IW ABOUT two weeks ago the Republi-
cans in the vicinity of New Columbus, Mon.
tour county, cut down the hickory pole that
had been raised there by Democrats. The
Democracy assembled and raised the pole a
second time. Last Saturday night the same
villains repeated the work and again cut it
down, and, to show their desire for ''peace," 1"
cut the pole to pieces. Their malicious and
telonious intent being not then satisfied,
they went to the premises Of the widow Of
John Moore, where they stole her ounces
and ham of pork. Such is Grants peace!
COUNTY FAIR.-Don't forget the Annual
County Fair at Bloomsburg next week. The
grounds and buildings of the Society will be
thoroughly repaired and fitted up. The
Exhibition promises to be the largest, most
attractive and most instructive of any yet
held by the Society. We find by close COM
parison that we were in error last week in
stating tho premium list to be about the
same as last year, whereas it is greatly en-
larged in the list of articles, and the rremi.
ums offered much larger than heretofore,
and very much larger than those offered by
adjoining counties.

nJr AN OUTRAGE Last evening, whilst
young friend of our acquaintance was
stated in conversation with young lady at
the door Of her fathers house, most base
and tiendish attack was made upon him by
blood.thirsty villain armed with dagger.
The assassin came to the door humming
some kind Of ditty, and holding his dag
ger between his teeth. After few unim-
portant remarks, he thrust his weapon into
the nose Of the young man, who, making
some resistance, succeeded in repelling the
first attack. A second assault was more sue
cessful, and the victim received several stabs
in the hand and upon other parts of
his body. The young lady coming to his
assistance, the brutal intruder was knocked
down, and upon light being brought, was
discovered to be member of the Ku Klux
Klan by the name Of G. Nat lie is now
under bonds.

A SLIGHT MIsTAKE.-In q New
Hampshire town there lived an igno-
rant, ilreligious and worthless family,
Ransom by name, no member of which
had ever been inside of church with
in the "memory of the Oldest inhabit-
ant" The village pastor, after years
of failure, had almost persuaded two
of the youngest scions to promise at
tendance; but the fear that they would
be the subject of some personal re-
marks still deferred them. They were
in great terror lest they should be
publicly upbraided for their misdo-
ings, and called to account for their
wickedness. After much exertion,
their fears were quieted, and on the
following Sunday the eyes of the good
pastors congregation were astonished
at the presence of the aforesaid Ram
SONS. All went well until the read
ing of the second hymn, which was
the familiar elbow We the trumpet
blow" when at the end of the line,

and with long strides toward the door,
shouted, "Come along home, Bill. I

came here" --.. les.f-

That tall black man is going to vote

Grant ticket in his pocket, and hands a
closely-folded piece of paper to the
officer, and into the ballot-box it goes.
"Why, Bill, you voted your certifi-
cate" says one of the crowd.
"No, here's my 'stifcate," says Bill,
pulling the ballot out of his pocket.
.'No, that's your ticket" says the
officer, who puts his long, slender fin
gers into the ballot-box, and grap-
pies" out the certificate, and puts in
the ballot.

cate, you may need it again." says a
fellow African, as he comes near max

during the war, but now is so much

How.They Speak in the English Par1ia-
ment.


We extract the following from a re-
cent number of the Gentlemd4t's Nag
dziaae, published in London:
s'The Times, of Friday, gave up no
less than thirty-five of its columns to
the parliamentary debates of the. pre-,
vious night, and not a single speaker
afterwards wrote to correct a syllable
of the report. Yet the speakers them
selves are frequently anything but per-
feet elocutionists. They speak some
times with their backs to the gallery
they speak, MANY of them, i'll low,
slip shod and hesitating manner.
Lord Derby, Lord Cairns and Lord
Granville, as rule, speak distinctly
enough. You may hear every syllable
they have to say: yet you must be apt
with your pencil to take all you hear.
But Lord Russell and Lord Grey hum
and hah, hesitate and hang over every
phrase, talk loosely and often inaudi-
dly. Mr.. Gladstone generally speaks
apparently in q torrent aud whirlwind
of passion. Pale and naughty, he
stands at the table and pours out a
stream of thought and passion in long,
sweeping sentences. His vehement
spirit finds an apt echo in clear and
musical enunciation. Mr.. Disrseli
speaks in quieter tones; but every
word is audible, and every sentence is
perfect. Mr.. Bright's masculine sense
finds fitting expression in magnificent
rhetoric. He has powerful voice,
and he uses it like prima donna.
He is, to my thinking, the most perfect
and artistic speaker in the House of
Commons. Sir Rounden Palmer and
Mr.. Coleridge speak in an easy, flow
ing and graceful style; and as they al
ways keep the house at attention, you
can hear all they have to say. But
Mr.. Lowe is the terror of the gallery.
He is one of the ablest and cleverest
men in Parliament; but as speaker
he is one of the most annoying. He
speaks very fast, very indistinctly, and
very irregularly. His articulation is
chaotic. Sir Stafford, Northcote has
fatal fault. He talks without stops of
any description. His speeches are
continuous streams of words. Lord
Stanley is bit of bore for though
you may always reckon upon sound
manly sense, you must strain your ears
and puzzle your wits to interpret, SEN
tence by sentence, what he is saying.
His articulation is terribly disconcert-
ing. 1t is zigzag and blurred. Mr..
Stuart Mill has weak, thin voice and
hesitating manner. Yet all these
are men whosespeeches on interesting
occasions every paper thinks it duty
to give in the first person, and, as
rule the speeches of these men are
given with striking verbal accuracy.
Very often they read much more effec-
lively in the papers the next morning
than they sounded in st. Stephens the
previous night" w..

automatically around the central sun.

miniature sun, which represented the
earth, DIR. Meissner provided the pres

full magnifying glass, and requested
him. to examine this earth. It was it's
azoie age Not a trace of life could
be seen on the barren rocks, none In
the lonely seas breaking unimpeded
on the desolate shores. The palaezo-
ic age came on, and the eye could
trace sea-weeds and the earliest vege-
tation, and so the astonished president
went through the mesozoic era and
onward, as life Increased. Vast vege-
table forms, mighty ferns tossing their
giant arms in the gale, appeared
Uncouth monsters crept over the land
and swan in the seas. Convulsions
rent the earth's crust, and hurried
millions of animated beings to death.
Time passed and men appeared, Dig

Cities arose, and ,history-the story Of
human woe-was repeated on this
mimic world! Rome rose and FELL
The countless hordes of India and the
East ragged and tore each other In
mimic fight. The whole course Of
history was ,re-enacted. Even Berlin
and its academy appeared, and was
seen gazing at glass globe suspended
from ceiling. How closely must
the president have examined thisi
But, unable to endure the sight, as he
saw himself in a moment struggling

the glass, and would look no longer.

ALL ARE BUILDERS.

All are architects OF fate,
Working in these walls of Time,
Some with massive deeds and great,
Some with ornaments of rhyme. u
Nothing useless is or low;
Each thing in its place Is best;
And what seems but idle show
Strengthens and supports the rest.
For the structure that we raise,
Time is with materials filed;
Our to-days and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build.
Truly shape and fashion these;
Leave no yawning gaps between
Think not, because no man sees,
Such things viii remain unseen.
In the elder days of art sasas
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part;
For the gods see everywhere.
Let us do our work as well,
Both the unseen and the seen;
Make the house where gods may dwell,
Beautiful, entire and clean.
Else our lives are incomplete, f-sa'
