A RIack Sunrise.

When tho old Virginia darky ex-
claimed, on witnessing an eclipse Of the
sun, "Thank God, the day ob Jubilee
am como We is gwine to hab a black
sun, he little thought that crelong
such lumihary would appear. A
negro named Charles Sunrise publish
es o challenge to the colored people Of
the city of Harrisburg" Penns ylvania
IN which he proposes to illumine the
benlghted Understandings OF that por-
tion Of tho colored world in regard to
very important matter. His torms
are reasonable, considering the magnI-
tude of his proposed undertaking.
Sunrise says: .t
81 propose ID meet any eolored gen
tleman and discuss the great question
whether the Bible is to be regarded as
the rule of our life, And l propose to
show from, the lible that no man ever
went TO heaven oryhell. / will also

AsOne great light is readyto disap.
pear another is prepared to take its
place. While that great Radical Iu-
minar5, Thad Stevens, approaches the
Western horizon, soon to set forever,
we have new sunrise bursting upon
the vision. The Harrisburg IntellIgen-
Ger hopes that, if no "colored gentle
man" can be found of sufficiently con-
servatlvo vIews to meet this dar ing
Radical, the Runip Congress may not
take advantage ofthe fact to "recon-
struct" Pennsylvania upon a no-heay.

The Brave Wife Of am IgnObIe
Husband. -

Some weeks ago Fred Douglas, the
famous niger, made a speech in West
Chester, Pennsylvania, to a mob of
blacks and others. Previous to this
arrival, Hon. John Hickman, mem.
ber elect to tho Assembly, invited the
sable orator to make him visit, and
consider his house a homo during his
stay, which invitation Fred. duly ac-
cepted. Hickman at once put his best
chamber in order and made extensive
preparations for his guests, in spite of
all that his wife could do or say. But
she bided her time, A woman, espec-
tally when she is in the right, Is new
or without her resources. So, whom
tho great Douglass was announced,
and, with. h at in hand, was
making his most elaborate bow,
she met HIM at the parlor door and
peremptorIally ordered him out oft
house. He did not "stand upon the
order OF his going, but went at ouce"
Long may Mrs, Hickman rule the mis-,
tress of her house; and, in the good
time coming, when women get their
"rlghts, may she be sent to the As
sembIy by the voters of West Chester
in the place of her unworthy husband.

from the head Of tho Army, or from
the Supreme Bench of the United
states, he will in either case have been
a citlsen Uf Ohio.
Accustomed as VIC have boon to o.meet-
ing them on their vantage ground iE
State contests, We think that justice
and good policy demand that we
should be allowed to encounter them
on the broader National field, upon
which we would enter with a knowl-
edge of our adversaries that would be
most useful and instructive.
II Is n3edless for us to enlarge upon
tho merits, or speak of the high quail
ficatlons Of that native.born son of
Ohio and iavorite statesman, George
III. Pend Teton, who is our choice for
President. His political history IS
well known to the country, and there
is no Democrat who will not respond
warmly 80 his praise or speak other
wise than favor ably of his personal
character and his political career.
Wherever men read and think-where.
evor they take any interest in politi-
cal affairs-his magnificent addresses
in tho cause of civil liberty and in tho
interest of the Tar payers, have been
listened to with delight, or perused
with pleasure, and thor author has
long since acquired an elevated place
among the eminent stu tesmen OF the
Union. His popularity extends far
beyond the Democratic organization,
and we do not hesitateto promise our
Democratic brethren of the United
States that, under his leadership, a
zeal aud energy, and enthusiasamwould
oe impaired to the contest in Ohio
and through all the West that would
be The certain precursor Of victory.
That he possesses in a larger degree
than any other man who has been
mentioned, the elements both OF avail
ability and fitness for the Office we
fully believe, and as possessing such
qualifications, we strongly urge his
selection upon our brethren, the Do
mocracy Of the United States.

The LONDON DIRECTORY.

One of the curiosities of London Is
its directory, tho sixty-ninth annual
number of which is just issued, The
New York Directory is pigmy by the
side of this imperial octave of 2,715
pages, and, / may add, that the New
York compilation is as inferior in the
variety and usefulness of its contents
as 1T is in size. The striking feature
of this is its street directory, wherein
is recorded the name of every street in
London, and tho name OF the occupant
OF each house, arranged in numerical
order. The Intersections ofstroeis arc
also given; and lfyou know neither the
name OF the person you want 10 find
nor the number of his house, you
may discover him by the name Of the
street alone. The convenience Is very
great one, and this lis: of itself occu-
pies 500 pages of cl $50 type. The
COmmercial Section, which gives
names of all persons iu business, fills
over 700 pages; tho Court Directory,
embracing oil names not in the Com.
mercial, 200 pages. The Trades Di-
rectory IN 500 pages collects the names
Of all persons in business, arranged
under their respective trades or profes.
sions-all the butchers, the bak ers, the
candlestick-makers, by themselves. -
There are, beside, Official, Law, Par
liamentary, Postal, City. Clerical, Con
veyance and Banking Directories, each
complete in itself, and putting its IN
formation into shape of such COM
pactness. so easy of reference, and sc
exact, as to be aboye all praise. Some
body has taken the trouble to calculate
100000 words-as many as twenty
closely printed octave volumes. Not
the least wonderful thing about il is
its cheapness. the price being thirty

shopping for Fun. A..

