Work he considers degrading, and believes that his victory over Custer has entitled him to an existence of ease and indolence. It is rumored that the men who cneatea day tjromu 011 rauioau uu? am in receipt of very flattering offers from certain wide awake dime museums. The Standard Oil Company needs their services also. The receipts of the Treasury for July have thus rar avcrageu over $1,000,000 a day, including Sundays. This would produce an income for the year of $365,000,000. The appropriations were only $248,000,000, which will leave a surplus of $117,000,000. Tiie rccciit report of the English idcdical Commission in favor of M. Pasteur's mode of treating those bitten bv dosrs and threatened with hydro phobia has increased the general interest in tbe case of Paul Hnrot, one of the few patients that have succumbed to this terrible malady after having been treated by the great French scientist. At a meeting of the Irish National T oo<*no liol/J rinWiri if. wbtrh T.ni'f] UV1U 11* -*> ? ? T? ***VM ?V- - ? Mayor Sullivau presided, it was resolved to defy the Coercion Act and take the consequences. This fairly represents Nationalist sentiment throughout Ireland, and the enforcement of the hated law will give ihe government some very lively and difficult work. The discontent in the Tory ranks in England is intense and daily growing stronger. It has transpired that the withdrawal of several of the Ministers from the Cabinet was prevented only by Salisbury's threat of dissolving Parliament, and that he -went so far in his surrender to the Liberal-Unionists as to place more than one portfolio at their disposal. Thk announcement comes from Rome that the final decision of the Pope regarding the Ivnights of Labor is that there is no ground for interference with them by the Church so long as they remain faithful to their religious obligations. This determination is fully confirmatory of the action originally taken at Rome during the visit of Cardinal Gibbons. The Democrats oi Maryland give the President and his administration an emphatic endorsement. Thev are qiite as enthusiastic as their brethren in Ohio. The Maryland resolutions are greatly to be commended in that they also urge a reduction of taxation as the first duty of the Democratic . House of lteprasentatives. Thus far ? there is harmony all along the line. Little credence is to be placed in the report that the immediate occasion VArrtATTft] TTOP ul vjtciiclul o i > cii >?ao his position as the leader of an intrigue to secure the co-operation of a large number of general officers in an uprising in favor of a monarchy. The story is evidently devised to injure the ex-minister of war in the estimation of the Republicans of France. The French Government evidently has no great confidence in the contention of peace. Gen. Ferron, minister cf war, has asked for more troops and the Senate has passed a bill providing for the increase of the army by eighteen regiments of infantry and four ^ regiments of cavalry. It will be in order for Germany to inquire what this is for, unless, it has grown tired of asking such questions. John Sherman is begging the Ohio Republicans for au endorsement?any sort of an endorsement. His Cincinnati organ declares that a mild one will do, but even if he could commit the Toledo Convention to bare tolerance of his pretentions his case has become hopeless. He was never popular, and his Springfield speech was as great a blunder as his patronage of? Eliza Pinkston. The Queen's refusal to accept the resignation of Lord Charles Bercsford has caused intense satisfaction to the British press.

This is not altogether correct. The I Globe is slightly mistaken as to the j attitude of the "magnanimous North" on this question. That community is and has always been perfectly willing to introduce the aforesaid equality at the South. Offense is taken only when the thing is brought home. We admire the candor of the Globe, but still we think it were -well to state the matter correctly. 31 ii. A. B.

It seems impossible to stamp out the brutal indulgence of sexual passion from a race that in almost all other characteristics is proving itself worthy of the highest rights of citizenship. Two scoundrels were strung up for this offense in Georgia and Virginia on AVcdnesdav bv infuriated mobs, but the hideous instinct seems to yield neither to the terrors of lynch law in the South nor to the influence of climate and good order at the North. AVe have just as many cases in the Middle States of outrageous assaults by negroes upon white women as in the Southern tier, It is but just to say that such crimes meet with the same abhorrence and detestation, and often with tlie same swift retribution, from respectable colored men as from respectable whites, but the frequency of their commission and ihe unprpvailing effect of condign punishment form the one great stumbling block to as full and complete an p.maneiDation of the neirro from preiu dice as he lias obtained from slavery. ?i\T. Y. Star. Bucket-Shop aud Board Gambling. Information comes that the Chicago Board of Trade has "started in on a crusade against the bucket-shops." It has started in on a great many crusades of this kind without producing any permanent eftect. Laws have been enacted to suppress the shops, but in vain, probably for tho reason that the public fails to see any marked difference between the character of much of the Board's business and that of the bucket-shops. Bucket-shop gambling is bad enough, but it is less detrimental to the community than Board of Trade gambling. It does not interfere with the natural course of trade and place artificial prices 011 the necessaries of life. It does not do just enough real business to invite people who care for their reputations to gamoie uncier cover, n does not lure bank officers into losiag millions of other people's money, however il may tempt the smaller fry. Bucket-shop gambling is but a reflex of the semi-masked evil of the Boards of Trade upon which, iu fact, it bases its existence. Eeports of prices bet upon in the boards become public property when they leave the board room, aud the effort to keep telegraph companies from sending them to bucket-shops that will pay for the service will doubtless" fail. This is what the Chicago Board is trying to do.?JV. T. World. Xews to an Editor.

