WHY the Fat woman Didn't
Commit Suicide.

A night or two ago heshy woman re.
siding in St. Louis being tormented by the
pangs Of jealousy, the dcpredations Of mus.
ketoes and bed bugs, and the heat Of the
weather, resolved to put an end to her suf.
ferings by committing suicide. Near her
premises is deep cistcrn containing
about twenty feet Of water, with pair Of
buckets suspended to the end ola chain.
The fat woman threw off her extra skirts
and proceeded to the cistern to execute her
purpose. Taking hold Of the chain, she
swung off, and her weight-22O pounds
carried her down with great rapidity. She
struck the water like log, end foremost,
and went down with mighty splash, sink.
ing some ten feet, and popping up again
like cork, but still holding on to the chain.
The water cooled her off at once, and the
reaction operated upon both body and mind.
Jealousy and insects were forgotten in the
delightful bath, and with both hands cling
ing to the chain, she amused herself by
kicking her heels downward, bobbing up
and down, now sinking to her chin, and then
rising with her feet near the surface.
After amusing herself in this way for ten
or fifteen minutes, she began to feel uncom-
fortably cool, and sought for some means to
get out. 1t was impossible for her to climb
the chaid hand over hand, sailor fashion,
and the only way was to call for assistance.
Her teeth now began to chatter, and her
voice was not loud enoughto be heart. from
the bottom of the cistern. She tried the
climbing process. and by desperate exertion
assembled several feet, but her grip relaxed,
and she fell back "kerchug" into the,water
Her situation was becoming desperate, and
she was getting quite sick, when at length
neighbor who had been out on a spree,
went to the cistern to get drink Of water.
He hauled up the chain, and was not little
surprised to find that the bucket was un-
usually heavy. BY hard pulling, he at last
drew up the lead, and there sat the fat wo-
man astride the bucket, holding to the
chain with both hands, gasping and unable
to speak. He lifted her out, took her
home, and then went to another well to
quench his thirst. The woman is cured Of
her jealousy, and is better able to stand the
bed bugs and musketoes, having lost about
twenty bounds of flesh by her almost tragic
treatment.

Afraid Of Exposure.

It is not much wonder tho Radicals arc
frightened out Of their wits at tho prospect
of defeat. 1t is not surprising that they
trcmblc when they hear the shouts Of tho
people for Seymour. The rascals fear ex.
posure. For nearly eight long years they
have been pract icing frauds, robberies and
villainics upon the people, and they know
and feel that they deserve punishment
Let the Democrats obtain power, and our
word for it exposure will be made that will
astound men Of all parties. The Radical
conspirators know this, and they know that
their defeat now will be an everlasting dc.
feat. Hence their zeal to save themselves
from the doom that awaits them. But they
may as well make up their minds that tho
people can no longer be triacd with or de.
ceived. The gods have dccrccd that this
rotten, reasonable, thieving Radical faction
is to be put down and kept down. 1t is not
possible for the taxpayers Of this country
to submit longer to the intolerable evtrava-
gance, gross corruption and open treason Of
this Infamous faction.
The nomination of Grant by the Radicals
is the best evidence of the decay of their
party. When the old Wbig party grew
wcak-when it had lost the confidence Of the
pcople-its adherents tried to save it from
defeat by nominating the brave old Scott as
their candidate for President. They then,
as now, attempted to ignore the issues be.
fore the people; they rccountcd the many
battles Gen. Scott had fought, pointed to
his bleeding wounds, and asked the people
to vote for him because Of his military ser.
vices. But the answer came back from
mountain and valley: "No!-we respect
Gen. Scott as military man, but have no
confidence in the men who surround him
and who will control him should he bo
placed in the Presidential chair. He is not
fit for high civil position, and We will NOT
give him our votes" This was, in sub.
stance, their answer. Gen. Scott was dis.
astrously defeated.
Gen. Grant will meet the fate Of Scott;
he will be, as he deserves to be, defeated by
about the same majority. Like Scott, he
is mot fit for high civil position" Many
doubt whether he is fit for anything except
to puff segars. His military character will
not bear investigation, for the more it is
looked at the worse it looks. Let men Of
all parties, therefore, who love their coun.
try and its institutions, fall in with the pop.
ular current aud assist to swell the majority
for the peoples candidates, Seymour and
Blair. They are men of character, one
Democrat, the other Conservative Repub-
lican, who loves his country over party

The Privileged Classes.

