The BABY Snow.-Onc of the most
attactivc features Of the May-day eel
cbration in Savannah was tho Baby
Show in the Park. 1t was no Barnum
exhibition, but one rccommcndcd,by by
numerous correspondents Of the NewS
ond Xcratd, attended by almost every
body.
We scarcely expect so large a dis
play of oilspriug-children Of low and
of high degree, in carriages aud OH
on foot, vehicularly and podcstrianal-
ly conveyed, with black nurses and
white, some from the frozen regions
and some to the manor born.
The Park swarmcd with people
fathers and mothers, nurses aud aun-
ties, grandmas and spinstcrs, cousins,
and spectators generally.
The fountains afforded one Of the
attractions of the Park, and, under
Alderman Cue, tho whole grounds
presented fine appearance. The
weather was beautiful. The sun, the
air-cvcrything combined to make
tho entertainment most gratifying.
We have never in our lives seen so
fine display Of children as was cx-
hibitcd on this same May-day. But
for the crowded state of our columns
VIC might go into details, but VIC deem
it not especially necessary, for every
mother knows her child was the hand
soonest present, and wherefore should
VIC specify?
We mi ght state that little Miss -
was tho prctticst little girl VIC saw,
and that Of the boys in the Park little
Master - was the champion. But
VIC defer this discrimination against
other claimants for the present.
We shall, however, pay compli-
mcnt, without mentioning names, to Il
pair Of twins, little misses, with all the
artlcssncss of infancy sweet enough
for 4 stranger to be excused for kiss
ing.
\ procession Of the children, in all
sorts of dimunitivo vehicles, was one
Of the features Of the show, and 10
one could have been present without
being delighted at it.
Had We space, VIC should lilatc; we
should speak of happy mothers and
joyous fathers Of amts and uncles
and cousins cxulting in the baby show ;
Of nurses i'll their rroudcst and prct-
ticst Of infant prattling; of smiles
without tears, and OF the tears ofsom"
who were reminded by the sight Of
those who were not.
This style of fcstivity seems to have
especial acccptability, and We close
thus briefly with the hope that we
shall soon havc another Baby Show.

Honor,

There is, says The Richmond En-
7"'rer, great disposition to sncor at
the sense of "honor" just now. We
arc told to disregard it, and look only
to material advantage. This toach-
ing will return to plague many who
inculcato it. Tn these times of pccu-
mary disturbance, tho honor of debt
ors, whether individuals or communi-
ties, is often tho only reliance of crcdi-
tors. Teach the people to rate honor
lightly, and Generalization will en-
sue whose results will bo ruinous be-
yond tho power of estimation. The
sense of honor ridiculed and dothron-
od for ono object, is dcthronod for all

The Fenians In Ireland.

The insurrection in Ireland is vir-
tually at an end, and as was to be
anticipated, wholly unsuccessful.
There were various risings in differ
ent parts of the country, but appar-
antly without concert of action or
any intelligent plan of operation, and
so were quelled almost as soon as
they made their appearance. This
last abortiye attempt at revolution
adds another confirmation to the
truth, that Irish Independence is a
myth. The attempt to establish
separate government for Ireland in
dependent of British control, is q
hopeless undertaking and can only
result in disaster and ruin. to those
who are foolhardy enough to attempt
it. And we can not but regard as
criminal the conduct of the partisans
and demagegues who have melted
the Irish masses to instructions
which it was foregone conclusion
must be unsuccessful, and the only
result of which must be to increase
the severity of the British Govern
ment and thus add to the evils from
which. they seek relief. Ireland's
true policy is not separation frem
the English Government, but reform
and amelioration of her condition
within that government. And Irish
men may rest assured that the great
reform movements now convulsing
England will be felt in all parts of
the British dominions, and will even
tually work out peaceful, but COM
plete emancipation and enfranchise
ment of all the subjects of the Brit
ish Government. By vain appeals
to arms Ireland but delays the day
of her emancipation.

Secret Circular-Democratic
Call for Helm.

The Democratic State Central Com
mittee have issued secret circular,
appealing to the faithful to take ad-
vantage of the anticipated inactivity
Of the Union voters, with a view to
showing gains for the copperheads
at the approaching municipal and
township elections. This is neces-
sary, they say, in order to give en-
coursgemeRt to the demoralized de-
mocracy. Union men will note the
point. We copy paragraph:
DEAR SIR: 1t is of the first impor-
tance that the Democratic party
should poll on the 1st Monday in
April as large a vote as possible.
The larger this vote, the more pro-
auctive of good it will be. If we can
secure larger majorities in those
cities and towns in which we had
majorities last fall, and if we can re-
duce the majerities of the Republi-
cans in those cities and towns in
which they had majorities at the same
time, it will give inspiration to our
friends all over the State-an inspi-
ration that will prompt such vigor-
Gus action as to render our success
at the election in October probable.
This consideration of itself should
excite stirring effort at the April cleo
ton on the part Of Democrats.

'sThe late rise in the Ohio has made
sad work on its banks. in many
