SOURS' DIFFICULT ES.
A POLITICAL STORY
tam no novelist, and have never aspired
to be, bat claim to be.something of a politi
cian.
If there is a loyal man I believe I am ono.
I made great sacrifices during the war for
my country. I did not go to war because I
could not. My private affairs would not
permit it. But if oneperson in the United
States of America-kept up a more galling fire
in the rear than any other one; I am the man.
I have been the mark of the Copperheads
And besides it his cost-;toe much domesti6
trouble.
George Washington Harrison Socrates
Clay Dobbs, (that's me) unfortunately mar
ried one Amy Amanda Maria Louisa Scraggs,
and as old Scraggs was a Democrat, my Amy
has been a follower of the old rebel sympa
thizing, Copperhead Butternut, and at times
the climate at "Dobbs Cottage" became
somewhat tropical. But I have borne it all
like a Christian.
Old Scraggs has always been too. fast for
me in argument, but when he came visiting
and I held family prayer and got the old
reprobate on his knees I had all the say, and
you better believe I poured grape and canis
ter into Fort Sumter. Amy was a beautiful
girl, and I married her because I loved her.
Some said I married her for "Dobbs' Cot
tage," but that is a copperhead lie. It is true,
her father ruadesis a present of the farm and
cottage, but what of that!' It was his daugh
ter, and she had a right to it, I was master
of the situation until recently -This suffrage
question involved me in.a very serious diffi
culty. I had taken special pains to tantalize
Amy about copperheads, butternuts and
sympathisers, but when this suffrage question
came up she gave me fits upon the negro
equality question.
I fended the best I could, but I found the
poSition was getting untenable, and so - I de
clared straight for equality and went 'at it
upon general equality principles.
I went my whole length and declared for
outright equality.
Our people had got patriotic and had ad
'miffed the negroes into the public schools,
and I had the honer of moving first in, that
important step.
• One evening a few weeks ago I came home
anti Amy and I had a set to on the equality
question. The children had - been to school
that day, and each had a negm next to them.
I saw Amy was working her wits, the result
of which was an announcement that if the
children had to associate with negroes, I
should too.
I regarded the threat as an'idle boast, and
thought no more of it.
A few days after this I notified her that
General-and his Wife would dine with
us. Her eyes sparkled; I knew there was
mischief brewing. but I could not foresee it.
I advised her shut the General, his wife
and I would be at the cottage at one. And
sure enough we were.
And Amy was prepared for us. She had
prepared an excellent, dinner, and met us at
the door to welcome. us, announcing at the
same time that dinner was ready.
As soon as we were prepared she led the
way to the dining room, and had a saucy old
negro by the name of Crow with his wife
and the two that were seated next to our
children at school already at the table.. She
apologized for her haste in seating her first
guests, assuming that she had concluded we
were not coming, and then proceeded to for
mally introduce old Crow and the Crow fam
ily generally to the General and
,wife as
brother • Crow, sister Crow, Master Crow
and little Miss Crow.
I felt a, good deal like crowing some my
self. My legs began to show unmistakable
signs ofelasticity. I felt as if I could heave out
anYsix negroes in the neighborhood. But I
fully comprehended the nature of the-situa
tion. The General's wife was about to ex
plotle.
The Generisl although an earnest Radical.
could not suppress his olfactory from be
coming slightly elevated. My Amy was ex
tremely polite, and chatted apparently in one
of her happiest moods. Old Crow sat back
with his thumbs in the arm-holes of his dila
pidated_ old vest, whilst his wife with folded
arms was assuming an air of maidertinno
cence.
Amy handed the General a seat by the
wench, which filled up that side of the table,
and hurriedly seated the General's wife by
old gums' andivory. Then gathering np the
children seated them, beside their school fel;
lows, after which she took hCr seat at the
head of the table, and requested me to be
seated at the further end to wait upon the
guests. -
.Cp to this time I had managed well. But
the General's wife arose and remarked that
she did notintend to bear the insult further.
At this the General flea into a passion, and
accused me of purposely arranging an insult.
I protested, and accused Amv, and as I did
so old - Scruags - stepped in. The General re
"marked, "you old butternut, you are at the
bottom of this." My Aniy reminded him that
was her home, nod no one should insult her
father there, and ordered him to leave.
