Female M arR re.

1t is somewhat strange that female
suffrage should receive its death-blow
in New York State ut the hands OF that
progressive philosopher aud ardent en-
tbnsiast i'm all matters new and strange,
HORACE GgEELET, aud that the Radi-
cal party should be the one to deny this
extension of the suffrage which its own
members advocate. SUSAN ANTHONY
and BETSY STANTON, seem to have
convinced Mr.. GREELEY and his
Radical associates, but the committee
that is, the Radical majOrity-seem to
have gone back ON their convictions.
The spirit, indeed, was willing, but the
flesh was weak. However defensible
i'm theory" say Mcssrs. GREELEY Il Co.,
1--WE are satisfied that public sentiment
does not demand, and would not sustain,
an innovation so revolutionary and
sweeping" Hence they propose to give
pnblic sentiment no opportunity to ex-
press itself, which is all that is asked by
the advocates of the measure, and
which the Democracy, ut least, IS per
frctly ready to grant. But III the
matter of negro suffrage, strange
10 say, this consideration for pub
lie sentiment does not seem to have
been 80 closely regarded. Instead OF
pursuing the course which has obtained
hitherto, aud placing the matter OF
suffrage in a separate article to be voted
upon by itself, the Radical majority
propose to incorporate it i'll the COnstl-
tution. and force either the adoption OF
that measure or the rejection OF the
whole work of the Convention. There
ism too evident purpose to give the
blacks an unfair advantage and to de-
prive the women of an equal chance.
The minority report, signed by Nessrs.
CASSIDY and SrALNAKEE--whoc constitu-
ted Il minority for the reason that they
were the only Democrats on the COM
mittee-was remarkably sound and
able. 1t urged that the suffrage
amendment be submitted separately to
the people, and that the naturalization
laws be not changed SO as to unjustly
affect the elections of 1868 and 1869
The question of female suffrage was
left to the tender mcrcics of its warning
advocates in the Radical ranks, when
partizan policy and trickery have al-
ready killed it for tie sake of the ne

The government ip the Southern States
will tnrm he az absolute despOtism as

The authority conferred upon the com

Government laughed at, and the last

Negro self-Gsvernn, n,cnt.

Some time ago certain philanthro-
pists who proposed to develop tho ne
gro's capacity tor self-support and self
government, established community
of freedmen near New Smyrna, Florida.
1t is now stated that the Sub-Assistant
Commissioner for the Sub-District Of
New Smyrna, reports that the colonial
lion has been attended with unfortunate
circumstances and results. The colo
nistS themselves declare that i'll almost
every particular they have been disap-
pointed and deceived. Their condition
is reported as very destitute, and those
who still remain, some having left for
other PORTIONS of the State, have neith-
cr labor, houses, provisions, nor means
to get out of the country, and must, of
necessity, for some months to come, be

be laid in NJ. Dorine's tomb, in the cem-
etery Msntmartre.
.The tomb requires few words of de-
scription. First there was grating OF
filigranted iron; through this You look
into small vestibule or hall, at the
end of which was massive door of oak
opening upon a short flight of stone
steps descending into the tomb. The
vault was fifteen or twenty feet square,
ingeniously ventilated from the ceiling,
but unlighted. 1t contained two sar-
cOphagi; the first held the remains OF
Madam Dorine, long since dead; the
second was new, and bore on one side
the letters J. d., in monogram, inter
woven with tieurs-de-lis.
The funeral train stopped ut the gate
of the small garden that enclosed the
place of burial, only the immediate rel
atives following the bearers into the
tomb. A slender wax candle, such rs is
used in Catholic churches, burnt at the
foot of the uncovered sarcOphagus, cast
ing n dim glow over the centre of the
apartment, and deepening the shadows
which seemed to middle together in the
corners. By this tlickering light the
coffin was placed in its granite shell,
the heavy slab laid over it reverently,
and the oaken door revolvcd on its
rusty hinges, shutting out the uncer-
tain ray of sunshine that had ventured
to peep in on the darkness.
NJ. Dorine, muffled in his cloak, threw
himself OH the back seat OF the car
riage, too abstracted in his grief to OBJ
serve that he was the only occupant of
the vehicle.
The rattle Of wheels had died out of
the air when Philip opened his eyes, be-
wildcred, like a man abruptly reused
from slunbcr. He raised on one arm,
and stared into the surrounding black
ness. Where was he! In second the
truth flashed upon him. He had been
left in the tomb! While knceling on
the farther side of the stone box perhaps
he had tainted, and in the last solemn
rites his absence had been unnOticed.

