The following anecdote may or may not
be true, but it ought to be, because it is SO
natural 1t is said that just after the New
York election, an irate politician, of that
city called at the Tribune office, and found
H. g." in his sanctum, standing up at
the old high desk, quill-driving like short

Greeley, charge you with betraying the
best interests of your party. You are q
secret foe to Radcalism. You do US more
harm than you do good. Cohfound it, If
you'd 90 over to tie Democrats, body and
soul, it would be the best thing you could DO.
You stay with the Republicans and stab
them in the dark. You are the worst enc
my Rsdicalism ever had in the country.
once thought you honest, though / knew you
to be fool Now I'll swear you are
scoundrel and an IDIOT" Here the de-
nouncer paused to take breath, as he had
several times before, expecting II. G. to
make some defense, or, at least reply to the
ferocious charges. But he was disappointed.
The veteran journalist remained at his desk,
apparently unconcerned, still scribbling at
his editorial. The politician attempted to
give vent to another burst of indignation,
but he was so mad he couldn't speak, and
after splutter of epithets, hurried to the
door. The philosopher then lifted his head
for the first time, and called out, in his high
shrill voice: "Don't go off in that way,
my friend. Come back and relieve your
mind"

A JERsEYMAN OUTwITTED.-A cunning
trick was performed in Newark, New Jersey,
recently. A stranger, who pretended to be
tipsy, slipped on the step in front of a ma
chinery wareroom, near the Market street
depot, and broke large plate glass window.
The proprietors demanded payment, but the
man pretended that he had no money. One
OF the partners then proposed that the culprit
should be searched. This was done, and the
owner of the window was rewarded by find
ing one hundred dollar bill in his pocket
He immediately changed the bill, and after
taking out twelve dollars for damages, hand
ed the inebriate eighty EIGHT dollars. To
this the stranger made no objection, but
staggered off, and was soon lost to sight. In
short time the machinests had occasion to
make deposit, and sent the one hundred
dollar bill to the bank 1t was returned as
. counterfeit. The stranger has not been
seen since, and, if arrested, he could not be
prosecuted, as he did not attempt to pass the
Dill. This is q new dodge.

MoRGANArIc MARRrAGEs.-Everyb has
heard the term I" morganatic marriages."
and many suppose that marriages of this kind
are species of eoncubinage, in which the
kings and princes of Europe are fond of
indulging. This is not the case, however.
A morganatic marriage is just as binding
upon the parties as any other, and precudes
any other marriage. The term is derived
from the German Morgangrabe, which means
n dowry. 1t signifies matrimonial contract
in which one of the parties is inferior in
rank to the other. If it be the bride who is
of inferior rank. she agrees that she and
family shall be entitled neither to the rank
nor the estate of her husband, and that the
dowry which is settled upon her at the time
of the marriage shall be accepted by her in
lieu of other privileges. If the man be infe-
rior. he gives his assent to similar conditions.
In the bridal ceremony the party of superior
rank gives the left hand instead of the right
to the other whence these marriages are
some times styled left handed.'

Ar the time of registration here, (says a

get some negroes Ia few to register at all.
Here is one instance that can DE proven by
twenty different persons. l give his correct
name, John Pickett, and everybody knows
him. He walked into the store of Messrs.
Wilson, where registration was going on,
and here is the dialogue: o M
W.-Well, John, going to register?
J.-No, Sir. l amt.
W.-Why? You ought to.
J.-Well, you see, master, Use got cholera

W.-What has that to do with it?

J.-Now, you can't fool dis niger; if
wus to register and die before the election,
when they call my name and | amt there,
they be sure and fine me.
W.-IIow the devil do you suppose they
would fine you?
J.-Look here. I've been down to the
Court House many time, and l knows very
well that when the Clerk calls mans name
and he amt there, they fine him sure.
In spite of everything we could say, the
negro would not register he just stuck to

PLANTATION BITTERs.

This splendid Tonic is now used by all classes
of people for every symptom of "Stomach out
Of order"
The secret of it is this: Plantation Bitters are
certain tocorreet the juices of the Stomach, set all
its machinery at work. and enable it to resist and
throw off the approaching danger. The tendency
of tho operations of Nature is always towards q
cure all she needs is little assistance at the
proper time. How much more reasonable and
sensible it is to help her along with gontle, yet
powerful Tonic, than to deluge and weaken and
defeat her curative processes with poisonous drugs
and fiery mixtures, which only stupefy and plant
the seeds Of disease and death.

CHARMED BY SNAKE.--A woman named
Somers, residing in Worcester, Pennsylvania,
went into the orchard to gather some fruit,
and left her little babe, less than year old,
sitting upon the ground. She soon passed
out of sight of the child, but hearing his
voice cooling and laughing, she gave herself
no uneasiness. Suddenly the sounds ceased,
and she stepped around to him. supposing
him asleep. But, to her horror, she saw
him perfectly mstionless, his lips parted, and
his eyes fixed upon an enormous rattlesnake
that was approaching him by almost i'm
perceptible motions. She looked in vain for
some stick or stone to kill the monstrous
reptile, then quick as thought sprang toward
it, overturning the pan which she had in
her hand so as to effectually cover its body,
got upon it and screamed for help. The
covering of the snake broke the spell upon
the child, its little body swayed to and fro.
and it quickly crept toward the heroic
mother. In few minutes friends came to
her relief, and the cause of her terror was
dispatched

We have notfor years taken up a

graphic and picturesque, and his op-
portunities for information of the
best. But it is not merely as a book
of travels, even though these travels
were through the Southern States that
we prize the work; it is. for the COM
pleteness of its information on the
whole subject of reconstruction, &c.
The book is a complete manual OF

clan and the political eanYasser, but
for every one who desires (and who
is there that does not2) to understand
the great questions of the time, and tc
know who is in the right, Congress OF

Here are detailed carefully, and from
the most authentic sources, every step
in the reconstruction policy of the
President, and the reconstruction acts
of Congress, with the effect of each on
the South, and the triumph Of the
congressional plan in effecting a reor-
ganIzation under which the recusant
States could be admitted to their old
status.
