The Communist Citizen.
AND HOW HIS BRETHREN APrLIED TIE DOCTRINE
"PEoPENfY Is IHEFT."

AND how HIS BRETHREN APPLIED The DocIpISl
"PEoPENfY Is IhEFr."
1t was a worthy citizen
And Chief of the Commune:
Was sitting. lone, respondent,
In busted beer saloon,
Singing to himself a dismal song
To melancholy tune.
1.-Two thousand dollars had hero
A single hour ago;
A goodly pile said ], with q SMILE
For aCommupist to show,
Who brands all Property as crime
And is Capitals deadly foe
Twas late and alone when in
Came stout Communists three,
Ho, citizen, down with the kinss
And priests and s. ciety'
Hurrah for Liberty, Fratern-
lty and Equality
'fDraw and set up for us the beer
In white and amber flood
Drink deep-Ah that thus might quaff
Some crowned usurper's b,ood
And grind his corpse with my red right heel
In the burning city's mud.
Z" All men are brothers, all property Is theft
What's mine belongs to thee.
And what thou hast thou must divide
With US tiny brothers three;
Hurrah for Liberty, Fratern-
lty and Equality
&" Amen cried in rapture that
Is the creed OF creeds for me-
Fill high the mug with Saman beer,
Cred those Communists three
And they drank nine rounds TO the refOrma-
TIon OF Society.
Then they turned to go. said, Citizens,
Lend me your red right car.
That part Of your duty you've forgot
To me is very clear,
Before you 20 what wsnt to know
ls-who pays me for that beesP
Then one stout Communist locked the door
and one put cut the lsht,
And the third and stoutest clutched ny throat
In his brawpy fagers tight;
Traitor he hissed as he smote my nose,
lf the Communist creed be right
q" IL Property theft, how darest thou ask
Our cash for thy hOAted beer
Ho, my comrades twU let US go through
This squirming rent gade here
Who is false 10 the faith each Communist
Should above all else hold dear
They stole my money. they robbed my till.
They stove my beer kegs in,
They smashed the glasses, they broke the chairs.
They pummeled me like sin.
Came CliceTs none for they thought that one
of our meetings was raging within.
AT last | sv ooned and they left me. Not
One cent did they tail to take.

In q berry, bloody lake.
4 quivering island OF agony,
Acontinent Of ache.
Which is how came by these blackened eyes
And by this bloody nose;

That may not disclose;
Further than this-they are not in front

Do FisH SLEEP? A Woodstock (Nt)
man thinks he can answer the much mOOted
question "Do fish sleep? - for one day,
when fishing with II companion, he saw at
the bottom ui Il still, sunny pool a school OF
trout motionlesS. They took no notice of
the bait, though it was carefully dropped
close to their noses i0r over an hour, when,
singling out big one, the hook was droop-

caught it, and was caught. Several others
of the willy fish were treated in similar

7ELEGRAPAlC SUMMARY.

Washington, D. G. April 3.-Ata
Cabinet meeting to-day the Secretary
Of War was directed to prepare an
order transferring the troops from the
State House in Columbia, South Car
DINA, to their camps. In reference
IN tho withdrawal of the troops from
South Carolina, it can be autllorlta'
lively stated that President Hayes is
decidedly opposed to having garr''
sons of Federal troops in the State
Houses Of State. He holds that the.
troops may be stationed in the vicinity
of any place where a difficulty is like
" to occur, and in case Of violence or
not, they may be called upon to pre-
serve tho peace. The former he re-
CARDS as purely political, and without
warrant of Constitutional provision
while the latter is legal government
tai -..t, a.a- oan- 10 60 appropriately
exercised in South Carolina as 10 any
other State where garrisons are now
stationed.
