And 0, to think the sun can shine
The birds can sing, the flowers can bloom,
And she, whose soul was all divine,
Be darkly mouldering 1n the tomb:
That o'er her head the night-wind sighs,
And the sad cypress droops and moans;
That night has veiled her glorious eyeS-
And silence hushed her heavenly tones :
That those sweet lips no more can smile,
Nor pity’s tender shadows chase,
With many a gentle, child-like wile,
.The rippling laughter o’er her face:
That dust is on the burnished gold
That floated round her royal head; ‘
That her great heart is dead and cold+
Her form of fire and beeuty dead!
Roll on, gray earth and shining star,
And coldly mock our dreams of bliss;
There is no glory left to mar,
Nor any grief so black as this!
“The South.”
Harper's Weeklv.
Whenever a Republican speaks of “the
South” except to pity or to praise it, he is
denounced as an apostle of hate. If he asks
why “the south" should be intrusted with
the government he is reviled for shaking the
bloody shirt.- If he appeals to history to
show what “the South" means, and what the
dominance of “the South" portends,‘he is
stigmatized as wickedly sectional. But “the
South” can be no more left out of this cam —
paign than slavery out of that of 1860. or the
war from that of 1864, or reconstruction
from that of 1868. The primary Democratic
allegation is that “the South” is solid for the
Democratic candidates, and Wade Hampton
pledges its 138 electoral votes to them.
This is generally conceded. The electoral
vote cf“the South” will be cast for them,
because the popular vote will not be cast
freely nor counted fairly. The only way in
which the Democratic party can succeed is
by obtaining the 138 electoral votes‘of “the
South” in the usual Southern way, and by
picking up 47 votes in “the North.” Dem-
ocratic success, therefore, is the success of
“the South” and that fact is the most im-
portant in the canvass. There is no use in
calling such a result Democratic, not only
because it has nothing to do with Democracy
but because it is best to call things by their
right names. The election of Hancock would
be the control of the government by “the
South.” Is it} desirable that “the south”
should control the government ? That is not
a question of Republican choosing. It is
raised by the facts of the case.
If to state the facts and to ask the ques-
tion is to show hate, and to shake the bloody
shirt, and to be, sectional, we are certainly
and gladly guilty of all those offenses.
Since the question whether “the South”
shall control the government is unavoid-
able and paramount, we shall consider it,
and we naturally ask what “the South”
means. How can we estimate probable ac-
tion except by experience ? The Democrat-
ic party is rigorously and unscrupulously
testing the Republican party by its record.
But when the Republicans retort, “Very
well, since you wish to control, what are
your credentials i” The Democrats burst
into a whining chorus, “Oh, by-gones must
be by—gones; don’t let us fight the war over:
again; don't be sectional; don’t shake the
bloody :shirt; don’t talk about fiat money,
or the extra session, or Garcelon, or the al-
liance of Northern slums and Southern bull-
doziug and tissue-ballot stuffing; don’t fan
the firespf hate, but'letus be brethren, and»
dwell in amity.” In other words, they in—
sist that the Republican party shall be tried
by its deeds and the Democratic party by its
promises. To ask to see the credentials of
the party that would control the govern-
ment is to preach the gospel of hate, and to
thrive by sectional prejudice.
This is nonsense which deceives nobody.
Since Democratic success in 1880 means
Southern domination as plainly as Repub—
lican success in‘1860 meant Northern su—
premacy, the relevant inquiry is whether
the objects which geod citizens desi.e will
be attained more probably under Southern
control. That question can be answered
intelligibly only by inquiring what “the
Scot ”means. It can not be answered by
not asking. -If a man seeks to be trusted
with a ship, the owner will certainly inquire
who he is and what he has done. If the
traditions and principles and spirit and
tendency and acts of “the South” have been
such as to promise sounder financial policy,
surer correction of. the corruption of patron-
age, Wiser taxation, greater security of
equal rights, diminution of sectional feel—
ing, and vigorous suppression of fraud and
violence at the polls than are probable
under Republican. ascendancy, then “the
South” may be safely called to administer
the government, but not otherwise. How
lg this ,to be ascertained but by inquiry?
And what is more absurd than to call such
inquiry preaching hate and shaking the
bloody shirt? If anybody supposes that a
general'election can take place in this coun-
try, while a ‘isolid South" continues, with-
out reference to the war and to political and
national history, he is strangely mistaken.
