ing and receiving OF fAvors, says;
"Tickie me- billy do do DO
You tickle me and IN tickle yoa.'
Our conservative friends have been engaged in
this tickling process for some time, or rather,
the coPPerhead party has been engaged in tick
ling them. The conservatives made the propo-
siiion-help Us 10 defeat the radicals, vote for
our conservative candidate, aud we will aid you
oil in being registered. Their the tickling COM
meneed. The Cops said they would help the
Johnsonites, and the Jonnsoniies proceeded 10
register the Cops. But the work has been over
done. Too many OF the " disqualified have
been registered they have grown arrogant
and Saucy, and refuse TO affiliate with the new
party, and hence the JohnsOnites have become
the suppliants. They make the propositions
their tune IL now
"Itlekie you, Billy. see. see, see,
Tickle you and you tickle me"
But the cops refuse 10 be tckeled they are
not so gullible as the the Johnsonites as will be
seen by tho proceedings OF the fifth district Con-
gressional Convention they refuse TO have any
thing to do with the " new party" and treat all
propositions looking TO q union between the two
parties with contempt,
We heard one OF our conservative friends talk
ing on this subject few days ago. He seemed a
good deal excited, and-srors. the first time we
ever heard him do such thing. lie DID the
democrats OF the Fifih District lie declared
they had been fooled and he told the truth
The conservatives, poor innocenis, thought they

BASE BALL.-Ii was arranged, as announced
last week, that the Towson and Lake base Rail
Clubs should play a match game at Towsontown
ON Monday last. The game came of, and-we
were beat badly beat. Il IL scarcely necessary
now TO refer 10 the cause OF this defeat, but this
much We will say, that when tho Tows0n Club
accepted the challange OF the Lake Club they
done 50 with the expectation Of playing members
Of that Club alone. Instead OF this however,
their opponents were for the most part, a picked
nine, composed Of members OF the Pastinie the
champions Of Maryland, aud other Baltimore
Clubs. As an instance, we need only mention
that Mr. Lewis, one Of our opponents, was con-
sidCred good enough player TO take place on
the FIRST nine Of the Pasiiue at their great match
with the Nationals, OF Washington on Saturday
last. Our club played badly. because, perhaps,
they felt somewhat indignant at the turn affairs
had taken, and gave up the match as a foregone
conclusion. We are perfectly willing TO play
any Baltimore County Club, but as the Towson
is composed entirely Of young men from the
county, men who never played a game before
the organization Of our club we respectfully sub
init that those whom We play should also be rep
reseniatives Of a Baltimore County Club alone

A BAND of Indians dressed in Uni
ted States uniforms, and armed with
carbines, sabres and rcvolyers. lately
made raid on the settlements on one
of the tributaries OF the Republican,
river, in Kansas, and stole all the pro.
visions, clothes and stock ofthc settlers
They also carried off woman and her
child, and after horribly outraging the
| former, left her inscnsiblc, in which
condition she was found the next day.
The Indians said they were determined
to retain possession Of their hunting
grounds ut all hazards, and gave the
settlers notice to leave at once. They
also said that several bands of Indians
were organized for the purpose of dri-
wing off the border settlers.
Great excitement exists on the from
tier, and troops have been sent to pro-
tcct the inhabitants. 1t is not stated
whether any of the settlers were killed,
but it is presumed not, rs the purpose
ofthc Indians seemed only to be to
drive the people away, and to effect
this they stole everything they could lay
their hands on.

THE LAUGH OF W0MAN.--A woman
has no natural gift more bewtching
than sweet laugh. 1t is like the sound
of flutes on the water. 1t leaps from
her in clear, sparkling rill; and the
heart that hears it feels us if it bathcd
in the cool, eXhilerating spring. Have
you ever pursued an unseen fugitive
through trees, led on by a fairy laugh
how here, now there, now found
We have: and we are pursuing that
wandering voice to this day. Some
times it comes to us in the midst OF
care, or sorrow, or irksome business,
and then we turn away and listen, and
hear it ringing in the room like a silver
bell, with power to scare away the evil
spirit of our mind How much We owe
to that sweet laugh 1t turns prose to
poetry: it hings flowers of sunshine
over the darkness of the wood in which
we are travelling; it touches with ligh,
even our sleep, which is no more than
the image of death, but is consumed
with dreams that are shadows ofimmor.

q sermon, surrounded by the army

well up to the front, for every shot

THE FoEETnouGHT OF PRUssIA-It
is stated as n striking instance of the
forcthouglt displayed ic the prussian
military preparations, thatnot only had
the war Office obtained the exact meas
urcmcnts of the Saxon railway bridges,
but had actually had the timber requir-
ed for their reconstruction alrccdv pre-
pared and fitted before the beginning OF
the war. AS, soon, thcrctorh, Is the
Saxons had destroyed them, three hun.
dred carpenters were sent oirfrom Ber

had nothing more to do than to put
them together. No better evidence
need he adduced to prove Prussia:

The WAY THE MONEY GoEs.-Ihe
cost of the Frcedman's Bureau is ST.
OO0, eco year, or n million a month
The main purpose OF this institution is
to give fat Office to political priests and
other lasarons Of the Republican party,
and to enable them to make fortunes
by robbing the Government and cheat
ing the poor negro. The cost OF col
lcctiug the internal revenue is stated at
SIS 5,OO0,O coo u year, or a million and i
quarter month This work might be
done by the States and local officers for
one tenth Of this sum, but then the
thousands Of Radical politicians who
are now receiving fat salaries for this
work would have no Offices. Here are
at least $25, ,0OO,OG q year drawn from
the pockets Of all oyertaNod people,
solely for the benefit Of "loyal' polltl
clans. Is it strange that taxes are
heavy when such items are known to
be numerous?

