The Exchange National Bank, of Norfolk, Ya., has suspended. In try* ing to carry a private bank it failed itself and will be put in the hands of a receiver. It was the severest financial shock in the history of the city. General Grant is still lingering, but his life is slowly but surely ebbing away, liis pnysicians say mai uc may die at any time, and certainly can last only a few days longer. His death will not be unexpected at any time. The gold-hilted sword of President Barrios has been found broken on the battle-field of Ohaliehnapa, and according to the latest intelligence he was killed. The report was confirmed by a cablegram from the Preident of San Salvador to the minister of Costa Rica at Washington. The deadlock in me Illinois j^egisjature continues unbroken. Speaker Haines, on account of some dissatisfaction in some of his appointments, rose, after the reading of the minutes on the 1st inst., and dismissed them. Resolutions were offered declaring that the Speaker had no right to discharge employes. It was declared by some that the Speaker was an unsafe person to conduct the affairs of the House and should be deposed, but before there had been any discussion the Senate entered to take a joint ballol for United States Senator. Tee nomination of Genera! Lawtoi: to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States to Russia has been withdrawn by the President.

It is an unmistakable Cleveland landmark of perfect faith with ti*e country to which he gave the open pledge <>t business administration and honest government. The Colombia Register well says: If the civil service reform implies snubbing the men who have borne the heat and brnnt of the Democratic fight in the sorest hoars of adversity, then it is quite time to know how such ?ivit service can honestly serve the beat interests of the Democracy. It is equally pertinent to inquire oni?h sp>rvif?#? rofnrin nan heln **V<" WUVM V?f 4. V%" - ? ?-r the country- About the only issue on which the national campaign of 18S4 was fought by the Democracy was that of administaative reform. If, now, that reform is to be accomplished at the hands of Republican agents, it is well that .the people know it at once. More especially do the good people of South Carolina desire lo know how far the Federal administration, from lio hiot'nacf tft lnwcsf nffi.-l'il. 1? fn be made respectable by the substitntion of reputable men for the miserable placemen who now "run the machine." UOXSIDERABLE aissausiacuon exisiea iu social circles in Washington city when it was announced tliat the army pets who have been kept in that city for so long a time would have to leave and try it iu the far West for a time. Secretary Endicott, says a Washington letter, is finding a strong pressure being brought to bear upon him from the society circles to keep these pets in the city instead of sending them ont West to take their turn and let those who have borne the heat of the day so long have a little rest. Delegations of ladies call on hi in at his office, and efforts are being made to reach him through his family relations. We think it nothing bat right that those who have endured the hardships of the "West for so long be given some leisure and their places filled by those who for so many years have been the ]>ets of society in Washington with little or nothing to do. Some of the unreconstructed Republican newspapers are making a considerable howl over the appointment of so many ex-Confederate soldiers to important positions by the President. They forget that there is no North, no South, but that we are all citizens of a common country. They seem to delight in resurrecting old issues which were buried twenty years ago. Com menting upon this subject the Philadelphia Telegraph says: President Cleveland, it is to be assumed, in appointing a few Southern men to office^ as well as many Northern men to office, is simply doing what Presidents Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur did, viz., recognizing that the war was over; that ]>eace is twenty years old; that the North and South are simply geographical terms; that! ??a?mi Southerners are as loyal to the Union as Northerners; that ft is one country; I that we are all countrymen, united by j D?mn?or rtf frutprmfA* than ever . __ before; that this is a time of good-will and common interest in North and South, and that the more good feeling and interest are cultivated the better it j will be for the whole people. The 'Telegraph recognizes the fact that the war is over and that wc are an undivided people. How much better would it be for the country if this were the sentiment of the whole Northern press. Industrial Education. The following appears in an editorial of the News and Courier of Satnrdav. which shows that other couu-s tries are far ahead of our own in the way of industrial education. It might be well for