A Sick Radical.

A leading Radical politician,
who was formerly a whig, has be-
come heartily sick and tired, he
says, of voting for renegade Demo
Gratis for President and Vice Pres
ident. He hasn't forgotten John
Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew
johnson and others. In commu-
nication to the Rock Island Argus,
he says:
"It is strange that our people
learn nothing by experience. 1t
seems to me that one renegade
Democrat is enough at time. In
1864 we took up the renegade
Democrat Johnson. The result is
well known. Now we have NOM
mated two renegade Democrats
Grant and Colfax, both of whom
have less brains than Andy
Grant is mere nobody in civil af-
fairs, and drunkard and nothing
anyhow. Colfax, until he turned
Republican, was the editor of n
one-horse weekly democratic news
paper. If they should be elected
the Democrats will Tylerize both
of them in three months"

Strange Fact.

1t is said that the instant a la
dy places her hand against a tree
on which katydid .is singing, the
insect ceases its noise. A male
persons touch does not make it
cease SO suddenly, though by
waiting a short time the same eff
feet is produced. If one or two
or three fingers are applied, katy
is not disturbed, but the moment
the open hand is laid against the
tree its song ceases. One would
naturally suppose that it occurs
from the shock of placing the
hand against the tree, but this
reason is insufficient, because the
result succeeds when the hand is
placed as gently and delicately as
a person can apply it. You may
pound a tree with stick and ka-
ty's song will not cease. There
must be an explanation in the
electrical sympathy or shock
that the person furnishes to the
medium of the wood. That this
is no vagary or nonsense, but q
positive assertion, can easily be
tested by experiment.

Curiosity in Telegraphing

The. St. Louis Times of late
date says:
'sOn the 1st instant a young
man, a Virginian by birth, came
from New Orleans to act as receiv-
er for the associated press report
at this point. He isa young man
of intelligence, but deaf as a post.
He lost his hearing some years
ago, and then learned the art of
telegraphy, in which he has be-
come remarkably adept. His name
is S. J. Hoffman, and his method
of receiving a report is exceeding
ly interesting. Good operators re.
ceive by the ear, the clickings of
the instrument being to them like
audible reading, each letter and
word being ticked off as distinctly
as though spelled out by the hu-
man voice. Not hearing single
sound, he places his hand around
the working instrument, or pla-
cling his knee against the operating
table, by his peculiar and sensitive
nerves feels each vibration so dis
tinctly that he is able to surpass
ordinary receivers in the accuracy
of his reports. He hears nothing
about him, is never disturbed, and
consequently works in a silent
world of his own. In this condi-
tion his memory has become won
derfully retentive, and, as a conse-
quence, his manuscript is exceed
ingly correct, while his chirogra-
ply is excellent-a decided i'm
provement in our. telegraphic re-
ports for some time past, except a
brief interval. Mr.. Hoffman can
speak, and audibly answers ques-
tions put to him. The mode of
communication the telegraph boys
have with him is to tick off, as on
an instrument, upon his hand, or
the back of his neck, such things
as they desire to say to him. This
is by no means tedious, as the pro-
cess is quite as rapid as an ordina-
ry drum beat. To see him taking
the report is really interesting.

Camp Meeting Prices.

The Martha's Vineyard cores
pondent of the Boston Ad0ertaser
says:
Any one who wishes to buy a
new carriage, or yoke of oxen,
or to build small house, or pur-
chase a piece of land, comes to
camp meeting with meat or milk
or vegetables, or lets tents, or takes
boarders, or keeps barber shop,
and in any one of these ways
they are sure to accomplish their
desires. The colored brother

charges he is no whit behind his
lighter-skinned neighbor. | step

A Jealous Wife.

A we'll known official of Nash

ance out buggy-riding, without as
much as mentioning the matter to

ended as we'll as it commenced, all

lord had departed on his ride, ac-

ject of her jealousy. She follow
ed them like a keen detective over

satisfaction of nearing them on the
Public Square, about 5 o'clock, P.
M. The official saw that he was
followed, and wishing to avoid a
collision, which he knew to be un-
pleasant, halted near the court
house, jumped out, and beat a
hasty retreat to the second story
of that institution, where he effect
ually concealed himself. His COM
panion did not escape SO easily, for
before she could reach a place of
safety she was overtaken by the
enraged wife, who flaming with
the furious tempests of a jealous
soul, pitched into her with a right
good will, making her cry "hold

The New York Times has
Fears.

