The WAY They DO IL.

Radical ladies, mistresses of aristo-
cratic families, understand how to init
ate the work of placing the mass of the
white people, the laboring men and wo-
men, on the dead level of social and
political equality with odoriferous
darkies. These female Radicals who
preside over households, do not choose
it would be beneath their dignity-tO
sleep with a domestic, white or black:
hut they will compel, on pain of losing
her place, poor dependent white hired
girl To sleep with negresS.
Several cases Of this kind have recent
" transpired in our city. One of the
most fragrant of these took place, not
many days since, ill palatial residence
near one of our largest parks or groves.
The lady of the house sent her maid, a
Young girl, the daughter of respectable
German parents, residing in the south
ern part of the city, on the first night of
her engagement with the family, te a
room in which she found but one bed,
and that occupied by negro woman.
The girl returned 10 her mistress, and
inquired if she intended she should
sleep i'll the same bed with the black
woman. The mistress replied that such
was her intention, and said that the ne
gress was as good as the white girl.
The latter did not choose 20 argue the
point, but simply objected to the sleep
ing arrangement. The mistress persist
ed in her requirement, adding in insult
ing language, that negro was as good as
a Dutchman or an Irishman, and as good
as the girls father or any other Democrat.
This was too much for the spirit of the
young German maid to brook, in whose
veins coursed the blood of her brave
Teutonic ancestors, and she left the
stylish hot-bed of Radicalism without
further ceremony.-C0Iumbus Statesman.

and white fingers look strained and in

these seat you may be sure he is new
conner to the city.
Coop PAY.-The Lords, Justices of
Appeal, as well as the Master of the
Rolls. in England, have $4,000 year
each, and the Vice Chaneellors each
$4,000. The Lord Chief Justice of the
Queens Bench receives $4,000: and the
other Judges $4,000; the Chief Justice OF
the Common Pleas 1000, and the other
Judges $4,000. The salary of the Chief
Baron of the Exchecquer is $1,000, and
f5,0C1 to each of the Barons OF the
Court.
DRUNKENNESS. According to evil
dence given in report of the Liverpool
health committee, "quite young wo-
man. in that city has been imprisoned
one hundred and fourteen times for
drunkenness, and another had been ta-
ken up one hundred and twenty times.
The evidence goes to show that drunk
enness is on the increase there, especially
amongst the wives and children of the
laboring population. -I-=- ..-.r-
MouANMEDAN MERCANTILE MORAL
ITY.-In some OF its phases, Mohamme-
dan mercantile morality exceeds in its
scrupulousncss that of any otherpeople,
whatever their religious character or
creed. A mercantile firm in Salonica
had bills to Il large amount on the prin-
cipal inabitants and merchants of the
place, which, with their books and pa
pers, were destroyed by fire. On the
day following, prominent Turk, who
was largely in their debt, went in person
and told them that, having heard that
their papers had been destroyed, he had
brought copy Of his account with
them and fresh bills for the amount
which was their due. This example was
followed by all the Turkish debtors to
them. 1t does not appear 10 he lntlma-
ted that this course was one that they
mad ever learned from the Christian
traders in their country.
4 dispatch from Toronto says: The
gold excitement i'll the neighborhood of
Bcllvillc, G. W., is rapidly increasing,
and large numbers of persons are daily
visiting the digsings. The stages to
Madoc are crowded every trip, and the
livery stables cannot supply the demands
made upon them for horses and car
riages. Several kegs of ore have been
shipped per express to Boston, which
have been proved to contain a large
percentage of gold. A Boston firm has
made some heavy purchases i'll that To-
caliiy, and will shortly commence opera
tions. Returned California miners who
have visited the place speak most favor
ably OF the prospects.

SENTIMENT and romance, highfalutin,
and bosh never had ncater let-down
than the following Big Injun" story.
Well wager the young lady was dis
charged, cured, before the Injun found
relief:
Col. T., who fell fighting gallantly at
the first battle of Manassas, related an
incident which occurred at n reception
given to some Indian Chiefs in the
principal city of his native State, as n
remarkable instance OF mistaken sym
pathy. A romantic young lady, whose
mind was deeply imbued with reading
the Sorrows of Werter,' and other
novels of the exquisitely sentimental
school, approached a stalwart savage,
whose sOmbre visage indicated suffering
of some kind, and addressed him thus:
"Why droOps the eagle eye Of the forest
chiefi Is he brooding over the wrongs
of his racei Does the memory Of the
red warrior revert to the past, when his
proud ancestors roamed through the
mighty forests, and enjoyed the prime
val glories of nature, now SO sadly mar
red by the axe and plough of the I'M
sympathizing rustic =
The answer of the forest chief with TIA e
dropping eagle eye was little shocking
to her refined sensibility.

FISHING FOR A GoosE.-WhenG General
Hoke's division was on the retreat
through this county, one of the boys
baited hook with grain of corn and
threw into flock of geese that had been
driven into farmers yard for protec-
ton. No sooner on the ground than it
was seized and swallowed by the old
gander. Suddenly his gooseship was
seen to fly over the fence, and with his
neck extended and wings spread, he was
following the soldier. The old farmer
seeing this, ran out and exclaimed,
Don't strike him, friend, he won't hurt
youw He had not seen the cord, and
supposed the gander was for making
fight at the stranger. He followed on
for mile, begging that his goose should
not be hurt; when, to his utter dismay,
the goose mounted the horse with the
rider, and was soon out of sight

Wednesday Morning, =. November I l..
MARYLAND and West Virginia.

