“1 presume tins is Mr. Joy, ins't

“I have been sent to yon,’' she
went on, to see if von think my son

“If your son is in jail 1 believe

railroad strikes didn't hurt the jail
business a hit.”
“My son, sir. is in San Francisco,
where the mob is ugliest,” she re
plied, showing considerable hard ei
der in her tones.
“Ah ! I beg pardon, He’s in San
Francisco, eh ? Well, if your son is
a Chinaman he’s liable to be hacked
right up at any moment,”
“My son, sir, is not a Chinaman,
sir !” she tartly, snapped.
“Well, that’s good, If he was my
hoy I'd telegraph him to walk out
into the balmy country about sixteen
miles until the riot was over. You
are a widow, 1 suppose ?”
“1 am.”
“Madam, if a men—a man—ifa
man believed he could love—love
you —and if you he —believed you
could love—love a man—would—!”
She rose right up, and she walked
right out, and she proceeded towards
home without even looking hack
once.
“Well, that’s singular," unused
the old man as he watched her
around the corner. “Now, lid 1
awaken a sudden lo\c in her heart,
or did I make her hopping mad ?
Who knows ? Such is life, and you

“State how many Hies there are in

“I can't do it, sir—they are meas

when we sat down to supper there
were flies in the butter, in the tea,
in the milk, and thousands of Hies
tumbling over the bread and cold

trunk. She wouldn’t let me take
it away, and so we had a fuss. She
tore my collar off and pushed my

there would have been no fuss.”
“Nature created the fly.and pro

“But 1 don't want 'em around

remove the impediments and clear
the bed of (lie river." With regard
to the other point the note states
that to calm anxiety of the British
Cabinet, his Imperial Majesty has
the Russian ambassador in London
to declare to Earl Derby that we
harbored no project of aggression
against Egypt. Might we not have
expected, therefore, that in strict
fairness the British govirmnent
yvould use its influence yvitli the
Khedive tc prevent him from engag
ing in direct hostilities against us. In
our last fights in the Balkans our
soldiers found themselves opposed to
Egyptian troops, and it yvill per
haps suffice to point out this fact
to justify tiie hope that if the Brit
ish government desires that its inter
ests shall he compromised by aggres
sion on our part against Egypt, it
will also use its influence there to
prevent us from being forced by the
open hostilities of the vice regal gov
ernment to take steps to prevent a
renewal of them.’’
Yiknna, August 1. —The papers
here unanimously announce that
yesterday’s council did not decide in
favor of either a general or partial
neutralization.
Count Addrassy, whose policy was
entirely approved, was empowered
to take measures for the eventual
strengthening of the troops already
cschcloned along the southern fron
tier.
The Cabinet also discussed the
cost estimated at about J1A0,000,000
florins of mobilizing four divisions
for reinforcing the troops on (lie
frontier, should that measure ke de
termined upon.
Ail official telegram from Osman
Pasha, giving an account of Tues
day’s fighting, received at Constanti

