RATHER PUKES IIM.-Our friend
We)ch, Of the Democratic ConserrutOr,
Of OskaIoosa, is trying to run with the
Democratic party yet, as usual, but 1t
rather pukcs him. Here's what he
said just before the late Democratic
State Conventions
"But it seems that the clique that
runs the party are deficient, either in
sense or honor, To comprehend and
work out the problem before them.
This idea Of meeting from
time To time for the purpose Of placing
i'm nomination some old, broken down
politician as George Gillespie for Gov
ernor, (who cares more for self-glori-
fication than for the success Of the
party, and more for the success Of the
party than for the true principles of
Democracy is the most contemplate
folly"
In his paper Of last Saturday he dis
cusscs the Platform Of that Conven-
ton, and don't seem to like it pretty
well. In summing up, he says that
the Conventions having met and ad-
journed without IA clearIy-detined pol
icy in regard to the 18th Amendment
exhibits virtual and willful aban-
d0nment of the true Democratic Poll
cy, or a total incapacity on the part of
our leaders to comprehend the nature
of the issue.o

SCHOOL MATTERs.--We clip the
following from our neighbor the Dem
Ocrdt of this week. Our remarks OF
last week were written in all earnest
ness, meaning just what they say, in
n kind and proper spirit, as shown on
the very face Of them. The spirit OF
the Democrat, and of its particular
friends, is best shown by the tone OF
it's comment. We deem no further
observations necessary:
"And now, whatever may bc the
various feelings of the people with re-
gard to the Board itself, we would
most earnestly urge that every reason
able confidence and aid should be Civ
en- to the Principal and other Teachers
employed. We have need of their
best efforts and success in our Schools,
and we will be cutting off our own
noses if we don't do all in our power
to make the Schools profitable and
pleasant everyway."- Potter.
Will any one say what necessity
there Is for the organ of the enemies OF
the School Board i'm this City, to utter
the above language? Gentlemen OF
the sorehead persuasion! The Board,
as now organized, is determined to do
the very best It can TO have i'm this
City, the coming year, good school.
The best teachers within reach will be
employed. and the Board intends to
stand by the teachers in their efforts
to make their school n success. The
majority Of our people are at the back
of the Board. The faction who do not
this year, run things, dntotbeground,
can ''bite their noses Off" or not, al
they please. Democrat, 9th.

TILE LADY,S MISTAKE:
OR THE BALLAD OF THE DyEING MAI

q = -hIaDi
OR THE BALLAD OF THE DYEING MAN
It's Of a goodly Knoxville dame,
Whoever she may be,
/ 4 story l will tell 10 you,
| As it was told TO me.
This lady lives in Knoxville town,
4 lady goodly fair,
4 married lady, aud she has
OF children foil her share.
One of her brothers long had been
IL Oregon away,
And was expected home again
At some not distan. day.
This brother is good-looking too,
With hair and whiskers black.
And altogether quite the style
That sisters like to smack.
And row there was a dyeing man
From Oskaloosa came:
\ dapper little chap ne was
i do not know his name.
His hair was black and shiny, and
His whiskers neat and trim.
He want this laiy's brother, but
Looked very much like him.
Ana while he traveled round the town,
In search of goods to dye,
He happened at this lady's house
As he was going by.
And when he Knocked upon the door,
The lady's heart did futter;
For she was feeding her last child,
Too small for bread aud butter.
And looking out to see who knocked,
She felt a sudden thrill;
And up she jumped, and out she spoke:
"Why, It's my brother Will"
SO, thinking naught but love of him,
Such love as sisters feel,
She dropped the babe, and out she ran,
EoOIiltN itdJ tb NfSHhDNtC-
And round this modest young mans
neck
Her loving arms she threw,
And kissed and Rugged him, till she
choked
Him almost black and blue.
ooh! Pm so glad, my brother WHIP
"Tm not your brother, madam;
I never was your brother, and
don't know you from Adam"
"Oh, brother VIII, you needn't talk
You can't come that on me-
And so she Rugged him more and more,
Till he could hardly see.
Still all abashed the young man stood,
And he could only say
He never knew the lady fair,
Nor saw her till that day.
Well, by and by the lady learned
The great mistake she'd made;
And when she let him loose again,
Not long the young man stayed.
But wouldn't he dyeing man
Have been, more ways than one,
If but her husband had come home
And seen that hugging done?