"The Diary OF Millinor, q book
soon to be published, contains the fol-
lowing, which everybody will soc is
drawn entirely from the fancy:
She deliberately took Of her own
bonnet and commenced trying those
that were on the saloon table. One
after one she took them up; and put
them on her head, till she had seen
about thirty casting their differently
combined tints over her complexion.
She invited my comments and sugges-
tions upon each one. She viewed her.
self in each of tho mirrors of the
saloon, and in all the various lights
sh could command, and placed her
self in every conceivable at titude be-
fore them.
One thing or another was tho fault
in every one of them. She had ask
ed the price of all, and cheapenod each
to tho lowest possible fraction for
which they could be bought.
She then went TO the side-table, and
performed the same operation upon
herself with fifteen or twenty more.
There were none that exactly suited.
Haven't you put some away in
drawers?" she asked. l went the
same rounds with dozen drawers
containing ak or eight apiece. When
those wero exhausted she pointed to
the window, and asked me ifI would
be kind enough to bring her two
handsome bonnets that were hanging
their. eIEs.r
Something of the inner life, proba-
bly, it was that attribute of tho dual
dcnominatcd penetration, admonished
me that she didn't 'yish to purchase a
bonnet but was seeking an afternoon q
entertainments at our expense. An
other something-whether it was u
spirit tapping, or q tapping at the IL
er door, know not--admonished me
That there arc Zines when, to practice
tho forbcaring policy of the romarka-
bic patriarch, of whom l have been
speaking, is to cast pearls before
swine. Instead Of starting for the do
sired bonnets, l looked her sternly
IN the eye while modulated my voice
toa very respectful tone, and re-
piled:
off you really wish to buy bon
net, i will go down and get thom; but
l fear they will suit you no better
than the others have done"
She saw that her role was played TO
tho end, and successful actress che
had proved herself. She had confined
her audience in the closet attention for
about two hours. The other two bon
nets We're beyond her reach. With
tho most lninitable GOODNESS and un-
concern she looked me back, and re-
piled; II don't wish tv buy bonnet.

[From the New York Trlbuno.[ [

| lrrom the new YORK Tribuno.l
When we ventured, very recently
to point out the disastrous effect OF
"Ovcr-T work and Under-rest" upon
the health and lives of public men and
men OF lOtters, we did not anticipate
that so soon We should have a fresh
illustration Of the truth of our remarks
and of the Importance of the subject.
Chief Justice Blgelowr of Massachu
setts, in a letter to tho bar upon the
occasion Of retiring from office, which
he held by thelife tenure. says; "Af-
ter twenty years of judicial life, SOW
enteen of which have been passed up.
on the bench of the Supreme Judicial
Court, find that radical change, by
which can obtain permanent reIaxa-
tion from constant and arduous labor,

ished by my physicians that can not
look forward with any degree of GER
iainty TO a condition of health ade-
quato to the discharge of my official
duties, I'll continue to undergo the
confinement and incessant mental ef-
fort which are essential to their due
performance"
This is only repetitioa of the old
old story. When We get hold of q
really good public man, we work him
to death, treating him as no consider
ate farmer would treat his day labor
crs, and, IN fact, as no intelligent
horse .fancier would treat his favorite
trotters. Judge Bigelow resigns at "a
period ofliie when no should be in the
full maturity his health and strength.
He went TO the bench fresh, young and

tionhad been impaired by the great
practice at the bar; he is used up

WILL find 1t difficult to supply Judge
Bigelow's place. 1t would have been
far better to tighten his work, and to
keep HIM foI life; but that would have
been quite contrary to our American
system, which prosupposes that every

announcing their intention to vote tor

wOulen't Take Twenty Dollars

Some waggish students of Yale Col.
lege fow years since, wero regaling
themselves one evening at the "Ton.
tine" when an old farmer from the
country entered tho room, taking II
for the bar room, and inquired if he
could Obtain lodging there. The young
chaps immediately answered IN the af-
firmative, inviting him to take glass
ofpunch.
The old fellow, who was shrewd
Yankee, saw Mt once that he was to be
the butt OF their jcsts, out quietly tax

who was not worth his weight in Jer--

"Twcnty dollars !? why he is not

"Well, l assure you, would not take
twenty dollars for HIM. -r- .#N ~

who, with his compaions, was bent on
having some capital fun with the old
man. "Now, you say that you will

I'm not take it." replied the far
mer. lE
"You will notl Here let me sec il
this won't tempt you to tell lie," add

of half dollars, from which he counted
small piles on. the table, where the
farmer sat. with his hat in his hand
apparently unconcerned.
There added the student, qtherC
are twenty dollars, all in silver, I will
give yoL that for your dog"
The old farmer quietly raised the
hat to the edge Of the table, and then
as quick as thought, scraped all the
money into it, Oxclalming, ~ won't
take your twenty dollors. Nineteen

worth; he isyour property"
A tremendous laugh from his fel
low students showed the would-bo wag
that he was completely "gone ny,
