TO TIE PEOPLE OF THE so UTH.
THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to
the rehabilitation of the South in it's former
prosperity-is offered to subscribers at the
low rate of $3.50 for six months.
The annals of the American Republic
show no political campaign comparable in
the magnitude of it's issues and the mo-
righteousness of its results to that for the
Presidency, now pending. Indeed, the
very life of free government is on trial,
and it will be sad commentary on the
capacity of the people for the exercise of
that high trust if they, the jurors who are
to try the issue, pronounce a verdict of
self-condemnation. If the South has any
hope it is in the success of the Democratic
party in the coming Presidential election:
and every citizen is vitally interested in
the progress of the battle, and cannot
afford to be without sound and reliable
newspaper.
AS an organ, not only of sound Demo-
cratic principles, but as q vehicle of ge-
neral news, the CLEANER is confidently
commended to Southern support. A large
eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns,
filled with the contributions of able cor
respondents, the daily wealth of tele-
graphic communication and readable edi-
torials. Especially will it be valuable as
an organ to disabuse the Northern mind
OF the falsehoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with which it is the
industrious vocation of certain parties to
poison the springs of Northern feeling on
Southern subjects. In this view of the
matter, no more valuable aid to the true
reconstruction o. the country and restora-
ton of just sentiment at the North toward
the South can be rendered than by sub
scribing to the WEEKLY CLEANER and
sondinS it to acquaintances and friends in
the Northern States.

Translated for the Ph9ni.r.
Wesel News---Germnny.

In this city died, some time ago,
the Renter, f. W. ,Rentz, Enten.
market, No. 1925, wen-known per-
sonage, born at Wesel. He was, in
many prospects, an eccentric, queer old
man; always. wore an overcoat and
large beaver hat, which he never
took off, even in o house; always
walked in the streets with small
pipe in his mouth, one hand on his
back. He was we'll liked in company
because his memory was well stored
with anecdotes. He was quiet citi-
zen, and did not give any provoca-
tion to any one-never was married;
four feet six inches high, and hunch-
backed. Whoever did not know him
thought, at the first glance, to dis
cover hunch on his breast, until
they learned that the old gentleman
wore q long beard, plated on his
breast. But good many doubted
this story until, after his death, every
one could convince himself of the
truth. According to his last will,
the physician took off his beard with
the lower skin of his chin, which was
tanned, and the beard, which has
been well preserved, cleaned and
washed thoroughly, is now for show
at the above named house. The
beard is eleven and half feet long,
and half foot wide Into whose
hands this very rare natural curiosity
will come, is not known yet.
The following comical story is told
in the Proc Ne10s, Bremen, Ger
=: many: r.
A shoemaker, who was called on
board on one of the steamers lying
in the harbor to take measure for
boots and shoes, was in the act to
leave the ship. when he saw on ent;c-
ing half-filled tub of butter on
deck; and, thinking himself unob-
served, could not withstand the
temptation to take some of the va
luable contents. Not having any
instruments in his pocket, he made O
bold grasp with his hand and hid
the happy contents in his hat. On
the rapid approach of an individual,
in order not to betray himself, he
put on his hat-nct caring for the
unhappy situation in which he would
be placed by longer staying. The
mate of the steamer, who had wit
messed the whole transaction, calls
the thief back, requesting him to
take his measure for a pair of boots,
just at the moment the latter was to
leave the vessel. After having in
vited the shoemaker, for this pur-
pose, into the cabin, the mate asked
him why he did not put off his hat,
being in such an awful perspiration.
he pretended not to understand, but
the mate, calling the witnesses, he
was compelled to take off his hat,
and the butter, having been melted,
ran down the delinquent's h cad, amid
the universal acciamation of the
crew.. "Old fellow, how YOU ara
perspiringp' In view of this fact
the shoemaker was escorted. not yery
tremendously, out of the cabin.
amidst the laughter and hurrah Of
the crew.

tFrom the Princeton tIll) Republican
a good story is told OF gay and festive
Major, residing in the vicinity Of Princeton,
which is too good to be lost. 1t seems that
the Major has been III the habit OF paying
his ''distlosses" to a young lady, living sew
eral miles i'll the country, and short time
since be sailed out thar as Sambo would
say, TO see his "ducky.' On arriving, he
put up his horse, which, by the way, the
Major regards with feelings Of peculiar
plidc, and entered the house The first
person he met was the young lady's broth
er, with whom the usual compliments pass.
ed. The Major was conducted to 1.-THE par.
lor, and the brother determined to play
practical joke, SO he soon alter engaged in
a political discussion with him. Now this
is one OF the Majors weak points. Hc
viii Sit and talk politics by the hour and
grow SO warm On the subject as to drive ev-
cry other thought from his mind. The
brother knew this and profted by it, knows
ing tull well the real object Of the Major
was to see his sister, who fortunately was
absent at some Of her relatives. The de
bate grew warm, and continued with appsr,
ent animation on the part Of the brother
| until about | ! o clock iii the evening, when.
| observing the time, he remarked that 1t
was growing late, and asked him TO stav all
night. "Pshaw!" exclaimed the astonish-
ed Major, II came to see, where il
she2'' The brother coolly replied that she
was absent on visit, and would not return
Tor several days. 'The d--l you say; and
here you have kept me for Eve hours, when
you knew didn't care darn about talk-
ing with you' Just SO, Major" said
tne brother, but then knew you were
some on politics, and | wanted to seesyou
spread yourself aud as sis was away, /
luought the opportunity Was too good to
allow it 10 escape unimproved!" To say
there was hearty laugh at the expense Of
the Major would be bur faint idea ofWhat
ranspred, and he agreed TO buy the cigars
ii the hrotAsr would say no more about it
which hE didn't, of course. We NAV
mention tho fact that the Major found his
way lack to Priuceton--beg pardon, we.
mean in the vicinity Of Princeton about q
0 clock next morning, and declared that the
next time he went courtug he would leave
politics at home and attend to the legitimate
object Of his visit.
