Inebriated apes.

The learned author of the Descent
Of Man, in noticing that animals of.
ten suffer from diseases that aff1ict
ourselves, might have added that, in
some cases, they are not free from
our vices also. According to a recent
letter from Darfur, in Africa, the
monkeys of that region are inordi-
nately fond Of u kind of beer made by
the natives who use, the beverage to
capture their simial poor relations.
Having placed quantities of the beer
where the monkeys can get it, the
natives wait until their victims are
in various degrees Of finebriation, and
when they mingle with them, the
poor creatures are too much fuddled
to recognize the difference between
negro and ape. When the negro
takes the hand of one Of them to lead
him of, some other fond creature
clings TO the hand Of the latter one,
another to his hand, and thus a sin
gle negro may sometimes be seen car
rying off a string. of staggeringsmon-
keys. When secured the beer is
administered in decreasing quanti-
ties, SO that they may only gradually
awaken to the sad result of their
spree.

J General Hancock's declaration that
"the bayonet is not fit instrument
for collecting the votes of freemenn

which of these conflicting policies

A solid South, gained by murder,
intimidation or ballot-box stuffing,
will mean a ".solid North" cemented
by patriotism and indignation, and
don't you forget it."
We clip the above paragraph from
the Chicago Ne,cs, q paper, according
TO the Parkersburg Journal, that is
devoted to the dissemination Of Dem.
ocratic doctrines. Republican Jour,
mails and speakers regard the changes
that have taken place in the South
as something remarkable. There is
nothing. whatever strange about il.
The carpet-baggers have pretty
much all absconded from the South,
and now the blacks, left to follow
their own interests and judgement,
naturally vote the Democratic ticket.
Nothing remarkable about this; they
simply support the men who support
them. This is the most natural
thing in the world. But it gals the
Republicans to think that they gave
the blacks the ballot, and now they
have gone back on the Republican
party. -Pd,shandie Nescs. 500,

Then he left her again. She had
hoped that he would plead for her,

gone, gone for two long years. How
she lived through them she could not

"He is Furnishing me-" the lady
thought, and for two years longer she
remained in her castle. Her heart
was breaking-her health failed
she knew death was near.
Again she sent her lover a mes

The page returned, and stood be-
