Paul, Mina., as we wrote It, to St. Louis, Mo, Poe. Tice’s predictions about bad weather havo been fully verified in the past two weeks. Owe ostrich will yield st<w worth of feathers when proirly shingled. A Colorado man has 100 of these elegant fowls. Old lace is the object of the latest fashionable mania, and the factories are running double time to supply the demand. “Bab” begin* to stand pretty plain ly for Babcock.- Mobile Register.

The Savannah Hews and the Mein jdila Appeal pronounce the St. Louis convention a failure. It seemed to us that Tom Soott ran that conven tion to his entire satisfaction. Tiinp out of Musical Director of the ceremonies for the oiienlng of the Centennial Exhibition Ims been of fered to Mr. Theodore Thomas, and was promptly accepted. The London Spectator says that Joaquin Miller's “Stories of Wild Men of the West” lack the grace and delicacy of handling which Bret Harts alono can give to this class of literature. Hf.xatouh Christlancy, Cameron, McMillan and Paddock, nominally independents, will, It is said, ail act with the Republican party. Mr. Booth will be the only Senator who will not go into cither caucus. The New York Herald of Sunday says: King Alfonso attained his ma jority yesterday. He is now eighteen years old, the time when Spanish kings come of age, and a grand fete was given at the palace In honor of the event. Or the 1,884,000,000 acres of land which constitute the area of the States and Territories of this coun try, 1,151,000,000 acres are yet to be explored and surveyed. This work is progressing at the rate of 2fi,000,- 000 acres annually. Victor Hloo was onoe accused of having changed sides more than onoe. He replied‘/’at grantli."

Concern mo the Texas & Pacific railroad, the Mobile Register says: “We deny at tho outset and deny constantly, that this road Is a South ern road. Wo protest that this road is not a peculiarly Southern enter prise, and that when the Federal Government shallkavo endorsed its (Kinds to the amount of one hundred millions, It has not thereby remedied the Injustice with which $190,000,000 have been spent uiion internal im provements at the North, and only $17,000,000 on similar improvements at the South, slnee the establishment of the Union.” I A ORKAT reformer haß arisen in Chicago. His name is Bernard G. Caulfield, and he represents the Ist, Illinois District in the next Congress. He starts for Washington in a day or two with his carpet-bag crammed toll of bills all written out for intro duction. He proposes, among other things, to amend the Constitution so as to forbid the re-election of any President; to cut the President’s salary down to $35,000; to forbid any inflation or any contraction of the currency; to have the heads of the several departments occupy Beats on the floor et tho House two days in the week, when they shall answer all questions put to them and have the privilege of debate ; and to vote tor Mr. Kerr for Speaker. He says there are several other reform questions he Is thinking about, but he has not yet decided upon what course ho will take in reference to them. On sever al {mints Mr. Caulfield seems to have an exceedingly level head. 1 * ‘" ■ - * ■ ■■ TIM Khedive of Kcypl is a remarkable man. His eyes are turned to Africa with the same inter est as that with which a Century ago Jefferson regarded the Great West, then an unknown wilderness, now a well peopled territory. The sale of the Suez canal has redeemed Egypt from the abyss of financial degradation to which Turkey has fal len, and the orescent and the Koran progress gradually to the populous shores of Victoria Nyanza. The Khedive is now engaged in a scheme of conquest and exploration une qualled in cotemporary annals. Egypt is a country that never fails in abundant crops, and her ootton, sugar, grain and gum, with undeviat ing certainty, are poured into the markets of the world. The Khedive, therefore, deserves in a large meas ure the sympathy and support of Christendom, or, as Sir Samuel Ba ker puts it, “all chivalrous friends of the Khedive should now rally around him.” Some three hundred cottages for the accommodation of foreign exhib itors at the CentonnlaL pot up at the expense of their several government s, are rapidly approaching completion. There are 54,350 beggars in Paris, two-thirds of whom are females. "inttepeniteiit as a Wood-Sawyer lit a The Bays of Qov, Smith: “Govei t!