True Stories about Animals.
Burlington Hawkeye.l


One day, children, when the menagerie had
been quiet for a long time, the hyena was look
ing so lonesome and desolate that the elephant
said he reminded him of "the howl Of the will
derness" every time he spoke. "You can't
prove it," said the hyena. "You pelican,
said the elephant, which was neither good
English, good grammar nor good fun, and no
body laughed but the elephant. 81 gnu you'd
say that" said the 'possum. Hello, old Tall
holt" said the elephant, "don't you know it's
no consequence what you think in this show?"
The bison interfered here, and said the pos
sum might not be very harte-beast, but he
had right to speak if "Well, well, old buff
faloafer," laughed the elephant, II reckon
you're here as the bisonifcation of justice, are
you, you old bison of q gun. I'd like to see
ANYBODY pull the wool over your eyes, The
bay mule down in the corner here remarked
that he'd like to see anybody pull the wool on
the end of his tail, but nobody let on they
heard him. Then. when the eagle tried to
saw something the elephant asked him II he
hadn't lust got off sixth ward transparency,
and then said he thought he remembered see
ing MIN on q barbers pole Then the bear
spoke up and said they'd had enough OF that
nonsense, and the elephant told him he'd bet
ter haul himself inside the hat store before it
rained, and asked if soft felt would be much
worn this winter, And then he finally got the
monkey to crying by calling him Mr.. Darwin
and telling HIM he looked enough like man
to run for Congress. And in little while he
had the menagerie in such an uproar that the
lights had to be put out and the people sent
home. Land yes, children the trouble they
used to have with the elephant no tongue can
tell He was always such tease.

Election Day at Yazoo.

A letter written from Yazoo to the brother
of the murdered Dixon tells how the election
was carried in Mississippi. with the assistance
of Senator Lamar. The name of the writer is
suppressed out of regard for his well being:
YAzoo CITY, Miss, Nov. 7th, 1879.
Mr.. Frank Di1on.
FRIEND FRANK-The election is over, and /
know YOU are anxious to hear how it passed
off. will not attempt to give you full out
line of everything, for 1T would take severai
in regard to what occurred on the day of cleo
ton 1t was understood among the bulldozers
that if the negroes could not be induced to
vote with them, they would not let them vote
at all. AS soon as the polls were open at the
court house, Jim Barksdae, Tom Williams,
Whadley, Gibson, Bob Wheeless, Lambeth
and about twenty others took a stand at the
gate and voted them three at time, which
would have taken at least two days for them
all to vote-if they had been allowed at an.
Every time q negro would come up to the
gate they would demand him to show his ticket.
If he showed an Independent ticket he was
knocked down. They went on in this way
until about II o'clock, when Jake Holder gave
the signal, and all drew their pistols and COM
menced firing in the air. The negroes all ran
off, and of course there was no more voting.
The same game was played at Benton and
Dover.
When all the negroes collected at the polls
they commenced firing in the air. You have
lived long enough in the South to know that a
negro can't stand that sort OF punishment |
don't think there was exceeding five hundred
negro votes cast in the county. AT Silver
Creek, where everything was solidly indepen-
dent. they would not furnish them with either
box or registrating book, so that the vote was
thrown out entirely. don't suppose IN the
history of any country such fraud and yillainy
was ever before practced ON people. Taylor
had about seventy deputies appointed to keep
peace and order at the polls, all OF whom par
ticipated in the shooting Taylor fired four
up the streets with their jaws tied up, and
whenever they are asked what is the matter
they will answer, Nothing. I tried to vote an
independent ticket at the court house" As
soon as can see all the boys from the other
precincts L will write the whole thing up and
send it to you. 1t is getting late will close.

THANKSGIVING.
PROCLA ALTON.

At no recurrence of the season which the devout
habit of religious people has made the occasion for
giving thanks to Almighty God and humbly invok-

enjoved by our whole country been more conspicu-
GUS, more manifold or more universal. During the
past year. Also unbroked peace with all foreign ma
tions the general prevalence of domestic tranquil
ty the supremacy and security of the great nsttu-
tions of civil and religious freedom, have gaddened
the hearts of our people AMI confirmed heir at,
tachment to their government, which wisdom and
courage of our ancestors so fifty framed, and the
wisdom and courage of their descendants have so
firmly maintained, to be the habitation of liberty
and justice to successive generations.
Now, therefore, l. Rutherford Hayes President
of the United States. do appoint THURSDAY,

George William Curtis and the
New York Seventh Regiment.

