To THE GERMAN VOTERS The
Chicago Times, the acknowledged
leading democratic journal of the
northwest, thus speaks Of the Ger
man voters:
The Dutch Of this country have
proven most stupendous fraud.
The records Of the War Department
at Washington show one continuous
line of showed Dutch generals, dur
ing our late row. Charlottesville
was repeated on smaller scale
wherever Dutch battallions were
placed in battle array. They vote
just as they fought, on the side offer
ing the ,bc most lager beer and the
most money. 1t is useless for the
Democracy to pander TO the Dutch
vote 1t is curse to any party"
What German with the least par
ticlo ofmannood will walk up to
poles and vote the democratic ticket,
with such an insult as the above star
ing him in the face?

Farewell, Harrison.

Active arrangements are on foot in
Hamilton county to turn its present cap
ital, Harrison, out to grass. Chattanoo-
ga offers to build on her own sacred soil,
&nd with her own city due bills, a court
house and Jail, without putting the coun-
ty to any expense whatever. In order to
gain votes for the removal of the county
seat, Chattanooga promises to support
vigorously the formation Of new county
from portions of Hamilton, Rhea, Meigs
and Bradley, an arrangement which is
getting to be very popular in spots. The
upshot of the matter will be that Chatta-
nooga will go in debt for the courthouse
and Jail, and all of Harrison that don't
go to Chattanooga will go to grass.

The Banner of the South.

As We have previously announced, this
paper, which Father Ryan's name and
labor made so deservedly popular, has
passed into the hands of the Augusta,
Georgia, Chronicle Publishing Company.
1t came to hand last week under the name
of The Banner OF the South and Planters
Journal, and is edited by Messrs. Henry
Moore, A. R. Wright and Patrick Walsh.
The second-named gentleman was the gal
liant commander of "Wright's Georgia
Brigade" which, so long as sold Rance"
was at its head, was one of the brav-
est and most effective organizations in the
Army of Northern Virginia. The first
page of the new paper contains we'll got
ten up likenesses of all the celebrated
Trotting Horses of this country, includ-
ing the world-renowned Dexter. With
the exception of its having dropped the
advocacy of the Roman Catholic religion,
and substituted therefor an Agricultural
Department, there is no material change
| in the features Of the paper.

Duelling vs., Assault,

The Richmond man who lately refused
to fight duel because it was "sgin tho
law" is badly treated. He fails to re-
ceive the tribute of admiration and 70.
spectful mention his moral heroism de-
mands. 1t is actually argued by one crit
ic that when he, being large man, pull
ed the little mans nose, the unlawfulness
of assault and battery seems not to have
struck him but as soon as the little man
challenged him the law against duelling,
became more holy than all the books OF
Moses in bis eyes; added to which the lit
tie man, who is an editor, rakes up 30
much of our moral hero's record as shows
him purveyor, or something Of that sort, )
for General Malone, in the s'late unpleas-
antness," and upon this record remarks ::
"He commanded not men, but pots and
skillets, and recruited for Mahone's staff
chickens and eggs, butter, milk &c. He
did not regard fighting as good thing I'M
times of war, and he abhors it as felony
in times of peace" After this exposition
it is evident our moral heroes must re-
member their mortality before; and not
ter, insulting other folks. Duelling is
bad, but it is simply base for one man to-
abuse another, and then skulk RESPONSE
bility by avowipg himself a Christian or
a law-abiding citizen, or other such nom
combatant. Nothing so tends to give du--
elling seeming justification as hedging
like this.

A Profanist.

There is a man in New Jersey who H.
provoked. He is absent minded. A few
nights since he went out to drive home,
his COW. Arriving at the pasture ground
he found that the cow was gone, but the
bell which should have been around her
neck was found lying upon the ground.
He placed it in his pocket and forgot alE
about it. Every now and then it would
give a smothered jingle, and he would
think it was his cow and would start off
in fresh direction. He followed that
bell, as he thought, until twelve o'clock;
at night, and walkeditwcnty miles. When
he reached home the COW had been there
FIVE or six hours, and hia wife had gone
to town to advertise for him. Perhaps
he wasn't mad when be found that bell in
his pocket His wife says she has heard
Mr.. Greeley, Henry Ward Beecher, The
odOre Tilton, and all the eminent profan :
lists, but her husband swore them all into
hopeless infetiority.

The Young Widow.

A census taker, going his rounds, stop

act locality of which is no business o.
ours or of the readers.
He was received by stiff, well-dresssd
lady, who could be easily recognized as
widow of some years. standing.
On learning the mission of her visitor
the lady invited him to take seat in the
hall. Having arranged himself into 4
working position, he inquired for the
number of persons in the family Of the
lady.
"Eight, including my4slf," replied the
lady.
.'Very well-your age, madam"
"My age, sir" replied the lady, with
piercing, dignifed look; II conceive it is
none of your business what my age might
be. You are in9uisitive, sir"

A Scene In BeeOherIs Church,

A few Sundays ago, as Mr.. Beecher
was about to commence his sermon, stout,
fatherly-lOoking man was ondeavoring to
make his way through the crowd to get
within better hearing distance of the dis

Beecher's voice rang out the words of the
text: "Who art thou l' "Who art thoul"
again cried out the dramatic preacher.

wrong, perhaps, by pressing forward, and
believing himself to be personally ad-
dressed, startled the brethren and non-

A fascinating youth of Louisville was
recently very badly sold by the matron of
the Kentucky State Prison, in whose
daughter he seemed to evince very strong
interest, while travelling in a railroad car.
Thinking that the Irritation had continued
long enough, she suddenly changed her
seat to the side of the young man, and
whispered in his ear, "Sir, you are total
stranger to me, but l think it to be my
duty to warn you of impending evil.
That young lady is just out of the State
Prison" A passenger got off at the next
station.

A citizen of Lyons, New York, recent
ly stopped at the house of friend to get
a drink of water. No one responding to
his rap upon the door, he raised the win
dow, intending to enter and help himself.
Just as be introduced his head the sash
fell, and being unable to raise it he found
himself prisoner. The owner of the
premises hearing noise, and thinking
only of burglars and murder, fled toward
the yard, but in his fight fell into hogs
head of water, which his fright had oaus-
ed him to forget. Number one, hearing
the splash and divining its cause, began to
laugh immoderately, notwithstanding his
unpleasant position, and thus attracted
the attention of a passing friend, by whose
exertions both parties were released from
their ludicrous situations.
