T , •» l . , i'. ~r •<r T' \ . _ I l' -v Tli« t«d«|»endciu Voicn aad ike Our esteemed contenporary, Har* per’a Weekly,, uka the &nowin£ qnce. lion, which topchca the core of the I’ro- •Mential i*rc for IWW) > • “How m*ny ot those who are not l>0mocrata, but who enpported Mr. Tiklcn in 186d, really suppose that he or any other Democrat, even Mr. Bay ard or (icheral Hancock, could or would enforce a wiser policy in regard to the Southern States, or the finances or administrative reform, than that of this Republican Administration ?“ This qnestinn refers to the class of unattached and fluctuating voters who In 1876 defeated Mr. Hayes and gave the election to Mr. TjJden, and who will certainly be stronger in 1*880 than they were threo years ago. It was im patience with Grant and (ipntism . __^vliich. canied them to tlw IVniocraHc sidc in 1876. What general corwidcrn- fions will influence them in 1880? Go lar as present indications go it is the Southern question which will be upper most among the questions of that ^enr. Why Harper’s Weekly should ooiffTno lo the present Administration of Hayes 'the comparison'1t TuggestH is irqt quite clear, unless it he that there is a plan on foot to renominate Mr. Hayes and to carry his present Cabinet" through all ot her four year's tf^m, Suppose we put the question in tin's form : “Is thiTT reason to think that M r. t Bayard as ]’resident ia 1881 could or would en- _ force a wiser policy in regard to the Southern States than Mr. Hayes?” It will he conceded on all hands, wo think, that in past and .present oppor tunities for forming a correct opinion of the needs of the Federal service Mr. Bayard has now no superior in the Re publican ranks. Nor will educated voters in the East, at least, and of the class'referred to by Harper's Weekly, deny that in all that rclatis to taxation, finance, money and adniin’strative re form, us well ns in the purity of his public and private life^ Mr. Bayard is the peer of any candidate whom the Republicans can put in the field. The Republican party and Mr. Hayes have suddenly adopted a policy which b-fftthiWl nrly diitrurt *Tthr u ritV~-mrt~ hostility toward it,. Every effort of that iwrly appears intended to tench the black race to abhor mid dread their neighbors of the white race. This can only end in promoting an armed strife of races in the Sontb. What good can come to those two races, thus made hos tile to one another, o> through their hostility to the rest of the Union, from nny President in the Whllfl Hound" who v is controlled by such “stalwart" passions and prejudices? Even Mr. Kvtrts is currently reported to have gone so far n<» publ'cly to attack the character of the whole white race at the South. Can reasonable and practical men of busi ness at the North doubt that the South ern problem would bo better, more quickly aud- more safely solved in tbc interest of the whole Union with a statesman like Mr. Bayard in the White House, who has the confidence and affection of the Southern people, than with a howling “stalwart" there ? What answer do the laws of human na ture make to such a question ? Nobody doubts that Mr. Bayard is ns firm for the Union as is Mr. Hayes or Mr. Kvarts, and at least as devoted to the Federal Constitution which upholds that Uuion as either of them—as well trained and as strong iu everything which makes for civilization as either of them —as determined as either of them that “Yasoo” methods of government shall cease out of the land. Can any one doubt which of the three would natur ally exert as 1’resideut the greater otfi- c ial and personal influence for good over the white men of the South ? Which of the threo could or would, in the lan guage of Harper’s Weekly, ‘ enforce, the wiser policy in regard to the Southern States?” For we not only need a poli cy and the wisest policy, but wo need to see that policy enforced. Does any man of business believe that the “stalwart" policy of to-day, being much the same as that carried daring thirteen years, from 1805 to 1878, by the Radicals, is n wise policy? What have its fruits been ? Have the self-restraint and the intelligent comprehension of law which alone make high civilization possible anywhere been promoted in the South by the policy of Thaddens Steaveus and Grant ? ten yiars, and they cry for me when I’m around home.

Any man might have envied the con fidence with which a stoat bailt young man of 23 entered the headquarters of the Augusta Fire Department a few days ago and said to the Secretary ; “I want to jiae eue of jour luashcons." “Do yon mean that you want to be- ODine a fireman ?” “That’s exactly what I mean. My name is Philo Noble. The first name is spelt IMi-i-l-o, hot all the boys call me ‘File’ after they get acquainted.” ' “Have you. ever sent iu an applica tion ?*’ inquired the Secretary. “Never.

Put down my name, and say that I’m 27 years old, sound as a load of sand, single, good natured, and that I’ve saved four women, seven children, two dogs and a. parrot from the ail-devouring flames jduring my career as a fireman.” 1 * “Who will endorse your application ?” “Every man who ever run with old Ko, 1, or HI knew the reason why ?

I’ve frekod more'n a dozen of ’em iu the last ^Another boarding- house busted up, I see,” sighed a venerable Detroit land lady, as she laid down her paper. “Well, it must have been extravagance nt the table. That’s what bankrupts seven out of ten, and oven then the hoarders are crying ‘hash !' and com plaining of poor meals. Now I run a hoarding-house fur twenty-two years, and I made money aud heard no com plaints. How did 1 do it? Why, it’s ull in planning. For instance, a neck- piece of mmton can be cut to look like a rib roast, and a little extra fire makes it just as tender. Lawd save you ! I’ve been complimented a thousand .times on my selection of choice spring lamb when the meat was mutton four years old, and the toughest parts at that! The idea of spring chicken on a boarding house table is absurd—aye! almost wicked. In my palmy days I could take a tough old hen, pound the body with the petato-masher for ten minutes, and set betore my boarders a feast to make every heart glad. Now I’ll venture that there aren't ten landladies in the city that ean bake a pig’s head and slice oil’ the meat in a manner to make every body believe that be has tbc choicest cut in a pig’s body, and it’s a wonder to mo that there aren’t more failures. Lots of landladies buy nice, fresh butter, and thus tempt a man to eat live or six bis- eu'ts, or half a loaf of bread. What economy 1 I always had my nice butter on the table at breakfast, wheu we had little but tons’., aud the boarders got along on old butter the other two meals. It is all in the planning—all iu the plan- niug. I us'd to have beefsteak every morning. Three mornings in tV week 1 bought sirloin, which is very nice, you know, and the other four mornings 1 bought neck-pieces and rubbed the case- knives over the grindstone. Give a boarder a sharp knife and a tough steak, aud he'll never make a com plaiut—never, lie’ll put the blame ou bis teeth, and the more steak he leaves on his plate the more rabbit pic you have for dinner.”— Detroit F r ee Press. What is a Leual Jurt ?—A party was tried before a Trial Justice recently iu lAixington. On Ids trial he demand ed a jury of twelve. The justice ruled against him, allowing him only six, the number fixed by the statutes. Heap- led to the Circuit Court, and Judge the sustained ch the Constitution ppeal, holding guarantees trial by jury it means a jury of twelve men. In India, snakes alone, in 1877, kill ed nearly 17,000 persons, and tigers, elephants, leopards and other wild beasts nearly 3,OflO more. Efforts were made at the same time to destroy the animals, but without apparent reduction of the numbers. About 127,000 snakes and 22,000 wild beasts were killed, and 360,000 were paid in rewards for tneir destruction. ^ Sound Advice.—-A boy undertook to torture a wasp by touching a lighted ... match to its body.