Sectional politics are dangerous politics.
Our own can not be normal and sound so
longas there is a “solidSouth.” Whyis it
guild? Why does it not feel the currents
and influences that divide the country else-
where? As the little “Half-hour” book, Re—
publican or Democrat? of which we spoke
last week, truly says, the South is solid ei-
the; for a, sectional purpose or because of
resentment. It is make solid not by con-
viction, but by coercion and cheating. In
three of the Southern States at least there
are more colored than white citizens, That
the colored citigeug are Hemograts the mag
$1le 0? Judgsus Apeljles may believe. That
their votes are largely bought is not al-
leged. That they are bulldozed is known.
It was not at all necessary for Mr. Rau-
dolph .Tueker to tell us how the South is
made solid. It is “familiar knowledge,”-
Now the fact that the South is mild is'no
W for supposing that a Southern Han-
cock administration would secure the ob-
jects which 'we have mentioned more cer—
tainly than a Republican administration,
and that “the South”‘would_ be uppeased or
conciligted hy'llemocratic success is no rea-
son for giving it the government. If any
reason can be found in the tone of Southern
sentiment, in the traditional political theo-
ries of that section, or in its history before.
gluing, or since the war, for supposing that
American principles and civilization and
progress wOuld be more assured by South
ern supremacy in public affairs, we do not
kpow what it is nor where to look forit.
The Democratic party by suppressing the
pointed vote makes a “solid South," and we
are asked to give the government into the
hands of that “solid South” because to do
so well conciliate it, and not to do so is sec-'
tional hate. In this situation, which is that
offered tous by the Democratic party. we are
glad to recall the sententious wisdom of a
village philosopher—“The American people
are not a foo.”

The Art of Camping 0|“-
New York Graphic.
“Camping out ?" said the man whom no—
body suspected of ever having camped out.
“Yes, lived out of doors once over a year,
and that without a tent. A bit of drilling a
little longer than an ordinary sheet answers
as well as a tent, especially when alone and
much on the move. And, by the way, I
noticed at the Paris exposition a Dutch or
Belgian idea for a bivouac,,which I regarded
as my own considerably elaborated. The
. tents were mere shelter cloths stuck up at
an angle, and the cloth which sheltered each
man could on the march be worn as an outer
water-proof garment. Under the shelter
was dug a shallow trench, over that a light
netting, and on that was placed the soldier's
blanket for a bed. A regular tent is a bother
unless you can take a servant along to pitch
it, and a servant in out and out mountaineer-
ing is often a greater bother than the tent.
I learned my camping science through act-
ual‘ experience, and as I prOgressed in
kndwledge, I commenced throWing away
superfluous baggage. You may depend on
this, that the more you carry with you
the greater will be your troubles and vexa-
tions. The science of camping out is” to
learn to do with .as little as possible. I
reduced my camp kitchen at last to a frying
pan, coffee pot, tin cup and small tin pail.
“My camp grounds forfisix months were in
the primeval forests of the upper Sierra
Nevadas. You must have a genuine wild
country to enjoy life out of doors to per-
fection. It is a second—hand article to camp
on or near cultivated lands, and be arrested
maybe, for burning a few rotten'sticks of
timber. Better live in the house in the land
of houses. In choosing a good camping
spot you must have three things—grass for
4 o’clock in the afternoon it’s never safe in
an unknown country to pass by a spot
combining the sethree requisites and take the
chances of finding another. More than‘once
Icame to grief by pushing on in order to
make a few miles, and at nightfall find
myself miles from a spring. We human
beings, little as we may need, are cumbrous
creatures, and dreadfully hedged in by all
SOl'lS’Of wants. What an advantage it would
be if an army could travel with no more
baggage than a flock of wild geese. Nor is
a tolerably decent camping place so aesily
found in a wild country. I had to learn, for
instance, to guard against dead trees. Old
forests are full of them. It’s unpleasant,
after unpacking and mayhap having just
eaten your surroundings with that comfort
and interest which comes after a hearty meal.
to see some rotten forest giant leaning.
threateningly in your direction and appar-
ently ready to tumble; or to glance upwards
and find an immense dead limb snapped off
and hanging over you by a splinter, like the
sword of Democles. Two or three times I
had my camp more or less burned up from
making the fire in beds of dead leaves. It
hurries one back from an evening stroll to
see a suspicious cloud of smoke floating off
from the direction of your temporary home
and to know that that your blankets an saddle
are in the midst of it. ‘ ,
When I; was green at camping I was al-
ways losing my things in the grass. No
place more than out of doors demands a place
for everything and everything in its place.
