Little Men.

1t is melancholy fact that small
men are not, at first sight, highly es-
teemed. The largo man can utter
platitudes with impunity while the
small one is voted a bore. Tho silence
OF one is considered the silence Of dig
nifty that OF the other want Of brain.
But il is more in female society that
the small man feels his deficiency of
stature. Early in life he has discOv-
cred that fiirtatiOns are not for him.
Women, as a rule, like big men, aud
Il is an admitted fact, that little men
are proverbially amorous. Life, to
him, is nothing without love. Yet he
knows but too we'll that the lady he
takes down to dinner would prefer TO
take the arm of giant than that of
pigmy. That he is a source Of amuse-
ment to the couple following him, he
knows too well and he is equally con-
sclous Of the fact that she breads the
probable comments which will be made
by her bosom friend when the hour Of
DRESSING gown and slippers 30 dear TO
the ladies' hearts arrives. Al the
ball, to which be has for weeks looked
forward, hoping for Just one dance
with the girl most desirable in bis eyes,
he is rofosod ev0n a quadrille, while a
hirsute>majOr carries her of before
his eyes, simply because he's nice aud
tall" All, the little man has trials !
Every little man, in seventeen coun-
ties, will say the above is true to his
certain knowledge aud belief"

Thought II was a Tunnel.

A young couple boarded the North
bound Kentucky express at Boston.
1t was at once observed by the passeu-
gers that they were some spoons. -
The young man, evidently, was ac-
duainted with the road, for as the train
approached the tunnel about ten miles
back of Covington he prepared for
business. just before the road reach
es the tunnel, however, it passes thro'
a short, dark bridge. AS the train
shot into the bridge the young man,
not to miss an inch more of the sup.
posed unnel-opportunity than hecould
help, threw his arms around the girls
waist, aud proceeded TO spread his
mouth all over hers. just as he got
properly adjusted, had secured mod
crate suction power about the girls
sweet mouth, and was tightening his
grip around her shoulders until the
bones fairly snapped, the train sud
denly whixzed into daylight as the
moment before it rolled into darkness.
The young man dropped the girl as if
she was poison. To aggravate matters
still more, after they had got into the
tunnel some one in the Immediate vi
cinity touched up a green light and
nipped anatheF embrace just about
half way up. People who cant re-
press their freshness ought to hire "A

National tlrleffOr WashIDgtOn's Death.

George Ticknor thus describes the
way in which the news Of Washington .
death was received. There never was
more striking or spontaneous tribute
paid TO man before in Boston than
when the news came OF Washington 3
death (1799). Ii was q little before
noon, and often heard persons say at
the time that one could know how far
the news had spread by the closing Of
the shops. Each man when he heard
that Washington was dead shut his
store, as a matter of course, without
consultation, and in two hours oil bus
mess was stopped. My father came
home and could not speak, he was so
overcome; my mother was alarmed 10
see him in such state, till he ree0V-
cred enough to tell the sad news. For
sometime every one, even children 4,
wore Grape on the arm nobody could

Bank, professedly established in the

Hon. B. B. Douglass, of this State, in
the last Congress, in relation to the
Freedman's Bank, if it could be read
by every colored man in the land,
would excite an indignation against
the party that permitted this whole

posted with view to the purchase of

SOLDIERS SENTIMENTS.


! There seems to be Comprised IN thu
army Of the United States an element
which was spoken of by the first Ma
poleou as dangerous in the extreme ID
despotic governments, 5etyoneis s0hicL
think. We hardly think that the
American army will be found an in-
strument well adapted to the establish. I.
ment of despotism.
Read the following from the Kansas
City Times
They won't shout for Hayes.
Company d. OF the Eleventh United
States infantry, arrived in this city on
Sunday and were obliged 10 las over
until Monday. They were from Fort
Worth or some other post in Texas,
and on their way to the Indian country
in Dacotah. A meddlesOme Radical
politician met the boys soon after they
had pitched their tents on a bill above
the uepot, and as they marched across
Union avenue to the Broad d-Gauge
saloon called out, "Hurrah, boys. for
Hayes !" Not a solitary cheer respond
ed. Que Of the seargeants stepped out
of the crowd and remarked: You
have made a mistake; we don't cheer
for Hayes, we are Tilden men. =
What, you do not mean 20 say y0l
oppose the men who give you food and
clothing?"
Yes, we do. Weare tired Of Grant
and his gang, and as tor our food aud
clothes, We will excuse him for that
1t he will let US loose.
"Oh nonsense, boys; you don't mean
to say you 80 back on Grant aud
Hayes?" EffA y. f-t
Yes, we go back on any man who
keeps two-thirds of our BOYS 10 blue
down in Dixie TO keep white men
down beneath the niggers, and who
sends handful Of us north to be killed
and scalped by Indians armed with
guns and bullets furnished by Grants
brother Orville and his deputy post

oh, you are a copperhesd Demo-
crat, said the now exasperated poll
tician.
"Yes, and I will bet you keg

pany are Tilden men"
Il will take that bet"
A vote was taken, and the vote In
company u, Eleventh United States

The vote was taken in the presence
Of George Gooch, Of the Broad Gauge,
who supplied the soldier boys with tbe
beer at the expense Of the discOmft .

The Expense of the Schools.

The School Advocate for August
contains the following, which is appli-
cable to any locality:
There are a number Of men in this
country who pay nothing but a poll
tax, and yet complain about the ex-
pense of public seh9ols, These par
tics are standing in their own light TOR
they have FIVE or sig children to edu-
cate, and only pay two dollars. 4he
tuition of FIVE children for tVe months
would amount to twenty-five dollars,
We often hear of men oppasing free
schools hepause they are too expensive.
Ifa man could educate Ave children
Tor two dollars, he is certainly foolish
to oppose measure that would bring
him such advantages and blessings.

A New Method OF Startling Race
Horses.

A Saratoga dispatch says; "The
dissatisfaction occasioned by the bad
starts given in some important events
has induced the Racing Association TO
adopt new method of starting horses
which bids fair to be successful
Hereafter there will be virtually two
starters, and the horses are 10 be taken
about thirty yards back Of the actual
starting line, and will be invested with
power to punish jockeys for disobey-
ing his orders by suspending them or
imposing fines. After the horses are
in position he will give them the word
to go, aud if they are fairly even when
they pass the second starter he drops
his flag. This will prevent a horse
from gaining the advantage Of a run
ming start.

Intimidation.

Redfeld, the correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial, says: The
steps of the Government, looking to
the protection of voters by the usO
of the army, makes something Of "a
savage feeling here; but the people
find consolation in the reflection that
it will loose the Republican party
thousands Of votes in the North, as Il
doubtless will. My notion is that il
will lose FIVE votes in the North where
it makes one in the South. IL will,
in fact, make not the least difference
with the whites of the South, as they
will vote the Democratic ticket any
way, troops or no troops"
