WILD OATS,
THE
Champion Comic Paper
OF AMERICA.
Tilts sparkling amlj’bripblly Illustrsted
Weekly, humcrojs aodj fatirical paper lias
entered upon the srveetli pear of its jollv
existence, and tbe publishers t ike pride in
saying that it will not be a whit b.bind any
thing that is American.
Ihe publishers of Wild Oats point with
pride to tlie wholly uuexampled success of
their paper, and, pledgeing themselves that
et seall be injtlie future even better tvan in
the past, thev ask a continuance of that kind
patronage which has placed it at the head
and fiout of American humorous pape s.
We have made arrangements wnicli will
enable us to present Wild Oats in a brighter
and better shape than heretofore, having
recently taken p - ssersion of our new puldi
cation office, and had fine coppcr-faced type
cast especially for us, together with all the
vast parphern.alia required in the production
of sucii a paper ns we give tlie public at he
low price of ten cents per copy.
We have also made arrangements with some
new artists, and shall at the same time re
tain such old favorites as THOMAS WORTH,
FRANK BELLEW, HOPKINS, WOOLF,
WALES, FRANK BEARD, BIKBEE, OPPFR.
STOIECKHAUDT, ROTHENGATTER, BEN
day, kettells, palmer cox mann.
KING BURY. STULL. WHITE. SPERRY,
EATON, SHELDON, etc’, while the editori
al department will still remain in the hands
of its founder, tlie vivacious Bricktot, of
whom enough is known without more being
said.
As nn additional inducement to subscribe
for the Centennial year, we have at great
expense prepared a comic chouio the crown
ing ffort ot that graphic momus, Hopkms.
It ii a work of ait, worthy of an elegant
frame, and is worth at least one half the
price asked for the subscription. It is a
‘ horse piece," bcir g a burlesque of Mazeppa
tied to tlie back of the fiery, untamed steed.
A copy will be sent to each subscriber during
tlie year.
Advertisers are beginning to find out that
Wild Oats reaches a greater number of live
men than any other illustrated paper in
America, and therefore it is a first class me
dimn of advertising.
To those who know Wild Oats we need
not say that it has not. does not, and will not
contain a word or an illustration which may
not lie taken in every family in the land.
Fun we give in various sized doses, but never
vulgarity in any shape. It is thoroughly
American in sentiment, wholly original,
sharp and incisive, and right to the point in
dealing with men and events of the day.

WASHINGTON SPECIAL TO CINCINNATI
ENQUIRER.
Ben Ilill is as much tickled over
the senatorship as is a small boy w i j,
anew tin horn.
LYNCHBURG NEWS.
Ben Ilill steps into life senate, the
match of any man in it, and says,
“I am in my father’s house. I have
come back and I mean to e:ay.”
ST. LOUIS HEFUBLICAN.
Senator-elect Hill visited tho sen
ate chamber to-day and was warmly
greeted by tho senators, Mr. B ainc
among the first.
- N. Y. WORLD.
Mr. Ilill in the upper chamber may
be expected to prove a moderate,
industrious and patriotic colleague
for General Gordon. Ilis earnest
and manly speech will not soon be
forgotten.
DAYTON, OHIO, JOURNAL, REP.
Notwithstanding the larruping
Blaine gave to Ben Hill, we are
rather glad that he has got into the
senate. Blane will get another chance
at him unless he comes over to our
side, which is not among the impos
sibilities.
BALTIMORE GAZETTE,
Mr. Ben. Hill is elected to the sen
ate, and this is regarded as a victory
of the younger element in politics.
Tho old bell-weathers of the ante
war democracy were onposed to Mr.
Ilill, but Benjamin was too strong
for them.
CHATTANOOGA TIME- 1 .
Senator Ilill owes iris election to
the young men of his state, yrho
have made him their hero, and who
have the utmost confidence in him.
He iihou'd forget the bitlerness of
the contest in which he Ims triumph
ed, Hud lei hi* jmiirotisrt* keep pice
with iiis amb'tion.
MOBILE’ REGISTER.
There is no doubt that Mi. Hill is
one of tlie ablest and bravest of our
Southern leaders. His grasp of in
tellect is broad nnd powerful, and
his industry is untiring. In oratory
he is unequalled, and now that lie
h.as a splendid field lor his labors,
we will find him an Ajax for the
South, defending the rights ol his
people and carrying the battle into
tlie camp of the enemy.
SELMA TIMES.
