that is played by the feet. It has sixty
eight keys, which are cubical blocks of
wood, and each one strikes chord of
four notes. He puts on slippers to play
with, and while he makes his piano go
with his feet, lie plays the flute with lis
mouth and fingers. The new m chnnism
cal bo easily attnched to any ordinary
piano.

Letter from a Mechanic.


TO the Editor Of the State Journal q
We have been so often begged within the
past few weeks by number of citizens of
Chesterfield county, of both parties, white
and colored, to say something to your
praise in reference to the stand you have
taken in the interest of the Taxpayers and
workingmen of this community, it gives us
great pleasure to say that your course is
highly approved of, with the hope that you
will follow up your line of argument in this
direction. The people feel that with men
having the boldness as You have had to at
tack the ''liono in his den will, if faithful to
the work, make him howl in this fall cam
paign. Truth crushed to earth will rise
again but when falsehood and theft are
caught they are not apt to get lose, if the pro-
per tribunal gets them in charge, which we
think will be the case before long. Your
explanation on the action of Congress, in
reference to the reduction of the national
debt, with that of the exposure of the ras-
cality practiced in the last Legislature, has
awakened the dormant energy in all classes
of men in this community, and it only re-
mains for the Republican party to put men
in the field that can and will explain these
facts to the people who do not read your
paper, which, when explained, will arouse
the people to sense of their self-protection,
regardless of party feelings. With such
platform as this the Republican party will
do as North Carolina has done in the last
call for convention, put them to flight
the Democrats. Elect another Democratic
Legislature, and convention will be called
to alter the constitution and then what !?
a property and educational qualification
Will be demanded. MECHANIC.

I A BUMB SHELL has been thrown into
the camp of the Ohio Democracy by Col.
John M. Connell, one of the ablest writers
and most popular speakers within that
organization. 1t is in the form of letter
to Hon. A. G. Thurman, chairman of the
Democratic State executive committee, in
response to an invitation from that body to
take the stump in favor of the Democratic
ticket lately nominated by the State con-
vention. This Col. Connell very plainly
and squarely refuses to do, on the ground,
first, that Col. McCook, the nominee for
governor, was not really nominated, and,
second, that the party is entering upon the
canvass with false platform, to which he
and other true Democrats cannot subscribe.
The detection of man like Col. Connell
cannot have any other than damaging re-
suit, and now that he has made the break,
we shall not be surprised to see many other
prominent and influential members of the
party following his lead. The dissatis-
faction with the results of the. convention
was wide and outspoken at the time, and
seemed only to acquire the action of a live
man like Col. G. to produce open revolt.

rJ,o THE CoLORED CITIZENS OF vIR

u "A. 2. n y .
A call for a Southern States Convention has
South, to assemble at Columbia, South Carolina,
on the 18th day of October 1871, at l2 O'Clock M
The reasons why this Convention should be
held need not be discussed here they are various
as our condition is complicated.
As the institution of slavery passes away, we
meet in its receding shadow the ills and evils ma
tura to its long existence, and this brings face
to face with new duties which must be ever ag-
gressiye. Our crude civilzation--the heritage of
chattelism--must now give way, and education
must be fostered, industry encouraged, home-
steads founded, and civilization advanced. The
sudden contact of Free Labor with the old ideas
of force has produced an era of confusion; but q
well settled citizenship, with o common interest
with all that pertains to the welfare of the Re-
public, will soon anchor our hopes securely rs
our destinies are fixed with the American Nation
The ratio of representation as required in the
call for the Convention is one delegate from each
Congressional District and two from the State at
large.
In order that we may have harmonious co5pe-
ration it is hoped that each District will select
its most thoughtful and best informed men.
We, the undersigned, respectfully ask the peo-
pie of each District to take such action as will

