"a writer has observed with much truth,
that every man is in sense three different
men. In the first place he is the man he

The Democrats hereabouts do not q ute
swear by McClure's Times, but his paper is
only one Peg away from that degree Of ex-
cellencc in their minds, and still the Colo

If war taxes place between Turkey and
Russia it will be the greatest war since the
days of Napoleon the First, and will make
this country of ours busy place, to supply
the combstants with such goods and pro-
duce as may be needed by them. So peo-

war is to be our redeemer, that is in tinan-

There is considerable dissatisfaction
against the Southern policy of President
Hayes, among Republicans. The general
however, is to wait and see how
the plan of the President succeeds. If tie
Southern people act in good faith, the

eighteen ycars past. If the Southern peo-
pie do not meet their pledges, stand from
under.

DISPATCHES from Louisiana state
that in every cabin little bottle of
coal oil is kept for incendiary pur-
poses, to burn out the white people.
It would be dreadful thing if true,
but the probability is that there is no
truth in the dispatches The pepole
who have been burned out down
there heretofore have been the ne
groes. They have been burned out
with as little feelings of remorse as
country boys burn and gouge ground
