The Toledo Record gets off a good one in
regard to a citizen of Iowa, whose wife, in
his absence, had been kissed by drover,
while giving him glass of water When he
heard of the outrage, he started at once in
pursuit, found the drover after hard day S
ride, and accused him of the theft. aar


The drover admitted the truth of the
soft impeachment, said he had been some
time from home, was sorely tempted and In
IN unguarded moment of frenzy purioined
the kiss-hut that he had not damaged the
won an in the smallest particle-was very
s0rry--thought it was 10 matter to make a
great ado about, and begged to he excused


The husband finally concluded that this
was the right view of the matter. and
agreed to settle it upon the receiptof five
dollars for his day lide This being salts
factory, the drover handed over ten-dolar
bill, and received five dollars in change
But when the aggrieved Benedict returned
home and consulted his Deteetor, he found
the bill counterfeit. He found he had
suffered the indignity of having his wife
kissed by nasty drover, passed one
day in the saddle, and lost five dollars, and
concluded it did mt pay.

And those who prate of the injustice of human society to the negro, do it in sheer disregard of common sense, if not common honesty of purpose Many are knaves who do so, some are blind, infatuated, one-idea enthusiasts, the rest mass of self sufficient, shallow pated ignorant men and women, ever ready to concern themselves with the remote, rath.

 Men whose leaders and sease-bearers in the discussion of questions of the highest political significance, affecting the political life and social order of millions of the white race, can speak of the accidental bearing of mere black skin in controlling the result, will never heed reason, or any thing else, save the impulse of their preiu- dices and the teachings of their knavish demagogues.

At present the Southern people are helpless; they must endure as patient ly as possible; recollecting that man pro- poses but God disposes. What His pur- poses are we know not, in any wide scope; but we do know that He set impossible barriers between the negro and the white race-as distinctly marked to-day as in the dawn of creation-that have made the former subordinate in all human relations, and we will not be Mred or forced to es- tablish an unnatural equality of the two races, among us. Upon this the Southern people are resolved And yet, they are convinced, they are the true friends of the Blacks; those who, if left alone, would dc most to give the negroes that degree ol social and educational culture, and that scope of civilization, for which they are fitted by Nature.

INFLUENCE OF FEMALE SocIETY.--1t is bet ter for you to pass an evening once or twice in Q lady's drawing-room, even though the conversation is slow, and you know the girls song by heart, than in club, tavern, or the pit of theatre. All amusements of youth to which virtuous woman are not admitted, rely on it, are deleterious in their nature. All men who avoid female society have dull percep- tions, and are stupid, or have gross tastes, and revolt against what is pure. Your club swaggerers, who are sucking the butts of bill Hard cues all night, call female insipid. Poe try is insipid to vokel; beauty has not charms for blind man; music does not please poor beast who does not know one tune from anoth- CT and as 8 true epicure is hardly ever tired of water sanchy and brown bread and butter, Iprotest I can sit for whole night talking to well-regulated, kindly woman, about her girl coming out, or her boy at college and like the evening" entertainment. One of the great benefits man derives from woman's society is that he is bound to be respectful to them

 The habit is of great good to your moral man, depend upon it. Our education makes of us the most eminently selfish men in the world.

STRANGE FREAK OF NATURE.-Policeman P

 Smith, who lives on the South side, has t little poodle dog, great pet among his children

 Some weeks since the dog took to the kennel which was provided for it, and could scarcely ever be induced to leave the warm nest. It was supposed he was sick, and every care was taken of him. On Thursday what was the surprise of the family to see the dog running about the house with two infantile ducks fol lowing after him, and he endeavoring to exer- else parental care over them. It seems that MT. Smiths little boy had found the eggs and placed them in the kennel to feed the dog. In the warm nest, incubation had been the re- suit, and the young ducks made their appear ance. The surprise of the dog at the result of his labors, and the job he has so success fully carried out is great yet he seems to be aware of the great responsibility now devolved upon him, and watches with jealous care over his proteges. Woe be to the chicken or any other animal that comes near them while feeding. Of course, excellent care is taken that the little ones shall not want for the choicest delicacies. They seem to take the matter as all right, but, on some occasions, dc not show that parental respect which they should, as they will frequently when nesting in the long hair of the dog, feel imbued with Q spirit of mischief, and pull the hair severe ly with their beaks. Of course his dogship does not like this, but the rebuke administered is of Q gentle nature. This singular trio can now be seen in MT. Smiths yard on the South sidc.-[ [Milwaukie Wisconsin, May 29th.

Nqed the Conservatives of this county
be told that in the approaching contes. the
party that is best organized and carries its
voters most universally to the polls, will
carry the election. Need they be told that
perfect organization-minute, detailed
neighborhood organization is the thing
highly essential to our success. One vote,
aye, one single vote, may decide con-
test on which, perhaps, hangs the destinies
# the nation.


You may rest assured that not single
vote will remain inactive upon the opposi
tion side. The Radicals are making the
most desperate efforts. and DeitLer time or
money is spared in the contest, for they
know, if they do not succeed this time,
that their hairs will be silvercd over with
age before they again stand a chance of
getting into power in this State. Then
let every energy be concentrat d upon this
ono point of GETTING OUT THE
VOTE. Argument and discussion are
about exhausted, for the campaign has
nearly closed. Men have made up their
minds and can no longer be influenced by

and energy upon .your opponents now,
SEE TO YOUR OWN PARTY.


Personal c6or is now needed. See your
neighbor and talk to him-stimulate him
to activity in the good cause, as if you

and unable to GO lend him your horse. II
he is weak and aged send for him suita-

for the good cause? Assuredly not. God

you will not help yourself by helping your
ueighbor, you can not expect to see your
principles triumph. Remember then the
immense importance of ONE VOTE in this
contest-remember then the dearly cher

the ruinous policy against which you are
battling-rennmber that

HIs it strange that taxes should be
heavy? We think not. when we reflect that
the Radical Congress lavishcd money with
free hand upon themselves, their faror-
ties and upon every conceivable scheme in
which the negro was interested. Had
these vast and constant expenditures hcen
made with an eye to the benefit oflhe
masses-with view to advance the inter-
ests of the white race, other than Office
holders, ssme apology might be offered
But this is not the case. Will the people
keep in power the party who have and
continue to do these things? If they Do
they should forever keep silenton the scor.

voice Of Government is already calling for

gance of the dominant party in that body.


Every conservative can readily realize
the Importance. of the contest. and should
therefore do bis full duty. We have no
danger to fear, save from the inactivity Of
cur own party Conservatism has enough
friends to sustain it, if they will but stand
forth boldly in its defence, Then let ev-

of all be exertcd in the cause, and the re-
suit will be glorious triumph. We wi
