A CONCERTED TRlck.-The following para
graph from the Lynchburg Ne'cs describes
90 precisely the conduct of the Radicals III
this place on election day that every one
who reads it will say that the infamous
tricksters had arranged beforehand Tor the
two scenes:
"More Deultry A.foat.-Finding them
selves badly beaten in this county and dis
trict, the .,adical managers in our midst
have commenced arrangements for con-
testing the seats of our successful i Hand a,
rm.sdav they saw that their doom was
liked, and accordingly began to work the
VreS' at Paulctt's, one Of the precincts Of
Brookville township. Every negro who
could be induced to visit that place was
,nrmcd in liue. and the appearance was
.huS presented of a long list of waiting
voters, when the fact was that many oil
hem had already voted and others had no
voteS.'

ENoLfsu MEDIATION between Germany and
France elicits considerable attention. and con,
siderable importance Is attached 10 H. especial
ly, 1t would seem, by the English themselves.
IL is assumed that such Intervention would be
big thing. Unfortunately for the importance
Of the matter, the Germans are as Indifferent
and stolid about English intervention as .bey
are wont to appear in reference 70 most things,
except, possibly, their pipe and lager. They
are quite careless as 10 the course of England,
who has not the power TO interfere. Whoever
the Germans may listen to, and TO whomso-
ever they may defer in the discussion ofpeace
projects, they will carefully omit to measure
England according to her own estimates of
her consequence 1t is well known that Eng
land dare not go to war. The Alabama preoe-
dent places he's under bonds to keep the peace,
and she has not an army large enough to tickle
the flank of the German host As the lion
can't bite, why should he growlf And If he
docs growl in moments ofafTectations ofvigor,
suTely there is no reason why the noise should
disturb any ones sleep or spoil anybody's

Aneedote Of Secretary Fish.

Mr.. Secretary Fish, though one of the
most refined and courteous OF gentlemen,
can scarcely be said to have national
reputation as a wag, Yet here is trife
that shows what he might do if very
bard pressed I; A few monthG since
Major Jack s., Of California, was in
Washington in quest of office. He had
besieged Senator Cole TO such an extent
that the horn buttons on the back of his
coat had made two holes in the SENATOR'S
sofa. AT last the irrepressible Major
was referred to the Secretary Of State,
and promptly gained an interview with
that gentleman. Entering the presence,
his tall white hat leaning back at an
angle of forty:fye degrees, stroking hls
huge mustaphe, and relieving his fore.
head from perspiratiop by means of a
huge red handkerchief bordered with
blue, the Secretary addressed him E;
"Well, Major, am told that you were
of great service to our good cause in
California during the last political cam:
paign."
The Major, throwing himself back into
hat graceful position peculiar to himself,
and placing both thumbs in the arm-holess
Of his test, exclaimed "Qh no, ] guess
not !! it's the man around the corner, III
the grocery !"
Mr.. Fish, somewhat dapnted by the
attitude struck by the Major, and deem
ing the language rather nhbecoming for .
gentleman to make use of whp was ap
applicant for high Federal position, re,
piled ; "That being the case, Major,
will have q conference with the gentle,
man who occupies the grocery, and
endeavor to reward him for his SERVICES.
Good morning, sir"
On the ensuing morning the Major in
serted his various shirts and skirts in his
leatAeFn bag, and left for California

An Irishman took contract to dig q
public well. When he had dug about
twenty-five feet down, he came one
morning and found it caved in-filled
nearly the top. Pat looked cautiously
around, and saw that nobody was near
then took off his hat and coat, hung them
On the windlass, crawled into some
bushes and awaited events. In a short
time the citizens discovered that the we'll
had caved in, and seeing Pats hat and
coat on the windlass, they supposed that
he was at the bottom of the excavation.
Only few hours of brisk digging clear
ed the loose earth from the well, and Just
as the citizens had REACHED the h9tfam,
and were wondering where the body
was, Pat came out of the bushes, and
good.naturedly thanked them for reliev-
ing him Of '!sorry job" Some of the
tired diggers were disguised but the
joke was too good to allow anything
more than hearty laugh that soon fol:
lowed,
