Reminders Last Days.

AUBURN, N. Y, April 2S.-Kemmler's
last Sunday on earth was spent 10 muoa the
same way as previous days of his last years
lfe-iu solitary confinement. He never
sees living soul outside OF bis two guards,
his spiritual adviser and occasionally the
warden's wife, He occupies his time be-
tween meals in studying his pictorial Bible
and writing hls autograph on cards. DIR.
Fell, Buffalo scientist, with a patent resus-
citating apparatus, has arrived. He is here
at the request of the warden to see that
everything goes off smoothly. 1t Is under
stood he will try the apparatus on kemuier
after the latter has received 1000 volts.
Warden Durs:on has yet to let fall the hrst
inkling as to the precise day OF the taking
off. It is generally believed that Wednes-
day will be the day, but certainly no later
than Thursday. 1t is also thought that the
execution will take place at very early
hourln the morning, perhaps before daylight.

Mr.. Reed and the Negroes

at the banquet last Saturday in Pittsburs,
Speaker Reed denounced in strong terms the
cheating and bulldozng OF negroes at south
ern elections. He forgot to mention the
great crime committed by thu republican
party, when thay admitted to suffrage aud
introduced into the body polite million
of ignorant and supersiitious bondsmen /;
and thus did all in their power to Afrcaniz,
and blight one of the most extensive and
farest sections Of our country. This ID the
crime of the century-the work, not of
patriots, but partisaDs OF the lowest order.
The republican party then sowed the seed
which have since ripened into harvest OF
mischief, and it is the party responsible
for the inevitable effscts of such cooduct.
Speaker Reed thinks it will do this couu-
try no harm to introduce into Congress
thirty representatives OF this degraded masF;
and do the south no harm to commit its vast
interests in the national government to the
hands Of these thirty negro representatives.
Speaker Reed may yet have an opportunity
to take the sense Of the country upon this
proposition.
II 5 900 900 Cinnamon liar superior to the
neero) had settled upon the Pacific, and
600 900 half civilized Indians In Maine,
what would Speaker Reed say about com
hitting the natioDsl interests of these sec
tions to the control of such people?
Speaker Reed may be q man big enough
for Maine, but he is too small for the Union.

MONDAY EVENING, APRIL IS.

Mr.. SPEAKER REED, by avowing himself
In epeech he made last Saturday nignt' as
in favor of securing the next Congress anu
ihe next Presidency for the republicans oy
letting the southern States severely alone
respecting their State affairs, but taxing
complete control OF every thing relating TO
registration, voting and counting at con-
OCCASIONAL and Presidential elections, de-
clsred himself the candidate of the radical
south-haling element ofhis party for the next
republican Presidential nomination. he
will probably receive it 1t somebody else
does not go bow shot beyond him 10 eA-
nressions of malignant hate for the people
of the South. He says that while the negroes
ara numerous enough TO dominate certain
southern States, there are not enough them
to dominate the Uuion, and that therefore
thew must be allowed to select the congress
man and the Presidential electore &c those
southern States in which they have mere
numeral majority. implying of course that
In such States they must also have al! the
federal cficale. Mr. Reed is not believer
in the good old rule of putting yourself IN
another's place, or Of the better and older
one, of doing unto others as we would have
them do unto us. Six months sojourn IN
tho South would teach MIR. Reed many
things, of which he is now utterly ignorant
not only about the negroes, but the white
people OF this section, among which would
be the fact that negroes are the representa-
tiyes of neither the thrift, industry. intelli'
gence nor morality of the South, and that
they are as utterly unfit to participate in the
making of national, as they are OF State
laws, and are SIS incompetent to discharge
the duties OF federal, IS OF State
offices. If the negroes composed as large q
proportion of the population OF Maine as
they do of that OF the southern States, the
scales would fall f:om the eyes of Mr.. Reed

A COPY of the most attractive book OF the
season has been received from Its publishers,
r. II. Woodward & Co.. Baltimore. Its title
is: Why the Solid South or Reconstruction
and Its Results. It's authors are Senators
Vance of North Carolina, Psscoe Of
Florida, and Vest of Missouri; Representa-
tives Herbert of Alabama. Hemphill of South
Carolina, Turner of Georgia, Wilson, Of West
Virginia and Stewart of Texas, and Messrs.
Jones Of Tennessee, Stiles of Virginia, Long

Such has been the hurry burly of life 10 the
South since the war between the States that
not only have the reasons of, but many
even OF the facts themselves stated in the
book, been forgotten. and the revival OF the
memory thereof would seem like that OF
hldsous dream were 1t not that present evil
dences are atteststlons of terrible reality.
Woe to the vsnquished is natural, but how
that woe should have been intensiied and
perpetuated by people who said they went
to war merely to continue the fellow Citizen
chip of their victims. Is hard to understand
in view of the fact that they profess them
selves to be not only civilized, but Christian
lied. The book Ia 30 attractive to men at
all interested in public affairs that once
taken up it is rarely laid down until Its last
page has been read 1t is not at all calcu-
lated to make southern people love the re-
publican party, and increases the wonder
that any southern man should be republi-
can and it will open the eyes OF fair minded
people in the North to the cruelty and out
RACES that have been practioed upon their
fellow citizsns. whose lot was cast in the
South, by the leaders Of 8 political party, for
the sole purpose of continuing that party IN

According to the Newton, Mass,
Graphic, a Newton young lady saw a
peculiar feature in church in a Maine
town, which she visited this summer.
Hearing the cooling of dove she looked
around and saw white dove perched
on the organ and listening to the music
with great appreciation. She learned
afterward that the dove had been reg
ular attendant at church for eight or
ten years, being attracted by the music,
of which it was very fond. 1t was
y years old, and was the pet of lady
who lived near. After church the dove
was tax en- to its Sunday school class by
boy, and seemed to enjoy the pro-
ceedings. Unlike many church goers,
the wea Their made no difference to the
dove, but every Sunday, summer and
winter, he was at his post on the organ.
