THAT GOVERNOR. Tile New Orl-
cans Tribune, owned and edited by
colored men, thus speaks of Gov. War
moth:
We are tired of Governor, who has
accomplished nothing for the State but
to discredit it. Rebuked by the Su-
preme Court as q law -breaker--self-
convicted of falsehood in vetoing bills
he had repeatedly pledged himself to
approve, and of cowardice in surren-
ing veto to satisfy an empty Demo-
cratic threat-a transgressor of his off,
cial oath in numerous instances-an
inflated humbug, balancing like an ac-
robat on top OF seven feet of gaunt
bone, q tlimble full of brain-a man,
whose Bible and Constitution is his
bank account, a novelty to him until OF
late. Look at him, colored men, and
ask yourself if you are proud of this
Governor, and want any more Of the
tribe in the future. Bah! This was
the man of whom you expected such 6
masterly assertion of Republican prin-
ciple. This is the man you thought
would approve that act "to protect all
persons IN their public and civil
rights" But this retribution is soon te
come-be ready.

E A new sensation is announced in
Italy. Not long since a young and
beautiful woman appeared before the
Roman Senate, and announced herself
to be the last descendant of the Emper-
ors of the East, living unknown with
her father in valley in Piedmont /;
and, producing documents, she de-
manded an investigation of her preten-
sions. The Senate complied with her
request, and finally recognized her as
the Princess ~Lascaris-P aleologus, Or
dering her name to be thus inscribed on
tile "Book of Cold" at the Capitol
The Princess subsequently went to
Florence, where she has now taken
a boldor step, and founded a Masonic
Lodge for women"

[From tho Cincinnati Commerce.

From tho Cincinnati Commercial
Father Grant has been interviewed. His
lnaim point il that tho Chronicle is the on
ly loyal paper la the city. The Gazette
and Commercial have committed dislOyal
ty, Mt various times, in criticising the cot
duct Of Gen. Grant. The old gentlema
regards failure to appreciate his son !.
dislOyai. Kentucky is q mean State in ths
eyes Of the old gentleman, because his son
is not popular in that State He thinks he
has been abused, aud cannot understand
what the Commercial is about. Perhaps
We may eulighten him. He has been
meddling in public affairs, about which he
knows nothing. He has been boastful II
his influence with the Administration, and
has had au influence which he has used
with great indiscretion. Ho has been .ss-
cd by designing mcr to get f:lvOrs front
persons high in authority. aid has been
| laughed ut by those who have used him.
He has lust made himself ridiculous by
his incolierent talk to reporter who took
uOtlce Of his conversation, with the pur-
pose Of ridicnling him. If this will have
| the effect of keeping him out Of Pubiic
| business, it will be an excellent thing, Tor
his bother about Offices in this part Of the
country is bore. If the old gentleman
will attend strictly to his private affairs
he will not have reason to complain oi sno
newspapers. If he continues runtaglns
about the departments or scribbIing 'et-
tiers to heads Of departments, trying 70 see
places for his old friends and new hattef-
ers. he may expect public notice ot ehat-
acter that is not agreeable.

Northern importers. In this he shows
the right spirit and energy, for he is
thus enabled to offer at the lowest
prices complete and superior stock
of everything pertaining to the shoe
manufacturing line. When our mer-
chants import direct, the whole COM
munity is benefited, because all the ex-
ira charges and commissions are saved
to be invested here. All of our direct
importers, therefore, deserve encour-
agement, and it is well for our city and
State, when our young merchants, like
Mr.. Sheldon, show the pluck and cncr-
gy to break away from the paths Of

goods where they can be had best and
cheapest.

II The weather, the past week, has
been really Of the most desirable kind
sand made to special order for the cot
ton planters of Rapides. We can as
sure all mankind that good advantage
has been taken of it and steady pick
ing has been the weeks results. Very
few planters have yet taken time to
gin or press, the cotton opening so fast
that it requires rush of I'LL hands to
keep pace with it. AS for the cater
pillars, we may as we'll finish writing
about them with this squib. They are
moro or less every where and have
eaten tho leaves in many places clean
off-and that's all. They have done
all the damage possible and what the
damage amounts to is hard to tell, if
any. The crop is certainly made and
far over good half ono is the result,
and we can all but feel grateful.

Some Account Of Boston.
From the N. Y. WOrld.1


Boston is situated about $4,000, 900
miles from the sun. IS 24,857 miles in
circumference, and its equatorial diam
eter is 1926 miles. 1t is not a perfect
sphere, as it is slightly fiattened at the
poles; in other words, it is an oblate
spheroid. 1t is the third planet in the
solar system, and revOlvcs on its axis,
from west to east, i'll % hours, So min
utes and 4 seconds, thus causing the
alterations of day and night. 1t re-
wolves about the syn once in 365 days,
5 hours, 40 minutes and 81 seconds.
Its orbit is not a circle, but an eclipse
The tropics and polar circles divide
Boston into five lonesome t0rrid two,
temperate and two frigid. It has but
one sataIIite. The geological structure
of Boston, with which we are very I'M
perfectly acquainted, confirms, SO far
as has been asccrtaincd, the Mosaic ac
count of it's creation and preparation
during successive ages; the Hebrew
word s1Tam," translated .tday," signi
flying, also, "period" OF 'tstate". What
countless ages may have passed while
Boston was being cooled, clothed with
heritage, and covered with animal life
before the formation of man and the
conclusive period of creation, is not
permitted us to know.
Boston, when without form and
void" was probably u dark, hcated
mass, which in it's revolution threw of
a ring which is now the moon. The
crust of Boston is supposed to he about
thirty miles in thickness, and its inte-
rior is probably fluid or gas, possess
ing degree Of heat greater than any
with which we are acquainted. That
this is so is proved by the existence Of
hot springs at various places on the
surface Of Boston such RS those oil
Iceland, Valencia, and Japan. The
ocean, witch constitutes about three
fourths of the superfices Of Boston, Ol
$50, OOO, 900 square miles, is of various
depths, and abounls with fslles. The
tropical extremeties Of Boston-Cape
Horn, Cape Of Good Hope, and Cape
Lccuin-terminate that great body O
water, the Southern Ocean. The high
est mountain chain in Boston is the
Himalaya in India its longest river il
the Tangtsekiang in China. The On
tire population Of Boston is about / :
OOO, 600, 600. It's principal religions
creeds are the Christian, Jewish. Mo.
llammcdan, Hindoo, and Buddhist
DR.. Pritchard estimates tho number o.
languages spoken at Boston at 2, 600. :
The protesting Christians there are
obout 2OO, OOO,O0O; Jews, 5000, 1000
Mollammcdans, $50, OOO, 600; HindoOs
81, OOO, 600; tho Bludlhists about NJ
equal number; and the remaining pop
ulatiOn of Boston consists of various
pagan and polytheutic scots.

sea- If you pillow down your weeds
before they so to seed, they will prove
a benefit to your land instead of a
curse. If they are allowed to go to
seed they will be source of trouble.
Plowed under, they are worth as much
as dressing of manure. Besides en-
riching the soil they tend to keep it
loose. If you add from twenty to
fifty bushels of lime per acre to the
ground, and harrow it in, it viii con-
vert your weeds into plant food.
