THAT baby has been here a dozen
times already this month. There's more
money in him than in John L.. Sullivan,
said a policeman in the Tombs police
court this morning.

dressed in white. Itcooed and spluttered
in tho arms of female prisoner ar
raigned before the court to answer
charge of intoxication and disorderly
conduct-evidently a victim Of liquor
and evil associates. She fondled the lit
tie baby with mothers love and begged
the Judge to give her one more chance,
"iust for baby's sake" The scheme
worked, and the prisoner was discharged.
Once outside the court room she ceased
fondling the infant, told it to ''shut its
mouth and finging it into the arms OF
another besotted wretch worse than her.
self, hurried away. The scene was wit
messed by Telegram reporter, and led
to inquiries regarding the remark Of the
policeman as TO the number Of times the
baby had appeared in court. He said:

THE CLEVELAND Plain Dealer So

THE Cleveland Plain Dealer says
"the Republicans of the United
States owe their success TO bargain
with the most disreputable and cor
rupt set of scoundrels of the Dem
ocratic party of the city of New York,
who for a few petty municipal offices
have sacrificed and thwarted the
wishes of 100000 of their Fellow
Democrats of the country. The vii
lains who sold themselves to the
emisaries of Matt Quay should be tied
to posts and dashed by every honest
man in the United States"

The trouble between Senator
Blackburn and Judge Rucker is con-
stantly growing more serious, and
it looks now as if there would GER
tainly be fight before the matter is
adjusted. Judge Rucker has left the
matter with Col. John G. Moore,
who has figured in several duels, in
two of which one of the principles
was killed. Moore has sent letter
containing a challenge to the Senator
and there will be lively times for the
next few days.

BY reference to our dispatches 1t
will be seen that the Republicans are
becoming desperate in their attempts
to carry West Virginia, and threaten
m mt Golf in Governor anyhow.
Talk about the bulldozing tactics OF
the South, they are nowhere, if what
the dispatches say is true. In Missis-
sippi the Republicans are making ar
on~ements to contest the election in
the Second, Third and Seventh Dis
tricts, and if the House is Republican,
thew will be likely to succeed.

Ladies of rank are accompanied, in
paying visits, by a troop of armed slaves,
who look more martial than they really
are. These attendants are very expen-
sive, as their weapons, with the excep-
ton of musket and revolver, are always
very costly and richly inlaid with gold
and silver. AS the calls are generally
made in the evening, lanterns of great
luxury and many colors are used. A
lady Of rank always has two or three
such lanterns carried before her, and it
REQUIRES very strong slaves for that.
When a lady starts to pay q call the van
guard of the procession is headed by
some ten or twenty armed fellows, two
or three in line, carrying lanterns; the
mistress, with an Arab companion, fol-
lows. and q number of web dressed
slaves close the procession. The slaves
turn all the people out Of the way, and
the latter take refuge in the by streets
and the open doorways. OF

All the snakes of the Dismal swamp
are shy and timid. Very rarely do they
bite, and then only when driven by fear.
The largest snake in the swamp is the
king snake, which grows to be ten feet
in length. The rattlesnake is fortunately
rare in the swamp. 1t is mostly seen
near the feeder, and is the diamond or
water rattlesnake, the largest and most
sullenly ferocious of its dread family. 1t
has brown back and dirty yellowish
belly. A ''swamper' said he had seen
one this year that was eight feet long.
The most dangerous snake in the
swamp is one of the smallest, called the
poplar snake. He is about twelve inches
in length, green in color, like that of the
poplar tree in which he lives. We es-
capped him most fortunately, for before
we heard of him we had defowered
many poplars of their beautiful blossoms.
This snake is direful pest; from his
size and color he is not easily seen, and
his poison is said to resemble the rattle
snakes.
The water moccasin is n venomous
snake, and it is surprising, considering
his countless presence in the swamp, that
so few people are bitten. This reptile lit
orally infests all quarters of the swamp.
Other snakes, more or less numerous,
are the black snake sometimes nine feet
long,, the horned snake and the jointed
snake. Abeham and Jim said that they
had often killed this latter questionable
reptile, and that it had ''broken into
nieces about two and half inches long,

for a reform that is bound to come
sooner or later. The Republicans
falsified our position on the tariff,
raised the old free trade cry, and
magnifed their own superior patriot
ism by charging the Democracy with
dlsloyalty.
Fellow Democrats there is nothing
so thoroughly settles fact like ex-
perience and comparisons. Let us be
content to wait and see. We were
in the right and time will vindicate
our position. Principle suffers no
loss by defeat. The triumph of right
may be delayed but it will and must
win in the end.

