AN INCIDENT AT BOUL0GME.

The custom which our fashionable
Englishmen have of flying to the
coast of France, when debts and the
like mishaps render their own coun-
try somewhat too hot to hold them
comfortably, causes Boulogne and
other towns forming the chief places
of rendezvous on such occasions to
present for the most part a strangely
assorted society, and to witness al
times very curious scenes.
Sir George Tindal was a young
baronet Of good English family, who
came to Boulogne some Years ago
under rather peculiar circumstances.
He had been left very young with
the command Of a good patrimonial
estate, but had given way so far to
the fashionable follies of the young
in high life as to allow nearly the
whole Of 1t to fly away on the turf as
fast as a race-horse could carry it.
He had still good expectations,
however. A maternal relative-a
merchant, and one of the richest i'll
the metropolis-was likely, in the
due course of things, to leave Sir
George his fortune, as his nearest
heir He was fond of the young
man, but had been greatly and peril
ously alienated by the conduct and
reverses of the latter. 1t was while
meditating ON this subject that an
idea struck thenearly ruined baronet
How successful thought he
"my uncle has been by his specula
ton in the funds! Might not l have

Poor Sir George! He forgot tha
though some seas may be deep, ther,
are others which cannot be sounded
at all that however deep one ma,
be in the mire, there is Il chance o
getting deeper. He did venture hi
all in the stocks. He was succesfu
once, and even twice.
Getting inspirited by his good for
tune, he thought he had but to ven
ture further and win more Alas
he was Il novice merely in the hand
of veteran gamblers Some of tn
very worst members of the body VIII

into their hands, and knowing we
what his expectations were, an
where they lay, they led him OH by
nibble or two, until, by series
ruses, considered not unfair only G
such field of transactions, they {
last got him placed under a load I
debt which even all his unclp's meal
would with difficulty Tighten.
Holding him bound by signature
aud bonds, they then waited cool
for his accession to his prospectiN
inheritance, knowing well that Il
same prospect would keep tllier Vi
tim also within reach of their gras

THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN THE
s0UTE

On this subject, suggested so forcibly by
recent elections in the South, the Boston
Post has the following temperate and com.
mendable article;
The result of the election in Tennessee is
as unmistskeable as it was in Virginia and
Kentucky, and as it doubtless will be in
Mississippi. Conservatism is in the sscen-
danoy, and its saving instinct cannot be
rooted IRON the minds Of the people by Bad.
icaL!sm, either with the sword in its hand or
IN congress. Sixty five thousand majority
for Senter means that the tyranny Of four
years has utterly failed to accomplish its
professed end, but has concentrated the
opinion of all classes in effective hostility.
A Legislature sweepingly Conservative
means the same thing over again. And 40

States to speak the mind of the people Of

THE PRESS AND THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

A committee Of the press association .,
this state has recently been in session "1'
considered some matters Of Importance 10
the press and to the general public IN con
nection with the meeting OF coh'eu''o" ~
oue,d and remodel our constitution In
this practical, mercenary age it would prop
ob,v be vain to expect any measure to be
brongbt forward purely from dsinterested
and puselfsh motives; but it is fortunately
,rps that frequently the public welfare lies
right in line with that of individuals, and
that when certain interests Of individuals or
classes are promoted those Of the pubic are
also secured. This press committee have
proposed two subjects for discussion IN con
nec,ion with the framing Of new conS'i'u'
ton, viz The giving greater publicity TO
legal sales and public notice in the the To-
ealty to be affected, Of mn intention to ap'
ply to the Legislature for any kind OF special
legislation.
I, NAV be that the inspiring motive o
this movement is selfshness, but II 50 1t Il
one instance in which the se!hshness OF
class asks something of genera character
and for the publ, welfare. Special Ies''
laton is the door to two.thlrds OF the cor
ruption that is dsgrscing our system o' gov
eminent, and some constitutional prevention
opgbt TO be applied. The most effective
means should be used. !! may be that q
vet more effective plan may be devised
than the one proposed We arc induced 10
the opinion that it does not fully meet the
requirements of the case, and hope the
question may be fully discussed, and that
this leak in public virtue may be thoroughly
STONED. Corruptionists and their friends anc
spolopsts may say that the Legislator
can make ell necessary provisions for tn
public veal in this respect; but rogse
should never be trusted with their owl
capture or punishment. The constitutions
convention will, or should be, far more re
spectacle and incorruptible body thai
any Legislature that will ever be assemblies
under the constitution which it may frame
and if this body will prepare an instrumen
which will prevent corruption and rascsl'ty
the people may be trusted to adopt or reje'
il with perfect safety.
Although we would hope to see Ia
passed requiring all legal sales to be pu
Iished in the newspapers of the locality
which they are to be made, yet we regaI
this of comparatively insignificant impo
lance, and one, too, which may with safel
be entrusted to the Legislature itself.