What Kind OF Government Have
WA

This question may well be asked il
view OF the many strange and ncon
sstcnt things that happen in these dis
jointcd times. The theory, is, that VIZ
have civil, Republican Government
but in practice we have sort OF ny
brid, half civil, half military. When
ever the Radicals desire any Constitu
tional Amendments passed by our Leg
slature, we have a complete civil Gov
ernmcnt; but whenever it comes to reg
ulatng our own internal affairs, oul
civil Government is of no avail, and the
military has to step in and sec justice
administered. One Of the latest
usurpations in the military line, is m
order from Gen. Grant, which directs
Commanders Of Departments, Districts
and Posts in the South to arrest per
sons charged with crimes and oIlGnses,
in cases where the civil authorities
have failed, neglected or are unable tc
arrest and bring such parties to trial
and to detain them until u proper judi
cial tribunal is ready and willing to Try
them.
This is q ucry grave and serious vio
lation Of the civil rights Of courts anC
Magistrates. 1t is wholly unconstitu
tionai despo,is and Anti-Ropublican
1t gives into the hands Of every little
military upstart, who may happen to b'
in command Of q Post, the power o
saying whether Magistrates have done
their duty, and Of arrestIng any one, a
the aggression Of any bod dy who may
complain, whether legally aggrievcd ol
not, in the hands Of an ignorant, vim
dici;iye or unscrupUlous man, it couIc
be used rs Il terrible engine Of oppres
sion and wrong. IL shows that Gen
Grant, whatever other qualities he may
possess, evidently lacks wisdom and
justice.
ltmay accidentally happen that Nc
hardship may arise ualcr this order On
the chances are decidedly the Other
way, and being wholly without any
shadow Of law, ought never to HAY,

drifting into Q strong centralized GOV
cmmput Before the var We scarcely
felt the power Of the general govern
meut amongst us. 1t carried our maii'
and collected duties enough for TIN
economical administration Of the GOV

But how is it now? We lind every

Build Uplaome Enterprise.

The matter ofhomc industry, is OF
vital Importance to the people OF the
South. We must do everything in our
power to foster and encourage all and
everything thati in the least tends to a
concentration of capital and labor in
our midst, and which seeks to develop
the mechanical and agricultural resour-
COS ocour section. The shade Of diff
ference in the prices Of material produ-
iced at home should not be Of such mo-
mont rs to cause total discontinuancc
Of patronage all Of which is in favor of
the foreign producer but fair allowan-
ccs should be made, and public spirit
enough cyinced as shall place our me
chanical abilities on such a footing that
thov will be able to compete with out
side capital and cheap labor, 1t is but
q question Of time, which liberality and
enterprise will soon accomplish.
TO this end encourage your own
work shops--your own ioundries-
your own mcchanics-your own mer-
chants. Neither go abroad nor send
abroad for what you can have manu-
factured or can purchase at home We
ought not TO purchose articles from
outside sources which can be produced
in our midst, merely because they are
triAe cheaper, but should encourage
our own producers by our patronage
We can neither be great nor indepen-
dent until we are self sustaining, and
we ought to be willing to payfor these
blessings. They will come with a uni
ted effort Oh the part Of our people,
and not before.

None of our readers will object tt
this knowledge, though SO many have
been deceived by reading quack ad
vertisemcnts under lhis and similar
heads, that they may be tempted tc
pass this article also. But we DO not
know Of u better heading, as we know
Of many Instances to prove the truth ol
the remarks below, which we take from
the Nashville Press and Times, adding
thereto our own endorsement.
We commend this article to the
careful consideration ofour readers:
Nothing is more common, when
business grows dull, and hard times
begin to spread their paralyzing effects
over financial circles, for merchants,
manufacturers and professional men
to seek y reduction Of expenses by
withdrawing their advertising patron
age from the newspapers. This how
ever, is very short sighted policy
1t is almost like taking in the sign
board from ones store door, or hiding
ones light under bushcl, Human
nature is curious conglomeration OF
motives and actions: and when man
sees dealer looking gloomy, hears
him talking discouragingIy, and finds
him dispensing with the ordinary
signs Of thrift, he is apt to transfer his
custom to II more prosperous looking
ncighbor, pretty much on the principle
that the world locks to the rising anC
shuns the sinking enterprise.
"At no time does Il business mm
need his wits and all his energy thar
when dull times threaten to overwhelm
him, This is the period when the sa
gacious seize their advantages. They
behold competitors withholding effort
so they rcdoublr their own. AS ad-
vlrtiser after advertiser withdraws from
the public, it becomes plain that the
field Of rivalry is cleared ofopposition
Then it is that the keen, wide awake

"That careful Old moNcy-mak2r AMI

known to spend doIlarior less than

often said that he never spent money
more proftably than when he invested
in printers ink during hard times, HI
considered it golden opportunity
never to be neglected.