The following constitute some of the priv
ileged classes under the present Radical dis
pensation:
!. The bondholder. lie IS exempted from
all State and local taxation. He receives
his interest on his bonds in gold, while ev-
cry body else has to take their interest in
legal tenders.
g. The National banker, who is receiving
some twenty-five or thirty per cent on his
investment, by virtue Of the valuable priv
ilegc which the Government has given him
to provide National currency to the peo.
pie.
3. The Southern negro, who has Freed
mems Bureau to look after his interests, and
to feed and clothc him if he don't choose to
work.
a. The New England manufacturer, who
receives an immense bonus in the shape of
protection to his fabrics, all of which comes
out of the pockets of the laboring classes,
who are compelled to buy them.
S. The railroad monopolists, to whom
Congress has granted tracts of land large
enough for empires, out Of which they can
build their roads and have great deal to
spare A few favored men have thus voted
for them, free Of expense, great railroad
6. The Congressman and legislators who
sustain these privileged classes in their ras-
calties upon the people, and who are made
partners on that account in the robberies.
7. The immense army of oflicc-holdcrs
who live upon the unclean drippings Of the
Treasury.
1t is the party opposed to the Democracy
which, by the act of its leaders, has brought
into being these privileged classes, and up
on which they mainly rely for their contin-
ued existence. 1t is no wonder that, with
such immense interests fastened upon the
body polite, and drawing its hearts blood,
that the country has ceased to flourish, and
that its great resources are being dried up.
The great issue now is, whether the pee
pie have intelligence enough-whether they
sufficiently appreciate their own interests
to rise in their might at the coming elec-
tions, and put an end to these privileged
classes and conditions of men. The latter
are struggling desperately to maintain them
selves, and are resorting to all the applian-
ces of corruption for that purpose. Where
there is a venal press, they obtain it; where
there is speaker or writer of purchasable
material, they are sure to have his aid.
The acts of Congress and many Of the
high officers of the Government show that
they are mortgagcd, body and soul to these
privileged classes of men. They are power
fully intrenched in all the political strong.
holds of the country. But they can be
beaten if the people so will it-if they are
not led astray by cunning demagogucs who
fire their party prejudices and inAamc their
party passions, in order that they may not
recognize their true interests, and continue
to be hereafter, as they arc now, the vassals
of those who are so grievously expressing
them Gin. Eng.

The War Of Races Commenced

Radical rule in the South, and their tam
pering with, and their decentralization of the
negroes, have borne their legitimate fruit.
A serious collision has taken place between
the whites and blacks, which resulted in the
killing and wounding of a considerable num-
Der of the latter. 1t was caused by the
carpet.bag candidate for Congress in that
district entering the town of Camilla, Geor.
gia, at the head of four or five hundred
armed negroes. Sometime before, the Gov
ernor had issued his proclamation calling
upon all armed bands in the State to break
up their organizations, and prohibited them
to assemble with arms in their hands. The
sheriff, of counties were called upon to car
ry this proclamation into effect. When the
carpet.baggcr and his negro army approach
ed the town, the sheriff appeared before
them, read the proclamation, and warned
them not to enter armed. The consequence
was just what might have been expected, a
collision took place between them and the
citizens, and much blood was shed. .
This is but the beginning of what may be
expected if the policy Of the Radicals con-
tinues. Their road to power leads over riv.
crs of blood, rapine, and war Of races. If
the people do not check them the South
will witness more fearful scenes than those
of st. Domingo. Their incendiary har-
angues to the negroes have unsettled their
weak intellect and prepared them for crime
and bloodshcd. They use the poor negro
as a ladder to climb into Office ut the ex.
pense of peace and tranquility. Will the
people allow this TO continue?
