What wus at first a purely agrarian movement Ims become through tho misfortunes of ttlo country a general movement of the dlssutisfied against tlio existing snobil, political anil economic system. This was par- tloulnrly true in 'lio most populous part of Alabama, where n fierce striko of mlucra, resulting In blootbdicd, bad Just beou suppressed by tho uso of tlio military foroo of the slate under tlio command of tho Democratic governor. All tho animosity aroused by that Oorco ooallict Inured to Ibu benefit of Kolb, and tho returns show that In tho ooua- lies where tlio striko occurred bis vote >vas largely mcremwd.

The surprising thing Is that there fit one cutlery .company which wants free trade.

Neither party end undortnko to block ade tho ports ot tho otheV, and even it »l)lo to do so would refrain for fear of provoking Interference; Except for tho lutcrest tlmt stories of martial exploits always excite, tho war will after a llttlo attract llttlo. attention in this country.

The Aldingar’s crew did not alone dis cover that the rising of the Belle's ghost from the sea waa the only wonder con nected with the queer shipwreck. Though it was March 27, nearly two months after the Belle went ashore, four living domestic animals trotted about the dead brig's decks. Three swine were jn the veatel's hold, and had Tatted upon the potatoes In the cargo that were piled close to the hatches. The hatch covers had been washed away, exposing the po tatoes to the ravages of the hogs, dog. bopy hnd hungry looking, and ered with feathers, was found curled up In the after cabin, where he nad lam down to dfe by slow starvation, life hav ing been Kept In hla gaunt body since the day fie was cruelly deserted by man, hla ungrateful companion, by devouring unwary seabirds that perched at night along the Belle's bulwarks and railings.'

The* * showers ere also Ufe-renewers to the animals, There had been a monkey and several parrorts confined In a cage fastened unucr the break of the poop, but the canine had undoubtedly fought a terrible battle with the simian, vanquishing Ms foe and then devoured them at his leisure. •All that were left of the parrorts were few green feathers, ' **“ • Tho dog was-brought on board the Altlln gar, and the hogs furnished fresh pork for the steamer’s men- for several days, But like the soldier who had passed scared through many battles, only to be killed on his way home in' a railroad aOc cident, the Belle’s dog lost his life by being crushed by a falling bale of mer chandise Just before entering Sydney. Seamen cannot account for the sub marine upheaval that bad lifted the brig high out of the water and percTied it a coral 'fouifSitlon. It must have been caused by an earthquake. v A LEGAL POINT.
