Love Phfltcra.

A favorite plant with the old herb

several species Of orchis. AS far back
as the days of the Roman empire 1t
was commonly supposed that the roots
of the satyrion supplied the satyrs
with food and prompted them to com
NIT those excuses for which they be-
came proverb1al. kircher relates the
case Of a youth who. whenever he Wis
tied q certain corner of his garden, be-
came so lovesick that he mentioned
this strange Circumstance to friend.
On examining the spot it was found to
be overgrown with species Of saty-
rion, the odor of which alone had the
effect Of inspiring love.-Chambers'

very gratifying manner. We must

the street wildly portrayed in all their

1t is amusing to see what kindly
feelings the Democratic party is try
ing to express just at this time for
the educated negro, since 1T has
awakened to a realization of what ter
idolized leader in the Charleston con-
vention uttered about coored men
having no souls, but in the same
breath they proceed to say that the
real reason they hate the negro so
much is he does not vote their tick
ct. or course that will have great
weight on men who believe in prin-
ciples, which the Democratic party
has tried to destroy from time almost
immemorial White members of the
Republican party are not foolish by
any means and that sort of rot might
as we'll be left unsaid. The Demo-
Gratis might as we'll lash into line the
thousands who jumped the traces. but
there are many who will laugh at
that sort of persuasion and even hold
the party in greater contempt.
Right al this particular time the ed
;lcated colored man does not return
that progressed sympathy the Demo
cratic party hypocritically expresses
for him. He knows that the life and
liberty of his race is being plotted
against by that party and that means
him too. 1t is really the boldest at
tempt to return to the dark days of
slavery that has been undertaken
since the civil War.-ClarksburS Tel
