The SOUTH AND THE DEMocRACY.-Th'
Southern people, having found their alliance
with the Democratic party rather improbable
in times past, are beginning to grumble in 8
very ontspoken manner. Thus the Norfolk
old Dominion recalls the unfulfilled prophecies
of the Democrats in 1860, looking to assistance
from the North in the case of secession, and
says the present campaign is the same story
over and over again. 1t says: m
"In Pennsylvania we see Hester Clymer, a
man who opposed the government in every
possible manner all through the war, running
for governor, with plumes stolen from the Phil
adelphia convention decorating the dead car
cass of the old Democratic party. 1t is fore
gone conclusion, these men and their party
VIII pc badly beaten at the polls in the coming
usual"
The conclusion of the Old Dominion from
these premises is as follows: -sr r'
!, II this thing is to continue, we shall urge
the insertion of another section in the nroposed
constitutional amendment, putting It forever

SELECTION OF LAMBs.-Fhe aim of
every, flock master should DC to make
b flock BETTER from year to year.
In order to do this, he must! retain if
! possible his best pecimens--eOth
bucks and ews. Thc eve which ex-
hibits in marked degree the great
est number Of the most desirable
qualities that have shown them
serves in both sides of hen ancestry,
will be the most likely to transmit
those qualities to her progeny.
| In looking over flock OF lambs,
we find very large differeNce among
those Of the same age that have had
the same keeping, and wefe perhaps
sired by the same buck. a IS we com
pare them carefully, we SEE there is
a marked want Of similarity in all
their essential points. There is no
less difference al general confprma-
ton than Of tineness, thickness and
length Of wool, or Of the CO pactness
and symmetrical proportions Ot every
part. We notice those that; repeat
in themselves the qualities that have
been most acceptable in stheiS dams,
and that combine the best character.
istics Of their sire. Such should be
selected as the fopnd@tions,oA which
tc build the next Improvement Of the
flock. This may seem trih(ng work,
but such is not the fact. II requires
the exercise Of a sl1ilful Judgment
only to be obtained by years bf care
full exercise, Many men nali g a Ia
mentable mistake in these, matters,
by making themselves believe that
some particular quality is the one
thing to be gained, and they keep
this so constantly before thh mind
that they cannot see anything else.
We see this fact illustrated in, the in
sane folly which some men m anfest
in efforts to secure large flcac;@s from
their sheep. A mess of fuff that
will weigh 28 or 30 pounas3 taken
from buck, will hide m,lcA "bec

those who strive 10 cover tl,eir sheep
with wrinkles, so thick and 50 large
that "they fall off behind sIiee the
hoops of an old flour barrel these
men don't see that this method of
breeding tends to break up thes fleece
into halfa dozen kinds Of wool. The
first principle in selection shcnld be,
to keep such lambs as present the
greatest number Of good qualities.
AIRY lamb that has an eminent and
glarng defect should never be kept.
Like produces like" and MOST fear
fully SO in all marked defects, there

Iencc, persuade you to keep lamb to
bread from, when these eXgellencics
are Swallowed by an obvious. defect.
Adopt these two principles in the
selection of all lambs that are TO be
kept for the improvement of the flock
and adhere to them, and the result
will satisfy any reasonable expecta-
tons. massachusetts, PIouqhman.

WRESTLING MATCH.
THE REPUTED CHAMPION OF THE UNITED
STATES DEFEATED BY NEGRO.
[From the Nashville trannessee) Dispatch, Oct a.


From tue Nashville tTonnessee) Dispatch Oct 81
Yesterday afternoon the first ex-
element of the sporting season
came off at the race course, in the
shape of a wrestling match, for a
purse of one thousand dollars. The
contestants were a white man, nam
ed Uzile Prickett, the reputed cham
pion Of the United States, and a
negro named Simon Thompson,
raised by Mr. Thompson, few
miles from the city.
At three O. clock the parties were
On the grounds and began preparing
for the struggle. Both stripped to
the waist, the negro performing the
operation in about two minutes,
while his antagonist tired the spec
tators by absorbing about half an
hour in endless manGuvres, display
ing all the while the most complete
satisfaction. The negro hung his
head and looked half detected but
gained spirit before the other had
OOii PlSISu his I'l pai "tiOio O"oiSi"S
torily to himself. The wrestling
was the best two in three, and bet
ting ran three to one on the white
man.
At last the parties clinchcd but
the struggle was q short one, the
negro throwing his antagonist fairly
in few seconds. Still the crowd
seemed to have confidence in the
white man, and the betting was all
one sided.
After resting a few minutes, the
two men we've called to time
Prcikett handled himself cautiously
but the negro had it oil his own way,
and threw his antagonist inside OF
half a minute.
There were probably seven huns
dred spectators present, and loud
cheers greeted the conclusion of each
round. The hackers Of Prickett
were much disappointed in the re
suit of the match and considerable
money changed hands.

THE FAMINE IN INDIA-The re-

around Calcutta The correspon-
Dent Of the London Times, writing
from that city, on the 18th Of August,
says:
The city was being so crowded
with paupers, and a pestilcnce was
so imminent, that the municipal com.
mission and one or two merchants
organized a committee, and on Mon
lay last q public meeting Of all class
IS was held in the town hall to raise
q subscription, Of which reports were
read, giving statistics, which com
ploted to date, show that in 22 places
I,475 poor are daily fed in addition
to the sick in the hospitals, and as
;his number is increasing by about
250 n day, it may be said that 1000
8tarvlings are now subsisting on
charity daily in Calcutta"
Reports from Chilack and Belo-
core arc even more appalling. Says
yEe same authority:
Think Of 900 dead bodies being
picked up in the streets of Belogore
oech morning. Half the truth has
not been told. The last return from
