A Disappointed Darkey.

A colored Adonis in Virginia City is in
love with buxom German woman who
keeps saloon in the northern part of
town, and has been using every art and
rule laid down in "self-H Helps to Court
Ship" to induced her to reciprocate his
affection. But she is obdurate and refuses
to receive his attentions, and he is there
fore bowed down with woe. On Monday
night he determined to resort to desperate
means to arouse pity in the fair ones
breast, and posting himself in vacant lot
adjoining her residence, awaited her ap-
pearance at the window. The Teutonic
beauty soon appeared and the colored
Romeo raised his pistol fired, and dropped
heavily to the ground "Mein Gott That
fool haf shot himself" screamed the OBJ
ject of his affections, and crowd soon
gathered at the spot. They caught hold Of
the inanimate form and dragged it over
the oyster cans, bricks and other resusci-
tating debris toward tho house. Don't
pring dot thing in here. Take him to the
oondeitaker," screamed the hard-hearted
one, whereupon the disgusted remains got
up aud fled, leaving an astonished crowd.

A Very Tough Yarn.

A Bradford, Pa, special despatch says
John Fannin, Jr., of Elk, is the toughest
man in the country. A few nights ago he
loaded up with the oil region whiskey, and
laid down to sleep on the railroad track
near Elk Creek bridge. While John was
asleep locomotive, drawing thirty-five
freight cars came along. The whole train
passed over him. John was found some
time afterwards by track walker. He
was sitting on log by the side of the
railroad. A few rags that hung here and
there about his person was all the clothing
that was left on him. His skull was crush
ed in over the right eye. His face was
badly crushed. From his throat to his
knees his body looked as if a jackplane,
set deep, had passed over it. The four
fingers of his left hand were gone. The
track walker said the man looked as if he
had been passed through thrashing ma
chine. He is getting better. He says he
must have laid on his back between the
rails. The cow-catcher of the locomotive
is only ten inches above the ties. The ash
pan is only eight inches above them.

ersJyESS MEN AND RESUMPTION.

Secretary Sherman's speech at Cincinnati is
addressed to business men, and deserves their
attention. He sincerely believes that much
has been done, by him and his party, to help
them to the prosperity which they now enjoy.
Yet democrats say, providence has done
q all. and Sherman and the Republican party
"baye done nothing" One thing Is
certain.-few Democratic business men
had that feeling, in the days when
all WAS darkness and doubt except In the
| Office where firm purpose and wise couhsels
guided the finances of the country. Then IL
was rare to find Democratic business man
who did not freely express his gladness that
there was in charge of affairs man so
capable and so strong to pull us through.
"But for Sherman" men sad often,
there would be no chance of success,
"apd resumption would be abandoned
cas- hopeless task When the good
work was done, and prosperity at once bega Il
l to roll III upon Us in rising tide, where was
fine practical business man, Republican OF
Democrat. who did not feel like uttering
his thanks to Secretary Sherman for
his splendid services to the country Wa:
everybody wrong then7 And is he wrong
now. in claiming that his faithful and judi
cious execution of Republican laws paved the
way for the prosperity which resulted
Those laws were not the work OF one man
Mr.. Sherman had done much i'll framing
them. but the Republican party had passed
them. and sustained them through four year

its wisdom VIII 1t be claimed by any san

II is q significant fact that when we arc
warned of the vast claims which the South Il
nreparipg 10 press upon tie United States
Goverumeut as soon as it Is restored 10 power,
tl,o Democratic papers at the North scout the
idea Of ger.becau,c, they say, the Consiitu-
zion nrohibits the payment Of any claims tor
the loss Of SHARES, or the payment OF the reDel
vor debts. Not to dwell at present upon the
methods by which a Southern Congress, sup
nortcd by a Democratic President. might
cyade tbs provisions, let us observe cor
tain point which the Democratic press IS par
ticular to avoid touching.
Tbeamendcd Constitution fOIbids the United
States orany State to pay fol losses incurred or
uroncrtv taken or destroyed in aid OF the Re
bellion. 1t saws nothing about the property
of rebels seized or destroyed by the Union
troops in suppressing the Rebellion. Large
sums have been paid by authority OF Congress
IN Southern loyalists whose crops were app.O-
priated and houses occupied by our armies.
There i not an cX-COn!Cdelate living Nho
does not believe that he has more equitable
claim for relief from the National Treasury
ON this head than his loyalst neighbOr, and
that the discrimination made against the ac-
five supporters of the Rebellion is piece
or Radical Injustice. The COnfederatcs hold
that the United States was bound to pay for all
the private property which it took during the
war. without regard to the politics OF the
owner; and on the Democratic theory OF
State Sovereignty they can make ont a case
which will satisfy their party II 1t satisfies
nobody else
The intention to press this claim at the OPP
uortune time has never, so lar as We know,
| been denied, and we DO not believe that 1t Will
be. The expectation that this Government
! after paving It's own soldiers, viii pay the
rebels too, is a living hope at the South. Bill

raid upon the Treasury. The measures art
never pressed to q vote the time Is not ripe
for that but they are filed" for future use
and if the Democratic party ever get fnl
mower In this country they will surely b'
heard from. What untold millions OF money
would be required in such an event one cal
hardly even conjecture The Treasury woulC
be promptly emptied; the reduction OF tn
debt would cease /; and then perhaps tn
paper mills would be set running again f
