"A barber at Lampasas, Texas
thought it queer that he had never
seen a white door knob in that State,
and he put one on his front door.
No sooner was the job finished than
the citizens began to fire at the choice
target, and the barber retired to the
cellar until the knob was shot off,
His door opens now with string
running through q bullet hole.
"a Midsummer's night Droam,1
as a spectacle, is the piece with
which the season has has opened at
the Grand Opera House. The Zflb-
une says of one of the "effects" in
troduced: at is really quite con
fusing to have so intimate an ac-
quaintance with the calves and the
garters of so many females thrust as
it were upon the unexpectant mind -
This is the way in which Min
nesota newspaper. talks about agri7
cultural colleges: perhaps, if we
were to make pick of humbugs, an
agricultural college, as now organ
lied, would come nearer the perfect
product than anything else likely to
come to hand. Experience demon
strates that the more young men are
educated to be farmers the less they
are disposed to try the occupation. /"

Cannot the Democrats of Ohio
preceive that party so precariously
dependent upon the utterauces of
a single man has outlived its power
and is usefulness, and that it pos
sesses none of the robust attributes
that the times demand. If the
Democratic party could detach itself
from the late war, it might perhaps
hope to succeed. But it cannot do
this. 1t cannot even detach itself
from jefferson Davis. It cannot
convince the people of the North
that the confederate ex President.is
not a Demo cratic preceptor after the
war as he was before it, and for this
reason it can never become an active
and useful power in our politics,-St.

The New York Herald continues
to fiddle at its Cesarian farce, while
the world moves on as smoothly as
ever. It would be well if some one
would stop to remember that there
was just this same talk of third
term at the close of the administra-
tion of Washington, Jeffe. son, Madi-
son, Monroe and jackson, and that
the gentlemen were not elected, did
not try to be, and that the country
is still safe. It's a curious fact that
our modern Caesar has been steadily
reducing his army to as weak a
thing as the Constitution will per
nit. Our recollection of the course
of Julius and the Napoleons is some
what diferent.-Cincianati Times.
The fancy of Balzac, that thirteen
men could accomplish anything they
would agree upon, seems to be sus-
tanned by the report of Kuklnx out
RACES just published in the Louis
vile Courier Journal. 1t enumerates
Sc outrages committed in Henry,
Owen, and Franklin counties, and
states that the organization in all
this district does not embrace more
than 100 men. Small as this num-
Der is, it is sufficient to establish
reign of terror in those three coun-
lies, and to induce the citizens to
confess their inability to repress
.hese malefactors, and to call upon
he State Government for military
lid against them. 1t is an old story
the rouges have all the energy
here is in the community.
"Way down South" when a cub,
our paper was printed on Ramage
,y an old darkey pressman named |
sam. The forms were always placed |
IN the press ready for him; and SO
With well-trained negro roller boy, |
he working-off of the paper pro
,ressed satisfactorily. But it hap,
,ened one day that Sam, who could |
lot read, was thrown on his own re-
sources. He put the form to press
nd pulled sheet; looked at it in
ntently, turned it round and turned |
t over, something was the matter;
lie looked again, felt the tympan,
leld the sheet up to the light, and |
ooked over his spectacles at the
roller-boy, exclaiming,
Loo heah, boy, for why yer don't
stribit yer rollah9" The form was
,ottom up.
That irreverent journal, the Bos-
on AdUer'iser, thus account for the
domination of "Old BilI'' by the
Buckeye Bourbons: This Allen is
u uncle of Senator Allen G.. Thur
nan, and to ali intents aud purposes
lis c4ndidate. Th4 election of
,ena.or is the great business of the
ext Legislature, and it is said that
determination to pre-.
erve old party lines was owing in
,art to his conviction that he stood
10 chance of re election if the So
allied Allen county movement was
.pproved. The Democracy recog-
izing that this was to all intents
nd purposes his fight, permitted
i'm to name his candidate, and he
ersuaded his uncle to come to the
ront once more. 1t wilt be SO much
he worse for the Democracy, and
ot a particle better for Thurman. /
