The Passenger Agents Primer.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has the fol-
lowing primer lesson on '.The Passen-
ger Agents" .
Who is this pompous-looking man?
He is Passenger Agent. He is very
like lawyer, for he gets his living by
telling lies about everybody's road, his
own included. He can build more roads,
and regulate their policy better Gin his
minO than either Jay Gould or Wander
bilt Does he eat doughnuts for break
fast and crackers for dinner to save
money for the company? Oh, no, my
dear. The company pays for a square
meal, just the same; but he has the dys-
pepsia from reading OF. the high living
in his expense account. He works for
the "best railroad in the country" He
always does. There is no other road
that runs through such peculiar cli-
mate. In winter there is a great deal
of verdancy on his line, but it is mostly
in the passenger-cars, and in midsum-
mer, when passengers by other lines are
broiling in the heat and suffocated by
dust, his passengers are comfortably
lolling back in cushioned seats, with
light oyercoats on. His road is stone
ballast, steel rails, patent couplers and
buffers, runs all the way in the shade,
conductors and brakemen eagerly
watching for chance to hold crying
baby or bring glass of water to agood-
looking lady, and when the train reach
es its destination, instead of hurrying
back to get home, they wait around un-
til the passengers are all bestowed safe
ly away in buses, carriages or other
trains. Other roads may claim to do
this, but it is not so; his is the only line.
Ask him and he will tell you SO. What
is that scar on his cheek? 1t was where
he was wounded in the service of his
company. He was tacking up a card
(showing an enlightened public the ad-
vantages of his hne), and in his hurry
to get the card up he threw the hammer
back too far, and it struck him on the
cheek, knocking off that piece. Did it
dent the hammer? 1 think not, my
child, as they make these hammers ex-
ira hard. If you should buy a ticket
from him, and find you had to change
cars about fourteen times more than he
told you about, don't swear at him when
you get back. just go up to him, and
tell him you are going out again, but
don't like his line. He viii explain it
all, and if you enjoy q good romance you
will get it. 1t would be nice to be
passenger-agent if you did not have to
tell the truth at all times.

How They Do It in South Carolina.

The Bourbons of South Carolina have
earnestly resolved to carry the State
this fall and there is little doubt they
will succeed. The frauds with which
they have begun are practiced by the
aid of the law which requires registra-
ton as a precedent of voting. The tao
tics practiced at the registering place
in Ward Four of Charleston is a sample
of the tactics being practiced through
out the State. At that registering place
there are two doors. One was used by
whites, the other by the colored voters.
From seven a. m. on May 81 to ten p.
m. 102 white men were registered at
this place and only Is colored men,
though more than 100 colored voters
stood in line all through those hours
waiting an opportunity to register. The
excuse the Registrars give for their ac-
ton is that it takes longer to register a
colored man than it does white. But
they made no pretense of compelling
the voters, white and black. to register
in turns. Obviously they consumed as
much time as they could in registering
each white voter. And they admitted
every white as soon as he appeared
though many colored men had been
waiting hours yainly appealing for ad-
mission and registration. The object
of the Registrars was to consume all
the tine allotted to registering and keep
the colored voters off their registration
list, and thus deprive them of the right
to vote.
With the power in their hands, and
with INSCRIPTIONS rascals to use it, the
Democrats can and will exclude enough
colored voters from the registration list
to carry the State. We point these
things out with no hope that they can
be prevented or even corrected, but for
the purpose of showing that what the
Democratic party was it continues to be
"a party of fraud, desperation and rev.
olution. Detroit Post and Tribune.

A Reminiscence of the War.

During the civil war there was, right
ly or wrongly, lamentable prejudice
entertained against brevet rank and
Brigadier- Generals. Lincoln's estimate
of the comparative value of the mules
and Brigadiers gobbled up by Confed-
crate raider-the army mule was affec-
tionately known as s'brevet horse -
is known to most readers; but there is
another story, scarcely less compliment
ary, and much less familiar. According
to the anonymous ibeller, during an
active engagement, Colonel, while
brayely leading ON his men, received q
terrible blow in the head from the frag-
ment of a shell, which completely ex-
posed the brain. He was carried to the
rear, and intrusted to the care of sur
geon, who at once resolved upon heroic
treatment, and removed the brain bodily
to repair the decorations. While he was
absorbed in this delicate operation, an
aide-de-camp, unconscious of the sever
ity of the officers wound. rode up with a
message that Colonel Blank was wanted
Immediately at headquarters. Mechan-
ically, like the brainless pigeon in the
interesting surgical experiment, the gall
liant officer clambered into the saddle
and rode away; and when the surgeon,
having completed the .rearrangement of
the wounded organ, returned to place it
in position, he was astonished to find
the patient missing. AT that moment
his attention was attracted by the sound
of galloping hoofs, and looking round,
his surprise was intensified on beholding
the Colonel ride to the front as gayly as
if nothing had happened.
"Hi, Coloneli no, Coloneln shouted
the surgeon, pursuing him. "Stop.
You're forgetting about your brains!"
"Never mind about them," roared
the hero, clapping spurs to his horse.

They will be able to zee the difference between

touch will be revealed through interpreia-

accomplish good work is as exquisite a
pleasure as the enjoyment Of il. Some
OF the numbers on the programme are
as ambitious as any society might attempt,
