sTEPHENs' BOOK.

We are again importuned to pub
lish an advertisement for an agent to
sell "Iistory of the War, with its
Causes, Character, Conduct and Re-
Suits" by Alex. H. Stephens, ofGeor-
gia, late Vice President of the So
called Confederacy. Recollecting the
contempt with which Mr.. Stephens
treated the Northern people in a
speech delivered in 1856, and that by
such means he and his confreres crea-
ted in the South the spirit ofrebellion;
keeping fresh in our memory the IA
nous Georgia Convention speech OF
Mr.. Stephens, after the rebellion was
inauguratcd, in which he told his peo-
pie the United States Government had
given no cause for it and had not only
been just but partial to the South in
bestowing its favors; and remembering
yet after all Mr.. Stephens did accept
the Vice Presidency of the so-called
Confeleracy and make a speech in
favor of his new government, declar-
ing that Slavery was the rock upon
which it was founded "as Christ was
the Rock of the Christian Church."
When we bear in mind these acts and
sayings of Alexander II. Stephens, we
have no wish to be the means of in
flicting more of them upon the people.
Mr.. Stephens is now becoming quite
an old man, and will soon like Bu-
chanan, pass to that "bourne whence no
traveller returns" and as we can say
nogoodofthc man, let him pass quietly
along, We do not wish to feed him,
or starvc him,'as he did our prisoners
at Andersonvile. Let rebel sheets
and rebel hands care for him as best
they may.

SEYiIOJR'S LAST.

Last Friday night Seymour made
his last bid for the Presidency before
his friends in New York. His speech
for brazen eflrontcry and willful false
hood exceeds anything we have seen
in that line of late. The Pittsburgh
Gazette remarks concerning it:
Gov. Seymour's address was prclaccd
decorated and concluded with the
amount of Misrepresentation and par
tizan demagogucry usually found in
Democratic speeches, and which even
the distinguished orators of that party
are compelled to adopt as the only
medium through which they make sea
sonabc counsel or admonitions heard
by their followers. Bat under cover
Of all this clap-trap and humbug, he
has managed to deal a savagoly effect
tive blow at the ACCOMPLISHMENTS
of Pendeton, and the obtuse folly of
the fellows who arc still clamorons for
"a white mans government" The
precise extent of the influence which
this speech will have with the party at
large, the next fortnight will disclose.

In the oIdcn time, to entitIe a man
to the honor Of making his wife a Wild
ow, and himself u fool at the same
time, it was necessary that he should
hold some sort of distinguished rcla-
ton to society; but in this day the
pnrrcnu and the sans culotc possesses
every requisite necessary for the per-
formancc. We read in an exchange
paper that two negroes, in Mississippi,
have been blazing away at each other,
with revolvers, washing clean their
soiled honor in blood. This is all
right, Sambo has just as good right to
make a fool Of himself as has white
man.

Gov BRowNIow of Tennessee, in
his newspaper, The KnoruWe IVdig,
expresses the following opinion "Oi

cede Kentucky and Maryland as GER

Connecticut we set down as doubtful,
All the other States we claim for Grant,
no matter who may be nominated at
the New York gathering fold Demo-
cratic prostitutes, Wing renegades, and
defeated Rebels. OF the Southern
States that may be admitted to vote,
we claim one-half for Grant, certain,
and consequently we claim the trium-
plant election of the Republican
ticket"

COlfax ys. Coalfax.

A dispute having arisen between
some persons in Des Moines, Iowa,
relative to the pronunciation of the
name of the Republican candidate for
Vice President, one of them addressed
him letter of inquiry. A portion
contended that it was pronounced Col
far, others claiming that it was Coalfar.
The speakers reply reads as follows;
WASHINGTON, May 26.-My first
name is pronounced as if written Sky
Ter, and the last as if written CoaJar.
The "a" doubtless dropped out in
crossing the ocean.

that "great reductions Of expenses had

minutes, and the Senate ten minutes.
The bill went through the upper
branch by thirty to eight, and the

to thirty. The Democrats express a

A PASSENGER by a night train on
the Hudson River railroad tells the
following: The train was detained at
Grecnbush for little while, and while
waiting, cattle train came on the
other track and stopped. Such a noise
has seldom been heard the cattle bel
lowed, the sheep set upa bleating, and
the hogs grunted; until the passengers
were nearly crazed. One old fellow
had slept for hours, but this oiscwoke
him. Rubbing his eyes, he listened in
amazement. "Ayc, aye I" says he,
"what's this?" Pccring into the dark
ness without discerning anything, and
listened more critically, he at last sat
isfed himself, and sat the passengers
roaring by the exclamation, THAT
must be Democratic convention"

How it can be possible for two princi-

different as these, to harmonic will be
the business of the convention of
the 4th:
"If we debase the currency by nn-
wise issues, We shall equally perplcx
business and destroy sober industry,
and make all prices mere matters of
gambling, tricks and chances. This
will end as it did in The Southern Con-
federacy. At the outset the citizens Of
Richmond went to market with their
money in their vest pockets and
brought back their dinners in their
baskets; in the end they took their
money in their baskets, and took
home their dinners in their vest pock-

