But then, tew juries can be found that would give a verdict against a comely voting widow. A few newspapers profess to tind a go.nl many i*olitieal straws which indi cate a growing sentiment in favor of the nomination of the “old ticket." Several N, \\ York Democrats have openly de clared lately that the “fraud issue” was the only issue that would insure auoceas. la the meantime the New York Suit con tinue- to boom Holman.

Neither Mahone. of Virginia, nor Cooper, ot Pennsylvania, has been able to frighten them into giving up any of their cash for political purposes. It is doubtful, however, if any of them ac knowledge how much they owe Pendleton. It i- stated that the clerks in the de partments at Washington are not resiumd ing w ith the usual alacrity to the appeals of the Republican committees for con tributions. There seems to be wisdom in their husbanding the spare dollars they can save from their salaries: and as the days of their party are numbered, there is no use in wasting that which they will soon need to sustain them while looking for new situations. A reunion of tin- commands of Generals Forrest and Morgan will le held at Galla tin. Tenn., during the autumn of 18*4.

No right thinking man of any section or party can forbid them that solemnly delightful re newal of old memories and friendships, aud the exchanging of narratives of ‘•hairbreadth ’scapes in the imiuineut. deadly breach." The greed of the New York city licni crats tor office is so great that it is about impossible for the factions into which they are divided to act harmoniously. A couple of weeks ago they agreed to forget their differences and work for the success of the party. 'Then the time came for parceling out the county honors each fac tion wanted the lion’s share. They are now lighting each other, and are, of course, playing into the hands of the Re publicans. Appeals for union and har mony are without effect. it the Congress of Women which met in its eleventh annual session last week in Chicago could have its way. black mourning dresses would lie seen no more. The employment of black as a color for mourning was condemned by the con gress. and a resolution was adopted de claring that a custom which surrounded death with gloom, and w hich expressed hopeiessness and despair, should Is- aban doned. The custom is so deeply rooted in the minds of Christian people, however, that It will require many resolutions and •ougresses to abolish it. The new picture of President Arthur has been placed so that it can be seen to the best advantage in the White House. A correspondent says that “it represents our finely firmed Chief Magistrate de scending a number of steps and nearlv at the bottom, in a moving attitude, so to sjteak, with a book in one hand, the other carried so as to give the first gentleman In the land a decidedly striking appear ance. Into the picture is thrown an ex quisitely asthetic idea in the shape of a cluster of red rosebuds, apparently just fallen upon the marble step ujon which rests one toot of our President." Evi dently Mr. Arthur was determined to lie distinguished in some way. He could not have been appropriately represented as a statesman or a warrior, but who will deny him the position of prince of the esthetes ? A New Park Project. Americans who have not traveled I abroad labor under the impression that the great parks of the world are in this country. This is a mistake. Central Park in New York, Fairmount in Phila delphia. Druid Hill in Baltimore, and Lake Side in Chicago are very fine, and are the pride of the cities in which they are located, but they are not to be com pared to those of Europe. The govern- | ments of Europe have been very careful : to provide places where the people of the , great cities can. in their hours of leisure. , • •njoy the sight of trees and gre*-n grass, hear the songs ot birds and breathe the , fresh air. They understand the advantages ..f parks, and know from experience that ; -money spent on them is not thrown away. The late Dr. Arnold used to call our pret ty little parks “the lungs of the town.” i Forsyth Place is pretty, and its attrac- i lions are fully appreciated. We are in debted to the late Mr. Hodgson for it. He was an honored and public-spirited citi- , zen. It is. however, too small for our wants. The time has come for making preparations for a park worthy of the future of the city. The twenty-six little public squares which are scattered about the city answer a go*d purpose, but they ' don’t answer the same purpose that a | large park does. Savannah is, per haps. better off in the way of j parks than any city of her wlass in the country. That is no reason, however, why she should not increase her attractions. We wish to suggest a liue of action tor the City Council in this mat ter. The city has still thirteen city lots, all or which are quite valuable. At pub lic auction they would sell lor at least $1,500 apiece. For the money realized from them 2.