Hart font Time..] 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.

Coluiubus Enqiiii 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.

About eighty hoys, from all quarters, all iu fine spirits, are in uttrmlance, anil others continue to arrive. They are much pleased with the new and in creased facilities now ia hand for dispensing education and training. The college has philosophical and chemical apparatus, which is be lieved not to he equalled by more than three such collections in the State. The law of gravitation, centrifu gal forces, aud electricity in its various forms, including magnetism and gnlvatnsin ; the laws of atmos pheric pressure and the vacuum, of hydrostatics and of light and heal, etc., can ho all happily illustiatcd ami demonstrated by the varied in 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 call at any time out of coll hours, and Prof. Newton, when not otherwise occupied, will take pleas ure in showing these new acquisi tions. The Cadets of the College are beautifully and effectively armed and equipped. The new Winches ter-breech-loading rifles, with glit tering bayonets and complete ac coutrements,Imvejiist been received. Soon our gallant young soldiers will be able to make a tine display. Military training is splendid exer cise for students. Moreover, there 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 colleges in Ibis and other States maintain military departments. Jno. T. Clarke, President of Trustees. The Oil-11111 Baum. 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.’’ CnntlnulitB the Hoarhound.l 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 Bonaparte, who, as usual, accompa nied her, but, from motives of deli cacy, did not enter the notary’s rabiuet, but remained in an adjoin ing room, where several clerks were writing. The door being imperfectly closed, A Father Who .Welted. The other evening a citizen of Detroit beckoned to his 12-ycar old son to follow him to the woodshed, and when they had arrived there he 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 ing with called me names.” “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- hunter?” “What! what loafer dared make that assertion ?” “It made me awful mad, hut I didn’t say anything. Then he called you a hicrling.” “Called me a hicrling !|Why, I'd like to get my hands on him [’’puff ed the old gent. “Yes. and he said you were a political lick-spitllc!” “Land o’ gracious! but wouldn’t 1 like to have the training of that hoy for about five minutes!” wheez ed the old man as he hopped around. “I pn.t up with him,” continued the boy, “and then he said you laid yonr pipes for office and got left by a large majority. I couldn’t stand that, father, and so 1 sailed over the fence and licked him bald-headed in less’n two minutes! Thrash me if you must, father, but I couldn’t stand it to hear you abused by one of the malignant opposition !”* “My sou, said the father as he felt for half a dollar with one hand aud wiped his eyes witli the other, “you may go out and buy you two pounds of candy. The Bible says it is wrong to fight, but tl.e Bible must make allowance for political campaigns and the vile slanders of the other party.
