for strange people to read.
BY D. C. A.
for the Hartwell Sun
*\Vetmw found out by experience
tli*t there ire a great many strange peo
ple in this world of ours. We said
“ strange ” —is that the name for them ?
We have full reference to people who
are always croaking, growling, grumb
ling, gossiping, snarling, snapping, fret
ting and, worst of all, backbiting and
fault-finding. They certainly are the
worst species of human beings. What
advantage is there for people to be
always blaming and censuring some
body for what they are daily doing
themselves ? They are indeed power
fully smart—oh, yes ! they are so sharp
that they can see every one's faults but
their own. They can see, too, that
everybody is wrong but themselves. Now
isn’t that queer ? Now we have fallen
upon the right name, we will call them
Queer. ’Tis Queer that can't see the
best people in the world are the most
candid, open-hearted, affable, kind,
charitabl*, free and unsuspecting ; but
then they wouldn't be Queer if they
saw it, and as they love to be Queer
they cam’t see it. And, as it has been
truthfully said, it is Queer that doesn’t
know that people who deserve the most
censure themselves are most apt to be
always blaming and scolding their
neighbors. And it is also Queer that
never found out that those who arc so
keen-sighted as to see other people’s
faults are stone-blind, as it were, to
their own. It is also Queer that never
saw, read or heard of the Great I Am's
words upon such, when He said : “Thou
hypocrite! first cast the beam out of
thine own eye.” We know it is Queer,
but if all this was not Queer there
would be no Queer, then Queers would
have to fight with themselves, and as it
said of the Killkenny cats, kill them
selves because they are like other cats.
And so Queer travels through this
world fretting at everything that isn't
queer as themselves. It is frequently
said that a fretting man or woman is
something like a wasp (however, to the
honor of the wasp be it said, it will not
sting unless you trouble it), but a fault
finding, fretful, peevish, dissatisfied
mortaJ goes through life buzzing and
stinging without provocation. Why
will people be queer ? It has been
wisely said that Queer never sets
broken bones, never stops any leaks,
gathers no spilt milk, mends no smash
ed pitchers, changes no east wind, &c.
Well, then, what advantage is Queer to
the world ? lie starts no one on the
road to fame or celebrity. It will do
this, it will cause people to laugh at
you, for they know that barking dogs
never bite. Well, then, since we find
that Queer is of no advantage, why not
be somebody else ? For instance, why
not be sociable, for all people should be
sociable ; and neither should their so
ciablity be confined to a certain class
(the rich), but to all people who are re
spectable. There are certain bonds of
sympathy which are delicate and holy,
and with proper culture they may he
made to expand and grow, widen and
deepen until they will hold in their
strong clasp etefy lieart in the wide
land and bind us effectually together.
Let us consign to oblivion's bottom
less gulf the past with all of its trials
and troubles, hatred and horrors, and
let us teach our lips the language of
love and not that of strife. Let us re
cur as seldom as possible to themes
mutually distasteful and disagreeable,
and let our allusions to those who have
fallen on either side always be respect
ful and kind.
All people build their own statues
and monuments, and in youth the found
ation is laid. The base is made nar
row or broad in accordance to sustain
the structure they have designed.
Old Capital: Did you ever see two
women kiss each other? It's very fun
ny. They slide up toward each other
aud smile a dry sort of smile, then they
both jab forward and their lips come to
gether with an ununctious dryness that
has no suction or warmth, of life about
it. How different when it is a young
man with a moustache in the business!
Then they draw down to each other gen
tly, but firmly, get a good solid hold
with their feet and hands, the eyes fond
ly, tcuderly, meltingly gaze into each
other, the lips meet first with a gentle
pressure, aud then more pressure, and
more, until you think their teeth will
give way, and all the time the suction
would discount a force pump. Oh,
there's a wonderful difference!
Josh Billings: The man who dies
the richest is the one who leaves the 1
least here and takes the most with him.

.1 ndertmi lutMiyenter, link inut.
On Inst. Friday morning the Radical*
of Pendleton had a political meeting,
at which about one hundred and fifty
(Colored persons and fifty white* were
present. James Watkins, colored, act
ed aa chairman, and first introduced
Win. R. Parker, the radical candidate
for the legislature in this Count}’. He
urged the colored people to stand by
and vote for him, promising to repre
sent them and the white people fairly,
if elected. He agreod to do his best
to repeal the fence law, and said he
would vote for the best man who ran
for United States Senator, and con
sumed a great deal of time very use
lessly in telling what he would do if
elected. Mis whole speech was nliout
himself and the race for the legisla
ture. A great deal of his speech was
too vulgar to appear in print.
E. B. Murray, Esq., who was pres
ent under an invitation from the Presi
dent of the Pendleton Democratic
(Tub, was then invited to address the
meeting, and responded by saying that
he was not present to ask for votes for
any man, but to inform the colored peo
ple of the blessings which have been
conferred on them as a race by the
Democratic party. He allowed the re
duction in taxes, and the fair treatment
given them on the school question. lie
also told them of the peace and pro
tection they receive from the Democrats
hut did not receive from the Radicals,
lie advised them to let Parker and all
other Radicals alone and vote the Dem
ocratic ticket. He condemned Parker
for mixing politics with his religion,
and taking up collections in his churches
for political purposes. He also com
mented on the promise which Parker
made to resign the County Chairman
ship, but had not done so, and likewise
on his promise to write a card and pub
lish it declining to run for tho Legisla
ture. lie said that if Parker did not
keep his promises at home he could not
be trusted to keep them in the Legisla
ture. The speaker also dwelt at length
on the interests of the colored race,
and condemned the vulgarity of Park
er in his public speeches.
At the conclusion of Mr. Murray’s
speech, G. T. Strickland, a notorious
colored preacher of Pendleton, was an
nounced, and evidently intended to
make it hot for the whites. lie began
by attacking the Intelligencer for com
menting on his letter to a Northern pa
per, charging him with mixing politics
with religion, and lmd not spoken more
than two or three minutes before ho
said the statement of the Intelligencer
was an infamous lie. At this point his
speech ended, as Mr. Murray struck at
him with a very heavy umbrella, and
would have floored him, hut for the fact
that lie dodged, and jumping from the
platform speedily disappeared. As he
left in one direct ion, Parker edged off
in the other, hut as soon as quiet was
partially restored he returned and dis
missed the crowd, saying he could have
spoken without trouble, but that Strick
land had used improper language, and
he did not blame Mr. Murray for re
senting it.
The result of this meeting has taught
the Radicals that it is not safe to in
sult Democrats, and will no doubt put
an end to it. Should a similar occur
rence happen again, the one offending
will not fare so well for the Democrats
iu future will he more substantially
armed than with umbrellas. It would
lie great injustice not to complimcut
the judgment, prudence and bravery of
the few white men who were present at
this meeting. They were ready to re
sist an assault, but were careful not to
cause any conflict.
“ Every man should provide liberally
for his family,” says Smith. “Ever
since my marriage I have kept my
wife provided with a sewing machine
surmounted by a fine mirror.” “ What
is the mirror for?” inquired a party
present. “ Well,” said the oracle, “ I
tell her that when she gets so lazy that
she can’t run the machine, she can sit
still and see herself starve to death.”
“ Dearest,” lie murmured ecstatical
ly, as he folded her in his arms lor the
first time, “ let me sample the nectar of
your lips.” “Take a whole schooner
of it,” she faintly whispered, “it’s all
on tap.” —Newark Call.
A clergyman usked some children:
“ Why do wc say in the Lord's prayer,
‘ who art in heaven,’ since God is every
where?” A little drummer boy an
swered, “ Because it’s headquarters.”
