Tanner Outdomc by the An
ClCsfS.

The following extract from an old
book, published some 200 years ago,
written by that ever famous Thomas
Mottat, Doctor in Physick,' shows
that Tanners feat is nothing COM
pared with what was done centuries
ago:
Some may live with hunger and long ahsti-
ncnce great While, according as I have read
IN many authors. Hippocrates thinkcth that
II man abstain from meat and drink seven
days he canliot escape death. Yea, when some
aftcrWard were persuaded to eat their meat
never passed through them. because the hungry
gut called jejnHAm iHtestinuni, was by alsti-
nencc clung together. But Pliny saw the
contrary, and TnOus's aunt lived two months
without cat or drink. lAlbertus, Alexander,
BeIiedlctuS, and JacObuS Sylvius write set of
more strange and ncrctlithle abstinence, bot Ii
OF l:len and women, which truly / would have
registered among the Lies of the Golden Legend
and the Abbot of Ursberg's chronicles, had not
William Rondclctils and honest JOubcrt,ls wit
messed the like OF a French gentewoman living
almost three years without any sustenance of
meat, bread. broth or drink, who ;,fterw;tru vas
married and conceived ii child, which was
brought Well forth and happily alive,
After reading the above "well-au-
thentlcated facts" we can afford to have
DIR, Tanner quit the stage and make
room for some new and greater sensa-
ton.

When so staunch, Radical and ire
concilahle, and witlal 50 influential a
Republican journal as the Philadelphia
North American, speaks as follows of
the Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency, 1t is about time for the small fry
to let up" in their attacks upon his
c!iaracter:
Republicans are very foolish who
try to ma lie capital for their party by
assailing the character of Gen. Hancock.
They do more harm than good all the
time. They are friends of the bird
from whom intelligent Republicans will
pray to be saved. A good many foolish
things have been said about Gen. Han
cocks letter to Gen. Sherman in the
winter of 1876. Now that the full text
Of that letter has been published, ex-
actly how foolish those things were is
made apparent Jealous but indiscreet
adherents of Garfield and Arthur can
not be impressed too strongly with the
fact that Gen. Hancock's s record is sim
ply, unassailable. They waste powder
against it,"

A Darkey who Wanted to be
'InferlMded.'
[MarkSyiile BHlletin,l

We had visit from colored man
yesterday who wanted to be "inter-
luded.n He had heard we "interluded p"
people. Understanding what he meant
and finding him to be a good natured
and polite darkey we thought we would
have our fun with him. To our gues-
ton where lie lived, lie answered In a
set speech: !" I live at Holmesyille, sab f;
on Mr.. Irion's place. We got fine cane,
fine cotton, fine corn we can lay over
any body in the whole parish Of the
State bout crops; yes, sa1 lon can
put down too, boss" continued our
visitor, 81. w. Muse & Co. got a big
store and sell goods cheap and they're
glad of de fine crops. l believe that's
all got to say"
"What ABOUT politics among the col
ored peopie,N we asked. "Politics
There's none out yonder, sab. Politic
is too far off this year. If it was in de
parish there'd be more 'citement. They
could get plenty whiskey to drink and
get drunk and sell for money. But you
see dey can't do that dis year."

A Good Dog Story.
IN. O. Country Visitor.

Our friend, Felix Bellocq. who travels
for one OF the leading wholesale grocery
houses of this city, whose truthfulness
is unquestiOned, relates the following
story of dog which may be accepted
as fact:
During my short stay in St. Martins
vile, last week, | called upon Mr.. 7.
Damare, who keeps a bakers shop, and,
as he was out, | sat down therein and
amused myself, us is customary with
me, by eating as long as there was any
thing to devour, it being one OF the
principal eDjoyments of my life. On
this occasion | purchased a loaf of
bread, fresh from the oven, and, as |
stood at the door eating it, large dog
came up and begged for piece, which
gave him and he seemed to enjoy it,
coming back to me repeatedly for more.
Pierre?" l inquired. "No," she an
swered, "but he passes most of his
people Inp T Who J pass.S is Pieaynnes Yum ai3' WHAT
good can they be to him ?" "Oh, he
knowns very well what to do with them
he comes into the shop and buys cakes"
This seemed rather remarkable in
stance of cleverness even for the clever
est of animals; so by way of testing its
reality, went out of the shop into the
street, where was Immediately accosted
by the dog, who begged for something
with all the elOQuence of which a dog is
capable. | offered him Il picayune, and
was rather surprised to see him accept
it readily, and walk with the air of a
regular customer into the shop, where
he put his forcpaws on the counter and
held out the picayune towards the at
tendant. Madame Pierre produced a
bun, but that did not suit the dog, and
he held his money fast. "Ah,' she said,
81 know what he wants." and took
down from the shelf a plate Of short
bread. This was right; the dog paid
his picaynne, took his short bread, and
ate it with decorous satisfaction. When
he had finished, he left the shop, and |,
much amused, followed him, and when
he again begged, found another plea
yune for him, and saw the whole pro-
cess gone through a second time.
This dog had clearly learned by some
means the use of money, and not merely
that it would buy something to eat, but
that it would buy several things, among
which he could exercise right of choice.
What is perhaps most remarkable is,
that his proceedings were entirely in
dependent, and for his own benefit, not
that of any teacher or master.
Any stranger residing in ST. Martins
vile, who will call at Mr.. Damare's
bakery will have a chance to witness
the feat of the dog.

