SLErpING FLOWERS. Almost all
flowers sleep during the night.
The marigold goes to bed with the
sun, and with him rises weeping.
Many plants are so sentative that
their leaves close during the pas
sage of cloud. The dandcli0n
opens at five or six in the NOR
ing, IN | shuts Mt nine in tAa even,
ming The goats beard wakes at
three in the morning, and shuts at
five or six in the evening. The
common daisy shuts up its bios
som in the evening and opens its
"day's-eye' to meet the early
beams Of the morning sun. The
crocus, tlip, and many others,
close their blossoms at different
hours toward evening, The ivy
leavcd lettuce opens ut eight in the
morning, and closes forever at four
in the afternoon, The night llow.
cring cercus turns night into day.
It begins to expand its magnificent
sweet centcd blossom in the twi-
light, it is full blown at midnight,
and closes never to open again
with til dawn of day Ina clover

sunrise. So says celebrated Eng

Head-Center MainX Still at
Large.
STRICT GUARD OVER PRISONERS.
U. 3. Marshal Determined to Arrest
''1 Every Fenian Officer.
FENIANs IN STARVING CONDITION

MALONE, W., May 3l.-The escape Of
Edward Mainx, Fenian Center, has
caused great excitement and extra pre-
cautions to be taken against a similar
effort by the remainder of the prisoners.
Captain Harlow, commanding the guard
house, states that the first man who
moves beyond the sentry lines will be
shot down mercilessly by the guards.
The escape of Mainx was daring and
well contrived. The prisoners were
being removed from the upper story OF
the guard-house to small compartments
below, under guard. When the sentry
turned his back, Mainx jumped through
a window into saw pit, distance OF
fifteen feet, and through the connivance
Of an outside sentry, made his escape.
The World correspondent witnessed the
affair, and saw Mainx jump into wagon
and disappear Efforts of the Marshal
and troopsqto recapture him have been
fruitless.
The United States Marshal has deter
mined to arrest every Fenian officer
found. frdi
The Fenians here are literally starving.

THE NEW PARTY MOVEMENT.

We would not If it were IN our power,
change the name of our organization
from that of the Democratic party.
Those " no are DESTROYS of doing so can
have no just motive in view, and will fail
in the attempt. If men are dissatisfied
with the principles we advocate, then
they should join the opposition, and not
endeavor to swap names, in which
there can be little real significance.
We are induced to believe that these
disaffected parties have a selfish
intention ahead, which can hardly be
gratifed under the present arrangement
of parties, and knowing that fact, seem
to favor throwing the political world into
state of chaos, expecting to reap honor
and profit from the disorder We like
the name of Democrat as party cogno-
men, believing that our ideas of popular
government may be fully expressed by
it. 1t has become endeared to every true
lover of liberty in this country, and
has stood the storm of years. and
revolution that came near sweep
ING us as a nation out of existence.
There can be but two parties in the
State, it matters little what some may
desire. If the complications of the times
demanded more, the reason would be APP
parent without hunting shallowspretexts
for getting up a third party for those
who disagree with every one else. 1t is
true the Democratic party, in some of
the States having large negro popula-
fions, is unable to cope with its formid-
able rival, but the condition of the white
people would scarcely be changed
for the better if any other than the
name Democrat should be adopted.
The Democrats in those States seek to
change their name to avoid defeat at the
hands of the Radicals, and in Tennessee,
as in other States where the Democracy
is in the ascendancy, the radical Repub-
licans would, if possible, increase their
strength by publishing themselves as
Independents. There are at all times
more or less of dissatisfied and disap-
pointed men Of both parties, that are
ever willing to join any new adventure
that should be created in order TO satiate
their appetite for place and notoriety.
And it is from this class alone we
hear the discordant sounds in the
political atmosphere. Under the time
honored name Democrat, We have
been enabled to effect complete revolu-
ton in our State policy, and to achieve
victory from an enemy that was thought
to be impregnable in his power 1t is
the flag that shall fly from our masthead
in the coming contest, without the dimin-
ution of one of its familiar symbols or the
erasing of single word from the noble
inscription that has become sancti6ed by
the storm of battle through which it has
passed

THE ELEpHANT AT LAST.

The West Point correspondent OF the
New York Sun furnishes q facetious &C
count of the first negro cadet at the Mill
tary Academy, on the 18th ult. Making
all due allowances for exaggeration, II
must have been an interesting ceremony
his reception His name is Charles
Howard, shiny black, FIVE feet high
(regulation size), from Mississippi,
through the fundamentally of Pierce OF
the Fifth district. His style is said to
SAVIOR of the plantation, as for instance
when porter lifted his carpet-bag he
said: "What you gwine to do wild dat
bag, sah2 You dun LET it drap. The
Suns correspondent says:
The first African cadet landed from
the ferry-boat with jaunty AR, and,
lifting his military hat, he inquired Tor
the West Point Hotel. On arriving
there he registered his name and asked
for a room. For the first time at this
hotel cadet was refused a room
Charles said something about his rights,
and sauntering out on the campus he
inquired for Col. Jerry Black The news
flew over to Col. Blacks, who, then and
there, with Col. Boynton and Others,
held very serious council of war; The
African came and stood before them
before Colonel Black of the regular army
and respectfully asked that his equal
ity be recognized. The Colonel waved
him away with his hand, and one by one
the officers departed, speeches. with
amazement. -.
The white cadets seemed paralyzed,
+" II is dreadful, says one. LETS put
the niger in the river" says another.
Some of them threaten to resign, while
others talk OF killing the black boy out
right. One young Democrat from Hill
nois exclaimed: Great God, what shall
we do? He viii have to drill with us for
four weeks before the examination,
any way. He will have to be, bilged.
One thing is certain, the black cadet
is here. He is undoubtedly physically
qualified. He must now drill with the
white cadets until the examination on the
9th of July. Then he will fail in mem
tai examination, and go back to Missis-
sippi. This is the programme, for the
examining officers have power to reject
any applicant. General Schriver and
Colonel Black are opposed 10 the Afri-
can, and while they are at the head of the
National Academy, the black boy will
remain ON the plantation.
Whatever may be the result, so far as
the Mississippi cadet is concerned, it is
the Inauguration of difficult matter to
arrange instanter, as it is understood
that another negro is soon to follow, from
Columbia, S. c. Buffers appointment
% negro cadet is said to have been a
piece of trickery as he was aware at the
time that his appointee was too young,
and for that cause could not be accepted.
May it not be possible that the attempt
to yitiate and radicalize the Military and
Naval Academies will either destroy the
usefulness of those institutions, or inang-
urate the necessity of a breakwater to
repel the tide of social equality sought
to be inflicted on the community by the
thinkers who are celebrating all the old
landmarks that they may revert to chaos
through the means of despotic measures
and ruinons experiments? The latter is
a consumption devoutly to be wished
