4 CARD.
We, the undersigned, at lcagth seeing
the folly of p;nniug ourfaith to the rad
ical party, and convinced that a course
so much in opposition 10 all that is
right and honest, and which in the end
will work ont our own ruin, (our true
interests being wholly Identified With
the honest white people of the State }
from this time wish j. known far and
near, among our colored fellow-citlzens,
as we'll Us the white people, that We will
not tie to the radical party any longer,
or believe any more Of their lies. The
dese-tion of our lcader-Mr. D. R. Phi
fer-who promised so much and per-
formed so little, was the greatest bless
ing which could have betallen Us ; 1t
had the effect Of opening our eyes. We
arc satisfied now, that though pretend
Ing to be our friend, he was our worst
enemy, and that he vas all the time
working for his own self interest; and
had he continued true TO his party, and
We to him, w,e would have been doing
injury to ourselves and the country. The
true policy Of the colored man is to cut
loose from carpet-baggers and thieves,
and join hands with white native, honest
citizens ; in furtherauce Of which, we
hereby sign our names:

.-;kIBsFr, TIE ELEFuASr.-To relieve the
almost general anxiety felt in regard to :he
health of,he elephant, in possession Of the
Star Troupe at this place, and the prospect
of his f.ture appearances, We are rejoiced to
say that VIC have been assured BY his accom-
.nlishcd and versatile trainer, Mons. Hum
bug Smith, that the public need be under nc
apprehension, and that he and the entire
troupe are pledged to keep him on his legs,
no matter how great the sacrifice, either pc.
cuniarily or otherwise. That he did not
look quito as stout on his second appearance
as on the first, vas owing 10 q coucatena'
ton of fortuitous circumstances, which the
management could not overcome at that
time The limited state Of their treasury
their expenses naturally In getting mp an en-
tcrtainment so various in merit being great
er than their income, together with the or
binary rs well as extraordinary drain, for
rent. lights, and council tax, falling on them
heayily-put them in sore dilemma, and
in consequence, Aber. was more or less ne
elected, and being sensitive animal, and
feeling the neglect as Intentional, he pined
and refused his fodder for several days. Had
money matters been easier, Albert would
have swelled up and looked like his former
SELF Again, unlike Shakespeare's hero who
was brought into the world "scarce half
made up" Albert was ushered into daylight
in full development and proportion, and con-
sequently Of mature mind, hence his peculiar
sensitiycness. His keepers troubles are his
own as well; if one is low in funds the other
is low in spirit. 1t is related that there have
been boys who were never born, and never,
in course, had any parents, but never thus
of an elephant till now. Naturalists will
make note here. Albert was never born; he
only got to be what he is, and stranger still,
he is made up Of uHcongenial and conflicting
parts, and particularly In his legs.-the front
having 40 affinity with the hind, and each
set disposed to move in the direction 1t suits
them best, besides one set being longer than
the other; and but for the untlilns panenec
of Prof. H., the bowels CT Albert would often
be sadly deranged. This is another reason
yhy he looked little thin about the abdom'
inal regions, and his feelings distressed
Anybody's feeling would be hurt under sim
liar circumstances. All of these difficulties
will be overcome, however, and though each
member of tho company is out Of pocket
several dollars, they hope BY fall to get their
money back; they promise, too, that if tbea ami
naFs legs show much contrariness, they will
supply him with four men ones, of not only
more uniform size, but if possible, carer
akin. We trust this will prove satisfactory
to the public.

