norant negro politician. naval officer at

WHEN A man has done wrong, if he
be wise, he will keep his mouth shut
about it and let time do what it can to
dim, if not obliterate, other peoples
memory of it. For him to essay the at.
tempt to explain, or excuse it, is not
only vain, but foolish. An apt illus.
tration of this patent truth has
been afforded by Governor OFFER
RAILS late interview, given by him, not
to democratic newspaper of his own
State, but to SO called independent
newspaper of Washington, by which
he forced a reply from Senator Daniel,
who has not only raked him fore and
aft but deprived him of all further Of.
fectiye defense. But the Governor
never had much wisdom, and little
brief authority has deprived him of
what he had. He will soon return to
the obscurity from which he sprung,
.snnwept, unhonored and unsung."

PADEREwsKI CUTS HIS HAIR.-The
women of Paris were shocked on Satur-
day, and those of the world elsewhere
will be almost equally startled to learn
that Paderewski, the famous pianist,
has had his hair cut short. The flowing
locks which his enthusiastic admirers
thought reflected his artistic geuius
have disappeared. How the artist
ever permitted himself to be shorn OF
his bushy chryeanthemum, as his crop
of hair has been termed, is beyond con-
preheusion. Paris has paused for q
moment in shouting over the dual al
lance 10 order to discuss the fresh topic
called up by Paderewski's visit to his
barber.

A NEW YORK newspaper says: sit
is probable that most of the anti-Bry-
ante democrats will either fall weakly
into regular democracy or have the
strength to become republicans" This
is probably correct; it is certainly 80. as
far as the South is concerned, for no
matter how foolish a Southern white
man may be, if he be not as daft as
Thompson's famous colt-that is, OF
course, if he have any real interest in
the South, he must support the demo
cratic ticket, as he knows that ruin and
destruction would result from republican
that is negro-dominapcy. Simpletons
and those to whom the fats of the
South is of no concern, will become re-
publicans. Under existing conditions
there can be only two parties in the
South, the democratic and the repub-
licsn, and those who are not with the
former must be with the latter.

combination of the safe, and who was
to come on to Canada and divide the