and says the Russians retreated to

Mr. Wills has shoyvn in the North
American Review for .July 1871. that
“l he quantity of for.ilo public laud
suitable “for farming purposes which
can now he “obtained by preemp
tion or at nominal “prices L com
paratively limited, if not “nearly ex'
hansled.” According to Major Pow
ell's authoritative researc’ncs into this
I most interest in" subject “there is
, not left “unsold in the whole Uni-
I ted States (except “perhaps in Tex
-1 as or the Indian Territory), “of land
which a poor man could turn into
“a farm, enough to make one aver
age “county in Wisconsin.” Attempts
have been made to break the force
of these startling revelations, but
A’ith not much success, it is just
as well to look the facts of our posi
lion in the face and to make up our
mindsthat we are not likely to he
allowed to escape the necessity of
of dealing with the social problems
with which wo are now confronted,
its comfortably as our fathers did.—
We must better the conditions of
life in the North and West, as they
have been bettered in England, by
sensible legislation ; and to that cud
we must make up our minds to put
better men into public life. In the
legislation of the coming era brains
will tell as well as numbers, and
those sections of the country which
send the ablest men to Congress will
be aided by stern pressure of the
public necessities to secure an indis
putable preeminence and control in
our public affairs. The public press
will be compelled ty deal with other
themes than the twaddle of partisan
criminations and recriminations. Jr
is altogether probable that the drift
of power in the immediate future of
this country will be deflected from
the direction into which it, was un
naturally forced, first by the exist**
dice of slavery a id then by the war
which grow out of the existence of
slavery, and will tend Southward
and Smith west ward. The excep
tions which Major Powell makes in
favor ot Texas and the Indian Ter
ritory aiv undoubtedly well made.—
TudiU years ago Mr. Frederick Law
Olmsted, in the best and most,
thoughtful l ook which hasever been
published on the South and South
west, clearly pointed out that the
abolition of slavery must inevitably
be followed by a great displacement
of the centres of population in this
country and anew movement of
wealth and industry. Even in the
older States of the South this pro
phecy has silently begun to work it
self out under all the discouraging
circumstances of misgovernment and
social confusion inflicted upon that
region by the ignorant and malevol
ent legislation of the last decade.—
The census of 1880 will be extreme
ly apt to make the people of the
Northern and 'Western sections of
the Union open their eyes very wide
indeed ; and the probabilities arc
that before that time the disconten
ted classes of the North and the West
will have begun to find their way
out of the desert by a sort of Hind
instinct. The People of the oca
board and Central South are awak
ening to a practical perception of the
immense resources, and especially of
the immense manufacturing resourc
es, which they possese, and the peo
ple of Texas are fully conscious of the
fact that they enjoy, in point both of
climate and of soil, such advantages
over the northwestern part of the
Mississippi Valley as must leave no
soit of doubt in tiic minds of reflect
ing mui concerning the future of
the two regions respectively. It is a
curious fact that the war, which did
so much to develop the population
and wealth or Texas, should In\e
, left tire present active generation of
| men at the North in a more complete
ignorance about it than existed here
even under the regime of slavery.—
Mr. Olmsted's description of this
common wealth, “greater in area
than Kentucky. Virginia “Mary
land, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
“New York and all Ne w England
united,” would astonish Mr. Ilia no,
we suspect, quite as much as any j
other casul citizen of Maine. Hut it
is simply true, ami it is equally true
as he eloquently says, that “since
an English plough lirst broke the
■•virgin sward of the sea-slope of Vir
ginia “Anglo-Saxons have not en
tered on so “magnificent, a bo-i
main.”

i'<> the Honorable Senate and House
of l! ep resent a! ives :
'The memorial of the officers and
members of the Convention assem
bled at Old Point Comfort. Virginia,
on the 23til of July, 1811, respect
fully shows:
First —That said Convention is
composed of delegates representing
Ih • cities and towns of the States of
Virginia, North Carolina, South Car
olina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee,
Alabama, Missippi and Louisiana;
and that, from a similarity of cir
cumstances and needs, it is believed
that the Convention is fairly repre
sentative of the postal condition and
wants of the States of W est Virgin
ia, Kentucky, Missonii, Arkansas
and 'Texas.
Second —That throughout the im
mense ana covered by these States
the postal service of the government
is less complete and eflieient than it
is in other parts of the Union, and
quite inadequate to the needs of the
people.
Third— I’hat these needs are not
only commercial, local and social in
their character, but they also em
brace those higher wants of quick
communication with the great centrcs
of modern thought, the wants of a
more general and prompt newspaper
circulation, an lof closei participa
tion in the discussion of topics of
wide or national interest.
Fourth —That it is in the power of
the government to supply those
needs !>v the postal service within the
territory here represented lip to the
level of its efficiency elsewhere, and
to this end we respectfully ask that
the Post Office Department be au
thorised and enabled to provide for
greater speed in the transmission of
our mails; greater promptness in
their dispatch and delivery, and
more frequent and trustworthy com
munication with outlying points.
Fi f th —That the following impor
tant measures be provided for: 1.
The establishment of a limited mail
service passing through Washington
and connecting the great cities of the
Atlantic and Gulf States from Bos
ton to New Oilcans. 1. The estab
lishment of other though or trunk
lines of fast mail communication
between each point in the East,
North and Northeast, on the on -
hand, an 1 such points in the South,
Southeast and Souf.'iwest on th oth