Mr. Curtis began his grafton at the Seventh
armory, Monday night, as follows:-
''This brilliant presence and the splendid
spectaclo of to-day's parade recall another
scene. Through the proud music oil peallng
buges and beating drums that filled the air as
we came hither, L heard other drums ana other
buges marking another march. Under the
waving canopy of the red, white and blue,
through a tempest of cheers two miles long
as Theodore Winthrop said, amid fervent
prayers, exulting hopes and passionate fare
wells, the Seventh regiment marched down
Broadway on the 10Th of April, eighteen years
ago. When you marched New York went to
the war. Its patriotism, its loyalty, its unqua!l-
ing heart its imperial will moved in your gilt
tering ranks. AS you went you carried the
flag of national union, but when you and your
comrades of the army and navy returned, the
Stars and Stripes shone not only with the
greatness of nation but with the glory OF It's
universal liberty. These are traditions that
will be long cherished in this noble hall IN
great and sudden emergencies the state militia
is the nucleus Sand the vanguard OF the Volun-
teer army Properly organized, it furnishes
the trained skill, and military knowledge,
without which patriotic zeal is but wind blow
inc upon the sails of ship without rudder.
No public money is more economically spent,
no private aid is moro worthily given, than
that for supporting the militia amply, gener-
ously and in the highest discipline. Other
countries maintain enormous armies by enor-
NOUS taxation. The citizen suffers that the
soldier may live. Our kinder fate enables us at
insignificant cost to provide in the National
Guard not only the material OF an army, but
school of officers to command it. A regiment
like the Seventh and the other renowned regi-
ments of the city is not only in its degree the
model of an admirable army, but it is militia
ry normal school. 1t teaches the teachers.
Six hundred and six members OF this regiment
received commissions as officers in the volun-
teer army; three rose to be MAJOR
generals. nineteen to be brigadiers, twenty
nine to be colonels and forty-six lieutenant
colonels. This is the roll of honor OF one regi-
ment of the National Guard, and OF such is
the New York Militia. 1t is the people pro-
tectlng themselves, not only against the for
eign peril of war but the domestic peril OF CIV
il disorder In the last dire extremity behind
the policeman's club glistens your bayonet.
and its stern radiance guards the common
wealth like wall of fire.

springfield Republican,
The Maine Question.

Gov. Garcelon and his associates in the Coun
Gil in Maine disavow any intention to do any
thing but what is legal, but this is hardly reas-
suring to the Republicans in distress, as col
or of legality can be pretended to the most
abominable shenanigan in politics. BY throw
ing out the votes of three large Republican
towns and cities in as many counties, the polit-
ical complexion of the Senate and House can
be totally changed, and it seems to be admitted
that technicalities can be alleged against the
validity of the election procedures in these
three cases. The invalidating circumstances
are not such, however, as ought to defeat the
popular vote, the good faith of which, as re-
ported on the face of the returns, is not seri-
ously questioned. If votes are to be thrown
out for mere teehnicality, probably as many
Democratic towns would be thrown out as Re-
publican, but it seems to be the purpose of the
Governor and Council not to open the returns
to public scrutiny in advance OF the final deci-
sion. This is the suspicious circumstance winch
justifies the Republicans in circumspectioD.
The defective nature of the constitutional
government of Maine is disclosed by this cir
cumstance. The Governors Council are elect
ed by the Legislature on joint ballot; conse-
ouently they are likely 10 be all of one pollti-
cal party, and the minority of the State for the
moment is totally unrepresented; whereas, IL
Councillors were elected by districts as in Mas
sachusetts, there is some chance that minority
parties, strong in certain localities. would be
represented on the board, and any purpose to
count votes in hole and corner thus frustrat-
ed. If the Republicans are ever restored 10
power in Maine they are likely to amend the
constitution so that the candidate for Cover
nor who has the most votes will be elected and
SO prevent complications like that which is
now feared The Democrats are playing for a
considerable stake, involving not only the
Governorship and State offices, but the control
of the Legislature in 1881, carrying with it the
choice of United States Senator and possibly
of Presidential electors. This is the scheme
attributed to E. F. Pillsbury, the Democratic
s:hoss" :" we do not believe it is seriously en-
tertained, as it requires the sanction OF politi-
cal stealing by majority of the people OF the
State at the polls next year, which is not at oil
likely to be given.

the postmaster who sends back missive in

stamped ''no such office in that State" after
it has got hundred miles away from Maine

ever there was. In those days the Govern
ment will devote itself to giving high moral
lessons to all the careless people in the COM
munity. But justice will be tempered with
mercy. and every householder will be per-
mitted to subscribe for "Guides," so that at
an expense of say $500 year, he can learn
the new kinks in each department as fast as
they come up, though it will take all his
time and most of his money.
In the mean time we have some happy
days still before us, during which competi-
tions hall continue to make traders accommo-

But what a fate our posterity have before
them should the Commune come! Let us
delay the car of Progress and be stern con-
seryatives for the sake of those innocent,
unborn generations, or else pray the sun
may grow cold, the stars grow old, and the
leaves of the judgment book unfold before
they come under the sway of beneficent de-
