There is no paper among our exchanges
which pretends to be more scrupulous about
giving credit to other newspapers for articles
taken from their columns than the Rockland
Courier. In almost every issue Brother
Fuller charges some periodical with pilfering
from his paper. In this weeks Courier we
notice among the original editorials little
article on the State militia, taken bodily from
the Daily journal without a word of acknowl-
edgement. We care nothing for this, for
we believe that short items of news of gener-
al interest universally circulate from paper
to paper as common property. But we do
think that Brother Fuller should pull the
beam out Of his own eye, before he goes into
the lumber business by the wholesale. Be =
little less severe in your structures. You
must remember that

As to the means which were used to
intimidate the republicans, keep them
from the polls, and bring about results
like the above. the Abbeyville Press and
Banner. a good democratic journal, on
the morning after election indiscreetly
printed the following:
yesterday was a memorable day in Able
Vile. About 8: 80 o'clock in the morning all
the bells in town were rung, and the drowsy
sleepers were invountarily drawn from their
beds to the public square. which WAS bril-
liantly illuminated by huge bonfire made Of
dry goods boxes, ETC., and around which were
assembled large company of young men,
who had been on guard all night. The anvil
chorus and the constant discharge of small
arms made the scene quito lively one. :
During the early hours of the morn
ing the whites having first gotten to the polls
were busy voting. The colored brethren
soon began to come up, and all were asked to
vote with us, and whenever they expressed
willingness to do so, the white men, as a
mark ofrespect to sensible colored men. were
urged to stand back to allow them to vote
ahead of their regular time. The
rush to the polls in the early part of the morn
ing, was very great, and many of the radical
negroes, thinking that they should be hon.

agsrieved because they were required to wait

THE HUT ON THE VACANT LOT.


Welive in a hut on q vacant lot,
Father, and mother and I; t
IT'S away up town, and a dreary spot.
with old stone quarries close by.
Father is lazy. and mother she drinks,
And | am ragged and thin;
And I look like a thief, for tits hard to be pure,
When cirrled around with sin
IT'S a desperate place, this vacant lot,
A region of famine and woe;
The laborers found a Strangled rhild
In the quarry, not long ago.
And father is sometimes out all day.
And comes staggering home at night,
With money and things that he hides away.
For he never came by them right.
Mother is always at me to steal,
And urges her plea with n curse:
She tells me 10 sneak through the city crowds.
And pocket O. watch or a purse;
And father beats me because / say
That I'd rather any day die;
1 never have robbed and / never will rob. .
And I'll tell you the reason why.
There came TO our hovel. three years ag",
A man with a sweet, mild face.
And he held a holy book in his hand
That he tried to read in our place.
But mother she swore at the mild-faced man.
A nd drove him out of Our den,
And told him never, an long as he lived,
To darken her door again.
But something made me follow the man
/ think he beckOned to me-
And he led me down to a quarry's cleft,
And he read me things from the holy book
That 1 never had heard before,
And somehow a peace came over my heart,
And 1t didn't feel half so sore.
They may curse and beat me as much as they
like,
I know what they don't know;
l know that thing5 in the end come right
For those that suffer below.
No matter how ragged and hungry I am.
With no one to like or to love,
I know there's a vacant lot for me
In the beautiful land above.

American Invasion Of Paris

Native society, apt to seclude itself at each
change of government, and divided into in
tinitesimal c%oteries, has gradually found that
its place was usurped by the foreigner.
Formerly a stranger in Paris could not fill his
or her salons no entertainment was sutfi-
GENTLY attractive unless it was organized by
some well-knOwn Partisan, who issued the
invitations and presided over the soiree.
Things have changed materially within the
last fifteen years. The very best hotels in
Paris belong to Americans; the choicest boxes
in the orchestra are owned by them, and the
most handsome equipages in the Bots de Bou-
logne have the simple monogram of some
rich transatlantic trader who has made his
fortune and come to Paris like som nabob.
Fashionable mil.iners and dress-makers have
done something toward placing the American
colony i'll such a prominent position, but
money has been the lever which has opeue d

whose elegance, wealth and hospitality are as

whose beauty is as the ideal of some painter.
The great power of the American lies in the
fact that there is a very strong esprit de corps
prevailing among them they do not patronize

her pretty cOinpatriotes, who in turn are as