Sin- within the naeh of the I .r_ed

Under the above caption, the
Indianapolis Sentinel. mite weeks
previous to the late troubles in the
North and West, contained the fol
lowing art icle:
The country is snflieicnlly advise 1
that a crisis is at hand, an impend
ing crisis. It is not, shall the Unit
ed States he one ami invisible? It
is not. shall the stars yn.l stripes
symbolize an ocean-bound repub
lic? Ic is more vital than either f
those. It is a question of life and
death to thousands of the people .|
the United States. We premise
that the Radical party, with it s oth
er crimes, has dithroned prosperi
ty. It has introduced financial and
biiisincsj chaos. It has violated
every law of political economy. It
has created poverty and pauperism,
it has regarded the interests ot the
rich and disregarded the interests of
labor. It has poiseml every foun.uiu
of truth. It has paralyzed every in
dustrial uitcrprise. It has tilled
the country with pauperism. It has
been the advocate of thievery, the
apologist of crime, the patron of
knaves, ail 1, in all regards, a curse,
for, while Jehovah has decreed
plenty, it has compelled starvation.
Radicalism is a blight and a mildew ;
it has organized crime: a political
malaria: a standing pool of total do
pravity, and demonstrates the neces
sity of eternal damnation. To Uad
icalism a lie is better than the truth.
It hides crimes and protects thieves.
Under cover of perjury Radicalism
has achieved its greatest triumphs.
Its policy is its pockets ; its god is
swag; its monuments are the wrecks
of all things that are true and of
good report, and its epitaph.
“Fraud”. It has held sway for
many years, and with its rule curses
have increased. Amidst plenty n
Inis organized laminc, and to-day the
issue is life and death, i rom e\*w
part of the country is herd Ihe wail
of distress. Stalwart men arc shin
ing; women are starving; children
are starving; ]>estilenco will follow
on the heels of famine. To get rid
of the Radical curse men are cutting
their throats, hanging themselves,
plunging into rivers and eanals-tak
ing the chances of heaven or hell
rather than endure the curse of Rad
icalism. Hayes, the embodiment of
perjury, with a soul damned in ad
vance, urges on Sherman, who looks
on and chuckles as he sees the blight
of his policy falls upon the prosperi
ty of the country. The bond hold
ers, rejoice and the gold rings ap
plaud as the poor enter the govern
ment hopper and are ground to
powder. While the work is going
on we are told that a shrinkage ot
values is necessary to reach resump
tion, and it is intimated that re
sumption is of such importance
that half of the people ought to he
willing to starve to accomplish the
financial feat, and this clap-trap is
occasionally indulged in by papers
that claim to be opposed to radical
scoundrel ism. Under radical rule
the policy has been to aid the rich
and destroy the poor. For this pur
pose McCullough, the financial
knave, recommended arid carried
forward contraction. This creature
of quixotic theories, who demonstra
ted that the crazy bed bug was hi -
intellcctnal equal, managed to com
mence a policy which his succes
sors have followed with disastrous
results that defy computation. The
bondholders and gold sharks have
been able to control the financial put
icy of the country. Common sense,
the facts of history and the wide
spread distress brought about have
been inadequate to tire task of awak
ening a thought for the relief of the
country, or of arresting the steady
purpose to increase the calanrites
consequent upon contraction. Asa
result, thousands of our countrymen
are in the grasp of famine. Private
charities are being over-taxed, and
the outlook is full of the most hag**
gard forebodings. In this crisis < f
affairs, wh it is to be done? Protest.
Let petitions be signed. In some
way the people must be heard. The
cry is, “Hark? from the tombs.”—
Tnerc is a death-rattle in the thraots
of thousands. It ought to be enough
for toe Radical party to steal the
Presidency. The crime ought to
satisfy the largest demands of the
devil himself. To destroy the life
of th'pooplc ought net to supple-
meat the returning board villainy.
Tuere must be found a st ipping
place. In a few weeks Congress will
assemble. If the voice Of the peo
ple is the voice of(Jod, then I t it be
heard m the form of protests when
the representatives assemble. Her
