'Way Down Sonth In Dixie!
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Pomeroy |
left the oity, to fill engagements on
the stump in the interior, and has
played us a nice triok. Finding a
returned soldier on tho street, with
. n old hand-organ, on which he rays
ten dollars a year license, which
goes to the support of the bond?
holders, he hired him to como to thc
office of the Democrat, and, from 1
o'clock till 4 every afternoon, play
"Dixie 1"
And here he is, under our window.
"We like it, but the editors of the Si
are outraged 1 One of them says it is
a d-d nuisance! Another says it is
damnable 1 And there he sits and
grinds
"Ohl I wish I waa in Dixie
'Way down South in Dixie!"
hour after hour. The man won't
move, for he says Pomeroy hired
him by the week, The Sun folks
don't like it. Passers-by wonder
why in thunder he don't ohange his
tunel One man, from Goshen,
Orange County, stood there an hour,
to-day, waiting to hear the next tune.
But no other tune comes out of the
horrid instrument. And there he
sits, grinding
'?'Way down South in Dixie!
Oh! I wish I was in Dixie!"
Yesterday, Pomeroy had a row
about the matter. A radical, wlio
offices close by, came down, and
ordered thd soldier to move on!
"Can't do it," replied the cripple.
"Why?"
"'Cause Pm hired to stay here, on
these steps,' under this window, and
play this 'ere tune!"
"Well, Pll seo!" and up-stairs
came the exoited radical. He raved
and Bwore-threatened arrest and all
sorts of trouble.
"Can't help it," said Pomeroy;
"that man was a soldier-hofought
he saved his country-ho pays ten
doll irs a year to grind his machine
I have hired him for the season, and
I shall have him play that same tune
day after day, to remind tho work?
ing men that
.Way down South in Dixie'
are a lot of niggers, scalawags and
carpet-baggers they mu?t support.
And," said he, "if you touch that
soldier, I'll mash your loyal head,
rent these premises; that soldier has
paid his license; I pay for tho music,
and I'll have it just asl want it!"
And thc man is still grinding
away
."Way down South in Dixie!"
How long he is to grind at that
mill, God and Pomeroy only kuow.
But it's a funny idea, compelling us
to sit hero hour after hour to listen
to that soldier grinding out of his
ten-dollar-license organ
."Way down South in Dixie! '
We tried to coax him to change
his tune, but he won't. He says
that Pomeroy hired him to grind it
till his return. If he will huston
back, we'll pay the bill and call it
quits.
[Neio York Democrat, 23c? inst.
Tho tenaoity with which some men
cling to lifo is astonishing. Wo aro
told of a Vermonter who survived
thirteen years after a tamping iron
was driven to the brain. A man is
still living in Eastern Ohio whose
skull was penetrated by a gas pipe.
The notorious Bill Poole lived several
weeks with a bullet lodged in his
heart, and a young man died the
other day af Lexington Ky., three
weel after a bullet lodged six
inci within his brain, and another
ballot had passed from his back to
his abdomen. Ho retained his senses
until his death.
The ramie planters think they can
prepare the fibre at a cost of two
cents a pound and sell it for a dollar.
West Point, since its first estab?
lishment, on March 16, 1802, bad
admitted 4,899 cadets, of which 2,218
were graduated. Tho total appro?
priations for the academy, for tho
period of sixty-six years, have
amounted to $8,552,339. This in?
cludes tho cost of the grounds, im?
provements and educational appara?
tus, os well as tho pay of tho profes?
sors and thc subsistence of the cadets.
A new and good story is told of
Mr. Spurgeon. A certain dissenting
minister refused to interfere in poli?
tics, with the remark, "weare not of
this world." "Pshaw," said Mr.
Spurgeon, vigorously, "all that is
metaphor. You might as well, being
sheep of tho Lord, declino a mutton
chop on the plea of cannibalism."
An old clergyman of seventy, and
his daughter of twenty-eight, both
highly educated and accomplished,
have boon discovored living as her?
mits about thirty miles from Chicago.
They havo lived thus in most out?
rageous filth, and with no diet but
corn bread, for twelve years.
While a ball was going on at
Bethel, Conn., tho other evening,
some uninvited fellows thrust through
the door a two hundred pound hog,
which at onco mingled with the
dancers and created a marked sensa?
tion.
Tho wickedest man io Cape May
eats "deviled" crabs, drinks "sul?
phur" water, and defies (Jersey)
"lightning."
How to bother a carpet-bagger
Ask him for tho nomo of the sheriff
or jailor of tho County he migrated
from.
A man in Dover, New Hampshire,
who boasted that if his house wero
entered by burglars, there would bo
a funeral of one less blackleg, was
recently robbed of a gold watch
hanging over his head, and his
empty purse was placed upon his
revolver lying in a chair closo beside
his bed.
