Her population is some ‘20,000 inhabitants. Tiif. majority of Northern men more than suspect that the ruin of the South was a huge blunder, if not n na tional crime. The recent cold weather lias had a bad effect ui>on tho health of General Breckinridge. Ho suffers from a pul monary compluint, DAimM.lt, Town, has tried I lie ex periment of India-rubber sidewalks.

Tho cere monies were most Impressive and a dense throng witnessed them. The crowd was ho great that immense numbers could not kneel. Hon. Caul Schurz was recently ser enaded at St. Louis. He declared, in response to tills compliment, that lie meant to make St. Louis his home and, after returning from Europe, de vote ills attention to journalism. They say Grant’s grandfather load ed his gun twice at Lexington, and tired successfully; but when he tired it the third time the old blunderbuss “buret” and killed him. Tho grand sonshould be warned and not load for a third shot. The committee appointed by the General Assembly of Alabama at their last session to investigate the alleged bribery and corruption used by Geo. E.

Ex President Jefferson I)avis has boon tendered the Presidency of the j Agricultural College at Bryan, Texas, j The Hearno (Texas) Enterprise thinks that this College will soon tie con-1 ilooted with tho University of Texas, which tins already been magnificent- j ly provided for. *— A ookresfondent uf the Savannah News, writing from Washington, says the new banking firm of Sherman & Grant start on a capital of SIOO,OOO. They have the biggest iron safe In the country. It is surmised that. they will receive strong Government backing and valuable hints in the sale of gold. • ♦ • Crime in South Carolina.- A Washington dispatch says: Informa tion has been received from the up per district of South Carolina show ing an alarming increase in negro crime -murders, robberies and the like. Tho government does not seem to care about interfering so long as tho victims are white and criminals black men. According to a Berlin telegram, the German Imperial Government are. now in possession of statistics re specting religious orders >f tho col lection of which a commission was recently appointed. It is found that t.hero is In Germany one thousand and eight conventual establishments for women, with about eight thousand members. California raisins have appeared in Sew York, and at a recent mooting, of the grocers' association they were critically examined, and pronounced superior to imported Malagas. More than ono-half of all the raisins ini . ported from Europe are brought to | tills country; and if our California grapes oan bo turned into good rai sins, it will be money in our pockets, instead of the pagans’ over seas. .v♦ • Texas has its tirni place iu the Union. She was the first, to submit to the results of the war, and led by wise and conservative men her politi cal history since t hen has been free from the troubles that befell other •Southern States. Every good man, no matter what may be his political antecedents, or the section of the oouptry from which ho may come, will be Cordially welcomed to a share in the growtli and future greatness of Texas. 1 ♦ m A New York letter gives some in teresting figures in regard to the ex tent of the business of making dross j patterns out of a flimsy sort of paper made for the purpose. One house in that city does *IOO,OOO worth of trade | a year. This house has 1,000 agen- j vies, and the patterns nro sent to eve ry part of the United States. Canada, and to Europe, the orders ranging from $23 to SI,OOO. One hundred and fifty hands are kept constantly at work fh meet the orders. The Montgomery JitvertLw very j properly condemns the act of fisher- j men exposing for sale over 000 pounds | of striped bass, or "rock-fish.” The striped boss is a saltwater fish,which only ascends our rivers to spawn or breed. At least a million of eggs were destroyed by that catch. It ap peals for prohibition by legislation so that this wanton slaughter shall •■ease. Our rivers ought to be stocked with striped bass, salmon and; speckled trout. This cannot be done! until this vandalism ceases. Where j isthtkSuthAiraitn who yvjll aidOor gfct arm**Mal>amjj iirthW ? The Democratic press of Ohio gen erally favors a short campaign this | year.' Mr. McCulloch, formerly Secretary of the Treasury, Is pow ill Paris, Ho Is writing a ferioa of letters to tho New ybrlßtrUwnltaonceratog iVuieli finances. The promptness with which Franco disc imaged tier enormous debt to Germany has astonished the world. But Mr. McCulloch shows that France was not a poor country, even at tho. close of that war. She is to-day one of the richest countries in Europe. This Is due, he thinks, to the frugal character of her people. They man age to livo well, but aro at the some j tinio truly economical, never failing : to putusido a part of their earnings for a rainy day—maintaining always 1 the most unremitting industry. The , people hoard up their gold. When ! they