house, as he said, to give him ga good cussin' -
taking his two farm hands with him, to see the
way in which he should use up that " darned
rascal who had dared TO use his mules" Com
ing TO his man he began his TRADE, when he was
invited, or dared, to get out of his wagon
Thinking, doubtless, that anybody that would
take dare, would steal sheep" the "cusser y

and tumble fsticuff. He didn't hit but once
however, before he found himself measuring his
length upon the ground, where the man he went
to whip had thrown him. Oh! what fall was
there About this time the wife of the other
man came upon the field and begged her hus-
band not to strike that " little man." At her
request the little fellow +" was allowed 10 get

The Elkton Wig says Mr.. Lewis T. Roberts
has, on his farm at Elk Landing a four-footed
chicken. This, it proposes, shall be kept and
given as a reward to some honest Democratic Of
fetal. Poor Wig, totally despairng of ever see
ing such an anamoly as an honest Republican
office-holder, he looks hopefully forward to the
coming time when the Democracy shall take the
reins of government. Evidently the poor fellow
regards it as a great political Millennium, for,
whereas big salaries, fine houses, &C., were not
sufficient reward TO enable anyone to discover an
honest Republican, honesty among the Democ-
racy will be so plenty that chicken will be high
enough reward for the little amount of trouble
it will take to find honest officials.

TERnrBLE THIRTY MINUTES HIsroRY Mr.
Kyle was at near neighbors house raising, and
Mrs. Kyle with the smaller of her two children,
went 10 spring near by TO do her washing
After being engaged some time she heard a
scream from her little girl whom she had left at
the house, and Fastening to the scene it was her
horror TO behold a huge rattesnake lying there
with its fangs fastened in the childs arm. She
succeeded in killing the snake, and then think
ing of her child which she had left at the
spring, fastened there, only to find that this one
had climbed up to the tub of water, fell in, and
was drowned This nearly crazed her. and she
ran with all her might to the neighbours where
the house-raising was, and screaming with ex-
element called TO her husband, who at the time
was upon the building, and he, through excite
ment, in trying to get down, pulled a piece of
timber oil upon him and fell, killing him instant
ly. The friends then went back to where the
child and snake were, only to find each dead ly-
ing the floor. This all happened within
thirty minutes.-East Wayne County Tenn. J

The Negro in Congress.

any notice during the session that has inst closed
| Elliot OF South Carolina, and he only because
of single speech which was supposed 10 be re-
markable because it did e,nanate from negro
| Better speeches were made every day by white
men which provoked no comment. The other re-
presenatives Of the black and mulat,o people in
| CongresS-Raiuey, Cain, Walls, Ransier and
Lynch-were complete nonentties. We notice
this in no spirit of prejudice, but because the
fact has political and social value. These six
coored men may properly be supposed to be the
pick of their race, the best representatives of its
| intelligence and culture. One of them is serving
his third, and two of them their second terms in
Congress, so half the number has had some Con-
gressional experience. And yet, immediate re-
presentatves though they be of II race number
ing four millions of people, not one of them has
originated IL measure nor put forth an idea, not
one has distinguished himself by committee
work, not one Las appeared above The dull level
of mediocrity except Elliott, who made one
speech which occasioned notice because as we
have said, it was made by a negro. Lynch, it is
true, has also made speech, but ii was in a Re-
publican caucus, in which he declared that no
matter how bad the Republican party might be

patronzingly by casual Republican member
and ignored almost wholly by the rest of the
House. What are we to learn from this failure
of the negro in staiecraft? Shall we put it to-
gether with the failure of the negro youths at
West Point and the inconspicuous positions
reached by negroes who have entered the learned
professions, and conclude that the race, as a
whole, is incapable Of rising much above the in
tellectual average which has characterized it
since it has been known in history? Or shall
we accept the plea of its particular friends and
believe that it is emerging from its childhood and
needs only the white mans forty centuries ofcul-
ture and experience to rival him in his intellec-
tual achievements? The question is one of i'm
portance, because it bears upon the immediate
future of our politics, our social condition, and
our material prosperity.-N !. World.
