HE NEW REGnIE.-The Hartford
Conn. Post gives an account of how
white man polished o negro's boots
after the following style:
The Democratic nominee in Meri-
den for Representative, w. P. Nor
gan, bet George Hodge, barber, (co-
lored, that English would be elected,
and agreed to black the latter's boots
in public place if he should be de-
feated. The affair came off, the other
day, at the store of He'll & Morgan,
in good shape. A box, such as the
boys use at all railroad stations, was
sent for from Hartford for the occa-
sion. Mr.. Morgan displayed much
artistic talent, and was loudly cheered
by the crowd who were present. Mr..
Hodge, the colored man, in the en-
ploy of Jeffrey & Welch, occasionally
pointed ut some part of the boots
which he thought needed little more
blacking, and Mr.. Morgan cheer
fully put it on. The task being
finished, Mr.. Morgan said to the
by-standers: Gentlemen, it is MS I
told you It would be-if Mr.. Hawley
was elected you would see white men
polishing black mems boots, and if
Mr.. English was elected, you would
see black men polishing white mems
boots" Three cheers were given for
Morgan for having faithfully per-
formed his duty, and three more were
given for Governor Hawley. Mr.. G.
h. Warner then offered the brush and
blacking box for sale. They brought
three dollars.

The LATEST CURIOSITY
FALLS ENDORSED BY NATURE. The
Sandusky Register has the following:
A gentleman of this city is the un-
happy possessor of bright little
daughter six months old When the
child was born the head was entirely
devoid of hair, except the back head,
which, with the ladies, is covered by
the waterfall, and on this portion was
thick growth of jet-black hair, three
inches long, and precisely in the
shape of the most approved waterfall
The young lady paid us the compli-
ment of visit yesterday-wearing
her fashionable, but natural append
age. This singular growth of hair
remains, presenting grotesque ap-
pearance, and being only slightly
relieved by the usual growth of fine
white hair on other portions of the
head.
The circumstance is, of course,
easily explained by the prevailing
mode of wearing tie hair, and the
impression made by the style upon
the mind of the mother. Another ex-
planation has been suggested, name
ly, that nature, seeing what deal of
trouble and expense the construction
of an artificial waterfall incurs, de-
cided to provide the next generation
of young ladies with the genuine
article from her own laboratory.
This will be great saving of expense
in large families.

Packing a Jury


The Philadelphia Age, with pluck and
perseverance, which can not be too high
ly commended, and which we feel ourselves
unable to initiate in the present state of the
thermometer, has been wading through
the huge volume containing the testimony
taken before the Reconstruction Commit
tee, and has made some interesting discoy-
the authority of the age, is an extract
from the testimony of JOHN C. UNDERWOOD,
who is Judge of the District Court of the
United States for that District:
Q. Could either jefferson Davis or Rob-
ert f. Lee be convicted of treason in Vir-
ginia?
A. Oh, no! unless you had packed
q. Could you manage to pack jury
there?
A. / think it would be very difficult, but
it could be done. l could pack jury to
convict him.
When 1t is remembered that this is the
man in whose court the Indictment against
Mr.. DAVIS was found, and before whom,
according to the record, he is to be tried,
the public win stand aghast at this disclo-
sure. That the Radicals should conceive
the idea of trying Mr.. DAVIS by packed
jury does not surprise us in the least; that
UNDERWOOD should offer himself as a will
ling tool to carry out the excerable plot is
in harmony with his antecedents and his
character; but that the Radical majority Ia
Congress should be willing to pnt these
facts on record and publish them in an OIL
cial document does surprise us. We are
more than surprised-we are astOunded
Large as our experience of Radical cor.
ruptlons and ihpudence has been, we were
unprepared for this. Such utter shame
lessness passes conception. Unable to com
prehend, we feel inadequate to the task o
criticising it, and merely call attention t.
it as an exhibition OF an Indifference to in.
fanny that has in 1t touch of the sublime

The Riots in New Orleans.

The assemblage of the old Radical State
Convention, called by the Governor of Lou
isana, for factious revolutionary purposes,
has led to riotous proceedings in New Or
leans. They were promptly suppressed,
however, by the authorities. Despite this
fact, the people are afflicted with the decla-
ration Of martial law, and the appointment
of a military Governor over them. 1t is
high time the President put a stopto such
antics on the part of the military, and that
he dealt severely with those who make the
slightest excuse the reason for playing the
tyrant

What would you do with GRRLEYP And
what with ABRAHAM LINCOLN, who de-
clared upon the floor Of Congress that any
portion ofa people Of scountry had right

their own, and that majority Of that por-

"Thc Convection docs Dot assemble Co
