with the will of God, and you make cross

Famous Racers.


THE barley Arabian, sire OF Childers
was brought to England in the reign O.
Queen Anne, and the Godolphin Arab
ian in 1924. The latter animal was frst
imported into France from Barbary, a
present, it is supposed, from the Emper.
or of Morocco to Louis XIV; but SO
little was he valued in Paris that he was
actually employed in draught. Every
superior English racer partakes of his
valuable blood He died at Hog Mogog,
in the 29th year of his age, and is buri-

his stable, With fiat stone without any

GENTLEMEN Nothing would have
given me q heartier satisfaction than an
opportunity to meet the Democracy Of
/ Cincinnati, Covington and Newport, such
as your kind invitation offers, had it
| been IN my power to leave home at the
time and especially at time when
there is SO much to rejoice for and so
much to prepare for.
For in our congratulations upon the
past let US not forget our obligations to
/ the future. 1t is true that the nefaTiOus
attempt to deprive the Chief Magistrate
of the nation, by the revolutionary VIC
lence of hostile faction, has been
thvartcd by the angry growl Of the
awakening people; but the yet more
dangerous, If more distant plot, against
the very citadel of Democratic prin-
ciple, the right of self-government,
which is embodied in the Congressional
plan of reconstruction, may yet succeed.
The scheme Of introducing ten States
to this Union which have been so man
ipulated in the interest ef the ruling
party that class, inferior in number
and descent, destitute of property or ed
ucation, brutalized by ages Of barbarism
and degraded by centuries Of slavery,
shall, by organic laws, be fastened upon
the neck of the superior, able and more
numerous race, is so at variance with
every theory Of democratic government,
so obnoxious to every statesmanlike con-
ception, and SO repugnant to all the ma
tional impulses Of our people, that 1t
must be stopped betimes if We would not
inaugurate an era Of revolutions.
Bad in itself, it becomes tenfold more
dangerous to constitutional government
when imposed by a party for the pur-
pose of perpetuating its power, and IS
defended on the insOleGt assumption that
its supporters monopolize the virtue and
the intelligence of the nation, and its
opponents are too ignorant, too wicked
and too " disloyaI" to be trusted.
This dangerous heresy has been re-
buked, but it must be crushed, and then
we may hope for a return Of peace, and
anew era or calm, constitutional gov
-erument.

Butler and the Yellow Fever.


PROFESSOR LEJA, distinguished
optician of New Orleans, visited Corinth
a few weeks since, stopped at the Scruggs
House. One day, while sitting at the
table conversation turned upon the yell
low fever, with the various phases of
which the professor was quite familiar,
and. among other things, the course
of Gen. Sheridan, in neglecting, while
controlling the affairs of the Gulf De-
partment, to take the usual precaution
to ward Off or at least, prepare the city
for the visit of Bronze John, was severe
ly condemned. In this connection, Col.
johnson remarked
You must confess, Professor, that
Notwithstanding his many faults, Gen.
Butler exhibited great administrative
ability, in the conception and proseou-
tion of measures to save New Orleans
from the dreadful pestilence IN command
there ?"
Up jumped the optioian, his face
pale with ill-suppres8ed wrath, his eyes
darting fire:
" By gar, vot you take me vOr? You
no believe in God? You no believe zere
is mercie? Yellow fever and G-e-n-e-r
al Butler at ze same time !''
And the chOleric Creole walked off
almost foaming at the mouth, with fists
cIenched, mutteriDg between his teeth
" Y-loW fe-vor; he cannot believe zere
is re God who mas mercie."

Singular Sympathy Of a Dog.

AT the receut Agricultural Fair held
at Egg Harbor City, N. j., there was a
very curious exempli6cation of the al
fection of a young dog of the spaniel
species. It seems that on the farm of
Mr.. L. BUllinger an old hen, shortly
after Matching only a number Of bantam
and guinea chickens, died, leaving the
young brood without maternal care and
likely to perish. A puppy dog, also
belonging to Mr.. Bullingsr, was lying
asleep not far distant from the tender
little chickens, and one after antoher
they nestled around him, and by the
warmth of his body we're kept alive. It
seemed as the canine rather liked
the company, and knew the wants of the
motherless chickens, He cUrled himself
up so as to afford them protection, and
from that time be never fOrsook them
He watched over them by day, scratch
ed the sand and gravel for the little ones
until they became big enough to relieve
his from his self-imposed duty. The dog
and the chickens we're exhibited in
cage at lhe Fair, where thousands of
visitors saw them. The chickens were
now about half-grown, and it was anus
ing to watch their movements, and it
was also interesting to observe the care
evidently manifested by their guardian
for them. Mr.. Bullinger says that the
dog watched over the brood by day, and
slept with them in their roost at night,
and had never been known to desert
them from the time they first nestled un-
der him for protection.

Hadn't We Better Touch Her Of.

THE Marietta Times tells the follow
ing capital joke:
The best joke of the season is told
of certain Doctor, Of Vincent Station,
who, on the evening of the election, hav-
ing come to the telegraph Office at Vim
cent, with number ofothers, to hear
the latest election news from the State
and county, heard favorable news from
some place in the county, Git must have
been from the negro cote in Harmar }
Whereupon the Doctor ordered the boys
to load the cannon. Going back into
the telegraph Office, and hearing further
news favorable to the Radicals, the Doc
tor returned to the platform and told
the boys to load her to tie Huzzle? Re
turning again to the telegraph office, the
news of heavy Democratic gains was re-
ceived. The Doctor drew his hat down
over his eyes. Still more Democratic
gains, and down goes the hat little fur
ther. Then, to cap the climax, the dis
patch comes that 80 The Legislature is
Democratic and the State ticket doubt
full" The Doctor, with an oath, sprang
to his feet, hurried from the Office, and
had got about half way cross the street
when an old gray headed veteran in the
Democratic ranks, Whe speaks very slow,
called out H-O-l-d-on, Doctor: /:
hadn't l1-e better touch her
Off" The Doctor mounted his horse
and disappeared in the darkness.
