A New CANDIDATE,-The New York Church
Union strongly urges Fred, Douglass as the Re-
publican candidate for the Presidency next fall.
Its reason for urging Fred. is that he ca he more
easily and more certainly elected than any other
man who has yet been named by the Republican
party. The CAu,eh Union says 'tbat the white
man cannot be trusted in this emergency" and
declares that Fred. would not only DO certain Of
receiving the entire negro vote of the Southern
States, but that he would carry the whole of the
New England States except Connecticut, and
enough of the Northwestern States, to secure his
election beyond peradventure.
The Church Union is perhaps right in some
of its calculations, at least in regarding the negro
vote rs being about tine strength of the Republic
can candidate in the Southern States in 1868
but we certainly cannot agree with it that
Fred. stands a better chance for the Presidency
than any other Republican, for we cannot sup.
pose that the people of this country have sunk so
low as to be willing to place negro in the seat
once occupied by Washington.

The Yankee Peddler.

THERE is a sheriff residing in H.
linols, who was "taken in and done
for" on one occasion. He made it
a prominent part of his business to
ferret out and punish peddlers for
travelling through the State with
out license; but one morning he
met his match in the person of a
genuine Yankee peddler.
"What have you got to sell-any-
thing?" asked the sheriff.
"Yaas, sartin; what dye want?-
Got razors, tust, that's an article
you need, squire, l should say by
the looks of your baird. Got good

fore the woman could say q word
and kissed her red lips.
"Slap" same her hand in his face
and she clutched his hair. The new
husband jumpted in to take the wo-
man away and to protect her, as
woman supposed, when in selfpre
servatiop the Justice gave him a
rap on the nose. The woman pitch
ed into the new husband, who in
turn pitched into her, and for about
five minutes there was a general
bustling and display oflegs, garters,
and things decidedly astonishing.
At last the parties were separa-
ted, when the man and woman took
another turn at each other, the
blood and hair flying in all direc-
tions. Down came the stove, over
went the table, clatter went the
chairs, and into the street like mad
went the Justice, with a black eye
and the bosom of his shirt looking
like a warranty deed covered with
red seals!
A crowd rushed up stars and
found the man and woman lying on
the floor, hugging each other like
young bruins, their arms and legs
mixed up worse than tomato-vines,
the woman on top, and pommeling
her newlymade husband with a
hearty will.
The newly married couple were
separated, when through the aid of
two interpreters it was discovered
that the night before, the parties,
occupying adjoining shanties in the
lower part of the town, had got into
a dispute over some stove-pipe,
which was claimed by both, and
from words they had come to blows.
Each party had fastened to the
Justices office in the morning for a
warrant for the other, with the
result as stated above.
The last news from there was that
The parties had gone in search OF
another Justice to unnarry them,
while the genial cause of their ter
rible squabble was "setting up the
boys" and bathing his bunged eye
in camphor and whisky. For an
actual fact, it is the richest within
our knowledge.

"IIis Head is Level"

While passing a stable yard yes
terday, in the upper part of the
city, our attention was attracted
tor few moments to two old color
ed men who were trying to hitch q
mule to a little wagon. The mule
was very obstreperous--he had his
dander up about something, and
he pat in a serious protest against
the whole proceeding. He reared
and pitched, and threw his hind
feet about remarkably active, dam
aging the wagon and several times
threatening to knock off the heads
of the two darkies, who were lam
ming away at his muleship with q
long pole. The two negroes labor
ed hard, burt without avail. Tie
apimal had not been worked for
some time, and he felt his oats, and
was not to be trifled with. After
three or four Intellectual attempts
were made to get the mule between
the shafts, the colored gentleman
with the hoop-pole had his passions
aroused, and commenced larruping
the animal in good earnest.-The
mule accepted the issue made, up
set the colored gentleman who was
tickling him with the hoop, and,
taking French leave, his muleship
dashed down the street IN great
glee over what he had accomplish
ed.
The old darkey who got knocked
down, with the aid of his comrade,
slowly got to his feet again. He
gave glance at the retieating
mule, and slowly shaking his head,
he remarked, "Pete, dat ar mule is
like some niggers. You let 'em hab
liberty for a leetle time, and dey
won't do nuffin-but try to vote.
I bet dat mule is gwine down to de
place whar dey register now." We
didn't wait to hear anything more,
but concluded that, that old dark
ey's head was level.-HansbaI

The world may rail at Masonry,
And scoff the square and line:
We'll follow with complacency

And though our sisters frOwn, and
Though we're by our mothers chidcd,
Could they our works and hearts but know
We would not be derided. =
And though the kings Of unite
Our temple to assail,
While armed with truth, and love, and ligh
Ger them we shall prevail.
A cloud may veil the face Of day,
But nature smiles at one
That should adventur0==hold essay!
To quench the glorious sun.
A king may make gartered knight,
And breathe away another,
But he, with all his skill and might,
Can never make brother,
This power alone, thou Mystic Art,
FreemasOnry, is thine!

With brOtherly love divine.

good for the ha'r and assisten poor
human natur, as the poet says"
And so he ratified on. At length
the sheriff bought a bottle of the
balm of Columbia, and in reply to
the question whether he wanted
anything else, that functionary
said he did-he wanted to see the
Yankees license for peddling in
Illinois, that being his duty as sher-
iff.
The Yank showed him a docu-
ment fixed up good and strong, i'll
black and white. The sheriff look
ed at it and pronounced it all right.
Then handing back the bottle to
the peddler, he said:
81 don't think, now that | bought
this stuff, shall ever want it. |
reckon might as we'll sell it back
to you. What will you give for it3"
20, tie darn stuff is no use to
me, but seein' it's you, sheriff, Pll
give you twenty-five cents for it, if
you really don't want it."
The sheriff handed over the bet
tie at the large discount from his
own purchase, and received his
change.
"Now," said the peddler, 'l've
got question to ask you. Have
you got any peddler's license about
your trowsers anywhere"
"No; l haven't any use for the
article, myself" replied the sheriff
"Haln't, eh? Wal, guess We'll
see about that, pooty darn soon. II
l understand the law, it's a clear
case that you've been tradin' with
me-hawkin', and peddiin' balm oi
Columby on the highway-Pll in.
form on you-darn'difI don't nowP
The Yankee was as good as his
word. When he reached the next
village he made his complaint, and
the sheriff was fined eight dollars
for selling without license.
He was heard afterwards to say
that "you might as well try TO hold
a creased eel asa live Yankee"
