ARE THEY AFRAID THEIR OWN EX.
AMPLE WILL BE FOLLOWED?
From the N Y Sun


Mr.. Conkl ling and the other repub-
lican orators assign as one of the two
chief reasons for supporting Gen.
Grant, that he would take the Office
if elected, and would not submit to
he unlawfully deprived of it by his
opponent.
This sort of argument appears q
little out of place in the mouths of
the republicans. No republican duly
elected to the Presidency has ever
been excluded from that office and
there is no reason for supposing that
any duly elected republican ever will
be excluded from it.
The ouly candidate fairly elected
president who has ever been pre-
vented from entering upon the duties
of his office is democrat named
Samuel j. Tilden. He was excluded
by the republicans, aided by the folly
and CO owardice of certain weak-kneed
men i'll his own party.
Every republican ever elected and
one republican who was not elected d
have taken possession of the Office.
We suspect the real meaning OF
MIR. Conkling and his allies to be,
not that they want u candidate who
| will take possession ii elected. but
| that they are determined to have an
INSCRIPTIONS soldier who will seize
possession even though not elected.
LET THE GREAT QUESTION BE SET

The Intelligencer is threatened with such
an avalanche of political communications
tn. it must, In justice to It's readers and to
itsef, adopt u few inneXlble rules regarding
them. We will print, without charge, short
letters, not exceeding four inchss In small
type, advocating persons for Office, IT hand
cd in By Wednesday evening of each aoeeh. For
'fcalls,n which are entirely in the interest of
the individual candidate, we shall make a
reasonable charge. AS Thursdays and Fri
days are our news days, we hope our friends
will not feel offended if political commune
cations received on those days are postponed
until the following week. II

With thousand hues tinting
The soft, green earth.

With pure lilies white.

The full veins along;
And pour in full measure

Last Saturday a week ago, while Mr.
Isaac Reed and his four children were
picking cotton upon q portion Of land
belonging 10 Mr.. Newton Gates, In this
county rocks began 10 fall about. when
Mr.. Reed, In anger, grasped up a stone
and exclaimed: Whoever you are, n
you don't stop, you'll get thisr' hold
ing up the stone IN his hand. But the
rocks kept on falling so fast that all be-
gan 10 wonder who could be throwing
them. when IL was noticed that they
were rising of the ground about them
and falling backl So strange a sight
caused them TO leave the field and 20 TO
the house near by, when the stone-fall-
ing commenced there. Some Of the
near neighbOrs were sent for, among
them Mr.. N. Gates and Mr.. j. Bazel Ga
sister of whom is Mr.. Reeds wife), and
all saw the rocks falling some of which
were hot and all testify TO the same
facts-for facts they are--but as TO he
cause none Of hem pretend TO know.
Now, some will be so incredulous as ut
terly TO deny this, and cry out,
"pshawr' and superstition;n yet, in
spite Of all, these are well-established
facts, as human testimony can establish.
Better accept Of them as facts and 90 10

day week the same manifestations were
repeated at the same place and one Of
the stones struck a little boy on the
foot and another stone struck Mr.. Bazel

tions' and appearances" or call them
by what names you please, have oc-

Modern Egyptians.


THEIR homes are mud huts, without
window or chimney, or any aperture
for the admission of air and light save
the low door. If the floor is ever swept
it is done with a bundle of twigs, and
even the wealthiest among them have
only q few carpets or mattresses, some
brazen cooking utensils, and a half
dozen coffee cups, by way Of furniture.
They live and sleep in the self-same gar
ments, have horror of soap and water,
and do not even unplait their hair dur
ing the long intervals at which they un-
dergo complete ablution in the public
baths. Each family makes its own
bread in fiat flaps, not containing much
more than good-sized slice, picking
and cleaning the corn, and having It
ground into -four at each baking. At
breakfast time they may either squat
round dish of boiled beans and oil or
chopped herbs, or divide among them a
bunch of green onions or raw carrots as
a relish to the bread; or, in some cases,
the men eat together first, and the wom-
en- and children have to be content with
their leavings. Supper is usually sort
of vegetable soup, with the addition of
a little meat If they can afford it,. which
in bad seasons is very seldom indeed.
Children are dearly loved but little
tended rolled up in dirty rags and pop
ped down on heap of rubbish or
perched upon the mothers shoulder,
where she can not see how their poor
little eyes are inhamed by the dust and
stung by the flies, in consequence of
which ophthalmia RACES almost un-
checked, and many are blind for life.
Great numbers die before they are two
years old, and it is obvious that the sur
viYors are those whose constitutions are
hardy. ID