TsE FEHaLE AcADENY.-The exercises
of the Newberry Female Academy closed for
the Summer vacation on the 18th, and teach
ers and pupils, after 50 long and close applt-
cation, viii enjoy the brief respite which
they are honestly and Justly entitled TO, aad
retarn to their duties in the golden autumn
with recuperated strength and fresh energies.
Prof. Pifer, az announced, gave no regular,
set examination, but invited the parents Of
theyouDg ladies, and friends Of his school,
to risit without ceremony and at any time,
and note the progress attained in the differ
ent classes aud studies. It was our privilege
to spend there an hour or two ip the early
morning of Thursday last, and listen to the
rec:tltions. just rs they arc ordinarily con.
duet d on any and every other day, ,.aud take
pleasure in saving thar the hour was well
and p-oitably spent, and it affords US graft
fcation to testify TO the ability displayed by
the teachers rs well as the proficiency of the
pupils There are not few bright minds in
bol, the primary classes, supcrintendeG by
Miss Fanny LeaTell, as we'll as in the more
advanced classes, under Prof. Pifer, par:icu-
! larry bright, and which give great promise
for the future; and the general sptness Of the
whole school. gives indisputable evidence
that these young ladies and little girls are in
good hands. Newbcrry can boast Of alarger
number of intelligent and handsome girls
than any other town Of its size in the State,
and Prof. P. no doubt is proud that he has
50 many of this number under his training,
and prouder still that for diligence and mod
est demeanor they can rank with any of like
| number In the Country. We do not mean
this as an idle compliment by any means,
but express the sentiment in honest sincerity,
and hope that when the school resumes its
exercises there will be added to the number
many others of like character.

GIaaL1SG-One of the most unmeaning
and provoking habits that young lady can
indulge in, is gigglmg. Isis less essential to
happiness, and less conducive to health,
than any other idle habit they can acquire.
And it is surprising how accomplished some
Of them are in it, and how long they can
keep it up. We have known them to gigglc
by the hour, for whole evening, retire TO
sleep in q giggle, and have heard them, as
they wake up, commence just where they
lett off. NOT one word could they utter with
out the everlasting giggle, giggle, giggle.
They seemed to be composed entirely of it,
50 full were they. Look, speak, raise your
finger TO or a: them, and they would break
out in the same place. And it was neither
a lack of sense. nor yet of education, but
simply because they were full Of abominable
giggle. Positively. girls, it's shocking. We
know men who have had as many sweet.
Learts in their timc-not at one timc-ss
they had fingers and toes, who were forced
to relinquish all, just because they were no
torious gigglers. Think of that. Nine men
| out of ten would as soon face cllassepot, as
bcvy of gisgliug girls, and they ere right.
There is not the slightest harm or indelicacy
in indulging in good honest laugh occa'
sionally Most men like it, and marrying
men arc attracted by ringing laugh in the
/ happiest manner. There is magic and music
in hearty laugh, tut your little-short-ever'

Some of you may think or say, listen to
the old 'fogy, and it's none Of his business
aauy how" that Is, if you can stop the gigsle

length, but when you grow older, and gain

Dover BAPTIST Ass0CIATIoE.-The asso.
citation met Yesterday ut 10 O'Clock, the
crowd IN attendance being larger than on
the first day.
a letter was read from Edward Harrison
corresponding secretary of the Education
Board. 1t WAS ably discussed by Rev. Drs.
Burrows, Jctcr, and Dickinson. and adopt
cd as the sense Of the body on that subject.
Rev. W. 4. WhiteScarver made an appeal
in behalf Of the Church at Harrisonburg,
Va, and realized handsome sum.
The report on foreign missions was pre-.
sented and read by Rev. VIM. &. Hall, and
discussed by Rev. Geo. T. Adams.
In the afternoon the report Of the Sunday
School and Bible Board was read by Mr..
VIM. j. Stores, of Hampton, Va, and dis
cU>sed by Rev. DR.. G. II. Dickinson, j. B.
Walkers, corresponding secretary, Rev. j.
w. Hart, Rev. Geo. T. Adams, and others.
After i collection for a new house of wor-
ship to be erected in Caroline county by
Rev. j. W. Hart, and the transaction oil
some unilnportant business, the association
adjourned.
The house of worship in which the asso-
citation meets IS quite old. The church
was organized in 1913, and they have con-
tinucd to occupy the same house. The
association itself was organized in 1884.
This, therefore, is its eighlY-eighth session.
1t has never before convened with this
church. Indeed Of the forty-one churches
composing the body there are seventeen
with which the association has never been
held.
The oldest church connected with the
body is the Goochland church, which is 100
wears Old.