Hen Wood a Loser Of $4,000

The New York Citi-ca ofSaturday has
the following:
We learn that Brother Ben Wood got
hit with red hot poker about ten days
ago-a "draw poker" in fact-to the
sum of $45, ,0OO-the winner being u prom
minent and respected member OF the
upper house of our Common Council, in
whose success the whole city would re-
joice, if we only dared to give his name.
This is a fact, and it was a hand of three
aces against three queens that com
menced the heavy business. The game
was played near the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, in the same room and at the
same table where Brother Ben, not
long since, won SIPS 900 in one evening
from Congressman John Morrissy.

"Non explosive oil" is a great institu-
ton. The word "nOn" would have
about the same meaning if prefxed to
benzine or gunpowdcr. Last Tuesday
evening negro, with selt-generatlnG
stove and fixtures on dray, for some
credulous customer i'll Memphis, was
proceeding along the street, when can
of oil belonging to the "fxtures" ex-
ploded with loud report, and volume
of tlame-proving conclusively that the
oil was "self generating"-quite so. No
great harm was done. The mules tail
was reconstructed, and the negro's
wool badly singed, to his great alarm
and disgust.

FAR AWAY.

The land IL very far Off ''-Iaaiah xxxiii,
Upon the shore
OF everInore
We sport like children at our play;
And gather shells
Where sinks and swells
The mighty sea from far away.
Upon that beach,
Nor voice nor speech,
Doth things intclligibly say;
But through our souls
\ whisper rolls
That comes 10 us from far away,
Into our ears
The voice Of years
Comes deeper, deeper, day by day
We stOOp TO hear,
AS IL draws near,
Its awfulness from far away.
At what il tells
We drop the shells
We were 80 full of yesterday;
And pick no more
Upon that shore,
But dream of brighter far away.
And DER that tide,
Far out and wide.
The warnings of our soul dO stray;
We long togo
We do not know
Where it may be, but far away.
The mighty deep
Doth slowly creep
I-nnn thp shore where WI. did MAY,
The very sand
Where We did stand
\ moment since, sweeps far away.
Our playmates all
Beyond our call,
Are passing hence, ~ We, too, rnay-
Unto that shore
Of EvcrmOrc,
Beyond the bOundlesS far away.
Wen trust the wave,
And Him to save;
Beneath whose feet ~ marble lay
The rolling deep,
For He can Keep
Our souls in that dim far away.

We are now, says the Abingdon rr-
giaian, in the midst of the wheat harvest
in Southwestern Virginia. As far as
we have observed, and have been able
to hear, the crop is the best that has
been harvested for years. The oat crop,
which for a time threatened failure, has
been greatly improved by the late rains,
and will yield ut least an average.
Corn looks thrifty, and though late
planted and backward, promises good
yield. Take the crops all round, we
have had no better for years.

The Obi Worship.

Advices from the South state that
"Obi" worship is spreading among the
negroes. The rites are conducted with
the utmost secrecy, and aside from its
being q species of idolatry very little is
known regarding it. 1t is the peculiar
religion of the natives of Africa, and
since the emancipation of the negroes
in Hayti, it has been extensively prac-
ticed there. 1t has been almost un-
known in this country until within the
last year or so. Since that time it has
spread with great rapidity among the
freedmen, who gather in secret haunts
during the night to practice the horrid
rites. The negroes are fast relapsing
into n state of barbarism, now that they
are free. The Cross and the Numbo
Jumbo are worshiping together now,
and sacred biblical names are Joined
with those of cannibal gods with Il
frequency never before known. Left
to himself he plunges into the lowest
depths of idolatry and superstition
as naturally as a fish takes to the
water.

