asked, "where are the Southern out

moment What leads to this INQUIRY Il
the fact that more than two months has
elapsed since an election was held only
second in importance to Presidential
election, and yet from all the vast terri
tory not single vail of Southern out
rage" has Como up 1t is well known
fact to all intelligent people that the
Republican party in the South has ex-
| isted since the war only by creating
strife and attempting to array the coli
ored race solidly against the whites.
This succeeded for the time. being fed
by all the vituperation that men infa-
nous in infamy could concoct to widen
the breach. A "Southern outrage
was sweet morsel to roll under their
unhallowed tongues 1t was insisted
upon by carpet baggers and scallawags
that the colOred voters of the South
were intimidated and bulldokcd until
there was no chance for them to excr-
cisethc franchise given them under the
law. The people OF the South know
that OF all classes the colorod voter votes
earlier and oftener than any other. He
has never been deprived 81 the privilege
of the ballot box. and OF sall others he
uses 1t the most freely. But, Is we hare

outrage has been reported, this too, with
the mail and telegraph lines opeR to all

holders. black and white From, one end

been told SO to have known that an

therefore the irresistible conclusion is
that the negroes were not disturbed to
any visible extent in the recent exercise
of the right of suffrage. else We should
most assuredly have heard of it through
the usual Republican channels.
The last election developed the fact
that the negroes of the South have
grown tired Of being the slaves of North
ern Republicans. and have thrown of
the snaekles which robbed them OF their
hoerties' They felt that IN large de-

slavery to the Republican party, but

tacy na0 long nelu the party together,
but 1t was dead in its trespasses, and no
hand could save it. The Republicans
talk about gathering new lie from the
plumbers and mistakes Of the Democ-
racy; but this ammunition has been
used too often to be any longer availa-
bic. 1t Is not safe to count on extensive
Democratic laundering, and no amount
OF it would reconcile the Republican

their leaders. These leaders, no doubt.
are quite ready to change their base since
the late elections. They are prepared
to make any required professions Of po-
iitical righteousness; but they have
sinned 20 long that no death-bed re-
pentance will now be accepted. We
do not say that the Republicans who
have deserted the old banner are con-

Rebellion and freed the slaves, but they
no longer consider this a sufficient rea-

honor the old party itself for having

Saddlehack Farm.

a few days ago, it was my great pleasure
to visit the extensive stock farm, owned by
Oresteo Pierce Esq. of East Baldwin Me:
The cleanliness and orderly manner in
which the barn is kept together with the
method of ventilation are of the fiuest order.
1t plainly showed that the greatest care and
attention are paid to all the surroundings
Upon one side of the large barn stands
long row of cattle contentedly munching
their food and switching thei: tails, as re-
CARELESS of their immense value, and as
modest, as though they cost their owner
small sum, instead of the hundreds and even
thousands of dollars per head. Let me add
right here; l have visited stock farms all
over the country, here, there, and every
where; but never have seen handsomer
herd of cattle, or more pure JERSEY blood
displayed in one barn than in that owned
by Mr.. Pierce.
Mr.. Pierce is gentleman of great refine
ment and highly cultivated tastes, as his
home plainly testifes He has surrounded
himself with all the Injuries and comforts
OF life; and it is great privilege to pass
few hours at both his house and barn. to be
shown about by his amiable foreman, Mr..
Chadbourne, and chat with the courteous
gentleman the owner
Altogether l came away very fayorably
impressed with what l had seen regarding
stock. Anu L would advise all who are
DESTROYS of securing pure royal blooded
animals, to take trip up to Saddleback
Farm, where they will have every attention
paid them by the well bred host.

Prince Alfred.
Queen victoria's Morose and Unpopular
Son.
Philadelphia Press. I


Prince Alfred, duke of Edinburgh, has
gone over to Berlin to help celebrate the
wedding of his big brother-in-law, Fritz,
heir to the crown of Prussia and empire
of Germany Prince Alfred is the only one
of Victoria's children who is cordially hat
ed. That he is detested with a good, down
right detestation you don't have to be long
in England, or any of the colonies where
this sullen and selfish martinez is known, to
find out. He is disliked, first, because his
faults are all un-English faults. The prince
OF Wales is nothing but faults, yet he is
adored. The prince at Oxford was charm
ing fellow. OF course don't mean he was
democrat and hail-fellow- well-met with
everybody in the town. But he was
loyal "chum," took his share of hard
knocks and told his fables to the proctors
with all the address of Bailey's "Bad Boy."
He was always in debt, but his money went
for his cronies as well as himself. He Dor
rowed, but he always paid, and he was al
ways known to help fellows out of scrapes
when the college dons and home authorities
got on the scent of youthful peccadilloes.
Alfred, however, was Stunned and detested
at college, in the clubs, in the navy and at
court. He has all the parsimonious
meanness of his ancestors-the ignorant
Guelph beggars that England allowed to be
their kings, for fear of restoration of the
hapless and merry Stuarts. At college he
never spent cent on any one but himself
His tastes were the unrefned, brutal tastes
that Walpole loathed in George III. MANY
night, lad of nineteen, Alfred sat in his
gloomy chambers in Oxford swilling beer,
while his companions were all on the Isis
He has the dolt look of the earlier breed of
the house of Hanover, and if he ever came
TO the throne he would do his best to imi-
tate the pig-headed and arbitrary course of
his ancestor, George III. If the prince of
Wales is seen anywhere there is an instant
clamor of cheers. If Alfred is seen. people
stare at him curiously, but pay him no more
than perfunctory Difference. Berlin, with
its coarse galantries, its barrack air and
military preciseness, pleases him. He al
ways goes over there with delight, while to
the merry prince of Wales, perfect Stuart,
the tour is crucifxion. He hates his POM
pous kinsfolks-always excepting his sister,
the Princess Victoria, Fritz's wife.
Victoria's quarrels with her brother
Alfred kept the palace in an uproar
She is older than he, and there are tradi-
tons of hair pulling of anything but
princely sort when the young woman got
the temper of the Guelphs up. Both being
now mature, Victoria a grandmother and
Alfred father, they get on more amicably
and decorously.

In Lunher Camp in Winter.

LII 1uup0r camp IN winter.
The men who cut and haul lumber are fear
fully exposed in severe weather, and, although
hardy and rugged, are sometimes laid aside
from duty. Mr.. Randall, of Augusta, Maine,
who is extensively engaged iu the numbering
business, writes that one of his men was at
tackled with terrible sore throat, SO that they
thought he would die, They administered
PERRY DAvIs's PAIN KILLER, both internal

was relieved, and the next day he was at work
as usual.
Clarence Fitz-Herbert sends us a beautiful
poem, beginning, 81 will wait for my love at
