A Clerical AnecdOte.

The Reverend Samuel Clawson, a
Methodist minister Of eccentric manners
sometimes called the wild man" was
very popular in West Virginia some fif-
teen or twenty years ago. He was cross
eyed and wiry made, and very dark skin
ned for white man. At times he was
surprisingly eloquent, always eXcitable,
aud occasionally extravagant He once
accompanied brother minister, Mr. R.,
a prominent pastor, on a visit to a colored
church Mr.. R. gave the colored preach
er the hint. and of course Clawson was
invited to preach. He did so, and dur,
ing the sermon set the impulsive Afri-
cans to shouting, all over the house.
This, in turn, set Clawson to extrava-
CANT words and actions, and he leaped
out of the pulpit and mixed in quite hap
PLY. He wept for JOY. Then, pressing
through the crowd. he found brother r.. !,
and sitting down beside him he threw
his arms around his neck, and with tears
streaming down his cheeks, he said -
Brother R.. / almost wish | had been
/ orn Niger. These folks have more
religion than we have" well we'll :"
said brother r., you come so near it
that you needn cry about it. -

Still Another.

The last issue of the Fond du Lac
Courier, puts up the Democratic ticket
and in its editorial notice of the candi-
dates says:
With the exception of Charles D. Rob-
lnson, the candidate for Governor, the
ticket is one of the best ever chosen by
the Democracy of Wisconsin. 1t. fairly
represents every portion of the State,
and the German Irish and Scandinavian
American citizens have each represen-
tative theron. We have not time to
speak at length of the qualifications of
each candidate. With the exception
ADORE make, they are all worthy Of the
votes of every Democrat in the State,
and will receive the earnest and hearty
support of our Democratic friends. -
And closes its notice with the following
cheerful paragraph:
As soon as we have thoroughly digest
ed the "aohole DOSE we will feel better
able to put our forces upon war foot
ing"
We do not wonder that the Sat. Clark
stripe of Democrats feel that Charley
Robinson is whole dose" f them to
take, but it will do them good, even
though they never have the opportunity
of addressing him as Governor of Wis

The Democracy Changed.

The Democracy of Wisconsin have as
sembled in Convention, nominated tic
ket and adopted platform, as all ex-
pected they wo'd do, but the action of
this Convention astonished many a de-
voted adherent to their former disloyal
enunclations, and created general Hut
| ter in the camp of the niger hating
war-denouncing followers Of that party,
which is somewhat amusing. In fact the
party has changed its front, the old rab-
i'd Democrats having turned over the con-
troll of the Convention to the 'sconserva-
tive or progressive" democracy. 1t
was apparent to the leaders that still
more crushing defeat was inevitable this
fall than ever before, unless change of
base was Instituted They had not been
guilty of uttering loyal sentiment or
entertaining loyal opinion for several
years past, but, like the sailor in the
storm, all agreed that something must
be done,' and they accordingly said to
their brethren - Nominate your tic
ket and draw up your platform, but give
us patriotism in homeopathic proportions,
as our stom-achS will revolt at ANYTHING
like the usual dose.
Accordingly this Convention gobl led
up some of the remnants of the old Re
publican flag-wh;ch had Teen laid aside to
commemorate past victories won ana
their places supplied with new material
representing live isSues--patched them
up, and formed banner under which
they propose to ralley in the present
campaign. By this means they secured
several fragments of old Republican prin
ciples, and adroitly engrafted them into
resolutions, but, with their usual cunning
were careful to avoid any positive ex
presslons upon the live issues of the day.
This new dodge will not work, gentle
men, even if you had adopted the Re-
publican platform entire. The loyal
masses of Wisconsin prefer to follow the
lead of the good party which conceived
these principles, placed them before the
people and achieved results which won
for them their present popularity-de
spite the bitter and determined opposi-
ton of both conservative" and rabid
democracy-rather than the advice of
those who adopt them for the simple
reason that they have the strength which
sweeps from before them all opposition.
We will lend you our rla'form if you like
1t: but we can take no stock in your empt'
professions, unless you confirm them by
supporting that class of men who,
through their honest and untiring efforts
in behalf OF liberty, have gained for our
principles popularity which it is mad
ness TO oppose.
The leavcn is working, and from pre- s.
cnt indications you will all be good Re
pnbltcans in few years -Euu Glare

General Butler tells the following
good story While he was in command
in New Orleans, native Louisiana was
observed one day by wag reading a star