The New York Times has fears
that the negro legislators of South
Carolina are in danger of insisting
upon measures tlat must in the
end react most damagingly upon
the prospects of the freedmen
These fears arise from the reeep-
ton by it of the following dis
patch from Columbia:
"The House has passed the bill
putting the negroes of the State
on equal footing with the whites.
The colored members demand the
right to hotel tables, beds and all
other licensed places"
Commenting upon the dispatch,
which the Z inaeS thinks had bet
ter be taken "with a grain of salt,
it nevertheless says: "We must
assure the colored lawmakers of
the South, and their friends, that
the very worst possible thing they
can do is to act in such a way as
to bring about revulsion of feel
ing throughout the country against
"negro pretensions."
No "grain of salt" nor grain
of sugar either, taken by the
Times can prevent what it appre-
hends-a revulsion of feeling
throughout the country against
"negro pretensions" with regard
to legislation and the holding of
Office. Let alone to act for them
selves, these negro legislators would
do bad enough; but, counseled
by bad white men of the Radical
stripe, there is no telling how far
they would 60, and what they
would assume, in their vain and
arrogant pretersions to become
the equal of the white man, Sc
cially and politically. To eat at
the same hotel tables, and to sleep
in the same beds, would not suffice.
Under the counsel of bad white
men-such, for instance, as one of
whom we knew few days ago
being ordered to quit his boarding
house in this city for having de-
clared that he had no objection to
his daughter marrying a negro,
they would arrogate to themselves
even that privilege. The Times
may we'll have its fears of negro
Legislation and negro Legislators
when they have the power: and
if we mistake not the "signs of
the times," that 'revulsion of feel
ing through the country against
negro pretensions" which it thinks
may come, has already come, and
is growing in intensity. The
Z imes is too late in It's warning.

A Miscegenating School
Marin.

The Trenton (Tenn.) Gazette
of the 10Th says.
twill be remembered by many
of our citizens that seedy, dlla-
pidated woman from East Tennes-
see, was here some time ago seek
ing a situation as "school marm, ="
but failing to get board among
them she was compelled to seek
other quarters. Some of our 10y
al whites sympathized deeply
with her, and paid her fare to
Humbolt, or Jackson. Afew days
ago she was arrested in Jackson,
where she had been plying her
vocation, and was tried and con-
victed of miscegenation. She
threatened, however, to infllct
that town with the militia unless
she was released, and the Magis-
trate, knowing the influence such
persons exercise with the Legis-
lature, told her to go and sin no
more. The negro man was fined.

A Mistake to be Corrected
Tho Dovtor (0hiol Te1oer savs :.

The Dayton (Ohlo) Ledger says: ::
"There is a clerical or typeg-
raphical error in the Democratic
platform, which does not appear
to have been heretofore noticed.
1t is in the eighth resolution,
which declares against 'the o6so-
lute doctrine of immutable allegi-
ance," which should read: ''obso-
zete doctrine of immutable allegi-
ance;" a very wide difference GER
tainly. This clause is expressive
of the sentiment of the Democrat
ic party, opposed to the Euro
pean doctrine, "once citizen al
ways a citizen" 1t was intended
to declare that the naturalized cit
izen was entitled to all the rights
and protection abroad to which a
native-born citizen was; and hence
the correction is an important one.
We invite the attention OF our
contemporaries to the correction,
and suggest that they give it in
their columns"

the table lay ''M. de Camors," 0c-

it. He is surprised to find a num-
Der of words underlined with q
lead pencil, not beautiful passa-
ges," but such as 81" and "you,"
or "and." He turns over one leaf,
two leaves, three leaves, and finds
everywhere the same thing. Sud-
denly an idea occurs to him, for
fathers having beautiful daughters
are exceedingly keen-sighted in
certain matters. He tries to cou-
meet the underlined words, and his
petrified eyes read as follows /:
"Dearest Mademoiselle, ,-will-it-
nsult-you-if-I-tell-you-that-I

OF the most gushing description,
and closing with the suggestive
words: "Answer-in-the-next-chap-
ter" "Wait, you rascal" cries
the father, 81 will give you your
answer" So saying he takes q
lead pencil, underlines some words
in the next chapter, wraps the book
in piece of paper, and hands it
to his footman, whom he instructs
to take it back to the sentimental
young gentleman. The latter
opens his volume, his heart throb-
bing like a sledge hammer, and-oh,
Joy ! finds that words are under

reads as follows : "H-you-impu-
