SHE WANTED TO KNOW THE LAWS

On last Monday q sad eyed, sorrowful colored
woman mistook the DEMoGRAT Office for cheap
law shop, and entering told the following tale of
Of woe, in the disjonted manner always conse-
quent when grief speaks out 10 smother pride
II wants to know what the laws of this town Is,
or isn't they nOne?'
We looked correspondingly sad and sighed for
the obscure fate Of Chandler, Kerl, Green Chap
man and other unbest men who squandered pre-
cious time in writing grammars; but she cohtin-
ued

Where is your husband?" our reporter kindly
asked she sobbed heavily, and continued:
"Why, another man abused him powerful bad,

my man got sixty days for H. an he'sin jail now,

pitifully. d

OUR OPERA MAN.

Our Opera man SO imperlous and great,
Had his mind taken up with affairs of the State,
And our city, our schools, and 0ppry all,
Were run by this man with no troubleat all;
No trouble at all
Our city improvements he still kept In view, p
But took care in so doing to help himself too;
And If one said word to throw doubtOn his plan
Thdt one was Immediately placed under ban.
Placed under his ban
Itwas lovely, so long as he run the machine
Handled all of the money, and thought us all
green;-
But now, he may answer the Courts earnest call,
And see ifhe'll meet with no trouble at all
ln' H No trouble at all
His Gas.FittiDg trip TO the East, 1t Is known,
Az usual, was Just in his interest alone;
The election at hand, he worked hard with the

Hoping, doubtless, for more Of this Gas Fitting
thing! Uf.i ....

In making appointments he managed II nice,
securinga fee--in mighty good slice
In fact In all projects this Odtin e'er run,
He always took care Of himself Number one

In the Allen campaign he was laying his plan
The leader was he OF the Radical clan
The old Rep establishment issued his sheet
That was to up-topple "old Mack" from his feet

But alas for the workings of human designs,
When to unnghteous aims the protector inclines
The Sordid, mean trickSter, will not always be
