TRUTH WORST OF ALL.

A man who said he was trying to get
enough money together TO reach Toledo
Yesterday entered an Office on Griswold
street and told his story, and added that his
name was Caesar.
ANY relation to Julius or AugustusE'
queried the citizen.
"Well, no, ! want to be honest and
square about this thing, and ! tell you hon
estly that am not related TO either
Then cant help you any. You are
nothing but common sort o. plug and it
won't make any difference whether you ever
get to Toledo or not If you were related
10 the great julius, should feel in duty
bound to help you"
The man backed out without another
word and entering the Office next door he
walked up to the occupant with the re.
mark: my name is Cesar, and am
closely related TO Julius and Augustus. Can
you spare me ten cents to help me get TO
ToledoIH
"Sir, you are base deceivcrw replied
the other. "You are no more related TO the

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALEXANDER COUNTY.

OUR Republican fellow citizens IN In
diana who are trying to get a black popu-
lation in that State have not succeeded in
convincing anybody that the Indiana FAR
mers are hungering for black farm hands
In making such statement as they dia IN
November last, Just at the threshold Of win
ter, when farmers always dispense with hil-
ed men as far as they can, the exodus gen
tlemen committed silly blundcr If
they really want 100000 negroes
in Indiana there is no use
making false statements. The farm labor
ers are not needed, but if the Republicans
want the blacks Just to look at and admire,
they ought to be willing to quarter them in
their own houses and iced and clothe them
while they are enjoying the dusky spccta-
Gle. Ii the negroes are wanted for voting
purposes, as is getting to be apparent,
the Republicans should admit it
instead of utterlug deliberate false
hoods. We observe that the farmers Of In
diana vigorously deny that they want black
farm hands, and the conviction is generally
forcing itself upon the minds Of the people
of that State that if the scrubby Republi-
can politicians succeed in introducing lO0,
600 negroes into the State they will be tax
ed to support just about 100000 paupcrs
mostly old men and womcn.-C ourerJour-

OPERAS--GONE AND COMING.-The char M
ing little operettas which have been per-
formed at the Theatre for the past three
evenings by the BijOu Opera Company,
while they were not performed to the cold,

are clever and refined musical works OF
more than transitOry worth. Like old wine,
they improve on acquaintance. The matt
nee and evening performances OF yesterday
were delightfully."- given to pleased audi
eneeS, and a singular feature OF them both
was the paucity Of the attendance in the
galleries. The hdbituES OF these lofty regions,
however, are only happy with blood ana
thunder and the broadest variety features.
This fact alone speaks well for the excel
lence OF the BijOu Company. IN our no.
tices OF the excellent acting OF Mr.. Her

Mr. Gilbert. Mr.. McCollin was also i'm
properly called Collin. The company,
though small, give highly creditable per-
formances, and deserve well Of the public
