Everybody said so. The Union has been
preserved-so much for rs.
Your States are kept out of the Union,
which is still preservedl You want re-
construction. Wen reconstruct you =
You folks are very wicked, Bill. God
Furnishes wickedness. Good agents live in
the North exclusively, Bill ! And we'll let
you bach in the Union, which has been
preserved, when We get ready. First, you
must hunt up the balance of your property
and give it to some of our great and good
agents and generals. Then you must move
out of your houses, that is, what are left,
and let the negroes in. And you must
give the negroes your plantations And,
Bill, you must give them all your property
and then support the late war BY manual
labor. And you must let the negroes vote,
for they are wanted for Republican Con,
gressmen, Senators and sich. And you
must ignore your war debts, and not pay
them, even upon the basis of honor. And
you must help US pay for licking you
And ere you do this, you must have your
property taken from you, 30 it will be easy.
We are just and magnanimous people in
the North! We are liberal and brotherly
We want peace and harmony We don't
want you folks to go to hell, nor do we
want you to dress better than we do. Per.
sonally, we know bat little of this country.
In eighteen hundred and sixty-three we
left our country, Immediately in advance ot
bayonet, for saying some of our folks
were stealing from some Of your folks, and
for writing naughty letters to the La Crosse
Democrat, charging some of our generals
with stealing and cowardioe. And we
have had a very pleasant time of it at home
for thinking as much as you think, but now
we are convinced that the war for the Un.
ion was splendid success-that the coun'
try is better off-that the negroes are
happier-that the people are in better cir.
cumstances, especially the thieves and
robbers, who have fattened on the blood
and stolen their enemies poor-that the
way to make one section of the country
love another, is to fight, rob, steal and
desolate them into hsppiness-thst onr
taxes are lighter-that Republican re-
trenohment and reform is good thing fol
poor People and tax payers--that the sure
way to national greatness, is to quarrel
with sections continually-that a people
are apt to love their persecutors-that il
is honorable, and evidence of manly chris
tiauity, to hammer man after he is down
that it is blessing for poor men to pay
interest on bonds, while the bonds the rich
hold are not taxable-that the negroes are
better off in rags, sickness and shallow
graves, than at contented labor-tbat it is
unchristian to resent insults, and that you
folks down South, especially you, Bill Arp,
80 called, are an ungrateful people, not to
admire the present state Of affairs in the
Union, 30 called.
Indignantly yours,

cause they had been held in the hand till

The Real Masonic Grip.

Major James Ganson, of LIE Roy, N. Y,
though small man, had the most powerful
grip of hand of any man 1 ever knew -
His hand was like smiths vice whenever
he chose to exert his strength.
1t was one night in the height of the an.
ti-Masonc excitement of lS06-7-8 that 8
silly "an.i," by the name of Smith, came
into LIE Roy and sought out the Major say
ing that he had heard that he, the Major,
could give the real Master Mason's grip,
and that be had come over eighty miles on
foot to obtain it. The meeting took place
in the bar-room of the village tavern where,
as usual, many persons we're congregated,
who, knowing the strength of the Majors
grip, were on the lookout for fun. Having
according to the custom of those days, first
taken drink, the Major extended bis right
hand and slightly gripped that of Smith.
"Are you ready" asked the Major.
"All ready" replied Smith.
The Major, steadily looking Smith in the
eye, began to tighten his grip. Smith grew
uneasy, and began to vince.
Tighter and tighter grew the Majors
grip, and Smith began to beg to be let off,
"Why, this is only the Entered Apprentice
grip" said the Major; 81 will now give
you the Fellow Craft" and the Major gave
his hand-vice several more turns, which
caused much groaning and many ludicrous
contortions on the part of Smith, who lusti
ly begged to be let of, said he was satisfied
and did not want any more grips. The
Major, however, was inexorsble, and still
held on to Smith all the time, shaking his
hand, and every shake causing groan
"Now," said the Majol, "baving come q
long way to get the real Master Mason's
grip, and one that you will notsoon forget"
at the same time exertipg to his utmost his
great muscular powers, causing the bones
of Smiths hand to crack, and the blood to
start from under his finger nails-Smith, in
the meanwhile, believing with pain. $50
home," said the Major, "and tell all your
anti. Masonic friends that if any of them
want the Master. Mason's grip to come to
me, for l flatter myself that l can give it as
we'll as any other man."
The Major gave one more turn of his
vice and then released his victim The
next day, Smith, With his hand done up in

painfully obtained-a wiser, if not better

Couldn'5 Gum Him,

When the telegraph was first put in
operation between Portland and Boston,
a countryman drove flock of turkeys to
the former place for a market, but not
finding so good a sale as he anticipated,
he inquired Of some bystanders their
price in Boston. Some wag of fellow
advised him to step into the telegraph Of
fee. Jonathan entered and put the all
important question to the operator, who
Immediately telegraphed to Boston, and
in few minutes received an answer to
his inquiry, and informed his customer.
Jonathan looked at the operator with a
sly wink, and exclaimed
"You can't gum it over me"
He was about leaving the Office, when
the operator told him that there were
nine shillings to pay. jonathan bristled
up and burst forth in rage
"You can't gum it over me. That
darned old tick-box of yourn hain't been
out of this room since I've been here"
The operator, finding that he had
caught greenhorn, let him off on the
easiest possible terms.
