THE TWIN GoBBLER ESCAPED
A Midshipman's Quick Witued-l
ness Saves the Christmas Dinner
for His Mess

A Midshipman's Quick Witred-
ness Saves the Christmas Dinner
for His Mess.
Christmas at sea has its pleasures as
well as on land. On old commodore
tells the following amusing story of
mess-room rivalry:
''When vessel is expected to be at
sea On Christmas day the officers gener-
ally make point of reserying some of
their land supplies in order that they
may have an extra feast on that day.
1.-THE two meSSes, the wardrOOm mess,
to which the watch officers belong, and
the steerage mess, which is composed
principally of the youngsters, attempt
to SurpasS each other on such occasions.
l don't know why it is, but the steerage
generally comes out ahead at such
times, when advantages are equal.
l remember when the Portsmouth
came round the Horn from San Fran
cisco during the winter of 1ST1-1S.
Each mess kept turkey for Christmas
dinner. When all the land supplies
were gone and only sea grub was left.
these birds lived on and grew fat, for
they were well fed.
They were exactly alike, and no one
knew which one was whose. They were
kept together in a coop on deck, where
they were watched and fed.
"A day or two before Christmas the
coop door became unfastened, and be-
fore it was secured one of the birds es-
capped and flew off over the sea. A
lieutenant and midshipman were con-
yersing near by and as the turkey took
wing. the latter exclaimed as quick as d
flash, There goes the ward-room tur
keyp
That was all the evidence needed tc
identify the remaining bird, and to en-
force the claim that the Storage turkey
was still safe. The youngsters had hin
for their Christmas dinner, too, anc
| glOried in their success"

CHRISTMAS Is NIGH.

And guns that Will shoot
And birds that will MARBLE,
And cars that will scoot
And bottles of perfume.
That scent up the air,
And golden hued bracelets
For mdidens to wear,
And jackets, and mittens,
And bonnets, aud caps,
And sealskins, and woollenA
Ana other warm wraps.
When all these go flying
Around through the streets,
Held tight in the arms
OF each person one meets,
To be carried straight home
And hung up high and dry.
Then guess for surety
That Christmas Is nigh.

DAVIS MANIFESTO.

A. III. s. Davis, the putative
chairman of the Central Republi-

rules by which delegates shall be
elected to the Republican Conven-
tion. We would like to know
what authority has Davis to issue
any rules +? His alleged commit

who do not practice what they
preach, aud who use their high
positions to commit offences
against society and public morals.
The BEE is satisfied to remain a
sensational journal without any
fear of ever having to attend
either a foot race or a funeral.
There are doubtless a great many
who would rejoice to hear of the
latter and who would relish the
former and to this confraternity
of our admirers we hold out no
hope, for the reason that we do
not soon anticipate the occurrence
of either. We do not realize the
sense of fear and our health is rea
sonably good; thanks to D. P.
There is an evil which exists in

rected by letters and to which we
propose to devote our best ener-
gies toward remedying if by cry
ing a loud against it. 1t can be
accomplished (andwe think it can
be,) We refer to the practice which
has been in vogue for many yea RS
and endorsed by certain lawyers of
procuring clients through the
medium aud agency of men who
are paid percentage upon sub
jects furnished for dissection to
their respective employers. The
practice is hurttul to reputable
lawyers and damaging to those
who countenance it or who give
aid ani comfort to those engaged
in it we have enlisted on our side
the services of an eminent ex-detec
tive who is also a journalist and we
calcnlate to make the wool fly
and to hit heads without regard
to consequence or cost. A hint
to the wise ought to be quite suf-
fcient.

THE COON METHOD.

When ''Colored Negro" un-
dertakes to argue with colored
antagonist and finds that be is
going to get the taste slapped out
of him aud fiunked in the bargain,
he goes back to Ancient History
to tnd out how many sheep his
competitor stole before the War
as a slave if be was slave and
whether his father or great uncle
was ever hung for horse stealing,
or whether he ever robbed any
body since freedom. by paying hi
debts with bricks and cobble stones.
This once ascertained, disqualifies
his antagonist and prevents him
from securing respectable hear
ing, despite the fact that these little
nothings have nothing to do with
the case. But it is consolation
to this particular breed of old time
COLOred Negroes toroll as a sweet
morsel under their tongue, the
uffal aud slime and filth which
those who oppose them, have
thrown off in their march to glo-
rious victory.
Let them roll it and chew it and
smell it, they grow fat on this kind
of fodder and would die without
it. How different is the white
man of honor and decency in
comparison with these holy and
sanctitied coons who preach the
gospel of unity aud peace, who
pray such long prayers in the
sanctuary of the Lord that their
trousers bag at the knees; and yet
when the occasion presents itself
to them, will assassInate the Holy
One to avoid meeting honorable
defeat in business Or debate, In
law, in church, or State. tits our
humble private opinion that the
internal regions will have to be
enlarged in order to comfortably
accommodate the great number OF
candidates for that Bailiwick on
that great day. May joy go with
them; we wont.

No man in this country is hon
ored more than MIR. Sherman; no
man would manage the affairs of
this government better, il he is
elected, than Mr.. Sherman. He
is a man the country can trust,
and one in whom the colored man
can confde. Mr.. Sherman is
sound and always has been ON the
Negro question. Mr.. Sherman is

Pioneer and Father of that Repub.

interview caused that gentleman
to desist from a scheme which he,
together with some gentleman in

towards the endowment of a

much incensed that colored man
should be guilty of such perfdy
and unnatural malignity to his
race, as to dash the pap from the
lips of his infant brother.
HeroicalIy this infant republic

Of their savage neighbors, the an

Colony and not to check any gen

Mr.. Latrobe received me very
cordially and said something

what Mr.. Taylor said and seemed
as much angered as myself at
Taylor's injurious dlsparagement

was like a boy who planted a nut
and dug it up every day to see if
it was growing, that MIR. Taylor

Mr.. Latrobe showed me a large
