Wild OATS.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1875.
Champion american Comic Paper !

Illustrated by u corps ofthe best Ameri-
can artists, and contributed to by the
most popular humorists and satirists OF
the day.
Wild OA now enters successfully up
on the sixth year OF its existence, and
has become the established humorous and
satirical paper Of the country. 1t was
started and continued the first year as .
monthly, then, to satisfy the demand Of
the public, it was changed to = fortnight.
IL. Still continuing its good work Of
hitting folly Us it flies, and showing up
the political and social shams by its
nsasterly cartoous and pungent editorials,
it achieved even greater success than
before, and was recognized as thu ablest
aud brightest Of its class. Since then We
Lave yielded still further to the public
demand, and now publish Wild Oats
weekly! 1t has literally grown into its
present shape on its intrinsic merits, be-
ing the first successful weekly humorous
paper ever published in this country.
Among the artists especially engaged
to furnis!, illustrations for Wild Oats are
Frank Bellew, Thomas Worth, Hopkins,
Wales, Shelton, Wolf, Jump, Keettels,
Stuckhardt, Day, Poland, and several
others who are yet known to fame.
In its literary departments Wild Oats
will, rs it always has, stand alone and
unapproachable. At least one tirst-class
serial story will always be found in its
pages, by the best humorous, satirical,
and character writer's in the United
States; while its sketches and squibs
will be sparkling, original and pointed.
Wild Oats will be frst-class in every
particular, and on this account may he
taken into the hest families without fear
or suspicion, as no word or illustration
will appear that can offend tho most fas-
tidiOus.

The North Carolina Election.

SO much attention is given to the desper-
ate battle now being fought in Ohio that
another field nearly as important has been
overlooked. The State of North Carolina
has been fought over this year from the
mountains to the sea, and TO the surprise
of almost everybody the republicans have
swept the State By about fifteen thou sand
majority. Last year it went as largely
Democratic. But just as In Ohio. though
upon other issues, Democracy having
gained the control in North Carolina began
to show its real colors and the question of
a new constitution coming up.it was found
out that it was on the cards if the Demo
Gratis carried the State and elected ma
jority of the convention, TO upset the ex-
listing constitution and TO adopt in its place
one with provisions materially and unfs-
vorably affecting the status OF the col
orcd man and hindering him in his efforts
for education and good citizenship. No
doubt the Democrats, now that they have
lost the state, will deny that they ever intend
ed any such mischief. But the fact is appar-
ent that the people OF North Carolina be-
lieve that such was the intention and on
this as much as upon any issue, the battle
was fought out with the wholesome result
already indicated. 1t is the same story all
around. The things that the Democrats
have most TO fear are premature successes
which lii their party into responsibility.
and oblige them TO display their utter lack
OF the power OF good government. 1t looks
now likely that the Democratic successes
of 1874 will prove the salvation of the
country in the renewed distrust which the
performances made possible by those sue
cesses, are ins piring among the people
Certainly the North Carolina election put s
new face on the prospects. in the South
for 1876. The result this year makes il
plain that the State can be easily carried
next year and few of our readers have for
gotten what an impetus was given in the
canvass OF 1872, when the news came that
after desperate iight.the Republicans had
handsomely won in North Carolina. Our
Democratic friends may discount a good
deal of their Dragging fNorh Carolina is
any indication of how the wind is setting.
