A certain South Carolina sheriff, relates a

two and have visit. The Jail yard was
cool nice place, with shade tree in it, and
under this tree was slung hammock for the
benefit of the sheriff when he felt like taking

noon, smoking and swinging, when heard
a peculiar noise below me. Turning partly
over SO that could see the earth, l saw it

man appeared above the surface. He
crawled quickly out and second appeared,

instead OF expanding the currency as the

SAID Secretary Window In his annual re

by which more swift and disastrous con-
traction OF our currency could be pro-
duced. The free coinage of silver
under existing circumstances would be to

When white Democrat down South gets
Jealous In any cause he seems to find it nee
essary to shoot or hang ''nigger," in order,
we suppose, to let off his superfluous enthu-
siasm. Lots Of manifestations of this sort
happen about election time when, to quote
piece of testimony in a recent contested
election case. 1t is the practice of the white
men to ride round the country firing shot
guns and occasionally whipping ''niggers" in
order to convince the latter that the whites
are bound to have fair election. The zeal
OF the opponents of the Louisiana lottery has
taken the same direction, and it has been
found necessary to hang "nigger" in East
Filiciana parish to let the lottery folks know
that they are full of enthusiasm and
mean business. We don't know
whether Southern white Demo
crat when he gets Jealous in religion
gives vent to his emotions in this way or not
but we think 1t would be only ordinary pru-
dence for colored man dwelling in Louisi-
ana to give himself the benefit of the doubt

age and its enemies is not along party lines
but sectional lines. The West and South
are almost solidly in favor, while the East

are as solid against it. No doubt when the

they may put upon the President the respon-

that the real dividing line on this question is

production is looked forward to with much

city and is fine combination of youth,
talent and beauty. There will be several
dramatic critics present who represent
eastern papers who viii doubtless deem it
worthy of at least q fair mention. Several
strong and sprightly specialties have been
introduced since the last performance and
several other new features will make the
play seem quite new again. The perform
ers have been doing diligent and faithful
rehearsing under a competent stage man
ager and they all intend to make their
mark on Wednesday. To avoid dissatis-
