There Is no attempt made to deny
the fact that throughout almost the

vote at the recent election unless they
voted the Democratic ticket. The In

Missl Independent which argues
that the negro should be disfran-
chised at once. Answering tn o
statement that 1t Is impracticable to
disfranchise the negro, the hadepep-
dent says: Let Us try. Let US tell
the people OF the North that we can
not and will not submit to negro
rule nor to the rule of white men put
into power by. negro votes That, If
necessary to save ourselves from
such calamity, we will intimidate,

more radical than a majority oil

LEcruR1Ne A TEAcHER.-When Aaron
Burr was at Princeton College, he took a
strong dislike to one Of the professors. who,
being a good deal Of martinez, was in
the habit of lecturing the students for
tardiness and other misdemeanors. The
professor was membe, Of society Of
which Burr happened to be president, and
occasionally attended the meetings. One
evening he came in while they were trans
acting business. Burr saw his oppor-
tunity, and determined to improve it.
With great dignity and severe counte.
nance, he called the professor to rise. He
then began to lecture him on the bad
habit Of want Of punctuaIity, adding that
the older members were expected to set a
good example to the younger.
Il hope," he said, in closing, mot to be
under the necessity Of recurring to the
subjecpagain. You may take your seat,
SIR"
The whole thing was done SO naturally
and gravely that the professo1 submitted
like schoolboy, and it was said that a
great improvement in his treatment OF the
students followed. He had learned by ex-
perience the disagreeab|eness Of personal
lectures before crowd Of witnesses.

Value of Self-Exertion.

The value Of self-exertion appears no.
where more decided than when we follow
the track of those who became eminent
without having the advantage ground of
instruction from which to start There is
scarcely anything more gratifying to the
mind than the well-written life of a person
whose intellectual struggle through every
difficulty, arising from want of books,
want of examples, want of patronage, and
who, notwithstanding these impediments,
continues to struggle until he emerges in
to notice. Art surrenders some of her
choicest secrets, science smiles, and fame
or emoIumeut, or both, place the success
ful experimenter far above common names.
Not scantiIy are the inches in the temple
Of fame ornamented with lasting memo
rials of persons thus claiming their WE'LL
deserved honors-persons who have been
the boast and blessing of their day by dint
Of unsubdued patience and fortitude and
vivacious genius. Every department Of
art and science is filled with them. The
stimulating examples are on every hand.
From the lowest rank Of life they start
forth. They break all the shack'es Of ig-
norance. The repulsive frowns Of the
crowd cannot daunt them. The fears of
the timorous they do not listen to. De-
termined to excel, they do excel. Their
native energies urge them forward in
their honorabl career till success, more
or less complete, crowns stheir glowing
efforts. Chicago Ledger.

"Nor AT HoME."-A sign on house
on Croghan street, Detroit, informs the
public that washing ia done there, and it
was quite natural that mechanic work
ing near by should take bundle under
his arm AMI call there, and ask Of the boy
on the step:
.'Bub, is the washwomau in z"
mo, sir" was the prompt reply
"there's no washwoman here at all"
"But the sign says washing done here"
remarked the man.
"Spose it does," remarked the boy in a
higher key-"spose it does A lady may
become the victim Of unfortunate circum.
stances to such an extent that she is will
ing to wash and iron shirts and sheets, but
that doesn't make washwoman of her,
does it?"

"Hu,nph! If you draw buggy down
to the shop to be repaired, does that make
a horse of yous"

when the boy added:

side door, but the washwoman isn't at

AN AMERICAN D1sH.-Au amusing
story is told Of which it is averred that no
less parsonage than the late George Pea
body, the celebrated American banker, was
the hero. 1t appears that Mr.. Peabody
had invited three Eug|ishmen to meet two
Americans at dinner, and on this occasion,
having received as gift ten ears of green
corn, determined to renew the recolec-
tions of his youth, astonish his English
and please his Americans guests by having
it served up it the well known American
style. Accordingly, at proper time,
plates of butter aud salt were placed before
each guest, and the banker, with some
thing of an air of mystery, announced that
be was now about to treat his guests to
we'll known and delicious American dish
of food cooked in the American manner.
1t would be 20 novelty to his American
guests, but the Englismen must watch
how it was disposed of by them, and follow
their example and manner in disposng OF
it. Then, at signal, entered stately
butler, bearing large covered dish, which
he deposited solemnly before Mr.. Peabody.
In moment more, in obedience to the
bankers nod, he whisked off the cover, and
there before the astonished guests was dis
played pile Of ten boiled corncobs +! The
banker gazed for an instant in mute horror
and 5ismay, and then found voice to de-
mand an explanation, which was finally
reached when the cook was summoned-a
fellow who had never before seen an ear Of
Indian corn in his life. He replied that he
had followed his masters directions to
"s.rip off all the outside before boiling,'
which he had done most faithfully, not
only the husks, as was intended, but ker'
neIs also, so that the banker had only
what is, in America, the plate evidence OF
the feast, to indicate what were his good
intentions to bis guests.

The origin of "Mason and Dixon's line"
is this: Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dix.
on, mathematicians and surveyors, were
employed by Pennsylvania and Maryland
to determine the boundary line between
the two provinces. 1t is not generally
known that they set up at every fifth mile
stone bearing the arms of the Penn
family on the northern side, and those Of
Lord Baltimore on the southern side.
Whether the stones are still in existence
is a matter of doubt.
