man endurance. With yell such as
man never utters, save when IN mortar
terror, poor John again set forward AZ
break-neck speed, and once more naa
the pleasure of seeing the snake in MS
old position, somewhat after the tasn.
ion of the tails of comets. On, on they
flew. John forgot the quilting, forgot
the girls, forgot everything but tne
snake. His first wild shrek had start
ed the quilters, and forth they rushed,
wondering if some mad Indian was
not prowling about. By this time John
was within few rods of the barn, still
running at the top of his speed, his head
turned so that he might keep one eye
on the snake, aad with the other oO-
serve what course he must take; the
barn now concealed him frsm the
sight of the girls. He knew they were
in the yard, having caught glimpse
of them az they rushed from the house.
For moment mo6esty oyercame fear,
and he once more halted. The snake,
evidently pleased with his rapid trans
portation, manifested his gratitude by
attempting to enfold the legs of our
hero within his embrace.
With an explosive .'Ouch!" and urged
forward by circumstances ever when
he had no control" poor John bounded
on. The next moment he was In vie"
of the girls, and as he turned the cor
ner of the barn the snake came round
with whiz somewhat after the fashion
of coachwhip. Having reached the
barry ard, to his dismay he found the
bars up. The time was too precious to
be wasted in letting down bars. He
gathered all his strength, bounded into
the air, snake ditto, and as he allghted
on the other side his snakeship's tail
cracked across the upper bar.
The house COW became the centre OF
attraction, and around it he revolved
with the speed of thought. Four times
in each revolution, as he turned the cor
ner, his snakeship came around with
whiz that was quite refreshing. While
describing the third circle, as he came
near the group of wonder-struck girls,
without removing his gaze from the
snake he managed to cry out-"Call a
manw
The next minute he had whisked out
of sight, and as quick as thought reap
upOu buo OlhOi oihO o1 thS hNeSS
-"Call manw
Away he flew once more, but his
strength was rapidly failing. Nancy
Clark was the first to recover her pres
ence of mind, and seizing hoop she
took her station near the corner of the
house, and as John reappeared, brought
it down upon the snake with force
that broke his back and his hold upon
Johns garment.
John rushed into the house, and to
his room, and at tea-time. appeared in
hi, best Sunday suit. looking but little
worse for the race, and to all appear
ances, entirely cured of bashfulness,
That night he walked home with Nancy
Clark. The next New Years they were
married, and now whenever John is in
clined to laugh at his wife's follies she
has enly to say, Call man. when he
instantly sobers down.

as the Cacos occupied two hundred miles

The White Mnniu the South

The public mind in the great Middle
States of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
York, has been so much occupied of late
in considering scenes enacted ut Wash
ington, that but little regard has been
had to the condition of the white men in
the South. We have reason to know,
from the most reliable sources, that the
white "subjects of military despOtism"
in the Africanized States are in most
deplorable position. Wings, Unionists,
and Democrats alike, are now subjected
to the Generalization Of "the low-lav-
cling tide of Radical fanaticism,"
which, if not speedily and effectually
checked, the whole South will ere
long be hopelessly degraded and
rained for generation, if not
''for all time" These are the deliber-
ate opinions of men who fought iE tho
"Union army" and to whom no politi-
ical sympathy with the South can be
imputed. The voice of anguish is now
hushed in the cry of despair which
comes to us from every white citizen in
the Southern States. We do not include
Puritan persecution, and Radical rule
from UUe 1dukce CJdIcS WIZ, IOI pell'
plunder and position, take Radical
money to make Radical capital. We
refer to the white citizens of the negro
States, who are degraded by negro
votes into the disfranchised class.
1t is time, we think, now that the peo-
pie of the "free States" are repudiating
negro rule at home, to look to the fate
of their rhite fellow-citizens in the
South.
The time has fully come when the
claims Of blood, race and color should
lie heard by the white men of the Union,
as they are presented by the white
men of the Africanized States Of the
Union.
Men of the white race, are YOU will
ling that your brothers should be de-
graded, enslaved, despoiled, snbjugated
by the negroes of the South 7 If you
are not, then do not take counsel Of
your fear, but by earnest effort and de-
termined WILL try to rescue the white
man of the South from the degradation
which must follow his subjugation to
the political and social power the Rad
icals are giving to the negro.-Age

MIR. SUMNER IN woRRIMENr.

The nine white men and three ne

on bail, on Friday. The arrest was sup
posed to be in connection with the Ash
burn murder, though no information
on that point was vouchsafed the pris-
oners at the time of arrest or since.
They were simply required to give bail
in $500 each, to appear when called
for. A bail bona was made out and left
at a banking house for signature, and
in three hours seven hundred names,
including those OF thirty or forty freed
men, were affixed to il. The bail was
accepted, and the parties were imme-
diately dismissed.
