LARGEST DAILY OIRODLATION
la City and Mubnrha.
Hrlp for I lie fcuirerrr*.
Wo can not too zealously appeal to
a generous public In behalf of the
unfortunate sufferers from the severe
storm of Haturduy. Several highly
truthful and intelligent gentlemen
wore in the city yesterday, who have
been in the track of the tornado, and
they state that a literal description
would very naturally be discredited
by one not a beholder. Many per
sons, who wore in comparative com
fort beforo the storm, are now home
less, penniless und hungry.
Action should be prompt und lib
eral. Let us all deny ourselves com
forts, if need be, to assist the desolate
and the afllioted. It may come our
time next; and whether we are more
fortunate than our neighbors of Har
ris and Tulbot or not, let us not forget
that which is but a simple appeal to
our humanity. Let not our assist
ance be confined to the whites; let
ns provide as liberally for the colored
people as our means will possibly
admit of—for hundreds of the colored
sufferers were dependent upon those
very whites who nro now themselves
dependent upon the liberality, not to
say Immunity of their friends.
At a meeting held hero yesterday it
was agreed by the citizens that the
city, as n corporation, subscribe one
thousand and the county throe thou
sand dollars; but this sum is very
inadequate to relievo the Immense
amount of suffering and want, unless
our people pull wide their purse
strings, and furnish provisions, cloth
lug, &o.
We know these people, and know
I hat wo Call not on them in vain. The
Committee of gentlemen will con
tinuo to canvass for aid through the
day. _
KadlrnlH In ArkuntH*.
Wc learn through our exchanges
that Senator Clayton, ot Arkansas
notoriety, accepts the situation, and
lias advised ills faithful friends in that
State to do likewise. Ho tolls them
there is no use holding out any
longer, for they can get no more aid
from Grant; and that Garland being
in possession, Congross has gone back
on them, and they may as well look
tho facts in the face, and make the
best of it.
In addition to this dispatch from
tlie would-be Governor of Arkansas,
they hoar the death of their hopes for
recognition through charges of intim
idation at the ballot-box, in tho loud
voiee of Senator Poland, who suys:
“There is not a particle of evident®
that there was a single fraudulent
vote cast at cither of these elections;
that any single man offered to vote,
or wanted to vote, who did not have
an opportunity to do so. As u matter
of-fact, sober man I say there is not
a word of truth in it.”
The more fortunate might got
Grant to pension them, us ho has
done Brooks. Brooks could not be
Governor; so Grant made him per
fectly satisfied with the office of post
master at Little Rock. Any tiling
is better than nothing, quoth Brooks;
and he divod into that post-office, and
will hereafter hold tho letters and
newspapers, instead of ruling Arkan
sas.
John Dlllrlirl Ileuil.
The true Irishmen, all over ttie
country, will be pained to learn of the
death of this great and proud cham
pion of their rights. There were few
like him on this or tho other conti
nent. Ho loved his people, he dared
light for the South, and fondly cher
ished tho rights of Ireland; always
looking forward to the time when
Ireland, free and disenthralled, would
stand fortli among the proud coun
tries of Europe.
•folin Robinson.
We menu old John Robinson, the
veteran showman, has been nomina
uomiuated by the Radicals of Cincin
nati for the Mayoralty of that city.
The Idea is ridiculed by the Demo
crats, and they say ho was only se
lected because of lvis great wealth.
Even that will not elect him, for
money is plentiful on both sides, and
the people of Cincinnati do not intend
to bo represented by a man whom
they will bo ashamed of each time
they entertain distinguished visitors.
Old John Robinson was a success as
a showman, but. will boa failure ns
a politician.
One of the latest European scandals
la to tho effort that the Duchess So
phia, youngest sister of tho Empress
of Austria, and wife of tho Duke
d’Alencon, an Orleans prince, has fled
to tho United States with Haufsten
wl, a Bavarian photographer, with
whom she had long been infatuated.
She had, previous to her marriage
with Aleneon, beeu ongaged to King
Route the Second, of Bavaria, but the
match was broken off on account of
scandalous stories in which the same
photographer was involved.
The Cincinnati Commercial quotes
from “Hamlet” the averment that:
“Your tanner will last you nine
years.” This may be true; but it
does not follow that a tanner will last
through three terms of four years
each.
Robert Bonner, who pinned his
faith toßergh through thickand thin,
is at last disgusted with him, and
stigmatizes him as a vain egotist,
guilty of foolish petty tyranny.
An Alabama editor styles the mill
in which defeated candidates arc
ground over into Foroign Ministers.
Consuls, Attorney-Generals, etc., the
"Executive hospital for rejected pol
iticians.” Executive hospital is good.
