A RENT SroRr.-Once in the Latin

Among others an ingenious method for
avoiding payment of rent that would do
honor to Dick Swindler. The explains

The Chelalier BAYARD fell in the battle
near Rebec, in 1924. The moment he was
struck he pronounced himself dead man,
kissed the guard Of his sword, which had
the figure of a cross, and recommended
himself to God in prayer. He then or
dered them to lay him under tree with
his face toward the enemy, and to support
his head by placing stone under it, which
he saw lying upon the ground. Having

Captain Bayard, how sorry am to see
you thus. have always loved and hon

now sincerely pity your misfortune"
" Sir said Bayard, 81 thank you, but
there is no reason why you should pity
me, who die like an honest man, in the
service of my King, though there is great
reason to pity you, who are carrying arms
against your Prince. your country, and

PETER BAYLE died asking if his fire
was lighted. BLACK, the great chemist,
died SO TRANQUILITY that he did not even
spill the contents of the spoon which he
held in his hand. BENTLEY, the classic
scholar and divine, died SO peacefully that
his children, who were playing around the
sofa on which he lay, perceived only that

in his study, with his head reclining on a
book, as it was wont to do when he was
reading or studying. SIR CHARLES
BULGDEN, while at social meal with his
friends, died in his chair so gently that not

PEeasamf Thoughts for W'hite
Men.

II must be agreeable for the white
folks of Pennsylvania, to think that
experience has taught them that they
arc incapabloof governing themselves,
and that unless they call in the aid OF
The negroes everything will 60 to
ruin. How pleasant to think that
we have been running down hill for
eighty years, so fast that we have
cot below the level Of the negro race,
and now we must turn TO them and
plead for mercy, instruction and help
II is possible, however, that many
will not readily yield this point, but
will, on the contrary, insist that IT is
only the rank Republicans who thus
extol the virtues of the negro or
rather, who begin to feel the necessity
Of calling in his talents to aid in pro
peling the machine, which in their
hands, is becoming so rickety; they
themselves being discouraged, and
beginning to distrust their own abili-
ties. have determined TO bring in all
the necessary waterfall aid in order to
gain strength enough to run tho ma
chine still, and smash it all to pieces
rather than surrender it to white men
In either event, it must be comfort
ing to the people to know to whom
they havo surrendered their rights
and liberties, the making of all laws
and the direction Of all the interests
Of the State.
If these things comfort you, at onct
acknowledge your weakness, your in
feriority, your incapacity, your retro
gression, your degradation, and ther
call in the negro to give the casting
cote, to enlighten you in all politica
wisdom, to correct your past errors
to exalt your capacity and TO MAKE
you once more a progressive people
Blessed consolation to reflect that WI
whites have not descended in th'

Another STATE IN LIEE.-Mary-

for The Union. Notwithstanding the
fact that the '1ate lamented" Lincoln
had 5000 majority in 1864, the Dem
ocrats carried the State last week by
over 10000 majority. This is even a
greater revolution than that of Cali

DIsGRAcEFUL-We notice by our
exchanges that the proceedings at
the dedication of Antietam Cemetery,
on the 18th instant, were OF a dis
graceful character, the programme
being broken up by John w. Geary
and lot of his bummers. This spe-
cimen of egotism and vanity could not
keep quiet, but had to get up and
make speech. The hero Of Snick-
ersville is just the man to disturb a
graveyard He certainly had whis-
key on this occasion.

GREATLY lMrRovED.-A convention
ofmongrols was held in Wilmington,
Delaware, few days ago 1t was
composed of about "half and half"
negroes and whites. In commenting
upon its appearance the Delaware
Tribune says, IL was "an assemblage
remarkable for its dignity respccta-
bility, and earnestness" The general
impression is, and we have no doubt
Of its correctness, that the Republican
party will be greatly improved in re.

duction Of Sambo and Dinah into its

at the same time DISTINGUISHING all

that has been enacted in all history.

The Rule OF PRoPoRTIoN.-If the
Democrats Of Maine, in total vote
of 100000 gain 10000 in one year, in
the same proportion Pennsylvania,
with total vote of 100000 would
gain six times fifteen thousand, which
is 10000. Last year the Radical ma
iority in this State was l7,l7S. This
would give us Democratic majority
in Pennsylvania of about $4,000 at
our election in October If we gain
at the rate we did in California, our
majority will be over 100000. Even
at the rate we gained in Connecticut,
Kentucky, Rhode Island, Montana
Vermont, New Hampshire, or wher-
ever an election has been held this
year, give US Pennsylvania by an
Overwhelming majority. The same
Influences are at work in this State

knee deep-yes, from his loins to his

one poor starving prophet came to
him, when he says to him: "kh art
thou he that trouble the Israel Z" This
man had carried devastation and rev.
olution through the land, and destroy
ed It's faithful prophets, and the mo-
ment he comes in sight of a surviving
one, he says, "Ah, you are troubling
Israel !" 1t is the same game over
and over. For the nature of despot-
ism is the same everywhere, in every
