The Boston Globe tell, how Mar
shall Jewell lost $500 from his cam
paign I'..ml iu a most exasperating
way. The fret|iient and heavy as
sessments to which the army of of
ficeholders have been subjected lias
not sufficed to carry on the cam
paign of corruption, and the Chair
man of the National Republican
Committee has been compelled to
seek for the sinews of war else
where. Among those applied to
for material aid was Mr. Norman
Ilurdick, foreman of a stove shop in
Sing Sing prison. It scorns that
the workshops of the New York
State prison have been in years
past a source of ready supply, the
men being willing to pay liberally
for Hie transfer to lighter and easi
er work Ilian that which they are
subjected in the iron shops. One
of the prisoners, who worked for
Burdick, president of a Garfield and
Arthur club, is named A. J. L.
Ilaigh. The prisoner llaigh was a
contractor for furnishing wire tor
the Brooklyn bridge cable, aud he
failed. It was found that lie bad
forged paper on several banks, lor
which offense be was cent to prison,
llaigh has wealthy friends in
Brooklyn, and lie was promised nn
easier job if be would secure u suf
ficient sum of money to be paid
over lo Burdick for ramgsign pur
poses. IIaigli got fjOO from bis
friends at home, and gave a check
for the amount to Burdick.
For the sequel wc quote from the
Globe:
“lie was at once taken from the
exhausting work of the foundry
and given a place in the library
under the chaplain, where the work
was nothing. Having lints made
himself solid, so to speak, llaigh
proceeded to turn the tables upon
the president ot the Garfield and
Anlinr Club and Chairman Jewell.
He simply told the whole story,
how the prison discipline was used
as a means of screwing out of coti-
victs contributions for the Republi
can campaign. and referred as evi
dence to the clicck which be had
given Burdick. The check was
found with Burdick’s endorsement,
and the facts of the scandal estab
lished. Burdick was compelled to
refund the money, much to Mar
shall Jewell's chagrin, and was re
moved from his place as Superin
tendent.”
This is a remarkable case. I’rob
ably it lias no parallel in the histo
ry of political parties in this coun
try. Forcing officeholders and gov
ernment clerks to pay over part of
their salaries in aid of corruption
funds is nu evil of magnitude. But
when party committees go into the
State prisons, and bargain with
prisoners who can command money,
securing subscriptions from such
prisoners by agreeing to change the
character of their sentences and to
relieve them from labor which the
court, have imposed as punishment,
under the law, we haves sample of
corrupt and unlawful work which
should rouse the attention of the
people.

There is no fruit more useful
and can be used to a greater advan
tage in tliis section than the apple.
U'e have seldom seen belter and
more of them in this city than there
are at this time. They arc for sale
in the stores in any quality and
quantity. All the fruit stands dis
play the tempting fruit and in most
all the fancy groceries they are to
he found iu abundance, and the pri
ces asked are so moderate as to put
them within reach of all who arc
fond of the fruit.
The most of the apples wc get,
and the best wc get, are from the
Northern States, and it said that the
crop there this fall will exceed any
in the previous history of the coun
try, notwithstanding the fact that
there are localities where the crop
is an entire failure. It is estimated
that the figures will reach 200,000-
000 barrels and that the orchards
have 125,000,000 bearing trees. In
New York State it is said the or
chards arc laden to the ground and
the country filled with apples for
which there is no market.
In 1876 the apple crop was 112,-
000,000 barrels and brought about
$50,000,000. In 1878 it was 150,000-
000 and about $60,000,000 was real
ized. This year's crop will_ proba
bly amount to the sum of $75,000,000
or $ SO,000,01)0. A snug sum to
realize from apples.

eighty hoys, from all quarters, all iu

The college has philosophical and

than three such collections in the
State.
The law of gravitation, centrifu

various forms, including magnetism
and gnlvatnsin ; the laws of atmos

hydrostatics and of light and heal,
etc., can ho all happily illustiatcd

struments and machinery on liund.
The principles of geography and
the higher mathematics are also
made plain by their use, aiid thc
most practical knowledge of all
these important subjects is thereby
facilitated.
Such illustrations by appropriate
apparatus impart to the student a
certain knowledge of many matters,
which, without these aids, he would
often be able to receive only as un
certain opinions. Thus a confidence
and security will results in all
deductions from principles so de
monstrated. Besides the experi
ments are so striking to the eye,and
so amusing, as to add greatly to the
attractions of study, and to make
labors, which often seem dry and
unprofitable, a pleasure to the siu-
dent rather than a burden. The
value of good apparnt
of imparting clear,
practical knowledge of science, of
stimulating the spirit of investiga
tion and study, and of diffusing
over the arduous labors of the youth
ful student a continual and ever-
vnrying clmrm, cannot be over
estimated. As occasions arise from
day to day, this apparatus is now in
regular use betore the classes.
At some convenient time, it is ex
pected to give an exhibition at the
College, in which the public will be
enteriained and enlightened bv a
variety of pleasing scientific experi
ments ami demonstrations. The
Iriends of the College are invited lo