<§ Smith may have made a Rood Governor; and he hae, wo be* We, given very gKeral tat isfhetioil; bud he has his blunders and mistakes, his pfejuatoea and whims, that arc incident to the human family.” Thin is very true; mid the greatest blunder and mistake that Gov. Smith ever made was in not recognizing the fitness of Mr. Williams, proprietor and editor of the Trans, tor the office of Judge of thoCityOourt, fur which he so earnestly begged; and then, as if this mistake was not enough, he actually had the dullness to utterly fail to nee the fitness of that young gentleman’s capacity for the dis charge of the duties of Solicitor In the County Court, und actually re fused to accord even that sop to his hungry ambition. Such mistakes are rarely over forgiven.-Sawyer & Co.’s Courier. Tho above “blunders” must have dropped from the caves of the Cap itol, and havo drifted upon the sea of sarcasm into tho bosom of old man Sawyer. A “trained journalist” should be above making statements that lack the essence of truth. In the first place, we are not tho “pro prietor and editor of the Times,” but only a part of the establishment. Secondly, there is no such court in this section as the “City Court.” Thirdly, we never had the honor of “earnestly begging” Gov. Smith or anybody else tor tho position of Judg of any city court. Now, we did have aspirations to bo the Solicitor of this Circuit; and as to the manner In which our efforts wore rewarded, we beg leave to refer Mr. Sawyer to Gov. Smith. Our un derstanding was that at one time the Governor did “have the dullness to see our fitness,” If wo may be allowed to Judge so, from such remarks as these: Governor -Well, you are the first applicant, aiut you ? “Earnest Beggar”—Yes. Governor—You know the rule at the mill, “first come, first served” don’t you ? “Earnest Beggar”—Yes. Governor—That is all I can say, you kuow. [Exit “Earnest Beggar.”] Then again: “Hungry Ambition”—Govornor, if my application in any way embar rasses you, I will withdraw it. Governor—No, don't do it but I can’t say any more. This may be very modestly called by the friends of tho Governor a “blunder,” and it.may be that, we “blundered” in expecting anything from such a vague und non-committal conversation; but, aguiu, it might strike a reasonable man that “the Governor did (not) fail to see the fitness of the young gentleman’s ca pacity tor the discharge of the duties of the office.” But the so called “blunder” is for given ; tor in “blundering” on us, he gave to the Circuit a moet excellent Solicitor. The author of the squib tor Sawyer & Co.’s Courier, It seems, has “blun dered” in his statements, and bus evidently imposed upon the credulity of the old man, TIM Prosecution of the Whiskey Kin**. Neither of tho two great political purties can gain party capital out of tho prosecution of the Whiskey lings. The Republican party has the merit of exposlug and punishing those in fluential partisans who were the Inti mates of the President who appoint ed them tor party or personal ends. The stigma resting on the Republican party by tho almost universal corrup tion of its officials high in power is much moderated, but not removed, by those latter-day exposures. Yet, Secretary Bristow has won great honors for himself, and the Republi can ship of state is kept afloat by his energetic honesty. For years the public has been warned that there was great corruption in the Civil ser vice, and that great criminals were shielded by the President and his advisers. Now that President Grant says "let no guilty man escape,” he him shown his official integrity, but demonstrated his utter unfitness as the Executive of tho United States. But the Democratic party can hardly show a parallel to this whole sale exposure and conviction of pro minent leaders of Its own party. Our greatest fear is that, in tho anxious thirst tor political power and deter mination to evince a superiority to any legislation not strictly constitu tional, Southern Democrats may play into the hands of Northern capital ists, cities, and representatives, by ignoring the fact that the vast system of internal improvements by the General Government was undertaken at a time when they were powerless to provent such legislation, or to secure an equal share in t his foster ing care of the General Government. While opposed to any legislation which will not prove of financial benefit to the Government, wo ask that the impoverished South, whose working capital was diminished to the extent of $3,1)00,000,000 by eman cipation, shall receive National aid to carry out improvements of a Na tional character. Northern journals that advocated the system of inter nal improvements by which $175,000,- 000 were given to the North and West while only $17,000,000 have been granted to the South, are now clam orous against any further aid being extended by the General Govern