fession of Republicsnism. Tho Tennessee
80 I;ke the Virginians, have come into the
eoioyment Of selfgovernment once more,
and taken captive the very man who has 80
long held them down.
Ii was as generous as timely for the Dem
ocratc press Of Tennessee to appeal to the
Senter government elect to show only char
ity to their enemies, by whom they have
both been wronged in common. Were the
old practices of personal hatred 70 obtain
once more, the condition OF affairs "oHlu
nowise have been improved by this severe
ordeal. The object of this election should
be to trample on tyranny, not with the ieet
of tyranny, but by establishing the better
example Of liberty, which does not psfmi'
the former to live in It's presence II - re!
hy punishment, but by Punishment, that the
lesson ia TO be most effectively taught. True
Repubicauism is not inspired by revenge,
hut nv freedom. The Democrats joined
forces with the Senter wing Of the kepubli'
can party, on the issue Of disiranchisement,
and have carried an overwhelming ma ority
of the Legislature. AS th's body is TO elect
a nited States Senator, and rs express
dent johnson is at present the most pronf
nent candidate, the probabilities are thA' 10
will once more take his seat IN the tnHn'UeF
where he was 80 recently impeacheu oy
desperate party faction, to SIT under CoIisA
IA the presiding officer, and possibly TO meet
his mos, relentless impeacher Gen. Butler,
on the floor The uneasiness excited among
the Radical journals by so unwelcome a
contingency is AS natural as anything cou'd
be.
The Democrats of Mississippi have issued
| A call to their brethren in that State, IN
| vokinp them to unite with the Conservative
| Republican movement, AZ WAS done so sue
cessrlly by the Democrats Of Virginia and
| there is little doubt that "a like result vii
attend the union that is proposed in sucf
sincerity. In that way they feel confident
of their ability to rescue the State from the
hands of military power, guided and inspir
ed By Congress, and rcassuro those PRIV
leges Of citizenship which have so long beer
suppressed. They see 1t is the best theI
can do, and the concession appears to then
| small in comparison to the uItenor ana per
| manent good. 1t is patriotism on'y that 81
willingly sinks party for the sake of the gen
eral welfare. Radicalism looks askance a
it, unable to comprehend the spirit which
moved to such exalted and liberal conduc
but we doubt not that the most Jealous scr'
tiny will discover in it the elements of CT
izenship that nobly deserves the name. =
The canvass in Mississippi will probabI
probably prove an easier one than It's predt

auence of their example. il it retrieve

Raising Celery.

Col. Freas, Of the Germantown IeteJrdph,
sums up the whole manner OF raising celery
thus: The successful raising OF celery Is one
OF tho most difficult things to achieve IN gar
| den culture. 1t requires nearly as much al
| ten,ion as dollhouse grapes. The failure IN
raising this vegetable, which is the rule, IS
mainly from the neglect of certain condi-
tons. These are: I. Trenches should be
dug from eight to ten inches in depth, IN
rich soil 2. The trenches should be halt
filled with welI.rotted manure, mixed With
the soil, in which the plants should be set
well down. 3. There should be only sin
ole row of plants instead of two or more, as
il commonly the case. 4. The plants should
| be set out from ten days to two weeks ear.
lier than is customary; that is to say, for the
| first crop, the last week in June, and the
rest, or bulk Of the crop, in the first two
weeks in July. Boards should be placed
over the rows to protect the plants from the
scorchng of the sun from 10 to clock
until they have taken a firm grasp OF the
earth and commenced growing. They
| should hr watered for some time, IN the al
| sence Of the rain, twice day,--alterwar'
once d day. After growing about eight II
Ches, the earth should be carefully drawn Il
c the rows and continued gradually as tn
growth progresses. Manure water is exec
lent, and should be applied at least twice
week until the middle of October. Guam
water is the best.
In drawing the earth 10 the plants, cal
should be taken not to cover the leaders al
stunt the growth. Sc the hand aItogetht
in distributing the soil about the plants an
releasing the leaves when covered. Celer
can be produced four feet in length from tn
root to the top of the leaves, by good man
egement, and we have So grown it NOR
than once upon our premises.
