AN UNFORTUNATE WIDO
Col. Small once related the following
odd occurrence during his perigrenations
in Georgia :
" Between Caleba, Swamp and Line
Creek, in the Nation,' we saw a consid
erable crowd gathered near a drinking
house, most of them seated and smoking.
We. ~gee whifrkwas Abe, matter,. It was n ay, and " herehad , been a
quarter race for a gallon of whisky. The
first thing I noticed on alighting was the
singular position of one of the horses of the
party. lie was kneeling down and stand
ing on his hinder feet, his head wedged in
between the ends of two logs of a grocery,
and he was stone dead, having evidently
run directly against the building at full
speed, causing the house to partially
About five paces from the horse lay the
rider, quite senseless, with a gash in his
throat which might have let out a thou
sand lives. As I said, most of the crowd
were seated and smoking.
" What is all this ?" I inquired. "What
is the matter here im
"Matter ?" after awhile answered one
in a drawling voice giving a good spit,
and refilling his mouth with a new cud.
Matter enough ; there's been a quarter
race."
" But how came this man and
killed ?" I asked.
" Well," answered the chewing •
spitting gentleman, " the man was con
siderably in liquor, I reckon, and he ran
his hoes chuck against the house, and
that's the whole on it."
" Has a doctor been sent for ?" inquir
ed one of our party.
"I reckon there ain't much use of doc
tors here," replied another of the crowd.
"Burnt brandy would not save either of
them, man or hose."
"Has this man a wife or children ?"
inquired I.
"No children, that I knows cni," an
swered a female who was sitting on the
ground a short distance from the dead
man, smoking composed.
"He has a wife, the n" I remarked.
"What will be her feelings when she
learns the fatal termination of this most
unfortunate race ?"
I. W. SUN!.
" Yes," sighed the female—it was an
untbrtuate race. " Poor man,

the Whbliky."
"Do you happen to know his wife ? has
she been informed of the untimely death
of her husband ?" were my next inquiries.
"Do I know her ? has she been inform
ed of his death ?" said the woman.
" Well, I reckon you ain't acquainted
about these parts. lam the unfortunate
widder."
Can any one tell how men who absolutely
cannot pay small bills, can always Ana
plenty of money to buy liquor and treat
when happening among friends ?
Can any one tell how manyjoung men,
wkp dodge their washerwomeß, and who
arE always behind with their landlord, can
play billiards night and day, and are al
ways ready for a game of Poker or Seven

Can any one tell how it is that some
men owe their butchers, owe for rent, owe
for tailoring, for shoes, etc., can yet have
everything that's nice, eat oysters at night,
wear fine clothes and have all the delica
cies of the season ?
Can any one tell how men live and sup
port their families who have no income
and don't work, while others who are in
dustrious and always employed almost
starve ?
Can any one tell how a man who is too
poor to pay four or five cents a week for a
newspaper, can spend five or six times as
much for cigars and tobacco, to say noth

COLFAX ON TOE ADMINIIITRATION
The Vice President, Mr. Colfax, made a
long speech in Providence,
a short time

just eulogy of President Grant's adminis

Although I shall not transgress the

you hat you have an administration in

That is but a slight ripple upon the
wave ; for when you look at the adminis

glittering light, that word that you have
longed to see in the high places at Wash

THE 'VIRGINIA ELECTION-" A GREAT
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY !"
At the recent election in Virginia the
two candidates for Governor were Repub
licans. The Democrats (rebels) made no
nominations, but supported Walker
against Wells. Walker was elected, and
by "nigger" votes at that. During the
canvass he rode in the same carriage with
a "nigger? , orator, and the two addressed
public meetings from the same stand,
and worked together in the same harness
throughout. The Democrats who stip
ported Walker helped elect "niggars' 9 to
the Legislature, and "niggers " and Demo-
crate drank from the same bottle, and af
ter the election celebrated their victory in
the same procession. And Walker made
a speech to this procession of "niggers"
and Democrats, in which he declared him
self in favor of the fifteenth amendment
to the constitution, which does away with
the distinction of color at the ballot box ;
and this sentiment of the Governor elect
was loudly applauded by the fraternal
crew of Democrats and "niggars” present.
Let us sum up. A man is elected Gov
ernor of Virginia by the aid of negro
orators and negro votes. The Democra
tic party of the North are bitterly op
posed to negro voting. The man thus
elected carries with him into the Legisla
ture several negro members he having
urged their election in all his speeches.
This is horribly abhorrent to the princi
pels of the Democratic party North. This
candidate for Governor openly advocated
the fifteenth amendment of the Constitu
tiou,which places the "nigger" on the same
platform with the white man, so far as
political rights are concerned. Ever since
that amendment was proposed the Demo
cratic party of the North, in solid body,
have denounced it as an outrage upon the
white race, and the abomination of ini
quity. And now they claim the triumph
of all these things they abhor, as a "great
Democratic victory Was there ever
such a party since Satan first wagged
his sulphurous tail in the bad place !
Trenton (N. J.,) Sentinel.
A PICTURE.
The New York World has been recently
indulging in low slang in its abuse of Gen.
Daniel E. Sickles , lately appointed Min
ister to Spain, by Gen. Grant. The Tren
ton (N. J.) sentinel, gives the pedigree of
the editor of the World tjiusiy :
- ilow
Yorr Wn in ,
is es a
smooimmw
th, scholastic *M
writer,
but as devoid of principle as a rotton egg.
He prides himself on "fine writing," and
his pen is always open to purchase. In
short, the man is a first-class scoundrel,
and is with King or Commons, according
as he is upon the pay roll. He edited the
World when it was an ultra-radical Re
publican journal, with piety thrown in as
a bait to the religious community. But
the paper did not pay, and was rapidly
running down at the heel. In this crisis
Manton, or Moses, approached George
Opdyke, Republican Mayor of New York
city, and begged for alms. He laid before
that functionary his budget of pecuniary
distress, and informed him that immediate
relief was necessary, or he would be com
pelled to go over to the Democrats,
the
leaders of that party haying offered him
a large sum to renounce his principles and
betray his friends. All these facts were
testified to by Mayor Opdyke during the
progress of a libel suit a few years ago.
"But the Republicans declined the be
witching proposition of the high-toned
Manton, or Moses. Hereupon the pitiful,
villian sought out August Belmont, the
Jew broker, and President of the Demo
cratic National Committee, and drove a
bargain of much greater thrift than that
of his ancestor, Judas Iscariot. His pa
per at once went over to the enemy, and
ever since he has been the most virulent
traducer of the party he deserted that the
Copperhead press could trot out. His lat
est effort was a persistent assault upon
Gen. Sickles, whom he accuses of every
infamy in the calendar of moral delinquen
cy. The dirty sneak of a Copperhead
scribbler has been piling column upon
column of detraction upon the crippled
and gallant soldier, just as he was on the
eve of leaving the country on his mission
to Spain. And this mercenary hound,
who openly sold himself to his political
opponents for so much cash down, and
who this day is open to bids to support
any man or measures, is the leading Dem
ocratic editor in the country 1 What a
base and infamous party 1"
No paper copies the ravings of the pur
chasable creature of the New York World
with more approbation than the Lancas
ter Intelligencer. "Birds of a feather."
CURIOUS STATISTICS
A statistical genius declares that "more
money is expenned in the United States

collars of our young men is equal to the
sum necessary to put a bible in the hands
of every Patagonian giant."
