Plain Talk.

The most fiery speech delivered
on the Georgia Bill, was that Of
General Morgan of Ohio. Among
other things he said:
''Mr. Speaker, there are those,
and they are numbered by thou
sands, who at the time of the out
break of the war which closed
five years ago believed that it was
the deliberate purpose of the lead
ers of the so-called Republican
party to force this country into
war for the express purpose Of
subverting its free Institutions. l

tant SO to believe. / was willing
to contribute, to the best of my
humble ability, in suppressing the
armed opposition to the Govern
rnent. But, sir, with my hand
upon my heart, in the presence
Of the great God who rules all ma
tions and now watches over ours,
| here declare that ! am now con-
vinced that the single object of
these leaders of the Republican
party was the subversion of our
free institutions and the desire Of
war to that end"

The Widows Victims.

in each Of the daily papers an ad-
vertisement setting forth that "a
young widow lady of refinement,
education, beauty and wealth, in

tinent, and wishes to engage, as a
companion and protector, a young
gentleman of cultivation and re-
finement, who will receive a iber-

you"-(twenty-fve or fifty dollars,
as the case might be. Then the
agent says, "My dear sir, l don't
think I ought to do it, but still l

The case is yet undecided.

A good story is told of a certain
prominent railroad gentleman of
the city of Philadelphia, who is e.
qually renowned for his ability to
give and receive a joke.
Arailroad employe, whose home
is in Avon, came on Saturday
night for pass down to visit his
family.
"You are in the employ of the
railroad ?" inquired the gentleman
alluded to.

"You receive your pay regular
lyf"
"Yes.'
"Well, nov suppose you were
working for farmer instead of q
railroad, would you expect your
employer to hitch up his team ev'
cry Saturday night and carry you
home ?"
This seemed a poser, but ii
wasn't.
"No," said he promptly, 81
would not expect that, but if the
farmer had his team hitched up
and was going my way, l should
call him a darned mean cuss if he
wouldn't let me ride"
The employe came out three
minutes afterwards with a pass
good for Iwelve months.

Curious Facts about JAP
anese JugglerS.


The current number of a month
ly magazine has an interesting pa
per tillustrated) on Japanese a.
musements. Speaking of jugglers,
the writer says;
One of the most remarkable pc
culiarities Of their performance is
the skill they display in passing
from simple feats of manipulation
to the use of mechanical contriv-
ances and reversely, without the
spectator perceiving the change.
One OF them, for example, squats
down before a tall iron candle stick
and manipulating his fan with
one hand, he seizes the candle
with the other, throws it up like a
ball, catches when it descends, and,
without extingnishiDg it, he con-
tinues the movement in unison
with an air he sings, accompanied
by the orchestra; then returning
the candle to lis place, he blows
it out and apparently by 8 move
ment OF his fan causes jet of wa
ter to spout from it, which he re-
ceives in a porcelain bowl.
His comrade, kneeling before a
stool, covered with cloth and light
ed on the sides with two large pa
per lanterns, exhibits two pretty
puppets, which he makes play a
little comedy, interspersed with
songs and dances; and it is a COM
edy with four characters. The
changes in the roles take place in
full view of the audience, without
the juggler moving from his posi-.
ton. The piece being finished, he
passes the puppet to another, at
the same time executing q little
scene, after which he extends and
shakes the large sleeves of his
jacket, like the wings of a bird,
and suddenly jumps on one of the
large paper lanterns and stands
there on his toes. His colleague,
in the meantime, opens the pup
pets and takes out a luncheon
Seeing the teapot, he offers tea to
the spectators, presenting them
with cup on a salyer, which he
fills to the brim, but when an au-
ditor reaches out for it he finds it
empty. The juggler astonished,
touches the cup with his lips, but
turns away with disgust to throw
out swarms Of flies.

Woman Marrying Wo-
man,


The Perplexity of the Courts at
SantiagO-TheC COurtship in the
BatIs-The Capture of a Chilian
/, Heiress-Love shall the Property
be Divided?
An account OF very extraordi-
nary marriage comes to us from
Chill. 1t is probably without par
allel in the annals of the law.
Near Santiago, he capital of
Chill, are the baths of Colina.-
The people of fashion crowd to
this watering place in the proper
season, to find rest and quiet there.
Near the baths they have been
won't to meet young man who
offered for sale newly laid eggs,
and many other articles, for which
he found a demand among the
fashionable society Of the place.
There was one popularity about
this young man which attracted
the attention OF the police. He al
ways wore cloak. Whatever the
occasion, the cloak was not remov
ed. But that was all. Further
investigation revealed nothing, ex-
cept, the youth was a handsome
and industrious young fellow, ma
king an honest living by selling
eggs.
Among the beautiful senoritas
in the habit of resorting to the
baths was a dark-haired, pretty
young heiress from Santiago. The
engaging demeanor of the seller of
eggs, and perhaps the air of mys-
terry about him, attracted her at
tention. This he quickly perceiv-
ed; and it was not long before a
courtship had resulted in the be-
trothal of the humble youth and
the rich girl. They succeeded in
satisfying the parents of the young
lady, and the marriage took place.
Only a few days passed, when
the city was scandalized by the
report of a suit for divorce, brought
by the wife. She had married a
woman! The youth wearing the
cloak, and with the dress and
manners of a man, was one of her
own sex.
A divorce was, of course, imme-
diately granted; but a serious ques-
ton was presented to the court, as
to the wiie's property. 1t seems
that the so-called husband, whose
object was to obtain the property of
her victim, had already made pur'
chases in her wife's name. Should
these be regarded as valid? T? The
husband certainly acted as agent OF
the wife and with the wife's con.
sent. Still, though the pretended
husband is subject to other punish
ment for fraudulent assumption, ii
seems hard to compel the wife to
apply her money to the fulfilment
of the contracts made under such
circumstances.
The case is yet undecided.

Views OF q Southern Ne


The Georgia correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial writes
the following:
1t will not do to settle down to
the pleasant conclusion that all
negroes are loyal. In this State,
at least, the Democrats have worked
with success among that class of
voters, and brought over many
converts TO the faith.
"Are you acquainted" l asked
of colored disciple of Democra-

pounding the question / of course

quainted with the colored men,

expelled ?"
"Yes, sab ; I knowed 'em well,
and they are all id fools"

not looking for, and | asked him
to explain, which he did.
"You see," said he "that they
have set themselves up to govern
white people when they hain't
got sense enough to govern them
selves. Most OF 'em are common
plantation niggers, who never did
know anything, and hain't- got
sense enough to learn. What do
they know about the Constitution,
or about the government of this

they can't learn in four hundred
years. / used to go up to the Cap