In the senate Mr. Hill will have an
ample scopo for debate, and it. is safe
to say that he will rank with the
ablest men in that body. lie will
there meet his former adversary, Mr.
Blaine, and, should occasion arise,
administer to him a greater castiga
tion than he did on the amnesty de
bate in the house last session. Mr.
Hill is in tne prime and vigor of life,
and is a man of commanding appear
ance, and possesses immense persona!
magnetism. A brilliant career is cer
tainly before him.
N 1 W YORK SUN.
Ben Ilill has won the position of
senator from Georgia, notwithstand
ing the strong opposition to him
which has lately been developed* and
which at onetime promised to secure
his defeat in the Georgia legislature.
Ben is among the abler tnen in con
gress from tne south, though occa
sionally inclined to he slightly erratic.
It was some words of his in the
house, last year, that provoked the
display which Jim Blaine made of
himself when he brought out the
“horrors of Andersonville.” Both
Hill and Blaine have since ,hen been
sent to the senate.
BOSTON ADVERTISER.
The transfer of Mr. Hill to the
senate maxes a vacancy in the lower
house, which will have to he filled
by anew election. We must con
dole with the disappointed Republi
cans of the seventh district in this
State, who last General
Butler to congress on purpose to
quarrel with Ben Hill. It is a very
sad case; but we suppose Mr. Blaine
can he trusted to take care of Mr.
Hill in the senate, while Butler, no
doubt, find abundant occasion for
the exercises of his peculiar contro
versial talent.
NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
The Unised States senate seems to
he in luck. To supplant Genera! Lo
gan with Judge Davis, and to re
place a man of moderate ability like
Mr. Norwood with a man of power
HAMILTON. HARRIS CO., GA„ FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1877
like Mr. Hill, menus a gain for the
senate in brains, if not in Itepubli
can votes. Thus far, certainly, the
South has done its share toward re
deeming this body from the blight
of mediocrity that has fallen on it
in late years, and tho prac ice which
seems now to obtain among South
ern Demoora’s of renominating iu
bulk their delegates to the house
gives promise of a series of trained
statesmen of like skill to those who
ruined the country before tho war.
BALTIMORE SUN.
Mr. Hill’s election to the senate Is
a great personal triumph, and it is
known he was opposed by nearly
every leading politician, including
ex-Gov. brown and Hon. Robert
Toombs. Ii is a little singular that
ex-speaker Blaine and Mr. Hill, who
led their respective parties in the
furious political debate which took
place in tho early days of the lasi
session, should both bo transferred
to the higher brand) of congress,
where they w ill doubtless have oc
casion to renew their gladiatorial en
counters. Mr. 11.11 is a man of re
markable oratorical powers, a debater
of rare skill and resources, but has
heretofore been regarded as an im
practicable politician. His election
how ever, as senator, under the ad
verse circumstances of his candicacy,
by a legislature fresh from the peo
ple, shows that ho has a firm hold on
the popular heart ot Georgia. k
MEMPHIS AVALANCHE
Mr. Hill is tho foremost man m
Georgia in point of ability, and ranks
in congress among the ablest of its
members. The Georgians are prond
of his intellectual vigor and force;
hut there is deenly grounded in the
man a nationality of sentiment to
which the irreconcilable Bourbons
object. lie cannot always be de
pended on to recognize the partisan
di ill senrgent, and lie was a union
man in ISOI. All the ultras could
not reconcile with their viiws of
statesmanship; so-during the senato
rial sinvoss they kept im a yaking
fire on old Ben from all along the
line. It was useless;he broke down
their combinations and won a victory
all the more glorious because achiev
ed in tho face of such strong and
per.-istent opposiii"tt.
NUW YORK HERALD.
The election of Ben Hill to the U
S senate from Georgia, wi’t give
much satisfaction to the people of all
seel ions irrespective of parly divi
sions. The opposition to tlie sureess
ful candidate came from the extreme
southern element, and grew out of
the conservative position oacupied by
Mr. Ilill on questions that have for
tlie past two years, and notably since
the Presidential elec ion, agitated tlie
country. The qualities which won
for Mr. Ili 1 the respect and admira
tion of the best citizens of the repub
lic made extreme and violent parti
sans his enemies. Ilis defeat"in tlie
senatorial struggle would have been
the triumph of the radical elenr nt in
the north, as well as of the fue eating
element of the south , and his elec
tion therefore takes the character of
a national victory.
CINCINNATA ENQUIRER.