Military training is splendid exer

is a widespread feeling among en
lightened and thoughtful citizens,
Mint it cannot be amiss to add to tha
security of our iintucdinlc country,
by having our boys trained in the
tactics. Hence, ali the Agricultural

It is not generally known that the
first man to agitato the subject of
cottonseed and cotton seed oil (an
industry which is now assuming gi
gantic proportions) was Mr. Wil
liam II. Oliver, a cotton factor of
Newborn, N. C. “When I first be
gan writing tip Hie matter,” says
Mr. Oliver, in a letter to Cotton, “it
was rather soon to induce the put
ling u]) of oil mills. The time lias
now arrived, and I think if you
keep Iiainnutring away, you will
cause a number of mills lo be erect
ed. The Southern people arc not
yet able to go into them ; they have
ail they can manage at present in
raising the staple. If parties from
the North would come South ntul
tablish oil mills, a good business
would be made of it. Although
the business is in its infancy, there
arc twentv-seven large establish
ments at work in the South making
oil, and most of them makeing soap
from the rcsidu. Mr. Edward
Atkinson suggests in your paper a
new idea in making paper from the
hulls. Keep the matter before the
people; it is one that is attractin
great attention. I have received
hundreds of letters making inquiry
about it.”
Mr. Oliver also sends usa copy ot
his first article on the subject, which
contains in ns concise a form as
have seen the now universally ad
mitted arguments in favor ofllu
utilization of cotton seed.
Colonial Power ofllnat Britain.
Ballimoru Sun.]
Virginia is the mother of states
men, but Great Britain is the moth
er of nations. The stormy sens
which engird this tight little island,
instead of being its prison bars,
have been converted into its high
ways. over which the Briton ram
ble-. the genuine tramp of the mod
ern world, lie rushes iu where
men of less vigorous nationality fear
lo tread, and his foot is permanent
ly planted along nil the tracks that
the conquerors of the earth have
brushed in their silent passage.
Asia, Africa, North and South
America, Oeunnica, Great Britain
occupies a vantage-ground in each
->f these continents; hold all, scarce
ly over loses any. The Americans
which cut loose from George III.,
rather than from Great Britain, are
to-day bigger in population ami re
sources than Germany or France—
bigger tlmti Hie old country itself,
and with uu unlimited proclivity to
grow, possess an unlimited room to
expand in. Indeed the “mother
country.” ns Great Britain is rever
ently called in so many parts of the
globe, Ims many children bigger
tlmu herself that arc still tied to her
apron stiring—overgrown some
times unruly boys, yet too foml of
the material root-tree to think se
riously of setting up independent
establishments for themselves.
Great Britain's arena (including
Ireland) does not exceed 631,000
square miles which is just about the
area of the State of Nevada, consid
erably less than the area of Califor
nia and considerably less than half
the area of Texas. The population
is 31,600,090, or very little more
than three-fifths as much as that of
the United States. i'ct this small
country has colonics and colonial
possessions, exclusive ot _ Cyprus
and the feudatory States of India,
which aggregate in area 7,910,059
square miles, or twice the area of the
United Spites, have a population of
205,167,000 which is four times
greater Ilian our population, and a
foreign trade in exports and ini•
ports aggregating $1,900,000,000.
The coast line of this vast empire,
which the British liavv undertakes
to preserve intact from the footprin s
of nil invaders, is 33,000 miles long,
or the length of the equator with
the d'ameler of the earth thrown
iu. It will bo seen from this that
the colonial empire of Great Britain
is bigger, if not greater, than the
kingdom itself, having sixty-six
times as much space to develop it
self in, six times as many inliabit-
nnss, ami foreign trade the aggre
gate of which already exceeds con
siderably that of the United States.
II in the course of one hundred
years these various British colonics
"should grow and develop in the
same proportion us the United
States have done in the last hundred
years, it is certaui that the power
imd prestige of the Kiigli-h-spcak-
ing races will preponderate on the
globe, and close confederacy be
tween I Item would be efficient to
compel Ilia’ general disarmament
ot the military nations, which states
men look upon ns the surest harbin
ger of universal peace.
“Hold Your Cotton."
The Morehouse (La.) Clarion
says: “It is, however, asserted ty
cotton Rtaticiaus that the present
■op will swell the figures up to six
millions of bales. They base tlieir
nictitations upon reports made by
the press from different portions
of the cotton growing country, and,
while their figures arc thought to
he correct, we have no hesitation in
■sserting our opinion that they are
egregious!)- mistaken. It is a cus
tom in vogue among cotton ex
changes of late years to address
thousands of letters of inquiry all
iver the South asking for informa
tion pertaining to the cotton crop.
These letters are usually written to
merchants who are largely indebted
cotton factors and com
mission houses, and to avoid any
alarm upon the part of tiic city
merchant, the country merchants
distort, the real facts aud endeavor
to make the world believe that the
prospect for a tremendous yield is
all that could be desired. Spinners
sec these reports and upon tiicin fix
a price which the poor farmer is
compelled to accept. Now wc
think the crop prospect of this year
lias been prodigiously over-estima
ted, and while the mistake wilt be
detected erelong, hundreds of hard
working farmers will be forced to
sell their crop, thereby losing the
opportunity of realizing its full
value. Hold your cotton and spring
the price.’’

