"A Coop .CUsroMER.--A few days since,
dignifed person, with the bearing and
general appearance ola country merchant,
stepped into wholesale store i'll the city
of II orwich, Connecticut, and in bland
tone and insinuating manner, inquired OF
the proprietor if he sold gin by the barrel
at what price, and if it was good article.
He s:would like to see sample"
Proprietor drew a large sized tumbler
nearly full. Country merchant tasted.
.eAh!'' said he, as he smacked his lips
18th just suspicion of light, "that's good
gin. What can you let me have barrel
OF that for?"
Proprietor named the price.
ssRemarable good gin," said he, taking
another SIP. sThat reminds me of some
gin I bought in 1885, and he went on
With a long story about that particular
gin, stopping occasionally to try the sam
pple, p until it was all gone but swallow
The story finished, he tossed ofthe balance
of it, and, remarking that he liked the gin,
and would come in and leave his order af-
ter making a few purchases elsewhere, left
the store.
An hour afterwards, while the proprie-
tor was waiting upon some customers, the
gin-buyer returned, and this time tackled
one the clerks with:
s[ have got to buy some gin to-day, and
if you have got y first-ratc article l should
like to see sample of it"
Another large sized tumbler full was
forthcoming, and the old fellow tasted Of
it. Then be smacked his lips, inquired the
price, and took another sip. Then he re,
marked that it was very cold weather and
took good swallow. Then he commenced
on the gin, and INDUCED in a few refec-
tions upon how much more gin cost now
chan it did in 1888. He kept on talking
and he kept ON drinking, and the clerk kept
on waiting to consummate the trade lie
was such dignitied man, and was SO evi-
dently good Judge of, as we'll as large
dealer in gin, that the clerk was not dis
posed to hurry Him. But as he was taking
down the last swallow, the proprietor
came round. The suspicion dawned upon
him that the country merchant was a bet
ter dlmker than buyer. Stepping up to
him, lie thundered out:
sJlook here, sir, do you want to buy any
The old fellows dignity melted in an
instant. Putting his hand in his overcoat
he dyew out . pint bottle, and in the meek
est and nildeAt voice imaginable replied
eyes, a half pint in this bottle"

Southern White Representation
in CONGRESS-.

The New York World lately developed
plan for ousting the negro clement from
the Forty Congress and securing a
white Representation from the South in
that body. Its project was characterized
by some of the Radical papers as reyoiu-
.tionary, and the World retorts upon them
in the following clear and convincing
manner, saying:
-seWe assumed that Immediately on the
electiop of a Democratic President and
House of Representatives, The Southern
whites would re-organize their State gov
ernments, oust the negroes, hold now
elections, and send members 10 Congress.
The point at issue is, whether the recog-
milton of such governments by the admis-
sion of the new members would be "revo-
lutionary." tits point easily decided.
The Republican party has educated the
people to believe that Congress has the
most absolute discretion in deciding what
is, and what is not, a valid State govern
ment. The Thirty-ninth Congress excr-
cised such discretion in upsetting the
governments OF ten States and the i'm
putation. to which we are replying as
sumes that the Fortieth Congress will ex-
ercise an equally broad discretion by re-
cognizing State governments built upon a
negro basis Nobody can dispute that
the Forty:frst Congress will possess all
the powers which belonged to its prede
cessors; and among others that of deci-
ding what is the legitimate local govern
ment in any State 1t hence follows that
the next. Congress will be just as free to
recognize new negro governments in the
Southern States. The Times and Tribune
must admit this, or see that their charge
of revolutionary proceedings can be re-
i torted.
By the constitution, majority of each
House is q quorum; a majority OF the
Senate, therefore, possesses authority to
organize and act as that body Our sug-
eestion was, thatwhe the Northern Con-
serrative Senators and Southern Senator'S
are majority, the Senate will have pass,
cd out of the control of the Republicans.
The idea that the Republican minority
will set. themselves up for the Senate is
preposterous What would they gain BY
it? Being minority, they could merely
adjourn from day to day, but could trans
! act no business. Wnen GNe douso eii'tl
have admitted the Southern Representa-
tives and the Republicans have dwindled
to minority in the Senate, there is no
danger that this helpless minority will
stand ont and attempt to resist the course
of events. If the Democrats elect the next
President and majority of the House
the bastard negro governments may be
(. Quietly displaced without q resort to any
revolutionary proceedings, or to any meas
tres for which ssthe Republican party has
not set precedents.
The late elections having demonstrated
that the country will not sustain univer
z sal negro, suffrage, the Republicans cannot
expect TO carry the Presidential election
on that issue.

-Wehave just enough religion to make
us hate, but not enough to make us love
one another.
The Boston Post says with savage
sadness: Temperance is no special virtue
where there's nothing to imbibe."
"A sweet young lady says that males
are of no account from. the time the ladies
stop kissing them as infants till they COM
mence kissing them as lovers.
Man is composed of two yards anda
half of broadclotb, shirt collar, and
more or less assurance; woman of dry
goods, an impression that she is perfec-
tion, and faculty of spending money.
= If you are lover, don't love two
girls at once Love is good thing, but

"A man up town has sold his piano,
in consequence of the hard times. lie is
now learning his daughters to perform on
the washboard. The music is not quite
so pleasant, but much more to the pur-
pose.
= There's our grandmother, says a
contemporary, a striking instance why
woman should vote, She's paid taxes on
dog for the last ten years, and now de-
clares she won't stand it any longer
she'll either vote or kill the dog!
= Memory carries with it through life
some tender word that links it to the past.
The voice of affection, speaking words of
love- of hope, of advice, follows all hearts
through sunshine and darkness, though
the lips that uttered it are closed forever
more.
An editor thus logically nudges his
delinquent subscribers: aWe don't want
money desperately bad, but our creditors
do, and no doubt they owe you If you
pay us, we'll pay them, and they'll pay
you"
