SPEECH By SOUTH CAROLINA SAND-HIL-
LER-" STop GROWING EARLY in the past
month, one of the Republican orators was
addressing about five hundred of these peo-
pie, when he was interrupted by stalwart
man about fifty years of age, who said he
would like to make 4 speech. lie was al
lowed to go on. lie said "Feller citizens,
YOU all know me. | was borned in these
hair sand-hills. You know | am a Demo-
crat, and hate niggers. But Pm gwine to
vote the Republican ticket, and | want YOU
uns to vote for it, too. Cause why feller
citizens, cause why have had a warning
from the Lord. You know, Teller citizens,
/ alters raised the best dominic game cocks
in the State of South Carolina. They never
give way for the cold steel, and they were
tightening en- the gaffs. Wal, Ginral Sher-
man started down this yer way with his COM
pany, and | went out with my rifle, and
with the boys, to meet him. They was too
big for us, and drew we uns all back Wal
| reckon when Ginral Sherman come here.
| had nigh about seventy of the best domi.
MICS that ever pecked a corn-seed. Wal,
Ginal Shermans men begun to shoot nv
chickens, and they banged 'em under the
house, and round the house, and on ton of
the house ; and | reckon when they got throo
hadn't more'n ten chickens left. But fore
God, they han't one of 'em crowed from
that day to this, although they're all full
game. That's the reason, feller citizens, I'm
gwlne to vote the Republican ticket. It's
time for we uns to stop CROWN, aud do the
clean thing, Feller citizens. we ought to
have as much sense as a fowl"
The Shasta courier., 1868-09-19

A COMPLETE REJoINDER-.One of the best
REPLIES we have noticed in the canvass is that
of the Hon. John A. Bingham, of Ohio,
who. while speaking at Republican meeting
in Bangor Me-, was insulted by Copper
head, who cried out: How about Mrs. Sur
ratt?'' Mr.. Bingham instantly responded:
How about her? Go ana consult the rec
ords of the Court that tried and convicted
her. Go and ask General Hancock, who
issued the order for her execution in spite of
a writ of babeas corpus which had peen serv-
ed npon him; and, if you are still unsatisfed,
90 and ask that apostate President, Andrew
johnson, why he refused pardon after a pc
tition had been sent him signed by every
member but one of the court who tried her,
aud drawn up in the handwriting of the
man you seek to insult.

Durcu CocKtail.-Two Germans keep a
certain saloon..in this city, one of them attend
ing bar in the day time and the other at
night To play yoke on Yake." the one
going off watch yesterday morning filled the
sugar bowl with salt. Shortly after Jake
took charge of the bar two gentlemen called
for drinks, one of them asking for cock
tail, pretty sweet" Jake mixed the drink,
putting in two spoonfulls of salt, and passed
it to the customer, who swallowed the con-
tents, and was instantly seized with the chol-
era you know Virginia Trespdss.
The Shasta courier., 1868-09-19

RoUGH On THE LEEcHEs.-The German
doctors have lately been playing their leeches
droll trick-making one worm do the work
of many. When the little blood-sucker has
taken his fill and is about to release his bite,
he is tapped a small incision is made in his
side, that serves as outlet for the blood and
goes on sucking, in happy ignoranceo of the
cause of his abnormal appetite as long as
thel doctor pleases. Bellatomy is the name
given to the practice, and it is urged that it
is not cruel, but contrarywise !, since it
does the leech good turn by enabling him
to enjoy his rich feast indefinitely. He does
not die under the operation. but with proper
treatment is soon healed, and may be iDciscd
over and over again. There was once an al
derman who wished he had been camel.
that he might have been blessed with the
seven stomachs voucbsafed by nature to that
animal. If such gourmand still exist, let
him seek surgical aid in some such treatment
as that practiced on the leeches, that be NAV
eat and drink ad libitum, and feel no
worse.
The Shasta courier., 1868-09-19

y DELICATE DIsCUSsIoN.-There is in
London a society called Dialectical, where
ladies and gentleman discuss together the
most delicate topics. The prevention of GER
tain contagious diseases was one of the re-
cent subjects. A fitting pendant to this dis
cussion is Il % crowded meeting" in which
DR.. Chapman, DIR. Drysdale DR.. Edmunds,
NJ. Bradlaugh and Lord Amberly lin the
chair) and several ladies are reported to have
been present. The subject was over popua
ton and public health. Lord Amberly avow-
ed himself con, ert to '' the discovery of the
ilustrous Malthus." The only alternative
to over-population and poverty seemed to him
to be small families and, after ALL it turned
out to be medical question how this could
best be accomplished without injury to
health. lie wished much that he could hear
the proposals of the medical men in the room
as to the best means of limiting numbers.
In America, ladies were in the habit of
keeping back their families but the meth
ods they employed seemed to him to be dan
gerous to health. Hence he should much
like to hear discussion as to whether some
innocuous measure might be discovered. 1t
was remarkable that the subject should have
first been taken up in America, where it
was not so much required as it was here.
DR.. Drysdale admitted, with Lord Amberly.
that the question was mainly medical one.
viz: how could married persons limit the
number of their offspring without injuring the
health He thought this question required
much calm thought and discussion, and
meanwhile would only state that in France,
a few years ago, he had in one hotel met
with two young couples, both married about
five years, and both without children. On
interrogation, the same answer was made
by both husbands-that they were not rich
enough yet to afford children. This was
one solution of the difficulty of oser-popula
ton, if not the best. Mr. Nasmyth contend
ed that the over-pro1uction of children was
in a great measure dependent on fashion.
1t was the present fashion in England to
have large families whilst in France, as
everybody knew, a great number of persons
thought it absolutely wrong to have more
than two or three.
