the prOhibIt election last week s'rues-
day brought forth a pageant worthy OF
November, 1864, when the bummers OF
Sherman defed decency aud law. The
fires OF MOlOck blazed anew in the vale of
Ben HinnOn. The soggy meat OF last
Saturday crept out Of the cellars and
sought the pit again. The craving stom-
achs that had struggled through Satur-
days rain yearned again over the sodden
flesh. The election being over, very few
allies attended, One, Henry Kreutz. on
horseback, cheered the animals along,
with presence and voice, as they yelled
from the mansion 10 the river, "DOwn
with the whites" "Nigger on top now"
with many other insOlent and innamma-
tory words and gestures. Two thousand
men and women prolonged the sickening
carnival through the day. and a remnant
made night hideous at kreutz's saloon,
where that distinguished anti counseled

The Sham and fhe Real.

Every good thing has its host of imita-
tors; every genuine article its counter
ieits. Bad manners and wicked habits
have theirs also; but he who shams the bad
never boasts of 1t, while they who ape the
virtues of the good or simulate the genuine
never hesitate to place the counterfeit be-
fore the public in their most alluring
.tenes. When these people initiate they
always choose pronounced type or popu-
lar subject to copy from; and when they
claim to be as good as $50 and-so," or TO
sell an article equal to ''So-and-sO. the
public may depend upon it that Mr.. $50
and-so" and his article are always the
best of the kind. Thus the sham is always
proving the genuine merit Of the thing it
copies.
A firm of enterprising gentlemen pro-
duce and popularfze an article of house,
hold use, such as the Royal Baking Pow
der, whose convenience, usefulness, and
real merit make for itself an immense and
universal sale. A hundred imitators
arise on every hand, and as they hold out
their sham articles TO the public, yelp in
chorus, Buy this; it's just az good as
Royal, and much cheaperp' The ROYAL
Baking Powder is the standard the world
over, and its fmitatO-s IN their cry that
theirs is ''as good as RoyaP' are all the
time emphasizing this fact. In their la
borous attempts to show by analysis and
otherwise that the "SnOwball' brand has
as much raising power las the ROyal:'7 or
that the "ResurrectiOn" powder is as
Wholesome "as R0yal;7 or that the Earth
quake" brand is ''as pure as the Royal"
rs we'll as by their cont0Ttive twistings of

lection, which it is their highest am

tween the real and these limitations, which
copy only its general appearance, is AS
wide as that between the paste and the

Mr.. L. b. POhl thinks if a man wants
to turn gray and get a through ticket
on the shortest route to the asylum or

invent something. He tells us of mar
row escape he had once. While living in
Charleston several years since he was
struck with the Inconvenience and eX-
pense the railroads experienced in keep
ing their tanks filed with water. He
took mp the idea that he could invent
"a machine that would generate its own
power and fill the lOng-felt want of the
RAILROADS. The more he thought about it
fthe brighter and more feasible
the idea became. So one day
he told his copartner in bus
Iiness what'h had been thinking about.
His partner atsODce took to the idea. The
two communicated their plans to third
gentleman, aud he became so deeply in
/ terested that company of three was at
HOnce tOrmedand preparations for the con-
stTuctl0n OF the machine were begun.
Every spare hour in the day was spent in
the workshop, and the dead hours OF night
witnessed three determined men hammer
ing away as though their lives depended
ON their blows. After several weeks of
hard work the last nail was driven home
and the machine pronounced fin
ished. Then came the test. Three
men with pale cheeks and PFOtrud-
ing eyeballs bent eagerly forward
TO watch the result. A tremulOus hand
was placed upon the lever and, in re-
Spouse 10 the touch. the machinery began
