Another Specimen.

Stephen j. Meany is one of the orators
from whom the Greeley crowd expect
much. just now he is on the stump for
the mild and benificent Horace in Penn
sylvania. This man is one of the most
incendiary demagogues in the country.
Before he left the old country he was
convicted of some misdemeanor in con-
nection with the London Exposition, and
sentenced to imprisonment for twelve
months. After serving out his term, in
1862 he came to the United States. AT
ter the suppression of the July riots in
1871, he attempted to provoke another
outbreak, and we subjoin some sentences
from a speech he made to an excited
crowd on that occasion, as reported in
the Sun, one of Greeley's most unscrup-
ulous organs
"These are times when ITishmen must
take 10 heart some OF the gravest thoughts
which ever filed mans heart. First, how
can we avengc the blood which has been
shed, wild applause,l and second, how
can we secure to men Of our blood, our
breeding, and our bone their proper place
in the land of our adoption ?' ''ShalI Or
angemen rule New York No" u pray
ed that i might see the day when my
countrymen's blood would be avenged"
"Nurse your wrath to keep it warm" ''Be
patient. but do not be- forgiying." ''This
may not be a Christians counsel, but -
II IS the only advice ] can give you"
"Swear that Orangemen shall never again
parade here swear that they shall never
again carry their devilish flag in our
streets"
And this man is now perambulating
the country in the guise of a reformer,
repeating the yilest ISLANDERS against
President Grant and striving to excite
luminosity against him in the minds of
the ignorant and unthinking people who
gather to listen to hts harangues. Such
are the tools with which the Greeleyite
ehow-chow managers are working
Even lrishmen repudiate him. Troy

patient. 1t locks up the liver, stops the
circulation of the blood, hemOrrhage tOl-
lows, and, in fact, clOgging the action of
the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the
causes of tWO-thirdS of the cases of con-
sumption. Many are now complaining
with dull pain in the side, the bowels
. sometimes cOStlVe and sometimes 100
loose, tongue coated, pain in the shoulder
blade, feeling sometimes very restless and
at other times drOWSy; the food that is ta-
ken lies heavily on the stomach, accom-
panied with acidity and belching of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from Il
disOrdered condition of the stomach or Il
torpid liver. Persons so affected, if they
take one or two heavy colds, and If the
cough in these cases be suddenly stopped,
the lungs, liver and stomach clog, and re-
main torpid and inactive, and before the
patient is aware of his situation, the lungs
are a mass of sores; and liberated, ana
death is the inevitable result.
SChenck'S PulmOnlc Syrup is an eNpcc-

suddenly.
Schenck's Seaweed tonic dissOlves the
food, mixes with the gastric juice of the
stomach, digests easily, nOurishes the sys-
tenn, and creates a healthy circulation or

THE ooLoRED PEOPLE.

THE COLORED PEOPLE.
The negroes are making more improv-
ment relatively to their circumstances
than the whites are. They are becom-
ing Industrious and are fond of acquir-
ing property. 1t is not uncommon for
them to own lots in the towns, or thirty,
forty or sixty acres in the country. They
are extremely eager to learn. The field
hands are more backward than those
who live in the towns.
THEIR PIETY AND THEIR PREACHING. :.
They are of very religious turn of
mind, and are excessively fond of re-
ligious exercises. In singing they get
very highly excited. Sometimes-while
they sing of heaven, for example-they
have a general Misunderstanding, and indeed
put their whole bodies into motion-the
pantomine Simplifying that they desire to
90 to Heaven. They are very prone to
have dreams and frances. A colored
woman who went to Heaven in a trance,
reported that she saw the Savior there
''knocking around right peert," and she
added that he was cooking white cab
bage, and that she had her fill of it. The
negroes have few churches and their
meetings are usually held in the open
air. The cOlored preachers are generally
ignorant, often unable to read their
texts but their uttGrances are not IN
frequently very interesting and impress
i've. 1t is one of their peculiarities to
introduce a scriptural character, such as
Abraham, or EOld Noah, and enter into
personal conversation with him. Such
colleagues, singular as they seem to us,
sometimes reach the highest pitch of
elOquenCe.
NEGRO SONGS.
The colored people are almost uniyers-
ally musical. Some of the good ones, it
is true, are shy of instruments. Mrs.
named ZeBe, whether he played the fid-
die Strengthening himself up, he re-
piled, ''No, SIR, Use a professor oh de
church :" But they all sing. Col. Tar
bell has kindly written out for me sew
eral Of the songs used by the negroes
upon his plantation. Below are couple
of specimens. The first is entitled

THE COUNTRY.