our own country to pay a little more attention *o this branch of education if it does not appear to interfere with the public school system of the State. We are of the opinion that in the schools and colleges of to-day they do not give that attention to engineering", physics and the practical arts that the subjects themselves J J3 . ueiuaim. Mr. Thomas Hardeman, of Georgia, has given much tine and investigation to one branch of the educational prob1 lem, and has succeeded in collecting much interesting information. In his view, the defect in the public school system is the neglect of instruction and training for useful occupations, Mr. Hardeman is not an enemy of the public school system, and his array ol statistics and opinions is intended tc display its defects, and not as an impeachment of the system as a hole He advocates industrial or mechanical tuition in the public schools, so thai bv practical handiwork pupils o: , every condition may be taught tht secrets of handicraft, and obtain som< ! knowledge of engineering, physic; i and the practical arts. > England has eight hundred pnbli< , schools with thirty-five thousand pupils In France there are trade schools, ii [ eighty cities, with thirty thousam 1 pupils, besides two hundred smalle technical schools. Prussia has tw< hundred schools, and Bavaria one huu i dred and fiftv. In the United State . there were only seventy-five tradi . schools in 1876 with abont seven thon ' sand five hundred pupils. There i ! evidently a great room for develop I mp.nt therefore, in the direction point . ed out by Mr. Hardeman, but it i , always questionable how far it is pro ' per or necessary that the free school should give more than a strictly ele 5 meutary education. The industria schools" which are advocated ought no ' to be made an additional charge upoi the public. f Pearson Appointed. ' The telegraph brings the intelligenc that Mr. Henry ii. rearson nas oee appointed postmaster at New Yorii It is also stated that ua gentleman ver s near the President, and undoubtedl 1- W . SpCUKIllg irum au(uai Ewnuniiugv I ?v . ports that the re-appointment of Mi Pearson was made after a most patier - examination of all the facts connecte e with the charges against him and hi answer to the same, which was snt a mitted to and read by the President. r The telegraphic account of the-ip*" 7 view goes on to say: fche postmaster. It is farther stated mat tnat ine re-appomcment 01 rearson will constitnte a notable exception tolhe coarse which the President may W?* expected to pursue. The New Yosk postofEce is the largest and most important in the country and is of interest to all the people, and especially to the vast business enterprise centred in the metropolis. It is to-day considered a complete illustration of the successful application of civil service reform principles to an immense governmental establishment. "This condition," added the gentleman above referred to, "has been brought about very largely by the intelligent effort ol Mr." Pearson, and he is thus identified in the closest manner with this examDie of success of civil service reform. To retain him insures faith and confidence in the movement, which would receive a shock from his remoral. His retention was earnestly requested by a large number of business men of that city, both Democrats and Republicans, and very generally by the Independent Republicans, who did such good service in sapport of the Democratic candidates in the last campaign." It is further authoritatively learned that this act of the Presdent mnst not be regarded as indicating that in other cases those opposed to the party of the Pres iaent win eiuier oe appointed or retained after the expiration of their terms of office. In answer to a suggestion that the re-appointment of Mr. Pearson might cause great dissatisfaction in the ranks of. Ms-party, the President is represented as saying: <'Thn nnrtv 5s neither hypocritical, unpatriotic nor ungrateful." About the only justification of this appointment is to be found in the statement that in the divided condition of the Democratic party in New York it was impossible for the President tc make a safe choice from among that ns.?