A GalIop over the PIalns.

NY husbands horse had almost human
ways of talking with him, as he leaned
far out Of the saddle and laid his face on
the gallant animals head, and there was
a CLEAN in the eye, proud little toss Of
the head, speaking back whole world
of affection. The general could ride
hanging quite out of sight from the OPP
posite side, one foot caught in the STIR
rup, his hand on the name; and it made
no difference to his beloved friend, he
took any mode that his master chose to
cling to him as a matter of course, and
curveted and pranced in the loftiest,
proudest way. His manner as plainly
said as speech: ''See what we two can
dogT / rarely knew him have a horse
that did not soon become so pervaded
absolutely one in feeling. / was obliged
usually to submit to some bantering slur
on my splendid Gusts Lee. Perhaps a
dash at first would carry the general and
the dogs somewhat in advance.
Ny side had trick Of aching If we
started off on gallop, and I was obliged
to keep tight rein on Gusts Lee at first,
as he champed at the bit, tossed his inn
patient head and showed every sign Of
ignominious shame. The general, as
usual, called out, "Come on, old lady!
Chug up that old plug of yours; I've got
one orderly; don't want another"-this
riding at a considerable distance in the
rear. After a squirt of tremendous speed
back flew the master to me to excuse
him; he was ready now to ride slowly
till ''that side of mine came round to
time," which it quickly did, and then !
revenged the insult on my swift Lee, and
the maligner at last called out, That's
not so bad nag after ALL" The horses
bounded off the springy turf as if they
really hated the necessity of touching the
sod at ALL They were very well matched
in speed, and as ON we flew we were
neck by neck, side by side, never chang
ing our places. Breathless at last, horses,
dogs and ourselves made halt. The
orderly with his slow troop horse was a
speck in the distance. Of course, / had
gone to pieces little by little between the
mad speed and rushing through the wind
of the plains. -Tenting on the Plains,

THE defeat of the Democracy at
the recent election although over
whelming, we predict is only tempo
rary. The administration of Grover
Cleveland will leave its impress on
the nation as one of the highest or
der of purity, broad and liberal,
Democratic and comprehensive as
the union itself. With the Demo-
cratic administration came peace and
good will blessed with prosperity
such as thecountry has not seen since
the war. The peaceful attitude and
friendly spirit of the South has In
fused new life into that section
and her waste places are being trans
formed into productive fields. In
spite of the uncivil and unchristian
taunts ofunscrupulous politicians who
attempted to keep alive the hatred
of the war between the sections, the
Cleveland administration made al
true patriots feel that we are once
more a united nation. In its appea
to the people the Democracy based
its claim upon the merit of an hon
orable and successful administration
and in the name of the masses pleaC

SPECULATION is rife as to what
President Cleveland will do when he
ceases to be President and steps
down and out. The stories that he
will become a railroad president, or
counsel for some large corporation, or
even take long fishing trip are all
denied. But wherever he goes he
may rest content that the good
wishes of the people will go with
him. President Cleveland may not
have been a practical politician.
His views may not have been in ex-
act accordance with "Jacksonian'
Democracy, but history will write
him down as brave man, a states
man and a patriot. What more can
man wish for?

One thing is sure, they will have to

Republicans last winter will he

FROM 1876 to 1880 the solid South
showed an increase of thirty-fve per
cent. in her population as against
nine per cent. for the preceding de-
cade. To what this remarkable in
crease is attributable to no one knows
but sufficient it is to say that 1t gave
her an additional increase of fourteen
members of Congress and twenty
eight electoral votes. The National
Tribune (Rep.) in commenting on
this fact says: "Should this be re-
heated in the census of 1890 it may
again result in turning the country
over to the Democracy. The Demo
Gratis will leave no stone unturned to
utilize the entire force of the Solid
South. Hence it is well to keep our
eyes open, for there will be much to
fear in 1892" Such cheering words
from the only Republican paper in
Nashville will doubtless bring JOY
into Democratic hearts. If the
Democrats ever return to power il
must be through the aid of the South
and the Review is evidently alarmed
at our rapid growth.