You lay your knife carelessly upon the
ground and it’s gone—forever. Ditto your
match box. Nice predicament for a man to
be 20 miles from the nearest house without
matches. I systematized things at, last by
means of a system of little bags. Sugar,
salt, pepper, tea, coffee, meal and bread had
each a separate bag, and my first-move on
unpacking was to pick out a spot, tread the
grass down and range these bags in a line
upon it. I had a bag for everything, even
to dry kindlings, and no bag was ever al-
lowed to stir from its place. Another of the
green camper’s perils is that of having his
camp swept by the horse’s picket line or lar-
iat. You tether nim unthinkingly near you,
and perhaps just as your solitary supper is
ready, your horse concludes to make a move
to get a fresh bite and his taut line comes
sweeping over your camp, upsetting the cof-
fee pot, dragging the fire about and possibly
carrying you along with the rest of the
debris. Yes there are a great many little
things to be learned in camping out. Most
boys on starting out carry a pound or so of'
iron in the shape of a revoiver slung at the
waist. I soon learned to discard that and
may the pistol once, and it won’t go off by
accident and shoot you or anybody else.
Your hatchet in the waist belt is always on
hand to chop tent pegs or poles, to chip o'fi
bark for fuel, to cut green willow sticks for
broiling meat on over live coals, andin case
of danger it’s no ccntemptible weapon for
attack or defence. Tons and tons of iron in
the shape of six—shooters have been‘carried
by men in unsettled countries, and where
one has been of any real service ten have

NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, TUESDAY, AUGUST 31 , 1 880. '
Do not the following timely admonitious
to parents in “western villages” from the
New York Tribune bear equally valuable
suggestions to many a Norwalk mother ?
A Plain Word or Two.
Some recent events in Western villages
make timely alfew plain words about the con-
dition of that large class of young girls, the
daughters of small farmers, tradesmpn, me—
chanics, and shopkeepers in inland towns.
They have, as a rule, honest blood in their
veins. Their father is hard at work now in
field or shop; their mother is drudging just
as hard in the kitchen; they live scantily,
and save every penny to “give the children
a “lift in the world.” To accomplish this,
the boys are pushed through the high school
or some local college, and then sent out West
with a profession or a trade; the girls are
given two or three years at school. With that
their preparation for life stops short.
In France, a farmer’s daughter of this rank
becomes the head of the dairy (as our far—'
mers’ daughters did two generations ago.)
She knows nothing about decorating ginger
jars or strumming waltzes on the piano. but
she turns out of her skillful fingers delicate
cheese and butter, which command the high—
est price in the Paris and London markets.
“American butter,” says the last report
does not rank high, because it is handled by
machinery ; the Breton is worked by manip-
ulation.” So high do the Breton dairies
rank, simbly in consequence of the personal
supervision of them by the farmers’ Wives
and daughters—women with intelligence as
well as hands—that it is not uncommon for
a dairymau to give his daughter a dower of
from $15,000 to $20,000; muCh of it" the
product of her own skill in detail work and
management. This great industry in its
higher branches is open to the class of which
we write. In Germany a girl ‘of this class
and of classes much more elevated is carefully
taught domestic duties, and expected also to
practice them. In the Scandinavian nations
she is taught work in her school; is brought
to confirmation, and thenceforward the good
pastor of the village with her parents watches
over the maid to keep her modest and de-
vout.
