Why the South is Solid.

The treatment Of Poland by Rus
STA and the old colonies of this
country by Great Britain, was mild
and parental compared with that
heaped upon the South by the Re-
publican party. There has not been
a political campaign for years dur.
ing which the dialect of the pit has
not been ransacked to find words Of
sufficient bitterness, sulphurous
odor, and hot wrath with which to
express what the Republican party
feel toward this section of the Unit.
ed States. The South was robbed
by a band of carpet baggers, before
whom the brigands of the old world,
in the palmy days of those highway
bandits, would take off their hats,
acknowledging their superior cruel
ty, with low bow, and since that
time the nation has been robbed of
its President, by the arm of power,
money, lying and forgery.
And still the work goes on. Every
Republican paper teens to-day with
SANDER, slang, insult and bitter in.
vective against the South, for the
sole purpose of string the Northern
heart" The old bloody shirt is wav.
ed on all occasions and everywhere
dipped anew in cats or devil blood
to excite the mad passions of men.
The leaders of the Republican party
know in view Of the abominable cor.
ruptions Of the party they could not
carry single State in the Union,
trusting to its merits, hence their re.
sort to policy to inflame and keep
up sectional hate. They know very
well that if they can succeed in
keeping the voters of the North mad
against the South by their malicious
and diabolical appeals to all the base
passions of the human heart, they
may succeed, but not otherwise.
In the above statement of facts
we have an answer to the question
why the South is solidly united. It
is for self protection against the
wicked and rindictive policy Of the
Republican party. 1t is not in tho
power of human nature to act differ
emily under the same circumstances.
Let the abuse, insult, slanderous
and Wholesale villainy cease, the
South would break up into different
parties, according to the pecuniary
interests Of localities, but so long as
a great political party stands ready
to stab and destroy the South, it will
unite and oppose, by all legitimate
means, every encroachment upon
its rights.
The South is loyal-yet free. It
has been oyerpowered and has ssac.
cepted thesituation.n But no thanks
to the Republican party that it is
not FESTIVE and troublesome. Every.
thing that cunning and unscrupu.
lous ingenuity could invent has been
done to exasperate and madden,
still no word of wrath or threaten.
ing from any leaders of the South
has been spoken. Let the same state
Of things exist in any other govern
ment on the face of the earth, or
section Of the North, as existed
here under Radical rule, there is no
power to prevent revolt; but the
South is loyal, and will remain SO to
The end, conquering by her endur-
ance and silent accomplishing.
If You had an agent working for
you and you found him dishonest,
would You allow him to choose for
you his successors Ifnot, why will
you allow the dishonest politicians

The Pronunciation Of GU"

Ninety-nine out of every hundred
Northerners will say institoot instead of
institute, dooty for duty-a perfect
rhyme to the word beauty. They will
call new and news, moo and noos-and SO
on through the dozens and hundreds of
similar words. Not a dictionary In the
English language authorizes this. In
student and stupid, the gu" has the
same sound as in cupid, and should not
be pronounced stoodent and stoopid, as
so many teachers are in the habit of
sounding them. ri i-. =
It is a vulgarism to call a door a doah
as we all admit-isn't it as much of q
vulgarismt to call anewspapera noospaper?
One .vulgarism is NorthernI and the other
Southern, that's the only difference.
When the London Punch wishes to
burlesque the pronunciation of servants,
it makes them call the duke the dock,
the tutor the tooter, and a tube a toob.
You never find the best Northern speakers,
such as Wendell Phillips, George William
Curtis, Emerson, Holmes, and men of
that class, saying moo for new, Toosdey
for Tuesday, avenoo for avenue, o. call
ing a dupe a doop. It is a fault that a
Southerner never falls into. He has
slips enough of another kind, but he
doesn't slip on the long."u." AS many
of our teachers have never had their at
tention called to this, I hope they will
excuse this notice. -SoutheTn Letter.

