N. O. WALLACE,
Sick of His own Medi-
cine.

AN AZ OOAAO AlbLlCaa WOllu6I'
meIt in the vicinity OF Columbus
N. j. For a long time there liv.
ed in that vicinity a man whose
name is Burns, and this Burns had
a wife who was called Mrs. Maggie
Burns. Now Maggie and her 'hus.
tand were both Republicans. Eol
years they have cursed the Demo.
Gratis; denounced Democrats as cols
perheads, copperheads as traitors,
and traitors as too mean to live,
and rice eer0G. They have
claimed that the negro was equal
to if not better than the white
man. Especially has brother
Burns claimed this. During the
years Of his married life, he has
been very busy man--six chill
dren have clustered about bis
hearth stone and he has never
missed an occasion to vote the
Republican ticket. So t-.
But just now a patch OF shade
has crossed the sunshine of broth
er Burns life. Not long since the
last of his children, the, youngest
thereof, was born unto him and
his wife. But, strange to say,
the little cuss. is black. At the
age of six months he was devel-
oped into a regular young Ethio-
plan. Burns is in a quandry.-
For q long time he thought that it
was the water, the climate, the
medicine, the political excitement,
or something of that sort, which
caused the discrepancy between
| the last and the first born OF the
Burns family. Then he laid it
to his wife's reading SO many Re-
publican newspapers and thinking
so much of the innocent cause of.
the war, now dignified by the
name of fifteenth amendment.
At last he discovered that the
cat in his meal was an Ethiopian,
five feet ten inches high, very
black, but decidedly comely-at
least in the eyes of his WIFE, And
he contemplated inaugurating
shooting match, and making the
body of the Ethiopian a reservoir
for leaden bullets, But the col
ored cuss has lit out with a car
pet-bag, has gone hence, and
Brother Burns swears that he will
live no more with his family by
burned sight. So he has taken
a carpet-bag and started South,
swearing vengeance upon each
and every five feet ten inch negro
he sees. =
Early in life Bro. Burns en-
braced the Republican party and
he should not object to having a
portion of that party embrace
any reasonable opportunity to en-
brace his 0consort. We hope he.
will do nothing rash, We trust
he will not start a new grave yard
with the dusky complexioned ma
rauder. 1t would be too bad TO
weaken the Republican party by
even one vote: Let him read that
beautiful sentence uttered by the
immortal President--Let us have
peace!-Fraaklias IN j. Herald.

It appears that this was not tht

Wirz. The Savannah Republi
can states another fact, not gen

E. Lee and Gen. Howell Cobt
were also subpanad and ordered
to Washington as witnesses for the
accused, but were subsequently
met en- route by dispatches from
the government ordering them
not to come on. Gen, Cobb got
as far ss Savannah, and, receiving
his dispatch, turned back. The
prosecution had both those gentle
men rejected as witnesses on the
ground that having engaged in
rebellion, they were personally in
famous and not to be believed on
oath The Republican adds
''We may also state, as an inter-
esting fact in this connection, that
General Cobb, who was in COM

1864, had he been allowed to reach
Washington, would have testified
