Capturing a Canary.

A highly priced and fine singing
canary escaped from its cage this
morning and few among the trees in
Court Square until driven away by
the sparrows, then took to the branch
es of the trees about the Cumberland
Presbyterian church and was finally
Gagged by being wet-down. The pet
resisted all eoaxing efforts to be
wheedled back into its cage, but when
a hose played Wolf river water on its
wings it became heavy, then drowsy
and then dropped into the grass to-
tally overcome. The proper owner
captured the little wanderer by plac-
ing a hat over it, and would have
rather lost a fifty dollar greenback
than the tuneful canary.

The New OrIeans woman.

Now Orleans PioAyune.l
The New Orleans woman is a Gallo
American, or rather an American
Gaul. She may never have been out
Of the country or out OF the state +;
but for all that she is an alien to the
republic in the sense that she has
little knowledge of il and less care for
it and its affairs. If Creole or of
Creole descent or affinity she reads
French newspapers, has French habits
and opinions, and she is essentially
French in mind and manner. She
talks English, though she thinks in
French /; she is an inhabitant of the
United States, but a citizen of Louis
lana, especially Of its metropolis, most
of her outings being to adjacent par
ishes, Once in a while she may 60 to

woman be young, especially should
she DO unmarried, she may be very
graceful, though rarely slender in
figure, for plumpness and roundness

usually a brunette, Her manners are,
as a rule, superior to her person, Ii

with a bit OF lace, half yard Of ribbon

Gated, but such an education as she

was that $1,000 votes which were cast by
were reduced by the election
managers to 69.727. then by the county
canvassers to SO OH and the latter figures
were accepted by the State Board.
With this large reduction of the
legitimate republican vote and the fraudu-
lent increase of the democratic vote, the
republican majority Of 10000 which the
State would have had for Garfield and
Arthur in fair election, was tnrned into q
majority for Hancock Of 54.24l-
These are the practices by which the

While the democratic press are chargingthe
blame of defeat upon their leaders, and their
leaders are accusing each other, it would not
be out of place to review the composition OF
the democratic party at the time that it went
before the people soliciting their confidence
and suffrages. On the second day OF Novem-
Der there were mustered under the democratic
banners five hundred thousand men who in
1861 took up arms against their country, and
these men were led in the contest at the polls
by the identical leaders who in 1861 hOisted
the flag Of treason and bondage in eleven
States Of this Union.
ON the second day Of November
there were mustered under the demo-
cratic banners the same mass of cOrrup-
ton. that in 1861 filled the ranks of the
Golden Circle and in the great cities of the
North plotted and schemed for the annihila-
ton of liberty.
On the second day of November there
were mustered under the democratic ban
ners, the same crowd of unprincipled men
who in 1861 sought to decimate the armies of
our country by the introduction of foul disease
and pestilence-a crime against civilization.
On the second day of November there
we're mustered under the democratic banners,
every one of that two hundred thousand men
who, bearing the name of ''ku klux,"
'sWhitc Leaguers, or some kindred appela-
ton, have for six long years, terrorized the
poor colored citizens of the Southern States
into seeming submission to their inhuman
adversaries; men, who, in the darkness Of
the night tear from his cabin cot the poor
black, and for no other crime than his stead
fast adherence to the principles that gave
him his freedom murder him in cold blood.
On the second day of November, there
were mustered under the democratic banners
all that immense number of hOOdlnm vaga-
bonds who feed upon crime, and develop in
ignorance.
And so on to the end of the chapter. Is it
not bad material from which to construct
government. for Nation of fifty millions of
freemen? Yes. Gentlemen democrats, when
you can present to the country record un-
tainted with treason, and an organization pu-
rifed, you can reasonably look for success;
but until that comes you will never be trust
ed with the control fthis government. r.
