Poisoning from jealousy,

A singular story is just now running
the rounds of Paris society. In the
garden of the Tuilleries, about a fort
night since, young lady elegantly at
tired accosted a nurse who held beau
tiful child of about eleven months old
by the hand, and asked permission to
embrace it and give it some sweatmeats.
The nurse accepted them without dis
trust and saw with pleasure the admi-
ration bestowed on the infant. For ten
days the strange waylaid the child
in the same manner, and on the elev-
enth day, after kissing it as usual, placed
in its hand biscuit, the half OF which
it swallowed, the nurse eating the other
half. The child soon after began to
cry, and shortly after its return homo
it became sick, and expired in frightful
commissions. The nurse, in her turn,
was seized with pains in the stomach
and vomitings, and Notwithstanding the
efforts made TO save her, died at the
end of three days. Before she breath
ed her last, however, she was able to
give description of the lady who had
administered the poison, and the mur-
deress has been arrested within the last
day or two. The story runs that she
had been the mistress of the chid's
father, who had been married only u
couple of years, and that it was ieal-
ousy which prompted her to the COM
mission of the crime. 1t is expected
that the case will shortly como up for

An ARRAY occurred on the Square at
Shelbyville on Monday evening, nearly
resulting fatally 70 several of the par

twice in the arm and once in the back,
inflicting serious, if not dangerous
wounds. AT the same time a Colonel
Galbroth, who had come up, drew a
pistol on Bradshaw, and would have
shot him dead had not Senator Wisener

the muzzle and the supposed. Kuklux.
The difficulty here terminated, and it is

The Turnin CrOn.

We suppose there are few farmers
would object to a liberal turnip crop, if,
at the proper time, it were found stored
in their cellars, ready for feeding stock.
And if it is not eXpedicnt for American
farmers to engage in turnip growing as
largely as their English cousins. it may
be Of great profit for them generally to
grew moderate quantities, and, in many
cases, large crops. The farmer who at
the present season looks over his re-
sources, and fears he is not producing
food enough to carry his stock through
the winter, may yet increase those re-
sources to an extent to enable him to
even add TO instead of diminishing his
number of animals. Putting in a tur-
nip crop will do this; and Just now
is the time to devote day or two 10
this work
If the farmer unexpectedly deter
mines to raise turnips it may puzzle him
a little to select the land for their
growth. He has no place prepared;
but there may be several locations on
his farm where an experienced turnip
grower would expect to attain reason
able success. If by mischance there are
vacant spots in the corn or potato field,
sow them in turnips. The stubble of
the earliest cut grain, plowed, fitted and
sowed promptly, may give fine crop.
Ora light and brittle clover sod invert-
ed with care, will fit the turnip plant.
There is, indeed, no lack of place for
the crop on any farm

From the Atlanta Constitution of the 9th
HOratiO Seymour, of New York.


AS we write the electric wires are
heralding the name of HoRATIo SEY-
MoUR, our chosen standard-bearer, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the
Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. Once
more the proud banner of Democracy,
with the Constitution as its ensign, is
unfurled to the breeze. The beacon of
liberty to the oppressed, again it is
borne by every wind of heaven across
the mis- - valleys OF the land. Broad
as our co'.inon country, with no East,
no West, no North, no South, it en-
braces all. Inscribed with the princi-
pies of free government, the supremacy
of the Constitution, and the superiority
of the white race, it waves defiance to
the Rio Grandc. The nation wakes from
the nightmare embrace of its foes, its
heart throbbing today with the Joy of
newborn life. 1t has been in sore ira
vail, with the evil days passing in dark
succession above it, as with sorrow and
tears it lamented its lost liberties.-
Thank God light is again breaking in
the East; the night disappears the day
dawns, and the West CLOVIS with the
reflection of its earliest beams. All hail
the day of our redemption! The Red
Sea is past; the enemy scattered in dis
may. The people of this great nation
have sworn by the memories of the
past, and by the hopes of the future to
rid the country of its Radical CURSE
Every sense of duty to mankind, to
country, to religion and to God, exacts
Of them this high resolve. With one
heart, one soul, one voice, one purpose,
and one will, they will now rally to the
standard of Democracy rs never before.
Our platform and our nominee are such
as will unite in their support all the
Conservative elements of political pow
er in the land. They will enlist the mo-
raj and social agencies of a people who
spurn the degrading dogmas of fanati-
cism. Gathering strength and energy
from the resistless forces of moral and
intellectual manhood, no earthly power
shall stay them in their victorious
course.
The platform is the epitome of Dem.
ocratic principles the nominee a pa.
triot of the purest mould, his love Of
country and moral sublimity of charac
ter, such rs will claim the admiration o
all true patriots in the land.

