paying for them is a serious tax upon
the office. An occasional favor of
this kind might be bestowed without
being felt. III some cases tits slight
but sincere expression Of courtesy or
good will, which is not at all inap,
propriate, and would not be at all
grudged, Butwhen it comes to the
giving away Of fifty, a hundred, or a
hundred and fifty papers a day, 1t Is
more serious affair, One hundred
papers are worth ten dollars, and ten
dollars, a day amounts to between
three and four thousand d year.
There are some singular mistakes
prevailing op this point. Very few
persons would walk up to the butchS
er's stall and ask for a pound Of beet
as a gratuity-unless under the dis
tiuci plea of poverty. Men do not
expectto get d loaf of bread, a spool
Of cotton, apaper Of tacks, or even
"a jewsharp, from the dealers in those
articles, without paying for them,
merely on the ground Of being friends
Of the establishment. We do not
understand what better claim can be
AdvanCedlin behalf Of the propriety
Of picking up a newspaper from the
counter where it is offered for sale.
Moreover, if a man permits dog
to run away with his leg Of mutton,
after it is bought be drops his new
etat into the gutter before IT, is worn
If a thief seizes and runs off with
his new shoes as he is taking them.
bomc-he does net expect the butch-
er, the tailor, or shoemaker to make
good the loss. Why, then, should a
subscriber, whose paper is t2ken from
the dsor step-where he has ordered
itleft-or who forgets to bring il
down town with him when he comes
from home expect, as a matter Of
course, his earelessness or misfortune
to be paid for by tho publishers Of
his papor2 We do not exactly com

A story from Paris.

A Paris letter tells the following
story of Twelfth Night fete in that
city:
A wealthy family in the aristo.
cratic boulevard Malvsherbes, we're
amusing themselves IN seeking the
Kings portion, or the ring in the
festival cake, when a lady Of the
company says to the hostess: al
wish my portionto be given to the
poorest little boy we can find in the
street" The servant was dispatched
on this freezing errand, and not far
from the house be found ragged
urchin, trembling with cold and hun
ger He brought him up, as ordered,
into the gay saloon, where thousand
lights gittered, snd sparkling fire
gladdened the eyes Of the poor little
fellow. Dumbfounded and surprised,
he drew the portion which the benevo-
lent lady had promised, and, as luck
would have it, the little fellow found
the ring, Oceans they use in Paris ih-
steady, and of course he vas q King.
They all shouted out that being a
king he must choose queen. He
was asked so to do, and looking round
the company he chose the very lady
| who had proposed to cede her portion
of the cake. He was asked why he
chose her2 He said II don t know;sht
| looks the most like mother" "Moth,
erl whose mother.?" !" My mother
| never knew her, but was stoler
away from her, and here is her por-
trait. T" With this he drew from out
his ragged coat d likeness, which
proved to be that Of the very LADY
herself, who, in Italy, had had hei
child stolen from her, and now he
turns up poor little ragged sayoyard
dragging along miserable existenc,
in Paris, while his mother, by an in
+ tuition, perhaps, felt that IN the al
near to where she was, was one s.
dear to her.

by hunger to utterruin Of body and
soul but no sleek Bureau officials
press food I'd their famished lips.
But the fat, imp1dent and lazy
black yagabond, who day before yes.
tefday robbed a hen-roost, yesterday
applied the torch toa pillaged barn,
last nighttore an iron gate from its
hinges or a package from the hands
0of a terrified ola woman, can to-day
take his tin bucket to the agents Of
the Bureau and have it filed with
food at the expense Of the nation.
And thus it happens that famine is
stalking through the South, because
the nation is taxed to feed idle and
thieyish blacks.
By this encouragement Of the ne-
gro to lead a life Of vicious idleuess,
The right Of suffrage once regarded
with pride has been degraded. 1t was
held up to the white man as the
prize Of citizenship, but now
it is the reward Of idleness and vice.
The negro is made a pauper and an
idle yagabond BY the very ageleies
which made him a voter.
How long will the neglected and
impoverished white laborer Of the
North consent To be thoyictim Of this
monstrous outrage upon the white
race which has already brought ruin
and absolute want to his own door /?
How long will he patiently sec the
business Of the country pafalyzed and
the machinery in the factories, whose
owners once gave him Liberal wages,
lrusting from disuse, because the Radi-
Gals have ruined the best customers Of
the North2 If his own starving wife
and children apply for admission to

equally lazy wife and children, and
aH can be fed.
Where is this distinction between
the white laborer who has been
thrown out of employment by the
policy of the Radical party, and the
negro who is supported in idleness, to
end? Is the day distant when the
starving and infuriatod victims of this
conspiracy to Africanize the South
will rise and sweep away lazy negro
voters and the sleek and prosperous
agents Of the Freedmen's Bureau
together with their Goldfish, old
CLOTHES, meal bags and soup boilers
We believe the darkness which now
envelopes the land, and the chill o.
despair which is benumbing oul
energies, are the precursors of thC
early dawn of that day when tht
authors Of all the woes which nov
aflidt us will be called to a mos
terrible reckoning.

Dead Heads.

