Mr.. Joel Chandler Harris affectionately
and lovingly known to every household IN
this land as Uncle Remus." recently
dined with the President at the Whit,
House, and he had a mighty good time,
too. Moreover. he tells about II in his
magazine-but not as Uncle Remus;" no,
indeed! That benign old darby never dis
courses upon topics even remotely politi-
cal; when Mr.. Harris would unburden
himself about such sordid things. he
speaks through the mouth Of Mr.. Billy
Sanders. OF Shady Dale" Mr.. Sanders is
a gentle philosopher; he has a kind heart,
which, as every one knows, is more than
a coronet; and he has a simple faith,
which. as every one likewise knows, IS
more than Norman blood
Mr.. Sanders:
When our editors an big men begin for to git
the swell-head. the magnets an mugnets tip the
wink &c the banks an all the concerns that roost
in the same barn, an then all on EN- begin for 10

Hes the fust President that ever shuck his fist
in the face Of the greed an corruption Of Wall
street, an made the mugnets and magnets tumble

Indeed. it is to be regretted that Mr..
