The Provoking Lover.

I cannot lightly talk and smile,

And too much yoxed TO ory;
So, Anne, do enlight nc
My hope is all in you;
I'm sure don't know what he means,
And can't toll what 10 do.
Last night when Charlie talked to me,
Though he was kind AMI good,
He cd like an injured man,
Who suffered oil he could;
'Twoull he pretty way to bo
Without the asking led;
II he wishes me TO take him,
'Tis very easy said.
One day he asked me Il I thought,
When to another wed.
I'd ever breathe n sigh for him,
because his hopes were dead
And if did not think he'd feel
Disconsolate and sad!
I'm sure otn't tell how he'd feel
know that I'd feel bad.
lie said he wished to know my heart
His own was te' with doubts;
II hc'd only ask me what think
OF him, he'll find it out:
SO what to think, or how 10 act,
I'm sure do not know
But if he wants 10 marry inc,
wish he'd tell me go.

RATHER GRREDY.-It seems as though
our good friends in Memphis would like
to fll all the offices in the State if possi-
BILE. In fact they never allow anything
in the shape of an Office to escape them
if they have "half a show. Just as
soon as vacancy occurs for any posi-
ton, great or small, in which there is
either honor or profit, that Memphis has
the least shade Of claim on or to which
one of her citizens is even eligible, we
find the old sharks down there immedi-
ately setting the triggers to "gobble 1t
up AT the present writing they de-
mand the Congressman, are buslly en-
gagged in stocking the card" for the
Senator, and have even made dip for
the Floater They go for all in sight
.SomerriHe Falcon.
Not if the court knows herself and
she think she do" We care not SO greedy
as all that comes to. Last year we
yielded the hoater" to Fayette without
a murmur. We have urged no candi-
date for Governor, leaving that office to
Middle Tennessee, and believing that it
made no difference from what section OF
the State our gallant standard-bearer
might hail. Memphis with her wealth
and population, and the vast amount of
taxes she pays, has secured very little
political power in legislation-yery much
below what she should have. The Fall
con is cruel fowl, and rather rapacious
in disposition. 1t should remember that
Somerville as well as all the contiguous
towns are but suburbs Of Memphis, and
what contributes to her prosperity nee
essarily promotes theirs. Should she
prove unfortunate ard desolation brood
over her streets, all the surrounding
towns would feel throe as circle of
hands experience an electric thrill at the
same moment. No, we do not court all
the honors."

sIANnvR on THE SOUTH.

We find the following paragraph in
the last issue Of the Louisville CONNER
cial:
The World and the Louisville Courier
Journal are devoting the principal part
Of their time to the earnest appeals that
their Southern brethren will conceal
their rebel impulses The spirit Of
treason must be very rampant when such
persistent efforts are required to lay 1t,
and especially when even they fail to
accomplish that result.
We have not been so close an observer
of either paper as to have perceived any
such earnestness to procure or produce
a cessation of what has no existence
There are no rebel impulses among
their Southern brethren" and any such
Earnest appeals would be merely
supererogatory. In the latter named
paper there have been some slight and
Indifferent controversies, springing up
with a Southern journal or two, but the
handspring was the arrogance of the
doubIe-headed paper, which has endeav-
ored 70 convert into followers Of itspecu-
liar tactics, those who have tactics Of
their own and principles which they are
unwilling to relinquish to adopt any
such sliding scale as a sail-trimming
arant courier might provide-s. There is
no such spirit of treason" in existence
as the Commercial, true to its Radical
instincts, intimates. The Southern peo-
Pile are as periodically true to the Gov
eminent, under the Constitution, as ever
men were, and thousand times more
so than the most boastful Radical in the
land. They are not willing, however, to
ignore the truth, or remain passive
instruments in the hands Of Radicals
when they can exercise the rights of
man, aud defend their common interests
at the ballot box. They are compelled
TO accept the present situation but that
does not argue that they should be con-
tent TO linger out a wasted life, with
Frustrated energies and mean acqui-
escence when power, which has been
usurped and exercised by the few, shall
again be restored to by the many. The
so-called amendments to the Federal
Constitution will be submitted to until
Radicalism shall be swept from power,
and the people not only assume the
reins of government, but, from their
patriotic hearts, shall proclaim their fun
damental rule to be in accordance with
that Of their fathers, which secured to
State and Federal governments their
reenective orbits.

