A Frank Confession.
A correspondent of the Charleston.
S. C, N«ws and Courier, writing from
Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, lias this to say
of the ignorance of tho people of the
Northwest upon the condition of the
South and the temper of tho Southern
people:
I presume I am safe in saying that
you have not a sunscriber ia our State.
I might almost remark that it is cotisid
ered a sort of deflection from personal
rectitude to take a Southern Journal up
herein the Hawkeye State, wnich peri
odically rolls up the 50,000 Republican
majority.
the ignorance Up here in the North
about your affairs, your social, political
and economic relations and conditions,
is simply without limit, and what is
worse tuan all. no one seems disposed
to make any effort to inform themselves;
hence it is corapara'ively easy for all
that butch of ‘‘bull-dozing” twaddle to
obtain easy credence on the eve ot ev
ery election, and so “fire the Northern
heart.”
The average voter up heroha9 really
no opinion of you Southern people
which he does not obluiu from “jack-
leg” politician s and gentlemen who go
about instrucing the people on South
ern claims with their mouths full of
wordy patriotism and their eyes full of
appointment in futuro to some fat of
fice.
I believe I am safe in saying that the
reason of this want of information
about the South is due almost wholly
to the fact that the current literature of
the South has no place in men’s minds
outside of the South. The old Mason
and Dixon line still exists in litera
ture, at least, more strongly and clearly
defined than ever, and uutill this bar
rier of prejudice is removed, those fra
ternal relations with the South which
existed before the war will be impossi
ble.
A right understanding with the South
and a correct estimation of their new
relations to the Uuiou, now that the
sectional labor system is ubolishnd, and
a right appreciation of the difficulties
under which it labors, in the solution of
what is known as the Southern Ques
tion, can never be had until its litera
ture is read in the North.'
Thoughtful men are to-day in the
•'orth extremely fearful of the return to
power of what is known as Grantism
jliey gee in the return of such men as
bigtn, Conklin'. Zick Chandler, Robe
son H al t ) our N itimml Congress indi
cations of tne el-ct ton of Gen. Grunt for
1 resident in 1880. This is another
reason why men up here should in-
lorm themselves ot your needs, society
and thought, so as to check a “strong
government i n the South,” which the
election of Grant insures, and unless
the masses North are informed, a reps-
°f the Grant regime of 72 is pos
Hilled for Insurance Honey.
Mention has been made of the drown
ing, last December, in a shallow stream
near Lebanon, Pa., of a man named
Haber, and the subsequent arrest of
several persons on the uharge of con
spiring to kill him, the object being to
obtain about 86,000 insurance on his
life. On Wednesday a hearing was
had at L-banon, on a writ of nabeas
corpus, asking the discharge of Brandt,
Wise, Hummel and Z -ckman, co-pris
oners with Drews and Stechier, the
tunposed principals in the affair.
Among the witnesses was Peter, the
son-in-law of Drews, wbo testified that
Brandt had offered him two hundred
dollars to go into the conspiracy, at d
that he had seen the drowning from the
garret of his father-in-law’s house. Said
ne:
“On the eveniug of December 7,1878.
myself and wife were up in the garret
• if Drews’ house. About five o’clock
we looked out of the window and saw
Drews, Ruber and Stechlor going to the
creek. I said to my wife, ‘Now they
tre going to kill Rtber.’ She said.
Come away from the window,’ but I
remaineu’ Tne parties then walked on
the plank that crosses the creek, when
•Sieohler took hold of Haber’s legs and
jerked him in the water. This is all
I saw, as the bushes surround’ng the
creek him them from view. About hal
in hour alter they came to the house,
when my wife and I went down stairs,
rftechler was all wet. Drews gave him
change of clothing, even to slookings,
and put the wet clothes behind the
stove, and said if any one came in, to
hide tne clothes. They said Ruber was
very strong, and that they could hardly
hold him under the water.'’
Mrs. Peters testified to hearing her
father (Drews) talking of tho affair in
the family, and was told if she said
anything she would be shot. Other
testimony was given, going to show
that Drews offered one hundred do’lars
to Stechler’s brother to do the deed,
and that »n attempt had been made to
bribe the coroner’s jury. The prisoners
were all remanded to jail for trial at
the April session.

For courage and other warlike qual
ities the Zulus may fairly be called the
Afghans of Africa, and many of their
recorded exploits would do credit to
any trained soldier. Some few years
ago a Zulu hunter, hearing a young
British officer speak somewhat lightly
of native prowess, offered to give him a
specimen of it by killing single -handed
a huge lion which infested the neigh
borhood. The challenge was Accepted,
and the brave fellow at once set forth
upon his dangerous errand, the officer
and several of his comradeB following
at a distance. Having drawn the beast
from his lair, the hunter woundeJ him
with a well-flung spear, and instantly
fell flat on the ground beneath his huge
shield of rhinoceros hide, which cover
ed his whole body like the lid of a dish.
The lion, having vainly expended his
fury upon it, at length drew back a few
panes. Instantly the shield arose again,
a second laoce struck him, and his fu
rious rush encountered only the im-.

ELLIOTT. Gan’l Sunt
Orvil Grant’s lirazy Idea.