A Line or Two OIL Editors.
One mere unfortunate,
Needless of evil,
Rashly ilrpOrtllnate,
Gone to the devil.

Why any man, sane or insane, with a
sound body, &; chance to cultivate his
neighbours watermelon patch and smoke
house after night, should ever want to
be an editor is more than we can tell.
1t is conundrum that stumps us as
plump as sumac grub does q sore toe,
or as a common sense question does an
average American statesman. AS for
us, give us liberty or give us death with
an undistorted corpse and a good-look-
ing girl to kiss us for our mother.
Aneditor! Everybody's pecking block,
scape-goat and sway-backed pack mule.
Ten thousand times -millioneth let
us be a bootblack, chimney sweep, peni-
Tertiary bird or congressman; be mud
clerk on coal barge, deck-hand in a
tripe factory, engineer of a one=donkey
power canal boat, dairy y-maid with an
aged OK and two he goats as our stock
in trade, or a servant gal in poor house
or an orphan asylum; be stock gam
bier, railroad director, president of a
sausage machine, rag vendor, charcoal
bawler, governor, or a one-eyed darkey
preacher; anything, everything, but an
editor.
And yet there are victims, self doom
ed, ever ready to sacrifice themselves
on the ink -smeared altar of endless
and thankless drudgery.

Bill Arp Ola Newspapers.

Your papers are Il great comfort to
me: in every number | find something
to put away III my mind and memory
something that did not know before
and that will be of service to me in time
to come. Ii a man can read he can get
good education by taking a good pa
per he can keep up with the world, and
make himself an entertaining member
in society; he can talk upon almost any
subject. Book learning is a very good
thing, but l know q man who has IL DOW
er OF that, but he never reads the news
papers and he passes for Il fool in his
neighborhood. Some papers are not
much in appearances, but | never took
one that didn't pay me some way more
than paid forit. One time an old friend
started Il paper away down in southwest
Georgia and sent it to me, and | sub
scrlbed just to encourage him, and after
awhile it published Il notice that an ad-
ministrator had an order to sell several
lots OF land at public outcry, and one of
the lots was Ill my own county. SO |
inquired about the lot, and wrote down
to my friend to attend the sale, and run
it up to fifty dollars. He did so, and
bought the lot for me at thirty dollars,
and scld it to the man it adjoined, for IL
hundred dollars, and SO made sixty
eight dollars clear by taking that paper
My father told me that when he was Il
young man he saw a notice in a paper
that a school teacher was wanted in Il
distant county, and he went down there
and got the situation, and little girl
was seut to him, and she grew up NIGH
ty petty and sweet, and he fell in love
with and married her. Now, if he had
not taken that paper, what do you rcck-
on would have become OF me +? Wouldn't
! be some other fellow, or maybe not at
oil .

etc:
Take equal parts of tincture of Ca

Napoleon B. Arthur deserted his wife
and family at Marysville, Ohio, twenty
years ago, to elope with neishbor's
daughter: His wife remained on the
farm, and reared their children, while
he wandered about the country. Apoor,
broken old tramp presented himself
recently at the homestead. This was
the wreck of the husband and father.
He begged for food and lodging, ex-
pressing the utmost contrition for his
bad behavior. The wife acted with
promptness. She set the dog on him.
and he barely escaped with his life.

A. H. Cox is running as an indepcnd-
ent candidate for Congress in the Fourth
Georgia District. His first speech
brought him good deal of laughter, if
not the promise of many votes:

| will go to the best of my ability.

With glory still in Freedoms home we dwell,
Indepencc-Day, to memory yet is dear,
Nor are the deeds of heroes great forgot,
For once the patriots voice is heard
In Llhtrtyss temple the rights OF all defending.
East and W, st, North and South in unison now
pour
Libatons sweet on one centennial altar
Duty, Falor, Charity, are the gifts Of hearts
once more,
Serenely spreads htlOwcd light around.
Contentment dwcl8 i'll every hut, and mansion
fine,
On ev'ry hill. in valleys, and on ev'ry plain
Tenthollsand tongues their greatest joy proclaim
TIL heaven itself reaches back our patri0t'a
name.
Hail noble scion of virtuous ancestors without
stain:
Americas champion, we greet thoe in Llberty's
name.
No Tsrant's speech, can thy noble heart pro-
claim.
Constant guardian of the peoples rights divine,
On thee trne honor rests III thy hands the trust,
Clement TO all alilke--liberty's palladium thou
didst uphold,
Knowing it was a birthright sacred to evry
freeman bold,