News from London says that q terribly fatal
explosion has occurred in the London and South
Wales Colliery Company's new block-vein pit at
Risca, six miles from Newport. One account
says that 119 men were in the pit at the time
of the explosion, and another saysethat It'll
thought that there were two hundred in the
mine. "a dispatch from~Cardiff says: "one
hundred and twenty-eight were in the pit Of
the. London n South Wales C%olliery Com
pany's mine at the time of the explosion, and it
is believed all persisted" A special from
London says: THE scenes about the mine
are reported as heartrending. There is q
large throng Of people present, composed in a
great part of the relatives and friends of the
imprisoned miners. Among them are many
women who are bewailing the fate of husbands
and sons, while little children are asking
anxiously concerning their fathers. Every
thing possible is being done to expedite the
rescue Of the men, but scarcely any one hopes
to find one of the miners alive"

Chastine Cox, the murderer of Mrs. Hull, in
New York, was hanged last week. Cox had
nothing to say on the scafold, only, "Tell my
brother it is better we should not meet again
on this earth, but viii meet in heaven" The
public are familiar with his crime. Mrs. Hull,
his victim, was found in her bedroom, dead,
with the finger marks Of the murderer upon her
throat, and every indication Of aterrible strug-
gle for life about her. The jewelry had been
torn from her person, and her room pillaged Of
its yaluables. The murderw was adeep mystery,
and for a timea strong suspicion rested upon
Dr.. Hull, husband of the murdered woman,
who slept in another part Of the house. The
injustice Of the suspicious was made apparent
when, by degrees, the stolen jewelry began to
find its way into the hands of the police and
was slowly traced to Chastine Cox, who was
Terrified out by detectives, tried, convicted and
sentenced to the death which he has just met
on the scaffold.

An.I1nexnected .Response.

Preachers in the frontier settlements
have had often ludicrous experiences.
They must hold the attention of q con-
g~regation in spite of crying babies, and
keep their own gravity in circumstances
both awkward and ridiculous. Occa-t
sionaIIy the strain is, too great, and they
surrender to the situation An eloquent
Episcopal clergyman was ignominiously1
driven from the pulpit by q donkey.
He was a: favorite preacher with b
frontier families, for he depended little
on q manuscript, and used familiar
phrases and illustrations which inter-
ested them in his sermons. In enforc-
ing the lesson of a sermon, he was earn
est and. practical, and made direct APP
peals to his hearers t ,li9ts'1
On. one occasion, during the summer,
he was preaching ina crowded school
house. The windows were open, and.
cattle were browsing. on the shady side.
Among them was q donkey, which,
having drawn one of the families to
the meeting, had been turned loose to
browse. The preacher was ending his
sermon with, aAnd now, beloved, what
think ye Of these things?
D At this iuncture the donkey put his
head through the open window and gave
q most unearthly bray. The preachers
self-possession wavered, and hands and
handkerchief went up to the faces OF
the congregation. i7f,1 gtas.
The silence grew oppressive /; but the
preacher managed to add, 81 say. my
brethren, what think You of these
things I? " to which the donkey respond
ed BY q second hideous bray. 1t was
too much for preacher and nearer. In
a minute the sermon was ended, the
congregation dismissed, and the reopl
gathered in groups outside, con- i!sef
with laughter.

work of the packing house of J. N. Smith, East
Atchison, No. having engaged several colored
men, to whom he was paying S1.25 a day, a
drunken mob, armed with revolYers and knives,
made their appearance on the spot and COM
PEELED them to quit work. From there, the
crowd increasing, they proceeded to the brick
yards Of Seth & Co., were seven colored men
were employed, and compelled the suspension
of all work, and drove the colored men over the
river, The mob then numbered several hun
dred, and was addressed by the Mayor Of
Atchison and others, urging peace and order,
but without avail. The colored drivers of the
transfer teams were compelled to turn back
over the bridges, and the colored parties at the
various freight depots and the other darkies in
town were hunted up and sent over into Kansas
and the authorities finding all their efforts to
quiet the mob useless, telegraphed to Sheriff
Spencer, Of st. Joseph, to come and exercise his
authority, but he refused to come. The mob
now have possession of East Atchison and defy

tramp, smiling, said he would surrender, but
FIVE seconds later drewIa pistol, while his cap

rounded the house, and when he appeared in

the dust to fly from his clothes, but not NOR

a pistol IN either hand, and while they were re-
loading, tookto the fields. The posse followed
him, and firing another voIley, brought hinAto

Eta Wade was arrested in Chicago the other
day for cruelty treating her nine-year-old step
son. 1t appeared that the woman had at vari-
GUS times, when her evil temper was reused,
beaten the boy with a club about the head until
he.was insensible; had belabored him with a bill
lard cue until his arm was broken; had struck
him on the head with a shovel; had cut him on
his bare skin with a rawhide,, and IN atdevilish
moment had held his little hands in such close
proximity to q fed-hot stove that they were
nearly crisped with the heat. The father, who
had protested against these inhumanities with
what energy he dared show against this female
iend, was not held by the Justice, but Mrs.
Wade was held over to the Criminal Court in q
$500 bond.