Gen, Grant.

U. S. was at Maysville, Ky, the other
day. A Bohemian who was present
says of him:
The General is man of rather low
stature, well built, of fine physique, and
looks much as he did when we saw him
near the Appomattox apple tree on the
9th day of April, 1865. His complex
ion is clear, and his general appearance
gives the downright lie to the charges
of drunkenness made by the rebel pa
pers.
A large crowd having collected in
front of the hotel, Hon. w. II. Wads-
worth appeared upon the balcony and
introduced the General, who said:
GENTLEMEN-I am very glad to see
you, but you must not expect any
speech from me. leave that with my
old schoolmate, Mr.. Wadsworth.
This was all the speech necessary,
and is characteristic of man Of actions
rather than words.

The Negro Race Disappearing.

Ifthere is now any doubt that in few
years the negro race is to become ex-

throughout the Southern States since the
close Of the war ought to eilectually re-
moveit. During the siXmonths ending
June Both, there were 494 interments in
the cemeteries Of Nashville. or these,
three hundred and Mirty nine were col
ored, and one hundred and fifty five
were whites, showing mortality among
the blacks more than double that of the
whites. OF the total number Of white,
and blacks inferred, two hundred anc
sixty five were females and two hun
bred and twcnty-ninc were males.

Taxing the Bonds.

The New York 1imeS-Republican,
and supportsGrant and Colfax-seems to
have keen appreciation ofthc predomi-
mating feature of its party. The follow
ing paragraph in reference to taxing the
Bonds is from that paper:
A large number of the radical men,
bcrs of Congress have themselves just
voted for measure, the taxation on the
interest on bonds, or rather its forcible
reduction, which is as damaging as any
thing well could be to the national
credit and honor. They know it is a
violation of the law and the terms of
the contract; but demagoguery is stron-
ger with them than principle, and good
faith weaker than their appetite for ras
cality.

The Crops and the Prospects.

The Cincinnati Gazette calls attention
to the remarkable fact that the condi-
ton of Europe in regard to the crops
does not materially differ from that
which has been experienced in the
United States:
Great Britain and France have had a
succession of crop failures, and, as
consequence, the granaries of Europe
have been emptied, and it will require
a succession of good crops to make up
the surplus which is usually carried
over one crop year to another. There
fore, English consumers, notwithstand-
ing the favorable harvest prospects this
year, will be disappointed if they ex-
pect an immediate return to low prices.
Values may be confined, as the London
writer says, to about the present level,
but cannot be materially reduced.
In the United States, as we have said,
our experience with the crops has been
the same as that in Europe. We have
had three successive failures, and, az
consequence, our graneries have been
emptied. In some sections the deficieii-
cy was greater than in others, but every
where harvests were deficient, and, by
the incoming of the growing crops OF
grain, we shall come nearer to exhaust
ing the supplies of old stocks than at
any previous time in the last twenty
five years. AS evidence of the condi-
ton of the country i'll this respect, VIC
need only to refer to current prices.
First class brands of -four in our mar
ket are retailing at So to Sl4 per bar
rel; corn, so to 95 cents oats, so to So
cents per bushel. These are extraordi-
nary prices. They are almost double
what used to be considered extraordiua-
ry prices. 1t cannot be said, therefore,
that the only effect of good crop will
be to prevent further advance. This
is not expected. We shall, witl good
harvest, have lower values, but at the
same time the range must continue
comparatively high. Neither one good
crop nor specie currency, under the
state of things that exists throughout
the United States and Europe, can force
prices of cereals to the ordinary ave-
rage. Before this can be realized we
must have Il succession of good crops
such crops on both sides of the At
lantic as will supply the consumptive
demand, and at the same time accumu-
late the usual surplus in the graneries.