BLOODY DEED OF A CHILD. V Sevcn-Year-Old Colored Girl Beats a Bal?y to Death. A special to the JSews and Courier Torn Greenville, dated July 25, says: Dn Lawrence Fowler's place, aoout fourteen miles from this city, two icgro families lived near together, the [ludsons and the Typings. On Satur!av morning the two mothers of these amilies went off on an all-day visit. Chey came back about sundown and bund that Georgiana Hudson, aged ibout seven years, had killed the roungesfc Typing child, a baby one rear old. All the children told the story of the deed. When the Typings' nother had left her place Georgianna -vent there and carried the two Typing ! ihilcfren up to her mother's house. For ;ome reason, which the children could . lot explain, Georgianna became engaged with the baby and killed it, jeatiug it 011 the head'with a stick and 1 ubbing sand in its eyes and ears. Chen, as if conscious of the enormity )f the deed, she cai/ied the body to "a veil and threw it in. She next seized mother, Typing's child, a boy of five rears, and beat him fearfully, taking 1 latch from the door as a weapon. She then tried to throw him in the veil, but iie resisted vigorously and ;he failed to overpower him. AVheu luestioned she said that she would iave killed him too, but "lie kicked." Trial Justice Voydcn held an inquest . esterdav, in which the preceding facts ; vcrc developed.

' KV WILLIAM riTT PALMER. The following verses are taken from an old scrap book and published by request. The lines are musical and doubtless they will find s, place in many other scrap books: From the quickened wombs, of the primal gloom, The sun rolled bleak and bare, 'Till I wave him a vest for his Ethiop breast, Of the threads of my golden liair; And wren the broad tent of the firmament Arose on its airy staiis, I penciled the hue of its matchless blue And spangled it round the stars. T minted the flowers of Eden's bowers. And their leaves of living green, And mine were the dyes in 1;ne smless eyes Of Eden's virgin queen. And -when the fiends art on <l;e trustful heart Had fastened its mortal spell, In the silvery spere of the first born tear To the l/cmbling earth I fell. When the waves that burst o'er a world accursed, Their work of wrath had sped, And the Ark's own few, the tried and true, Came forth amongst the dead, Witn the wondrous gleams of my bridal I bade, their terrors cease, As 1 wrote on the roll of the storms dark scroll. God's covenant of peace. Like a pa 1 at rest on a senseless breast, Night's funeral shadow slept, When.shepherd swains, on Bethlehem's plains, Their lonely vigils kept, When I flashed on their sitjlir, the heralds U1I?110 Of Heaven's redeeming plan, As they chanted the morn of a Saviour b?rn Joy, joy to the outcast man. Equal favor I show to the lofty and low On the just and unjust I descend, E'en the blind, whose vain spheres roll in darkness and tears, Feel my smile, the best smile of a friend, Nay, the flower of the waste by my love is embraced As the rose in the garden of kings, At the chrysalis bier of the worm I appear, And lo! the gay butterfly wings. ? in** ^ ! lie uesuiiine JtlUlIJ, 11tvc aiwuiugi xuiiLfiu, Conceals all the nride of her charms, 'Til' I bid the brigat hours chase the night from her flowers And lead her young day to her arms: And when the gay rover seeks. Eve for his lover And sinks to her balmv repcse, I wrap the soft rest by the zephyr framed west, In curtains of amber and rose! From my sentinel sleep by the night dreaded deep, 1 gaze wmi unsiunioermg eyas, When tlis cynosure star of the mariner, Is blotted from out the sky! And guided by me through the merciless sea, Though sped by the hurricane's wine, His compassless dark, lone, weltering bark, To the haven home safely he brings. I waken the flowers in their dew spangled bowers, The birds in the chamber of green, And mountain and plain glow with beauty again, As they bask in the manual sheen.

In about five minutes came heavy blows against the wall, jarring the whole house. A short in tervals the knocking was repeated three or four times.

