Neerer and neerer came the ship and

Another five minutes and the landin

In spite Nv all the female Good do, they
emerged from their hidin places anu
surrounded her. Secession thrOwed off
her cloak and stood in her own proper
person. Slavery waved her shot gun de-
family and Tammany fiocked out under
the leadership of John Kelly, while Sam
Randall and Morrison clinched each
other by the throat and rolled on the
sand in deadly struggle.
Damnashen!" shreeked Dimocrisy,
" yoo've spilled everything 10y showing

she cri ed aloud to the men on the ship
-" Come and save me save me I

l observed comoshum on the deck
NV the ship, and Their wuZ q hurried

Massachusetts, remarkt that they wuz
willin enuff to help to reskoo Dimoc-
risy, pure and simple, but they'd be

Then the rest NV EN- holdin their
noses with great yoonanimity, remarkt
they wuzn't accustomed to that sort NV
thing, and it was rather late In life to
commence.
They put the ship about, and clappin
on all the sale she Good bear sailed away
back to whence she came.
l amt jist shoor wat became Nv Cur

ship changed her cOnrse they made a
sort of raft NV Harper's Weekly,
jumped overheard, and attempted to
swim to the rock, but was ignominyusly
drowned. Anyhow they disappeared
from mortal gaze.
And Dimocrasy wept, and walled,
and tore her hair, and when / awoke
the Whole party wuz in a general skrim-

the rest wuz a skrimmagin over suthin

The name NV Dimocrisy ia a power il

We have good men enuf, in spots, and

You can't berry past nor git rid NV
a record. The people want reform bad
enuff, but somehow they don't seem in
clined to trust the work of publication
to the hands NV . half hundred Nv Moo
York ward politishuns, nor the flag NV

git rid NV itself. Ell We Good only hav a
