If there is anything eye local" de-
lights in, it is speech from those
who place an estimate on their in
tellectual abilities sufficient to in
duce them to attempt to entertain an
audience of ladies aud gentlemen
We had that precious privilege, free
of charge, recently in certain
lodge not hundred miles from Ma
rietta, by an unknown gentleman.
He began his Grafton, like a swim
mer diving in water; he plunged
boldly in, not knowing where he
would come out-and where he did
come out is a mystery for linguists
and philosophers to solve. He soar
ed to the heights Of sublimity on the
pinions Of big words and Topped
back the best way he could Evil
IDENTITY he is subjec: to be arraigned
for capital punishment, for if the
Kings English was ever murdered
and thrown into a conglomerated
heap, that fellow did it. BoNHAMs
rendition of the Sophomore Orator
Or the Young lawyers address to
the jury, was completely laid in the
shade. His gestures were as frantic
as ever characterized a wildman,
while his delivery rose and swelled
from tho modulated cry of an infant
in its cradle to the screech and
war-whoop of blood-thirsty Indian
on the war-path,
The laughter and chuckles Of his
amused audience seemed to inspire
him with redoubled strength. Cat
erwaul he would and kept running
his fingers through his hair, until
each hair stood on end, like the
quilts of a fretful porcupine. He
finally closed amid deafening APP
plause.
We trust hereafter our friends will
keep a tub of roses on hand, stepped
in lavender, and palm leaf fan

like men may be gently famed and
stored away amid the fragrance Of

you get a good thing, save it =

Is it a Ghost q?

Reader are you superstitious p
Do you believe in ghosts Z Wheth>
err you do or not, we have a tale to
unfold. We have never been initi-
ated in the mystic ties OF Odd Eel
lowship (but our co laborer at our
elbow has, and consequently we are
very "muchly green" At the
meeting Of the 'Encampment," pre-
vious to the last one, we were pass
ing the Odd Fellows Lodge, and
there issued from the interior noise
of many voices, mingled with a soli-
tary cry Of distress, while clank
ing of chains told that invisible be-
ings were at work; shortly after fol-
lowed three distinct raps when all
was silence save the murmur of one
voice. We were seized with terror
and fed. Since then we have been
cycling that building very closely,
and during the present week, we
discovered on the highest part of
the building, fronting the square, a
horse OF golden hue, prancing and
turning, as if he was restless and
discontinued, and desired to make
some warning to the people that
throng the street far below him.
! Whether it is a ghost or not, we
leave it for our readers to Judge
They can see it, too, any day, i
they will place themselves in aprop.
err position. True, we have haG
various surmises. One was tina
this fiery Pegasus had sprung from
the blood of the man, doubtlessly
murdered, on the night above men
toned another was, that probably
it was the Masonic goat escaped
But as these merely are surmises,
the affair is still shrouded in mys-
terry.

Negro Social Equality.

A~Sss-S
This heading has greater signif-
icance as to the degeneracy of our
Republican government than any
other sentence that could be given.
The sentence is so repugnant to
Southern taste, refinement and dig
nifty, that their disgust is inexpress
ibIe, when it is either advocated,
practiced, or sought to be legislated
aud incorporated in the social fabric
of this nation. Sumner, and all his
negro lovers, may hold this heresy to
their hearts as fondIy as they would
cherish the apple Of their eye, but
the Southern people will never de-
grade their manhood, womanhood,
pride and chivairy to such a revolt
lag spectacle. They may legislate,
enact aud proclaim, but they never
can successfully foster this hydra
headed monster, this banefaI social
evil" upon the Southern people,
There is an innate sentimentin their
hearts, which can never be eradica-
ted, to loathe the hand that would
offer such a chalice to their lips.
Ifnegro social equality is ever
practiced in the South, it will be by
Northern extractions, exotics, those
who come among us from distant
cline, where the African and eau
casian, are dwelling in tranquil I'm
consciousness, believing it was but a
mere "accident of birth" and not q
determined purpose of God to create
them distinctive races If God did
not want the two races to be separ-
ate and distinct, then He would not
have given to the Caucasian a pure
white skin, classic mould, straight
and glossy hair, and to the negro a
deep black skin, british visage,
curly and crisp hair. This is an in
disputable line of demarcation, and
they who overleap it, violates Gods
natural law, incur his dispIeasure,
and place themselves in an unevia-
bic position. what is thy servant
dog that he should do this thing 2"
If it is done, it will be by the law of
necessity and not by the option of
choice,
We had related to us few days
ago, where a Northern Methodist
preacher, was practically cured of
his negro equality proclivities. He
was travelling in an upper county of
Cherokee Georgia, and stopped at
the end of day to remain the night
with farmer. He, stranger, was
kindly and hospitality received. At
the supper table, this Northern guest
very earnestly and arduously advo-
vocated negro equality-said he
thought it eminently proper, social
ly and legally right, for the negro to
eat at white mans table, sleep on
his beds and be entertained in his
parlor. The proprietor of the house,
man of Southern principles and
birth, who believes in the SUPERIOR
ty Of the white race, listened to the
mans views in silence, but evident
ly with heated indignation. The
supper was over, the hour of retir-
ing arrived, when the proprietor of