(Anderson Intelligencer.) Glanders are still prevailing among horses in the upper portion of Abbeville county. We learn that a certain well-to-do "farmer in that county killed his horses and mules, and has been requested by government authority to burn down his stables. We regret that sucn a iatai maiaay is prevaicm t in onr county. (Carolina Spartan.) It is generally supposed that sorghum makes a good green food for cattle ond horses. A colored man near Gaffney City had a calf that got out of the posture and attacked a sorghum patch. In a short time after eating it became sick, swelled up and died in a day or two. He cut it open and found the leave5 impacted in the first stomach and as dry as cured fodder. He says that he has heard of other cattle becoming very sick from eating sorgnum. ( Aiken Journal anil Jlccietc.) The insinuating remarks made by some members of the press of the State in reference to Judge Pressley's action in continuing the case against Mr. George Johnstone, of Newberry, are certainly uncalled for. Had the Judge- remained quiet and heard the case, and bad the prisoner been acquitted, the fact of his relationship to the defendant might have been brought out later, aud these same fault-finders would doubtless have been among the first to condemn the Judge for not doing the very thing he has just done. In our opinion the Judge acted wisely. In behalf of iustice it is always better to have an*impartial -Judge presiding when a murder case is being tried. (.Camden Journal.) We failed to get any rain in the immediate vicinity of Camden from the 7th to the ISth nit., and during that time the hottest weather of the year has prevailed. As a consequence the gardens have been ruined and the field crops materially damaged. In some places the corn has been parched up by the intense heat and killed, while in other fields it has been cut short considerably. The cotton fields have also suffered a good deal by the parch ing ancl tnrowins: on 01 leaves anu forms. Ko one seems to be able to recall any year in which so much damage was done to the crops in so fihort a time. The drought-stricken area does not seem to be very extended, as good rains fell in northern Kershaw and portions of West "Wateree on the 11th. {Cheraw Reporter.) Mr. "Watsou, who spoke on the subject "why we are poor" at the commencement of the Mississippi Agricultural College "solved the problem by laying the blame on the tendency to adhere to the old methods of cultivating the soil, and to a ruinous credit system among farmers." The old method must necessarily be the, common way, if by the old method is meant a lack of fancy machinery and high-priced fertilizers, and the credit system is more of an effect than a cause. Of course new ideas and methods are good, but old fashion work and common sense go a long way. The great mistake of the farmers is not raising their home supplies, and after this what hinders their sucfv>cc is nn ailmp.nt that more or less I affects the Southern people generally which when reduced to its last analysis is regular old simon pure?ante belluni laziness.

Everything that can be done to force the cotton?that is everything in the way of manuring and working?is none. Then as the bolls begin to open, I pick the firsj; and in that way make up my hale.

Prttn 'j-< ,u0 :hi; X. Xspre**. For m&ny years my wife had been the victim of ncrr?iu dyspepsia, of the chronic, distressing and apparently in curable type from which so many of her c.zx suffer, languish and die. It was all the worse because the tendency to it was inherited. She luul been under the systematic treatment of many of the best physicians in New York andBrooklyn and elsewhere for twenty years with only temporary relief. In fact, there were few, if any, kinds of food that did not distress her, so diseased, sensitive i * i 11 ~c ana torpiu were an me organs 01 uigcation. The usual symptoms of dyspepsia, with its concomitant ailments, were all present?had taste in the mouth, dull eyes, cold feet and hands, the sense of a load upon the stomach, tenderness on pressure, indigestion, giddiness, great weakness and prostration, and fugitive pains in the sides, chest and back. I have often risen in the night and administered stimulants merely for the sake of tlie slight and transient relief they gave. Intermittent malarial fever set in, complicating the case and making every symptom more pronounced*and intense. By this time the pneumogastric nerves had become very seriously involved, and she had chronic Gastritis, and also what I may be allowed to call chronic intermittent malarial fever all at once. For the latter the physicians prescribed the good, old fashioned, sheet-anchor remedy, Quinine gradually increasing the doses, until ?incredible as it may seem?she actually took thirty grains a day for days in succession. This could not last. The effect of the quinine was, if possible, almost as bad as the twofold disease which was wearing away her strength and her life. Quinine poisoning wa* painfully evident, but the fever was there still. Almost every day there came on the characteristic chill and racking headache, followed by the usual weakness and collapse. About this time I met socially my friend Mr. Norton, a member of the firm of Chauncev Titus & Company, KrnVprc nf A!!?inv. who. or> hfsrinor from me these facts, said: " Why, I have been through almost the same thing, and have got over it." u What cured you?" I asked eagerly. " Kaskine," lie said, u try it for your wife." Ihadseen Kaskine advertised, but had no more faith in it than I had in sawdust, for such a case as hers. Mrs. TLT-11 1 3 1*1. - ' ! _ xauu iiuu no iiigucr opinion, yetonine strength of my friend's recommendation I got a bottle and began its use as directed. Now recall what I have already said as to her then condition, and then read what follows: Under- the Kaskine treatment all the dyspeptic symptoms showed instant improvement, and the daily fever grew iS-; and soon ceased, altogether. Side In' ;hese diseases vanished. ?< sidi* <: rh^r tnrf. ured their victim for ten years?the dyspepsia alone having, as I have said, existed for twenty y .-.irs.

With reifin:: <?f /-innr* nt course, a stead;- i:i;:re;i:>e in flesh, until she now looks like her original self. She still takes K.iskine occasionally, but with no real need of it, for she is well. I consider this result a scientific miracle, and the " New Q.iinine " is en titled to the credit of it, for from the time she began with Kaskine she used 110 other medicine whatever. If you Chink a recital of these facts calculated to do good you are welcome to make them public. (Rev.) JAS. L. HALL, Chaplain Albany, X. Y., Penitentiary. P.
