en- hundred and fifty thousand negro voters
are allowed but one delegate in the legis-
lative body of the nation while only an
eoual number of white Republicans have
q representation one hundred and sixty times
larger.
Has John Browns soul marched, clear out
of sight. Has the negro only exchanged
physical bondage for political thralldom!
Will the party of great moral idcas"-and
infamous rrachces-never keep the promises
made to its black vassals! The negro can
not be forever deceived. The forty acres
and mule" proved but dream; the Freed
mans Bureau, fraud; the Freedman S
Saving Banks, gigantic scheme to plum
der the blacks of their little earnings; fore
ed negro supremacy in the South, failure;
and the hope of securing political equality
is found to be a delusion, now that every
place, Legislative, executive and judicial
in the general government remaining at the
disposal of the Republicans, is occupied by
Stalled white. while, the black man is
kicked into the backyard to eat husks
with the swine, until his vote is needed to
aid in the election of some land-grab job

Adown the path where rose and thorn
Her light fee, were awaiting,
A maiden came one dewy morn
And stood beside re fountain.
Her c-ys'al pitcher 20 the brirl'
Was filed by gay young Francis,
The only thanks the maid gave him
Were shy bewitehing glances.
But the pitcher lies a reired heap
Upon the marble cleaning,
T'is useless now to Sigh or weep,
T'is broken at the fountain.
A stranger looks with elouded brow
There once his troth was plighted,
Then, turns away why linger now?

ZACH. TAYL0R's ANGER.-It is related
that Gen. Scott's famous letter to Zachary
Taylor announcing the withdrawal of most
of the regular troops from Taylor's COM
mand, to be placed under his own in a
projected movement from Vera Cruz to-
ward the capital of Mexico, was received
while Gen. Taylor was at supper with his
staff near Monterey. The General asked
Col. Bliss to read it to him. He had just
replenished his coffee cup and was engaged
in cooling it with spoon while the read
ing went on. This appeared to make no
further impression on him than that indi-
Gated by cOutemptuouS "Sniff;" but as
the real import of the letter began to ap-
pear, his whole manner changed, and he
abstractedly dipped the spoon into bowl
of mustard, which sat upon the table, and
stirred it in the coffee. This he repeated
until, by the time the reading of the letter
was finished, the contents OF the mustard
bowl were exhausted. Without saying a
word, and to Bliss astonishment and hor-
ror, he raised the cup to his lips and gulped
down the whole abominable compound.
He then broke into an excited and pro-
fame harangue, consigning to everlasting
damnatiOn every one concerned in the pro-
posed depletlon of his forces, and only
ceasing when his speech was overtaken
with paroxysm of suffering, which, with
him, usually followed violent outbreak
of temper The Colonel felt sure that
from the amount of mustard he had swal-
lowed, combined with the intelligence he
had received. it would lnfalllbly sicken
him, but nothing uncommon came OF it.
s'Ratsbane at that moment" said Bliss,

effect upon him than upon the stomach of

The ROLLING SNAKES OF ARKANSAS.
DIR. Alvord, County Clerk of Masterson,
and Mr.. Leahy, of Zellville, La, have just
returned frcm a hunt on Saline Fork, Ar
kansas. The party had stationed them
selves in the tree platforms about Yokum
Bluellck, and were waiting for 6eer, which
came there at dawn. The lick is at the
bottom of steep hill. DR.. Alvord sud.
denly noticed something like hoop come
roll ing down the hill and across the wet
lick. It was followed by three others
which rolled to where it had stopped. Mr.
Leahy called out: Hoop snakes Watch
them, boys!"
The snakes played around for a few min
utes, and then resuming their former pO-
sitions, standing on edge with their, tails
in their mouths, deliberately began to roll
up the hill. The gentlemen rubbed their
eyes and looked again-there they were,
rolling up hill Just as quickly and as easily
as they rolled down. At first the party
agreed not to say anything about the mat
ter, as they feared their story would not
be believed. But Colonel Stark, at whose
plantation they passed the next night, ex-
planned to them that the hoop snake is able
TO th1cken itself little in front of it's
point of contact with the ground, and to
keep this part of itself heavier than the
balance; hence, as the center of gravity
falls in front of the base, the snake cannot
help revolving in any direction in which
he keeps his ''wad."

