A gentleman in our town, well known for his in
dustry and manly deportment, undertook a few
days since to plow an ox. Everybody who has had
any experience in working the horned beast know
that they possess more contrariness and httrd-licud-
edness to the square inch than all other animals
combined. The*borned horse was harnessed and
hitched to the plow without manifesting any un
willingness whatever to perform the work, but when
the word go was given he kicked up his heels and
waltzed around a time or two on his fore feet, and
came dow n with his head towards the plow. Every
effort loget him in position resulted in his perform
ing a similar feat, and the gentleman was ponder
ing in his mind the propriety of taking to the fence,
when the idea occurred to him to whip the ox in
the face, whereupon the untamed animal run back
wards, dragging the plow, guided by the plowman,
and thus the work was accomplished, but "ge" and
???ha" were entirely left out of the programme.

Our drrat Exposition.
Correspondence St. Louis Republican.
It is needless to state that the cotton exposition
here is a success. Not only are the citizens of this
state thoroughly aroused to its vast importance,but
the people of the entire south are vying with one
uiiotherto complete this the beginning of anew
era for their section, and indirectly for the whole
country. To come down to details, I must say with
sorrow that St. Louis and Missouri have made a
great mistake by not presenting their claims here,
while other cities anil states are pressing theirs with
such energy and success.
Correspondence Springfield Republican.
The southern people, as well as their northern
visitors, are surprised at their own chance. The
attention of a countryman, who lias followed Ills
plow for these sixteen years and never thought of
the timber and the minerals that grow about him
and lie under his fields, is now called to the water
power that he owns, the mines he may have, the
tnanufiicturies he may build; and he is actually
awakened to that slate of consciousness in which
he will consent to vote for a railroad to be built or
possibly to appropriate a few,thousand dollars to
the agricultural bureau of his state. His eyes are
turned irom the past and his ambition is aroused.
He is no weakling either, when ouce thoroughly
awakened. lie will go home and advertise his
surplus lands for sulc. He will become progressive
instead of stationary, enthusiastic instead of in
different. The educating influences of the expo
sition are greater and sure to bring good results in
more ways than can be foreseen.
Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette.
Cotton is still king at the south, and naturally
holds the foremost place at the Atlanta exposition.
His manifold transformations give him ubiquity,
and iu one form or another the visitor encounters
him in every building ar.d in every department.
8till, there are abundant evidences that he is not
long to be a great monopolist. If the agriculturist
need not look further or dig deeper, there are other
classes to whom new avenues of enterprise are
opening with dazzling promises of reward. It was
a curious coincidence???some think a -wise provi
dence???that the golden treasures of California tay
hid for centuries to the dull greed of the Spanish
conquerors, to be unveiled as soon as the enter
prising Anglo-Saxons were the possessors of the
soil. So the boundless mineral wealth of the south,
if not first known, has become first appreciated now
that disturbing sectional .questions uo longer repel

Itultroad Liability.
Philadelphia Press.
In the opinion of an Ohio jury when a railroad
company sells a limited ticket over its own uud
another road, it contracts to convey the passenger,
or see that he is conveyed, tlie whole distance with
in the time prescribed. A Mr. Hiuc purchased an
excursion ticket from Washington to Toledo, and
the ticket expired while he was still on the road,
owing to detention of trains for which he was no
way responsible. The condnctor on the terminal
railroati refused to receive the expired licketaud
evicted the passenger from the train. For this a
sympathetic jury now gives Mr. Hine ??500 in a suit
against the Pennsylvania railroad company, whose
agent sold him the ticket It was claimed for the
company that it was not responsible r the delay,
but the plaintiff insisted that his contract was with
the Pennsylvania railroad and the latter was re
sponsible for the lailure oi the ticket to carry him
through.
A New Crop Desirable.
Marietta Journal.
If some of the old crop of politicians and some of
the new crop would die out, then it would be bet
ter for the peace, progress and prosperity of Georgia
and the whole country. Intellectual giants are
scarce, it is true, but there be men of big hearts,
big brains and broad culture, whose retiring mod
esty and decency forbid them to parade themselves
as ottice-seokers, and consequently they are over
shadowed by the brazen, persistent, pigmy poli
ticians who assume a greatness that belies the
truth. This, we presume, will continue to be tine
case as long as politics is made odious by slauder
and slime, and brass posses for merit, and sound
for sense, but it is certainly unworthy of the illus
trious age in which we live.

