The ALABAMA PLAN.-If any one
doubts that the South is reconstructed, ;"
and that the spirit Of secession is giving
place to one of fraternal feeing-if a
glimmer of suspicion turks ir any bewild-
cred mind rs to the sincerity of the ex-
Confederate leaders who protest in Com
gress that they accept the policy of re-
construction-th following extract from
q speech made few weeks ago by Zebu-
lon ID. Vance, the gubernatoria candi-
date Of the North Carolina Democracy,
ought to settle the matter:
am sorry that / laid down my arms in
1850, am in favor of re-enslaving the negro
and il that cannot be done at once. my idea IS
TO bring about such a condition of things.
And here is Governor Vance's idea of
the practical methods to be adopted for
the purpose of bringing about "such a
condition Of things !" it is certainly a
shrewd and sagacious plan, and one
which, if consistently followed out, could
not fail to prove effectual:
| would deprive the negro of educational
privileges | would pay him low wages
would prevent him from acquiring real es-
tate | would deprive him of arms, ammuni-
tlon. stock, and agricultural implements.
Now that must be conceded to be a
comprehensive and mastery plan of the
campaign. In Texas they have com
menced acting upon it to the extent of
taking measures to prevent the coored
child en- from participating in the bene-
fits of public school system. In South
Carolina they are depriving the negroes
of their arms. In Alabama they are
carrying out Governor Vance's pro-
gramme for re-enslaving the coored
people in the following ingenious way !;
The Legislature has passed law provid-
ing that when person convicted of any
offence is punished by fine which he
cannot pay, "his services may be sold to
the highest bidder" for such a term as
may be necessary to work out said fine.
Though the language Of the law provides
for Il sale of the services" of the accused,
il is, in fact, the man himself who is sold.
Under this law negroes are arrested and
convicted on trivial charges and sentenc-
ed to pay large fines. Then, in default
of payment, they are sold to 'work out"
the amount at from four to eight dollars
per month, and in the mean time are
Aogged and otherwise treated as slaves,
under color of law. The rates bid by the
purchasers are so low that it takes year
ar Il year and half to work out fine of
800. That is the way they manage mat
ters in Alabama, and it is one of the in
genious methods by which "a solid
South" is being secured for Tiden and
ilendricks.-San Nrdacisc0 Chronicle.

District Attorney of Solano county, and
in all the public positions he has held, he

find in him their champion, and the aged
will not fear to trust him as their Repre-.

impending danger he will not hesitate to
act for the good Of the country and for
the best interests Of his constituents. We

significant words "Please have the

A NUMBER Of Cinnamon were engaged
at building one of their peculiar dams
for mining purposes, across the Moke-
lumne river just below the wire bridge, a
short time ago. The water was about
four feet deep, although short distance
below there was hole twelve feet deep.
One of the Cinnamon accidentally got in
to this hole and drowned, and compan-
ion who went to his rescue also shared
the same fate. The superstitious Chinese
thereupon abandoned the claim, although
it was rich one, tore up the stakes and
lumber, and have gone to seek a more
auspicious locality.

lowing: "The second month Of the
campaign is nearly gone, and not the
shadow of a blot has been discovered in

has been thrown, but not particle of it
has stuck, and the mud-machines have
been permanently retired. This makes
dull campaign, but it makes decent

A GENTLEMAN of leisure, who has re-

order to find any allusion to the war for

"Kindred populations once unnaturally

construed, without violence, as direct
allusion to the great Rebellion.

History o. the -yVhIte-House.

