The Brutes' Revenge.
queer and Pretty Poem by an Eccen- tric Young French Poet.
 1Ernrn he Na,u

queer and Pretty Poem by an Eccen | tric Young French Poet. From the New York World.l M Emil Goudeau, the clever author of volume Of poems-''Fleurs de Bitume'-tha made such sensation about two years ago has written for the Revue Moderne ct Ma turallste copy of verses 'Ja Revanehe de Betes ct la Revanche des Fleurs D which, if il places It displays too apparent striving afte effect, IS yet so original, fantastic and vigo1 ous as to be worth presenting to our readers The following translation will give them very good idea of it
 You beat your dog, your blows the ass must take Your horse you bit and rein . Man, monarch of the world of brutes vou roaka A bogy of your cane.
 You find calf and straight his liver fry,
 With parsley deck his nose; The steak gashed from the patient ox,s tbfgb
 Unto the gridiron goes.
 Roast or With capers) boiled the sheep appears
 The hare jugged, to your eye;
 To cap3ns 3 you convert the chanticleers, o tender bullet; cackling at the dawn 0 quacktng duck sedate, U gohpnpg turkey, ignorant that anon Embalming trufies wait Upon n, them all you cast a baleful eye; Yog spare not the spring lamb And the doomed porker reads upon his rtv Mene, Iekel, Peres, Ham p You fish the river and you seine the sea- The brook your trout-line feels Through you so many widower shad there be, So many orphaned cells. You obdurate sardines and soIes shall find To prayers they offer up: Having in butchery breakfasted and dined On slaughter will you sup Massacre quail and woodcock in the air.
 To Salmis bring them down, The while the cabbage cruelty doth glare
 Upon the partridge brown lis not alone to feed your bloody steel
 Is aimed nor at tame threats For you the bear, the beaver and the seal
 Are mines of overcoats.
 You slay the tawny lion mid the heat
 Of Afric's desert red,
 To make humble carpet for your feet
 Beside your lazy bed. Murder is not enough with torture fell You your jaded sense revive.
 The rabbit, so your books on cookery tell,
 ssPleads to be skinned alive ' His carmine hue the lobster to assume
 Boils in the bubbling pot; And on your fork mpaled to living tomb
 The living oysters shotl
 But it shall come, the Day of Vengeance due,
 The Night of Punishment,
 When, underground, within four frail blanks you Eternally pent. For you reconpense in kind shall wait
 Your crime shall breed it's curse: With joy the brutes shall pay you back your hate That tired the universe
 The vilest of all creatures they will take That you would most despise;
 The merc1less worm shall go and windows make In the orbits of your eyes. On lip, tongue, palate paunch, he'll feed his fill,
 And on your skull devour
 That which week ago was Life and Will
 Pride, Fantasy and PowerI The brutes will laugh to see the Man of Prev
 Naught m the great All become, The Eater eaten and a banquet gay
 For the averaging worm

CURE OF DEAFNESS.

Of MT. w. J. CowIes, of Norfolk,
 Conn.
 Six years ago became hard of hearing, and ever since then the difficulty increased so that it annoyed me very much, and obliged me to listen closely in order to get along. In this condition placed myself under the treatment and care of Dr. Lighthill, who sue ceeded in restoring me tosperfect hearing, and thereby earned my lifelong gratitude.

their duty If this is so, of course no im- provement of their condition is to be expect ed, for business is business. All sides of the question ought to receive thorough exami- nation. One thing is plain, and that is that if women employed in stores must be on their feet all the time most of them get out of their proper sphere when they become clerks.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Washington Star has already begun to talk about what General Grant will do for his billiard room at the White House.
Morning journal and courier., 1880-05-22

The careful and elaborate account of the military career of General Mcclellan by George Ticknor Curtis in the North American Review inspires the New York World with the belief that candid persons of all shades of political opinion will rise from the perusal of Mir. Curtis papers with the conviction that General Mcclellan fell a victim, like many other commanders in many other countries, to the personal and political jealousy of his superiors in civil authority. The World also thinks that if the Democratic party is to go into the contest of 1880, as the advocates of MT. T1den insist that it should go, to avenge
 defrauded Democratic candidate, the Dem ocratic party ought to begin at the beginning. General Mcclellan" " it says, twas defrauded and bulldozed out of the Presidency long
 before anybody had dreamed of associating the name of MT. Tilden with that great office
 In common justice and propriety the Presi-
 dency in order of vindication belongs to General Mcclellan. After the wrong of 1864
 has been righted and the de jure President of
 1864 has been seated for a full term in the
 White House it will be in order for Mir.
 Tilden to claim consideration. But not be- fore!" The Democrats might do much
 more foolish thing than to nominate General Mcclellan.

