Says Seth Green : A No. 1 mackerel
is a better temperance lecturer than
John B, Gough ever was. At least It
will make a person drink more water.
Bonjamin Franklin evinced his rug
ged honesty eveu in boyhood, and
never had to get out of a watermelon
patch faster than an active dog could
drive him.
Ladies bet on horse races at Sara
toga. When they lose a hundred
dollars, they cry so softly and beau
tifully that the winner refunds it.
“After a long and somewhat event
ful career,” said Mr. Ephraim Potter,
“my experience is that woman’s love
lasts just about as long as their at
tachment for a certain kind of sew
ing machine. They run the Wheeler
& Wilson to death for awhile, and
then they go for the Grover & Baker,
or some other; but when you try to
fasten them down on one machine,
they break the needles and play the
deuce with the shuttles.” Just here
a female voice was heard at the top
of the stairs, and the old man picked
up the morning’s paper and pretend
ed to read.— N 0. Bulletin,
An old woman who is crossing the
street has a narrow escape from bo
ing run over by a hearse: “I am not
at all superstitious,” she says to her
res<su, “but; it has always seemed
to me%hat it would be unlucky to be
kiiftd by a hearse. >T. T '
"What is solitude?” asked a Sun
day-school teacher the other Sunday
—a young merchant who is trying to
struggle life without
advertising. Ho was visibly disturb-
ed when a bright eyed urchin in the
rear replied: The store that don’t
advertise.” *
None so daf.t—Visiting magistrate
(to pauper lunatic)— “Well, William,
you have been here nearly ten years;
I suppose you would like to be dis
charged?” P. L.—“ Deed no, sir;
you don’t think I am so crazed as all
that, do you? I’m very comfortable,
thank your honor?
This is the delicious season when
the golden sunshine sleeps in the
meshes of the autumn haze; when
the merry youth and maiden his
them away to the gorgeously apparel
ed woods and eat enough chestnut
worms in one morning to keep a
flock of yellow-hammers for a week.
This is the grandest, mightiest,
most glorious republic that ever
blessed the world, and yet, with all
its power and learning, and great
ness, it can’t make an infuriated wo
man stop in the middle of a sentence
to listen to an explanation.
It was reported of Lord Byron that
he said that the most ungraceful act
which a woman could perform was
the eating of an egg. Commenting
on this, a calm Western observer
said that Byron had probably never
seen an American woman hanging
on by the teeth to a blazing hot corn
cob.—JlT. ¥. Times.
“The times are hard, my dear,”
said a man. to his better-halt, “and I
line it difficult to keep my nose above
water.” “You could easily keep your
nosofcbove water,” replied the lady,
“if you didn’t keep it so often above
brandy.”
A little boy was asked what time it
was. He answered “twelve.” “I
thought it more than that,” replied
his questioner. “It don’t never git
no more than that in these diggins,”
replied the youngsler. “Jest as soon
as it gits up to twelve, it starts at
one agin; it don’t nover git no higher
down ia this bottom.”
A Rosund foe anOkiver.—Bassom
piere, French Ambassador to Spain,
was telling Henry Iv. how he enter
ed Madrid. "I was mounted on the
very smallest mule in the world, said
the Ambassador. “Ah,” “said the
King, “what an amusing sight, to see
the biggest ass mounted on tbesmall
est mule!” “I was your Majesty’s rep
resentative,” was the rejoinder.
Alwaysdiscourage your inflantson’s
efforts to crawl up on the side of his

of natural selection will teach you
that sudtl efforts are but the rudi

nation to inflict himself upon his
country as a stump speaker, h
A ‘My friends,” said a returned mis
sionary, at one of the anniversary
us avoid sectarian bit
terness. The inhabitants of Hindoos
tan, where I have been laboring for
many years, have a proverb that,
‘Though you bathe a dog’s tail in oil
and bind it in splints, yet you cannot
get the crook out of it.’ Now, a man’s
sectarian bias is simply the crook in
the dog's tail, which cannot be erad
icated, and I hold that every one
should be alllowed to wag his own
peculiarity in peace.”

Claiborne parish promises 1.500 ma

Caldwell pariah is aroused. Two
thirds of the negroes of the upper
portion of the parish have joined the
Democracy. It will give over 500
majority.
All the negroes in and around the
town of Yidalia. Concordia parish,
are Democrats. It is possible for the
Democrats to elect their parish ticket,
as the Radicals are divided and split
and on the worst of terms.
The division in the Radical ranks
in the Fifth Judicial District is com

while East Baton Rouge and East
Feliciana support Dewing, the regu

The Democrats of Ouachita held

Gov. Kellogg, of Louisiana, may
be expected shortly to make his call
upon Grant for soldiers, and the
other half of the army will doubtless
be sent into the State for the bene
fit of those “sound Republicans,”
Packard and Casey. Kellogg has al
ready begun to make his arrange
ments by means of negro affidavits,
under Taft’* programme, for the ar
rest of thousands of Democrats a few
days before the election. When
Taft takes the stump in New York
he should tell the people something
about his beautiful election machin

The Earl of Albemarle describes
the Queen of England when a bright,
pretty girl, seven years old, she day
after day watered the plants under
the palace window,where he watched
her: “It was amusing to see how
impartially she divided the contents
of the watering pot between the flow
ers and her own little feet. Her sim
ple but becoming dress contrasted
with the gorgeous apparel now worn
by the little damsels of the rising
generation-a large straw hat and a
suit of white cotton; a colored fichu
was the only ornament she wore. ’

This incomparable preparation for tho Hair is
commended to the public on its own merits.
It prevents the Hair from falling off, producing
a rapid and healthy growth; eradicates scurf and
dandruff, and cures diseases of the scalp. Try it
aud judge for yourself.
[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Bec’y of Publication of
Presbyterian Church South.)
Rioh m oni>. July 27,1874.
The Xanthine 1b the only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed the dandruff irom
the scalp and made my hair soft and pliable, It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally uaiag it aa a hair dreaaing, I have
no doubt it will preserve tbo oolor.
[From Rev. Mr. Cameron, Minister of Presbyte
rian Church South.)

Xxsthjse Cos.. Richmond, V*.:
I have used the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced other* to buy it, and have nev
er known it to fail in accomplishing all you
claim for it. It is an excellent tonic, a pleasant
dressing, removing and preventing dandruff aiid
all unpleasant- ltckjng, promoting and preserving
the natural growth and color of the hair, and ren
dering it gloisy and pliable. I confidently,
cheerfully, knowingly recommend It.