The White-House at Washington, D. c.,
was commenced in October, 1792. The
Commissioners Of Washington, a. sort of
Board of Public Works in those days, offer
ed premium for competitive plans, and
the award was given to James HOban. The
building is modelled after the palace of the
Duke of Leinster. 1t is 10 feet front by
Sc feet deep. 1t has the appearance of be-
ing built ofWhite marble, but the material
is freestone, painted white, with Ionic por=
tico,, eomprehending two stories, crowned
with balustrade. The interior is planned
more for display than for health. It is Gu
Fious to- remember in this centennial year
that in 1914 the Britishers invaded the
WhitssHouse, and very seriously injured
the magnificent state dining-room by their
crude and barbarous practices. The inya-
ders hands, which had had recourse to. the
torch, did not hesitate to deface the col
umns and panelings of the Presidential
mansion with spur and bayonet. The build
ing was repaired under the supervision of
the original architect, James Roban.

A ''Reader" sends the Canada Farpler
his process Of curing balky horse. He
says: "The animal had grown old in his
yiciousness, and was one Of those case-hard-
ened stagers that turn their heads round
and look you steadily in the eve while the
fit is on. / had tried whipping, petting,
the ear wash, gravel in the mouth, backing
poking, in short, everything without effect,
until at length, on one occasion, becoming
thoroughly enraged (for the horse had come
to q dead stop in the middle of river we
were crossingl, ! sprang out, hitcheda log
ging chain around his neck, and proceeded
TO draw him out by means OF another
horse. For upward often minutes he stood
his ground and il really seemed as if the
head alone was to come without the body,
but finally the body followed like lamb.
From that day to this no further attempt
at baking has been made. Once, indeed,
about week after the occurrence just
mentioned, he acted like one desirous Of re-
newing an old habit, but mere rattle Of
the chain cured him."

Letter to st. Louis Republican.
A wOmanss Opinion OfSurf Bathing.

Let me describe the sensation; and, as /
am a woman, own just the truth as to this
fashionable diversion. First, there is the
undressing in the fbath-ho1se-a closet
hardly big enough to turn about in; for no
lady prepares for bathing at the hotel before
going down to the beach, You feel sure
somebody sees you through the cracks in
the imperfect planks, and you get red and
nervous with fear and shame. Then the RI
diculous dress. Whyit is Bloomer COS
tune, short pants and blouse, making a
guy of the prettiest woman, and fright of
nearly all. The bit of mirror only shows
how absurdly your head looks in the coarse
sundown hat, and you know you are sure
you cannot face the curious and idle spec
tators on the shore in. such a rig. Then
a tap on the door, and care you readyY'
gives nomore time for cogitation. You open
the door and step out on the platform to
join your companions, self-convinced that
if ever in your life you have acted and look
ed like an idiot now is the time. You
cross the sands and make an advance into
the first breaker. Oh! what chill creeps
through your whole body; how deathly
cold-and you see another breaker coming.
You catch the rope and await the conse-
quenees, while your companion says ''Cour-
age" in that slow, rasping voice which.
means that something dreadful is coming.
And it has come. The wave has gone over
you in one binding, smothering mass.
Your eyes, your ears, your nostrils are full
of it, and rain of spray comes down
from your broad-brimmed hat to blind you
as you feel the sands washing out from un
| der your feet with the retiring wave. When
you can see, you know that another breaker
/ is coming to overRhelm you. It looks like
a white-capped demon that has gathered, all
! its force to drown you and dash you up on
! those yellow sands that look so invitingly
| dry at this present moment. Snow for it, :"
1 shouts somebody, as the monster goes over
you, and in twinkling your feet are where
| your head should be. You grasp at the
rope and wonder if the undertow will take
on your feet again. Assistance comes Just
in time to be whipped and tossed again,
and this is repeated over again for few
moments; then you walk out as best you
can, clinging to the rope all the time, in
the most depressed and crest fallen eondi-
ton. Even the Joy of being on the dry
sands does not compensate for your forlorn
! appearance; and you know that Smith and
Brown are laughing, as you pass them, at
your dripping garments. If it was an. or
deal to go down to the water in this wretch
ed dress, what is it to face crowd of grin
ming idiots as you return? The only COM
fort possible under such trying circum-
stances is to remember that you can laugh
in return when they bathe, and that you
will not be recognized by your best friends
| in YOUR present costume
