The Radical politicians are greatly

terdsy we met q gentleman from Maui
I, county, who furnished us tho fol-
lowing facts which he vonchcs to be
true:
A few days ago, at or in the iAme-
diate neighborhood of Mt. Pleasant, a
mysterious night prowler appeared at
the houses of various citizens, offering
them indignities, insults and threats,
and alarming one family to such a de-
gree that they were leaving the neigh
borhood He wore a mask or cowl,
and his dress was that ascribed to the
Ku, Klux. In his wanderings he finally
reachedthe house ofa quiet respecta-
BILE family, and began his usual rough
treatment Of the inmates. A young

probe the mystery and expose the
wretch, whoever lie might be. He &C.
cordingly stepped to his room and re-

Klux couldn't resist the touching ap-
peal, down came the mask, and the liv-

at length on the question. In the course
of his remarks he said:

Senate what shall be doue with Lati.

There were some WHO said, ''disfran-

who said subject them or reduce them
to vasalagc to their slaves. But old
Camillus, in that speech which reveal
ed his greatness and made his name
immortal, said, "Senators, make them
your fellow citizens, and thus add to
the power and glory Of Rome" Mr..
Doolittle added SIN this high place,

A prominent advertisement once OF

address. H3i''p
Don't take down your sign in dull
times. People read newspapers all
times OF the year.
II business admits of it, several small
advertisements, with your name repeat
ed every time, will avail more than the

once.
Don't fear to have a small advertise
ment by the side of u larger competing
one. The big mi can't eat it up.
Small advertisements, and u plenty
of them, is y good rule. We were all
babies once, yet We made considerable

something worth advertising.
