Plain Talk from Governor Perry.

To the Editor Of The Daily Nea0s:
The tone and temper of your article
yesterday morning on "Primary Elec.
tions" do equal credit to your heart and
head, as we'll as your patriotism and De.
mocracy. It is to be sincerely hoped
that the Democratic party in every county
in the State will adopt your advice and
rally to n man, in fighting the common
enemy of their country and civilization.
The nomination of candidates is nothing
more than the selection of standard
bearers before marching into battle.
Instead of letting their zeal subside
after a primary election, they should
be encouraged to renewed exeytion.
For the last four years we have had an
honest government in South Carolina,
and the State has been peacefully, pros
porous and happy; and it is passing
strange that any white man of sense or
principle, should now wish to restore to
bower that infamous black Republican
party which for the eight long years dis
graced South Carolina, plundered her
treasury and oppressed the citizens with
grievous and intolerable taxation. Eve
ry true Democrat and every honorable
man should rise up in the majesty Of his
strength and swear on the altar of his
country and his God that this shall not
be, let the consequences be what they
may. The poor, miserable. unprincipled
white man who tries to restore the Radi.
cal party to power in South Carolina
should be socially ostracised and not even
spoken to on the streets. He should be
treated as an enemy to his race, "hasti,
humani geneus" The colored man
should be told that his leaders are
making tools of him only to crafty their
piiiabIe ambition and have chance of
stealing his hard earnings. He should
be told too, that if he will vote to place
rogues and scoundrels in office and power,
no honorable Democrat will employ him
in any way. This should be. resolved on
and adhered to throughout the State
social ostracism for the white man and
no employment for the colored man.
There was never before political party
IN South Carolina which had such in
stinctive attraction for mean men, un-
principled men, poor miserable men am
bilious of honors and public notoriety.
1t is we'll known that if the Radical party
are organizing their forces, and it be.
hooves the Democratic party to be united
and fight manfully for their property and
honor. He who does not and stays at
home when the election comes on is a
traitor to his party, his principles, and to
his country.

THEY HAD TO SToP.-.On the train
coming East over the Detroit, Lansing
and Northern road the other night were
two we'll known politicians of this State,
one resident of Detroit and the Other Of
Grand Rapids. The seat behind them
was occupied by and ol lady with an
eye like hawk and nose as sharp as q
pointed stick, and she had her grandson
in charge, boy about two years old.
The boy had fretted and worried for
miles, and was feeling sleepy when the
politicians dropped into the seat and be-
gan mildly discussing the situation. The
old lady kept an eye on them and
patted the boy, and his eyes had just
closed iu sleep when they began to
warm.
"Hancock |" exclaimed one, "why,
he'll be so badly beaten out of sight
that you'll never hear his name called
again" u,.,,

can't lie him out of his office as you did
Tilden."
At this moment the old lady gave each
a dig with her fist and hoarsely whisper
ed:
"I want you both to shut up!"
"Hey? What's the matter?" they
queried in astonishment.
"Mattcr enough. This young'un
| squalled, and kicked, and bit, and howled
for more than fifty miles before I could
ret him quieted down, and now won't
have no jawing around here to wake him
up?"
'"But, Madam, l must convince this
Democrat that heis bound for the lunatic
asylum"
"And must show this Republican that
his arguments are but wind and con-
ceit."
"And say I won't have it!' she ex-
claimed, as she shook her fist between
their noses. ri don't care nothing about
Democrats or Republicans, or Unions, or
Presidents, or republics, or anybody else.

of the way to Detroit, and my SON.
in-law will lick him the mint the
train gets in! Now jaw away if you
| dare !"
The best they could do under the cir
cumstances was to 60 forward into the
smoking car, leaving the old lady rocking
to and fro and singing:
Little Bopeep has lost Ids sheen,
And don't know where 10 find him."

How Russian Wolves Capture Wild
Horses.

Whenever wolves associate together
for mischief there is always numerous
train of smaller ones to follow in the rear
and act as auxiliaries in the work of de-
struction. Two large wolves are sufli-
cient to destroy the most powerful horse,
and seldom more than two begin the
assault, although there may be score
in the gang. 1t is not less curious than
amusing to witness their ingenious mode
of attack. If there is snow, or but little
on the ground, two wolves approach in
the most playful and caressing manner,
lying, rolling and frisking about, until
the too credulous and unsuspecting vic
tim is completely put off his guard by
curiosity and familiarity. During this
time the gang, squattins, are looking on
ut distance. After some time spent
this way, the two ASSISTANTS separate,
when one approaches the horses head,
the other his tail, with shyness and
cunning peculiar to themselves. At this
stage of attack their frolicsOme APP
proaches become very interesting; the
former is mere decoy, the latter is the
real assailant, and keeps his eyes steadi-
ly fixed on the hamstrings or TANKS of the
horse. The critical moment is then
watched and the attack is simultaneous;
both wolves spring at their victim Mt the
same instant-one ut the throat and the
other Mt the hanks-and if successful,
which they generally are, the hind one

self. the horse turns round and round,
without attempting defense. The wolf
before then springs behind to assist the
other. The sinews are then cut, and in
half the time / have been describing it,
the horse is on its side, its struggles are
fruitless-the victory is won. At this
signal, the lockers on closed in at n gall
lop; but the small fry of followers keep

iors are gorged, and then they take their

Save the Rags.

The price of paper has been advanced
from 81 to 10 cents all over the country.
If this price is maintained, the public
will be compelled to pay more for their
newspapers. Many daily papers have
already increased their price from 20
cents to 30 cents per week, and weekly
papers from $3.50 to $500.
The advance in paper can be stopped
if the people will save and sell their old
paper rags. Three months saving of
rags and old paper by the entire popula-
ton, and selling them in the markets,
would check the advance in paper. Rags
are worth 3 to 81 cents per pound.
Every newspaper in the land should
appeal TO the people in this matter. And
they should also economize in the con-
sumption as much us possible.