TIE SIX DEGREES OF DRUNKENNESS
l-Ihe most foolish predicament u mau
eau set into is to get drunk. IN drunk
enness every man shows his strongest
and most ardent passion. There are six
Kinds of drunkartls, and If you will go
into city drinking place, where there
are dozen men under the influence oil
liquor, You will be sure to find these six
different characters, representing differ
ent animals:
The first is ape-drunk. He leaps, and
sings. and yeils, and dances, making all
sorts OF grimaces, and cutting up all
sorts of monkey shines" the excite the
laughter of his companions. Terribly
silly is the drunken clown.
The second ia the tiger-drunk. He
breaks the bottles, breaks the chairs,
breaks the heads of his fellow caroasers,
and is full of blood and thunder. His
eyes are fired with vengeance, aud his
soul raves with murderaus fury. OF
this sort are those who abuse their fam
lilies.
The third is hog-drunk. He rolls in
the dirt on the floor, grunts and slob-
bers, and, going into the street, makes
his bed in the first disch or filthy corner
he may happen TO fall into. He is hea-
Wy, lumpish, and sleepy, and cries in q
granting way for % little more to drink.
The fourth id puppy drunk. He will
weep for kindness, and whine his love,
and hug You in his arms, and kiss you
with his sloisbery lips, and proclaim how
much he loves you. You are the best
man he ever saw, and he will lay down
his money or his life for you.
The fifth is owl drunk. He is wise in
his own conceit. No man must differ
with him. for his word is law. He is
true in politics, and all matter must be
taken ms authority. His arm is the
strongest, his voice is the sweetest, his
horse is the fastest, his turnips the lar
gest, his room the finest in all the town
or land.
The sixth and last animal, is the
fox-drunkman. He is crafty, ready to
trade horses and cheat if be can. Keen
to strike bargain, leering with low
cunning, peeping through cracks, listen
ing under the caves, watching for some
suspicious thing, sly as fox, sneaking
as WOLF He is the meanest drunkard
of them all.

A Chinese ALMANAC is a most extraor

A Chinese almanac is most extraor-
binary publication. The days for pillow
ing, building, travelling and marrying
are laid down in it with tue greatest
minuteness. The whole period of four
seasons are divided into twenty four
solar terms, each possessing some char
acteristie name, and corresponding to
the day on which the sun enters the
first or fifteenth degrees of one of the
twelve signs of the zodiac. AS the Chi
nese is lunar calendar, the places of
these solstices, equinoXes, etc, which
regulate the three great festivals of the
year, are changed every year. There is
also the decentralization of the arrears
of the Chinese year of 354 days, which
in period of every thirty-two or thirty
three months, amount to great month
of thirty days, which is accordingly in
troduced, every two or three years, in
such way as to preserve the order of
these twenty four periods.

AN ELOQUENT ExTRACT.-The fol-
lowing image was used by that strong
minded patriot, Hon. Daniel w. Voor
HES, of Indiana. in one OF his political
speeches.:
God made the eagle and the owl. He
gave to both plumage and wings. In
the same class of large birds of the air
ranged He them! The same atnosphere
ana the various seasons were common
to both. God created the Caucasian
ana the African. With brain, muscle.
and nerve, endowed He them. With
blood and soul and the erect posture
they are distinguishable as members of
u general family. There was for both
the same earth to yield it's tillage; the
same sunshine and rains; the same seas
upon which to spread commerce.; the
same elements for science to extract
DEMENT'S for man. AS the eagle to the
owl, so the white man to the black.
stand i'll the same relative positions as
they were round in the twilight of his
tory. Let the eagle but attempt to take
the owl to its eyries and It's habits, and
both fall to the earth together Let the
whlte man assume to make the negro
his equal, and the vain effort to erase
the lines drawn by the finger of God
assures the certain downfall of the in
vaders of the majesty of His work of
creation; the eagle is ruined with the
owl-and a fitting symbol of this is tho
vain effort the American people are now
making.

A LABOR OF LovE.-A California
story tells of man who resolved to quit
drinking, and went to a notary to get
him to draw up an affidavit to that effect.
The document was drawn, read and
proved; the party held up his hand and
murmured the usual "s'elp me-" 1t was
promptly sealed and delivered.
''What's to payl" asked the pledger.

NEGRO SUFFRAGE.-FourS States have
recently voted on this question, three
directly, and one indirectly. Ohio reiec-
ted IL by 10000 direct majority. Ten
thousand votes not cast were counted
III tue negative. Kansas gave 5000
majority against it; Minnesota, 1000;
and New Jersey, where The issue was
indirectly presented in the election of
members of the Legislature, voted
against it by 1900 majority.
III Ohio there are III. 100 white and
only 1914 black males; in Kansas the
PROPAGATION is 5S,S52 white to ESQ black;
In Minnesota, 81, S04 white to 126 black;
in New Jersey, 800, 1S3 white 10 1872
black. This is from the census of 1850,
1t Is probable that the relative proper
ton oil white males in those States is
still 81 eater at the present time.
1t may be we'll asked whether, il those
States with white male population of
fully two millions, are unwilling to let
some thirty Thousand negroes vote, they
should require negro suffrage in the
South where the blacks are so much
more nearly equal in numbers to the
whites? If every Northern State should
adopt negro suffrage for itself, it should
still oppose that measure in the South,
because it would give the blacks too
much power here, and thus give them
frequent opportunities of controlling
the leg islatiOu and administration of the
Federal Government. The Northern
States are wise enough TO see this, and
viii oppose negro suffrage in the South
even more strongly, if possible, than
they will reject it for thcmselves.-[G Gal.
