TTEU READS, ENVELOPES, CARDS, t 3?oi- tlte Heathen. The other day when the wild wind whistled sad-toned jig? around the battery, a little! old man entered aT saloon in that vicinity and asked the bartender if he could leave some tracts there. ,A. whole car load, if you want to," was the prompt reply, and the little old man placed a package on a beer table and softly asked : 'There is no nobler causa than the cause of the heathen. We should all contribute a small share of our Worldly wealth to shed the Gospel light across the seas.M A pair of bcxing gloves were softly reposing on a table, and the little old man felt of them and went on : "It sinful makes me sad to see such things lving around when the oo-'t of one glove might save a dozen souls in Africa." Three or four oi the boys had dropped in, and the saloon keeper winked at them and replied: "Do vou ''want-.' to earn livcdol lars for the hcatficn V ''Verily, I do'.' Tut on the gloves with mo and knock me down, and I'll ante r.p cash enough to convert a whole regiment of African sinners. " "The caufc is noble, the induce ment great," mused the little old man. as he toyed with the gloves. The bovs encouraged him to go in, desiring to see him knocked wrong end up, and he finally got put of his overcoat with the explanation:- "It can't be a sin to box for the cause of the heathen." The saloonist meant to lilt him over one of the tables at the first blow, but the blow was warded olf very handsomely, and the little old man sighed. "Ah nin ! The heathen walk in wickedness and they have souls to be saved !' "Look out, now!" cried the saloonist, as he got in a left-hander. "Verily, I will, and I will give thoc one in return- for the heathen.' lie struck a staggering blow, and the saloonist didn't feel quite so en thusiastic as on the start, lie took the defcusive, and he soon had all the work he could do. "That's another for the ignorant -minds on the far-oif shore !" sis lied the little old man as he knocked the saloonist against the wall. There wasn't "science"' about him, but he struck to kill, and his arms were lmng around like the spokes in a wagon wheel. e 'Don't crowd on a feller," called out the saloonist, as ho was being driven back, and he got mad and put in his hardest licks. lie meant to smash the little old man's nose as tlat as a window glass; but he couldu't do it. lie got in two or three fair hits and was beginning to regain his courage, when the aged stranger sorrowfully remark ed: . ; "My friend, the heathen call, and I can not tarry much longer. Take this one, and may it broaden your views on the heathen question.' Receive this one in the spirit ten dered, an 1 you may be sure the five dollars shall be a beacon light so far as it will go." He delivered two sledgehammer blows right and left, and the sa loonist got the last on the car as he dodged the first. He went over in beautiful style, and as ho slowly regained his feet he felt in his vest pocket for the money. "If vou'll come around here to nhxht and do that again I'll double the money! ho growled, as he paid the wager. "My road points toward Rosting,' softly replied he oh I man, iand I cannot tarry. Let us part friendly, for I only lioxed thee for the heathen's sake.- I gave to thee, thou hast given to the heathen, and now farewell' Clear Up. Nothing is more needed in this county than a sweeping out the last vestige oi the Radical couidy government, which has gotten our county affairs in such deplorable condition. This is demonstrated to an absolute certainty, by the changes that the counties undergo from a state of debt and financial entanglement under Radical rule, to a condition of non-intebtcdncss and prosperity, as they pass into the hand3 of Democrats. The counties of Wilson and Nash, near us, in 1S15 passed into the .ha ads of the Democrats. The debts created by the Radical authorities in these counties were soon wiped out, and they have for a number of years been on a sourd financial basis. with low taxes, and pay as you go. The county of Warren has been so fortunate as to have had all the time a Board of Commissioners composed of a majority of Demo crats and their county debt, and trading in county orders has been unknown. Instead of 50 percent of their face in inferior goods at the stores, it has been all the time and js now their face in U. S. currency at the County.Ticasury. Two years ago the couitics of Wake and Wayne, emerged from the gloom of Radical night ami official corrup tion, into the midday light of Demo cratic day ami official probity, with the bcnilicent result already stated in these .columns, and wherever the Democrats have controlled the county government, for any length of time in ihis State, there indebted ness is unknown while on the other hand as is the case in Granville, Halifax, Edgecombe, New Ilan nove, Franklin and other counties under Radical rule, we see the counties borne down, by crushing loads of debt, as are the State and National Government under Radi cal rule, which dispirits the people, stagnates business and paralyzes all the industries of thejeountry to such an extent that we hear the cry of distress throughout the land, A change, here in Franklin is im peratively demanded.

Graut has seized the first moment after the adjournment of Congress to fehow his hand; and the people of the couutry cpn sec that it grasps a bay onet, the point of which is turned to ward the Southern States. It is a feeling not of Alarm, but of indignation that will be raised thiouirh- out the land by tha military order that was yesterday issued from the War Department to Gen, Sherruan. It di rects the Gcueral of the Army to hold all the available . military force i.i readiness to be u:ed for ihe support of the 'Fifteenth Constitutional Amend ment, and for the punishment of thosi who may attempt to lutcrfore with the rights therein guaranteed. It directs him; to have the military force c dis tributed as to be able to act with prom ptitude; and it informs - him that be will receive other instructions frani tiuic to time concerning this business. The order means that ten or twche thousand troups of the regular .army arc to be concentrated in the Southern States in those of them which have been, or without this order, would surely be wrested frr.i Grautisni in November next. Tucv will doubtless bo statiuncd mainly in Mississippi, Louisiana,. Alabama, and South Caroli na; and it is not improbable that, be fore the election, the Southern De partment will be put in charge of Gen. Sheridan who has aouic experience in the kind of work that he"n ill be called upon to pel form. X. Y. Sun.

'. :. ..e ic-i? A i here was a republican meeting at Galena," Ills. Republicans were going in considerable numbers. A little lad of speculative turn bearded one of the trains to dispose of a litter of new pups met with dull sale until the little fcl- lowr struck a ponderous delegate whoso predominating traits were fun and fat. Roy went for him. Roy want to buy a pup, fdr ? Delegate No, bub; I have (Jogs enough now to run a sausage factory. Roy- bat these arc a new breed of pups, I don't think you've got any like em. Delegr.te have they got any joli tics? Roy You bet they have. Delegate Well, what are the, dem ocrats ? Roy Democrats? No, sir, repub lican pups, every one of 'cm. Thls took the crowd and the boy sold same of his pups. '" A few days after there was a big Democratic meeting at the same place, and the people were flocking to hear Stephen A. Douglass, the orator ou the occasion. Roy concluded he would dipso of the remaining paps and boarded train with lb stock. Oue of the first he" struck was our big.mau whom a clean shirt and a cbauge of clothing metamorphosed . so effectually that the boy failed to rccog nir2 him. A similar dialogue was held p.nd finally the political procliv tics of thi infantile canines a.i inquir ed into when boy promptly replied that they were -Deaioeratic pups of course.'' Fat man Now I've get you, ir. You told me a few days agj they were Republican purs. R.y they were tben, but you sec they've g-.t their eyes open since. The fat man owned up sold and smart boy sold his pup. The eye-opening procc-o h going on rapidly now aad the Radical arty is becoming beautifully !e5.