The surface of the country is gener-
ally scarcely even rolling; though
there are some inferior hills. The seen
cry is not variegated as with us, but
there IS great sameness in its appear
ance. 1t has the look of a wilderness
amidst which the plantations are located
at distances of two, three or perhaps six
miles from each other. Only about one
half of the land (5G-1OOths) has been
cleared. In most parts the land is eX-
ceedingly productive, and it yields a
great variety of productions.

A BROAD CHURCH.

Gamblers, drunkards and horse-jockies
are received into church membership if
they express a wish to join, and without
any pretense of conyersion-the notion
being that it is well for them to be sur

sentiment and vindictiveness instead of
forbearance and ong-suffering. A lady

The white religionists feel a strong
antipathy towards Christians from the
North. The ladies never call upon Mrs.
Tarbell A clergyman while paying his
respects one day remarked that his wife
was wishing to call, but that the sub
iect had been agitated in the community
and that she was threatened with ostra-
cism at least if she should venture to
call At revival meeting there, the
minister warned the people to have as
little to do with the Yankees as possible.

Some of the customs are notable. In
the country, when visiting is to be done,
the whole family-adults, children and
dogs-go in the morning and stay all
day, or longer Sunday visiting and
Sunday riding are common, even with
church members. As you approach a
gate you cry Halloa To alight pre-
yiousiy to this would be breach of i'm
politeness. Your first question may
probably be, ''Does your dog bite 2" If
you wish to call a servant Cor indeed any
one else) the formula is-H0, John !!
As you enter house, you shake hands
all around, and you repeat the ceremony
on leaving, though your stay may have
been short. The customary forms of
salutation are-H0'o d'y', and Hons all
at home, or Hoao's all: the responses be-
-70lerd5e, or Up and about, or
Heard no complaints. The inquiry hay
ing been answered must be returned.

ROUGH RELIGION.
HARDsHELL CEREMONIES


They have in that region a worthy
class of religionists known as the, Hard
shell Baptists, called sometimes more
respectfully, Primitive Baptists. The
ceremonial washing of feet is apart of
their sacramental service. Mrs T. was
present on one of these occasions. The
minister and a wealthy neighbor ex-
changed the courtesy, and the other
members through the various grades
downward, paired off in similar man
ner. After the white people had done
with the water, the towels, the bread
and the wine what remained was passed
over to the colored people, who retired
with it to the further corner of the
room, and the white saints went on with
the other services.

they found the bisons in thousands, and
the hunters "went In" Mr. Akers singled
out an old patriarch of the herd, chased
him few miles, and after few successful
shots brought him down. After his own
game was secure, he commenced looking
around for the rest of the party.
The senator had also singled out
an old bull, and driven him apart from the
rest Of the herd and was in II little ravine

PEN PORTRAIT or JEFFERSON.
BY JAMES PARTON.
Prom the January Atlantic

FROM the January huAntc.l
Jefferson was stripping of seventeen, tall,
raw-boned, freckled, and ancy-hsircd,
when. in 100 he came TO Williamsburg
from the far west Of Virginia. TO enter the
College Of William and Mary. With his
large feet and hands, his thick wrists and
prominent check bones and chin, he could
not have been accounted handsome or grace
ful. He is described, however, as fresh
bright, healthy looking youth, as straight
ns gun-barrel, sinewy and str,ng, with
that alertness Of movement which comes
of early familiarity with saddle, gun, canoe
minuet and country dance-that sure
elastic tread and ease OF bearing which we
still observe in country-bred lads who have
been exempt from the rudcr tolls ofagricul-
ture, While enjoying, in full measure, the
freedom and the sports of the country.
His teeth, too, were perfect which alone
redeems countenance destitute Of other
charm. his eyes. which were of hazel
gray, were bcaming and expressive and
his demeanor gave assurance of II gentle
heart and sympathetic, inquisitive mind.
Such lads, eager and informed still come
to college from honest country homes in re-
gions where agriculture is carried on upon
n scale that allows some leisure to the
farmers family, some liberality Of eI-
penditure, books music, tincture Of art,
and hospitatlc habits. How welcome, how
| dear, to instructors worthy Of them, are
such unhackneyed minds in bodies un-
impaired