Judge Black continues to mako
General Garfield very miserable.
The Now York Sun of a recent date
contains this terrible communica
tion :
To the Kilitor of the Sun:
Silt—Your questions are entitled
to a candid answer. I will set down
llteir substance and give my reply
to each one in the order vou put
them.
First—Did I mean in my letter to
Mr. Blaine that General Garfield ac
knowledged the receipt of stock and
dividends from Oakes Arnes? Un
questionably he agreed to take the
stock and did receive dividends
upon it. The letter plainly implies
that he had not concealed or tried
to conceal that fact from me. But
his admission was coupled with a
statement which showed him to be
guiltless.
Second. Did he declare to me
that he would go before the Poland
Committee and testify truly that he
had taken the stock ? I had no pre
vious conversation with him about
this testimony before tlie Poland
Committee nnd 1 did not know
what it would be until I heard it
delivered.
Third. Did I advise and urge
him to tell the truth? No, certainly
not. Such advice and urgency
would have been a most outrageous
insult which I could not offer to
nny gentleman of his character.
Fourth. Did lie ngree to adopt the
line of defense suggested bvmc!
You seem to think that I was his
counsel. I was not, but as his friend
a believer ill his perfect innocence
1 was extremely anxious that he
should get safely out of this unfor
tunate business. After it began to
he discussed in the newspapers and
before the committee was appoint
ed I besougt him to make no state
ment for the public eye which
might be inconsistent with what he
-aid to me. Lest he might forget
it or miss the important points of it
I repeated the substance of it some
what carefully. He did not reply
nnd I learned soon afterward that,
lie had authorized a total and flat
contradiction. Simultaneously the
other members of Congress who
were implicated made separate
statements of the same kind, assur
ing the public that they never had
taken or owned any ot the stock at
all or received any dividend upon
it.
Fifth. Why, according to my
understanding of the fact, did Gar
field adopt a defense so contrary to
that he had agreed on ? I have al
ready said that he made no state
ment about it. llis reason for
abandoning the true ground of his
defense was doubtless the necessity
lie tclt himself under of making
common cause with his political
friends, for whom there was no re
fuge except in a fundamental false
hood. I am, with great respect,
yours, etc. J. S. Black.
ORGANS OF HATE.
What the Cincinnati Gazette and
Commercial are Dolna to Bnlld up
Her Trade with the South.
A large number of the business
men of Cincinnati met at the Burnet
house Monday night, and formed a
business men’s club. The object is
to further the interests of the city
and aid iu the election of Hancock
and English. Nearly two hundred
mimes went down on the roll, every
one of whom is a well known mer
chant. Among them arc Theodore
Cook, former president of the
Fourth National bank; Capt. C.
M. Holloway, ex-president of the
chamber of commerce, who is to be
president of the club; Charles Sen-
songooil, the banker; Julius Reis,
president of the board of council-
men ; N. Mendcrson,‘the wholesale
clothier, a millionaire; Win. Stix
and Win. Uoodhcart, clothiers, and
Thomas S. Shcarlock. It was an
impromptu affair, not having been
called for through the press, and it
will be added to at an early date.
It is the first time in.the history of
politics that such a club has been
formed in Cincinnati. The first ac
tion taken by the club was to de
nounce the policy of the Gazette
and Commercialin conducting their
warfare of hatred against the
Southern people, driving trade
away from Cincinnati, and destroy
ing the usefulness of the Cincinnati
Southern railroad, which the city
built at an expense of $18,000,000. "
Only a Cape and a Sword.
Bonaparte never forgot anything;
least of all the days of his poverty,
anti the slights iio then received.
Grace Greenwood sends to the New
York Tribune the following remi
niscence of the Corporal and Emper
or which is quite characteristic :
When Bonaparte first paid court
to Madame de Beauliarnias, neith
er was rich enough to keep a car
tage, and the young hero, who was
deeply in love, often gave the
charming widow his arm when she
went to visit her man of business,
a notary named Itaguideau.
Madame, who had great confidence
in tliis legal adviser, who was a
friend ns well, went to see him im
mediately after her engagement to

began:
“Now, young man, you have been
fighting again! How many times
have 1 told you that it is 'was dis
graceful to fight?”
“Oh, father, this wasn’t about
marbles or anything of the kind,”
replied the boy.
“I can’t help it. As a Christian
man it is my dutj to bring up my
children to fear the Lord. Take off
your coat!”
“But, father, the boy I was fight

“Can’t help it. Calling names
don’t I urt anyone. Off with that
coat!”
“He said I was the son ot a wire
puller,”
“What! what’s that?”
“And he said you were an office-

“What! what loafer dared make
that assertion ?”