The Present Day Barber Compared
Win the Old.--An experience of nearly
twelve months among the BARRIERS of Rich
mond, has convinced us there is such a diff
ference between the barber of III and the
barber of '5l, that we are induced to note
some of the most important of these differ
enceS.
The barber of '5l, it is true, did not pos
sess the soft-cushioned chair of to-day, but
he handled your face and head SO tenderly
and carefully, that you forgot the hard and
uncomfortable chair. 1t is true, the bar
Der of to-day possesses keen-edged razor,
but he handles it so carelessly, and drags it
over your face so hurriedly, that one sighs
for the return of the past. After he has
finished carving you, he squirts mixture
of bay rum and water into your face, with
out warming to shut your eyes, which he,
instead of wiping off, slaps from you with
such power as to make yournose bleed. He
then darts his fingers through your hair
once, and with comb elevated above his
head, comes down with the teeth with such
force as to make you jump with pain al
most from your chair. A part behind and
along the side of the head, scraping with
brush, and the ''next gentleman" is CALI
ed. You have got the elegant luxury (!9
all for the sum of fifteen cents. How diff
ferent twenty years ago Then you were
carefully and tenderly handled if the razor
was less keen, your face was carefully
wiped--and then! the scratching and rub
bing of your head delightful ! Who but
the beardless youth of the present day fails
to remember the good old times when it
was real, living luxury to have his head
rubbed and scratched "Things are might
lily changed since my day." said an old wo-
man-and in nothing more than the differ
ence between the past and present day bar
bers. We promise the one who will first
20 back and treat his customers as in days
Of "auld lang syne," he will be overrum
with customers in short time. ff
No greater difference is observed than the
present borish habit of them all, inquiring
anxiously, "Haye your hair cut, sir?"
"Shampooed, sir?" ''Moustache dyed,
sir ?-needs it, sir needs it, | tell you."
Gentlemen BARRIERS, you should remem-
Der when gentlemen call upon you to be
waited on, they know what they want done,
and will ask you to serve them, and then
pay you willingly for it.

MODERN DEMOCRATIC LITERATURE.

| .
Reproduction is one of the laws of ma
ture, and the Wing can no more escape
from its operation, than less self-satisfied
creatures, who do not essay to teach er
c0thedra. ss a., ai-s art
While reading, with much mental graft
fication, the curiosities of modern Demo-
cratic literature, which have recently
graced the generally Addisonian columns
Of the Whig-'' 'thieving carpet-baggers,"
"foul herd" "dirty scalawags," asque ad
,,daseam-a faint idea stole over us that we
had heard that euphony before and the
idea was confirmed by perusing the follow
ing from the Richmond Wing, when that
paper was discussing the uprising at the
North, which followed the wicked madness
of the Southern rule-or-ruin party: 40
be conquered in open and manly fight by
nation of gentlemen, and subjected to their
sway, might not drive us raving distracted
with rage and shame; but for Yankees
the most contemplate and detestable Of
Gods creation-the vile wretches, whose
daily sustenance consists in the refuse of
all other people-for they eat nothing that
anybody else will buy-for them to lord it
over us--the English language must be en-
larged, new words must be invented, to
express the depth of our modification and
shame.
They have very properly long looked up
on themselves as our social inferiors-as
our serfs; their mean, niggardly lives, their
low, vulgar and sordid occupations, have
ground the conviction into them. But of
a sudden they have come to imagine that
their numerical strength gives them power
and they have burst the bonds of servitude
and are running riot with more than the
brutal passions of liberated wild. beast
Their uprising has all the characteristics Of
a ferocious, se,vile ms,oYection.o sEa
Now as the event did occur, which the
gentle Why declared could only be made
tolerable by inventing ''new words" and so
enlarging the "English language" "carpet-
bagger" and "scalawago have proved real
life-preservers, and the Wing is spared to
us! But will that august daily pardon us
if we suggest that this enlargement can
hardly be styled an improvement; and that
further effort in philology may be adyanta-
geously deferred until our financial and in
dustrial interests are in more prosperous
condition.

Drunk on Dady.-Wc don't like to say
anything unkind of our policemen, for they
are generally clever fellows and quite ac-
commodating to us, but then they ought
not get drunk on duty. If we were to do
such thing our boss would soon inform us
of his willingness to accept our resignation,
and, as policemen have no more rights than
we have Except they are Democrats), we
are bound to tell on them when they woat
behave. One was found last night by a
gentleman, asleep and drunk, on his post in
full dress. Phe location has been furnished
us, which we shall leave mmentioned this
time, but with the distinct understanding
that if such cases are reported again, we
will expose the guilty. Remember this,
gentlemen, and keep sober in the future.

all stages of the tide, which in itself will
give depth Of eighteen feet twice daily.
In conclusion, Captain Minor refers to
the condition of the river in November,
1870, when the work may be said to have
commenced, when square-rigged vessels
were unusual arrivals at our wharves, and
the large steamers plying between New
York and Richmond reached our wharves
with difficulty and delay.
He says "thc present condition of our
dock, crowded with vessels in foreign and
coast trade, is the best and truest test of
what has been done thus far, in the short
period of eight months, toward the inn
provement of James river"
