KISSED THE WRONG GlRI.--On one
of the seats in railway train was q
married lady with little daughter;
opposite, facing them, was another
child, son, and a oolored lady and a
baby. The mother Of these children
was q beautiful matron with spark
ling eyes, exuberant health and viva
cious spirits. Near her sat young
lieutenant, dressed to kill, and seek
ling a victim.
BY and by the train approached q
tunnel. The lieutenant leaned over

Into the earth's bowels into the

colored nurse quickly changed seats;
gay lieutenant threw his arms around
the lady sable, pressed her cheek TO
his, aud fast and furiously rained
kisses on her lips. In few minutes
the train came out into broad daylight.
White lady looked amazed; oolored

ST. LIMOGES, May "A, 1854.
"Hello, Jimmy how's yer conduct?
Come in and give the Internal Reye-
nue. "a boost, is a Montana salutation
that will not be used in st. Mary
county next Christmas twelve months
to come if Local Option should be car
ried on the 10th day Of next August.
But that is the question--if it is car
ried. There is a particular friend of
ours who had undertaken to ship a
fatted OK by the Excelsior twice, and
failed both times; so the third time
the OK was brought to the wharf the
shipping clerk reported to the cap
tain that the OK WAS there again. The
captain said he would not take him,
hadn't time. Some one halloed to the
captain from the wharf to please take
him-that he was Local Option OK
and the only one in the district. He
Immediately ordered another board to
be put out, and TIE OK was taken off,
the owner also, and no doubt has suf-
fered by this time the same fate that
Local Option will suffer on the 10th
day of August next in st. Marys
county. Let me say to you, Messrs
Editors, on the day of election, in this
district, the Local Optionists will
make an appearance such as a Min
strel Troupe would make to an over
crowded house. | don't know wheth-
er they will be as amusing or not. |
don't think they will though. And
when this district puts her shoulder
to the wheel they will be very apt
To put down the pen and ink
To get pass TO get drink.
The colored people say they had TO do
that in the days past, but when Abe
Lincoln issued his proclamation Of
freedom that was included, and the
whites say they don't want to begin
where the colored people stopped at.
But in case it should become a law,
and there being some physicians in this
county that am particular fond Of,
| have written convenient prescrip-
ton they can use if they should think
fit. | won't say it is original. 1t is
as follows:
RECIPE, SpT's FRUMEHTI, Q. s.
Please give the bearer the Unnamed polation;
He's pretty good chap though humble his
station.

1t is simply this-give BIN all he can pay for.

A Colored Dramatic Festival.

Springfield, Ohio, March 27.-
What will probably be the most
unique entertainment which has ever
taken place in Ohio will be held in
this city in the near future, lasting
four nights, at Blacks Opera House.
1t will be dramatic colored festival,
in which the leading colored dramatic
talent of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Day
ton, Springfield and other cities will
participate and concentrate their
abilities to produce four plays-Lady
of Lyons, Hamlet. Othello and Ro-
meo and Juliet. A well known
young colored elocutionist of Cincin-
natl will appear as Juliet, and well
known colored gentleman of CiDcin-
natl as Othello. This is believed to
be the first case on record of the pro-
duction of these plays with an entire
colored cast.

TIE NEW YORK SUN,
For 1884 !!

About sixty million copies of The Sun
have gone out Of our establishment during
the past twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the
columns of all THE Suns printed and sold
last year you would get a continuous strip
Of interesting infor nation, common sense
wisdom, sound doctrine, and sane wit long
enough to reach from Printing House
square to the top of Mou-t OoperRicus in
the moon, then back to Printing House
square, and then three-quarters of the way
back to the moon again.
But THE Sun is written for the inhabi
tants of the earth; this same strip of intel
l;gence would girdle the globe twenty sew
en- or twenty eight times.
If every buyer of copy of THE Sun dur
ing the past year has spent only one hour
over it, and if his wife or his grandfather
has spent another hour, this newspaper in
1888 khas afforded the human race thirteen
thousand years of steady reading, night
and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these
that You can form any idea of the circula-
ton of the most popular of American news
papers, or of its influence on the op inions
and actions Of American men and women.
The SUN is, and will continue to be, a
newspaper Wnlcn tells the truth without
fear of consequences, which gets at the
facts no matter how much the process costs
which presen the news of all the world
without waste of words and in the most
readable shape, which is working with all
its heart for the cause of honest govern
ment, and which therefore believes that
the Republican party must tgo. and must
go III this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
If you know THE sun, you like it already,
and you will read it with accustomed dill
igence and profit during what is sure to be
the most interesting year in its history. l
you do not yet know The Sun, it is high
time to get into the sunshine

A COlOred Painter.
Iii. o. Tanners Picture of the Wound
ed Elk and the Wolves.
Secretary.

ed Elk and the Wolves.
From the Philadelphia Press.
There is a picture that is attracting con-
siderable attention at Hazeltine's gallery,
on Chestnut ST., above Fifteenth. 1t is Of
an elk in a Western canyon, surrounded by
pack of gray wolves. The noble beast has
been wounded in the side. and his life's
blood is staining the drifting snow, into
which he has sunk; but he is game to the
end, and makes savage lunges with his
huge horns at the yelping wolves. The
painting is attracting attention, not only
for its real merit, but for the fact that it
was painted by young colored man, a
student at the Academy of the Fine Arts.
1t is a known f.ct that the race has not TAX
en-, in any considerable degree, to this art.
During the past seven years there have been
but four colored people at the Academy.
The Artist is III. o. Tanner, quadron "a
years old and the son of the editor of. the
Christian Recorder, published by the A. M
E. Church. Though in poor health, the
ambitious young man has painted for FIVE
years. spending a great deal Of his time in
the Park. This picture be studied and
modelled in the biological Garden, where
there are excellent specimens of elk and
wolves. 1t is his ambition, and he thinks
his forte, to become an animal painter, and
he is certainly making good progress. This
picture has received many favorable crit
icisms from prominent artists. Mr.. Tan
