One of the most amusing features of the
Forepaugh parade Saturday was the eharae-
terstic representation of gentleman from
.Wavback'' given by one of the clowns
He was dressed in the style of Uncle Josh
Whitcomb and drove bony nag whom he
called Phillip. He wore specs Had a
home made whip with goard stick handle
and ate peanuts with astonishing rapidity-
Especislly was he in his glory when he dis
covered an elderly gentleman from outside
who had Just arrived in the city with large
number of pond lilies to sell. The dialogue
that ensued was extremely amusing and on
the part of the pond lily man at least was
carried on in good faith. 'Uncle Josh ex-
pressed the opinion that his neighbor must be
making ''piles of money selling them lines
and that he must have turned out bright
and ally" to ''got 'em all" So clever was
the make up of Uncle Josh that it is safe to
say very few people in the crowd 'tumbled
to the fact that he was an attache of the cir

enough TO htll Him.
Augusta and Belinda were walking DER the lea
They were just full of happiness as ever they
could be
They loved to see the budding trees, the cuckoos
on the wing.
And all the other usual accessories of spring
But while the lad and maiden were a walking DER
the lea
Athwart the damsefs face there swept wave OF,
ecstasy,
While the gallant's physiognomy assumed look
of woe
That argued his reception of a somewhat heavy
blow.
For there came toward them, promenading gayly

couple that were wonderful and fearful for to
see
And it thrilled the maid, but gave the lad mighty
sickly turn,
To meet that soda faucet and their deadly ice

Searched for four leaf clover

Beneath the sky SO blue,
She found four leaf clover
And put it in her shoe.
For" said she, Il shall marry

While walking in the meadow
With clover in my shoe"
Then to her neighbor's farmhouse
She let her fancy run;
You see this next door neighbor
Had a very handsome son.
And then she blushed and started,
For, down the shaded way,
figure tall and comedy
Across her vision lay.
''Oh little four leaf clover

Let those who will be scornful-
know you've told me true"
With beating heart she waited
Till the figure came that way,
Then, looking up, said sweetly:

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.


the committee of management for
the Fourth of July, or any other
committee, managing for any similar
occasion, should provide the public
with free food.
1t was certainly generous on the
part of the committee acting for the
American citizens on Wednesday
last, to make provision for the
stomachic requirements of every
body, and then offer the entire COM
munity free feed. The same may
be said of the British people who
did similar thing on the occasion
of Queen Victoria S Jubilee, u little
more than year ago.
The last mentioned occasion is
still fresh in the memory of some of
us, who well remember how a crowd
of persons, neither British subjects
nor the descendants of British sub
jects, rushed upon the supplies, ,at the
first opportunity, with the ravenous-
ness of wolves, grabbed everything
they could lay hands upon, and in
few minutes devastated the entire re-
freshment stand. Later on, the
wasted fragments scattered over the
grounds were sufficient to feed a
regiment of soldiers.
AT the Fourth of July celebration,
on Wednesday, the same class of
people, neither Americans nor their
most distant cousins, formed q bar
rier around the refrcshment tables,
nearly as hard TO break through as
Wellington's squares at the battle of
Waterloo, and bagged everything
that came within reach of their fin
gers. Modest and well behaved
people had no chance of getting any
refreshment whatever.
Now, is it the duty of the United
States, or the British Empire, or
any other nation whatsoever, thus to
provide on special national occasions
for people domicled in this king
dom, who may deem 1t a judicious
act on their part to prepare them
selves for free feed by a week S
voluntary starvation, and who may
consider it wise forethought to i'm
prove the opportunity by laying in
a stock of the nccessaries of life
for the following year? We hardly
think so.
Would it not be as well to dis
pense with the free feed" in future,
as the people for whom it is intended
get no benefit from it, and give per
mission to persons in that line of
business to sell refreshments on the
grounds; so that peaceable people,
who have natural aversion to fight
ing their way through phalanx OF
uncultured humanity, may have the
opportunity of satisfying, at theil
own expense, appetitcs sharpened by
fresh air and exercise? This sug.
gestion is respectfully submitted fol
future consideration.

SECRET BALLOTS.

Mr.. EDITOR In South Carolina,
and in most of the states and terri
tories of the United States, every
voter is allowed by law, to vote so
that no other person can know for
whom he votes, unless the voter
chooses to make it known; and
when voter there does not desire
anybody else to know how, or for
whom he votes, he may, and gene
rally docs, write the name of the
person for whom he intends to vote
on small piece of paper and puts
it in his pocket before he leaves
home, and before he gets to the
polls, he folds il up, Or twists it up
So that no name can be seen, and
then puts it into the ballot box and
no questions are allowed to be
asked, and the ballot so deposited
remains in the ballot box and at the
close Of the polls, the box is sealed
up and kept sealed by the managers
Of the election, until the counting of
the votes, and upon the counting,
the paper is unfolded, and if more
than one name, or more names than
are to be elected, are found in the
paper so folded or twisted, all the
names are rejected, and if but one
name is in the paper, that one is
counted, no matter whether it is fic-
titions, or the name of a person
who is candidate or not and this
moduS operandi is most simple,
and leaves no opportunity or tempt
alton for bribery, or corruption in
the election. Nj. THOMSON.
