y DoUDTER. was man who
lived in Cass County, Georgia, many
years ago, who had once been in the
State Legislature, and never neglected
nm opportunity to emphasize the fact
He was perfect iufidel as to new disco
yeries and new sciences, being we'll satis-
fled that if the world should turn over
oil the water would spill out of his well, +,
aud only giving in to steam cars by slow
degrees. But all the vials of his con-
tempt were poured out upon tho idea of
a telegraph, and he was won't to say that
nobody need try to come "the green"
over him in that way, for he had been to
the Legislature. Finally, the State road
was built, and one day workmen began
to put up telegraph posts right in front
of his house and to stretch the wire.
His exultant neighbors thought they had
him on that occasion. asked: "Well, old
fellow, what do you think of telegraphs
now?" He was cornered, but died
game. Drawing himself up an inch
taller, he said: "Gentlemen, when I was
in the Legislature gave this subject my
very attentive consideration, and said
then, rs say now, that it may do for
letters and small bundles, but it will
never take cotton bale, never!'

CEssIoN OF CUBA TO THE UNITED STATES.
The rumor from Madrid that treaty for the
cesslOn of Cuba to the United States has ac-
tually been signed does not come in shape
that inspires implicit faith, but it is evident
that Spain can hope for no other way out of
her Cuban perplexity so easy and so profitable
1t is not only that she cannot put down the in
ssurgents in the field, but she cannot keep up
fair show of authority in the districts nominal
~ o6edlent to her. The new captain general
one was, and already the Spanish population
OF the island appear to be crystalizlng into con-
ssplraeles and preparing to seize what they can
IN the coming wreck. 1t seems to us that the
good will and fixtures of Spain in the island of
Cuba are not an immensely valuable property
just now.-N y Tribune.

STATE ELECTIONS. are three State
elections this month, viz Maine, Vermont and
California.
The California election takes place to- day
1st.-the contest being for Supreme Court
Judge and members of the Legislature. There
has been considerable dissatisfaction in both
parties in this State with the leaders, and COM
binations have been formed in a number of
districts in order to secure the election of inde
pendent tickets, thus, if possible, overthrow
ing the old party organizations and putting a
quietus on the men who have heretofore con-
trolled the party organizations, they being
looked upon as corrupt and dishonest. The
last State election in California was claimed bv
the Democrats, but last year the Republicans
carried it for Grant by about 500 majority.
The contest will be close.
The Vermont election takes place on the 7tb
of September, for Governor and State officers.
AS the State is overwhelmingly Republican of
course there is no danger in predicting the
triumphant election of that ticket.
The Maine election takes place the week fol-
lowlng-l3th. 1t will also go Republican,
though not so strongly as last year, because
the vote will not be so large.

seconds Of time. The distance was four miles

We are extremely sorry that the Catholics of
Springfield, H., could find no better way of re.
futing the Rev. Mr.. White, who lectured
against them, than kicking up a row in the
lecture-room. We once, with several other
Protestants, heard clever Catholic preacher
assert that it would go extremely hard with
Luther and Calvin at the day of Judgment;
yet, if we had been plentifuly supplied with
an ammunition of dubious eggs, none of our
company would have thrown one Of them at
the ardent gentleman in the pulpit. Give and
take should be the law of pulpit polemics.
We often think when we read of these little
religious outbreaks of the wisdom displayed bv
Mrs. Jarley when Miss Monhathers had spok
en- disrespectfully of her wax-work show, ="
and limited at putting her rin the stocks. For
which of US is best off, quoth Mrs. farley,
" she or me? It's only talking, when all is
said and done and if she talks of me in the
stocks, why, | can talk of her in the stocks,
which is "a good deal funner, if we come to
that. Lord what does it matter, after all ="
There is plenty of sound philosophy in this
conclusion of the great Mrs. farley. At this
time of day, the roasting of heretics having
gone quite out of fashion, it will hardly do for
rrehglOnlstS to try to stop each other tongues :
but they should talk of each other "in the
stocks, and thus relieve their minds without
a resort to the vulgar device of assault and bat
tery.-N. y Tribune.

The TEACHERS AssoCIATIoN.-The Kent
County Teachers Association convened in this
town, at the Seminary, on Thursday last, but
was almost failure, owing to the Slim atten-
dance. The faithful few," however, trans
acted such business as came before them, Prof.
Bean, OF this town, acting as chairman, and
permanent president, having left the State,
resigned the position. He was present, how
ever. Prof Bean read an essay Thursday
and Prot. Z. W. Sooper on Friday evening, to
small, audiences. There is no interest mani
tested in this move by the people generally OF
even by teachers. 1t is only the few who have
adopted teaching as a profession that really
take any aggressive movement in the cause of
education in the State, because, being in prac.
tical relations with the schools, they see and
feel the defects we are laboring under 1t is
shame that the work for reformation is con-
lined to such narrow Emits but it S true.

Gen. ROsECRANs' LETTER. The letter o

them. They uphold plan which involves the

COUNTERFEIT MONEY.-Counterfeit mo-
ney (greenbacks) has become fine art in New
York City, and so thorough have the counter
feiters become in their nefarious work that it is
with difficulty that these spurious greenbacks
can be detected even in Washington. To pre-
vent that city from becoming flooded with the
false currency the parties have commenced a
regular business for the sale of it to parties in
country towns. We have frequently seen let
ters published in our exchanges in which the
counterfeiters proposed to sell their trash to
persons for about ten per cent, and the other
day gentleman in this town handed US the
following letter for publication, by the perusal
of which our readers can fully understand the

DELAWARE KING CRABS PRoDUc1NG
WHEAT, BARLEY, &C., IN ENGLAND. We clin
the subjoined extract from late foreign advices
Cancerine is the latest big named commodity
hailing from America. 1t does not stand for a
pretty color, like coraline, fuscheine or roscine
but Tor manure, compact of dead crabs.
BE 1t known that the shores of Delaware bay
swarm with crustaceans Of species known as the
sklng crab. The eggs cover the sand so thickly
that they are shovecd up by the wagon load.
and carried away to feed the chickens. The
young fish are taken to fatten hogs; the old
ones are gathered into pens, where they soon
die, and then they are dried, ground down, and
packed up in bags to be sold at the rate of
about five pounds per ton for manure. With
about four hundred weight an acre applied to
the ground the fertilizing power is reported to
be double that of guanO, and it is ascertained
that many thousands of tons can be furnished
annually from Delaware, if no iniudcious on
slaught is made upon the crabs to permanently
reduce their numbers.