There is popular fallacy prevail
ing, to the effect that g newspaper
men are highly favored mortals, in
enjoying the dead head privilege to
ia degree Of inexpressiblo beatitude.
They travel free ESQ the world sup
poses) by railways and, steamboats,;
they press unquestioned by the Yigi-
liant sentinels who guard the avenues
of access to theatres and operas they
are invited to balls, masquerades, and
suppers; in short, excepting for the
bulcher, the baker, and the tailor
who have no respect for dead heads
the editor is supposed to hold a free
pass for the highways and by ways Of
life, Happy man!
In this, as in many other matters,
the world is very much at fault. The
privileges Of caput mortuum are more
limited than is presumed, Moreover,
they are more often obtained by
haagers.on Of newspaper Offices thar
by those more truly entitled to them
The men who do the brain work
which is, after all, the main WOrk--ot
a newspaper are little known outside
Of their Offices, They rarely claim
any professional privileges. Those
who thrust forward such claims arr
generally least entitled to them. The
who WELD that weapon popularity sup

From the Richmond CVa) Enquirer
Starving White LabOrers and
Fattening Negro VagabOnds.

Gil Bias de Santillane, during his
travels and adventures, encountered a
philanthropist, who was waxing rich
by the management of a charity fund;
and tax of many millions, for the
support in idleness of thousands Of
lazy blacks, has proved 50 advantage

terested as the hospitality displayed by
Polyphemus, King of the Cyolops, to
unfortunate travellers who fell into ais
hands. He fed them as cooks do
.cooped chickens, and when they were
in good condition, he roasted and de-
voured them.
In November next, the Radical
party will surely need all the black
voters who can be.driven to the polls,
and alth ough. the nation is becoming
restive and impatient at the thought
of giving millions to the support of
idle Africans, yet they must be sup.
ported until after the next Presi-
Dental election. Then Cuffee having
fulfilled his mission, will be kicked
out Of doors and ordered to take care
of himself. If an OK, or a hog, or a
mule could be made a sufragan " by
act Of Congress- and then placed
under Radical management, a Bureau
would at once be established for the
support Of the aforesaid quadruped
voters, until they had been made use
aful "to the party"
AS the negro, of all men, is the least
disposed to work SO long as he can

he is indifferent to the comforts Of

is responsible for thefollowing
An incident worth mentioning ocs
eurred ii Carroll Hall on the second
night Of the Dickens readings. Ben
Butler entered after the performance
had commenced, and walked down the
center aisle while Dickens was de-,
scribing one Of his most interesting
scenes in his selections from Copper
field. Perhaps Benjamin was IN.
ayoidably detained, on perhaps he
wished to make his appearance At a
time when he could attract that
amount Of attentionwhich he thinks
is due to his eminent abilities and
great public services. There are
those who adopt this as one Of the
ways Of keeping before the people I;
some Of them, men Of marked zeal III
religious affairs, who never enter the
church until the Congregation is well
seated and then walk straight to the
front pew. IfGen. Butler hadn't his
minds eye on this idea On tie oc-
casiou referred to, his motives we're
mispnderstood by many, that's ALL
Well the hero Of Bermuda walked
down the aisle the observed of all Oh,
servers, and took his seat in a very
select and advantageous part Of the
hall. The first selection was soon
concluded, andM Dickens retired as
is his wont for ten minutes Of rest
and refreshment. There we're whisp-
erings among the older folks, aud
flirting among the younger, in the
midst Of which up rose Butler from
his seat, eitherto observe or be OBJ
served, hard to tell which, though ]
iinclined to the latter belief. There
was no mistakIng that bald head, n
that strabismic eye. It was Benjamin

without that article they do not acquit him,
they are greener than ever was when I COM
menced practice at the Court of Quarter Ses-
sions. If the article be inserted the Presi-
dents own letter shows both the removal and
the attempt to defeat the reinstatement, and
charges in his favor, how could he or his
cousel hope to escape from this one. 1t is
worth all the others put together, unless it be
on the unconstitutionality OF the Tenure Of
Office bill. Let US look and see what chance
he has to escape there. The Senate has four
| times voted on the constitutionality Of that
very bill. The vote first stood-ayes, 30
NAYS, 9. | am sorry to say it was party
vote, but every Republican voted in its favor.
Let me see, continued Mr.. Stevens, shaking
his finger above his head, the recreant who
dares to tread back upon his steps and vote
on the other side. There was report of the
Committee of Conference afterwards on the
bill and the vote then stood-ayes, % nays,
l0-every Republican voting for the measure.
Then came the vote on it oyerruling the
Presidents veto. That vote was-ayes, 50
nays, ll-every Republican voting in favor
the bill. Now, then, let him who can expect
to go out of it on any ground left, if my ar
ticle is adopted let him hope, who dares to
hope, that so high body as the Senate will |
betray its trust; forget its acts will tread
back upon its own action will disgrace itself
in the face Of the nation. Point me ore who
does do it, and you show me one who dares
be regarded as infamous by posterity. What
chance has Andrew Johnson with the article
which was left out in order to give him
loophole What chance has Andrew John

Unfortunate, unhappy man, behold your
doom
