"Many q True Word Said In a Joke. y

We have been often reminded of this
apothegm by some Of the droll comments
of "Orphcus G. Kerr" or "Artemus
Ward" on public affairs. bu. we never
saw it more perfectly illustrated any where
than in the following extract from the
last letter Of flames Buchanan Macphsr-
son." the "Orpheus G. Kerr" of the New
Orleans Era. The responsibility of the
"Abolitionists for the beating Macpher-
son gave the "nigger." is exactly that
which tue Copperheads fasten upon the
people Of the North for the Southern re-
bellion.
"If you had only done what the South
wanted" they say. there would have
been no war. Why didn't You get down
on your knees and lick tho dust, and take
your kicking kindly as we did. and want
ed you to do? II you had. this unnatural
and unconstitutional war would never
have happened. You are responcible for
it. The blood is all on your skirts. you
mean. cowardly wbelps." Macpherson
epitomizes the speech Of Judge Perkins
before the X. G. C.'s last winter "to a
dot" The Judge himself could not state
its main point and spirit better.
SIn-As / was going along Rampant

and an Abolitionist on the other
"Abo." said ], "you 60 over and pull
that nigger's WOOL"
"What for?' asked Abo.
because tell You to-" l replied.
"It wouldn't be right" replied Abo;
'the boy has done me no harm, and 1
shan, pull his WOOL"
''If you don't do it." replied. "I'il
knock him down and pound him within
an inch of his life.'' vrf aict
II shan't do it," said Abo; "and I'd
like to know what he's done to you."
Nothing" / replied. "but he's mig
ger. and that's enough. If you'll pull
his wool I'll let him off. But you won't,
and if whip him to death, You ii be re-
sponsible for it, you vile, inhumsn, Alb
olition renegade. Where's your human

Of tiger. knocked him fiat on his bask.

ALMOST INcREDrTABLE.-We witnessed
sight last Saturday that to some of our
readers we doubt not, will seem almost
increditable. We started on drive to the
country Saturday morning. and when
some distance ont OF town we heard the
sound Of an AK. as if some one was chop
ping quite rapidly. On looking around
to see who was at work SO indust.iously,
who should we see bat old father Shse-
maker. OF this place. now ONE HUNDRED
AND FIVE YEARS OLD. busy at work chorping
cord wood! A considerable quantity of
cord wood was cut and stacked up in piles,
and team was loading at one Of these
piles as we passel. The teamster inform.
ed us that the old man had cut some eight
or ten cords during the summer. Joseph
Shoemaker, a contemporary of General
WasHISGroS. having voted for him for
President Of tho United States, chopping
cord wood in the year 1868! Who can

rebel armies. and now it is far more for
midable. Now, indeed, the only serious
obstacle to the suppression of the rebellion
is the attitude and action Of the democrat
ic party. Take that away, not to add its
influence to the power of the Government,
but simply to remove it from the contest
and make it nothing, and the Govern
ment can see its way right to the end oi
the war. and the restoration Of peace
that will never be broken by rebellion
again. The Democratic party. by open
disloyalty. armed organizations. resistance
Ito the laws, and menacing attitude
holds up the stone which. but for it,
would fall at once and grind the rebellior
to powder. This is evident to the rebels
and the whole world. Democrats who
don't wish to assist the rebellion should
think of it.-Ind. Jour.