-fcv. The fact that Mr. Pearson was the incumbent can make no difference. His term havhig expired, there was a vacancy, which the President had to fill. In appointing Mr. Pearson, the President, must therefore be considered as having selected that gentleman for the position in question. In making that selection he must be regarded as determining that Mr. Pearson's claims, without reference to his incumbency, are superior io those of any other applicant. The Convict Labor Question. The Columbia Register, of the 2nd inst., has a lengthy and interesting editorial upon tbe convict labor question in the Southern States. This subject has attracted considerable attention for a number of years past, and the question how shall it be made most beneficial to the State is one which has been answered by different men In HiffprAiif wove Sn lr?nor oc crime continues we are bound to have convicts, and their labor must be used for the benefit of the State. Can all of this labor be utilized within the prison walls? If not, then in what way can it be utilized for the best interests of the State? Should tbey then be thrown out, as our worthy exchange says, to compete with the l honest laboring classes of our coun tr$y<*ntainly this would be degrading to bonest labor, and in titce would be bound to have a detrimental effect upon it. This cannot afford to do. After discussing the question at some length ' onr exchange presents (he following # ' - - - x 1,1 plan uv wmca convict, jaour cuutu uu made a source of revenue to the otate: i What, then, are we going' to do about it? Manifestly in South Carolina, for instance, we cannot afford to j support eight hundred convicts in idle- j ness year in and year out. Be- j sides this, as the old rhythm runs: I "Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do." What shall be done, then? To hire these convicts out within the walls to certain employers brings these employers to the penitentiary for craftsmen and laborers, who otherwise would give employment to honest, skilled and unskilled labor outside of the penal walls. Well, we do not know how they may accommadc this question elsewhere; hut here at the South we insist upon it the establishment of penal farms, where all but the most criminal classes would be employed, would relieve the situation. These penal farms would furnish all necessary for the whole eatablismert. And the criminals kept within the walls should be put to making clothing and other conveniences for those convicts engaged on the penal farms. If some ten per cent, of the convicts of the Southern States should consist of such desperate criminals as should not be allowed beyond the walls, this wonld show one thousand permanently immured convicts. The farm convicts, well handled, could furnish all the food necessary consist iug of grain and flesh, for tlie wnoie [ force, besides an average of five bales of cotton to the hand?say 55,000 bales 1 annually or the equivalent. Such a 1 production would by uo means be felt 1 in a crop of six or seven million bales. | At $50 to the bale, we find $2,750,000, i. o- in round numbers $3,000,000, be1 yond the food and raiment otherwise > produced. This would allow to twelve penal establishments $250,000 each. | We can see no reason m our case ucrc in Sonth Carolina, under thoroughgoing first class discipline, why a penal 1 farm might not be made not only pro*' fitable, but absolutely a training school I for agricultural labor. By inaugurate * ing along with this farming a system of rewards, wherein so much would 5 be carried to account of meritorious * conduct and labor, at the expiration ol | such a convict's durance a fund woulc \ be paid to him by which he would be r encouraged to begin a new life as ai 3 honest man, if he had it in him. * This plan seems to work eleganth e on paper and bring in a good rounc - sum to the State annually. How i 5 would work practically we are unable " to say, but are rather inclined to be s lieve that the plan is a good one, am - its adoption would result beneficially s t) the State. il ,t NOTES FROJf A EKA XSA S. 0 Pine Bluff, Ark., April l.--Pini Bluff, the present home of the writer is the county seat of Jefferson county It is an old town, and was original!; n built in a scattering manner right alon< , the bank of the Arkansas Iliver.

I An Awful Fall. 1 During the Moses and Chamberlain ; carpet-bag and scalawag misrule in i Foutli Carolina, an adventurer named Hiram Kitnpton became a very considerable person. He was financial agent of the State in New York and a Wall street broker. He was a Yale graduate, of the class of 1863, and at one time employed many clerks and possessed $2,000,000. While Kiinptou's old Gubernatorial friend has gone from bad to worse, finally descending to petty larceny and the work-house, the financial agent has come to the same grief and nearly the same abyss. The South Carolina bonds proved his curse at last, involving fraud, degraWliAn Kit? fmulo I UttUUll UUU Ullliawftj. it ugu jwouuiuo departed, his wife and friends also vanished. He took to opinra and whiskey. On Tuesday last, the poor . wretchj ragged, imbecile, tilt by, his malodorous raiment kept - upon his body with a yellow rope around the waist, was hauled up before the Yorkville Police Court on a charge of vagrancy. He still fancies that he is rich, but really has not a cent. A more melancholy wreck, at48 years of age, can hardly be found, and yet there are worse men who will probably never share his doom of squalor and Itmacv. Such Works at the Near Approach of Spring.