ment. They urge that, the times are unpropitious; and economy and re trenchment ait) the watchwords of both political parties. The Constitution hus been torn to shreds by the party in power to advance Northern interests; let not the endeavor to “patch it up” cause Southern men to forget the Injustice which has been done to the South. r*,i It is said that misery is on the in crease in Prussia, owing chiefly to the military footing on which that coun try persists in standing. Living is higher and wages are lower. A cattle firm of Rockport, Texas, uses ISO Oro acres of grazing. pi ilh: opinio*. It is a rather interesting fact just at present that Sam Tilden is tho only Democratic statesman who hus car ried his State in this fall’s election.— Exchange. It must be an Interesting fact to contemplate that whereas the Demo crats carried the State last year by 63.000, they now havo It by 16.000, and while they had the Assembly last your, tho Republicans now have it by 14 majority. The Democrat who can extract comfort from such a state of facts could be happy at a funeral.— Ontario County, fN.Y.) Journal. Wo agree with the Memphis Ava lanche in saying that "the ‘whiskey ring’ and Us nefarious curruiitions will continue in some shape so long as tho present system of collecting internal revenue Is maintained. The only way to reform is to abolish the whole thing, from the Commissioner of Revenue to the stamps which go on the whiskey casks. Tho system invites and fosters fraud, and edu cates a corps of thieves in whiskey and tobacco, just os a protective tariff makes thieves at the Custom House of one-huif who do business in them.” -Shreveport Times. It is our belief that in ten years from to-day St. Louis will have out stripped New York in population. What she may be in the more distant future, when the great Western terri- j tories arc fully developed, may be understood from her present rate of growth within a comparatively limit- j ed stretch of deiiendent territory.— i Mobile Register. When it is argued against Mr. Randall that accepted the back pay voted by the last Congress it should not bo forgotten thut, Mr. Kerr, his oompetior, also accepted back pay when voted by a Congress of u row years ago. The difference between Mr. Randall’s postion and that of Mr. Kerr is the difference between cant and sincerity, and every sincere Democrat will rejoice in the opportunity to show his res|ieot for courage and manliness opinion by welcoming Mr. Randall to tho office ; of Speaker.—N. Y. Horald. The Republican press is gradually hearing of the Emma Mine scandal. Thus far its voice Is unanimous for. Mr. Sohenck’.i recall. Does the President hear it?— N. Y. Tribune. Third term sentiment is not very strong in Vermont, evidently. The Rutland Globe remarks: "We be lieve we know tho temper of the Re publican jiarty in Vermont well enough to be justified in sayiug that, with Ulysses 8. Grant as a candidate for re-election with such a Democrat, as Samuel J. Tilden in opposition, Vermont could not be cajoled or forced into giving her electoral vote for Grant. She would prefer Tilden and take the risk—and it would be a risk—of the Democracy. The Repub licans of Vermont, however, feel that there is about as much chance of a renomination of Grant as there is of the Slate voting for Jeff Davis. Possibly the Democrats will adopt at their next State Convention a school plank, not because they be- Iteve that the common schools have anything to do with present political contests, but because it may bo re garded expedient to meet the Repub lican charge that they arc unsound j in regard to tho public school sys tem.—Buffalo Courier, Dem. Now that the facts arc ascertained,! Sehonok’s recall is imperative. He : has disgraced tho American Govern ment nnd American people as long as he should be permittee) to do so. The American Government, cannot wi{ie out the personal and official disgrace which Gen. Schenck lias brought upon himself and the high position he holds, but It can free it self and the American people from all responsibility for It by his imme diate dismissal. -Chicago Tribune, Rop. Chief Justice Waite has done a sen sible action in refusing to becomes candidate for the Presidency. It is an honorable ambition to aspire to the White House, but an innate sense of propriety teaches the people that it is an ambition in which the Judges of the Supremo Court will wisely not indulge. The serene atmosphere of our highest judicial tribunal ought never to be disturbed by the conten tions of politics and tho intrigues of party. —N. Y. Tribune. There is a too evident tendency in the Democratic press to urge investi gation as the end and aim of the Democratic House of Representa tives. This is all wrong. Congress lias other work than to resolve itself into a smelling committee of the whole on the rottenness of the Union. The Democratic majority must put in practice the protracted preachings of honesty and economy which the country has heard from the small Democratic corner of tho House for the last fifteen years. In short, the Democratic Congress this winter is expected to make the Democratic platform of 1872 good for 1876 by hon oring its professions. Thorough in vestigations must be instituted, of course, but that is not enough.