gNow, what is a girl of this class in this
cOuutry taught to do? The affection of her
father contents itself in supplying her with
cheap finery, which she befrills and ties back
after the latest Worth design; her mother, in
‘nine cases out of ten, stands between her and
work of any kind, drudgcs herself and turns
the girl loose to have a good time and to catch
a‘bcau. The girl herself, though innately
virtuous, truthful and disposed to religion by
the time she has dawdled away three or four
idle years, filled her ignorant brain with the
literature of the cheap story papers, and car-
ried on a dozen romping flirtatious, is coarse,
blatant, and pert beyond the tolerance of de—
cent' people. She has just enough schooling
to enable her to look down upon her old
father and mother; she has no trade, no
employment, no object in life except to be
married. If she had fortunately belonged
to‘ a lower rank in life, she would have had
to learn industrious habits by working for
her living; if she belonged to a higher rank,
she would feel the necessity of self cultiva—
tiOn, she would learn to use both heads and
hands in music, art, in the thousand duties
and accomplishments which belong to a
refined woman. But our poor girl is neither
the, useful nor ornamental butterfly. She
goes, as we have seen, alone with young men
to circuses and camp meetings, and nobody
thinks any harm of it. Ruin, as in the
cases we have noted, does not often follow
it.‘ But the coarsening and vulgarizing of
this layer of our social life is the inevitable=
result. We wish to be understood. There
are no more virtuous women than the Amer-
ican ; this unlicensed freedom granted to
our young girls is a sign that we all believe
that. But the freedom is being carried a
little too far. Let us have modesty as well
as virtue.
Every class of women has its defect. The
defect in this makes not in any inferiority
of ‘morals or intellect, but simply in that
they have reached that stage of development
when they are idle. They are not elevated
encugh to work with their heads ; they have
leained to despise household labor as menial;
and none other offers to them in the country
If compelled to earn their living, they crowd

would welcome an intelligent, modest, ex-
pert American girl as housekeeper, cook, or
waitress, would give her a secluded home,
substitute a hatchet. You will use the ,high wages, a luxurious table, and, most

iably prefer to enter mills, to run sewing
machines, or to take places as unskilled shop
girls on wages that range from $2 to $4 per
week ; to lodge in garrets and live on star-
vation fare. It is out of the ranks of these
girls that the lowest depths of infamy in our
.cities are filled.
The cure for the defect seems to be that
fathers and mothers should take better care
of their daughters. Give a girl as well as a
boy work of their own, and let it be done
under their father’s roof and. their mother’s
eye. Give to them an old-fashioned faith and
skill in downright work; and whether you
he farmer, tradesmen, or laborer, surround
your little daughter from her cradle with the-
protection, the honor, and the modesties
due to her as a woman. You- will. have
__done more. than you can measure to civilize
and refine the class to which she belongs.
The Origin of “0. K.”
In answer to an inquiry for the origin of
“0. K.," the Richmond Dispatch has the
following; Brewer says: “0. K., all cor-
rect.” He then quotes as follows : “You are
{quite safe now, and we shall be OR in Q
hurry,” says Harry. “The door is locked
and the guard O. K."——B. H. Balaton, “Jen-
'm'e’lof the Prince‘s,” at, 302. But we had al
ways supposed that the use of “0. K.” for
"all correct," originated with Jack Down—
ing, a writer of much fame or notoriety dur.
ing General Jackson’s term as. President of
the" United States. Downing spelled not
much more correctly than Mozis Addums
does, and represented General Jackson as
bei'ng' equally. as illiterate as himself. In
telling how the President approved the vari—
ous“ papers presented to him for his
signature, Downing stated that his custom
was, after examining and deciding to ap—
prcve them,to indorse upon the back of them
“Q; 1;. Andrew Jackson.” And he explain-
ed that the letters “0. K.” were merely an
abbreviation of the words “011 Korrect."
And this hit at General Jackson’s spelling
was in keeping with Downiug’s usual mis-
representations of the old hero’s acts. For
example, Dewning, who claimed to be an
intimate friend and traveling companion of
General Jackson’s, stated in one of his let—
ters that he had persuaded the, General,while
en route to New York, that it 'was absolutely
neéessary for him to quote a little Latin in
his reception speech. Accordinglysut a
certain point in the General’s speech on the
Battery, Downing whispered to him: “Now
is the time; give it to ’em, General.” and
greatly to the amazement of the crowd, the
General broke out with, “E pluribus unum,
flm'facias, habeas corpus, do, bomb non,”
etc... etc. .

Macaulay’s Prophecy.
From (1 Speech in the House of Representa-
Garfield.
Mr. Chairman, I am a profound. I might
almost say, a devout believer in the Ameri-
can idea, that the consent of the governed is
the only true source of national authority,
and is the safest and firmest foundation on
whlch to build a Government. This is the
fundamental axiom of (it political faith.
