Correspondence OF the Democrat.
| Now it came to pass in the sixth
month and twentieth day thereof, and
in the first year of the order of the u.
of +. that they came forth from the
four winds of the land Of Pope and as
sembled themselves together at Mt.
Enon. And Immediately Tertullus arose
and said: With much Joy do rejoice
and am exceeding glad, for have la
bored and toiled for these four and
twenty years to see this day and to
know that in so short a time thou hast
made me Ruler over all the B. of +. in
the goodiy land of Pope; therefore do
| feel very much enlarged and pulled up
| like unto man devouIing dried apples
for a week and drinking warm water
for time. And in the greatness Of his
majesty he looked down upon the
| Ephraimites and round about for Chal-
dean spies, and looking steadfastly he
beheld a Crow of the tribe Of the Chal-
deans and he said unto him: Thou art
now pecking at our order. Make haste
and come thou and thy brethren from
the high position that thou art unwor-
| thy to hold and he led out with a loud
voice and said unto the Ephraimites
| Men and Brethren come up higher and
| sit thou here by me in good place, and
| it was done, even rs he commanded.
And he said unto the multitude: j
think myself happy in this my first Of
| flee for l am permitted to speak for my
self and declare unto you chat this is
the Lodge for which all other Lodges
were made in the land of Pope, and as
we are about to reform this government
of America thou shalt chose this day
whom We will have to rule over al the
land OF Pope, and also those that sit
upon throne to judge thy people, and
the wise man said 1.-THE Lord grant il"
and they all said, Amen. Amen! And
they drew line between King James
and King Charles. Now it came to
pass that there were more Ephraimites
with King James than there were
greenbackcrs with King Charles. And
painful silence fell upon them all and
ga still small voice" was heard to say
"James is the man." and with one
united voice they proclaimed him King.
And Immediately the mantle OF the
Chaldeans fell from about him, and
James was very humble, and they with
one accord laid hands upon him, and
they put gorgeous robe upon him and
crowned him with the honors Of the b.

right hand, even the declaration of
principles of the B. of F., at the bottom
Of which is written in letters of gold
the familiar name of Jonathan. And
in his left hand they placed the thun-
derbolts of the order, even the consti-
tuition and bylaws of the b. of f. And
the King stood up in the midst of them
and Tertullus, the governor, said: Be-
hold your Zebra how beautiful are his
feet; how conspicuous are his ears, and
how prominent his forehead. What
think We OF him? VIII he be able to
withstand Ur (thc democratic nominee),
the leader Of the Chaldeans with all his
hosts? And the King looked pale and
thoughtful and sat down.
And the wise man of the East spoke
unto them after this manner: IL becon-
eth us this day TO be wise rs serpents
and harmless as doves. For dost thou
not see one of the scribes of the Chalde-
an sheet, and behold he Is now record
ing all that thou sayest and all that
thou hast done. And as he spake these
words there cometh humpbacked Ru-
Ter from the hill country, whose dwell
ing place Is among the tall evergreens
in the province of Martin, whose name
is James the Less, but thou shalt call
his name Nebuchadnezzar for he is a
mighty man in his own province, and
behold how appropriate his name, when
translated by the natives reads thus:
''Nebo Is the protector against misfor-
tune" And he arose In the midst OF
the multitude and began to speak unto
the people concerning the Chaldeans
and their manner oftreatmentunto him
self. the Ephraimites and the b. of F.
And they said, say on And as he began
to speak he waxed hot aud fire proceeded
out OF his mouth and smoke came forth
from his nostrils, aud he spake many
burning words against the Chaldeans.
Behold how they have treated me? l
have been a democrat from nv youth
up, yet would they not let me be their
Judge. Yet have long desired to sit
upon the throne OF Pope and judge this
people. And thou knowest that | love
thee more than In former year-yea,
love thee well. For have just ex-
pIored all the valley OF Gumlog and the
plains of Lee and Wilson. Now IL came
to pass while | explored the land, the
Chaldeans cried unto one Pat OF Atkins
TO come forth and do battle for them
and when | heard of this saying my
democratic spirit died within me, and
how | know of a surety that thou art
my nearest, dearest and best friend.
Therefore beg thee to give me the
nomination Tor county judge, and If
thou wilt do this thing for me. then
will 81 warm them (the Chaldeaus) up
on the canvass and on the day Of
the election will set them on fire. y
Yea will | utterly destroy
them and they shall be consumed be-
fore thine eyes. Now, the thing great
ly pleased them and with one accord
they gave him the desire OF his heart,
amidst applause and much rejoicing
and stamping of feet. And Tertullus
said, ''eome to time but they came
not for time.
Now these and many other things
were done at the great SanhedrIm, Ii
they were all written ! suppose that
the whole paper, nor even thy sanctum
