I run into the closet, and asked him what he was doing, he said, that he was trying to kill h|tnself. but that he had not the courage.

Man Hears it All.,

The F. M. C. met at their aecustifthed place last night and as it was generally understood that the high cock alorum was to make a speech, the News man quietly crept into his box and waited for the fun. As the greater portion of tJie members had been pressing hriok all day and were consequently tired, it was late before a quorum was announced. The first thing in order wjis reading the minutes of the last meeting, this being done, it was moved by the Anti-fat man that so much of the record as pertained to bad smellg should be stricken out. This motion was opposed by tire fat man w.th the mansard roof above his eye, on the ground that the words Democratic party and bad smells were synonomous, and could not exist a part without destroying the time bearing and dignity of the Democratic party, after considerable discussion in which the words liar, thief, shyster and such tender epithets were freely used, the club.agreed 011 the following substitute for the minute of the previous meeting as read by the secretary:

Fat Men's Club met promptly at. 1 o'clock on the morning of the 28 of Oct. The members generally supposed themselves to own the State of Indiana, and the Democratic party!^ They we if all joyful and full of glory .-

Sadie Crookshank was next sworn. I .'came to tli&Jhxmge about. 8 o'clock this morning, and found Mrs. Schomehl out. took charge of the little babe whom I found alone. Soon after I entered the deceased came in. He acted very strange and did not treat me as usual. I made the remark that the baby was a nice one, he made no reply. I told him that I would go home, and to tell Mrs. Schomehl that I would return soon. I left the house,, the deceased was in the closet when I went out.

following resolution was offered

by the T. S. and unauimouslv adopted.

WHEREAS

it hast now pleased the al-

niighty to place it in the power of the Democratic party under our illustrious leader. Gen. Hancock, to destroy the Union aud wreck the government of the United States, an I kill and maim every d—d ni£St'r who does not vote the Democratic ticket. i.

Be it tlint the F. M. C. in mrtfiny assembled, solemly pledge themselves respectfully to vote every trap that can be found within a radius of thirty miles of this city in the interest, of the solid South, Wade Hampton. Bob Toombs and every lasting secession, and that they will do every thing in their power to bull-doze all colored men and probibit .them irojn

ting the Republican ticket!

We will bust up the government and hang the rebel llag in the court house square. Men who have Ur work ought'nt to live, is our motto. Under this black Republican rule the poor man who labors hard has his pockets full of money and his family lives peacefully and happily. We want a change, we men who put in our time holding up lamp posts through the day and forty drinks every night, must see to it that Hancock is elected. [A voice, let's take a drink.] I say we must have a change. There is too much prosperity and happiness among our people. [A voice from the outside, hurrah for Garfield.] say to you this tariff must lie stoppedV Wen want just such tariff as will let England bring her products here, so that .home industries will be crushed and these men who labor will have to starve.

At the close of this sentence til ere seemed to l»e a collapse, Everything became quiet except a strong inaudible voice which sounded like the wind blowing over an nut meg grater, fo the

many

At tlie conclusion of the reading, the Anti Fan Man proposed threfe cheers for the solid Smth and Wade Hampton, the illustrious. The smoothe faced gentleman with the red pug nose moved that the club take a recess of ten minutes and ad journ to the bar, which of course was not debatable.
