A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal writes
that the poet Alexander Smith, whose productions
have recently made such a sensation in the literary
circles of Scotland, and are so favorably noticed in
the English Reviews, was, in 1916, "a seedy and

The Coop FORTUNE OF THE ADMINISTRATION
Two facts stand out prominently in the attitude
assumed by the opposition leaders and presses in
respect to the administration of President Pierce.
The first is, that single accusation is any
where brought against it, in relation to its ap
pointments. The second is, that no charge is made
that any appointment has been given to an incom-
petent or incapable man.
Now, considering that the nationality of the po-
sition of the admins traton is not disputed, and
seeing that other accusation is brought against
the Presidents appointees save that some of them
are alleged in past times to have entertained er-
roneous opinions on the sectional issues we appre-
bend that the opposition will not make much
headway with the people so long as they harp
upon nothing else than these appointments. The
people want national policy, and they want the
offices filled by men who will sustain that policy,
and perform their official duties with fidelity and
ability. These conditions being fulfilled by the
administration, the people will not rake up old po-
litical discussions pretence for opposition.
Especially will such attempt at opposition be
Intellectual against an administration which, in its
general management, both of the domestic and
foreign affairs of the country, has shown itself not
only to be beyond the reach of censure, but also
has commended itself to universal appreciation.
The administration has come into power at a time
when, in the judgment of the people, thorough and
efficient reform and renovation are required in all
departments of the public service; and while these
great public requirements fulfilled to the salts
faction of the country; and while the administra-
ton is admitted to be true;n the whole of its
public policy to the broad, national principles upon
which it came into power its enemies will find that
they have undertaken hopeful task in attempting
to bring upon it reproach or dscredt by reason of
the past political errors of some of the men whom
it has appointed to Office. In all this matter the
country will Judge the administration and its official
agents rather by their present opinions, and by
their future official conduct than by reference to
dissensions growing out of astate Of things which
no longer exists Union.

TRUE SPORTS Is CALIFORNIA. 1t is announced
in latest California exchanges that the goth
horse race was to have taken place near Monterey,
observation-disclosures ten miles level country.
The following were the stakes. $4,000 in cash, Ia
side,) one thousand head of cattle, valued at
$23,OOO,) and five hundred young mares, (valued
at $5,OO0,) making in all 10000; $4,000 side.
This is California all over in its n0tiUe character
We suppose the case is about like this: Each Of
the owners of the two steeds thinks his nag the
best in all that neck of woods, and he challenges
all creation to beat him. He is taken up by the
other party. They begin to bet and then to bluff,
and finally each stands up for his own horse with
so much spirit that when the stakes are fixed upon
it is discovered that each has bet about all the
cash, cattle and horses that he is worth. Then
they each have their friends, and they bet largely
also. The ladies, too, come upon the ground,
dressed up in their gayest toggery, and they bet.
The boys bet. Everybody bets, and such time
as they have when the riders are mounted you must
go and see for yourself, to appreciate the exciting
occasion. Gin. Enquirer.

For the week ending the I'd July there were
4O5 deaths in New York. So that enough per-
sons died and were buried in New York in one
week to make smart village. This number was
a falling off of one hundred and 6fty-six compared
with the proceeding week, when the number of
deaths amounted to SCI. This evident improve
ment in the health of the city is attributed to the
publication of the atmosphere by several thunder
storms which occurred during last week.

from an address of Meagher, recently delivered in

the present state Of Europe. How impossible. re-
marks a contemporary, for soul not stirred and
tried in fire, to conceive and utter such things
as these:
AuStria-the whole German family-tongue-
tied the Rhine stagnant in her bed Poland, still
the Niobe of nations, and her estate and children
cut up and parcelled out among the orber; Hun
gary, with the knife at her proud and beauteous
neck Italy, locked within her sculptured sepul-
chre, and profane soldiery keeping watch on it !;
France, grinning in a masquerade, the glare of
which binds men to crimes, of which it is the
senseless and reckless carnival Ireland her people
decaying and disappearing flster than the ruins,
even, which ruthless civilization has yet left
standing on the soil where-where the eye
that scans the history Of this day turn with joy
without grief, without vengeance, without despair
unless it be to this great commonwealth, the
power, the progress, the immensely of which are
mapped outin these mighty waters of the west,
from which l came but yesterday"
