- D. HAGAN u
For Governor of Arkansas,

NOT 10. BROOKS BY A - SIGHT.
There is to be another class-meeting to-
day among the cotton kings and princes,
when large amount Of experience will be
brought out.
A lady having the misfortune to have her
husband hang himself on an apple tree, the
wife of neighbor came to beg a branch of
that tree to have grated into one in her Or
chard, "for who knows" says she, "but
what it may bear the same kind of fruit"
James Howell, the manipulation of the
educated hog, and Miss Lodi Dournell, the
beautiful Circasian woman, were married
in Vicksburg recently.
A Georgia colored lyceum discussed the
question, (Which was the most useful, pa
per or gunpOwder?" The debate was clos
ed by a disputant who spoke as follows:
'Mr. President-'Spose dar was a bar out
dar at de door, and you was to 60 dar and
shake de paper at him, you'd see what de
bar would do. But jess shoot a cannon at
him, and mark de result. l calls for de
question" The President forthwith Jeci-
ded in favor of powder.
A farmer near Nashua, New Hampshire,
recently bargained his farm to another farm
er for 50, 900, but when the Gay and purcha-
ser arrived, informed him that his wife was
in Mysteries about the trade, and be guessed
be would back out. "But," said the pur-
chaser, 81 have come long distance, want
the farm, and must have it. How much
would induce you to sell?" "Well." replied
the agriculturist, "giVe me $3.50 more and
let her cry"
An exchange tells the following: a cap
ital joke, and all the more palatable because
it is true and can be vouched for, took place
a few Sundays since at one of the promi-
nent Cincinnati Churches. 1t seems
that worthy deacon Las been very indus
trious in selling a new Church book costing
seventy-five cents. At the service in ques-
ton, the minister, just before dismissing
the congregation, arose and said: "All you
who have children to baptise viii please pre-
sent them next Sabbath The deacon, who
is little deaf, and having an eye to selling
the books, and supposing bis pastor was re-
ferring to them, Immediately jumped up and
shouted: 'And all who haven't any can
get as many as you want by calling on me,
at seventy-five cents EACH" The preacher
looked cross-eyed at the deacon; the audi
ence punched each other in the side; and the
bubble grew larger until it burst in a loud
gufiaw, ladies colored up, blushed, and
thanked the Lord for the low price of peo-
ping the earth. There was no benediction
that morning worth speaking of.

Taking about ssorganie remains" listen
TO this simple story;
Six tunes, in ali, think he ground
Six rasping, whee-whaw, wheezy tunes,
All summer long he came around,
And ground away the afternoons.
One darned eternal hOrrid grind,
OF Captain Jinks, and Not for Joe,
A German waltz, and Aud Lang Syne,
An Irish Jig, and jump Jim Crow.
This organ grinder had, ween,
A look all humble and forlorn,
And furthermore, of red and green,
A monkey dressed in uniform.
His monkeyship was keen and cute.
So clever, too, that began
To side with Darwin, and TO boot
/ thought the monkey most man.
One afternoon the two came round
As usual, and a-grinding STOOD
When 10 an earthq make shook the ground,
And buildings of the neighborhood.
There was a sudden stampede then,
From Easements through TO attic hooks,
Or children, women, dogs and men,
And bottle washers and chief cooks,
Pell nell, the cultured and ill-bred
Without regard to cOurtesies;
They found the organ grinder dead
To all intents and purposes.
At least the fragments, lean and lank
LOok'd something like him when adjusted
Also a surplus tail and crank,
PrOv'd clearly org and monk. had busted.
Sequel.
Some wag the organ lock had sprung
The night before, as could be seen,
And hidden in its wheezy lung
An ounce of nitro-g lycerine.

means 70 shut eyes to the stealing
and corruption OF the Democratic party
and place then in power, for The pur-
pose Of giving Letter opportunities to

pie are not quite so vel liant as yonr
proportion implies. They ..>n notfor-
get all Of the past, they can not forget
":ammsny' and there are many ii. ings
OF tho past that should not be forgotte.r.
we must not forget that the nation
owes its life to the Republican party,
for II the Republican party had been
divided as was the Dem ,cratic party
oar government would have been over,
thrown. But john want: US to forget
that the Republican party stood a. one

One j. B. Kildow who settled at

i'll a smslI way, ard who didn't settle
in Savannah bvcaase he was afraid to
come in competition as a deDater and
business man with Irish Tommy-this
Eil,iow who is a cross between q scrub
jscksss'and a thorough paced mustang
has been writing letters to the NeD
Era III which he says "the editors OF
the Republican have certainly but lit
tie sense themselves Or think their rea-
ders have not, or they would not feed
them on such hash az Prices poor
house prorlamat;ons."
The attempted display of Journals
tic virtue and Intelligence by Kildow i'll
the foregoing paragraph is alb ,nt Is
brassy as any thing we have heard from
that brassy individual. If John really
desires to see Q reformation in journal
ism, why doesn't he commence putting
his own household in order by taking a
new departure from his long established
habit of trsducing the characters of men
simply because they happen to be OPP
posed to him in politics? The fact
that the article from which the above
Is clipped does not contain N single
line Of argument. or the statement OF
q single fact, but is composed solely
of personal abuse and bombast, shows
not only how reckless Kildow is, but
what an ignoramus or knave he is,
Although the purchase of the poor
farm was simply business transaction
by the County Court which Mr.. Price,
as q tax payer. certainly had a right
to critscise if he saw proper, and which
had nothing to do with politics, this
man Kildow instead of answering
Prices criticisms drags in politics, and
personalities, and plays the demagosue
and black guard to the disgust Of all
decent citizens of both parties. We
ask our readers and friends in the CO.
untry DO compare this letter of Kildow's
. with "Prfcr's poor house proclamation"
anithen judge between them which is
the p. crest quality of hash, and what
kind of q chap this is, who parades him
self as the special champion Of enlight-
encd Journalism. When we eo,nmenc-
ed writing we lid purposed going
through this chap generally, but the
poor imbeciie isn't worth the ammuni-
ton.