Mr. Hill can hardly be said to he
a represenative of Georgia statesmen
but he is a man ot ability. He had
the opposition of the leading men of
tlie stale, hut triumphed through the
prejudices of tho unthinking classes.
Senco his eloyation to congress Mr.
Hill has labored assidioudy to gain
the hostility of the northern repub
licans. His speeches have not been
much the out growth of indiscretion
as the result of a systematic plan to
incur the displeasure of northern men
and then appeal to the ultra element
of his state for elevation. He has
gained his promotion through ques
tionable methods, hut it is to be
hoped that the democratic party will
still be able to carry such loads. We
have not looked with favor upon Mr
Hill, because he belongs to a school
of southern politicians whose mission
is personal agrandizement througli
harm. A man like Garland or La
mar or Hampton is worth more to
the south just dow than a hundred
mean and narrow and scfi.di nnd tur
bulant fellows like Ilill.
- CHARI,OTT OBSERVER
Tlie election of Ben Hill to 1 lie
United States senate from Georgia
shows the wonderful hold he had
upon the people of the state. From
the begining to the end of the strug
gle, it was essentially a fight between
tr.e politicians on one side and tlie
people on the other the people
were triumphant when they saw the
man they preferred nboro all others
elected over the powerful opposition
brought to bear against him. In
fact nearly all tho politicians of thu
state were bitterly opposed to Mr.
Hill, and worked night and day for
his defeat, and would no doubt haye
accomplished their nut pose, but the
people look the matter in hand, held
mass meotings ovpr the stnte, and in
structed their legislators for whom to
vote. Asa fervid orator and a pow
erful debater Ben .Ililf”is the peer of
any men in the United States senate,
uor will he sit silently by and listen
to the slanders of Blaine or any other
politician against tho land of his
birth. We cotigratilate Geoagia
upon her new senator.
W ABIUNGTON S-PtflAL TO CHICAGO
Tints.
Tho good feeling over Judge Da
vice is to great extent shared in Bon
Ililt’s astonishing triumph over such
opposition as few men ever merit,
for not only a strong faction of his
own party, but the republicans here
and iu Georgia conspired to lead iiis
state against him. his succes to day
was shared by a iarge part of both
parties in the house and senate, and
bis whereabouts during the day was
a constant levee of felicitation and
congratulation. lie had barely
set down from oneoftbe most touch
ing and eloquent outbursts of the day
sn favor of the compromise, the last
words of which rang in the ears ol
every one who lterad them for hours.
“I love those who loro my country;
I curse those who curse mo country,”
w hen the telegram was put in nis
hand saying,“Glory! you are elected!”
Ilis face was suffused with inexpress
ible joy, and he handed the welcome
announcement to his, next neighbor,
in two minutes it was known all
over the lloor and an incessant stream
poured over to shake hands. He
owned that there was a doubt on
his mind last nignt as to his ability
to break through his enemies, but he
declared that the iu'> > 1 - c "
who knew him and trusted him, did
the work. They sent a delegations
and petitions from nearly every dis
trict and county in the state, demand
ing their representatives to vole for
him, “That elected me,’’ said lie,
•“not the party people, for they wero
not my fricnd.”A more supremly
happy man the country does not
contain, nor does he he-itate lo own
it. lie, tlike Judge Davis, feels
touched by the confidence and good
opinion ot his stale.
A Liar’s Story.
The fact that Detroiters are long
suffering and kind-heated was again
exemplified yesterday. One of tho
dozen passengers on a Woodward
nventio car suddenly remarked that i:.
was an awful snow storm, and that
he never saw so much snow on the
ground before.
“Pooh!’’ exclaimed a little whiffet
of a man in the corner; “lliia is no
format all! Why, in Omaha I
have seen forty seyen feet of snow on
tbe ground at once !”
‘ Buried the town, didn’t it?”
queried the man opposite.
‘ Of course it buried tlie town, hut
that was all right. We dug out the
snow nnd left a crust, as a sort of
sky, and in three days we had sum
mer weather down there. Hose*
bloomed, peach trees blossomed, and
tho hoys went in swimming, the same
as in July t Don’t ta'k lo me about
such storms as this 1”
“W-whnt became of tho crnt?”
gasped a man at tlie front end of the
car.
It hangs up there yet!’’ replied the
noble liar, ‘ and tlie man who doubts
my word wants to step off the car for
half a minute I”
There that whole dozen men sat ns
clams, not dari g to even wink at
eacit other, or to enter a protest,
while tho little man branched off
anew and began telling that ho had
seen hail-stoncs weighing six pounds
each.
