PLANTS PIERCING ASPHALT.
Tho following curious example OF the lifting
aud forcing power e1ertcd by plants in their
growth, Is taken from the London Garden !:
"About four or Ave years ago, tho platforms at
our station here (Atltcham Junction} were laid
down With thick coating Of asphalt Nsyer-
tteless, such Is the force Of growth and endur-
ance existing In tho roots of tho Coltsfoot
(Tu..uago Jarfara) that every year It 1orccs
its way through tue aaphalt, lespito
tho hardness Of that material. The a.
p p eracEp HEp ,aFv o .aon !G tna yan
leaves make their appearance, and afterwards
tlls whole plant. Tho common Thistle have
also noticed doing tho same. Let my one tako
a cake Of asphalt and Try to push stick through
it: lie will then be able to realize how great
must bo the vital force exertcl by the plant-
roots In question, which, BY adding particle
upheaye and disp!ace suuh d hard, compact

Joe. Maloney was the first man
brought up standing by the "Home
Guard" and We sincerely trust
the lesson will not be lost on Joe
and other c0l0red as we'll az white
Radical bulldoozcrs.
Joe, it seems, isa dyed.in.the.
wool Radical, to which we have
no objection, but Joe has q desire
to whip other negroes when they
turn Democrat, to which we most
seriously object.
Joe was given to understand
that this call of the ssHome Guard
would be the last one made IN
peace, on him. He can do as he
pleases, politically or otherwise,
50 far Is it does not interfere with
other peoples rights. Colored
men can he Democrats, and Joe
Maloney cannot modest them fol
it, as no one molestb him for be
ing q Republican-should he thinl
otherwise, he will lie taught les
son lasting In experience to him
and an example to all other Radi
cal intimidatOrs.

Does any sane man suppose the

Radicals Rob the Negro

The most striking evidence present
ed to the colored man, Of promises
made by radicals to him never to oe
fulfilled, is in the investigation Of the
Freedmap's Bank, wherein it is shown
that the poor pegro was delnded into
dcpositing Ills hard earned pittance'
which was no doubt intended to sup
port him and family in'leclining years,
in Bank specially incorporated by q
radical administration; Offered by
Howard and other radical philanthropy
lists, to rob and plumber the negro Of
these deposits.
That the object Of this bank was
pure robbery there can he no doubt
for from the very first hour of it's ex-
Rssqlatle4g b6sas fn q 1 hsa %f'
four MILLIONS had been filched by
these lords Of misrule, prominent
among whom was Grant, the might,
k;nq. Had not a Democratic House
come into power, no one would have
ever known the villainy Of this tran
saction aud it becomes the coloret
man to study we'll the great difference
between radical promises and radica
execution.
In all their howl of "Confederat
Brigadiers,' they cannot drown tn
CRY of thousands Of colored men, VII
