Washington Patriot concludes an article reviewing the condition of the Southern crops, in the light of the latest and most trustworthy reports, with the following remarket "The decline of the cotton crop in pounds will at least be compensated by ' an increase in price, and this will show a net gain on tho part of tho South of 25 j percent, saved by tho plan tors in freight and fuotors' ob arges. The increase in the: corn crop will represent a qlcar | : money gain to the fall value of that in? crement' delivered on 'chango, sicco, witbout'it, plantors. would have had to buy Western corn to 'supply the deficit.

SAD OOO^BBBNOB-A NOBLE BOY.-1 very sad accident occurred in the village ol Omnitevillo.?yestorday. A little girl, the daughter of Mr. John L.

A small boy,. only ten pr twelve years of. ago, named Dempsey GULilaud, eaw the .child when she fell, and imme? diately leaped into the oaual to har rescue.

The ila rion Crescent cou tains an iu dignant protest against tho pardon, by Gov.

The Crescent, after-re? viewing the matter, says "Tho law affords no protection when there is AU Exeoutive anxious to turn loose upon tho country convicted vio lators of the law. To do this after hav? ing pledged his word to the Tax-payers Convention not to do so, proves him ut? terly unworthy of belief, no matter how fair he may promise. - To speak the plain truth, in fact, I he sentence of the law is & farce when the - criminal can wield a little influence, and this ia well under stood by convicta, BO that it frequently happens now that a con rioted party will waive his - chanceo for a new trial, how Bver godd they may be, and manufaotur lng a petition of friends and relatives, rely on Goveroor Scott's well known sympathy for criminals.

Scott with be? ing tho prime cause and real originator nf the disturbances which now stain the fair name of South Carolina. Look at Camden! See tho same scene almost identical, even in its details, and enacted thero the day before these rioters wore pardoned I This is the ono result, and the answer to the question, what are wo to do? is, unless you aro ready to bear injury heaped upon injnry, insult upon insult, outrngo upou outrugo, bo monly, be ready, openly and mun fully to guard those whom God requires you to protect and, to assort thoso rights by tho relin? quishment of which you shame and dis? grace his best handiwork."3 THE GREAT TELBORAPH LINK IN RUS?

Kitty tried it, und Boon found ber delicate little feot sinking in tho dough. She struggled to esuupo, and, like Governor Morton, iu tho stolen treaty business, only strug? gled to Biok deeper, until this youthful ont disappeared entirely, and so, like young Liiuobiuvttr, wont into the yeast. She never roso again, but the bread did. It closed over this unfortunate specimen, not leuvtug a huir apparent.

When tho bread waa opened at break? fast, next morning, thc birds did ?ot begiu to siug, but tho boarders did. They fairly howled with wrath. They knew that there had been a family of kittens, and as hash had been served for breakfast before this extraordinary loaf was opened, tho conclusion was natural that tho other part of tho family had gouo into tho hash aud down their throats. They were first taken with Bca flickoesa, next with hoine-sicknesn, and then ensued a general packing up.

CUBE FOB FEVEB AND AGUE.-Tho fol? lowing appears as a leuding editorial iu the Cleveland Herald, and wc give it for what it is worth: "Wo wish to give a very simple reme? dy for favor aud ague, and wish to em? phasize it by saytug that it has, to our knowledge, pty>ved very efficacious.

The New York Citizen bas au account of. a team of trained sturgeons which draw a boat on the Lehigh Canal: "The driver has bis scat iu the bow and directs their course with a goad, whiob is a long pole as thick as cue's wrist, with a sharp spike sticking out nt right angles from the ead, and it is surprising with what alacrity they obey. When they are to be turned to tho right or left, a sudden prick on the opposite side of each stur? geon causes the pair to tako tho desired course. When a greater speed is desired they are pierced near tho tail; when they are required to halt the goad is reached forward, and they are pricked iu front of the head.".

WOMAN- SUFFRAGE IS UTAH.-Tho women of Utah have now got, in addi? tion to existing privileges, tho much coveted right of suffrage, and they ex? hibit a becoming anxiety to prove them? selves "worthy of tho trust reposed." Peripatetic committees oro to be ap? pointed to wait upon every legal voter, und, if n?ed bo, awaken her to tho im? portance of tho occasion. Af ter the dis? charge of this somewhat indefinito duty, ?special warnings are to be given to tho confiding sisterhood to beware of those "who condescend to the meanest frauds to turu the ballot ia favor of heartless demagogues." Thus armed against the wiles of unscrupulous politicians, the womcu of Utah propose to advance to the polls with "a diguity and circum? spection of deportment" which will doubtless impress all beholders, and bu? gin tho exercise of that great elevating influen?a upon politios which the women, suffragist* so confidently promise us. The experiment of female suffrage, how ovor, cannot bo fairly tested in .Utah. It is obvious that, .as a general thing,, the wife may be expected to vote as her hus? band does, and therefore the man who has fifty wives has an undue advantage over Che proprietor of a smaller number, and so on down to the man who has no wife at all. A ROMANCE OF LIFE.-Tho "Elective Affiuities" of Goethe have been revived iu real life near Troy J A woman eloped, some time since, with a railway con? ductor, each leaving a connubial partner and child behind. Soon after, the de sorted husband fell heir to a fortune of 8100,000, and his truant wife, heariogof bis good luck, returned to aid him iu its enjoyment. He would not have her, and obtained a divorce. About the same time, the wife of the conductor obtained a divorce from her recreant lord, and ihe common suffering of the deserted couple' brought thom into sympathy, wediook, aod oombiuatioo of the family interests. Tho elopers have also obtained divorcee, and are to be united. Truth is stranger thou fiction. WAS HB SOUND ON THE GOOSE?-We see from the telegrams that James L. Rider has been arrested in New York for bigamy, "he having a wife in Ports? mouth, Va." The question is, did Mr. Rider "render good service to the cause of the Union" during the war? If h? did not, ho ought by all meena to bo punished. The luxury of having two wives at ooco is a privilege to be enjoyed by nono but tho loyal. As Mr. Rider married "in Pennsylvania last year, aud again last mouth in Poughkeepsie," he is probably all right. Tho statistics of immigration iudicata a considerable decrease in the arrivals of foreigners for the year ending July Cth, as compared with thu arrivals up to the same time last year. The arriving aliebi at New York number for this year 116,211; nt the same date last year 129,855 landed at thut port. It is quite evident from this showing that, so fur at least, tho anticipated immigration from Alsace and Lorraiue, aud other portions of tho districts ravaged by tho late European war, has not developed itself to any groat extent. A young lady member of tho choir in a church iu Lyons leaned too far over tho gallery daring the sermon, on Sunday, to look at a new bonnet or something of tho kind, and, losing hor balance foll headlong plump upou tho hoad of a deacon, bounding thence into tho aisle, very much demoralized, but not seriously, hurt. The ' deacon complains of tho headache. But the siugor joiued in the lust hymn. . An idea of the value of tho works of art aud precious books .destroyed within Finers' house in Paris, may be formed from the faot that they were insured for 400.000 francs. Tho whole mystery is explained at last: "Religion is simply a recurrence to tho human mind of tho facta of tho uni? verso." So says John Weiss, a chief light of the Boston Free Religionists. A special committee has been raisod in the Connecticut Legislature for the pnrpoBo of canvassing the subject of divorce, with a view to a general revision af the laws relating thereto.
