La Belle France.?A correspondent from France of the Chicago Tribune Boye " that the habit of Frenchmen of speaking'-'of' their oonntry as la belle France, though ridiculed by some tra? velers as an expression of. vanity, is folly justified by the charming reality. Ita endless variety of hill and dale, n^ann tain and meadow, its limpid rivers "and streams, its varieties of forest and fruit trees and shrubs, including every pro? duction found in temperate and semi tropical olimateo, the care and taste ex? hibited in its agriculture, the bright Runshioo even of its mid-winter, make France one of the loveliest countries in the world. The climate of France i'b (aid to bo not unlike that of tho Virgi? nias, Carolinas, Kentucky and Tonnes see, though it is not as cold in winter in Northern Franoe as in Kentucky, while Southern France is milder tbun Soaih 1 Carolina in summer. In tho level por? tions of Franoe, there are no fences. There are 5,000,000 furtns, end vast numbers of people are kept watching the live stock when grazing. The farm? ing in France is as good at) in England, and neater and more tasty. The wheat production of France oxcoBds that of the United States. A population about the same as that of tho whole United StateB is subsisted on a territory no larger than the four States of Illinois, Missouri, Iowa and Wisconsin, and al? most destitute of coal for fuel or powor, while tho soil is far inferior to that of those States. And yet, since the farm? ers came into possession of the land, eighty years ago, and ceased to bo te? nants ground into the dust by land? lords, they have more than trebled tho annual products of Franoe. To-day, in spite of tremendous wars and invasions, and of an enormous taxation, which now exceeds 0500,000,000 per annum for na? tional purposes, exclusive of local and municipal burdens,-the country makes a marvelous display of prosperity and wealth. The cause of those wonderful resalta is found in the industry, apti? tude, economy, sobriety and thriftiness of the Fron oh people, bat, above all, in the emancipation of tho farmers from the degraded condition of landless serfs and elevation into that of independent free-holders, with no landed aristocrats to seize tlicir . earnings and squander them npon their own selfish indulgences. Trouble in the Camp.?The Wash? ington organ of onr colored fellow citi? zens?edited by Fred. Don-glass and family?fired this shot, the other clay: "This journal has stood by the lie publican party simply because that party stood by the negro. Up to this time, we have bad some bnt no vital reaeous of complaint, and wo hope never to have any; but it should be understood that fair dealing towards ns by our political associates is the indispcnsablo grounds of any tliiug worth the name of political I cp-partnership, and should the time ever arise when our people feel that their interests have been sucrifioed in the slaughter of any of their representative?, j we are but the servants of our raoe, nud mast link our fortunes with their de? mand." Which means that the aforesaid organ considers the chief end nud aim of the .Republican party to be tho champion? ship of the African race, and whenever that championship is not properly con? ducted, "tho band of Douglass is his own,".and bo will proceed to place it where il will do ihn most good. This in \ _L-.-i.-1q m l^SmI? ioouu, ?_icu luu domi? nant party will do well to heed; for it comes from one having authority, and not from a Democratic scribe or a Con sorvativo Pharisee. Doaglass is a power in the land, and whenever he sounds tho alarm, the ohildren of Ethiopian Israel will betake themselves to their tents and ooncoct a general stampede which may break a good many political slate9. The immediate causo of this solemn warning is the Sonnte's treatment of P Pinchback.?Chicago Tribune, (Rep.) TheLowbf.y Gang.?The lost of the baud of Robeson Coonty (North Caro? lina) outlaws?Steve Lowrey?for whom a reward of $7,000 or $8,000 had beou o?ered, was disposed of on tho 221, by three young men. IIo was shot dead. Thu band whose extinction is made com? plete by tho death of Slovo Lowroy, originally consisted of live aotive mem? bers, viz: Thomas Lowroy, Andrew Strong, Stephen Lowroy, Henry Berry Lowrey and Doss Strong; and they wero aged as follow, nt the time they wero killed: Thomas Lowrey, 37; Andrew Strong, 35; Stephen Lowrey, 31; Henry JJerry Lowrey, 28; Boss Strong, 19. Stephen Lowrey was about fivo feet ten inches high, of dark, swarthy oomplex ion, und of mixed Indian and negro blood; some of his ancestors, it is said, having belonged to tho famed Tusoa roro tribe. Ho was by all odds the boldest of tho notorious outlaw bund; destitute of tho moral courage and other elements of leadership which character? ized his younger brother, Henry Berry, bat notoriously his superior in fierce de? termination and brute, bull-dog courage. Fortunately for the good people of Robeson County, ho is now dond, and the sorrows of more than n score of desolated h?rnen have been avenged, ? ? ? - A noiseless hinge for saloon back? doors has been invented.
