CARD.

To the Democracy of Montgomery county
Having been candidate for the Leg
islature in the late primary election,
and it having been declared, as l think,
by competent Democratic authority,
that my opponent is the nominee, by a
small majority, l abide the result and
will cheerfully vote for him in Novem-
Der.
There has been much complaint of an
unfair election, and while l feel that if
it had been perfectly fair, at all the
boxes, the result would have been differ,
ent, yet as a Democrat who has always
endeavored to be true to the party, and
not wishing any one to imagine for a
moment that l would not recognise its
authority, l have written this card.
Returning my sincere thanks to my
friends who so zealously supported me
and to all the people of the county who
extended their cordial hospitality and
uniform courtesy, during my canvass
through the county, will close with
the wish that perfect harmony may pre-
vail in the Democratic ranks, and that
you may all Give long and prosper"
Very truly,
r F .JONFe

says, like Mr.. Toots, sits of no conse-

ingless "platitude." In the political
vocabulary, a "platitude" is something
that signifies nothing, but is intended
to fool somebody. A tub to the pop
ular whale. This is an unjust accusa-
ton against the Democratic party. 1t

Examiner got in ahead of the Herald

The CLARION has had long ex-
perience in party organization, and it
would not surely at this late day en-
courage the efforts of those who would
gladly exchange an organization in which
they have failed to climb to the top for
one in which they would be the most
conspicuous fgures.-Natchez Demo
crat.
Thank you, neighbor, for your consid-
crate advice. The CLARION was born
and baptised in the Democratic party
long before you made your debut on the
stage of journalism, nearly half cen
fury ago. The principles of the Demo
cratic party were promulgated by ,Jeffer-
son at the beginning of the government;
and illustrated by Jackson and Polk
and Pierce and Buchanan, and would
have had glorious expounder in Til
den if the people had not been robbed
of their choice in 1880. Talk about any
other party! Who would abandon a
vessel that had weathered ten thousand
storms, and having escaped shipwreck in
spite of them all, is moving CALAMITY
into port.
As for the Changers, YOU need not be
afraid of them. Their objects are not
partizan. They could not take the place
of the Democratic party Ito which most
of them belongl if they would, and
would not if they could.

THY NAME.

1 told the rose thy name-it blushed and
stirred;
It's petals trembled as In ecstacy,
cried thy name aloud-and 10 the bird
Burst into song within the thick-leaved
tree.
Ispake it when the moon was gray and cold,
And straight from out his east upshot the
spake it to the night-the clouds that rolled
Above dispersed, the stars came one by
one.
Should any whisper it when on my face
The black earth lies, calm sleeping under
ground,
l think my heart would beat apace,
And that my lips would tremble at the
sound.
And If before the gates Of heaven 1 came,
And could for my own worth no entrance
win,
think that then If should name thy name
The eternal doors would stir and let me in.

THE OLD STORY.
BY MARY r. TUCKER.

Alas for the head with the crown Of gold
The tempter came as he came of old.
Alas for the heart that was glad and light!
Alas for the soul that was pure and white
Censure who may-condemn who must;
1t was perfect faith-it was utter trust
That asked her promise; nor pledge nor
sign,
He was hers-she was his by law divine.
He was lifted up; he was set apart;
He filed her thought; he filled her heart;
She called him great; she believed him
true,
AS women will, as women do!
Oh, to betray such tender trust!
(God will repay, and He is JUST
Through wrong and i'll she loves him still,
AS women do, as women will.

Witchcraft in Prussia.

LONDON Times.
The Berlin Vossische Zeitung reports
a case of popular superstition which
wouldIbe almost incredible were it not
confirmed by judicial investigation.
In the village of Schonbeck, in the
province of West Prussia, the little
daughter of a cabinet-maker has been
bedridden for three years. The father
became persuaded that his daughter
was bewitched by a woman who had
given her occasionally apples and
pears. He was advised that the patient
would be cured if she drank some of
the blood of the supposed witch. The
poor woman was entrapped into visiting
a place where some of the chief men of
the commune were assembled to re-
ce've her. She was seized, one of her
fingers pricked with q needle, and the
blood given to the sick child. The
superstitious or malignant participators
in this outrage were summoned before
a police magistrate, who contented HIM
self with sentencing them to imprison-
ment.