The time has arrived when the
Democratic party Of Mason county
should be put in thorough organize
lion. No time should be lost. Let
the young men come to the front and
take the matter Of organization in
their own hands, and let them see
that every Democrat in every voting
precinct in the county, is listed, so
that none will be allowed to remain
at home on the election days in Dc
tober and November. See to it that
newspapers and documents are circu-
ted among the people. Newspapers
are much better than long and win

Flag Raising.

A beautiful Hancock and English
flag 1oxSo feet was run up the pole
lin this place Tuesday afternoon
Then the crowd adjourned to the
Court House, where they were adj
dressed at some length by Hon, T. j.
oliphant, of Little Rock, Arkansas.
In the course Of his remarks he told
some wholesome truths about Repub.
lican carpet-bag rule in the South,
and particularly in his own State Of
Arkansas. His speech. was well re.
ceived by the large. audience. Re-
publicans, as usual, are misrepre-
senting his speech, as they did Wade
Hampton's Stanton speech, in order
to make political capital, but it
won't win.

D. w. PoLsLEY, OF Mason.
Goyernor Jackson.

The next Governor, whose name
heads this article, spoke to a crowded
room at the Court House, last Tues
day night. He made o most excell-
eht speech, full Of logic and sound
reasoning. He gave full history Of
Garfield's connection with the Credit
Mobilier and DeGolyer paving con-
tract. He spoke for about two hours
and his words were enthusiastically
received and applauded. We are sat
isfed he did much good, and opened
the eyes of many. Republicans did
not like his speech, because he told
the truth on their candidates, and
backed it up by Republican testimo-
ny. They say his speech was very
damaging. We agree with them-to
the Republican party.
He was followed in his remarks by

thought then, that in the absence
of power to accomplish anything
through the Greenbaek organization
of the country the best course Of
Greenbackers was to unite them
selves effectively in resisting repub-
lican financial policies, and the
whole train Of evils which Republi-
can supremacy had entailed upon
the country, was to cooperate with
the Democratic party. / think so
now. The candidacy Of General
Weaver serves mother purpose than
to endanger the success Of the DEM
ocratic ticket and increase the
chances of Garfield and Arthur
Efforts in behalf Of Gen. Weaver
have been confined chiefly to Demo
cratic States, and / cannot but APP
prehend that the purpose of this is
to aid the Republican and damage
the Democratic cause. l am con-
tirmed in the view by the notorious
combinations Of q few Greenback
politicians in this State with certain
Republican managers to impose on
the masses Of the Grcenback party,
by using them to divide the Demo
cratic party with Democratic,
Greenback State Ticket, and elect
the Republican ticket to Office. l
have no sympathy with any such
project, and like hundreds Of others
who have been in the Greenback
party, Idonot propose to lend my
self TO any such scheme as choice
between the Democratic ticket and
the success Of Democratic principles
or Republican supremacy. i have
no hesitancy in saying that | am on
the Democratic side, and believing
that the Greenback organization has
fallen into the hands of men who
are trying to use it for their own
purposes, and not for the object it
was intended to secure, / shall sup
port the entire Democratic ticket
Leading Greenbackers all over the
country have taken this view Of the
situation, and i concur with them.
| know many in this locality who
share the same opinion. / have the
same desire for a change in the adj
ADMINISTRATION of the affairs of the
Government that I had two years
ago. | believe I am pursuing the
best course to secure such change,
and conscientiously entertaining that
view, / shall conscientiously do all
in my power to maintain and sup
port it.
