The Funny Darkies.

The indigenous humorist of the At
lanta (Ga) Constitution is certainly the
most fluent of all dialect writer's. He has
an ease of style about him that few men
possess. nothing i'll his humor being
forced or labored. He not only has all
the negro mutilations of grammar but
he catches the inspiration of their
mother wit as we'll. Witness this ac-
count of
AMOS BOOK KEEPER.
We asked Amos how his boy was get
ting on at school.
''Pleg take dat boy. done tuck him
way from that school!'
"Why, what for?"
"Uh, oh! he wuz gittin' mos too
smart down dar :wid dat book larnin.'
'Twon't do fer some niggeis ter be too
edgikatid.
why not. Amos?"
"Well, sab, jess take dat boy. frin-
stance. put dat boy ter keep books
fer me bout de- sellin' ob de garden
truck dis summer. Well, sah. he jess
rit down charges dar in de book fer all
de truck dat l tuck out de gi.dln', ard
charges FER all dat we eat Ill de house
an den credit hisself viii De .htIe mounts
dat let him hab long at odd 'casions,
an den he go an add dem ell up, an
struck er balance, he say!'
'And how did you come out?"
"Come out? Fore de Good Marstel,
I didn't come out at all! Dat boy done
luck me for bout thutty-tibe dollers,
sides his wages as de book-keepah-
now dat's what de figgers said"
"Well, what did You do?"
II jess burn up dat book right dar.
an den scharged de book. .keepah an
hire him ober agin ter saw wood fer his
borde an clos
"You did?"
"Yes, sab. 1 did dat! Why, Boss, eff
dat boy he'd KEEP dat book on me tell
now he'd done own dat hous' an gyar-
din patch an bin chargin' me an his
ole NANNY fer bed an bred! tell yer
dis hyar book-larnin' is runin' dis young
breed ob niegers, it's shore!'
If that isn't "good enough to eat. -
we don't want cent. But just listen
to this capital satire upon the farcical
manner in which Southern elections are
conducted:
LOCAL RETURNING BOARD.
They were PLAYING poker and Pomp
held full hand. His eyes glistened
with conscious triumph as he put up a
ten-cent ante and gazed at his partner
/ eXpectantly.
Il raises dat ten CENTS" remarked
Pete.
Il goes a quarter more," insinuated
Pomp.
II stand you and raises another quar-
ter. replies Pete.
Il continue on de war-path, and
hops down de last thirty cents, answer
ed Pomp, placing six nickles on the ta-
| BILE.
Il kivers de pile and calls you," re-
marked Pe,e
Full hand" said Pomp, turning his
cards. "What you got?"
"a pair, and de game am undeci-
ded."
whats dat? Undecided? Dis yer
chile takes de pile
Not by long chalk. Dis case will
now be referred to de returrin' board,
who will examine into de particulars. -
Oars plenty more good cards in de
pack, and why didn't l get 'em. Dar's
been intimidation and fraud, and mean
while de returnin' board takes possess
ion of de spoils," and Peter reached
out his hand.
Then the other side deemed the right
of the returning board to decide. and
when the reporter left the horrible de-
mon of civil war was dancing a wild
dance in the neighborhood, and po-
liceman was marching up to mediate
with club.

In Louisiana the farce of carpet
bag rule has about come to an end.
The Nichols legislature is daily re-
ceiving accessions by desertion from
the sham legislature of the sham
Goyernor---Packard. Thus relieved,
this PROSTATE State will rise in com
mercial prosperity which will have
a beneficial effect on all commercial
circles throughout the Union. Gov
ernments, like individuals, are al
fected more or less by diseased mem.

Louisiana regains its lost position IN
the realm of commerce. another
tributary to our national wealth Will

ESawzN,sSS 1iAhNWsvA HAIR
!.-ssssss sszzI-zzszR ENEWER.
Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruR and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
