GENERAL MAHoNE removed the old and
efficient physicians and nurses of the insane
asylums and replaced them with new and
inexperienced men whose qualification con-
sisted in the single fact that they were his
followers. He displaced the Superinten-
dent Of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum and
filled the vacancy with one Of his supporters
who did not even understand thr language
used by the inmates of that institution. He
now threatens the removal of the whole
faculty of the Medical College of Virginia.
AS the negroes constitute his whole eflcc-
tive strength, and as there are enough ne
gro doctors in the State to fill all the chairs
in the college, he may possibly intend to
essay another desperate effort to make him.
self solid with the negro voters by creating a
negro faculty Of the college, or by appoint
ing negroes to some of the profcssorships he
threatens to declare vacant and thus again
to advance his own selfish interests at the
expense Of his State to ruin the College in
order to gain negro votes. Mahone's sway

patronage can well attempt and accomplish

Years ago, into a wholesale grocery store
walked a tall, muscular man, evidently a
fresh conner from some back woods town in
Maine or New Hampshire. Accostng the
first person he met, who happened TO be the

You don't want to hire man in Your
store do you -
Well said the merchant, II don't know.
What can you do -
"Do2' SAID the man, "l rather guess | can
turn my hand to almost anything. " hat
do YOU want done -
well, If was to hire a man it would be
one that could lift, well. a strong, wiry fell
low one, for instance, that could lift sack
Of coffee like that yonder aud carry it across
the store and never lay 1t down"
There, now, cap'n, SAID the countryman,
"that's Just me. | can lift anything | can
hitch to. You can't suit me better. What
will YOU give a man that suits you ?"
IN tell you," said the merchant, 'if you
shoulder that sack of coffee and carry it
across the store twice and never lay it down,
| will hire you for one year at 800 a
month"
Done" said the stranger.
By this time every clerk in the store had
gathered around and was waiting to Join in
the laugh against the man, who threw the
sack across his shoulders with perfect ease,
and carrying it twice across the floor, went
to a large hook which was fastened to the
wall and hung it up, then turned to the
merchant and said -
There, now, it may hang there till
dooms-day. | shall never lay it down.
What shall | 90 about mister Just give
me plenty to do and 500 dollars a month
