WELL ORGANIZED

WELL ORGANIZED
and so secret They know every white ran
who has even thought OF voting Radical.
Some Rebs pretend TO be secretly Radical TO
ateh all sUpected persons. You know the
Reb women, as a general thing, were more
bitter Rebs than many of the men during
the war. | have reason 10 believe that in
some cases wives of halfway Republicans
are set to watch their husbands and their
associates. L heard reported some leading
words of conversation / had with one OF
these men that the Rebs have on their Skunk
List, that know could not have leaked out
except through the mans wife.
DEMOCRATS ORGANIZED.
In my last report intimated the opinion
that the Democrats were not organized, and
the strong hope had that they would not
organize or nominate county officers. l
qualify that now, by saying this IN true in a
measure, so far as public organization Is
concerned, but L have recently had reason
to suspect that there is
A POWERFUL SECRET ORGANIZATION.
that so far has foiled all my efforts to ferret
1t out. The fact is, believe that they have
spies in our camp. and men that have been
pretending TO be secret Republicans are
really members of this secret order, willing
for us TO think them Republicans, while
they are seeking to find out and do find out
our every move.

much away on business they have not the
advantage of his skill to advise the Demo-

Under this caption, the Brookhaven
Citizen of Thursday, has the following
fling at one of Mr. Greeley's mournful
facts"
On the Doth of July, an article, for which
we were and are yet responsible, appeared
in this paper, branding Z. p. jacobson,
United States District Attorney, "as dirty
a scoundrel as ever packed a carpet-bag."
This article was copied by the Vieksburg
Herald of the 10Th. On the evening of the
31st, Michael Shaugnessy, u. ). Marshal,
entered the Office of the Herald, and deliver
ed the following:
Here follows the correspondence
between E. p. jacobson and Col. VIM
H. McCardle, and the card which Jacob
son published in the Vicksburg Times. }
The Citizen proceeds as follows:
In this transaction, 4. p. jacobson has
proved himself to be what we branded him.
Why did he demand a retraction of McCar-
die, kR0tcing that we wrote and sanctioned
the article! If McCardle is liable for re-
publishing it, we are, for originating it.
We are the responsible party, and we desire
to be held as such. Why did jacobson hold
McCardle as the only party who had aggriev-
ed him? He knew the originators, their
residence and ali. We again assert, that we
are the responsible party.

The MEDICINE He NEEDED.-Some twenty
five years ago, Deacon P, good citizen OF
Gloucester, Mass, was taken i'll with fever
The doctor was sent for, the good old deacon
went through with the fever, and there was but
little prospect of his getting well, he was so
weak. He was dreadful hungry all the time,
so much SO that he used to dream of good
things to eat, and when he awoke and found it
all a dream, was terribly disappointed. The
doctor absolutely forbade Lis eating anything
but thin cruel, and small allowance even OF
that. Now, the deacon thought he might as
well die one way as another, and was not going
to be starved if he could help it. One morning
as he lay on his bed half asleep he saw his
wife pass through the room with roast chick
en-, which she was going to put in the closet OF
the room adjoining, to keep tor supper, q.
He quickly resolved to eat that fowl himself,
so when his wife returned, he called her to his
bedside and said "that he believed he could get
some sleep if she would not enter the room
during the forenoon, and would also keep the
children from making any noise" 10 this she
willingly assented, and when she left he made
all the exertion in his power to "get up and
get" for the chicken. He was fearfully weak,
but hunger drove him on, and after severe
trial, and obtaining the fowl, he crawled back
to bed. Wasn't it delicious and didn't he roll
the savory morsels under his tongue? Nor did
he stop until all was eaten. What to do with
the bones was the next thing. He was too
weak to get up, so he put them under his pill
low and quietly went to sleep, feeling much re-
freshed with his meal. When he awoke, the
doctor was there who congratulated his patient
upon the marked improvement in his appear
ance, remarking "that he knew the medicine
left the day previous would have an astonish-
ing good effect"
This made the deacon smile, as we'll it might.
Now the wife thought that with the doctors
assistance, it would be capital chance to get
her husband up and make the bed. He pro-
tested against it, but finally assented, and the
good woman in pulling off the sheet pulled the
pile of bones to the floor. If ever there was
surprised female it was the deacons wife. She
looked at the deacon, and the deacon looked at
her, and finally told his story. The listeners
were Mortified, fearing that death would speed
ily ensue from such meal by q sick man.
"Don't trouble yourself about that, for the
chicken was all 1 needed" gaid the deacon,
'and am going to have another tomorrow, as
the one ate to-day has had a most 'astonish-
ing effect" The doctor protested against It,
but it was of no avail. The deacon's dander
was riz and by means of generous diet ne
was up and about his business in ten days
time.

FE1Es.-Talk about mosquitoes! Why, they
ten to the lullaby. of a musquito, and reap some
satisfaction from the thought that once but
lights the gleeful warblist on the listeners
form, speedy spank will certain hush his lay.
But you can't chuck fly off thus. The watch
tul ticklist will calmly light on your nacal
cushion, and with pigmy talons wagging at you
from the vicinity Of his Dubious snout, quietly
await your onslaught, give gentle swoop as
your claw descends, relight, retickle, and re-
swoop, until your very olfactorial nerve tingled
with the agony of self-inaicted blows-and the
fly still lives and watts to your ears demon
smile as he contemplates resettlement on the
tortured territory. There's more genuine devil
wrapped up in the carcass Of one fly than can
be filtered from whole army of loafng mus
quitoes.

A STORY TO BE BELIEVED. the author
ity of two persons of veracity, a correspondent
of the Albany Journal tells this: ''They saw
wasp riding on green worm one and halt
inches long. How far he had ridden they did
not know; but after they saw him, they watched
him until he had ridden all of twenty-five feet.
Occasionally the worm would stop, lie motion
less, as though he was dead, when the wasp,
after little, would spur him up, and then the
worm would 60 on. The wasp would keep the
worm in as direct course as he could. After
a while the worm stopped and the wasp dis
mounted and quickly ran and removed little
stone or piece of ground about two inches from
where the worm lay, and then seizing the worm
the wasp came out, put on the gravel top over
the hole, covered the stone over, and seemed
to be getting ready to fly, when they killed him,
and then dug down about two inches and dug
out the worm, which vas dead" .'.'