The General called her a dirty huzzy for
insulting his wife, and at this old Seragga-bit
him with the knot end of .a lhaternut limb.
I sprang between them to protect my guest,
when old Crow placed the General and
I upon an equaliiy. In the melee the wench
assailed the General's wife and thgtight be
came general, Amy in the meantime expos-
Aulating and counselling peace.
Finally we all succeeded in resuming our
perpendicular positions but old Crow, who
was just then the special object of a charge
from the General.
Amy was playing Pocahontas, by leaning
over the old carcass, and succeeded in caus
ing the General to retreat.
She then placed her arms around him and
attempted to raise him. I blew up. Mak
ing a charge upon old manhood—l ruined a
calf skin. -
Mrs. Crow patted me on the back with a
chair, whilst the young Crows set-up a regu
lar down South jubilee.
But I 'cleaned them out. I did, indeed.
The last words I heard from old Crow were,
"You're no gemman."
Scraggy enjoyed it... Amy was exceedingly
sorry, end could not comprehend what had
caused the r0w,... The General and his wife
were off in a flurry.
And I—l was the maddest and. mutest
Radical in the State.
I pursued after the General to apologize
and explain, and run into old Crow. Re
gave me an exhibition of his "manhood." and
seeing I was flanked, I wheeled to retreat.
In my haste I encountered the wench and
over we went.
1 partially recovered and started on all
fours, when old Crow came to my assistance,
and py an attack upon the rear enabled me
to make the fastest time on record.
AS I cam down the pavement I discov
ered a waving handkerchief. It was Amy's.
ficraggs had assumed a belligerent pos . ithm,
and as I passed him. set Crow to trotting in
the opposite direction. He made good time,
but nothing in comparison to what I had
done.
Since which time I have been dubbed
"Dexter" by Amy and het father, and at the
least intimation thatl intend vote the Radical
ticket, Amy Insists upon rehearsing her story
'of the race between Manhood and Radical.
I have partially succeeded in reconciling the
General and his wife, but my suggestion to
play the same joke on Scruggs and •kmy, at
firms, brought to the General's mind such- a
sirs t recollection of old Crow's muscular
po,vers, that he concluded that Negro equali
ty would answer for electicseeting purposes.
but was a decidedly dangerous experiment
by way - of practical jokes. I thought so too

Virtue in Washington.
The good people who live in the country
have no idea of the corruption and prostitu
tionthitt exists, or how, rapidly -our social
system is being undermined. Virtue is held
cheaply; and, while the conventionalities of
society are respected openly, they are defied
in Secret. •Iden - and women assume purity
when brought face to face with religious
foriris,.but they do not wear it when the
doors close behind them, and shut out the
light of the world. Society is - fearfully con:
rupt, and morality is only a thin shadow be
hind which the scenes of vice and licentious
ness are boldly shifted. Prostitution is - one
of the common evils of the land. 'Yon need
not seek for it only in out-of-the way streets,
behind mysteriously darkened windows, or
In a Broadway promenade alter nightfall,
bat also In palace-like' houses, and in high
places of official trust. Washiligtoe is a i l
very Sodom. Some of the Departments are
dens of corruption. A female clerkship, too
often, is but a narrow screen held up be
tween the world and dishonor. Women by
scores are In Government employ at Wash
ington, who outrage virtue night a ter night,.
and Senators, Congreasmee, and leading pol
iticians have a criminal knowledge of the
fact. Young girls _in the country, inspired
with a noble feeling of independence, and
blinded by a flattering offer, are tempted to
take a clerkship 'at Washington.; they leave
home for the city, and in a few months a
wild and dissolute life tells how complete is
their ruin. They sacrifice virtue and become
the concubines of those who retain them in
power. We warn the pure minded girls of
America that Washington is no place for
them; it is an iniquitous city, made so by
those whom the people have raised to posi
tions of trust and honor. A gentleman well
acquainted behind the scenes, was recently
requested by a friend to lend his influence'
toward obtaining a clerkship in one of the
Departments for a virtuous young girl.
"Certainly, sir," he remarked, "but let me
enlighten you in regard to the qualifications
necessary to conunend success. The young
lady must possess sensual - charms, an& pos
sessing them must have no squeamish no
tions about offering them for sale." Shock
ing as this declaratiob may appear, it is
strictly true. A female clerkship at Wash
ington, in many instances, is but a respecta
ble kind of prostitution. Let any man in
the world visit Washington, and if he does
not meet with a face in some one of the De
partments that was once known to him in
the dark, mysterious walks of life, then we
will acknowledge that we are laboring under
an embarrassing mistake.