—Bal timore Gazette. Hans Andersen’s Love History. St. JOcholan for Ducetuber.J It was on his journey through Zea land, Funeu and Jutland, that he met a young girl with whom he fell deeply in love, but who, unfortu nately, at the time was engaged to another man, and as Anderson never met another women whom he could love as he loved this girl.he remained unmarried all his life. Many years later, a peasant girl, who had heard about him as a great and world re nowned poet, whom all men hon ored-anti who, I believe, had also read some of his Stories—took it into her head that he was the one man she wanted to marry.. So she star ted out tor Copenhagen, where An dersen was then living, went to his house, and told him her errand. You can imagine how astonished he must have been at; being told by a young, haudsome girl that she wished to marry him. “I should be so very good to you,” said she, “and always take good care of you.” '’But,, mv dear girl, I don’t wish to be married,” answered he; and she departed as suddenly as she had come. Health Before Everything A farmer, the other day, was walk ing around the Central Market try iug to find some chap willing to go into the country and do a little work for good {my. when a colored man ac costed him,'asking: “Boss, does yon want someone to husk corn?” “Yes; I’ve been looking all the morning for someone.” “What’s do pay?” "I’ll give $1 a day.” “And board?” “Yes.” “An* chickens an’ pudding for din ner?” , “Y -yes.” “An 1 Havana cigars to smoke?” “I-I guess so,’’stammered the far mer.” “An’ a coal stove right dose arotm’ dar whar do corn is?” “No; I never heard of a stove in a corn field,” “Well, if dar’s no stove out dar you can’t coax die chile along! Ize got to take keer of my health, even if dere isn’t a bushel of corn raised in dis country!”—Detroit free Press. IHE UMJ*: iSAJimU UECEALbiat 4, 1875. The Currrnrj. The Lynchburg Nela very justly treats the currency question in tho following letter: It were idlo to assume, and withal, the sharest clap-trap to assert thut the interest of the two classesli iden tical, under tho present financial system of tho government. Let us I see. The capitalist who Ims his hun-; dred thousand dollars to his credit in j bank of the present currency is of j course anxious tor a speedy resump tion of siioclo payments, aod why; beeauSbthat would enhance the value of bis money, und give to his hun dred thousand dollars a purchasing power of fifteen i>er cent., greater than what it now has. In other ! ■words, his money, which is now fif teen per cent, below the gold stan dard, would, by the act of resump tion, bo made equal in value to gold, and thus his wealth would be in creased fifteen thousand dollars by the operation. But how would siKiedy resumption affect the 1 debtor? He may owe this very oapl- ■ talist a hundred thousand dollars in j currency and the debt had been con tracted when "legal tenders” were fifteen percent below the gold stand ard. It is to his interest to pay off this debt with as little value ns the law will allow, and he is therefore conscientiously iu favor of an in crease of the present amount of cur rency. It is most natural and not at all unreasonable that ho should be opposed to {siying fifteen }>er cent, more than lie hud contracted to pay when the debt was created, and this he would do if lie had to pay specio at the maturity of the debt. Now here is a gulf between the debtor and creditor not easily bridged, and the individual who wilt plan a bridge so as both parties can pass over if without {laying too much toll, will well deserve the thanks of all classes. It was the late Horace Greeley, if our memory be correct, who said: "The way to resume specie payment is to resume.” Now It seems to us that this is more easily said than done, and more flippant than wise. We shall iij a future number treat of another class, to-wit: The bond-; holders, and of Ihe present volume of currency and how it is used. Sprinsfor’s Opera House! HALL’S COMBINATION MR. T. A.
