SAD CAsE.-On Tuesday a lady on the Delaware
train coming Northward had a sick child with
her which she was taking North for its health
The child grew worse on the train, and below
Seafori died. AT Scaford the mother and her
dead babe were let off the train, and their rela-
lives in this city teleglaphed to go to them.
"A somewhat similar case occurred on one of
the Wilmington boats on the same day. A Phil
adelphia lady thought to do a sick infant some
good by bringing il down the river, but it was
more sick than she thought, and in going back
on the Ariet, which leaves here at halfpast three
o clock, the child died

| In rs STATED that Mr.. Bayard the Sena-
tor from this State) has gone to Europe for
medical treatment. This may be true, but
it is much more likely that he is disguised
with politics, and seing how utterly hope
less the case is for Seymour and Blair, has
contcnted himself with keeping Mr.. Samuel
Towsend off the National Committee, and
now rushes off to see the sights at Baden
Baden and Hamburg. Mr.. Bayard has in
deed great reason to be dissatisfied Slavery
is dead; Secession is dead; (for proof of
which see New York resolutions there is
| nothing in the platform about white mans
government, and not word against negro
suffrage. The franchise was not declared
privilege" either, as Mr.. Bayard thought
it ought to be, but the only thing which was
fixed after his preference was the anticipa-
tion of seeing, next December, the "pillars
Of the government rocking on their basc,"
and the ''ruins of the Constitution" lying
around loose, &C., &c. This is very strong
and very alarming, but when we recollect
how much more serious a crisis the ''pillars'
and the .base" and the Constitution saw in
1861, when Mr.. Bayard seemed so much
pleased, and MIR. Bayard, Jr., rushed forth
at the call to arms, but went toward the
wrong camp; remembering all that, we say,
we don't feel as much scared ut Mr.. B.
| resolution as he perhaps expected.
The slaughter Of Hancock. and of Pen

ratio Seymour; who if elected would proba-

small States in the U. S. Senate, as that Mr..
Bayard could not be kept therein; but even
of the Abolition Congressman, and Union
soldier, Frank Blair, for Vice President
are further annoyances to the distinguished
''seceder' as Sam Townsend names him.
Let him by all means consult the Bourbons
J before he returns, and as he has gone over
| in the China, why not take step further
than Europe, and explore the manners of
the Celestial Empire? He may find some
place where it is law as well as theory that
nobody has right to vote but some are

White VS.. Negro Labor.

An Augusta Farmer, in the Farmer and
Planter, says:-A gentleman from Char
lotte county, Va. informed the writer, at
the late Conservative Convention in your
city, that he had made comparison of the
two the last year. He furnished Ii ne
groes with mules and implements and pro-
visions to raise crop, and at the same
time two white men. The negroes raised
"a barrels of corn, ! stacks oats, and 5000
pounds tobacco. The two white men.
with little negro girl to cook for them,
raised 112aa barrels Of corn, 10 stacks oats
and 5000 pounds tobacco. The negroes
returned the mules in poor, emaclateo
condition The white men turned theirs
over fat and sleek Negroes worked four
mules, whites two The white men we're
raised in that section. This year the same
gentleman will work white men exclusive
.ly. To show the improvidence of the ne
gros, he said the cart and mules were idle
and at their service to haul wood. yet they
preferred to burn rails.

Pears: Root Propagation.

In late number of the Magazine Of
Horticulture was a communication on the
propagation Of the pear, from Dr. Van
Nous Of Belgium. We quote a para
graph -
Il now propagate for myself and friends
the most choice varieties of pears which [
obtain by means Of the roots. Not sin
gle one fails in this new process It is i'm,
material in what maner they are set out.
This method discovered accidently, in
consequence of some roots, on which in
tended to graft other kinds of pears, being
thrown on the ground and covered with a
little earth, to preserve them until used for
that purpose, and which were lost sight of
and forgotten until the next spring, when
all of'them sent up stalks, which in the
autumn, were as tall as those raised from
the seed of two years growth. They can
be set out in the spring as we'll as autumn.
Such roots should be selected as have one
or more terminal 6bres and those that are
often cut off and left in the earth when a
tree is transplanted, succeed we'll. They
cannot be too small, but should not be lar
ger than the finger. The wounds Of the
large ends should be covered with the
same composition to protect, as in graft
ing. They must be set obliquely."

WITHOUT THE CHILDREN.

Oh, the weary, solemn silence
Of house without the children
Oh, the strange, oppressive stiffness
Where the children come no more!
All! the longing of the sleepless
For the soft arms of the children;
All the longing for the faces
Peeping thro the opening doc
Faces gone for evermove!
Strange it is to wake at midnight
And not hear the children breathing
Nothing but the old clock ticking,
Ticking, ticking by the door.
Strange to see the little dresses
Hanging up there all the morning;
And the gaiters-ah! their patter,
We will hear it never more
On our hea1 t-forsaken hoor
What is home without the children .?
IT'S the earth without its verdure,
And the sky without the sunshine
Life is withered to the core!
So we'll leave this dreary desert,
And we'll follow the Good Shepherd
To the greener pastures vernal,
Where the Lambs have ''gone before, "
With the Shepherd evermore!
