MUST VOTE AS We TELL YOU.

When you niggers come to the polls to vot
We want you to understand,
You must vote for Tlden and Hendricks,
The two best men in the land.
Now you needn't think we're fOoling,
For we mean just what we say,
You ElggerS must vote as we tell you,
Or we'll put you out of the way.
You understand our meaning.
When we talk in that kind Of strain,
That such sport as we had at Hamburg
Well be apt to have over again.
You niggers are too independent,
And you white Republicans, too,
You never consult our wishes,
But vote as it best suits you.
Now this thing can go no further;
You had better do our will,
For you've learned to know by this time,
When We shoot, We shoot to kill.
We've had little practice,
We know how to draw dead"
There isn't a Sioux on the prairies
Can beat US throwing lead.
We intend to support our ticket,
In the fight that's now begun,
By shooting Republican voters,
And we rather like the fun.
So if you want to escape our bullets,
We would have you understand
You must vote for Tilden and Hendricks,
The two best men in the land.

Old Mr.. Parker,s shave.

Old Mr.. Parker's beard troubled him. It
was week old and his chin looked like a
stubble-feld. He was walking slowly along
Cortland street, when his ear caught the
word Next" 1t came from the basement
and smooth faced, but rather detected
looking gentleman stepped out upon the
street. DE was evidently much fatigaed,
and IN depressed state of mind. His over
coat pockets bulged, and the necks Of tonic
bottles protruded, but he was shaved, and
a fly would have slipped on bis Shining
black hair. Mr.. Parker rubbed his chin
and meditated moment, then he descend
ed the basement steps.
'How do you do, General? Glad to see
you. Take this chair, if you please. Shave
yes, see, hair cut, shampoo, bath af-
terwards; James black the General shoes.
Thus said the bald-headed presiding genius
to old Mr.. Parker.
''Let those shoes alone, James, said old
Mr. Parker, as he climbed into the chair.
Now 76Ui9rie!i, said the bald barber
with shade less effusiOn, ''HoW VIII you

"Well, Major" quoth the tonsoriaI ar

"And I'll not have it shampooed any

Bath! shouted old Mr.. Parker; "bath !!

''Lieutenant," said the shaver with freez-

he was touched on a tender point, Rum!

An electiOn-day incident is thus describ-
ed by an Indianapolis paper: A well-dress-
ed colOred man entered drugstore yeSter-
day morning, and approaching the propri-
etor, remarked in very apologize tone:

''What do you want of court -plaster!"
inquired the druggist
The cOlOred man lifted his hat with q
smile, exposing two terrible scalp wounds,
one extending from the crown Of his head
to the middle Of his forehead. and the 9TH
er reaching from ear to ear. The pill-mak-
er started back aghast at the wounds, and
the darkey, noticing his gesture, remarked
quite blSndly: ''0h, You needn't start
you jess ought to see the other fellOw!'
"What have you been doing? said the
astonlShed druggist.

1t must have occurred to every man who

blinded by mis- prejudice, that the Republican
politicians and organs are In a bad way. They
have resOrted to all manner OF desperate and
