Notwithstanding all the talk about non
intercourse, more shoes than ever are i'm.
ported by the South from New England
The reason Is, that so many Southern Demo
crats are kicking against party rule.
y Virginia Democratic paper, speaking of
the Charleston Convention want of action
after the 81 S0uthrons had left il, says
Had nominations been made by Con-
yention in which all the States were not re-
presented, 1t would have weakened che power
Of the only party that pretend 10 be nation
al =" So the democracy are - the Only party
that pretend to be national" This is frank
confession.
The season iC without parallel, the
drought being Of unprecedented length, and
men look for rain as intently as Eliiah's
servant looked for it from Mount Carmel
Here in the city, thanks TO the Cochituate,
there is no abatement Of the luxury, but
suburban friend says. we hardly know what
soft water IS like, it has become SO much of
a luxury If truth indeed ever lies at the
bottom Of a Well. it must be in days like
these, when wells do their Office so i'll; and
dry time the nude dame must have of it
talking a mud bath, If there should be no
change in the wheather. Like the MahOme-
tans Of the desert, we shall have to wash in
sand They have had a food in Baltimore,
lucky people We think the last days Of
the antediluvian world must have been
mighty pleasant DAYS, ,showery, but not dusty.
1t is consoling to know that anniversary week
is at hand, when it must rain.-Boston

The BAIN.-After 50 long delay we ars
blessed with % most refreshing rain. a very
slight shower FIJI about midday Friday,
and during the night one much moro album
dant. The brigbteued look Of nature all
around, next morning, testified to its vlyiy-
ing influence. Saturday, warm showers
occurred frequently, and the thirsty earth
has drunk them in as they fell with an eager
ness which every one has BEEN dsIghtel to
see. About the middle Of tn afternoon a
thunder cloud gave quite q smart iall Of
hail for a few minutes. Considering
how long the drought has contin-
ued, it has been matter Of surprise
to many that vegetation has not slff red far
more than it has IN this vicinity. From all
accounts we judge that the lack Of rain has
been more severely felt IN some other parts
of our State than right about here. We
have been told that in some quartrrs-Tar-
ticulurly in the Northeastern part Of the
State vegetation has hardly started at all.
Here, though quite feeble, the grass has
come forward considerably, and ;he Gowth
Of the frult trees is large ana promising. We
hope that the benefits of this rain are widely
felt.

\ Washington letter-writer INDUCES in
the following pertinent remarks opropos Of
the Japanese Embassy:
''And, by the way, the question has been
raised as to the color of these visitors. Can
it be that this administration, which refuse
a passport to a black man, will bestow the
most fattering attentions upon set of Co
lored men? If so, where is the distinction?
Did the Dred Scott decision only disfran-
chise Africans, or was our glorious constitu
ton made only for white Americans or An
glo Sazons? The japanese do not belong to
E'the white race" and Democrats every
where claim that every other race Is stamped
as inferior by the constitution. Shall we
bow down before the "colored" japanese
and make great national sensation about
them, and then turn round and administer
additional insults TO the race on our soil Of
the same hue?" t

SOPHOMORE EXHIBITION.

Thursday evening, May Il, the annual
exhibition Of TIE Sophomore Glass in the
University took place in the Chapel. A
crowded and attentive assembly was present,
and the exercises, as a whole, were above the
ordinary mark for those Of hat standing in
College. Considerable inequalities, both in
the treatment of subjects and in the manner
of presentation, are to be looked for
on such an occasion. Allowances have to
be made for youthful timidity, and for lack
of experience in composition, and in the ut
terance of their own thoughts bv a class Of
young men, most of whom, for the
first time in their lives, appear in
that way before mixed assembly. There
are also natural differences in strength and
clearness of voice which affect the imresp-
siOns made on an audience. Time and culture
will do much to improve in these particulars
some of those who spoke on Thursday even
ing. We heard 10 one of them except with
pleasure and all Of them will re the better

their collegiate duties. Below is the order