Orvil Grant, says a Washington cor
respondent to the Hartford Times, has
beau in town for several days, having
been released from the New Jersey luna
tic asylum. He is worse than ever, and
has more money schemes in hand even
than Colonel Mulberry Sellers. One of
Orvil’s graud schemes is to get all the
Hotels of the country in a combination
which he is to manage. He intends to
feed the guests ot the same on the cheap
est kiad of food, and take all the profits
for himself and the combination. He
-ays he will keep the guests from kicking
when they learn that they cannot get any
hotter eating at any other place. Be
sides this, which is a mere side specula
tion, he has an improvement in the man
ner of trotting horses which will make it
possible for a pair of ordinary road plugs
to go over a mile in 2:10 or less._ He
proposes to make fait horses go inside of
two minutes. He intends to sell the
right to the use of this improvement for
81,000 to each and every owner of horses.
His calculation is that from horses alone
no will make four millions more. Be
sides talking incessantly, he harms no one
and has the sympathy of all who know
him. He never refers to his brother,
General Grant, or mixes in any way in
political matters. He says since his
mind is engrossed in bnsiness he has no
time to devote to politics.
Not a Fool.
The other morning a straight-haired
young man entered a saloon on the river
road, and asked the man who was trying
to start afire, if he had seen anything of
a lost calf.
L .ok anything like you ?” snapped
the man in reply.
Tho young man looked at the questiou
er a long time, aud went out without re-
plyiug. He returned in the course of
threo hours, however, aud, takiug off his
coat, he said :
“See here mister, I’m no fool! I’ve
been thinking of what you said this morn
ing, and I just believe you meant sura
thin! If you did, just come out here
while I make you head acho!”
The bar keeper coat meed him that
nothing was meant, arid tho young man
put on his coat, and again sought the trail
of the lest calf.
The Philadelphia Record says a num
her of members of the Reformed Epis
copal Church in that city propose to
discontinue the observance of Lent ns
a season of fasting. They urge that tho
indulgence in worldly pleasure before
and after Lent is increased by way of
oompensatioa for enforced absten ion
during the season of fasting; while they
also urge that uniform moderation of
life is the church’s great need, and that
this may be better secured without Lea
ten observances than with them.
We print to-day the Congressional
Record’s report of the manly and spirit
ed remarks of Congressman Aikeu in the
House of Representatives last Friday.
There is no doubt that he expresses
truthfully the sentiments of the people
in South Carolina, both in declaring their
hostility to the so called VVar claims, and
in asserting their strength and union in
def>-noe of the Government and for the
protection of the Treasury.—Charleston
News and Courier,
lion crouched close beside his -ambush
ed enemy, as if meditating a siege; but
the wily Bavage raised the further end
of the shield just enough to let him
creep noiselessly away into the dark
ness, leaving his buckler unmoved. Ar
rived at u safe distance, lie leveled his
third spear at the broad, yellow flank
of the royal beast with such unerring
aim as to lay him dead on the spot,
and then returned composedly to re
ceive the apologies and congratulations
of the wondering spectators.
Peace, With Honor.
The following has been circulated
among the Commercial Exchanges of
England:
In Memorium.
Sacred to the Memory of the late
Brisk Trade, Esq ,
who shuffisd off this mortal coil in the
early Autumn, 1878.
The deceased gentleman, who had been
gradually declining for four years,
was greatly beloved by all who
knew him, and his depart
ure was widely and
loudly lamented.
His obsequies were largely attended by
the general publio, and by his
sorrowful relative, the
Money Family.
His end was “Peace, with Honor.”
Five hundred fresh pardons, of the
French communists are expected to be
deolared shoitly, M. Gambetta address
ing a deputation from Belleville to-day,
declared “the public being now estab
lished, it was the task of the republl-
canda to make productive and res
torative. There was no longer any rea
son to tear obstancles raised by the
eactionary party. The republicans
must, however, resist the spirit of impa
tience and temerity, and continue to aot
in accordance with the views of expe
diency.”
The annual convention of Hebrew
congregations at Cincinnati last summer
referred the subject of formiog Jewish
coiouies in the South or West to a com
mittee, whose report is just published.
They are deoidedty in favor of the plan,
especially for their brethren in Eastern
Southern Europe. The board ot dele
gates on civil and religious rights is in
structed to take step to co-operate with
sister societies in Europe to encourage the
Jews there ia the pursuit of agriculture,
and to settle lands in the Southern and
Western part of the United States.
“The Chinese must go.” And if they
go in disgrace it is certain that they
will never come back. At least, that is
the conclusion arrived at by the Facul-
y of a Massachusetts educational in
stitution. One of their pupils, a China
man, is being educated at the cost of
the Chinese Government, and, being
midi what backward in his studies, his
ca- e was duly reported to the authori
ties at Pekin, In due time, there ar
rived an imnerial mandate whioh read:
“Send him home and we will cut off
his head
Some of the officers of the old Third
Cavalry Division, which performed
many heroic deeds under command of
Gen. Cus’er, are indignant at the re
ported statements in the testimony of
Major Reno before the court at Chicago
that he had no confidence in Gen. Cue
ter as a soldier. These gentlemen char
acterize the oharge as cowardly and un
justifiable, as Gen. Custer’s reputation
was perfectly established and oould not
be injured by one on trial on the charge
of cowardice.
In a recent interview with a Cincin
nati reporter, Mr. Pullman said his
company now operated ia this country
and Europe about eight hundred cars,
of aa average value of 114,000 apiece,
or a total of 311,200,000, the oaoital
.■took of the company being 86,000,000.
The first Pullman car was built twenty
years ago, and was run on the Chicago
and Alton railroad.
