riotous behavior by republican negroes

The radicals of Kansas have shown
their affection for the Germans by NOM
mating Geo. F. Anthony for governor;
a man who in public speech at Leaven-
worth said: ''Carl Schurz is a foreign
pimp, an intruder upon the American
people, and deserves to be expelled
from the pale of the republic."i That
was when Schurz was not training with
the radical crew. Now thathe is, it would
be apropos to send him to Kansas to
stump the state for Hayes and Anthony.
Remember, foreigners, whether you be
Germans, Fren chmen, Irishmen, Sweeds
or what not, that if you dare to differ
from this Anthony you will be held by
him to be foreign pimps and intruders
in this free republic 'f- - '-.'

The Easton Star has the following
about two diminutive young ladies from
the lower part of Delaware, who are
attracting attention. just now: The two
dwarfs-the Misses Marine exhibited
at the Paragon House last week by Mrs.
Under, from Greensborough. are truly
extraordinary natural curiosities. These
young ladies were born and raised in
Sussex County, Delaware. Miss Lizzie,
20 years old, Is 50 inches tall, and
weighs IS pounds. Miss Amanda, 10
years old, is 81 inche, tall, and weighs
but so pounds. They have good heads,
of the natural size, are intelligent, and
convene duently. They have no bones
in their bodies, only . sort of muscle or
cartilage, and can bend their hands and
fingers in any direction. They do besu-
tiful needle-work, such a embroidery,
etc. There il nothing at ell unpleasant
their appearance, except that they are
mall and look odd. They have not
travelled heretofore, but intend next sum-
mer to visit the Centennial and exhibit