The Jit. Louis RepnbKaan says of
Andy Johnson: “His years are only
slxty;eix, but lio was a member of the
national Congress away buck In 18*3
—beforo any other member Of the
present Senate or House had reached
there—before the Mexican war and
the great anti-slavery agitation which
followed It; beforo Douglas, dead
these fourteen yeurs, had begun his
brilliant national career; before Lin
coln was heard of outside of Sanga
mon county; before Jefferson Davis
was known outside of Mississippi;
before the Republican purty was
dreamed of; before the Kansas and
Nebraska bill was fashioned; before
Kansas und Nebraska hud liumes;
before Texas, California, Nevada
and Oregon, and even lowa, Wiscon
sin and Minnesota were States in the
Union; before Fremont became the
Put blinder; before the days of Wig
fall, Yancey, Preston Brooks, old
John Brown and Wendell Phillips
aye, before the days of Charles Sum
uer, while Webster, Clay, Benton,
Calhoun, Macon, Cass, Crittenden,
Clayton, Wright and Murcey were
yet in the prime of their powers, and
while the old Senate glowed at the
zenith of its splendor with their pns
slonute eloquence, and long before
that age of rosy sentiment had begun
to yield to the pallid age of material
ism that is now upon us. The new
Senator, therefore, is a historical
character, as well as a living, indus
trious, irrepressible person. He has
seen one era pass, and is now, per
haps, witnessing the passing away of
another.
o|i!mil KlltlllK.
The New York Sun devotes a col
umn to the enormous increase in the
use of this deadly drug, in its various
forms of preparation, as well as in the
crude state, as a substitute for stimu
lants less easily detected. The Sun
says;
The use of opium in tho forms of
morphine and laudanum among the
female portion of our population is a
well established fact, and the para- i
graph which apt tears at the head of
this article presents only one of the
many instances which Und their way
into the daily press. The statistics of
importations for the past, thirty years
show the extent the habit has reach
ed.
THK IMPORTATIONS.
The amount of opium imported into
this country in the year isle was 24,-
000 pounds, at which time the popula
tion numbered 17,600,000. In 1850 the
Importation reached H 7.000 pounds
population, 23,000,000; and in tsoo,
105,000 pounds population, 31,000,000.
At the port of New York alone the
importations for the last eight years
were as follows:
Pounds.
For the year 1867 59,393
For the year 1868 91 ~621
For the year 1869 80,078
For the year 1870 148,236
For the year 1871 . . . 116,172
For the year 1572 91,101
From .July, 1873, to July, 1874 265,513 V;
This is exclusive of the opium re
ceived at Boston, Philadelphia, Balti
more, Now Orleans, Ban Francisco,
and other ports, and tho aggregate
amount of which, added to that re
ceived at our great commercial me
tropolis, would probably reach at
least 400,000 pounds. The value of
this immense quantity at $7.25 gold,
the present price in its crude state, is
little less than three million of dol
lars. The amount imported into Chi
na from Britisli India is valued at
$15,000,000. The comparison between
China and the United States shows
that we consume more opium than
the Celestials in proportion to our
population. It seems incredible that
over 300,000 pounds of opium inde
pendent of the supply used for medi
cine could be consumed in this coun
try; but we give the figures, and they
speak for themselves.
A krm nrf,j stork Farm.
Nine miles from Frankfort, on tho
road to Lexington, stands one of the
finest and richest farms in Kentucky
—that or Mr. Alexander. On this
superb stock farm we saw 300 blooded
horses, ranging in rank from old Lex
ington, the monarch of the turf, to
the kittenish and frisky yearling.
Here, also, Mr. Alexander has collec
ted SKBi,(KKJ worth of cattle, compris
ing tlie finest stock in tho world, and
peeping into the inclosure where the
Tostly cattle were kept, wo saw one
diminutive heifer worth $27,000, and
a variety of foreign creatures whose
value seemed almost, fabulous. On
this farm are bred tlie great majority
of fine trotting and running horses
wtiioh appear in our park during the
racing season. Mr. Alexander’s es
tate, which is admirably stocked with
fine farm-houses, barns and stables,
and which is moro like a ducal manor
than tlie ordinary American farm, ex
tends over 3,200 acres.
Near by is old John Harper’s mod
est farm of 2,000 acres. The roads,
the stone walls, and the fine lawns
covered with massive shade trees,
make a series ot delightful pictures.
Tho annual sale of horses on the
Alexander farm occurs in June. Only
yearling colts are sold. Hundreds of
people from all the country around,
and from every State iu the Union,
flock to this sale. An immense bar
becue is held, and high wassail marks
the conclusion of the occasion. We
t>aid a respectful visit to old Lexing
ton, the mighty sire of a mightier
equine family. He is now quite blind,
a veteran of 22, afflicted with goitre,
and stood gazing in tho direction from
which our voices came, a melancholy
wreck of his former greatness. The
princes of the race-course of the pre
sent, galloped by, neighing and paw
ing the ground as if annoyed by our
presence. One of them, named Aste
roid, so far forgot his princely dig
nity as to charge incontinently upon
the fence where we were seated. The
negro men who manage theso erratic
brutes undergo all sorts of perilous
adventures, but they seem to possess
as many lives as a cat, and, like that
animal, always land on their feet, no
matter how far the plunging horses
may throw them.

“An exchange speaks of an acci
dent to n ‘colored wagon driver.’
This is hardly explicit enough under
the Civil Rights bill.” It certainly is
not. The individual in question
should have been spoken of as tlie
amiable, talented and distinguished
colored gentleman who impels the
vehicle; and until he is, the Civil
Rights bill is a delusion and a fraud.