SWINE AND THEIR STIEs.--As land be-
comes cleared and farms regularly cul-
tivated and improved, pigs have to he
confined "A portion of the year, and not
allowed to leave the yards unless
there is particularly well fenced close
for them to run in, which there should
be ON every farm adjoining the home
stead; then i'll summer they can get halt
their living by grazing, and will grow
faster, and come up to be tatted III such
u healthy state that they will thrive
and lay ON hesh and fat better for the
liberty they have enjoyed, SOws kept
to breed will succeed i'll raising more
and better little ones for ranging about
small field, with pond or stream of
water running through it and if all are
accustomed to 80 to their own sty every
night, and each lot to be fed with some
swill, ETC., they will pay for the extra
feed. The year before last was on Il
place where there was no field or wood
with fence to prevent pigs from get
ting through or under, but there was 4
spacious yard into which the piggery
opened, and every day the whole of
them turned into it. The last week in
April few acres of turnips were drill
ed OH ridges drawn out on poor sandy
hill, which had become too weak to
grow grain; about eight tons per acre of
barn-yard manure was covered in, and
they came all right and did well. In
the first week in July the bottoms were
large enough to begin pulling, and the
pigs had a one horse cart load daily till
I,.t l,.
ips were thrown about the yard and
greedily devoured by the old and young,
and they had nothing else till the corn
was tit to husk, and no lot of pigs could
have done better than they did, grow
ing and keeping i'll good condition all
the while, ami towards the latter part
of the time mentioned an extra load had
to be occasionally fetched to them, on
account of their increased size. Some
of these pigs were miserably poor and
crippled through previous restraint, and
being fed on boil kiln dust and brain,
too thin TO nourish them properly, but
they recovered, and after harvest got
very fat on corn and corn meal, mixed
with steamed swedes. However, though
these turnips were produced at little
expense, for they were hOed only once
over by one man, and horse hoed be-
tween the rOus twice, yet of course it
would he still cheaper to have the pigs
Craze and the little they would rSquire
to help them with the grass would not
cost so much as the turnips and the
hauling them home. Thirty-fOur of
these pigs weighed from 260 pounds to
420 pounds, the rest being i'll Il very
profitable state when left the place.
| do not advocate cooking white tur-
nips for pigs under any circumstances;
they are only tit for them raw, in warm
weather. Steamed swedes are good
mixed with plenty OF meal, but pota-
toes are SO much better that half the
meal mixed with them would feed as
fast. Good winter quarters is Il great
step in the right direction; the sleep
ing apartment should run into bank
under other buildings OF not, as con-
venient, and plenty of straw for them
to creep under in cold spells will cause
them TO thrive rs well rs i'll warm
weather.

SUMMER PRUNING.-We have long
been in favor of the summer pruning Of
fruit trees, of all sizes. Full twenty
years ago we were convinced of its good
results. 1t is advantageous in two
ways. First, 10y shortening in the rap
idly growing branches it produces fruit
spurs for the following year, and brings
the trees into any desired form. Sec
oud, when larger limbs are removed
the wound instead of leaving bare
protruding and decayihg stump, beau
tifully heals up. making a sound ampu-
tation.
The period when the pruning should
be done is one of prime Importance.
We see June recommended, while the
trees are in their full first growth.
Without having experimental, and
looking to the condition of the trees,
in this month, il does not meet our as
sent.
We do not believe that it is advisa-
BILE to prume before the first growth of
she season is completed, because OF the
immaturity of the wood, which must
produce in the second growth less Wig
OrOus shoots, besides losing, toa large
extent, the yield of fruit the succeeding
year, which is sure to follow jndieious
Shortening in later period.
In our Judgment Summer pruning
should take place between the fifteenth
of July and tenth of August period
when the sap is quiescent and nature ia
resting awhile from her labors. We
speak from our own knowledge of the
value of midsummer pruning of trees,
large or small.

SERIOUS Accident

CINCINNATI, October 27.-The passen-
ger train on the Little Mama Road in
coming TO this city met with a serious
accident last night at Xenia within l5O
yards of the depot. A freight train had
Just arrived and the switch was left
open. The passenger train ran into the
freight train and the calboo3e was
thrown upon the wood box. The shock
was SO great rs to smash several OF the
cars. The baggage car was carried
directly into the first passenger car and
the wreck took fire at once; the wood
box, baggage car, one passenger car and
the cabOose of the freight train were
almost entirely consumed. One man
in II passenger car, named George
Ross, of Xenia, was disabled and
caught in the wreck and burned to
death. His cries were heard III the
flames, but rescue was impossible
Another passenger, John B. Huntington,
had leg broken, and at least a dozen
others were injured. There were five
men on the engine, and but one of them
was hurt, and he only received a slight
cut IN the head. The baggage was almost
entirely destroyed by fire when the
train bearing the passengers to this
city left. After about two hours deten'
tion, the charred fragments of trunks
and clothing, saturated with water,
were being taken from the wreck. The
baggage car was we'll loaded and the
damage is heavy.
