Woolson’s ets o( the lly- t published in rraibcrsof tbe Century, is said to treat of tbe life of rn American girl abroad, but in the author’s own original way, and not at all as any other writer lias pictured her. The other charac ters of tbe story arc, tbe heroine’s mother, “Mrs. Spurr,” and an art- critic who is supposed to have lived for many years in Rome, where the scene of the story is laid.

Those who imagine that Mr. Conkling is out of polities are going to be astonished one of these days. Democrats of Marion Connty are requested,' by call from William Singleton, ol the .1 ryv*, to meet at the court house in Buena Vista on Thursday, tho 81th, for the pur- |iorc of naming an executive coin- mlttee. Representative Belford, of Colo rado, thlnka that the reason why members of hie party talk to empty lionches when they discuss the tariff question, is because they never say anything on the subject worth listening to. “II.

In many sectioiteqfcxAA.'# the prospect is reported as very j line, and in a Tew localities better - ! tban ever before. Tbe oat crop,' now rapidly advancing to maturi ty, suffered for rain in somo sec- tions during tbe early spring, but l the recent rains seem to have been general and a fine crop is now ex- i pectcd. The truck farms along the J Savannah, Florida and Western ! Railroad and its branches are also reported iu a prosperous condition. In a few instances planting was too early without adequate protection, especially of melons, but generally the prospect is good, while in I.owndcs, Brooks and Thomas counties tho melon crop is report ed iiiiiisnully promising for this season. < >f peaches, apples, pears, figs, pluuis, grapes, etc., the pr.

Many farms Imve been curtailed for the want of field laborers, the lumber and turpentine business in the pine regions haying drawn away much of the labor heretofore available. Hon. S. S. Cox oultiiies the true policy for the democrats in regard to the tariff, when lie says: “We have been led into a snare and made to take a false position before the country. This will not lie al lowed to happen again. We slmll array ourselves as a party in favor of not only revenue reform, but also a reduction of the revenue to tho lowest point consistent with the raising of a sum sufficient to pay the expenses of tho govern ment, with perhaps afairallowance fora moderate extinction o'the debt. Our surplus for the year from our system of taxation, after paying uii tho enormous expenses of the government, will be some thing like $150,000,000.

It ia strange to hear that in the unanimous Republican State of Yeimout tbe artisans in a factory object to the introduction of a colored man; yet such Is the fact.