To question it, is moral treason. To deny it,
is political atheism. But we must not for—
get that a majority, perhaps a large majority,
of the thinkers and writers of Europe declare
that our axiom is no axiom, but is a delusion,
a fatal mistake. _
In view of this fact I wish to turn for a
moment to a wider and more serious consid-
eration of a question closely connected with
the topic I am discussing, a question which
" has painfully forced itself on my mind dur-
'ing the last twelve months. I refer to a let
ter written by the late Lord Macaulay, which
probably contains the most powerful indict—
ment ever penned against the democratic
principle. 1 will not read the letter in full,
but will state in brief its substance.
When the life of Thomas Jefierson was
written by S. S. Randall, a distinguished
citizen of New York, a copy was sent to the
great'British historian. Macaulay answered,
thanking the author for the volumes, but re-
marked that he had no admiration for Jeffer-
son. ,The American expressed his surprise
and desired to know the reasons. Thereupon-
Macaulay, on the 23d day of May, 1857, just
twenty-one years ago, Wrote this letter, in
which he gave hisreasons for not believing
that Thomas Jefferson was a benefactor of
his country or of mankind. j His reasons
were these: “I do not believe,” said he,
“that it is possible to establish institutions
that will be permanent, based upon the votes
_of people, counted by the head. That pro—'
ceeds upon the supposition that the rich and
the poor, the wise and the ignorant, the vir-
tuous and the vicious, are all. ebunted as
equal and endowed with equal political
power. That, ” said he, “is the fatal vice of
the institutions that Jefierson founded. Now
your country can prosper so long as you have
spaces of unoccupied land, a great West, for
your surplus population; but the time will
come'in your history, when New England
will be as thickly populated as Old England;
when there will be no more fertile, unoccu—
pied lands for your expanding population.
“Then will come the real strain and test of
your institutions. There will be periods of
scarcity and distress. Thousands of laborers
will be out of work and men will begin to
say there . is no justice in allowing one man
to have a million while another man has not
ameal ;, no justice in letting one man ride in
his carriage and dine sumptuously while an-
other hears his' children cry for bread. And
when that hour comes your Government will
be brought to its'final and fatal test.- Then
a discontented, hopeless, starving majority
will elect the Governors of your States, the
members of your Legislatures, and your
President; and then, I fear, if not in this
century, certainly in the next, your country
will be as fearfully ravaged as was the RO-
mau Empire by the Huus and Vandals of
the fifth century ; only with this difference:
Your Huns and Vandals will have been
engendered by your own institutions. Your
Constitution [he says] is all sail and no an-
chor. There is nothing to stay you. I wish
you might have a better fate, but my wishes
and my reason are at war. And therefore,
behaving your fate is certain, I cannot cou-
gratulate you upon Thomas Jefferson and
'the doctrines he taught.”
Such, in substance, is the indictment and
prophecy which America must answer. With
my whole soul I repel the indictment. Every
instinct and conviction of my life denounces
the prophecy as false. But what thoughtful
man in all our land,who had read that letter,
did not remember it last summer, when ten
millions of Americans trembled in the bal-
ance Of uncertainty for days, not knowing
whether the torch and blood would mark the
pathway of anarchy across our continent, or
order and peace would rule ? What man, I
say, reflected upon the events of that terrible
period without remembering the prophecy of
Macaulay, and asking himself whether the
grounds of his faith in the stability of his
country was estabished on a sure foundation?
1 say again, I reject the doctrine of Mac-
aulay. I endeavored five years ago, as best
I might, to answer it. Perhaps it was a rash
attempt ; but I based my answer on two
grounds:
The first was that Macaulay took no ac-
count of the tremendous power of our edu-
cational forces. He did not know, he could
not know the almost omnipotent power of
universal education to enlighten and ennoble
our people and fit them for the liberties and
duties of American citizenship. In this
rests our hope; and while the light of our
schools shines undimmed and unclouded
upon all our children we may safely count
upon centuries of liberty and safety.
My second ground was this: That Mac-
aulay did not know, and it is hardly possible
for any one reared under monarchical insti—
tutions to‘understand, that here in America
there are no fixed and permanent classes. In
all aristocracies society is organized on the
principle of permanent classes, fixed and
rigid as the layers of rock that form the
earth’s crust. At the bottom, under the
superincumbent weight of all their institu-
tions and population, are the laboring poor.
