TIE ANIMAL HUNT.
Christmas Time Has an Added Charm
Southern Boys.

Christmas Time Has an Added Charm for
Southern Boys.
We used TO have hunts on Saturdays,
just we boys, with perhaps black boy
or two of our particular cronies; but
the great hunt was 'fn the holidays
that is. about Christmas. Then all me
young darkies about the place were
free and ready for sport
This Christmas hunt was an event
1t was the year 1866, and, Christmas
day falling on Sunday. Saturday was
given as the first day of the holidays
1t had been a fine fall; the cover was
good, and old hares were plentiful. II
had been determined some time before
Christmas that we would have a big
hare-hunt on that day, and the ''boys"
that is, the young darkies-came to
the house from the quarters, prepared,
and by the time breakfast was over
they were waiting for US around the
kitchen door Breakfast was always
late about Christmas time; perhaps tho
sparerlbs and sausages and the jelly,
dripping through a blanket hung over
the legs of an upturned table, accounted
for it; and on this Christmas eve it
of the diniug-room before we were
through. When we came out, the mer-
~ darkies were waiting for us around
the kitchen door, grinning and showing
their shining teeth, and laughing and
shouting. and calling the dogs They
were not allowed to have guns; but our
guns, long old single barrels handed
own for at least two generations, had
been carried out and cleaned, and they
were handing them around, inspecting
and aiming them with as much pride as
IL they had been brand new. There
was only one exception 10 this rule:
Uncle Limpy Jack, SO called bec' use he
had one leg shorter than the other. was
allowed to have gun. He was a sort
of professional hunter about the place.
No lord was ever prouder of a special
privilege handed down In his family for
generations.
The other fellows were armed with
stout sticks and made much noise.
Uncle Limpy Jack was, as stated, the
only exceptions; he was grave as be-
came a imam" who was hunter by
business, and "warn't arter no foolish
ness" He allowed no one to touch his
gun. which thus possessed a special
value He carried his powder in a
gourd and his shot in an old rag.
The pack of dogs I have described.
fully recruited, were hanging around,
growing and suarling, sneaking into
the kitchen and being kicked out by
Aunt Betty and her corps of varicolored
assistants, largely augmented at the
approach of Christmas and its cheer.
The yelping Of the mongrel pack, the
snouts and whoops of the boys. and the
laughter of the maids or men about the
kitchen or backyard. all In their best
clothes and IN high spirits, were ex-
hilerR.ing, and with many whoops and
mach ''hollering" we climbed the yard
fence. and disdaining road, of course,
set out down the hill across the field,
taking long strides, each one Dragging
oudly what he would do.

MY VALENTINE.


How shall my darling know
From another Ones
BY her wealth OF golden hair,
Cleaning in the sum
BY the eyes that are so blue
Eyes to match the sky
or the flush the breezcs left
AS they wandered by.
Touching with their kiss her check.
Making il the hue
OF wild roses in the hedge
Where the sun breaks through;
Nay. but there are other girls
Who have golden hair
Some OF them. the gOssips say,
Weave with il q snare.
Eyes and skies Of tenderest blue
Sometimes can betray-
So must my darling know
In some other way.
Fairest checks that pinkly vie
With the rose at morn
They may match the rose too well,
They may hint thorn.
But IL explore her heart
Find IL true and strong
Then shall my darling know
] shall not be wrong
Hair and eyes and w.ld-rose cheek
Fifty shall combine
To enshrine the spirits grace
or my valentine.

\ democratic state convention is hereby called

on Monday. September II. 1892. at l o'clock p. m.
for the purpose of nominating candidates for

we need to carry Of the government.
Why couldn't Mr.. Mckinley thus
speak If he proposed to deal honestly
with his audience? But Mr.. Mckinley
is a politician and his business is to
hoodwink the people-not to tell the
truth. And in his mission he continues
as follows:
"The value of u exports of merchan-
disc during the last fiscal year was ST.
O~3O,135,626, an increase of S145, 1854 BIG
over the previous year, a wonderful in
crease in our foreign trade under the
law which was to close foreign markets
to u.s."
Again Mr.. Mckinley is compelled to
drag in a foreign famine to help him out
with his figures. Our exports of $780,
100000 of breadstuffs do help him out.
His tariff had nothing to do with it. 1t
didn'to open a market to us, as Blaine
said, "for a single barrel of pork OF a
single barrel of -four" Blaine's reci-
procity clause which Mckinley opposed
out winch he was forced to accept open
ed the door for free trade with three of
four foreign powers and thus swelled
our exports to the sum named. If the
protection bars had been let down all
along the line we would have exported
last year three times s1,O3O,335,626
Mr.. Mckinley's Nebraska speech will
not bear the light Of truth. 1t lacks
honesty, sincerity and the elements of
truth. 1t is intended to deceive by
drawing encouraging conclusions from
false premises. Intelligent men will not
be deceived by it. 1t was delivered for
the consumption Of the ignorant. Even
they will detect it's hollowness before the
Sth Of November.

OF RACES.

The last census gives some interesting
figures concerning the admixture of the
blood of whites and blacks in this coun-
try. 1t shows that the relation of the
two races is much closer in the old free
states in the North than it is in the old
slave states in the South. The bulletin
thus figures it out: We have 7,41O.OiO
persons of African descent, divided as
follows: Pure blacks, G,337 $50; mulat-
toes, 95G,9S0: quadroons, 1O5, l35: octo.
rooms, G9,93G. Taking the five northern
states, Massachusetts, Ohio. Indiana, H.
linois and Kansas and the five southern
states. Virginia. South Carolina. Georgia,
Mississippi and Louisiana we find the
following:
Massachusetts has l4,lOS pure blacks;
G.Sl5 mulattoes; 12s quadroons and 493
octoroons. The mixed bloods foot up
S,G3G or in the proportion of 81 per cent
of the pure blacks OF that state.
In Ohio there are JO,07S pure blacks
and 1905 mixed hoods. The latter
constitute a proportion Of "A per cent.
Ia Indiana there are 81 ,5J7 pure blacks
and 1868 mixed bloods. The proper
ton Of the latter is 43 per cent. In Iii
nois the percentage Of admixture is Al
per cent; in Kansas it is b per cent.
In the southern states the percentage
Of admixture il much smaller. In Vir-
ginia it is % per cent; in South Caro-
lima it is only 10 per cent; in Georgia
II per cent; IN Mississippi Ii per cent,
and in Louisiana 10 per cent. These
percentages would indicate that IN the
colder north the white blood seeks the
warmer channels Of the black, and that
the social restraints which prohibit IA
miliar intercourse between the white
and the black in the south are greatly
siackened above Mason's and Dixon's
line.
