DiffIdent Men.

When the world was Younger, diff
ident people had much better chance
Of success in it than they have now.
Their modesty found favor with the
wise and good, aud they were helped
along. Pliny, the greatest lawyer Of
his age, recommended quite young
men of his own profession to the pub
lie, and sometimes refused to under
take a cause unless some modest Junior
counsel was associated with him as a
pleader. Lawyers don't do that thing
now. 1t does not answer to implore
the favorable opinion of courts aud
juries; the advocate who expects TO
obtain their assent to his views must
demand it. We have popular speakers
who simply ''make a noise in the world"
Their heads are empty, but their lungs
are strong and their tongues glib. An
ancient writer on oratory says that
flushed face and an expression dashed
with modesty should secure the atten-
tion Of the audience. Alas! these
evidences of difiidence are death to
the prospects of speaker in this age.
A man who over-crows his betters is
pretty sure to take the lead. In law, in
business, IN politics-and sometimes
even in ehurch-this rule holds good.

The November election is less than

Gratis, until recently known as Confed-
rates and rebels, promise to keep quiet
for that time. In other words, they
will do a retail murder business through
the Ku- -Klux Khan, postponiDg whole
sale slaughter, arson and pillage until
they have elected their candidates.
Perhaps, should the October elections
foreshadow victory, they may aptici-
pate little, still we will believe them
honest in promising to be no worse
than they have been, for two months
to come, But what then3 Let US
quote their own language.
The Chattanooga Tenn, Union, of
the 18th inst, admonishes Gen. Forrest
and his friends not to be hasty, and
closes with the following words:
Sutfer any and all taunts or tyranny
Until after Novenber,, and then-well
We would rather be a nimble squirrel
than white Radical. '
The Mobile Tribune grows raptur-
Gus over the prospect and exclaims:
If we are successfulin the approach
ing contest we shall regain all that we
have lost in the ''Lost cause.p We
shall have a country. We shall be
able to, reverse the iron rule which has
been imposed upon. us aud turning that
iron into brands Of fire, hurl them
back on the heads Of the tldgitious
wretches who have inflicted so many
foul and fragrant wrongs on our bleed
ing county. Once. more to the breach
then-=yet once more! And when the
cloud shall have cleared away from the
flaming field, our hag-the Grand
old Confederate fiag-will be: seen in
all its glory, streaming like the thun-
derbolt against the wind. Let US then
rally once more around THE DEAR OLD
FLAG, which we have followed SO often
to glory and victory. Let us plan our
standard in the midst of the field and
let us once more raise the war cry
t'he who doubts is damned; he who
daIlies is bastard"

If Frank Blair is 'the coming man"
Parton need never have asked If he viii
drink wine. If Frank were asked him
self, he would no doubt be honest and
say, "No, thank You, III take whisky"
and the answer would only show bis
faithful devotion to Democratic princi-
ples. The leaders of the party which
has hoisted him as candidate deny,
however, that Frank INDUCES in any
thing, but asserts that be is as temper
ate As Neal Dow himself. Perhaps be
is, when at home-but when abroad,
away from his NANNY, be isn't as We
viii show. 2UC7 E--E
On Sunday, August 3-Only little
over a fortnight ago-Frank Blair was
at St Joseph, Mo-, on his way 10 the
mountains, to attend to his duties as
one of the Commissioners Of the Pacific
Railroad. No train running from st.
Joseph to Council Bluffs, he hired some
railroad laboFers to take him through
on hand car. With full supply Of
Franks favOrite beverages aboard, tbev
started, but on reaching Hamburg,
Fremont County, of this State, they
had become so 'sdemoralizedP that they
laid up for repairs. Arriving there in
the afernoon-and stopping at the
railroad eating house kept by Mr..
Seoyille-the distinguished genius Of
the new revolution had his presence an
nounced to the faithful, who soon came
Aocking 70 pay due homage 10 their
chief. Well It so transpired That they
"homaged" too much, and by s or Q
o'clock the party we're as drunk as even
Democrats ever get, and the "bead
centre" was the bOoziest Of them I'll.
The noise Of the couviyislists attracted
quite a crowd, and It is said that Blair
gave them more antics, cute gags, and
ground-and lofty tamblng, than they
have ever seen in a circus. So drunk
did he finally become, that be was
picked up from the floor aud carried
bodily to bed by two men, and put
away out Of sight of the titteEng crowd.
These statements are true and indis-
putable. We have the testimony Of
several reliable men who saw all We
have related, and more too. Mr. SEQ
vile, the proprietor Of the hotel, ex-
pressed his willingness to make aHi-
davit to the statement, and We defy any
Que to disprove the fact. t

A clever thing is current in Paris of
the younger Dumas, who is said to be
perpetuaIly worried by applications
for his autograph, for epigrams-for, in
fact, the smallest contributions to those
albums of literary testimonials which
it is now SO much the fashion to display
in both French aud English salons.
One day fashionable physician at
some watering-place brought Dumas
bis album and insisted upoa a trife
from the lion, who found himself fairly
caught in the tolls. Dumas wrote, and
the smiling physician, Dodding to his
friends, looked over the authors shout
der. Following Dumas pen, be read I:
$50 great is N. T-'s THE pbysi-
clans name skill, so marvellous his his
success, that since he has practiced IN
this place three out of five hospitals
have been pulled down as useless"
The physician, was delighted with
the fiattery, interrupted him, protesting
that the compliment was too great,
was undeserved, and so forth. Dumas
begged to be allowed to finish the SEN
tence, and the permission being gladly
given he continued:
''and in their stead it has been found
to build too aelO cemeteries !"
Dumas the younger wasn't asked to
write in that album again.

