Silence and Sadness.

There are many who imagine that silent
tongue indicates a barren mind, but it often
happens that thought and emotion are more
active when they do not seek expression in
speech. The aphorism that still water
runs deep is no less true in its application
to affairs of the mind than it is to those of
the heart.

A New ESTEKPRIsE.-Col. Joseph a. Mabry,
well known 10 our home readers ono Of our most
enterprisng and successful farmers as well as one
OF our best business managers, has, are pleased
TO state just purchased from a celebrated Western
Virginia stock-raser two hundred ewes Of Spanish
morno sheep, together with ten or twelve bucks of
the same breed which will soon be grazing upon his
farm in the vicinity Of this city The merino stock
Of sheep, We believe is original with Spain. Rams
Of this breed introduced into England from
that country in 1888, and when crossed with the
English ewes, the breed to such perfection and
celebrity 10 attract the attention Of breeders Of
stock in other countries, and it may now be found
IN almost every part of the globe The mernos
that have been naturalized in this country retain
their natural characters, except that they become
larger in carcass and the wool longer and heavier
than in England. There they are cultivated with
greater regard 10 the wool than TO the value and
weight Of the animal, but we have not a doubt, I'M
der the more vigorous and delightful climate of East
Tennessee, our common country sheep, crossed with
the blooaed mcrlno buck, would not only prove a
decided success in the quality of wool provided, but
rs an article for market consumption, the mutton
would be equal if not superior TO that Of Spain,
Whlch pohsts ol having flavor resembling that Of
venison. Since the war has closed and our State
has resumed n national existence in the Union, we
are proud TO the efforts of various Of our inhu-
ental and substantial citizens TO engender a spirit
OF emulation amongst the masses Of the people as
10 who shall most richly deserve the praise of being
benefactor Of the State. 1t is unnecessary for us
70 wish Col Mabry success in this pioneer enterprise

this reason, we believe that whether
confiscation be proposed by the ultra
lists in Congress, or by bad, designing
men at the South, the nefarious
scheme will be promptly and utterly
crushed by the good sense OF the
American people.
We have reason to hope, therefore,
that the delusion which has blinded
the people of the North and West to
the selfish aims of New England po-
1iticians will be shortly dissipated,
and that, while the people of the
South DIRE manifesting their anxiety
10 submit even to harsh terms, for
the purpose of restoration and har-
mony, the spectacle of their glaring
inconsistency will present itself in
such q strong light before them, they
will retrace their steps and support
no man or party who has not patriot
ism or craftsmanship to perceive that
legislation must be for the whole
country, and not for O section.

Asktpg for Relief.

At n meeting of the New York
Chamber Of Commerce, held on
Thursday last, an appeal was read
from the Macon (Georgia) Board of
Trade, setting forth the total prostra-
ton of agricultural interests through
out the State of Georgia, and asking
for temporary relief, in the shape of
q loan of provisions or money, for
which liens on tho growing crops
would be given. One paragraph of
this memorial is as follows:
"Should the assistance indicated
be long withheld, many thousands of
farms must be abandoned md many
thousands of laborers thrown out Of
employment, without homes, or the
means of procuring food and vast
amount of destitution and suffering
must follow. On the other hand,
should the credit be promptly afford
ed, relief follows, and these calami-
ties are averted. A simple loan of
food is nil that is asked, and that
upon such conditions as, with proper
prudence and discretion on the part
of: the agents selected, it is believed,
can result in no loss, but retp' to the
subscribers their capital unimpaired,
together with q moderate interest on
the same while thus employed, and
meanwhile accomplish an amount of
good almost incalculable at this par
ticular crisis"
We regret that the Empire State of
the South is in such sad plight.
The newspapers Of New York speak
favorably of the application, and the
memorial was referred to the Exccu
tive Committee of the Chamber, with
power. We think the Macon Board
has taken the right course; all the
Southern farmers want at present is
temporary assistance, and it is proper
they should ask it from such associn-
tions at the North as that to which
this application was made.

NEGROES IN WAsHINGToN.-Mu
as has been done for the freedmen in
the District of Columbia, yet, while
they can vote, they cannot hold Office.
A section of the charter of the city of
Washington provides:
''No person is eligible to seat in
either board unless he is upwards of
twenty-five, is free white male citi-
zen, has resided in the city for one
year next preceding the election" &c.
According to this. provision, n
negro candidate, even if elected,
could not legally take his seat rs m
alderman or member of the City
Council. The bill passed by the
Thirty-ninth Congress, giving the
right of suffrage to all people of the
District, white and black, of suitable
age, &C., is silent on the point of qua
lifications for holding Office, and is,
therefore, regarded as leaving colored
citizens, in that respect, as badly off
as ever.

The BIGGEST Fool MARRIED. Tho
Macon (Ga.) Telegraph furnishes the
following information relative to an
incident which recently happened in
that city. 1t says:
ga young man, of this city, got
married on Thursday, in the Eastern
extreme Of Macon. All went we'll
during the evening-the groom ap-
pearing to enjoy himself very much
until the approach of midnight, when
the Benedict Notwithstanding the
remonstrances of his friends and the
brides, seized his hat and departed,
and actually walked down town and
occupied the room in which he has
slept for months past, leaving his
bride alone in her glory. His mother
ought to take him in hand"
We think 80, too; but she ought to
have given him lesson on the "pro-
prieties" some time previous. No
doubt, however, he will get over his
bashfulness, and-snrvive.

Is THIS So?-An exchange pub
fishes this way to save oil: "Put the
wick into the lamp and fill the latter
about half full of coarse salt, and
then put in an inoh Of oil, and it will
be found that great saving will be
the result. The salt wastes away
gradually during the burning, and
must, therefore. be renewed from
time to time. The light is purer and
more brilliant than that without salt,
and the wick needs no trimming"

THE LAST OF THE MEXICAN EMPIRE.
Following the late news from Mexico
that the imperial army under Mi
ramon had been utterly defeated,
and the city OF Queretaro taken by
the Liberals-we have now advices
from Vera Cruz to the 18th, stating
that Gen. Benavedes, on the part Of
the Liberals, was about to assault
that city. He was only waiting to re-
ceive artillery for the purpose. He
had q report also that the Emperor
Maximilian had been captured. but
this does not appear to be reliable.
The previous accounts stated that
when Queretaro had been taken, it
was found that Maximilian had mys-
teriously disappeared, and there is
now no circumstantial account of his
having been pursued or discovered.
1t is probable that the ex-Emperor
will endeavor to make his way to this
country, and he may avail himself of
United States gun-boat now lying
at Tnmpico. Whatever may be his
fate, it is evident that imperialism
has made its last stand. It is now said
that the order Of Juarez, the Repub-
hcan President, is, to take him alive
and respect him as prisoner of war.
In view of NIL this, Mexico would de-
serve congratulation, were it not that
the old contest is likely to be revived
between the adherents of Juarez and
Ortega, or other chieftains, for the
mastery. y.-Bdltimore Sun, 4th.