The conservative triumph in the city
of Baltimore is the natural result of the
proscriptive policy pursued by the rad
icalsin Maryland. No such prescription
rs that which has existed in Maryland,
and still exists in West Virginia, can be
long lived 1t wears itself out, and
thousands of men who, i'll the first flush
of passion, advocated or applauded the
system, become convinced of its in
Justice, and shocked by its enormities as
soon'aS sober reason resumes her sway.
Two years ago the Republicans polletl
$1,000 votes in the city of Balti
more, and their opponents only about
5000. Now the Republican vote
has fallen to 1900, only half its former
proportions, while the conservative
vote has increased to $500. There
were probably few persons who voted
in Baltimore this year who did not vote
there two years ago; i'll fact the whole
vote this year is less than it was two
wears ago. The difference i'll the result
can only be accounted for by the fact
that many Republicans have become
disgusted with, the violence and eX-
ccsses and lawleSSness of the men who
have usurped control of the party, and
see that the safety of the nation can
only be secured by radical defeat.
We believe that radical intolerance in
this State will also defeat ITSELF
There are hundreds Of men who, while
under the influence of the passions
generated by the civil war, have acted
with and approved the course of the
radical party i'll West Virginia, but who
are not prepared to sanction the ont
races committed in the name of loyalty
now that the war Is over. The reaction
NAV be slower in this State than 1t was
in Maryland, bat it riil come, and 1t Will
come soon. Every additional crime
pcrpetrated by the dominant party will
drive honest voters from its ranks, and
every fresh exhibition of contempt for the
rights of the people that the radi-
cal politicians may give will serve to
show TO the candid voters of the party
how deadly a serpent they have aided
in warming into life. There are many
men who voted the radical ticket Ill
West Virginia this fall who will never
do su again. There are many men Ill
the ranks of the radical party who can
not anu VIII not defend the manner III
which the partizan Boards of Registra'
ton have violated the provisions OF
the Registration Act, and unless the
leaders of the party change their nature
and their course, it is probable that
fresh and still greater outrages will be
perpetrated before another election is
held. The fate of radicalism III Mary
land will ultimately be its fate here,
and, when once overthrown, prSscrip-
tion and intolerance will never be per
mitted to rise again. 1t is the duty of
conservative men Ito labor and to
wait

The ReRiatef,s Needs.

We learn from the IRteliigencer of yes
terlay, that "money and brains" are the

How bashfully Sir Oracle parades his
.ealibre and cash. The pompous Phari-
see, thanking God that he was not as
the poor publican, was humility itself,
compared with the egotistic negro suf-
frage editor. We shall not trouble our
selves to deny the htelligencer's self
satisfying intimation of its own ability
and affluence. We are perfectly willing
that it shall enjoy all the honor it may
secure by vaunting possessions, of which
no gentleman ever boasts, and upon
which none hut fools or imposters ever
brag. Nor do we deem it incumbent
npon us to2show that the REGISTER is
not inferior to the Intelligencer in point
of ability, or to refute the charge OF
penury by showing the evidence of our
superior prosperity, in the shape of
circulation fully double that of the ne
gro suffrage organ. We think, however,
that the reproach of poverty comes with
a bad grace from a paper which, for
long years, was deemed little better
than a common pauper in the
community Of abolition newspapers.
Its early history must perish from MEM
DRY, before this INDECENT pensioner upon
Puritan bounty can decently revile the
penury of others. And as rich as this
fortunate representative ofpast pauper-
ism may now be, we would infinitely
prefer An honest poverty to wealth that
is tarnished with guile, or riches that
evidence corrupted conscience or bar
tered principles. We have never yet,
as has the Intelligencer, truckled to pow

Frcnks OF Oil Wells.

The Titusyillc Herald relates the fol-
lowing singular freaks of oil wells: Ar
cher well No. l, Tarr Farm, was struck
October ), 1865, and for about year
pumped, on an average, from forty 10
fifty barrels per day. On the 9th nit.
it concluded that it had logged on the
even tenor of its way long enough; that
the sucker rods, walking beams, &c,
had become about rs much of a bore as
the drilling tools were in its earlier
DAYS, and so began October 9th, to do
business on it's own account, flowing a
hundred barrels per day. Parker well
No. =, same farm, for the last six months
has been doing about fifteen barrels per
day. but lately run down 10 five bar
rcls. and on the 18th of October the own
ers concluded to abandon the concern,
and while drawing the sucker it COM
menced flowing. and keeps it up TO the
figure Of eighty barrels day.

their swords, and fought man to man In
the good old fashion. / remember having
read in German histories Of the strategical
art, that so long as the sword was the wea.
pom principally used in war, no Continental
tribe could match the Teutons on the bat
tle-feld. However, when the Germans,
unluckily for themselves, stumbled upon
the invention of gunpowder, other nations,
more adroit in handling the musket and
executing the man9uvres its use involves,
were enabled to dispute the glory Of mill
tary prestige with its former monopolists.
Whatever the atom of truth in this self
complacent assertion may be, there are
few cases on record where the Germans
have really warmed to their work on the
battle field while confined to shooting and
stabbing. Shooting leaves them indiffe-
rent; the bayonet they positively
hate, having an indefinite feeling that
it is not o legitimate weapon of
warfare, but sort of long Stiletto, while if
you give them sword-the heavier the
better-they are in their own element, and
need no instruction as to how to lay it on
ctfectual!y. To indulge their battering in
clinaton, the Prussian soldierly formerly
used to reverse their muskets, and belabor
the foe with the butt end, a process far too
energetic to employ with so delicate an
instrument as the needle gun, which would
fall to pieces on the second blow. so
nothing remains but to draw the sword,
and although it is said to be little too
short and great deal too light to suit the
taste of the men, still, as it is the nearest
approach to club within their reach in
this civilized age, they prefer it in an
emergency to Brown Bess. In the present
combat its efficiency in their hands was
fully proved. After a few moments Of
sashing right and left, the Sclavonic bayo-
net yielded to the German sabre.