Comical Scene in a Church.
From the Newark (New Jersey) Courier.]
On Sabbath last, in one of our prominent
Broad street churches, the closeness of the
atmosphere produced an almost irresistible
feeling of drowsiness among many of the
congregation. Of the number who found it
impossible to deny the drowsy god was one
°Cour most successful business men, whose
honest efforts to throw off the somnific Maui
efice he was under were witnessed by sever=
al:lookers-on; At last he succumbed; his
eyes went shut and failed to come opin
again, and his bead began to nod to this anti
that neighbor quite familiarly. Presently
the sleeper's head slowly went towaids its
owner's wife, and continued to sag, sag in
that direction, until a delicate sprig on my
lady's hat pointed directly into the ear of the
snoozing husband. One more lurch of the
head on "that line" would cause the tapering
sprig to enter, and peculiarly affect the sen
sitive portion of that delicate organ,.and'sey
eral persons in the gallery were -giving
breathless attention to the scene, fully an
ticipating an extraordinary denoumentwhen;
the connection between the ear and sprig
should be effected. At last it came, the
heavy head made another sag wife-ward, a
tull inch, the sprig passed into the ear as
nicely as if it had been pointed by roguish
hands, and penetrating to the inner and
most sensitive portion, tickled the nodding
gentleman so intensely that he drew up his
head with a jerk, and striking out with his
right hand before he way fairly awake, dealt
his wife a blow full upon her new bonnet, to
the utter discomfiture of its flowers and rib
bons, and to the infinite amusement of the
lookers-on in the gallery.
My . Courtship.
When I was sixteen I fell in love. There
was nothing remarkable in that, for most
young men of that age do the same thing.
But what I am going to tell you is, how my
courtship terminated. It was at a party that
I saw Sallie B—r, who was one of the pret
tiest girls in Tickton; and I tell you, she
looked sweet in her white muslin ball-dress,
with her hair falling loosely over her should
ers. I got an introduction, danced with her
once, twice, thrice, and I was just the hap
piest man in all Tickton. Well, at last the
.party - broke up; but I had an invitation to
call on Miss B—. That was all I wanted,
and I didn't sleep much before Sunday eve
ing—for that was the time I'd fixed to call.
I called ; saw 3liss Sallie to church—saw
her home : and when I left I had a pressing
invitation to call again ; and I did not for
get it I assure you. At the end of a month
I was completely gone. At last I resolved to
"pop the question." and fixed on my next
visit for the time, Studied "Courtship Made
Easy," thoroughly and concluded I was
ready for the task. Time arrived. Here I
was sitting by the side of my beloved, with
I
my arm around her waist ! took her hand
bi thine. and screwed up my courage to say,
"Dear Sallie, do you love me?" She made
no answer; but her eves were cast down,
and I hoped—yes, I was certain—she loved
me. I put both my arms around her neck,
and I pressed one, two, three kisses on her
rosy lips. She did not resist, but raised her
head and said:
"You're as bad as Sam Simmons!"
THE. Morning PoSt—the new Radical
newspaper published in this city—announces
the following gentle doctrine :
"We must set up the Test Oath in the
fiouthern Confederacy, as Gesler set up his
cap for the Swiss, and those who cannot
Lake it must not pass it."
Is the Post aware what became'of Gesler's
experiment? If not, history will Tell him !

tells of a man who became so infatuated with
the game of base ball that he insists on run
ning the "home" machine on the base ball
system. His children, being quite numerous,
are divided off into "nines . 'At the table
they are assigned their, respective positions,
and the servant ordered to take the "first
base." His wife, whose word "none dare
dispute," is styled the "Umpire" and himself
the "batsman," his duty being to , dog the
children. When the youngest child cries he
designates this a "foul bawl," and orders the
servant to stop it. A few days since this gen
tleman returned home and found dinner not
ready and the servant leisurely reading a ten
cent novel, whereupon ho ordered her to put
a "short stop" to such proceedings. 'Here
the "Umpire" put in, and the result was a
fuss in the family, and a practical illustration
of the fact that base ball is a game that don't
work well in the family circle.
