rHEEx.REBEL PROGRAMME

Said one, "Give Us possession OF the
government, and the North will be the
rebels next timer Thiswas the talk and
tie ak in earnest-as was the talk OF the
.Ius men in 1861. They mean il. They
talk it over coolly and seriously. Said
thsy had already united South which
vOuld be nearly enough, and that their
Democratic allies in the North dare not
deny them the little more, the few more
votes, that they would need. This is
their idea to-day-to gain by legislation,
BY means Of diplomacy and triekery,
shA, they failed to gain by means Of
!otce. believe it; know it. All their
eIPres'iOns suggest it, and all their ac-
lions Pruvsit. What else do they mean?
Why's it that the State Of Missouri has
Issued to every former owner OF slaves in
that State certificate for $1,000 for ev-
ef! slave, payable when the General
Government will pay it? This very thing
The total amount Of the value OF their
saIneiplted slaves Il now estim ated as a
PAT Of the State debt Of Missouri. i
Used to think this was a Republican
ilehood-the certificate matter. BUTT
san actual fact and these certificates,
AID Al certificates or showings Of losses
.a'Iained throughout the State, are be-
Iag saved up as carefully n money

GEORGE ELIor's READnsss-I was talk
ing net long ago with lady OF q liter
ary turn about Daniel DeroDda, and got
myself into her good graces BY ssying
that George Eliot's vast popularity was
q mysteryEto me. She agreed with me
that fashion had great deahto do with
it, and said, have drawn up CLASH.
ffcation Of the novellst's admirers, which
seems to explain her wide influence" L
transcribe this table for you.
First Class.-People who exalt George
Eliot SIMPLY because she's woman VINO
writes thoughtful books.
Second Class-Men who wish to in-
gratiate themselves with women belong
ing to the first class. .0l
Third Glass People are disappointed
| in life, or unwell, and accordingly like
her gloomy views. Also happy people
who find her bitterness tonic, and young
women who 60 TO parties too often and
want sadness in their novels, to suit the
reaction that comes of sitting up late
Fourth Class.-This contains two va
rieties: first, those who never read phi
losophy and like TO get a smatterlng OF
clumsy philosophic words in novel
and second, those who never read
novels, but are sttracted by George
Eliots because they look like philosc'
ply.
Fifth Clsss.-The shippers.
Sixth Class.-The intellectual arlsto'
c,ats. who say that no other novelist In
PRODUCES persons who know everything
and are like the most cultured men and
women of the day.
Seventh Class.-Myself i do truly
admire George Eliot's strength, though
don't like her books. There are some
things so large that they don't leave
much room for likes or dislikes. They
shove prejudlces aside just as a great
steamer displaces more tons OF water
than small one can.)-From tie Con-

From ParkerSDurg Senllhel.
1t seems that Hon. johnson n. Cam
den Is receiving euconiums and praise
from all quarters, Republican as well us
Democratic. Last week we copied from
the Writ county Mentor an article urg-
ing him for the Scnatorship, this re-
crivrd the appreciation of the Richie
gazette, and the following is portion OF
All editorial in the Neio State Gazette oil
November 30th, urging MIR. Camden as
a candidate:
Among the list of names of those who
labored increasingly for the principles
and success of the Democracy, there are
none that hold q more prominent posi-
tIun IN the ewes Of all true Democrats
than that of johnson y. Camden. 1t Is
not necessary for Us TO recite his many
cstimable qualities Of bead and heart, or
his qualifications for public position, for
the people know them, and knowing,
now wish that he should be rewarded IN
a manner becoming his fidelity to the
principles he espouses.
In the contest that will be, for the po-
sltions of L. ). Senators there are other
names of eminent men mentioned-men
who would reflect credit rs Senators,
upon any State; but there are nonei IN
our humble Judgment, who the people
would rather see one of the two Senators
To- he chosen, than, Hon. }. n. Camden,
and we trust that the representatives oil
our people will this winter so consider.

The first time that Gen. Custer set his
handsome eyes upon his future wife was
when he was fifteen years old, and going
o. school in Monroe, Michigan. Going
along the street one day, the rough, ilax-
en-hraded, lrecl,le-faced boy passed n
little black-eyed, eight year old girl
swlnging on gate. She WAS pretty
a. lie creature, her fathers pet, an only
aid, and naturally spoiled. She said
n.chly, her little face dimpling with
niles, Hello! you Custer boy" Then,
frightened at her own termrrity, turned
end lied into the house. 1t WAS love at
first sight with the wild young savage of
fifteen. and he then and there vowed that
so ne day that small girl should be his
wife. And 50 she was but only after many
Ipvers woes; for Judge Bacon, Lizzics
fthe-, WAS for long time obdurant to-
ward the young man who he feared was
tickle and unstable, and hts daughter and
her sutton submitted most patiently to his
will until at last he relented.