The editor of an English periodical uttered a
sentence, a few years ago, which makes the
blood run cold. It was this. Said he :
"I have studied the agricultural laborers of
my country carefully for twenty—five years,
and I have never known one who was born
and reared in the ranks of mere farm labor-
ers that ever rose above his class and became
a well to-do citizen."
Remember that half the population of
England are agriculturalists, and the laborers
in that class amount to not less three or four
millions ; they have above them the landlords,
and above them the several ranks of nobility,
and above them the royal family. The
barriers are well-nigh impassable. But,
thank God, and thank the founders of our
Republic and the later patriots who have
made the truth of the Declaration of Inde—
pendence a reality, here in America there
are no classes.
Our society does not resemble the crust of
the earth with its impassable barriers of rock;
but resembles rather the waters of the mighty
sea, deep, broad, boundless, but so free in all
its parts that the drop which mingles with
the'sand at its bottom is free to rise through
all the mass of waters till it flashes in the
light on the crest of the highest wave.
[Applause]. .
There is no boy in America, however
humble his birth or in whatever depth of
poverty his lot may be cast, who, if he has a
strong arm, a clear head, and a brave heart,
may not rise by the light of our schools and

This is my answer. For these reasons I
do not fear the Cassandra prophecy of Mac—

Cameraman—Seeing an inquiry ill the
home department for a- cure for chilblalns, I
venture to send a recipe which I have trled
and never found. it to fail. Take murlatlc
acid, and apply it with a feather, taking care
to keep it off the clothing, as it would burn
them. It stops the itching immediately-and
a second application effects a cure—Chicago

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-—A few weeks ago
it was stated in the Waehington dispatches
of the TRIBUNE, iu commenting on the fact
that Senator Wallace was holding out the
promise that the Democrats would not dis—
turb Union soldiers, that as soon as the Dem-
ocrats came intopower in the two branches
of Congress they did discharge the Union
soldiers. It was further stated that in the
Senate this matter was decided in a caucus,
of which Senator Wallace himself was
chairman. Lastly, the fact was stated that
Wallace himself lhad discharged a Union
soldier, who was clerk of his committee, to
make room for his own son. Several Demo-
cratic papers have repeatedly denied these-
statements, all of which are tnie.
The following is a list of Union soldiers
removed at the Capitol, and of Rebel soldiers
appointed there since the Democrats came
into power:

Judge Tourgee and his Wife.
Although “A Fool’s Errand” was published
last winter, it is still selling at the rate of
2,500 copies a week. They even read it in
the Solid South. A gentleman some time
ago went into a doctor's ofilce in Greensboro,
N. 0., so unexpectedly that the medical gen-
tleman tried to hide a book he was reading.
It was “The Fool’s Errand." Being rather
pushed into the corner by inquisitive ques-
tions, the doctor confessed that lie was in-
tensely. interested in it, and that he was
really reading it for the the third time. The
strangest part of all is that the North
Carolinians do not fly into a rage over the
book, but on the whole are said rather to
enjoy it. They take the stories of the Ku—
Klux fiendishness and other attrocities as a
compliment to the unconquerable spirit of
the South. The “Verdeuton” of the book is
Greensboro, N. C. “Warrington” is the
plantation upon which Judge Tourgee set-
tled. He went to stay. He was in no sense
of the word a carpet-bagger.- He went, as
he says, “forgetful _of the fact that the
social conditions of three hundred years are
not to be overthrown in a moment." His
wife, a refined, accomplished woman, accom-
panied him, like himself full of hope and
courage.
This is how they lived after they got there.
When Mrs. Tourgee went_along the streets of
Greensboro, the women of that town made a
wide circuit around her, and gathered back
their clothes as if they were afraid of touch-
ing her. All that impotent female spite copld
do to poison her existence was done, Soclal-
ly, she lived in an isolation as temble as if
she had been the old 1ndlan woman on her
Santa Barbara Island. Southern ladies often
come North, nowadays. to Visit here in Cin—
cinnati and elsewhere. They_ are made as
welcome, and mad: tae ‘feclplentsfotfh as
man graceful socia a on mm as l ere
ueveyr had beer; a war between the North and
South, and as if, indeed, the North had
never beaten the South in a fan fight. But
Mrésglf‘ourgee, a lady as refined. as delicately
brediis’fany woman in the land, went among
South‘él’n people, and only because she was
from the North was put upon .a .level with
“niggers.” Perhaps. however;thls ls a prpper
manifestation of the “unconquerable splrlt”
Carolinians lor in.