<ri acres of land suitable for park purposes, and w ithin from one to three miles of the extended city limits, could fie obtained. One-halt of the tract should lie set apart for a park, and the other half should lie divided into building lots. We advise that the land be bought now, be cause it can lie bought cheap. It will not occasion the city any excuse. All that will lie necessary in the way of improve ments for years will be to cut a few roads through it. and. perhaps, plant a few trees. It may lie that land can be bad that has all the trees necessary. In time in our opinion in a very few years—there would be a demand for the lots, and they would furnish the money to improve the park. There may tie some who have doubts about the future of Savannah. We are .not troubled in that way. lhe eitv has shown a steady and healthy growth for many years. Many of our citizens remember when it was quite a small town. Now it is a city of P),oiio |icople. The entire Snith is grow ing rapidly, and Savannah is certain to keep pace with that growth. Other rail wavs. seeking the sealsiard, are certain to be built here. The surrounding coun try will Is* settled up and will furnish trade. Now is the time to secure the land necessary for a park. The money to carry out our suggestion can lie ole tained in the way stated. In no other way, perhaps, will the 13 city lots ever lie of any great benefit to the city. The city administration that takes hold of this park subject will occupy as high a place in public estimation as the administration which secured the Spring field plantation. Hutchinson’s island, and other lands which are now controlled by the city in the interest of public health. A Suggestion Uespectinj; Convict La I sir. The parties entitled to the labor of the convicts of this State, either by special act or lease, are having a legal quarrel respecting their rights. The labor ot the convicts is so valuable that the parties entitled to it can afford to pay heavy law yers’ fees and legal expenses to get a few more convicts under their control, or to retain all of those they have. The Legis lature. at its last session, directed the penitentiary keeper to deliver enough convicts to the Marietta and North Geor gia Railroad Company to keep their num ber up to 280 for three years. The penitentiary companies, which lease the convicts, regard this as an infringement of their rights, and have temjiorarily enjoined the penitentiary keeper from complying with the resolution of the Legislature. The merits of the issue thus raised are now lieing considered. We are not particu larly interested in the result, hut now that the attention of the public is directed to our convict system, we think the op portunity is favorable to suggest the ad visability of abandoning the leasing sys tem and of employing the convicts in re pairing the public reads of the Ntate and in building new roads. It > has lioen said that the condition of the public roads of a country is an indication of the grade of civilization of the jieoplc. This may not hold good in all cases, but it is a fact that the public reads in any community are improved as the people grow prosperous and wealthy. A well known South Carolina gentleman | in an article, lately published, which at ■ traded a great deal or attention, showed i pretty satisfactorily that good dirt roads were of far more lienefit to many coun ties of sparsely settled regions than rail ways. In this State, as in almost all the Southern States, the reads at certain sea sons of the year are almost impassable, aud at no season are they very good. What is spent on them in read taxes and I labor required by law, together with the loss which farmers suffer on account of the additional time required to transjiort their products to market and on account of the additional labor imposed u|Mn them and their horses, would lie sufficient to maintain the convicts as well, if not liet t-r. than they are maintained now. In the course of a few years there would be good roads all over the State. To carry out our suggestion, each county would have to support a certain number of con victs a portion of each year. There is nothing that would contribute more to the mprorement of the State than good roads. The failure of Moritz Ranger, of Liver pool, who was perhaps the largest specu lator in futures in the world, is the sub ject of a good deal of talk among cotton men. So great was Moritz Ranger’s in fluence in the cotton market that it has been said that he fixed the price of cotton for the world. After a career of wonder ful success his judgment was at last at fault. This season he was on the wrong side of the market with heavy contracts, and the load became too heavy for him to carry. Mr. Ranger has large interests in New Orleans, and has been a prominent litigant in the courts of that city for years. Some of the Northern States are liegin ning to realize the extent to which the Republicans will go to perpetuate their power. In Detroit the Council have made up the registration and election boards so as to give them all the opportunities for traud they may desire. In thirty dis tricts and two whole wards the Demo crats are excluded Irom all participation or voice in the management of the elec tion. Tho past tactics of this party indi cates that it intends to carry the ap proaching election by fair means or foul, and thus enforce their unwritten iaw ex cluding the Democrats from power. A day or two ago we gave a full ac count of the cotton-picking machine in vented by T. C. Mason, of South Carolina. Our dispatches this morning say that the machine is lieing successfully operated, and that a bale of cotton, picked by the machine, w as exhibited at the Charleston Exchange yesterday and attracted great attention. If this invention sustains the claims made for it planters will be pretty independent during cotton picking season. In preparing two companies of militia for active service, tbe Governor of Texas seems to have had his trouble for nothing. The report of the threatened outbreak of negroes hail, it seems, no foundation. The Texas negroes may be displaying an ugly spirit lieeause of the civil rights decision, but the certainty ot swift punishment will prevent them from organizing to commit acts of violence.

