DENMARK AND aERMA NY.

The Standard says the Schleswig question is
assuming serious aspect in consequence of
the daily expulsion of Danish subjects and the
hostile tone of the German press. Public
opinion will compel the government to send
formal protest to Berlin and ultimately re-
taliate by the expulsion of German subjects
from Danish soil.

public as opposed to three terms.

the other. As in all contests between
the races, the poor niggers would get the
worst of it. But I think Grant will save
them and US from this dire aff1iction.
Bless your soul, the negroes don't want

about it. 1t is their over-zealous white

The day it becomes law, if it ever
should, will be the saddest day in the
history of the South. l think Grant un-
derstands this, and he will not lay this

"Yo ou say, Judge, that you think Grant
could be elected if the election should
occur now. Do you think he will be as
strong two years hence p
ayes, sir and stronger. He is stronger
now than shree months ago. He in
creases in strength every day. He is
stronger than his party. He is stronger
than any dozen men in his party or out
of it. The man does not walk on the
earth who can beat him. To get third
term, all he has to do is to let his willing
ness be known. Who is there to take
his place? Is there Republican who
can do it? Mention him? Is there
Democrat? No. Grant stands out con-
splcuously and alone, the man for the
times and the place" III. V. r.

Those who do not believe in omens

it by, if they fear to have their faith dis

An old gentleman whose style was Ger

An Obituary Editor.

Two or three years ago was attached
to the Morning Argus, the only paper pub
hshed in our village, and, during my en-
gagement, we employed as an assistant
editor young man named Drinker.
When Drinker began his duties, the man
ager said to him:
"See here, Drinker, among other
thlngs,1 want you, whenever you see in
the exchanges or anywhere, good bio
to clip it out and put it away, SOS when
he dies, you understand, we can rush it
out as an obituary article, as it were"
Drinker went to work, and about two
months afterward some wellknown man
died, and examined the obituary bu
reau for the purpose of obtaining his his
tory. 1t was not there but discovered
that the insidious Drinker had stored
away in that mortuary receptacle, one
biographical sketch of John Wesley, a
collection of anecdotes about Gen. Put
nam, and an essay upon the Life and
Services of John Hancock"
| commenced with Drinker upon the
subject
"Mr. Drinker," said, after calling his
attention to the article about the father
of Methodism, "You certainly must be
aware that John Wesley died long be-
lore you CAME 1QGO GQlS OLQC0.
"N-n-no!' exclaimed Drinker, with a
"Wh-wh-whatl John Wesley dead |
That great and good man goneI Thunder
Why, it's too bad l had no idea of such
a thingl What a shock it must have
been to his familyl"
"And as for Gen. Putnam, Drinker,
it is perectly absurd for you to pretend
that you thought he was alive, you know.
Come now, that's too much"
"Is he dead, too? Well, well. The
fact is, I've been living down in the
country for two or three years, and
haven't kept the run of things. And so
old Putnams dead. That noble old man.
Strange, strange, how were passing
away"
"And, Drinker, you certainly can't be
such an idiot as to have put away this
article about Hancock, with the expecta-
ton that he would die again. You know
he did die once. Why, Drinker, he died
about 10000 years ago"
"Corae. nowl' exclaimed Drinker, ex-
ultingly. give got you there. Ali ahl
Died 10000 years ago, did he, smarty?
You know too much. You think every
body's fool but yourself. Dead. is he?
Now, what's the use of your trying to
stuff that down me, when 1 know well
enough that the Democrats talked abeut
running Hancock for the Presidency at
the last electionl o, pshaw! You ain't
fit to write for any paper that's got any
sense"
Then Drinker was discharged. I didn' t
enlighten him. He will probably go
down to the grave with the firm convic-
ton that Gen. Hancock is the man who
set copy for the miserable penmen who
signed the Declaration of Independence.

HARD TINES.

| HARD TINES.
l awoke this morning and looked ou
upon the hot and dusty streets of Allan
ia, the famed capital of the Empire Stat.
of the South. The population were astir
going about their daily business. The
sound of hasty footsteps upon thu
stony pavement, the rattle of drayI
and street cars, and the clangor o
engine bells filled the air. At
lanta is a live, bustling, busy place
What there is to make city / don't
know, and never could find out; but
that there is city here, and very live
and progressive one, is apparent to every
man who comes this way. 1t has inn
proved since 1 was here, and continues
to improve, although there seems to be
no real ground upon which to base the
extravagant expectations of the corner
lot owners and suburban real estate
speculators.
But times are hard, the weather is dry
and wall of financial distress comes
into Atlanta from all the surrounding
country The people say that they are
in debt, and that there is no money in
the country to pay the country's debts
Cash readily commands two per cent 4
month, and the rural population can
hardly get it at that. They are in debt,
oppressed and not at all cheerful about
future prospects. They say something is
wrong, for they used to have plenty of
money to conduct their business, and
they conclude that the fault is with the
National Bank SYSTEM q system which
they think is kept alive by the money
influence of the North in Congress.
But there is, something worse than dry
weather, short crops, hard times and

This is putting it strong, but you have
only to mix awhile with the Southern
people to realize that they mean Just
what they say under this head, and that
their anticipations of impending evil
from the passage of that measure are not
without basis.
THE THIRD TERM.
Closely connected with the civil rights
agitation is the third-term proposition
which meets with so much favor here

the Southern people have an idea that
Grant will veto the Civil Rights Bill, and

ruin, for the prevailing belief here is that
the passage of that bill in its present
shape means the absolute destruction of
Southern schools, Southern society and
Southern prosperity. They have no hope
from Congress, believing that that body
is completely under the control of the
Northern Radical element, who hate
every Southern whiteskin with an abid-
ing and eternal hatred. 1t is useless to
argue with them on this point. They
believe that the Civil Rights Bill was de-
signed for the degradation and humilia-
tion of the South, and the destruction of
everything that Southern men hold dear