The domgsticy'happiness the “Fool” and
his wife enjoyed may be inferred from the
fact that whenever Judge Tourgee started
out to attend Court Mrs. Tourgee never
dared feel any canfldence that he would
come back alive. He was a Northern map,
and a Republican who dared to say so 111
what he supposed to be a free country. For
this reason he was upiversally hated.
Attempts were made to klll mm. A plot to
same manner as described in the story. He
escaped it by following the road his horse
chose.
A man who knew him well at Greensboro,
and who lived there when he did, says he
received stacks of anonymous '_letters from
the “Regulators," threatening'hls life. They
were profusely decorated mth coffins, skulls
and cross-bones. Black meu,aud white ones
too, used frequently to creep secretly to his
hohse, with their backs all bleeding from the
Ku-Klux bull vwbip. They had been dragged
from their beds in the» dead of night, and
thus cruelly Med—Cincinnati 0 ,

A Female Botany Bay.
‘Acorrespondent of the St. Paul Pioneer
Press writes from the White Mountains:
There is one very odd characteristic of social
life at the White Mountains; there are—I
speak with calm accuracy—more than ten
women to one man on an average. At the
Howard House there is such a sweet super-
fluity of the gentle sex that Mr. Bunker, Who
has an eye to symmetry, thinks ‘of advertis—
ing for single gentlemen only. About half
the ladies have left their husbands in New '
York, Boston, Philadelphia, and nearly all
the rest are without such incumbrances. The
other evening in the parlor I found myself
deep in- the amusing entanglements of
charades and “ verbatien ” with fourteen
ladies—a double dose of the delightful me-
nace and prophecy of Scripture. At the Sin-
clair and Maplewood it is just the same— ‘
ten or twenty ladies sitting side by side at
table, and the balconies, efiervescing with
Swiss muslin and bubbling over with irrides-
cent ribbons and zepbyr films. I looked in at
a hop the other night, and there were seven
couples on the floor waltzing—not a man
among them all! And I asked myself, “Is
this a female Botany Bay ? A place of pleas-
ant penal servitude to which meek wives are
sent while their gay lords go on a lark some-
where else ?" ‘

An elephantiue reporter of the Cincinnati
Gazette hasbeen interviewing the last addition
to the zoological garden in the shape of a big
elephant, with the following result: “Glad
to see you, old girl—good morning l” the re
porter said. “Oh, get away," laughed the
watchman, “he do not understand English—
he’s a Sherman; he’s from de old coundry.”
The reporter lifted his cane and softly rubbed
the protruding trunk of the elephant with it.
“Nein, uein,” the watchman said, in a cor~
recting tone, “don’t do dat. Vat is it you
call dat ting ?" “A trunk,” explained the
reporter. “Yah, dat’s it. Vell, I’ll tell you
—fool mit dat elevantine’s drunk, and you

A. S. Morrison, of Chicago, chairman of
the National Committee of the Irish Ameri .
can Association, at a large meeting of the"
Irishman lately held in New York, said:
“Until very recently the Democratic leaders
had only to know how many Irishmen lived
in a certain district to know what the Demo-
cratic majority would be. The leaders lock
upon thelrish as so many cattle. By being
thus under the absolute control of the De-
mocracy we have lost all position we might
have made as irishmen; for thirty years they
have done with us as they pleased. * *
‘ I have heard Irishlnen say, and I am sorry
for it, 'I would vote for the devil if he was
nominated on the Democratic tlcket,’ and I
believe they would, and that in many cases
they would not come far from; it. It is said
that there are no Irishman outside the Demo-
cratic party, but we have organized here to
show that this is not so. We will prove
that there are Irishmeu who will not how-
dowu to the Democratic idol, nor worship it.
The Democratic party favors that of free
trade, the law that made Irishmeu poor.
The English adopled it, and it was death to
Irish industry. What has Irish industry
amounted to since 1821? Free trade will
bring goods not only from France and Eng-
- land, but from Belgium, where workingmeu
can liVe on live and six cents a day;
and if that happens, what will become of
the working Il-isllmcn in America ?