The heads ot the departments in Wash ington seem to have recognized the fact all at once that the government wmbe- j in" robbed right ami left, and that there was need of greater vigilance on their j part. The country was startled a few days ago by tbe announcement of Mr. Dudley. Commissioner of Pensions, that an army of peusion agents was defraud ing the government and pensioners, and now it appeals that L’nited states Mar shals. in different parts of the country, and their deputies have leen fill ing their pockets with unlawful lees. A letter alleged to have been w rit ten by a former Marshal of this state to one of his deputies, in which the deputy was urged to adopt improper methods to increase his fees, was published a day or two ago. If the letter is genuine, it shows that the condition of affairs in the Marshal’s office of this State, at that time, was verv corrupt. Another in stance of corrupt practices has just lieen reported in Washington. The Special Agents of the Department of Justice say that the management of the office of the United States Marshal tor the North ern District of New Y ork has been char acterized by fraud, maladministration and general looseness. According to the report there was a regular conspiracy among the deputies, and a few informers, to defraud the government by means of illegal fees. The special agents also re port crookedness in the office of the L nited states Marshal for the Middle and South ern Districts of Alabama. The deputies robbed the government by means of false petitions and fraudulent accounts. Not long ago Sjieeial Agent Powers discover ed how deputy marshals in South Caro lina systematically defrauded the gov ernment bv seizing “sham” stills which they were instrumental in setting up. The special agents haven’t made the en tire circuit yet, and it is not improba ble that if they do their duty, more cases of crookedness will be reported. One of tbe reasons that Federal officials have been in such disfavor in the South is that tiiev have so frequently used their offices for private gain and without any regard for tho rights of the people. Arrests were made oil all sorts of lrivolous charges, not to advance the ends of justice, but to make fees. The Republican party has lieen in power so long that it is rotten. Ev i dences of its rottenness are coming to light every day. The sentiment in favor of a change is constantly growing stronger. Cl lIKIiNT COMMENT.

OSTRICHES IN FLORIDA. Au Attempt to liaise the Giant Birds for their Feathers In This Country. Xeic York Sun, A few days ago Mr. Charlton Jones, of Sylvan Lake, Florida, left this city with three pairs of fine ostriches, which he re cently received from Nubia. Mr. Jones intends to raise ostriches for their feathers. Although the climate of Florida is not quite like that %>f Nubia, yet he thinks it is very probable that the giant birds will thrive and multiply in their new dwelling place* In different places in North and South Africa there are many ostrich farms, where the birds are raised especially for their feathers. The feathers are usually cut off only once a year, hut ostriches which receive special care yield annually two and even three crops of feathers. When it is considered that os triches live from forty to fifty years, and that yearling birds yield marketable feathers, it is clear that an ostrich farm ought to lie profitable. The artificial breeding of ostriches is perhaps the best paving branch of aviculture. About three years ago chicks just out of the egg were sold at S2O to $25 apiece; at 1 month of age they brought S3O to $35: at 6 months, SOS to $ioo; at a year, SIOO to $l5O, and at 2 years about $250. A pair ot ostriches of lull age—that is, 5 years old—then com manded s3<>o to stso. But now, as the number of ostrich farms has been greatly increased, a pair of good ostriches can be bought at S2OO, The ostriches yielding the U'Kt feathers are found in North Africa, but their num- Ik-1 4 is rather insignificant. Since I*o2 the ostrich farms have great multiplied in Ca|e Colony, Natal, and the Transvaal, countries lying at the same distance from the equator as Florida. During the last twenty years the number of domestic ostriches in those countries has increased u)i to 100,000, and their yield of feathers amounts to about $4,500,000 worth. Egypt raises only alsmt $1,000,000 worth of feathers, and Algeria. Tunis and Tripoli altogether hardly SIOO,OOO worth. True, the ostrich feathers raised in the latter countries are superior to those raised in South Africa, but the difference is not very great, and the feathers of Cape Colony are often sold for those of Egypt. The hatching of ostrich chicks takes fortv-two days. The eggs are about six inches long and five inches wide, and are equal in bulk to twenty-rour hen eggs. The ostrich chick in a few days reaches the size of an ordinary hen. It iscovered with light brown down, through which, on the hack and wings, project black needles like those of the hedge hog. The chick of one month is of the size of a turkey, and its down has begun to change into minute feathers. The body of an ostrich half a year old is about the size of that of an average man. Its feathers reach a good siz.e, but they are not cast off before it (xecomes a yearling. Young ostriches are usually kept sep arate from the grow nup ones. They feed upon grass, corn and leaves. They are kept in small flocks of from twelve to fif teen birds in a place surrounded by a ditch or a fence of creeping plants. How ever insecure the fence may be, the os triches never attempt to pass it. It often happens that domestic ostriches attack men. and particularly strangers, although in the wild state they usually shun man. When attacking a man an ostrich strives to strike him with its feet. Such blows are verv dangerous. There have lieen cases in which"the spine of a horse has been broken by them. If a man has no arms to defend himself, and no way of escape, the best thing for bint to do is to throw himself on the ground, for then the ostrich cannot strike him a hard blow. When enraged, however, the ostrich does not leave its victim, but watches him un til he rises, and then furiously renews the attack. Under such circumstances a man has only one means of escape, namely, creeping to some place of safety such as a tree, a river, or a ditch. The tights among male ostriches are very savage and bloody. The males bravely defend their nests, and they sit on the eggs from sp. m. to 8 a. m., when the females take the post and remain on the nest until sp. in. While on the nest the ostrich lavs its neck on the ground, so that an inexperienced person might mistake it for a heap of earth. On leav ing tho nest even domestic ostriches make several jumps and curious motions cal culated to mislead their enemies. In case of danger ostriches try to hide themselv es in bushes or behind stones. IV ild cats, hvenas, jackals, wolves and tigers are the enemies of ostriches in their native land. The tricks to which these beasts resort in order to break the ostrich eggs are well known. Ostrich farmers usuall bait the least with poisoned meat to save their Florida abounds in alligators, which are near cousins of tbe crocodile ot the Nile. Why then may not ostriches thrive in Florida? sect. 14th, 1880.

