Denton must now come forward and
bend their energies 10 the task Of
forcing the road by that slightly village.

cism that has been woven around them.
Thieves and vagabonds have possessed
themselves Of their confidence by APP

their worst passions, and by threats that
chill and overawe them into slavish
submission. Every conceivable lie that a
deyilish ingenuity and fanstieal malig-
nifty could instil into their very souls has
been burned into their minds and
hearts, until to-day this race at the
South, under these vile, revolutionary
and corrupt teachings, has become sim
ply the dangerous tool Of depraved and
desperate, men. The lash of the slave
driver, the bay OF the blood hound, was
not more effective in bringing the negro
to the task set before him than is the
influence of loyal leagues and loyal
freebooters in forcing from him, for
dark purposes Of rapine and plumber

IL bad been customary IN all the his

sisting Of three hundred and sixty-hve
days until about fifty years before the
Christian era. Julius Cesar then find
ing that by this reckoning the year had
been and was dropping back about six
hours annually, by the advice of an
Egyptian astronomer, enacted that one
day should be added 20 every fourth
year. IN order TO use up this fraction Of
six hours and preserve the year from
falling back still further Now AS the
exact length of the tropical year is
three hundred and sixtv-five days, five

The St. Louis Republican says sew
erai marriages took place IN Maine re-
Gently of IA novel character III cer-
tain Geight,orhood there resided al oId
gentleman who had four sous and one
daughter, and, in the same neighhor-
hood, was another old gentleman who
had on son and four daughters, max
ing ten sons and daughters in all. This
WAS odd, but the oldest part of the
story Is still to come. The sons and
daughters OF the respective families
met, and. meeting, loved, every one of
them. The parents, supposedly aided
and abetted the course of true love,
which so seldom does run smooth.
First, son of one family and daugh-
ter of another would get married,
aud then brothers and sisters
would do the same thing. until
snd the four sons aud one
daughter of the first family have been
united to the four daughters and one
son of another, il ought to be a happy
arrangement. With five families
there are but two mothers-in-law to
person, aud the average man or
woman should, with q reasonable dis
play of courage and patience, be EN-
abied To endure that much of the srti-
Gle. The fact that both fathers are
still alive and bearing the brunt of the
old ladies' nggress!veness as husbands
have to do, renders the situation OF the
newly married people still more pleas
ant. No woman can handle husband
aud sou-iD-law or misunderstanding so
vigorously together as she can either
one alone, and thus it is safe To infer
that the two-fifths of q motber-in-iaw
attached tn each of the five new fami-
lies really represents in force only
about oBe-fifth of the average brand.