Danphin, * New Orleans, La. * 1 I The Mangrove and Oyster in West- ! ern Florida. I am inclined to believe, in the economy of nature, so far as constructive process goes, the mangrove, in combination with the oyster, has had much to do with the building up of this western fringe of Florida. There is that factor of resistant e or obstruction to a passage which rende s a mangrove imnnssihle to traverse save bv i raccoons, snakes, or birds. Starting ' in a delicate way, with a single thin, ! pliant stalk right in the salt-water, afi ter a while, when the mangrove grows j to some four or five feet hi<rh, it throws down suckers from its trun&or branches, which meet the waters again. In time, the suckers being all around, the ' * ' I main irunK suems iu uuuu jioch uivai I out of the water, and to stand upon its 1 lower branches like a chevat-de-Jrisc. I Now suppose a manufacturer of gas fixtures had made a hundred big candelabra, and had stacked them in a disorderly way in a large room, the main pipes upward, and the crooks *and querls of the branches on the floors. If you were requested to walk across that room you never could do it. -You can fight through an alder thicket, but never through a growth of mangroves. I do not think sufficient importance has been given to the role the oyster plays in conjuncuou witu uicac un9. When the mangrove grows on the outer edge of the water-line, and drops its aerial roots, no sooner are these at the surface than at once the spat of the raccoon oyster finds a lodgment, for there can be no waters so charged with life as those in these warm seas. Qstrca parasitica nature originated to weight down the mangrove and anchor it in place.' These oysters accumulate, ??-? etc* Kirr oc o mnnVs growing in uiiu\jiiK;z> uo bead. In time these run through the cycle of oyster life, die, and drop from tlieir branch, and fall in the shallow water. The calcareous portions of the shells dissolve in part, but some of the debris, with the silicious matter, remains. A little more soil under water is made, and here will sprout another mangrove, ccrtain in time to have oys1 ter appendages. It looks to me as* if the trees on the very outer edge of the 1 clump show greater activity in this ^ double vegetable and molluscan life ?. than the trees in the inside. Growth, j then, seems to be arrested at certain ' points in this dual system, and to be ' advanced at others. One, two, or three 1 of these thickets arc separated, and may remain apart for years: then a seed falls, finds its proper depth, 1 sprouts, a new mangrove rises, anc k another and another, and the many islands become one.

To Restore Paded Photographs. e To accomplish this, according to th British Journal of Photography, tha ' which there can be no belter authorit ' on such a subject, one has only to in: y merse the yellow print in a dilute soli y tion of bichloride of mercury until a r the yellowness disappears. It is the well washed in waU-r to remove th 3 mercurial salt. If the print be a uKiut? ed one. it is by jio-mcan4' T tc d unmount it prb^p'. -r t.? ^^ment. I All that-is t'1's case is to keep if- ?ntimto?*?V>wct ior a time .tf.v\i~ blotting pnperctnrr^^ the - bichlorate; indeed, tliis is the plan originally suggested by Mr. Barnes. By the bichloride treatment no lost detail is actual!}* restored,as some have imagined. It i-simply that the sickly yellow color, which, as it were, buried the delicate halfliuts, or what remains of them, is removed, and thus renders the picture bri^ljt and cftar.

"restored," seeing that negatives intensified u ith mercury, or transparencies toned by it. are so prone to change. In answer to this,- we may mention that they appear to be permanent; at least that is our experience with soi.c that have been done for many year . There appears to be no further loss of detail, and the whites retain the r purity; indeed, since undergoing the treatment with mercury, no alteration is yet perceptible. Endurance in the "Water.
