THE NEW FAN.

WHILE travelling in Western Virinia,
happening one day to be in a dry goods
store situated in a small village, an old
lady from the country came in. She pur-
chased several articles from the clerk,
and at length observing a neatly painted
and vanished bellows hanging by a post
she inquired what it was. The clerk
perceiving that the old lady was rather
ignorant, and being somewhat of a wag,
informed her that it was new fan he
had lately received from the east, at the
same time taking the bellows down and
putting with it in his face, telling her
that was the mode of operation. The
old lady repeated the operation on her
self, and was so delighted with the new
fan that she purchased it forthwith and
departed.
On the next day our informant the
minister, had an appointment to preach
at a chool house in the neighboring cOUn-
ty. The congregation being assembled,
while the minister was in the act of
reading the hymn, who should pop in
Dub llC Ulu WOLltu W I'll 1ACl uCM 4dSL4Ou-
ed fan, and having taken her seat she
Immediately commenced putting away in
good earnest. The congregation knew
not what to make of it, some smiled, and
some looked astonished, but the lu-
dicrous prevailed over everything else,
and to such an extent that the minister
was obliged to stop reading and to hand
the book to his brother in the desk. At
ter the usual preliminary services, he
rose to preach, but there sat conspicu-
ously the old lady, with the bellows in
front, hand hold of each handle, the
nose turned up towards her face, and
with much self-complacency putting the
gentle breeze into her face. What to
do, or how to proceed he knew not, for
he could not cast his eyes over the con-
gregation without meeting the old lady.
At length summOning resolution, and
trying to feel the solemnity of the duty
imposed upon him, he proceeded. He
finished his discourse, but it cost him
more effort than any before or since.

to promote and help the execution of the

whose highest tribunals had adjudged
that bill to be unconstitutional, and that

reduce you to slavery. Your great an

honest Democrats stand, and from which
you will not shrink in the day of trial,

IIEROISM.

AGREATinundation having taken place
in the north of Italy, owing to an exces-
sive fall of snow in the Alps, followed by
a speedy thaw, the river Adige carried
off a bridge near Vienna, except the
middle part, on which was the house Of
the toll-gatherer or porter, and who, with
his whole family, thus remained impris-
oned by the waves, and in momentary
danger of destruction. They were dis
covered from the banks stretching forth
their hands, screaming and imploring
succor, while the fragments of this re-
naming arch were continually dropping
into the water. In this extreme danger,
a nobleman, who was present, a Count
Pulverini, I think, held out a purse Of
one hundred sequins as a reward to any
adventurer who would take a boat and
deliver this unhappy family. But the
risk was so great of being borne down
by the rapidity of the stream, Of being
dashed against the fragmentof the bridge,
or of being crushed by the falling stones,
that not one in the vast number of spec
tators had courage enough to attempt
such an exploit. A peasant passing
along was informed of the proposed re-
ward. Immediately jumping into boat,
he, by strength Of oars, gained the mid
die Of the river, brought the boat under
the pile, and the whole family safely de-
scended by means Of rope. Courage !"
cried he, now you are safe" By a
still more strenuous effort, aad great
strength of arm, he brought the boat and
family to shore. Brave fellow !" ex-
claimed the count, handing the purse to
him, there IS the promisedr recompense.
81 shall never expose my life for money"
answered the peasant. " Ny labor is a
sufficient livelihood for myself, my wife
and children. Give the purse to this
poor family which has lost all"

NEGRO EQUALITY IN THE Schools
The Radical doctrine of negro equality

so far in the ascendency as not to fear
the sober second thought of the people.
Only let them succeed in striking the
word "White" from Ohio's old fashion

State Government mongrel affair, and
negro equality will everywhere be ezhib-
tied in all its hideous defOrmity, despite
the finer feelings and wishes Of portion
of the white people. We arc reliably

Cufee repeated bis question, +" Boss, yer

made no reply, but only leaned a little
forward, at the same time resting his
hands on the counter snd looked at him
as intently as before. Cufee became .
little frustrated, and after a moments
pause, continued, 81 say, Boss, have yer

lifted his own beaver from his head and
quietly laid it on the counter, HhefeupoR
Cuffee remarked, al can do dat as we'll

words deposited his own tile on the

he could find them in the saloon below,
and thereupon Cufee re-adjusted his
beaver with a flourish and walked out.

THE FLAG DEMOCRATS RALLY
UNDER.

The Journal, referring to the Banner
offered as a prize by the Democratic
State Executive Committee to that coun-
ty giving the largest increased vote over
that of last year says:
By the way, we should like to ask the
Committee what kind Of flag they pro-
pose to distribute? Stars and bars, OF
stars and stripes-or one of each?
The Flag the Democrats rally under,
is the National Banner, not star dim
med or a star erased-not the Sixteen
starred thing that the present Republi-
can party carried in the contest of 1856,
nor that which they now claim as the
country's ensign, with ten stars blotted
from the National galaxy. In a word,
it is the Flag, which Greeley's Tribune
called Haunting lie,, and asked that
it be half masted, as sign of national
death.

A QUEER WEDDING.-The Hartford

young lawyer from Providence, who
spent his vacation in the neighborhood.
The day for the marriage was fixed and
all the arrangements made, but at the
appointed hour the bridegroom came out.
He had gone from the town in an early
train. The bride was disconsOlate, the
friends outraged. Worse than all, the
dinner was getting spoiled by waiting.
Seeing this state Of affairs, one Of the in
vited guests, a middle-aged farmer, who
had been a secret admirerof Mrs. Barns
ley, and whom she had encouraged be-
fore the lawyers advent, stepped up, Of
fered to take the groom's place, and was
accepted. They we're married, ate their
dinner, and promised to make happy
couple.

WHO ARE THE REPUDIATORs? ?-The
Negro Suffrage press of the State charge
the Democracy, because they wish topay
off the National debt in legal tender notes,
in order to lessen the taxes of the people,
in the same money in which the debt was
contracted, with being in favor of repu-
diation.
The party whose press charge these
falsehoods are the only repudiators the
State has ever known.
They repudiated the debt due the in
digent soldiers, and the widows and or
pEans Of those who fell in defense of the
nation, by flching 100000 from the
amount set apart by taxation for their
support, thus leaving them to starve or
to hide their misery in the poor house.
They repudiated the solemn obligation
of the State to pay the interest on the
debt due to foreigners in gold, by order
ing it to be paid in greenbacks, when
greenbacks were worth only about one
third of the amount called for on their
face.
The 7:3O Government bonds were
bought with greenbacks-were cove
nanted to be paid in greonbacks, and in
greenbacks, the only legal tender ourren-
cy of the country, they will be paid, and
he who dare say that to do so is repudia-
ton, either expressed or implied, is a
knave who knows better, or fool that
ought to be sent to an idiotio asylum.
