KNAVES AND DUFES.

The Old game has begun-With pros
poet of suCceSs-aS usual. The SNUG
faced ottice-holding and otice-seeking
crowd, who for SO many yrarS have sue
resStully fooled the mass of voters who
constitute the tin pail brigade. are up to
their old tricks.
Democratic and republican clubs are
being formed all over the land to arouse
a feeling of antagonism among the work
mgmen, lest they unite and vote once for
Their own interests. Nice rooms are be
ing fitted up to be kept warmed and
lighted, with cards and newspapers free,
from now until next November, and for
what, and at whose expense: The
money that does all this is wrung pr-
marily from the tin pail brigade by the
cormorants who hold fat places under
the. government, or by virtue of the ne
farIous system it fosters, and who wish
to continue to luXuriate at the expense
Of honest toll.
oh, how soliCitouS these fellows are
fer the comfort of the workingman!
They will meet him at the club room
with an unCtuOus smile and cordial grasp
Of the hand, from now until after elec-
ton, The room will then be cold and
dark for another four years. 1t will
have served It's purpose as the web SET
10y the spider for the fly. Oh! but stop
a bit, workingman' BY and by you will
have the honor of being dressed up like
hand-organ monkey, and made to
"tote" a stinking kerosene torch through
the streets, while you shout yourself for
the chaps who are drinking champagne
which your labor pays for, and laughing
to think what pack Of d fools you
are.
Go it, boys! 'Rah for Cleveland Rah
for Blaine While you are expected to
live respectfully on $500 a year and edu-
cate your children, the veriest heeler
who sits as judge on the city court bench
an average of less than two hours day,
cannot think of doing it for a salary of
less than S. 800, besides what he can
make outside.
Stick to 1t until your protruding shirt
tails and toes proclaim your loyalty To-
the Old parties, that are both commanded
and run by gang Of monopoly pirates!
How bright the prospect is! What
blooming prosperity under Cleveland
Only 10000 failures last year. There
bids fair to be more than that this year.
but then you "tOted the kerosene and
voted for the conditionin which you are,
and we hope you like it. Suppose it had
been Blaine, boys. The story wosld have
been precisely the same.

AN UNCTUOUS PRAYER.


At Detroit, Mich, the Women's
Temperance Union, or the women
crusaders and Salvation Army, Wis
tied a liquor saloon and tried by hard
praying to induce the proprietor to
close the place. The proprietor in
vited the ladies to seats and asked
them to pray, and he himself offered
the following prayer:
"Almighty Creator, Thou who hast
made the heaven and the earth and
created man after Thine own image as
rulers of the earth, while animals are
living on grass and water, Thou didst
teach Thy servant Noah to make wine,
and Thou didst punish him for making
Incorporate Use of it, At the wedding
of Cana Thine own son, Jesus Christ,
transformed water into wine when the
juice of the grape was exhausted that
the enjoyment of the guests might not
be disturbed. The great reformer, Mar
Elm Luther, said He who does not love
wine, woman and song remains a fool all
his life long, and one of the divine com
mands of the book Thou hast given us is:
That man shall drink no longer water
but shall use little wine for the stOm-
aCh'S sake and his often intirnities. All
great men of this earth have been drink
ing of the wine Thou hast given Thy
children upon the earth o Lord, we
pray Thee, have pity on the women
here, who are even like the beasts of the
field and drink water like an OK, while
they dress eXtravagantly and lead their
husbands by other eXtravaganCes, not
tending to our well being, to be bank
rupt, depriving them of the pleasures of
this world; yes, driving them to suicide,
O, Lord have mercy on these ladies';
look upon them. They wear not even
the color of the face which Thou hast
given them, but they are SHINING against
Thee, and not content with nature, they
paint their faces. 0, Lord Thou canst
also perceive that their figure is not as
Thou hast made it, but they wear humps
on their backs like Camels. Thou seeSt,
o Lord, that their headdress consists of
false hair and when they open their
mouths Thou seest their false teeth: and,
O Lord, lust make a note of the spiral
spring and cotton batting contrivances
they wear in their bosOms, for no other
purpose than to make themselves volup-
tuous and to excite in man a much
worse passion than the Use of wine; and
for the same reason they have a number
six foot pinched into IA number three
shoe and number forty waist squeezed
into number seventeen corset. o Lord,
these women want men who patiently
accept this without using the power
Thou hast given to man, that all women
shall be subject to man. They will not
bear the burden of married life and obey
Thy commands to multiply and replenish
the earth, but they are too lazy to raise

Until law was passed couple Of
years since by the Virginia Legislature
q number OF negroes and q few white
men we're in the habit Of setting duck
traps on the large fats in James river
in the vicinity Of City Point. Great
numbers OF ducks were caught-so
many that more traps we're set-until
those waters, before a paradise for
sportsmeE, were in effect monopolized
by the trappers, who became very inso-
lent to sportsmen and gunners at
tempting to shoot on the flats, although
these waters are the property OF the
State and by law open to all its inhabi-
tOnts. During the last year OF the
trapping not less than $4,000 ducks were
caught, and the numbers OF black ducks
and broad-bill, the varieties most easily
captured, were greatly diminished. The
ducks are just recovering from this enor
nous slaughter, and now when the gun
ners and sportsmen are again in fair
way to enjoy good shooting bill has
been brought forward in the Legisla-
ture to permit the murderous traps to
be again set at work.
, In the name OF the great body OF le-
ultimate sportsmen and the gunners
who shoot in a fair way. we protest
against the repeal OF the wholesome law
forbidding duck-traps. G. l.. II.
