Rit of The Minanns.

These people are remarkably Quick
Witted and are as keen ia their replies
as as a Damascus blade. / remember
once Iasked q native, in the language
of Job, Can a clean thing come
out of an unclean thiDg? | had
hardly finished the sentence before
he replied: Does not the lotus
come from the mud?" You must
remember the lotus is the most beau
tifuI of all flowers. Here is another
instance: a missionary was once
preaching in the streets, when a
Brahmin came up aud asked the
preacher "if he might ask him a
question:" OF course the request
was granted. Said the Brahmin :
. Did you ever observe how the little
monkey clings to the back OF the old
monkey, holding fast to its parent
with all its little strength? Well,
sir, you are that little monkey, and
the big monkey you cling to is your
God. Your faith holds you on. Now,
| am like little kitten, who is per-
fectly helpless, but still the old cat
takes it by the neck and carries it 90
a place of safety. So you see that
although I.have no faith, am pro
vided for. These Brahmins are
natural orators. They have a wealth
of comparison, a facility Of express
sion, and treasure of illustration
which is perfectly wonderful.

FearfnI FOIk,

Fearful folk are always on the
brink of ruin. They cannot wait to
see how things will turn before they
despair, and they cannot hope for the
best In bad pass. They are engulf-
cd in abysses that never open, and they
die q thousand deaths before the
supreme moment actually arrives.
The smallest difficulties are to them
like the straws placed crosswise, over
which no witch could pass; beneticent
action of time, either as q healer of
sorrow or q revealer of hidden mer-
eies, is a word of comfort they cannot
accept for themselves, how true So
ever it may be for others; the doctrine
that chances are equal for good, as
we'll as for bad is what they will not
understand; and they know of no
power that can avert the disaster.
which perhaps Is simply possibility
not even probable, or which their
own fears only have arranged. If they
are professional men, having to make
their way, they are forever antic-
ipating failure to- day and absolute
destruction for tomorrow; and they
bemoan the fate of the wife and
children sure to be left to poverty by
chances are ten to one in favor of the
apportioned threescore and ten years.
Life is a place of suffering here, and
q place of torment hereafter; yet
they often wish to die, reversing
Hamlet's decision by thinking the
mystery of unknown ills preferable
to the reality of those they have on
hand. Over such minds as these the
vaticination of such a prophet as
DIR. Cumming have peculiar power (;
and they accept his gloomy interpre-
Iations of the Apocalypse with faith
as unquestioning as that with which
they accept the Gospels. They have
a prediction indeed for all terrify-
ing prophecies, and cast the horo-
score of the earth and toretell the de-
struction of the universe with mar
velous exactitude. Their minds are
set to the trick of foreboding, and
they live In the habit of fear, as 9TH
ers live In the habit of hope, of resig-
nation, or of careless good humor and
indifference. There is nothing to be
done with them. Like drinking, or
palsy, or a nervous headache, or a
congenital deformity. the habit is
hopeless when once established; aud
those who have begun by fear and
suspicion and foreboding. will live to
: the end in the atmosphere they have
created for themselves. The man or

The Hon. LEWIS LINDsEY-whose un-
happy state of inebriation on Saturday
was noticed in this paper, together with the
fact that he went to get sober to that room
in the Enquirer where is generated the
vapor that runs the machine-got entire
possession of his legs and lungs by Monday
evening, when he Numbered at the doors Of
the capitol. It was reported that on Sa-
turday he pawned his brass horn for a
drink-horn for horn-and became obliVi-
Gus afterwards as to who held the horn as
security for the liquor drank. Whether he
got it or not, is not reported. He blew Co.
vernon WELLs's horn, however, with great
vim. L. L. is the especial antagonist of
the Rev. FIELDS Cook, candidate for Con-
gress; and endeavors to choke that gentle
man off wherever he goes. L. L. devotes
himself and horn entirely to the carpet
baggers, and works like slave to help
on the scapegrace PORTER against man
Of his own color who is well known in this
community. This is jealousy-the honora-
Bile inebriate can't bear to see q colored
man sent to Congress ahead of himself.
FIELDS is intelligent and persistent, and
sees through the carpet-baggers. He talks
sense. L1NDsEYis mere gabbler. FIELDS
will shine in triumph while LINDSEY is
extinguished ina horn.

The Radical CrocodileS.