The little hamlet of Ledyard Centre, in this State, has lost its most important factor in the death of John Newton. The township embraced many of bis broad acres, but from them the hamlet itself de rived little benefit, as John was a miser. The first money that he ever earned was for chopping wood in the pine sxvamp. The amcuut was S3O. and he immediately put it in a bank, where it has remained to the present dav, having increased to $3,000. Iu shaving notes and loaning ruonev John has accumulated a fortune of $50,000. His residence among the rocky hills of Ledvard Centre was simply’ a hovel, which is on the verge of tumbling down. As careful a miser as John was, he w as outwitted at last. Among the visitors at his father’s house when he wras a young man was a spinster named Charity Nor mal). She was a country tailoress, and went from house to bouse to replenish the men’s wardrobes for the winter. John's lather was unlike his son and loved jolly company and good clothes, and frequently Charity would be called upon to spruce up his old garments and make new ones according to tbe latest fashion. One day "Colonel Newton,” as he was called, died verv suddenly. Charity lent a helping hand to John Newton, the son, in his bereavement. Blie cooked the dinner, made the butter, and proved such a valuable housekeeper in every respect that Johu was loth to part with her. He finally persuaded her to become his vyife. However, before the wedding day had ar rived John suddenly changed his mind, and tried to get rid of her. Charity had a big brother, and to this brother she appealed for advice. He became in dignant. and in an interview with John threatened many pleasant things, among them a breach oi promise' suit, if he did not carry out his former intentions. The damage done to his sister’s heart he claimed w as s*oo worth. John considered the subject and finally concluded to save the sDNgby marrying her, which he did. A few when John’s life was draw ing to*3loee, be sent for a Philadel phia relative to whom he intended to give his property. The relative came -and be gan arranging matters with him. His wife Charity learned enough fi om their talk to convince her that certain worthless mortgages would be given her as her share, while the relative received the eash. She resolved to circumvent that little plan, and, going upstairs, she discovered John Newton's private savings bank un der tbe eaves in the garret. She found it contained SOOO in gold coin, S3OO in silver, and $27,000 in bonds and securities. She went quietly to a lawyer in Norwich for advice. Returning home she continued her household duties and later visited tbe chest in the attic, taking with her a big dinner pot, and, raising the lid of the chest, she transferred the contents to her kettle and then returned to the kitchen, placing-the treasure under the sink. In the morning John Newton became aware that he was dyinjx, and, wishing to settle matters, requested that his wife go and get his chest of money. She refused, and in strong terms upbraided him for trying to take away her lawluj portion. The lawyers present became wild, as did the relative, but to all their entreaties she turned a deaf ear. She would not go for the money. Asa last resort John asked her how much she would take to relinquish all claims to the property, aud she promptly replied SIO,UW in cash. The papers were drawn up and duly signed, whereupon Charity produced the kettle and jmured out the contents before their astonished gaze. The SIO,OOO was count ed out and paid her, and hardly had the will been signed before John Newton breathed his last. Expects to Make EpaCase. Chicago Tribune. Henry Murray and wife, well-dressed colored citizens, presented themselves to an usher at a Chicago theatre Thursday evening, having In hand the coupons tor two first-class seats in the front of the lower floor. The usher, explaining that the coupons seemed to be “broken.” ex cused himself for a moment, and returned in short order with two "unbroken” cou pons and a half-dollar, which he slipped into Murray’s hand. The couple were then led to seats, which Murray at once rejected and left the house. A lawyer told him that in accepting the half-dollar he (Murray) had barred himselt from hope of redress. Murray, how’ever, ex pects to make np a case to bring before a Btate tribunal. ffuttrura HrmrDteo BEAUTY SOAP.

Bh< Is zealously devoted to her work, which Is the outcome of a life-study, and is obliged to keep six lady assistants, to help her answer the large correspondence which daily pours in upon her, each bearing its special burden of suffering, or Joy at release from It. Hei Vegetable Compound is a medicine for good and not evil purpose*. I have personally investigated it am) am satisfied of the truth of this. On account of its proven merits, it Is recommended and prescribed by the best physicians in the country. One says! “It works like a charm and saves much pain. It will cure entirely the worst form of falling of the uterus, Leucorrluea, irregular and painful Menstruation, all Ovarian Troubles, Inflammation and Ulceration, Floodings, all Displacements and the con sequent spinal weakness, and is especially adapted to tbe Change of Ufe.” It permeates every portion of the system, and gives new life and vigor. It removes faintness, flatulency, destroys all craving for stimulant?, and relieves weak ness of the stomach. It cures Bloating, Headaches, Nervous Prostration, General Debility, Sleeplessness, Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of bearing down, causing pain, weight and backache, is always permanently cured by its use. It will at all times, and under all circumstance?, act in harmony with the law that governs the female system. It costs only $L per bottle or six for $5., and is sold by druggists. Any advice required as to special. -ses, and the names of many who have been restored to perfect health by the use of the Vegetable Compound, can be obtained by addressing Mrs. P., w ith stamp for reply, at her home in Lynn, Mass. For Kidney Complaint of either sex this compound it unsurpassed ss abundant testimonials show. “Mrs. Plnkhaiu's Liver Fills,” says one writer, “are the beet in the world for the cure ot Constipation, Biliousness and Torpidity of tho liver.
