You Need not Believe il.

| GONE of the Maine papers, having COM
! ~ peted in the publication of improbable
stories correspondent of tho Kenebec
Journal capped the climax by writing the
following "yarn -
81 was informed by one of our oldest
inhabitants that in the early settlement of
our country, two men were travelling on
foot through the town Of Skowhegan, and
in close proximity to piece of dense woods
when to their surprise and horror, they saw
a monstrous black bear coming directly
toward them, evidently very hungry, from
the manner in which he showed his long
white teeth.
| The men determined to show their cour-
age towards the bear, hoping by so doing
to induce him to turn from them, pressed
firmly onward, expecting every step they
took that they should see him retreat /. but
to their surprise, old bruin made no retreat
but pressed forward, as determined to show
fair front as they, and both parties kept
their onward movements until within about
four feet of each other, when the bear SUD
denly reared upon his hind feet and for a
moment looked his victim steadily in the
face, and then made desperate spring
toward one of the men, and with his paws
tore the entire contents of the man out, and
made his way with it to the woods.
AS the man that was not injured by the
bear stood looking, with wild confusion at
the mangled body of his unfortunate COM
panion, and trying to decide what to do,
he was reminded of hearing the following
recommended in such cases If persons in
this situation could have the insides of a
sheep put into them when warm, that some
times they would recover. And as good
luck would have it, in looking around he
saw, in little clearing near by him, flock
Of sheep.
He Immediately went to the flock and
caught one and opened it and took the in
sides from it and carefully placed them in
the body and by the assistance of travel
leri who fortunately happened to come up
Mt that moment, they carried him to the
nearest house, where the bedy was sewed
up and every attention given that was pos
sible in the absence of a physician, and in
a few days the man was able to sit up and
continued to gain very rapidly, SO much
so that he was able to be taken to his fami-
ly. 1t was reported that the man enjoyed
good health for a number of years, but
ever after had great hankering after
grass

TRUE HERoISM.

Let others write of battles fought
On bloody, ghastly fields,
Where honor greets the man who wins.
And death the man who yields,
But will write of him who fights
And vanquishes his sins,
Who struggles on through weary years
Against himsclf-and wins.
He is hero staunch and brave
Who fights an unseen foe,
And puts at last beneath his feet
His passions base and low;
Who stands erect in manhood's might,
Undaunted, undismayed-
The bravest man who drew sword
In forey or in raid.
1t calls for something more than Drawn
Or muscle to o'ercome
An enemy who marcheth not
With banner, plume and drum
A foe forever lurking nigh,
With silent, stealthy tread,
Forever near your board by day,
At night beside your bed.
All honor then, to that brave heart,
Though poor or rich he be,
Who struggles with his baser part
Who conquers and is free.
He may not wear a hero's crown,
Or fill a hero's grave,
But trnth will place his name among
The bravest of the brave.

The tnioa goes deeper into malignity.
IL says ifthe taxes are high, it is a fault
of the editor of this paper, because we
are Chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners. In cur charity We can
forbcar saying what We might with pro-
priety assert. Let the Union know,
however, that we had rot yet been COM
missioned when the Board of Equaliza-
ton for this County met. The cqualiza-
ton O. had been made, and the Audi
tors books almost completed when we
took our seat. Had we been installed at
tho time, the taxes of Orangcburg
County you'd not have been so high,
that is, if our. voice could have had any
effect.
What our contemporary says about the
County Commissioners, VIC will answer
by asking its editor TO read the present
ment of the last Grand Jury, of this
County. The onion oughtto beparticular.
1t doesn't know that there are no
charges against the New Doard, there

with every other description Of business.
The result 81 this is that the cabaret, the
business Of which is limited to . few dollars
per day, pays the same license as the large
concern that counts the result Of its days
sale by hundreds. It would be just as
reasonable to rule that every house should
pay the tax without reference to size or
value, to require each retail grocery to
pay the same license without reference to
amount of stock or extent of business.
And this, of course, applies to all other
trades and callings.
We believe the interest Of the COM
munity requires that an equitable classii-
cation of license taxes should be delayed
no longer; and when this is accomplished
no fault can in reason be found with the
most stringent mode Of enforcing col
lections. The present period of the year
is the proper time to begin the reform.
It cannot be effected in day, but o
careful classification could be made in
readiness to guide the equitable shaping
Of license ordinance for next year.
We must add, in justice to the existing
city authorities, that amid the multi
plicity Of disorganized affairs to attend
to since they have assumed the admins
tzation, they could not give this matter
the attention it deserves. Further, the
system as it exists did not originate with
the present administration, but was
bequeathed with other bad things-the
result Of folly and short-sightedness many
years ago. But the time has come, and
the reform should be delayed no longer.

no REMEDY.

The Louisville Courier--Jonnal, after
having denounced rs false for months the
repealed and oftentimes demonstrated
assertion that the Ku-Klux were commit
ting all sorts Of outrages upon the negroes
in the South, at last became convert to
the belief which it had derided 80 often
and 20 bitterly, and is now loudest and
longest in the demand for remedial meas
ures against this terrible evil It admits
that The Ku-Klux do exist in the
South. and that they are disgrace to the
people who tolerate them, and an evil to
the land that they infest So much for
the testimony Of the ablest Democratic
paper in the South, as to the existence Of
the evil which Congress is attempting to
legislats against
The New York World, which has the
ability but.not the honesty Of the Courier
Journal, simply because it is the organ of
that most corrupt and unprincipled ring
known as Tammany, unblushingly afirms
that there is no such evil as the Ku-Klux
extant in the South. but that if there is.
Congress has no power to protect the peo-
pie from its pestlential visitations We
place the two propositions side by side,
confident that they will be denounced as
untrue and incorrect by every intelligent
citizen. We say, with the Courier Journal,
backed as that was by the official declara-
ton of Governor Stevenson, that the Ku-
Klux do exist in the South, and that Con-
gress has the right, and is solemnly bound
to protect the people from its evils. To
assume any other ground would be to
affirm that the United States was gov
eminent without the power to perform
the duties of government The consti-
tuition declares that the Union was formed
for the purpose Of securing republican
form of government to the States.
Anarchy and disorder are the opposites of
republicanism, and where they appear it
is the duty of Congress, administering it's
power under the constitution, to extirpate
them. Where the right exists the power
is implied. No specified way is provided,
but under the law the legislator is author
lied to select the best way his judgment
discovers. Are we to live forever in the
midst of turbulence because one of two
agents will not act? If the State does not
do its duty, then so much the greater
necessity that the nation should be faith
full.
