A New WAY TO RAISE MONEY
On Sunday morning last, as the express

down the brakes, reversed his engine,
sy'unu1s'Tttsv- -A.,d- made every ex,
ertion to stop his train. But the! body
being in an acute curve, all his. efforts
to stop were unayailing,. and the,
cars passed over him. When picked.
up it proved to be Larkin r. Par
ker, of Wilkinson County. Both legs:
were severed above the knee He lived
only three hours after the accident.
The Savannah. Advertiser and Repub.
lican learns that Parker was supposed to.
have been trying to- raise money. He.
had heard of damages fromrailways, and
was heard beforehe went to,the track to-
remark that he intended to get the Cen,
trail to cut off one leg. recover ak or
seven thousand; dollars, and, forever after.
live at his ease, He therefore stuck ONE,
leg over the track, whilst getting that
cut of, got both severed, and, in addition

The Farmers fight.

We are confident of success in the canvass
for Governor, if the people are thoroughly
aroused Victory will not be won BY. speeches
in the Richmond Theatre. nor by rhetoric on
the Court Green. The voters must be seen at
their homes and their presence at the polls Sc
cured BY neighborhood organizations The truth
of the matter is, if we wish to avoid remediless
ruin we must give ourselves to the work OF drill
ing, from this time on, till the day Of election.
IF you desire to know what Radical success
signifies, read Beauregard's letter to General
Early. Hear his story of Louisiana, where es-
tates rich as the banks of the Nile cannot be
sold for shilling an acre. The taxes are more
than the net proceeds of the crops and every
year the planter sinks in debt to the Govern
ment. He cannot emigrate for there is no pur-
chaser for his land, and if he tolls on, it is with
out hope, for the revenue is consuming the
fruits of his labor and will finally confscate his
home. The farmer is the first stripped by the
negro supremacy. Professional men can hive
under any government. Where the. locusts
pitch, every growing thing perishes-.the tillers
of the soil suffer On our success the agricul-
turists ought to be the most deeply interested.
The day the Caucasian colors are struck in this
State, Virginia doom is sealed. The hoof oil

greedy grasshoppers filing the land.-Le1ing

Free Schools and Radicals.

The negro party of Virginia is very anxious

sorts of promises about extension and develop.
ment of the system. An Alabama exchange

the following paragraph:
Each year that he held the Office of super
intendent of public instruction Col. Hodges,
Conservative had an average Of $4,000 white
pupils and 41,000 black pupils in the public
schools of the State for the usual number of
months. Joseph Fl. Speed, Radical, had been
10 Office but few months until the fourishing
schools to the control of which he succeeded
had ceased to exist; and the deserted school
houses of whole Commonwealth stand to-day
so many monuments of the incompetency of
himself and his Radical associates in the State
administration. The men now in power here,
by virtue of negro votes, have increased the
taxes fifty per cent, stripped the treasury OF
almost its last dollar, destroyed utterly the cred
it of the State, and closed the only schools 10
which the poor of both races could hope for the
rudiments of education

Aunt Hannah's Advice.

And so YOU have quarrelled with David?
And hide it as we'll as you can,
I know at this moment you're thinking
That he is q horrible man.
He has no regard for your feelings,
He looses his hold on your heart.
And each has confessed to the other,
That both were much better apart.
When David was thoughtful and kind,
In all your vexations so helpful,
To all of your follies so blind:
And now, O. er the gateway of Eden,
The Sword of the angel is crossed,
And you miss all the sweetness and sunshine
The joy of paradise lost
You think you have done all your duty,
Have prayed and have labored in vain,
And feel, as husband that David
Has really no right to complain.
But let us sit down in the twilight,
And talk DER the subject awhile;
Before you take leave of the meadow
IT'S well that you pause on the stlle
,Tis likely that David is fretful,
And careless at times it is true;
His business absorbs him too closely,
But is he not working for your
So when he comes home in the evening,
Quite silent. and thoughtful. and queer.
Just let your heart keep up its singing.
And pretend you don't notice, my dear.
For Just as scratch on the finger
Will heal if you let it alone,
So many trouble or grievance
That David or you may have known,
Would soon have been gone and forgotten
And left not scar on the heart,
Had either been fond and forgiving,
Had you never supposed you could part.
IT'S your duty to yield, and you know it;
You will if you're true to your trust;
Your God and your honor demand it,
And David is gentle and just.
Don't keep any bones ofcontention;
Don't hold to this terrible strife;
But make him much better husband,
By being a much better wife.