An English girl, who has climbed
the Alps, and strangled a wolf with
her own hands, finds these sports be?
gin to pall, and is now going to Cen?
tral Africa to shoot panthers.
Henry Ward Beecher says if the
Lord wanted to make mill-stones, ho
would moko them from the Anglo
Saxon races; they have so much grit
in them.
The grasshoppers recently ate up
a half acre of tobacco for a man near
Des Moines, and, when the owner
went out to look nt it, they sat on
the fence, and squirted tobacco juice.
Heaven has killed its hundreds
this summer, but tho lightning of
the stills slays its thousands and tens
of thousands, summer and winter.
Bishop Jaues asserts that tho Me?
thodists of tho United States paid
last year $2,000,000 tax on the to?
bacco used by them, while their
missionary treasury is $70,000 in
debt.
The dog that wakes ap from a sound
slumber and looks about him for a
better position, turns round and round
a dozen times or moro, and finally
lies down in the same place, is a per
feot typo of thousands of persons
whom we meet in tho daily walks of
Ufe.
They estimate at 17,000,000 of
pieces the annual fabrication of
calico in Europe; it has a value of
$80.000:000: and employs 3,500,000
individuals.
Two men have been held for trial
in New York for "defacing natural
scenery," by posting advertising
placards on tho curb-stonos.
The European farms, which have
been cultivated for 2,000 years, have
had their fertility renewed by lying
idle every few years on account of
war.
Tho foundling hospital for illegiti?
mate children, ut Borne, has at pre?
sent d.000 babies and 2,000 uurses.
Very queer but quite true, that
while nature is excessively and suffer
ingly dry, humanity is equally moist.

BITTERS_THE HUMAN STO?
MACH seems to require a tonic stimulant.
Ti oin timo, whereof thc niemery of man
runneth not to tho contrary, tonic bitters
havo been used. Formerly, mon made
their own bitters, and few thought ol eat?
ing breakfast without first taking their
"tansy," Those wcro days, however,
when prohibitory laws wcro unknown, and,
in consequence, liquors were pure. Deal?
ers could then afford to bo holiest and sell
nothiig but tho unadulterated. Now,
however, what with Government tax and
court fines, poko-berry juico and alcohol
muBt pass muster for "old rye" and "puro
Bourbon." Pcoplo have como to fear
poieoning more than malarial diseases,
and dropped their "tansy." Bight hero is
whero H08TETTER A SMITH, of Pitta
burgh, havo provon benefactors. Years
ago, tbev commonced tho manufacture of
H03TETTElt'S STOMACH BITTERS,
laying it down as a rulo (that has since
been conscientiously followed) to uso no?
thing but tho purest liquors, manufac?
tured expressly for them. By strict adhc
renco to thiB rule, thoy have won public
confute ncc and reaped their reward in a
large, profitable and steady busineBa.
Their BITTERS ia known all over thc
country. They are the pioneers of tho
business, and "havo tho largest manufac?
tory in tho world. Nor has BUCCCSS, in
their case, (aa in too many iustancce,)
rendered them caroless; their BITTERS
?B aa pure and good, to-day, as waa tho
first distillation. Wc heartily recommend
thom aa a tonic.
AB a sp?cifie for dyspepsia, biliouanees,

TO THE PEOPLE OF TIIE SO UTIL
THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to
the rehabilitation of the South in its former |
prosperity-is offered to subscribers at tho
'ow rato of $1.50 for six months.
Tho annals of tho American Republic
show no political campaign comparable in
tho magnitude of its issues and the mo?
mentousness of its results to that for thc
Presidency, now pending. Indeed, tho
very lifo of freo government is on trial,
and it will bo a sad commentary on the
capacity of tho people for tho exorcise of I
that high trust if they, tho jurors who are
to try tho issue, pronounco a verdict of |
solf-condomnation. If tho South has any
hopo it is in the success of tho Democratic
party in the coming Presidential election;
and every citizen is vitally interested in
tho progress of tho battle, and cannot
afford to be without a sound and reliable
newspaper.
As an organ, not only of sound Demo?
cratic principles, but as a vehicle of ge?
neral news, tho GLEANER is confidently
commended to Southern support. A largo
eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns,
lilied with tho contributions of ablo cor?
respondents, tho daily wealth of tele?
graphic communication and readablo edi?
torials. Especially will it bo valuable as
an organ to disabuse thu Northern mind
of the falsehoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with which it is the
industrious vocation of certain parties to
poison the springs of Northern feeling on
Southern subjects. In this view of tho
matter, no moro valuable aid to the true
reconstruction of the country and restora?
tion of just sentiment at the North toward
tho South can bo rendered than by sub?
scribing to tho WEEKLY GLEANER and
sending it to acquaintances and friends in
tho Northern States.
Wc ask the aid of such of our political
comrades as shall fee this prospectus, in
the distribution of tho paper; especially
dining tho progress oi the impending
campaign.
