Supplement to the Fairfield Herald. Courier Jouritalisms. We want no stronger evidence to show that the fool-idller is dead than the more fact that the editor of the Washington Jlepublican isn't. A correspondent writes to ask us who John Noble is. He is the howl ing racoon of Jackson's Purchase, and can swallow more sorpents, whip more wild cats, and cut the pigeon wing over more red-hot bars of iron than any skunk or lizard in Southern Kentu cy. It is said that aimong the statutes of Massachusetts is an unrepealed law which lines a young mnn for walking out with his swoet-heart after sundown. Enforce such a law here, and you would crush out rapture onough to set up a small sized paradise. The Washington 14'ulican says; "The number of editow s of Northern Republican newspaperp, whon it wore base flattery to call idiots, is constantly increasing." This the editor of the Republican might have nnticipated when he placed himself at the head of the list. They say that the ladies are now wearing stockings that cost $30 a pair. "We have often noticed the exquisite (uality oft the stockings that have fallon unde.' om- ob'iserva tion, but never having :h mght, in the hurry of the moment, o inquire their cost, we really can't say whether the report be true or filso. Grant's central or'ga-n, the Wash ington Repuldican, tells its readers that it is the avowed purpose of tho Mississippi Democrats to carry that State at the next election through extormination or forciile in timida tion of the negro voters. If the physical proportions of the editor of the Jrulbican were but half equal to his capacity to lie, he would be compelled to- stoop, Ftinding flat-footed, to hang his liat on the dome of the capitol. Wdi:n 3. Twce 1, in Li llow streot jutil, soes nobody but his fni lv, his physii:m - and his lawyers. Mr'. Tweed visits him daily and1 his counsel ahfout as often. It is cuv t >inmiry at the jail when, for conveni onc, a prisoner wishes to be out in the pure air for a few hours in tho o npanly o! an office'.. to grant him hat privilege for a fee not fixed, but assessOd according to the amount of bail, in default of which he is ield-a kind of d.iscounting of the risk involved. Mir. Tweed's bail is fixed at $3,000,000, and half a day's liberty in his case woul I be schedul ed at about 8100. lie has only .vailed himself of this lilense once however. having no nionev, as one of the Order of Arrest oficers says. fo' anybody but his lawyers. Tlls solitary instance was a few days after his arrival at the jail, when h wvent hoie for two oir three hours. When lie Ieft Blackwell's Island Tweed spent the night be iorc giing to court, wheneo lie wvas ro it to his present quarters, at his house in Fifth avanuc. For. that attention to his comfort lie has paid nothing yet, and lie is not expected !o payn an.ytling. His familiar' fi gure is doubtless one element of his indisposition to go out, as it would inevitably be reognized in any pl)Uic place. He pays $50 a week for his accommodations in doors, anmd the cost of auny visitin's lhe may wish to do befor'e lie gets out of jail, which lio thinks wil. i be mnore than six imnths, go~es a. the Order of Arrest D.anatment.--I N Y. World. Judge Burnham, or the "Boston Tachygraphiic Society, p~roposed to! dr1op) te letter "a" from "head," and "ugh" from "though," as "u" was1 dropped from "labor," "honor'," and "valor," amid "k" from "almanac," "music," anid "logic." Millions of miinutes anid money are lost in writ ing useless letters. We should adhere to thme phomnetic rule of let ting each letter have only one sound and each sound one letter. The pe of a rapid writer travels a mile in five and a half hours, and makes more thaun forty millions of strokes in al Ver. The suggestions of Judge Mackoy to the Grand Jury at the opening of the present term of court, the strong endorsement of these suggestions by the Grand Jury, and the instructions delivered by his Honor when the re port of the Grand Jury had been read, give assurance, to a dead cor tainty, that the days, or rather the nights of these receivers of stolen goods will soon end. Under those instructions, the Grand Jury, upon evidence being furnished will indict as a nuisaneo any person who buys at night, tany agricultural product, cotton corn, wheat, potatoes, or any thing e!se, whether stolen or not. T~e romedy, we bolieve, will be a inenltiah% sovereign one. The crops of the country being exposed to the depre latio's of sneak thieves and night prowlers, and the manipula tions of night-buyers, should be, and are, the object of the law's spoeial proteotion. Judge Mackey is de terniriied tha t the fullest protection shall be given.-eser Re porter. The Prince of Wales has mado all his arrangements for his progress through India. His baggage (and it is oxceodingly volumninous) was put on board the Scrapig on Wedncs.lay. He will cross the channel and pro c: ed by rail to Brn.lisi, Italy, where lie will meet the vessel and embtrk, pr,.c 3eding through the Suez canal to In lii. It is probable that the question of tie Prince's costume has been decided upon, and lie will douabtless appear in all the gorgeous trappings of the orient, for a black ( ess coat and pants, white kids and lavonder neck tie would not meet w'th the approbation of the high toine-: Hindoos. Bull Run Russell aocompanies the Prince to writo up t'ie aff'tir for the London Times. Bion vcyage, Alfred Edward A Te-ith Ward.1o-, rather un,.1c the infitinee of liquor, approached an qaitance the other day and remnarked: "See ere, Bill, thve say you v .lled me.. a sheep-thief."'
