The Colonel's Eat.

Colonel Bangs is very bald, and, in Or
der to induce his hair to grow again, he
is using "a very excellent article called
"Hair Vigor upon his scalp. A week or
two ago he was summoned as O juryman
upon case in the Circuit Court, and
upon the day OF the Trial, gust before the

BY some mlshap the Colonel got hold

not "Vigor," but the bl ,ck varnish with

However, Bangs didn't perceive his mis-

hat, and walked of to the court.room
II was very cola morning, and by the
time the Colonel reached mis- deBtina-

his hat glued fast to the skin, and his
efforts TO take it off gave him frightful

A Democratic Hen ana Republi-

Our County Treasurer, Captain Fry,
has q pair OF pets which have lately
developed alarming political tendencies,
and which should certainly be invests
gated by a committee OIL the House.
lac first Is hen which has existed in a
s late OF comparative happiness until a
short time since, when she became a
victim Vi misfortune, and her happiness
was wrecked. She hatched out brood
of clickens, and three OF them were of
all unmistakable black. From the very
first Biddy was disgusted with her
dusky offspiings, and would have moth
ing to do with tuem; she was a hen of
the purest Caucasian blood, and evident
ly considered tnis case Of involuntary
miscege nation.
Whenever the unfortunate Africans
came near her, she would cackle in
noisy protest, and her face. as far as a
mems face is capable of expression,
would tuke on q look OF deepest disgust.
At last, regardless Of the MI jesty OF the
law, as evidenced iu the fifteenth
Amendment to our Constitution, she
kicked them out Of the home nest, and
turned them adritt upon the mereies OF
the cold world. And This Is where the

started out to the barn where the hens
were kept, to- crush out the maternal

He went straight for the nest to lift her

purpose, but Immediately drew It back
again and tucked It up under the other
arm, and squeezed It q little, while he
drew up his lips as if about 10 whistle
something. Then he stood there and
stared atthe hen, aud she lifted up hei
head and stared back at him, wilkinp
her eyes with singular velocity.

sary of Independence. This "card" is
in the form Of a somewhat extended
circular, written, as from it's hyfaIutin
style we are led to presume, by George
Francis Train, in one Of his craziest
moments.
Among other similar declarations Of
principles we find this:
"Experience has shown that the most
perfect written Constitutions, with all
their caretully-guarded restrictions and
behests, will not suffice 10 maintain our
institutions"
There it is: and what is that but a
declaration that constitutional govern
ment is a failure? A strange PROPOSE
ton, truly, to enunciate in this Centen-
nial year; and that too from an organ
ization distinguished as peculiarly high
church Democratic.
To remedy this failure, by reason OF
the inherent insutticiency of our written
| Constitution "to maintain our fnstitu.
! tions," something further must be sup
piled, or perhaps substituted, in the
opinion OF the Tammany Sachems; and
this substitute, as they think, must be
found in Democratic admins tration.
For, the circular says:
added to these must be Democratic
administration and Democratic laws,
all instinct with Democratic faith in and
devotion to the true principles of our
Constitution"
The singular inconsistency is here
presented of fret pronouncing the Con-
stitution a failure, and then declaring
laith in and devotion to the principles
of this failure. But such absurdities
are generally permitted to 60 for moth.
ing in Tammany logic. AS the drunken
Rip Van would say, such things ''don't
count" And the Chiefs of this "wig.
. wan" have been most fierce and furious
in their efforts to defeat Governor Tilder
at St. Louis, the man who has won dis
tinction as Reformer by attacking the
yillainies of this Tammany Ring, Of
which ssBoss Tweed" was the shining
light and the chief apostle.
