DEMOCRATIC NATIONALS.

Why should Democrats support the
Grccnback organization recently chris.
tened Nationals ? Success to them is
impossible. Nothing, therefore, is to
be gained. No good or desired end
can be accomplished by Democrats
voting with that organization. Every
Democratic vote given to the National
party is the gain OF q half a vote to the
Republicans--onc vote distracted from
the Democratic column and thrown
away.
1t should always be held in mind
that whatever of distress exists in this
country, because Of erroneous financial
or other legislation, is chargeable solely
to tho Republican party. They have
enacted all the laws since 1861. They
defeated the reforms proposed and sup.
ported by the Democracy during the
last two Congresses that we're defeated.
To sustain the Republicans in power,
therefore, is to sustain the very meas
urcs to which is charged all the exist
ing financial distress and hard times.
The way to obtain the repeal Of the
obnoxious legislation, therefore, clearly
is to vote the Democratic ticket and
defeat the Republicans-not to throw
away tho votes upon a third party, to
whom success is possible.
The Grcenback or National party
may be, and no doubt is, a convenient
resting place for Disguised Republicans
who are not quite ready TO come direct.
ly into the Democratic ranks but II
will be miserable sort of purgatory
for Democrats.

A REVERSED CONSCIENCE. Eliza
Pinkston is the most recent case of
"quickened conscience She carried
about with her the horrid conscious.
ness of tho fraud in which she bore so
prominent a part, aggravated by the
fact that the Visiting Statesmen who
had put up the job only paid her $50
of the promised $500. Against this
burden of guilt and the remorsc Incl.
dent thereto Eliza struggled in vain,
and at last made the affidavit giving
the full particulars. 1t was thoroughly
characteristic Of the political condition
OF Louisiana which Mrs. jerks so
graphically described, that Eliza should
have been dcfrauded of the reward
promised for her highly dramatic per-
%juries. The complaint that the Visit.
ing Statesmen went back on their
guarantees is by no Means confined to
Eliza. Her name must be added to
the list of the unrequited, on which
James Il. Anderson, McLin, William r..
Chandler, and other prominent person
ages are written. We, therefore, await
with anxious expectancy, yet without
lmpatiencc, for Mrs. jerks to have an
attack of quickcned conscience, in
which she will untell much that she
has told and tell those things that she
refuses to tell. The time must come
when the burden of her reticence will
become insupportable. 1t was only a
little while age that Eliza Pinkston
seemed proof against suffering rcmorso
and conjunction or account of her
theatrical and studied p~erjuries. Yet,
here she is making an affidavit, telling
all about 1t. Eliza can now take her
place alongside Of Mrs. Tilton.

Useless Advice to Young Men.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

The true girl has to be sought for.
She does not parade berself as show
goods. She is not fashionable. Gener-
ally, she is not rich. But oh, what a
heart she has when you find her, so
large and pure and womanly. When you
see it you wonder if those snowy things
outside were women. If you gain her
love, your two thousand are millions.
She'll not ask you for a carriage or
frst-class house. She'll wear simple
dresses, and turn them, when necessary,
with no vulgar magniticat to frown upon
her economy. She'll keep everything
neat and nice in your sky parlor, and
give you such welcome when you come
home that you'll think your parlor high
er than ever. She'll entertain true
friends on dollar, and astonish you
with the new thought how little happi-
ness depends on money. She'll make
you love home Gf you don't you're a
brute, and teach you how to pity, while
you scorn poor, fashionable society
that thinks itself rich, and vainly tries
to think itself happy.
Now, do not, | pray you, say any
more, Il can't afford to marry. Go,
find the true woman, and you can.
Throw away that cigar, burn up that
switch cane, be sensible yourself, and
ask her to be your wife in a sensible way.

The last words were exultant, but fol-

end was near But at this moment the
morning sun burst from the clouds and
sent one long, bright ray down through
the bare and leafess trees, to rest upon
the child's soft brown hair, turning it to
molten gold. The little eyes re-opened,
with a new, glad light in them, and the
small hand was outstretched toward the
beautiful messenger.
See! see! father" he cried, half ris-
ing. See! there's mamma, waving her

Dancing.
DdHSiHSs
New York Commercial.

A brochure on the sinfulness of dane
ing that was remarkable for the free
dom with which the authors views
were expressed, was recently published
in this country, but the work has been
left severely alone by the press, for the
reason, apparently, that the writer was
not in his right mind. His criticism
however, was simply an exaggeration of
the views put forth by more reputable
and better known people The last per-
son to come forth and denounce dancing
is the Rev. Matthew Hale Smith, who
declares it is not only sinful, but foolish.
The grand argument against dancing is
that it is destructive to the morals OF
young women. No doubt young women
have been ruined by dancing, but so
they have by being allowed to walk the
streets, by going to church, by looking
out of window. The young lady of old
who was imprisoned in a brazen tower
could not be kept out of difficulty. 1t
is questionable, however, whether as
many lives have been wrecked by the
dance as its opponents imagine. Dane
ing in public places is to be condemned.
but there is little danger that the road
to destruction will be made broad and
smooth in any gentleman drawingroom.
The world has danced since the begin
ming, and it may be taken for granted
that it will until the end of the chapter.
Like most other things that human be-
ings are addicted to- it can be carried to
excess; but since some one Will abuse
it, is every one who innocently indulges
in it to be branded as liable to fall?

