the invading army, it is difficult to see
what "good Borvion" he rendered "the

If it is, and we can imagino no other,

THE OUTLOOK FOB THE SOUTH.-Th?
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.
Ae the- South never raises corn enough
to have a surplus',1 the value of this crop
must bo estimatod not by its field prioo,
but by the dost oE oom purchased else?
where and delivered at the plantation.

often brought $1.50 to. $2 per bushel, it

The ila rion Crescent cou tains an iu

Gov. Scott, of the parties convicted of
riot, assault and battery ou the occasion
of the disturbance that occurred in that
town last fall. The Crescent, after-re?
viewing the matter, says
"Tho law affords no protection when
there is AU Exeoutive anxious to turn

lators of the law. To do this after hav?
ing pledged his word to the Tax-payers

& farce when the - criminal can wield a

happens now that a con rioted party will

rely on Goveroor Scott's well known
sympathy for criminals. He never fails
thom, and this anxiety to pardon, this
ero nd s rfu I fellow-feeling with criminals,
has disorganized society and produced
whatever of lawlessness is amongst us,
and we charge Robert K. 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

Frenoh l?ave. A imt?ll' Of dough" bod
been prepared for the oven, and placed
on a table. A playful kitten thought it
would be uioe to run over it, it looked so
snowy, warm and tempt tug. Kitty tried
it, und Boon found ber delicate little feot
sinking in tho dough. She struggled to
esuupo, and, like Governor Morton, iu

gled to Biok deeper, until this youthful
ont disappeared entirely, and so, like

She never roso again, but the bread did.

baked it.
When tho bread waa opened at break?

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

then ensued a general packing up. Thc
fashionable Bumtner rosort was left with

CUBE FOB FEVEB AND AGUE.-Tho fol?

what it is worth:
"Wo wish to give a very simple reme?

phasize it by saytug that it has, to our
knowledge, pty>ved very efficacious. It^
is simply common salt. A teaspoonful

That's all there is of it; but knowing
that it bas boen very efficacious iu
'breaking' a chill aud perfecting a cure,
wc put it in our editorial columns, where
no humbug remedy shall over dud a
place, if we know it."
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

that efforts aro making to organize a

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

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.

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

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
