Hatred Of the North toward the
South.

When at the close of the war, thousands
of white Southern women and children were
starving, tire republicans wickedly and with
furious hatred caused them to be supplied
With rations; and not content with that, rab
id abolitionists actually sent clothing to COW
er and warm the naked and shivering, and
contributed thousands of dollars to buy
bread and seed corn for those whom the alb
horred Freedmen's and Refugees Bureau
could not sufficiently provide. The diaboli-
cal spirit shown in these acts ought to in
flame the anger of every true Southern man,
and convince hlm of what the World and
Daily NeUs so continually assert, that the
republicans hate the Southern people.
Another evidence of the Northern spite is
found in the malignant establishment of
schools in different parts of the South, not
only for the freedmen, but for white children.
Surely nothing but the most vindictive hate
could lead republicans to give thousands of
dollars to set up free schools for the children
of Southern men. Eleven Northern Socie-
ties, all of them under the management of
abhorred radicals, and supported by the con-
tributions of these republicans who so fierce
ly hate the South, have employed during the
last year, and are now maintaining in the
Southern States 760 teachers, every one of
whom has orders to teach all the white chill
drcn within reach; and so bigoted and fa-
natical are these radicals that they are set
ting up separate schools for white children
in some districts where they find prejudice
against the blacks too strong to allow the
children of the two races to attend school
together.
Another proof of the bitter and vindictive
spirit of the republicans toward the South
ern people is to be found in that, during
the year 1865, thirteen societies for the re-
lief of suffering in the South received S402,-
92S in cash, pnd S367, ,709 worth of supplies,
of which we have reason to believe at least
nine -tenths was contributed by the republi-
cans, who so notoriously hate the Southern
people.
As for the acts of the radical rump Con-
gress, the chief one, the civil rights law,
shows to what extremes these haters of the
South will go. This law actually infllcts
upon the Southern people the curse of equal
rights before the law 1t establishes law
and order in the South Could anything be
more injurious and atrocious!
But the feelings of the republicans toward
the Southern people are well known to many
Southern men, who, satisfied that they are
hated and despised in the North, come hith
er by the hundreds to ask for money to build
churches, to establish orphan asylums, to re-
lieve distress, to set up schools. Others are
borrowing money to carry on their planta
tions, are getting goods here on credit, com
ing North to enter into business or practice
their professions. All these show by theil
acts that they believe all the World and
Daily NewS tell them about the hatred ol
the North toward the South.-N. Y. Post.

The Mexican Drama.

The Mexican drama seems to be ap-
preaching an interesting denouement. Three
characters were introduced in the first act,
Great Britain, France and Spain, like three
big bullies, started out to waylay the poor
maid Mexico, which was very much like a
demoralized female ragamuflin. France
played the part of first villain, Spain, second
villain, England, little assistant villain. Their
only object, as they avowed, was to make
Mexico pay certain debts which had been
repudiated. Brother Jonathan, very busy
with domestic affair, could only warn them
to do nothing rash while he was engaged.
In the second act the first villain disclosed
to the other villains a plan TO get belly-full
of glory but il is so bold and so unpromis-
ing except to the first villain that the sec
ond villain and the little assistant villain
back out MaXimilian was then brought
forward as the tool of the first villain, and
poor Mexico began to suffer all sorts of in
dignities. She defended herself as well as
she could by scratching and biting, but this
only exhausted her and tore her clothes,
while the first villain held her with what
force he could and Macmillan alternately
coaxed and threatened her. This act lasted
until the suppression of the rebellion, and
the third act opened with few remarks by
Brother Jonathan who Just found time to at-
tend to this affair in which his nearest neigh
Dor was involved. lie told the big villain
plainly that he "must let that gal 60 hel
own ways and MaXimlian's mother wa'

This caused the big villain and his tool tC
shake in their boots, and gave the poor maiC
Mexico hope of salvation, The big villain
promised to go home and stay there |

THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF
THE EMPEROR OF RUssIA.-A private let
ter from one who is employed on the st.
Petersburg and Moscow railroad, gives the
following account of the attempt upon the
life of the emperor of Russia, on the 10th of
April:
The emperor was riding in an open car
riage i'll the summer gardens at st. Peters
burg, and when he was about to leave for
the palace there was a rush of people to see
him pass at the entrance of the gardens, as
there always is on such occasions. One
man seeing another fighting his wr5-throtrSh
the crowd to get a better view of the empe-
ror, as he supposed, followed him for the
same purpose, and ON reaching the outside
of the gate, the first man drew Il pistol from
his coat and aimed it at the emperor. The
man who followed him was one of the poor
serfs lately freed by the emperor, and when
he saw the other man raise his arm he struck
it, sending it up, and the pistol went off, the
ball passing into the air. The man that
fired turned to get away, but was caught.
He is so much excited that he can give no
account of himself yet but he is supposed to
be a Pole"
"The man who saved the emperor's life is
the lion of the day. The emperor took him
home to the palace, introduced him to the
royal family and to his generals, and made
him a present in the city which cost $4,000
silver roubes. The fortunate man has IA
wife and one child. There were two days
of iollifcation and one day of thanksgiving
and praise at the emperor's deliverance, with
illuminations and general demonstrations of
JOY. There has been no such time in st. Pc
tersburg since it became a city"

WHISKY AND NEwsP APERs.-Ag glass of
whisky is manufactured from perhaps doz-
en- grains of corn, the value of which is too
small to be estimated. A glass of this mix
ture sells for dime, and if of good brand
is considered well worth the money. 1t is
drank in a minute or two. 1t fires the brain
sharpens the appetite, deranges and weakens
the physical system. On the same side-hoard
on which the deleterious beverage is served
lies a newspaper, 1t is covered with half
million of types-it brings intelligence from
the four quarters Of the globe. The news
paper costs less than the glass of grog-the
Juice of few grains of corn-but it is no
less strange than true that there is large
number of people who think corn juice cheap
and newspapers dear.

A CAPACITY FOR SwALLowNG.-On
Saturday last an Irish hod-carrier entered
drinkery where whskey is sold by the pint,
and called for half pint of whiskey,
"Where's your bottleyn asked the dealer,
when he filled the tin measure.
"Meself is my bottle" was the reply, "I'n

The man of whiskey stared but passed
over the utensil. The hod-carrier drained

an hour
"That halfpint of whiskey is very lone

Another was given him and he drank it.
At three o'clock the same afternoon he came
again to the whiskey seller.
"Them two half pints is quarrelin', said
he, "raisin disturbance inside of me; let
me have another half pint to separate them.
He got it and went his way. Whether
the man is still living is more than we can
tell. There was no death that night or yes

On the Ferry.

On the ferry sailing DER
To the city, lying dim,
In the mellow mist of evening,
On the rivers farther rim,
On the ferry, gazing outward,
Ger the river, far and cold,
While the blue bay dips its waters
In the sunsets fleeting gold.
On the ferry, gazing outward,
D, thou river strong and wide,
Everv-pulse is beating measure
With the rythm Of thy tide!
While thy waves break swift and eager,
Motonless the great ship stands,
And above each penduous pcnnon,
Lures me with a beckoning hand.
Shifting DER the uneasy water,
Lean the sunset bars Of flame,
Like the legendary ladder,
On which angels went and came.
In another summer evening,
On, little way before,
shall reach another ferry,
Seeking swift farther shore.
shall cross a drearier ferry
Crossing to return no more,
Sailing for iairer city,
Lying on a iairer shore.
viii Gods sunshine lean around me
Flushing every wave in goldP
VIII you row me gently over
Charon, boatman, calm and cold?
When the earth airs cease to chill me,
When my meagre day is done,
Boatman, bear me through the splendor,
Falling from the setting sunl
Bear me onward to the mystery,
The Eternal will unfold
To the unrevealed glory
Hid within yon gates of gold.
Life may touch the soul so gently,
We can hardly call it rough;
Yet wen all say in it's closing,
Our brief day 5 been long enough.
So stand with gathered garments,
Ere the deeper shadows fall;
Drops my heart its last, last idol,
Listening to the boatman's call.
Comel and by my spirits sinking
By my shrinking fears untold
Bear me gently DER those waters,
Charon, boatman, calm and cold.
