We have tobacconists in Keidsville. They are up to snuff. - One was in Greenville Tenn. some tinie since, and orders were dull, and he found himself with but one bare ten dollar greenback bill in his pocket. it was a fresh green pretty thing and was all he bad. I The next day was Sun day, and he enqnired'for the principal church and went to the Presbyterian, walked solemnly down the aisle and took a seat in the amen corner. The hat passed around. He deliberately took out the ten dollar bill land uu- folded it and dropped it in the hat. A young man sitting I by him nudged him. ; "Didn't yon make ' mistake?" he whispered. : j "l .don t mink 1 did,' replied our tobacconist. e - "That was a ten dollar bil yon put in."' -s. r! !' - ! "That was what I took it for.' "You're pretty liberal." 1 "DunnoJ no use giving to a church unless vou give something.w The whispering ceased and both settled down to join In the singing of the hymn. The next day business opened in Greenville for that tobacconist. He was overrun with orders. The young man he sat by happened to be the son of a prominent tobacconist who was a Presbyterian elder, and it is well known that the Presbyterians always rally arouud the mah who is liberal with his money to God.

"You think," she said, "the ballot will cure every evil. : It will not. You ask too much at once. Educate women to it; let them be given thorough training, and y then knock! at the doors of national legislation, and you will not be de nied admittance. You will not ele vate your own sex by dragging men down, and calling them names, and spitting and trampling on them. It is too foolish.

The following from Mrs. Tilton will appear in the morning papers to-morrow: . i i -4 "Mr. Iba B. Wukklke: My Dear Sir A few weeks since, after long months of mental anguish, I told, as you know, a few friends 'whom I had bitterly deceived, that . the charge brought by my husband, of adnltery between myself and the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, was true, and that the lie I have lived so well the last four years had become . intolerable to me. That statement I now solemnly re affirm, and leave the truth with God, to whom also) I commit my self, my children, and all who must suffer. 1 know full well the explana tions that will be sought by many for this acknowledgment of a desire to return to my husband insanity, malice, everything save the true and only one, my quickened conscience and the sense of what is due to the cause of truth and justice.' Daring all the complications of these years you have been my confidential friend, and, therefore, 1 address this letter to you, authorizing and' requesting you to secure its publication. j (feigned) .Elizabeth it.

Rind ' et Bar aln Hayeh Admlnlatratlon Reek C with Corr option The I People no not Know him The Point of -Peril not In the South bat In the West-Orantat his wit's End. &e. . New York. April 17. The World publishes a six column inter view with. Senator ConkliDg,, The follow ing is an extract: - v w "Well, Senator, I would like to know whether you think the true- history of the Louisiana business will ever be told in Con gress, and if bo, how soon." 1 1 ; Mr. Conkling paused a moment, and then began very slowly, warming up with his subject as he proceeded: "Yes, I think it will. ; I cannot see how it can be kept down; There are -too many avenues ot information opened to day to make con cealment of avail much longer. No reason able man can doubt that there was some kind of a bargain between the friends of Nicholls and that man Hayes, and that Stanley Matthews and Sherman were privy to it. A great many people, have become exceedingly curious to know precisely what the bargain was, and ' exactly how it was carried out, and Yankee ingenuity will be sure to find some means Of getting at it." "wnat win be the result? ; "The result will be that the whole coun try will be appalled, by the dishonor of this administration. I tell you, sir, that never in the history of this nation haa there been in the entire four years of an admin-, istration so much corruption, bartering of offices, -rewarding of political families, traffic with political leaders, and bargain and sale of the electoral franchisees during this past year. People will not believe it until the proof is shown them, but the proof will be forthcoming. People Bay that Hayes is a good man, and means well, but they do not know what they are talking . about. When all the facts are known about this administration' no one will attempt to ex cuse the man on account of. his, supposed goodness, -nor yet because he is weak and ignorant .The point of peril was not in the South, but in the West It was understood that the Republican leaders had determined to have Vice " President Ferry count the votes at all hazards and declare Hayes elected, and the West had determined on resistance. It was to be no child's play in that section. General Steedman had 70,000 men enrolled and assigned to regiments for the purpose of sealing Tilden in office in case Vice President Ferry carried ' out his programme. You may look astonished, but these things are true. President Grant was at his wit's end. He confessed to me that he did not know what to do." - COMMERCIAL: .
