The Term .ce.rpot-nagger', Defined.

Tho Term "Carpct-Baggcr" Defined.
We observe that tho effort is nude in
certain quarters 70 confound the o,ass Of
'.carpet- -baggers" with the class of ,genu-
inc settlers from abroad. This will not
dc. We DO rot intend that the "narpet-
bagger" shall hide himself under the
wing of the Northern sa.t';,r. Tho
Southern people have a hearty welcome
for the men from the North who come
here to live honestly and to deal fairly.
The New York Sunday News observes,
with truth:
"Butler fancied that he made good
point in the House. the other day, when
he alluded to q Democratic member of
Congress, representing this city, as o
'carpet.bagger from Ohio The radi-
Gals Intentionally pervert the meaning of
the term. We believe it originated in
the South since the close of the war, and
was applied by the Southern people to
the horde of strangers, with carpet-bags
in their hands, who focked down upon
them in the trail of the army. The men
with carpet-bags came not to stay, but to
pick up anything within their reach, and
go home again. They were distinguished
from people who came to settle perma-
nently. No Northern man who has To-
Gated in the South with tho purpose of
making it his future home, and Of becom-
ing identified with its interests, is re
garded by the Southern people as car.
pet-bagger. But there are hundreds and
thousands Of Northern men there who
were utterly without character at home,
and Who have struggled down that way.
and squatted among the negroes, with
the avowed design of living in their
midst only as long as they can make it
profitable. Many of these men, under
the system of military rule enforced by
the Government, are in high places.
They do not hesitate to avow themselves
temporary sojourners. When Governor
Scott, OF South Carolina, visits Ohio, he
speaks of going home Senator Welsh,
of Florida, still claims to be citizen of
Michigan. Rev. B. f. Wkittemore, of
Boston, a member of the lower house
from South Carolina, is notoriously in
vesting all he can make out of his posi-
tion in real estate in Massachusetts. He
is even building handsome residence
near Boston to be occupied by himself,
when the negroes of his district in South
Carolina thall be ready to repudiate him.
There are but very few Southern Con.
gressmen of Northern birth who do not
design ultimately to return to their old
homes, to enjoy the fruits OF their raid

Tree Planting.

Mr.. EDITOR: The time for planting
shade trees is rapidly approaching, and
the numerous failures of those planted
last year induce me to make some sug-
gestions as to the cause of failure. In
,transplanting young tree, its previous
osdition in ita aspect toward the sun,
Taa ~ ITS depth beneath the surface, should

allowed for its roots and rootlets. .Af
which the more minuta.erfice. Instead
medlate!y broEs, as at present, a portion
=! !hhHe natural subdivisions of the young
tree should be preserved as heading,
not only as giving it q better chance for
surviving, but as securing symmetry of
appearance, and obviating the objection
to which the present system is obnoxious
in its shrub-like foliage, which is so low
as to intercept the air during the day,
and the light of the lamps during the
night. Let the hole in which the tree is
to he placed be deep enough to allow a
couple of barrow-fulls of good earth be-
meath and around it, and when planted,
put box eight feet high around it, to
sustain it in its place, and protect it
from the assaults of animals. These
suggestions attended to, there will be, I
predict, seldom necessity for replant-
ing SHADE.

knew not what it was. He took somo of

very little of it. splitting the rest out. He
went down stairs, and in few moments
felt a burning sensation in his stomach.
His daughter, after finding he had tasted
what was kept for bed-bug poison, gave
hlm something to throw it off, and Drs.
Dodge and Clark were called, and gave
him antidotes. At first he suffered
terrible burning at the stomach, and
vomited blood. but shortly before he
passed away he breathed easier, and died
without q struggle. Just one month ago
to-day his wife died.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette throws some new light
on the old impeachment farce. He says
there were three distinct movements
which had in view the use of money.
The first involved $4,000, the second
S165, 900, and the third 500, ,OOO
Two of these, the first and last, were
set on foot by those publicly favor
ing conviction, and each of them had
ramifcations which extended into the
Senate. The third was the plot which
the House attempted to have investi-
gated, but which was allowed to go no
further than the farce in which Mr..
Woolley figured. The first attempt to
use money in the matter came to the
knowledge of Mr.. Johnson's friends in
the form of a proposition to bet $50, 900
that he would be acquitted. The offer
came from parties known to be in the
confidence of prominent radicals, who
stood before the country as strong i'm.
peachment men. This attempt was not
successful, however, although it con.
vinced those interested that votes could
be obtained for money. Meantime,

wife and threw her out of the wagon,

DIVORCE. frequency of divorce.
o subject which has been again raised, in
connection with the late miserable Rich
ar dson affair In New York, is a greater
scandal and peril to this country than
Mormonism, which is mostly local nui-
sance, and practically, outside of the
social influences of our country The
article of President Woolsey, OF Yale
College, on divorce Legislation in the
United States" to which we some time
ago referred, contains startling facts,
which deserve to be repeated and urged
upon the consideration of all good citi-
sens. Tho article is based on careful
examination OF the statistics of twenty
three States, including nearly all the
older ones. Tho causes of divorce are
given in the various reports presented to
the Legislatures. In Vermont, out of
671 divorces in five years. there were for
adultery, 164; willful desertion, 1888; de-
sertion, 60; intolerablo severity, 1876;
for refusal to support, 10; with 90
others, in most of which more causes
than one are mentioned. In Mussachu-
setts, out of 1884 divorces granted in
about five years, there we're for adultery,
GAG, or 40. 3 per cent. ; for desertion, esq,
or 45.6 per cent. for cruelty, 122, or
9.4 per cent; Is for intemperance and
81 miscellaneous. Here the large ratio
for adultery is startling. Can this repre-
sent the real state of the case? In Ohio,
ont of 2,681 cases Of which the causes
are particularly assigned, there were
granted for adultery, 935; for absence
and neglect, 1,030; for cruelty, 44D; for
intemperance, 196.-BdHimOye iS,tn

of each ball, through tube common to
the system, rings small bell attached

liver the ball to the servant, without
speaking word; and. obeying its order.
the servant takes pitcher of water. or