Invest their money they buy their own securities, and thus keep the money tu the country. The na tional faith is always strictly main tnined. Her finances arc confided to able statesmen, irrns|eettve of party bias. Party spirit is never allowed to embarrass the financial affairs of the Government, The idea of repudia tion lias no lodgement in the French mind. The people of Franoo could support themselves on what is thrown away in the United Htates. We are glad that the popular idea that the French are not a practicable people is being disproved by so eminent an authority as Mr. McCulloch. We be lieve tho French to be the most me thodical and economical race of peo ple living. The art of living, with them, lias been reduced to an eco nomical science. The internal com merce of France to-day is, perhaps, regulated by a more perfect system than elsewhere. The French form a compact homogeneous nationality that exists in no other country. Her agricultural progress keeps apace with that of science. They have re claimed from the sea tho vast sterile plains (Landesj of Bordeaux, de la Gi ronde, Sologne, Anjou, Bretagne, etc., audeven Holland, flndsits competitor in France. France in 1750 contained 20,000,000 of people; in 1790 it exceed ed 26,000,000. During this time agri culture hud doubled its products, and the rest of the land lmd quadrupled in value. In 1789 Franco possessed 1,600,000 hectares (the hectare is two ami a half acres/ planted in the vine ; in 1819 she hud 2,192,934 in vineyards. In 1788 the harvest was ‘25,000,000 hec tolitres ("22,009,068 gallons); in 1858 it iiad reached 45,000,000 hectolitres. The culture of the Irish potatoe reached in 1815 21,597,945 hectolitres; in 1857 it was five times ns great In 1828 France only fabricated 6,000,000 kilogrammes of sugar, and consumed only 2,600,000 kilogrammes. In 1859 she manufactured 132,651,000 kilo grammes, and consumed 80,000,000 : kilogrammes. Cut up into little farms and small | proprietors, systematic management; lias steadily increased tho agrioultur- j al products without impoverishing the soil. France is the founder and the perfeetor of the modern science of political economy. No country is more progressive than France, and no man is better fitted to decide upon her financial success than Mr. McCul loch. Her admirable management since the last, war with Germany is a greater triumph than the military success achieved by Germany. The debt of France is 4,500,000,000 of dollars ; of England, $3,900,000,000; of the United States, $2,200,000,000. Great Britain owes for each inhabi tant $140; France owes sl2l, and the United States $55 per capita. Hut. the United States debt is largely duo to foreigners, while that of England and France is duo to their own people, ' Thu Vlail of the lUnperor **l lu-irin to Italy. Although the visit of tho Emjteror of Austria to Italy is a little out of date, it is worthy of notice. Any one lat all familiar with the hatred that j formerly existed among tho Venetians towards tho “eusa d’Austria,” will I appreciate tho magnanimity evinced both by tho Italians and by Francis Joseph. Tho latter visits as a guest that Lombardy for so long a time under his rule and governed by the hapless Maximilian; the former a | people who threw off tho Austrian | yoke with all the enthusiastic hero i ism of a nation determined to tie free, j One roealis that day when even the taverns contained placards, saying, "Vogtlamo l’ltalia una et il Re costi tuzionalo Vittorio Emmanuole”; and the love of their new-born nationality was only exceeded by their hatred for the Austrians. Francis Joseph won his Hungarian subjects by casting aside his prejudices and becoming King of Hungary; and his magnani mous character, in spite of his many political reverses, endears him to all his subjects. If he lives ten years longer, wo believe he will outlive Italian hatred; and even now the c.hivnlric King of Italy has sot his subjects a worthy example to lie followed. -♦- The Sun Francisco Bulletin predicts “that tho time will soon come when every farmer will cure his own fruit and store it away as he does his hay, the drying apparatus forming apart of every well-regulated farm outfit. There is every prospect of a good fruit season in California. Cherry, pear and fruit trees are in full blos som, and apple trees are beginning to bloom, and the State will soon be one great orchard of fruit trees.” On the contrary the tendency seems to be for the farmer to rely upon spe cial contractors to thresh his wheat, and, In thickly-settled communities, to gin his cotton. Fruit drying will never be done by farmers unless they devote their whole time to fruit cul ture. If the contest iu the Ninth District is narrowed down to Hon. Ben Hill and Col. Estes, we think Hill ought to triumph. As Estes puts his claim to preferment on swallowing the amendments and being a small po tato, we have no sympnthv with him. Bon Hill is decidedly the Better man for Congre. —.4 no.

