The Way the Soutl, is Made solid"

VIM. Kingsley Jr.. formerly citizen
of Escanaba Mich, has just returned
from residence of two or three years
in the States Of Alabama and Florida,
and corroborates the stories of terror
ism in the South. He says that if the
Republicans are allowed to vote they
will sweep everything, but fears that
calities, he says they vote undisturbed,
and in others it is almest certain death
for Il negro to go to the polls and vote
unless they vote the Democratic tick
ct. The ex-rebels, who, by the way,
comprise the Democratic party of the
South, openly boast that if Tilden is
elected they will get pay for all their
property destroyed, their negroes, and
all damages covered by the war. His
story is corroborated by his father,
who has been on visit to that part
of the country for several months.
The old gentleman is an old Jack.
son Democrat, but goes in heart and
soul for Hayes and Wheeler.

l'auperism in England.

From the London Daily Telegraph.
1t was, If we mistake not, the saga
cious DR.. Benjamin Franklin who COM
puted that if every able.bodied man
aud woman would work four hours
each day ut something useful, their Ia
bor would produce sufficient to pro-
cure for everybody the neccssaries Of
life. In this way want and misery
would be banished from the world
and 20 out of every "a hours of exist.
ence would be made available for rest
and pleasure. DR.. Franklin was not
an enthusiast; yet if he were alive
now and had an opportunity of study
ing recently.issued parliamentary re-
turn showing the number of paupers
in England during the years 1850. 1860,
1870 and 1874, he would have been
perhaps inclined to advocate his
scheme for abolishing destitution with
more than usual ardOr.
Considering the enormous wealth of
this country. it is somewhat depress.
ing to read that on the 1st Of January
last year there were 832,370 paupers
in receipt of parochial relief through
out England. When figures spread to
such dimensions they are not apt to
convey any vivid idea of the facts
which they express. If we compare
the number of paupers with the mum.
Der Of people in the country, we shall
however, arrive at a much clearer no.
tion of the enormous amount of power
! ty that eats like canker in the heart
of the richest community in the world
Viewed in this light. we find. for ex'
ample, that out of every thousand per
sons in England, 36.3 are paupers
More than 3 IL per centum of the po
pulation are thus dependent on theil
neighbors for subsistence which they
do not earn for themselves.
The return does not show what pro
portion the voluntary bears to invol
untary pauperism, or how many of th'
38.8 per thousand are unable and how
many are unwilling to. earn their ow,
livelihood.

Tilden clear his skirts at once by the
exact statement of his receipts and ex.
penditures! Clearly he daro not at
tempt it. If he were to go down in
Wall street and say that his income
was less than 100000 all the time he
was paying tax by default on $4,000,
he would be hooted out of the street.

The New York papers handle TIL
den's explanation of his income taxes
without gloves. The Utica Herald
says: :'We have not the least hesita
ton in declaring, after thorough ex-
animation of the explanation, that it
is miserably inadequate, and totally
fails to meet the serious charge which
confronts him. 1t does dot set single
point at rest in this damnable charge.
It confirms many of the worst features.

missing Yaryan is of piece with his past

moral obtuseness, but it jusiifies a suspicion
that he is drsirous of revenging himself up
on the T, publican party by saddling it with
the irtolerable burden Of his nisdeeds If
any such purpose has been entertained by
Mr.. Grant, he will do well to disabuse him

if on the plain evidence of his corrupt afili-

"Tuose Race Horse Men,.

Mrs. Croker, of Detroit, loves to read a
daily paper. She begins at the name and
reads to the last line on the fourth page, skip
liag nothing. She hasn't frst-elass coll
leze education, bu. it is seldom that anything
printed in the papers is TOO much for her.
She got stuck the other day, however, and
thi- is how il harp-nsd: There was report
of horse race, and she began 20 read it; she
got down 10 where 1t said John Jay names
z. z Dick, and she unused !:
He names g. G, does he? Now what in
the world is z. :? I've been to races several
times, and never saw &. z. around there
She puzzled over it until old Mr. Tbomp-
son came over TO borrow few clothespins,
and she asked him what it could mean.
John Jay names g. g. he mused- why
that's as plain as day. He names a gray
goat, of course, and the name of that gray
goat is Dick
What is a goat doing at horse race p
asked Mrs Crocker.
Il don't know he replied; but John
Jay had one there, sure's you're born
She took the paper and read tha. James
Thomas namel b. m. Troubadour,' and
she wanted to know what on earth that
meant.
That means-th4t means be replied
scratching his head, that means that James
Thompson has his hig mule there, al that
bis big mule was named Truubadour.'
L never heard of mule trotting at
horse race, she protested.
But it seems that this was big mule,
and so they let him in he explained.
The next thing she found was that Peter
Plack named his b. C. Nancy for the 2:4O
dash.
You know what that means, do you p
she asked as she handed the old man the
paper.
Yes. Do was the prompt reply. IF I
know my business. and I think DO, for I
have owned seven horses and eleven suIkys in
my time, that means that Peter Black named
his bIacl, calf for that dash.
oh. pshaw y
Very well. Mrs. Crocker. If you know
all about racing why did you ask me?'
Do you suppos I'm fool enough TO be-
lieve that black calf is named to tror in a
horse race! You are getting TO be fool Mr..

life than the time Of transition when
the asSiluous lover is passing into The

sIgIve than men, more sentimental too
and less cOntented to trust in silence

~, get tired OF making love When
they have wooed and won. they are
content TO br quiet. and take all the
rest for gr&nt-d. They are not cold
however, because they are secure
and to most, and those the best, prac-
tical kindness is better than flaIteTy,
security ranks before excitement and
hysteria, and life passed in serene
friendship, fearing no evil, knowing
no break and needing no perpetual
