PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November TO-
RandalPs right hand man in this State
made q significant remark tonight that
political sentiment was changing from
Mr.. Tilden to ex.Goy. Seymour 10 such
an extent that 1t might be called an actual
revolution. The Bayard BOOM" he says,
"does not meet with the Seymour mem

wanted now, not statesmen. We want

Seymour did not want to run, but he did,

AS for the coming February municipal
elections here, the politician said that II
the Democratic Vaux and MCGoWan fac.
ttons were not restored t. harmony before
then the Republican city majority would
be at least 10000, and that means the elec.
ton Of Republican election officers and
magistrates in every ward, and the total
annihilation Of the Democratic party OF
Pennsylvania in the Presidential election.
The Republicans can then let Pennsylvania
take care Of itself, and then send all their
repeaters to New York. They won't want
them in Pennsylvania, but they might
carry New York with them. The MaVis-
terial convention, which meets early in
December, is likely to be adjourned to
give more time TO the restoration OF har.
mony between Vaux and McGowau, and
II the enmity between those old members
is healed, the Democratic party will unite
and give the Republicans all they can do
to save the State from going Democratic

during the past year he and his wife
and children had been converted to God.
Moses responded: "Bress God, Massa
c., doc 1 way up hea, I neber forgit
you in my prayers; olles put de ole
massa side de new one. Dress God,
dis make Moses tink about Joseph in
de Egypt again."
The colonel then stated to Mr.. B.
that his object in coming to Baltimore
was to buy Moses and his family back
again. But Mr.. B. assured him that
was out of the question, for he could
not part with him; and he intended to
manumit Moses and his wife at 40 and
his children at 30 years of age.
Moses was not far wrong in his refer
ence to Joseph. For when Joseph was
sold into Egypt God overruled it to his
good, and he obtained blessings that
were far beyond his expectations; SO
with Moses. he eventually proved the
instrument, in Gods hands, of saving
the mans soul who sold him.
Old Moses is still living, and at
present occupies comfortable house
of his own and is doing we'll for both

Virginia's Whipping Post.

"Austin Mitchell, fasten the pris-
oner," said the officer to colored in
mate of the jail; and Jones' wrists were
made secure in iron fastenings on the
post. Now all was ready.
William Jones is tall, wellbuilt
man of about thirty-five years, and
would weigh one hundred and sixty or
one hundred and seventy pounds. His
face was clean shaved, save his upper
| lip, which wore a short brown mus
tache, and he would be called rather a
good looking man. He was once a re-
spectacle citizen, being we'll connected
and having been we'll raised; but yield
ing to temptation several years ago he
got caught and has served term III the
Penitentiary. Afterward he served a
term in Jail, which was only few weeks
ago. He then received thirty nine
lashes, and upon being turned loose he
cribbed pair of shoes valued at 81. 80,
for which he was sentenced to receive
thirty nine lashes again and to work in
the chain gang for six months. And
yet after being catalogued with the "old
offenders" Jones looked as though he
would like to reform and regain his
whilom self-respect. "Oh. for the hal
cyon days." he sighed as he stood fas-
tened to the post. He had felt the whip
before and knew what to expect. It
was worse than having tooth pulled
worse than any punishment that he
could conceive. The officer who was
not devoid of feeling, said, Zones.
l don't like to whip you, and I'm going
to surprise you. Here goes. One,
two, three. etc." (connting). The Off
Ger used long cowhide; and each lick
brought the blood to the skin. The
stripes were laid across the back. The
whipper did not appear to inhict very
hard ticks, but by sort of slight of
hand-'a simple twist" of the wrist
they stung to the quick. The prisoner
kept a steady body. but his face
was a psychological study. The
writhing of the muscles, the agony, the
shame, these were intense. He uttered
not word, but the tears rolled down
his cheeks, and the spectators who hap.
pened to be in the Jail yard turned their
heads. He thought he was to receive
nine and thirty, but when the tenth
stripe had been inflicted the officer said,
''Thatll do for to-day. Unloose him. !"
Then Jones was unfastened and putting
on his shirt he walked back into his cell.
The officer informed the writer that he
had never whipped a white woman but
that he had whipped about as many
colored girls as he had men. 1--WE make
them strip down to the waist, and lay
the stripes on pretty hard. An Ethio-
plans back is tough and can stand it.

while all the rest of the world goes

of the iron-plated traveller of highways

Cant you spare me even q pair Of

"No."
"Nor q piece of bread?"
"No."
The fellows chin fell as he fumbled
in his pocket, and his voice had lone
some sound as he pulled out small

have to be satisfied with your ottergraff!

Lightning and Kisses.

The storm is coming on apace;
The trees begin to SILVER;
Big drops of rain drum on the pane,
And set me all a-quiver;
The clouds are black as ink, Oh-oh
How wildly it ightenedl
And this premonitory hush:-
Joe, am sadly frightened.
"No wonder, darling you're afraid
In such a storm a, this is:
But never fear the lightning. dear,
III blind your eye, with Kisses
It's driving down upon US now;
The very house is rocking;
Wind-currents roar, rain-torrents pour
Oh, how my knees are knocking;
The thunders crash and roll as though
The sky had split asunder;
Joe, shall surely faint away
I'm SO afraid of thunder.
"Darling, you well might faint away
In such storm as this is;
But never fear the thunder, dear,
I'll silence bring with kisses"
It's such catching season, Joe,
I'm in constant panic;
There's that about thunder-cloud
Which seems almost Satanic
What did you say, Joe-that you wish
'TwouM come on every day so?
You cruel felow-let me go
How do you dare to say so?
"Of such cruel wish, my dear,
The explanation this is:
The grass and grain need frequent rain,
And I-need frequent kisses.