Under this caption the last Harper's Weekly has some tilings that must greatly amuse those knowing how 1 cotton in cultivated. It is really stir- j prising that such a journal would j make such egregious blunders about “cotton culture.” Not to waste too much space, tho engraving "repre senting the covering in of the seed” is decidedly rich. It represents ne groes as covering cotton with hoes. We expect there is scarcely a child in tin- South but knows better. Then the method of keeping off crows from the covered cotton, is the best joke out. Hear what this sapi-! entsheet says: “The most common, method is a tin pan suspended from ! a couide of high stakes, which is beaten by moans of a stone swinging from a cord.” The engraving has a little nig pulling tho cord.

The quarterly statement issued j from the office of Dun & Cos. shows that tho number of failures in the States during the first three months of the current year was 1,734, and the ; amount of their liabilities $38,873,000. j The liabilities of tho failures in the ‘ first, quarters of 1874 and 1875 are, in j i fact, almost identical, showing a dif- : j ference of less than $70,000 in totals! ! that reach thirty-eight millions. Georgia is credited with 40 failures, I labilities $1,037,000; Alabama with 15 ; failures, liabilities $360,000; and South ! Carolina with 61 failures, liabilities j $989,236. New York leads the list with 349 failures, liabilities about eleven millions. Pennsylvania and : Massachusetts come in succession; ! and at the desirable end we find Ar j kansas, that has only two failures ; marked down against, her name, and ’ their liabilities were only $27,000. I There is nothing in these figures to ■alarm tho most nervous. Some of j them are lingering wrecks of the | panic, and very few of the rest are chargeable to the depression which j prevails. We are rather inclined to doubt the wisdom of the late action of the Con servatives of the House of Delegates |of Louisiana in reseating four Con servative members and unseating the same number of Republican ' members. We doubt whether they I lmd the right, to do so under tho re | cent compromise which they made | with the Kellogg party, but even if | they had such right, st ill it was to ] tally unnecessary to re-open the old sore, and thus throw the State and country into renewed agitation about j a question which can only is* finally settled by the people. Unwise 1 actions frequently ruin a good cause. {Petersburg yews. , Decrease of Immigration. -The im migration statistics for 1874, now made up, show a falling oft' of more than one-third from 1873. The fol lowing is the comparison: 1873. 1874. From the British Isles 159,853 11X1,422 Germany 133,14! 56,927 Scandinavia 29,553 14,105 Canada 29,102 30,150 All countries 422,112 260,814 ! The decrease is over 160,000; but i even this does not embrace the whole truth; there was a large emigration I from this country back to Europe in j 1874—larger, perhaps, than was ever I seen before—caused by the scarcity of work and the general depression ! of industry. It is erroneously supposed by many j that tho English enjoy a decided ad vantage over Americans in thomat ! ter of cheap books. Recent circulars j from the large publishing houses of England show how far from the real ! truth this idea is. With the exception ■of some very popular editions, the prices are greater than for the same works as issued from American houses. It is also a gratifying fact that the book trade is enlarging year after year in this country, and that the publishers are generally prosper ing. It is pleasing to note, too, that the books from the American press will compare favorably in every re spect with those of the more cele brated houses in Europe.—Ere. The French Republic.— The French Cabinet is quite a piece of mosaic work, all the shades of liberalism in the French Assembly, whether mon archical or republican, being repre ' seated in it. Noble Advtrr. The following noble advice and just tribute to women we find published in an exchange paper without credit. Tho man that writes thus deserves to tic known, for he is an honorto man kind. We take pleasure in republish ing tho advice because it is both wholesome and just, and would glad ly name the author if we could, for the reason that he deserves to be known and honored: “Never use a lady’s name in nn im proper place, atah improper time, or in mixed company. Never make as sertions about her that you think un true, or allusions that you think she herself would blush to hear. When you meet with men who do not scru ple to make use of a woman's name, in a reckless and unprincipled man ner, shun them-they are the very worst members of the community men lost, to every sense of honor, every feeling of humanity. Many a good and worthy woman s character hes been forever ruined and her heart broken by a lie manufactured by some villain, and repeated where it should not have been, and in the presence of those whose little jiulg ment could not deter them from cir culating tlie foul and bragging report, A slander is soon propagated, and the smallest thing derogatory to a wo man’s character will fly on the wings of the wind, and magnify as it circu lates until its monstrous weight! crushes the poor unconscious victim. Respect the name of woman your mother and sisters are women, and as you would have their fair names untarnished, and their lives unembit tered by the slanderer’s bitter tongue, heed the ill that your own words would bring upon the mother, the sister or the wife of some fellow crea ture. ” —... The Conimcri ial seems to think that the Democracy are pretty certain to carry all the old slave States at the next Presidential election with but two exceptions South Carolina and Mississippi. This would give them 124 electoral votes, or within sixty of enough to elect.

Pin. Kny. The London Lancet recommends a new remedy for coughs, viz.: resist ance of the'desire to cough until the phlegm bus accumulated in large quantities, when there will be some thing to cough against, and the phlegm may be brought up with much less effort. The Laurel says that a great deal of the hacking, hemming and coughing in invalids is purely nervous or the effect of habit, and that an exercise of will is needed to prevent the wasteful exer cise of power in clearing the throat. Experiments in hospitals have shown this to be true. Policeman Joseph C. Kennedy of Providence, K. 1., having been set upon and beaten by a gang of roughs, who rescued oric of their number and took ilight, fired upon them and killed an innocent man. It may well be questioned whether the officer had the right to shoot under -ueh circumstances, the offenders being in ilight, and if not, he will be likely to stand his trial for the homicide. Baltimore and the West India Trade. The New York Telegraph, in referring to the waning supremacy of that port, says: Baltimore, not satisfied with having | taken our coffee and sugar trade, is | now after our fruit trade. The same facilities which directed to Baltimore ! the trade of the West Indies and i South America are attracting to her wharves the fruit trade of the same I countries.