KING WILLIAM OF PRUSSIA.

Mr.. Halstead, of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, who is where he can hear the
clash of arms and behold the carnage
and devastation of war, is writing a
series of interesting letters to his paper.
He thus describes the Prussian monarch,
who is accompanying his army. Writing
from st. Alvord, August 18th, he says:
What advantage we viii gain by push
ing on is not clear but we saw the King
this evening, and had polite recogni-
ton from him. His apartments are in
the second story of the Postoffice build
ing; and passing through the square
this evening, the old gentleman was at
the window, and returned our salute
with look of curiosity. He did not
understand | imagine, what manner of
non-combatants those were staring at
His Majesty. His appearance is that of
a very vigorous man; and, aside from
the casualties Of war, the chances are
that he has a good many years before
him yet. His thick, white mustache
runs into side whiskers, white and heavy,
but neatly trimmed He seemed quite
at his ease and remained at the window
for some time, longer indeed than it was
polite or perhaps prudent, for strangers
to loiter in that vicinity.

MurILArEp CURRENCY.

Under the rules of the United States
Treasury, all mutilated bank notes are
redeemed according to the degree of mu-
tilation. A note with a certain portion
of its superficial surface torn off is never
redeemed at its full value, but in proper
ton to the quantity of superficial surface
presented for redemption. Since green
backs were introduced, the redemption
division Of the Treasury has been con-
stantly engaged in redeeming this multi
ated currency, and an account Of the
discount has been kept, which shows an
aggregate, up to the present date, of
1886, 693.-NdshriLe Banner.
And of every cent of that the people
have been defrauded in addition to the
vast sums that have been entirely de-
stroyed, or that have never been pre-
scented for redemption. The rule was
arbitrary; in fact, despotic, and was
based upon the old song;

And we will keep who can

one Of the fine carnations Of the mind OF
the then Secretary of the Treasury, whose
vignette was impressed on the dollar

imposing pbysiognomy should be marred,

mutilated notes, to cover the case, which
had neither justice in it nor precedent.

prrrEENrH AMENDMENT

Governor Geary, Of Pennsylvania,
having moment of leisure, and wishing
to propitiate Radicalism, has recently
issued proclamation exacting the
strict enforcement Of the Fifteenth
Amendment in Pennsylvania. In the
language Of the Missouri Republican,
his proclamation brings wildly to
view one unpleasant fact, viz: that the
enforcement bill conflicts with the cleo
ton laws of nearly every State in the
North; so that the execution Of it will
necessarily involve violation of these
laws by the very officials sworn to exc
cute them. OF course il will be held
that the lower laws Of the State must
yield to the higher law of the United
States; but for all this there will remain
a sense of humiliation on the part Of the
state. The people will be reminded
that the Federal Government has taken
from them one right which they pos
sessed before; that it has forced them to
do thing they would not do VOLUNTARY
ly; and that it has compelled them to
set aside laws Of their own enactment
which still remain on their own statute
books, mute mementoes of humilia-
ton. There has been no disregard
of the Fifteenth Amendment in a
Southern State; it is somewhat insig-
nifcant that it should be disregarded,
in Northern State for not few Rad
icals in the North, who thought that
duty to their party required them to join
in the hurrah over the adoption of the
fifteenth Amendment, are sick OF 1t
already they are not as much in favor
Of the enforcement of the Amendment
as they were in favor of its adoption
and when they see their own State laws
rudcly set aside by its operation, their
for it will certainly not be in
creased"

ENGLAND.

LoSDoS, September Count De
Flalt is dead.
A signal advantage has been gained
by the Prussians in the late battles upon
the Meuse, whereby the French lines Of
communication had been severed, and q
movement to the north or southwest
checked. The substantial fruits Of the
victory are with the Prussians.
At the end of the battle, on Thursday
the Prussians had surrounded Sedan
and occupied the roads connecting with
Belgium and Paris, thus cutting of Nc.
Mahon's communications.