Dr.. Franklin remarks that man as

spends in informing his mind, as he
does for a dollar laid out in any other
way. A man eats a pound of sugar
and it is gone, and the pleasure he has
enjoyed is ended, but the information
he gets from a newspaper is treasured
up to be enjoyed anew, and to be used
whenever occasion or inclination call
for it A newspaper is not the wisdom
of one man or two men; it is the wis
dom of the age, and of past ages too.
A family without newspaper is al
ways a year behind the times in gener-
al information; besides they can never
think much nor find much to talk
about And then there are the little
ones growing up without any taste for
reading. Who, then, would be with

Some years ago the poet Longfellow
was coming from his home in the
morning, when a venerable-looking
man aecosted him inquiring if he
could tell him the location of the house
which was formerly the headquarters
Of George Washington. "This is the
house, sir" replied the poet. "Do
you suppose that l could get chance
to see the inside Of it." queried the
old gentleman. "Certainly," contin-
ued Mr.. LougGellow. Il reside here,
and should be happy to show you over
the premises" They entered and
passed through the different rooms,
and the historic associations of the
place were recalled by Mr. L. When
he concluded, the visitor quietly turned
round aud said, "May l ask your
name!" sob, yes" responded the
author; "my name is Longfellow."
One would have supposed that the
fame Of Mr.. LOngfellow must have
reached the individual who was the
recipient of so much courtesy; but
after musing awhile, and repeating the
name slowly two or three times, as if
endeavorihg 10 call some past assoeia-
tion, he exclaimed; "Any relation to

Brick POmrOy1s Opinion Of
Grant and the RPpubliCam
Party-APPeal To Demo
Gratis.
From the La Crosse Democrat, Aug. Isl
Can you tell why the God-aad-
morality party nominated Grant for
President of these Uuited States!
Is any one simple enough to suppose
that they did SO merely because tbey
desired for that office a stupid ass!
No doubt they were willing to place
there a creature iusuffsrably stupid.
That is ia keeping with their profound
craftsmanship. Grant is a fit successor
of the Late Lamented in this paIticu-
lar. Mr.. Washburne can whisk Grant
around as he pleases; be can use him
for such dirty work as shall be neces-
sary. And the party can whisk Mr.
Washburne around as often as may be
necessary. Grant is made Of the
right stuff for a Republican President.
He is
A drunksrd.
A butcher of men.
A seeker after spoils.
The great national murderer,
A betrsyer.
A Fool.

5. Make arrangements that will

NEGRO SwISDLING-A COUNTRY DARKY
V1cT1MIzED.-A day or two ago Henry
Cozzens, Il good -natured plantation hand,
working with Mr.. John E. Jones, of Hen
rico county, came to Richmond with fifteen
dollars-hard- earned wages-in his pocket.
In the suburbs he was accosted by we'll
dressed mulatto, who proposed that as their
route was the same, they should walk down
town together. The stranger was rather
prepossessing in his appearance and en-
pertaining in conversation, so Henry en-
ioyed his company until they reached the
Fredericksburg depot, on Broad street,
when second strange darky came on the
scene. No. seemed well acquainted with
No. /, and after cordial hand-shaking
hauled out q ten-dollar note, which he asked
his friend to change. Unfortunately, No.
didn't have cent about him, and said so,
when up spoke the unsophisticated Henry.
He thought he could do it for the gentle
man, and obligingly pulled out twelve dol
lars in notes of various denominations.
He was carefully counting out the money
on his knee, when darky No. suddenly
grabbed it, and put out at the top OF his
speed.
Henry followed the rogue, but soon lost
sight Of him, and, returning to the depot,
was ruefully surveying the scene OF his
misfortunes. While thus engaged, another
darky came up, and in a sympathetic tone
asked what was the matter. Henry told
him. "Well," said No. 3, {" am glad |
come along. Pm put heah by Mr.. Hunnl-
cutt jess for such things as dat ar" He
then told the country negro that he had
seen the whole transaction, and would
show him where the rogue had hid himself.
Off they went then down toward the wooden
row this side the Central depot. Here they
paused, and Hunnicutt's detective told the
swindled darky to stay at the front door
and watch while he went in the rear. In
order to disguise himself, the detective sug-
gested an exchange of hats, which was joy
fully agreed to by Henry, who forgot that
he had that morning paid three dollars TOR
his own, while the other was not worth flVe
cents. The detective then went into the
alley, and Henry saw him no more, though
he waited fully on hour for the wished.tor
denoue,nert. Finally, he realized his situ-
ation-Sl2 and new hat stolen-and put
back to the farm at once. lie vows now
that he will never come to Richmond with
out Mass'r John, and declares himself an
out-and-out i" Conservative niger"