New Way to Cook Invented.
Correspondence to the Baltimore Sun.

Correspondence to the Baltimore Sun.
Just now, in Paris, you will see the
art of great cooking in perfection with
the least amount of fuel In England
and America there is an absolute and
unnecessary waste of fuel as well as Vi
ands by the employment of huge fires.
England is more wasteful by reason of
being more prejudiced than America in
this matter. In one day in England a
cook will consume more fuel and pro-
dnce less good dinners than a French
cook will in month of superb cooking!
Count Rumford laid down practical
rules by which a dinner for one thou
sand persons could be excellently well
cooked and served at cost of ten
cents! Now this process is improved
upon, and dinner for fifteen hundred
persons can be well cooked at a fuel ex-
pense of five cents! Not by gas-that
is wasteful expense-but by the car
donated refuse of the gas house, known
as coke. This coke is placed in a pc
culiarly constructed stove, which per-
mits none of the fumes to pass into any
other place than the closed chimney
The coke is generated into brilliant
fire at first by a powerful draft, then
toned down, as per the wants of the
cook, by a mechanical damper. At this
point all the odor of the gas has gone,
and nothing but clear fire, minus
smell or dust is ready. This fire in the
broad top stove does duty for several
dishes at the same time. You get your
dinner hot and well cooked at cost of
fuel less than ever before known. The
owner of the patent is about to proceed
to America to protect his invention, or
| might explain it.

"ONLY A NIGGER PREACHER"
Yet He Didn't Go Back on His Duty.

IThe Rev. Ben. Black, a colored Methods
minister, at Holly Springs, proved himself I
hero during the prevalence of the scOurge
He visited white and black and administered
comfort whereverhe went, and ut one time wa
the only minister present in the village to con
sole the sick and assist at the burial OF th'
dead.1
Ben Black? Well, l reckon know him
That Holly Springs preacher, you mean?
Yes, he's black as Old natur' could grow him
'MOngst all the black niggers you've seen.
He wuZ born on the old plantashun
An registered thar as slave,
But the Lord in His wise all-creashun
Put in him heart that is brave.
He wuz out thar fightin' all evil,
An tryin' ter save his own race
From out of the jaws of the devil.
BY the power O gospel an grace:
He wuZ thar when the yeller infiicShun
Come stalkin' long over the lam,
An the hour of awful affiicshun
ShOw'd up the true grit of 'cr man!
Thar wuz then er stampede of the people,
EZ well of the po'r an the rich;
The preacher lost sight of his steeple
An ''his duty" an ''cross," an all SIGH!
They fled from ther kith an kin, sir,
Their faith wern't ez strong ez that thread,
An only few stayed to win, sir,
Thet battle 'mongst dyin' and dead!
Old Ben never fiickered a second,
Ner faltered when weary an faint,
But wharever the stricken 'un beckoned
He bent to his work like er saint!
Right that Mt the head O. the whitest
He took up er merciful stand,
Or tired with er step that wuZ lightest
When deth wuz the closest at hand.
He talk'd Of the Lord and His power
Ter say an make holy the heart
He told the weak soul not to cover
In the face of deaths pestilent part.
He spoke the sweet message of heaven
Ter them that never he'd heered it,
An put firm faith in them even
Thet knowed of the futur' an feered it.
tell yer that old black preacher
WuZ worth thar his weight in pure gold,
For he follered the path of his Teacher
Like them 'postlemen did of old!
I've seed many parsons in churches
A shOutin of duty an death,
But they left all their folks in the lurches
When of danger thar come er first breath.
I've heered menny high-toned sparkies
Go shOutin around about niggers,
An swearin' the souls of the darkies
Wern't worth emmy morn er chiggerS:
But eff there's er man in this party
With er heart in him big as flea
Thet won't cheer for Old Ben right hearty,
Why, then-hes got ter lick me.
Fer say that the Lord he'd er reason
For paintin' thet old nigger's hide.
An he meant him to turn up in season
With all the world square on his side;
An when all in the judgment come even,
IF pass you can bet on this thing
Thar'll be one nigger angel in heaven
I'll jine with ter praise an ter sing!

AYork State Farmer Who Loves to Fish

In Chilli there is an elderly farmer
who is passionately fond of sport-es-
pecially fishing and hunting-and he
has a son who is a chip of the old block
in that as well as in other respects.
One day last summer the old gentle
man left home, but before going set his
boy at a job he was anxious to have
done. Returning sooner than he was
expected, he found that the boy was
missing.
"where's TOMB" he growled, as he
entered the kitchen door.
"Gone fishing" said the girl.
Fishing! the rascal; I'll fish him
when 1 catch him."
And away the angry fellow went for
the brook. Coming within mailing
distance of his hopeful son, who was
bending eagerly over the stream, the
father yelled:
"Toml you scoundrel, Toni"
There was a d%eprecating movement
of n hand on the part of the boy,
who did not, however. turn his head.
Still more angry the avenging parent
came nearer and bawled out

took a sled on which they proposed to
descend, on the railroad track. After
sliding for nearly a mile without any

miles an hour over n smooth surface,
and in the face of Il stiff breeze, they
came to the fiat just above what is