The ultra Radicals are like crocodiles
inhabiting great Black Sea in the State.
The sea is theirs, and ell they drug in from
the land is so much clear gain. So they
practice all their arts to take their prey
from the shore. They lift up their moi
some bodies upon the land, and by crying,
and feiguing, and one trick and another,
they get their jaws upon the deluded, and
soon drag them beneath the waters Of the
Black Sea.
The crocodile is fit representative Of
the demagogue--like him, cold, cunning,
and bypocritical; like him, offensive and
disgusting. The Radical demagogue with
us bases all his calculations Of being
elected to Office upon the negro vote.
There lies his hope. That is his great
Black Sea. He ccuntsupon that as certain.
Yet he wants some help from the outside.
He must either get pretty good white
vote, or he must divide the white vote, or
he will be defeated; and so he devotes
himself to strengthening his position,
dragging down victims into the Black Sea,
or getting those who are opposed to him
a-fghting among themselves, that he may
capture them, and so bring them at Lost
under the black deluge Of black govern
ment. What filthy and hateful thing is
the crocodile and yet we are inclined to
ask his pardon for comparing him with the
Radical demagogue
No man can be familiar with the arts
and strategy Of the ultra Radicals of this
State without admitting the entire force of
the above comparison. Their principal
organ is constantly engaged in disparaging
and traducing the character Of the people
Of Virginia. Yet, knowing that they must
get portion Of the white votes to secure
triumph to its party, it undertakes to divide
the whites into classes, and affects to be o
warm friend Of the poor and the mechanic.
It denounces class it pleases to call pam
pered and proud, and sheds its crocodile
tears of sympathy over the humble and
laboring man. These it would pay the
highest of tributes Of which it is capable
that they are as good as the colored people,
and ought to be entitled to hold office
Could there be more absurd sugges-
ton at this time than that there is an
aristooracy in this State? Who is it that
can insult this oppressed people with such
slsngS In no State in this Union at any
time was there better and kinder feeling
towards true merit than in this State of
Virginia; nor was there ever State whose
public stations were filled by larger pro-
portionate number Of men who had risen
from poverty. Great riches we never had.
The distinctions were in the main based on
merit. Our term g gentleman belonged
to poor and rich, and some Of The reccg-
nized true gentlemen Of Virginia whom We
have known were amongst the poorest Of
the people. @ @
But ne have become used to insult and
defamation from the hungry imported
leeches who are never full enough of
blood--not the blood of the battle field, but
the blood drawn from the veins Of the peo-.
pie tied down and helpless--ths blood
which oozes out in agony upon the surface

NORTHERN LADIES ENTERING THE
BREACH The smart women of the North,
after long assailing the solid earthworks Of
the men, have made breach, and are
making the most Of it. Having established
club called Sorosis," in which they dis
cuss what is called "social SCIENCE" they
inveigled number Of poor male dupes
into association with them, and have inau-
gurated series of club dinners, to which
the men are rather compelled than allured
to 90, and where they have to sit quietly
and listen to the pretty canaries and passee
magpies chatter away. Their dinner Of
Saturday night at DELMoNICo's gave the
fair sisters infinite satisfaction. They
were chiefly RECALLED on tea, and the men on
talk. STERNE said there came down from
Heaven ten measures of garrulity, and the
ladies took nine. The ladies have been in
clined to believe this, and deeming that
they have been denied their share of public
defamation, have asserted their claim at
DELMoNICo's. Their masculine guests be-
came firm believers in STERNE's statement.
The march Of the fair insurgents is possibly
"on to Richmond" Let the Enquirer
tremble

what looks like systematic crusade against
President GRANT and his administration,

" sonal and party rancor which has hitherto
" been mainly restricted to the World.

lSore-Headisna.

There is an unusual amount Of "sore
headism - in the North. The multitude of
"the sore-head persuasion the disap-
pointed ofice-hunters-is greater than at
any former period in the history Of the
country; and that, too, Notwithstanding
that the northern States have pretty much
an the Government. patronage divided
amongst themselves. 1t appears that with
the increase Of pap thus given to those
States there has been more than proper
tionsts increase of expectants, who have
grown yoraoious and clamorous to q degree
without precedent. This is altogether ma
tursl. The beasts of prey are generally
in proportion to the supply Of oarrion, and
they grow moro and more ravenous as food
is multiplied.
The editorial profession has entered the
ring Of ofice-hunters with unwonted, vim
and eagerness. A sop here and there has
fred the expectations Of many whose am
bition has been quite lofty. Foreign mis-
sions we're considered peculiarly appropri-
ate to editors but General GRANT appears
to have had different opinion, which does
not look like fixing up for second term.
He has been charged with making his ne
glect Of the press conspicuous. In this we
think he is right. The press ought to be
kept pure But the honorable editors do
not ell consider that somewhat of the
honors and Q liberal bowl or two Of the pap
Of the Government are detrimental to the
integrity Of the honorable community.
They take occasion to let the world know
tina. II they have not been made ministers
they do not think those that have been
appointed are very proper men for the
responsible positions of representatives
abroad. The New York Times, for instance,
says: -"
The changes made by General Grant,
though they do not elevate our foreign SER
vice, and will not greatly improve it either
IN character or credit, do not disgrace it.
They have been too generally treated as
coin, for the payment Of personal or politi-
cal oohg cations, and eyince no very thorough
knowledge Of the qualifications required for
effective service in the foreign field. The
assignment 1is conspicuously the work Of 8
man new to this special departme nt-of
ono clearly not familiar with what is want
cd, or With the way to get it. We may look
1er good many blunders and moro fail
ufes; but We may reasonably hope to
escape absolute discredit."

o, neuralgia. But still we mus. side with
