Go oN Ma. MoNGREL.-Should the
bill now before Congress to enforce
the fifteenth amendment become law,
any nigger anywhere, offended at
any one, can swear him into the Pen
itentiary and 81 900 fine, by simply
making oath, that his vote was tried
to be influenced. lfyou have mig
ger working for you, and you find
him to be worthless and turn him off
though it be three months amer an
election, all Mr.. Mig has to do, is to
make oath that you discharged him
because he wouldn't vote as you de
sired him to, and the United State:
yOoI ,anuIrnp nue on you o. SoUU
Who will be safe when this devi.con-
ceived act becomes a law? Not you
Mr., Mongrel, because for five hundred
dollars, eight out Of every ten niger:
in the country, would swear you into
the Penitentiary in less time than you
could say "Jack Robinson"
But 60 ahead if you think there is
no hell. Its your party-the men
you placed in power-that are trying
to fasten these outrages upon you,and
If you can stand it, we "copperheads'
can. IL you want the niger on top
pick him up and put him there. He'll
look no better over us, than he will
over you GreenSburg Democrat.

EVIDENCE OF ITS DETEsrARLENEss
III ftierrIng to the Registration whicl
was being made last week by the radi
Gals of that city, preparatory to the
holding Of their delegate elections
has the following paragraph, showing
the effect the presence of the negroes
at the registration places had upon
white RAIDS:
"We visited several Of the places for
registration yesterday down town,
and we must say that a more fitting
display of the condition of the Radl.
cal party in this city could not have
been made. Wherever there were
any number of colored voters in the
vicinity, there the registration win.
dows were completely surrounded
with crowds Of the darks and, with
the exception of one or two hungry
office seeker or rummics, scarcely a
white person could be seen. White
men-that is decent ones-would not
mingle nor participate. Even the one
or two whites at each place seemed
ashamed Of their presence and hung
down their heads like whipped dogs :

HISTORY OF THE. MERCER PoTAro.-Iu the
year 1902 Mr.. John KiGey, of Mercer coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, living alcng Neshanock
creek, planted quantity of blue. red white
and other varieties of potatoes. from the
product OF which be selected the above named
variety, which at first were called Nes!lan-
ocNs, after the creek near which he lived -
They were soon brought into notice br the
name Of Mercer and cultivated near Phila-
delphia. from whence they spread over t
whole country. and were for long time
more generally cultivated than any other
variety, but of late years have been on the
decline, other new varieties having been it,
troduced, none of which, however. have OBJ
tanned the celebrity Of the Mercer, which was
almost universally planted for nearly half
century, owing to its superior edible quail
ties and productiveness. 1t may be a long
time before any one variety of this valuable
escuient to man will attain the prominence
of the noble Mercer, which. although having
had its day, is still the favorite with large
number Of people.

A WONDERFUL DOG.-A ger tlemau in
Oswego, who has a dog valued in the family
as pet, relates strange incident of the
power to charm or fascinate, common to
reptiles, but rather extraordinary among
quadruped9. Recently the kitchen girl saw
this dog seated on his launches with one
forepaw lifted. eyeing rat under cupboard
in some room connected with the house, -
The rat also had his eyes fixed on the dog,
aud after watching them few moments, the
girl, thinking it strange, called some of the
family, who, interested to see how this Curl
GUS circumstance would turn out. came and
stood quietly by. For half an hour these
animals maintained the same position, being
some six or eight feet apart. At the end OF
that time the rat, slowly and bling with
fear, began to approach the dog. their eyes
still fixed on each other immovably. Con-
tinuing to creep up, when within couple
of feet. the dog sprung. and catching the rat,
quickly disposed of him. 1t was after wards
discovered that .he hole in the wall through
which the rat came was Immediately back
Of where he was first seen. This occurrence
is vouched for on The most reliable testimo-
ny, aud is ore Of the most singular instances
OF charming" on record.

BUSH YoUR ToMAToEs.-It is just as SEN
sible to grow peas without bushing them,
as it IS tomatoes. You may grow both in
slovenly way, if you have plenty of room
and the ground but you can grow either
twice well if you have something to sup
port'them, and tomatoes are decidedly better
grown up III the air than near the ground
under the shade of a mass of vines. The
best support of tomato vine is short bush
set firmly in the ground so that the branches
have room to spread among the limbs and
and support the fruit. The plan is much
better than tying to stakes and trimming,
according to our experience. We have
tried both ways.
We have every season, for the last four
or Eve years, offered this advice to growers
OF this valuable esculent. Bushing will in
crease the progress nearly one half-will
give larger fruit, aud il will keep sound
much longer on the vines GerDaantolon

The STEEL PEN.-James Perry, an Eng
lish schoolmaster, made the first steel pen,
and was so good a business man that he
succeeded in introducing it as the Perryan
pen. In 1925 he had Fifty men engaged in
the business Of making pens but it was
left for Jeremiah Mason to make the pen
popular; the same man, by the way. who
became a second Peabody by establishing
an orphan asylum endowed with $I,2OO,-
600. Mason was a Kidderminster carpet
weaver, but went 10 Birmingham and man>
ufactured pins, needles, shoe-stringS, and
inhnItesimal essentials. Here he saw in
shop window steel pen. priced at sixpence.
He bought three, made better ard lighter
ones at penny and quarter apiece, and
sent specimens to Perry The inventor was
delighted, advanced money TO Mason, aud
the intercourse ended in partnership and mu-
tual wealth. Perry has since died. and
Mason is the sole proprietor OF the Perryan
pen.

ssHERE's YoUR KEl'-Many years
ago, when Judge Robert NJ. Charlton, of
Savannah. Ga, was quite young man,
he, in company with his father, the Hon.
Il. u. p. Charlton, spent every summer
in the delightful little village of Clarks-
vile, North Eastern Georgia. One day
George was passing along the street in
Clark sville, and it happened to be election
day (members of Congress were then cleo
ted by what is called the general ticket
system, and not by districts, as they now
are, when he was met by verdant
Democrat of the mountains, who accosted
him thus: "Mr. Charlton, are you the
man that is running for Congress ?" ''No,
sir, / am no candidate my father is,
however. But may ask why this inqui-
ry p 'Nothing, only | haven't yoIed
yit." If it is consistent with your feel
ings, l would like it if you would vote for
my father" 81 would just as soon vote
for him as anybody" Mr.. c. thanked
him, and thinking perhaps his friend was
seeking a treat, invited him into neig-
boring bar-room. ''What will you take :"
81 never take anything, but | see they
have some gingercakes. l would as lief
take one of them with you as not. -
Every well. Give US cake "My
brother is in town with me-" "All right;
take him cake with my respects" An
other cake was purchased and paid for,
and the two friends parted-"Greeny"
to find his brother, and Mr.. G. TO join in
the merry dance with his young friends
in parlor hard by. ''The golden hours
on angels wings" passed rapidly away
with Mr. Charlton. His friend was soon
forgotten. Late in the evening, when
there was pause in the dance, our YER
dant friend, very much to the surprise Of
every one, stalke9 into the parlor, inqni-
ring for Mr. e. OF course all eyes were
directed TO our friend as he approached
Mr.C. Drawing from his pocket four
by six inch cake, he said "Mr. Charlton
here's your cake. My brother had voted
afore | seed him."