Of the Great American Continent in Review.
Panama, November 22.???Calderon, for some time
provisional president of Peru, and now with his
minister of foreign affairs, Galvez, prison
ers in Chilian hands, lie was arrested on the 6th,
just ns he was returning from maw,and was allow
ed a few minutes in which to prepare for his visit
to Chili, the length of which he nor no one else can
tell. He was then taken to tlie palace where he
had n private interview with Admiral Lynch.
He was sent on a special train to
Callao, and there placed on board the iron-clad
Almiraute Coch.rano. He was courteously treated
and was told he might take his family with him
???he was recently married???and any friends he de
sired to accompany him. The first favor he de
clined, but the second he accepted, and selected
several who share his exile. The reasons alleged
for this arbitrary act are not yet made public, but
Admiral Lynch is understood to have acted under
orders from Santiago.
Panama, November 22.???[Special.]???No one In
Lima supposes that the arrest of Calderon grew out
of defiance to the United States on account of tlie
attitude assumed towards the Chilians by General
Hurlbut There are surmises that it was because
Calderon-disregarded Lynch's order prohibiting the
exercises of auother authority within Chilian lines
than that of the Chilian commauder or government,
others say that the new government of Mr. Santa
MdHa???believes Pierola to be the strongest man In
the country, and has banished Calderon to make
way for him. The removal of Calderon makes
room, however, for Montero. who has announced
his acceptance of the vice-presidency of the pro
visional government, provided he is assured of the
support oi the United Slates, and in which case he
will assume the presidency in Calderon???s ??? absence.
General Hurlbut, who interceded earnestly
in behalf of Garcia Calderon, is said
to have sent a messenger, Dr. Mountjoy, United
States consul at Lambayeque, to Montero at Cujam-
oea, to assure him of the support and recognition if
he comes to Lima to succeed the exiled president.
The people in Lima do not understand why Gen
eral Hurlbut should take such an interest in the
politics oi Pern, and interfere in a mat
ter of dominance of parties or indi
viduals. The diplomatic corps, one and all,
condemn liis action, and although exceedingly ret
icent in the matter, are understood to be unani
mous in asserting that llurlbut???s action has compli
cated affairs to such an extent that no one is com
petent to understand the situation.
The question between Gautcmnlaand Mexico has
occasioned considerable excitement in Central
America, which the latest numbers of, the Diari
Officiate of Mexico, containing gross insults against
the president of Guatemala, is certain still further
to intensify. So far the response of Central Ameri
can opinion to the menaces of Mexico is entirely
united, and is not wanting in dignity.
The Official Journal of the republic of Salvador
indorses the protest uttered by Guatemala in the
most absolute terms, and pledges the country to the
support of the protest. Other decided manifesta
tions of opinion have been made, and there is no
doubt that if Mexico persists in invading Guate
mala, the other states will come to her assistance.
From private sources it is learned that a serious
question is pending between Guatemala and
i ranee. The question is a personal one, and some
what similar to that which occurred u few years ago
in the ease of the English vice-consul,
Magee, at San Jose. The secretary of the French
legation, a JSr Pilet, appears to have been arrested
and some say beaten by the police, cither with
their sticks or with the butt end of a musket, and
in other ways maltreated. The French minister,
M. Thcirsaut, has reported the affair
to his government in a long dispatch,
and is said to lie very indignant at what he charac
terizes an outrage and ifisuit. No details and no
positive information on the subject have been re
ceived, but the above is tlie story as reported by re
liable parties who recently arrived here.

The dim traditional records of the mighty past,
Tipping, with high, heroic lights,
The deeds of Arthur and bis sturdy knights.

Where, in the golden summer, he was bom.
And thrill with pulsing melody the fields

And the "Cantata,??? with its marvelous words,

That ne'er was matched save when Swamp Robin's

Albany, O., December 3.???This is a village of
perhaps six hundred inhabitants, one of tlie most
orderly, intelligent and God-fearing communities
in southeastern Ohio, the seat of two academies
and giving always a heavy republican majority
The home of Mrs. Lucky, assaulted by Davis some
weeks since, is near the village, and she was well*
known to almost every citizen. Albany and vicin
ity are supposed to have furnished the party of
lynchers who meted out to Davis his swift punish
ment at Athens???ten miles distant???on the night
of thc'llstult.
This late deplorable event occurring in our com
munity, thnt has moved people so deeply wherever
known, was discussed at an earnest, well attended
meeting of the ladies of Albany, Tuesday evening.
??? As an evidence of the feeling entertaiued by them,
j wc send yon a copy of the resolutions that were
I ??? adopted withoutn dissenting voice:
Resolved, That while we deplore a resort to mob
- violence, vet we think that Chris Davis, who so
I brutally assaulted Mrs. Luckcy, n lady of unblem
ished character and a member of the M. E. church,
who in nil her suflV-rings exhibits a Christian spirit,
mot a just and timely fate at the hands of the
friends of the horribly mutilated victim.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this meeting
that the proper course to pursue now is to reform
the courts of justice, so that the commission of crime
maybe swiftly and surely followed by adequate
punishment.
Resolved, Thatwe pledge ourselves to oppose tlie
g rosccution of any one who was engaged in the
anging of Davi??.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting it
is the duty of the legislature to so amend the code of
Ohio as to make the crime of rape a i npitnl olVer.se,
and thus avoid the temptation or necessity of a re
sort tomob violence.