PROPOSED EXTENSION OF THE V1R-
GINA MIDLAND RAILRoAD.-In an in
terview Nth the editor of the Danville
s'News," a few days ago, Mr.. Barbour,
who was in that pla ce, stated his object in
visiting Danville was to inaugurate a
movement looking to the extension of the
Virginia Midland Railroad beyond Dan
vile into North Carolina, by way Of the
coal fields of Buckingham, and thence to
Statesville, with the purpose of forming a
connection at that point with the line Of
railroad now being extended to Ashaville,
and thence on South. Mr.. B. had with
him an engineer and party to make rec
onnoissance of the route of the proposed
extension in order to ascertain the proba-
BILE cost of construction and the resources
of the country to be developed by it. This
reconnaissance will be made forthwith,
and the result speedily reported. Mr..
Barbour is using his utmost endeavors to
develop the resources of the country and
to increase the business of the road of
which he IS manager. in both of which he
has already been quite successful

There are some who are disposed to crit
icise the action of the State Executive
Committee in making SO many appoint
ments of canyassers in the present cam
paign against re-readjustment and repu-
diation. We have even heard the appre-
hension expressed by some Of the appoin-
ted canvasssrs lest in the appointment OF
SO many men of varied abilities the thing
would be over done. We would say to
such; they must not loose sight Of the i'm.
portance Of the issues involved. The life
Of a state is at stake-the Oldest and grand
est of them all. The veal or woe of a
proud people is the game played for. The
prosperity of generation is involved. If
the game is lost and it can only be lost by
supineness and Indifference or over conf
dence in our strength, political confusion
such as we have not dreamed financial
depression, stagnation of business, dishon-
or and ruin will be the price of our mac
tivity.
Such cause, with SO much to gain and
SO much to lose, can not have too many
standard bearers. Each man is selected
on account of some peculiar fitness for the
work that is to be done. Each man is
good and true, each can WELD wide in
fuence and we hope that the voice of every
one will be heard in his neighborhood,
county and district, advocating the cause
of right and honor.

AID FOR THE DEAF.-The Audiphone
is new instrument invented by Chica-
60 gentlemen. who had been deaf twenty
years. It is intended to enable deaf per-
sons to hear through their teeth. 1t is
made of vulcanized rubber, and resembles
a good sized fan. When used. the person
holding it simply touches the upper edge
of the fan or audiphone against the teeth
of the upper jaw. The inventor happened
one day to hold his watch between his
teeth, and noticed that he could distinctly
hear it ticking, though when he held it to
his ear no sound was audible: This set
him to thinking and working, and the re-
suit is the audiphone. Mr.. Medill, the ed
itor of the Chicago "Tribune," who has
been deaf for number Of years, says not
only does the audiphone answer when en-
gagged in conversation with person who is
foot or few feet from him, but it an.
swers perfectly at a concert.

least as one or two of them are concerned.

The Changes In Spelling.

The spelling reform is becoming a fact
The New York independent" recently
announced his purchase of special type in
order to print, in the new spelling, articles
from eminent philosophists. Nearly 8
score OF papers, great and small, have
adopted more or less of the changes
Prom inent among these is the Utica
Informing Herald"-the great providen
tial daily of the Empire State. Reformers
esteem the list below, which was prepared
by Hon. Jos. Medill for the type settlers Of
the Chicago Tribune" and which went
into effect in the daily for Sept. 2. 1879, as
the most important step yet taken. We
reprint it as a guide to those who wish to
begin the new spelling:
Hereafter spell certain words appearing
in the Tribune as follows:
Omit ue in demagog, catalog, pedagog
synagog, dialog. decalog, and other words
ending in logue and goge.
Omit the super1uous me in pro-

Omit the second m in dilema (dilema).

The wandering Ulysses has returned to
his native shores after an absence of over
two years. The people of San Francisco
received him with firing of cannon, music,
professions and fireworks, in fact there
was grand ovation. The Ex-President
has made a remarkable voyage around the
world, and the Grant Boom is big thing
over there on the Pacific slope. But he
will .hardly ever'' be president again.
The Baltimore american" lays him
softly ON the shelf after this fashion:
His fame is now at its most exalted
point; he will undoubtedly go down to
posterity as the greatest figure of our era.
and we could not bat regard it as sacri-
fee of his reputation if it should again be
dragged by party necessities into the
arena of politics.
The "Gazette'' is positively irreverent.
Hear how it talks:
The first rural fair that secures Grant
and places him on exhibition will make its
everlasting fortune. People everywhere
are anxious to inspect the shades of his
proboscis.
