DEAR HERALD: Your CORES.
pondent arrived here Tuesday
morning, at 1880, and was not
aware until after daylight, that
there was u mistake in the day
Wednesday, the 22d, should have
been the day announced in the
Handsboro Democrat instead of
goth instant.
We were comfortably lodged
for O day at the Thompson House,
kept by Messrs. Beauland & Co.,
clever gentlemen, and theirs is q
fine hotel, q new large brick, ex
cellently kept, and creditable even
to Vicksburg. The building /:
the property of Captain c. NJ
Thompson, son of Hon. Jacot
Thompson, with whom | am com,
lortably lodged and kindly cared
for.
will remark here that the Ok.
ford people are untiring in thetI
efforts to nleasa thv delegates.
Wednesday night we attended
the exercises of the Young La
dies Female College. The enter
tainment was very fine, and very
creditable to Rev. C. H. Bell, thu
President.
To-day, Wednesday, the Con
vention organized, with Captain
p. X. Mayors of the Handsborc
Democrat, in the chair, and Capt
Merrin, as Secretary. The organ.
ization was effected, and then ad
journed until 1 4:30P.M.
Tomorrow night the members
of the Convention are to be com
plimented by grand ball at tho
Thompson House. Tonight they
are invited to attend further exer'
cises of the Female College.
This afternoon Col. Noyes. O.
circus fame, invites all to his big
show.
All is in harmony and cncour
aging.
In haste, BJoU.

born in New Hampshire, and for
thirty years past a resident of
Georgia, In politics he was a
Union man throughout the war,
and since has been a partisan Of
the notorious Governor Bullock.
A Washington dispatch tells US
that the general feeling of dis
appointment at his appointment
is nowhere shown SO strong as
among Republican Senators and
members. Withlone accord they
denounce it, and declare that it is
far worse than the retention Of
Hoar would have been. A lead
ing Republican member of the
House said tonight: Il don't
like Fish, but l hope he won't
resign, for Grant would probably
appoint some Amos Smoker, of
Smokers Gap, to be Secretary of
State"
But in the face of this, the tele.
graph announces that he has been
confirmed by the Senate. These
quasi Southern converts to Radi-
calism, are the worst enemies
which the South has, and we
therefore anticipate no relief from
the grievous oppression under
which we suffer, from any act
which the Honorable Mr.. Acker-
man may take part in.

A VERY clever joke was recently
perpetrated at the expense of Pro
fessor Swallow, of the Missouri
Bureau OF Mining. A physician
sends the professor q rare geolog-
ical specimen, which that func-
tionary examines and pronounces
to be a bit of calcareous tufa, the
cellular structure of which is to
be accounted for by aqueous ac-
ton. By return Of mail, the doc
tor explains that the calcareous
tufa is a lump of maple sugar to
which ants have had access. Veri-
ly, there is often nothing in sci
ence, except its terminOlogy.

PRINCE DEMIDoFP is dead, aud the
Paris papers are full Of spicy rG-
comics OF the way in which he pass
ed his life. This Is one Of them:
"The late Prince Demidof was
some years since paying court to an
actress who was the fashion among
the bloods Of the day, and 1t was
his custom on entering the room to
fall on his knees before that adored
beauty. In those days long neck
scarfs and superb breast pins were
the fashion. The prince had, OF
course, invariably the superbest' OF
superb. The reigning favorlte
never omitted playtully taking the
pin out Of the scarf and placing II
IN her pincussion, to the great
amusement of the Prince. The pin
cushion soon became literally stud
ded with Jewels Of priceless value
One day the servant entered the
room with terror-stricken face

plled the actress, 'let him come in.

poor girl. But what?" exclaimed
the mistress. 'Oh, madaml the
Prince wears q short neck cloth.
Tell him, then, 'rejoined the beauty
that / am not at home It'll need
less to say that in future the Primes
never had the courage to call with
out q long Crayat and extraVagan
breastpin."

THE peculiarly mysterious ways
of the female sex 10 Indiana have
lately been manifested in a novel
phase by some half-dozen indig-
nantly virtuous danes, who, as the
most practical method of recalling
a fallen sister to u smarting sense
of her turpitude, resolved them
selves into an independent mid
night mission, and with faces
blackened, as n foil to the purity
of their hearts and to the recogni-
tion Of their persons, hauled the
object of their wrath from her bed,
stripped and striped her, and re.
vived her by pouring spirits of tur-
pentine into the wounds they had
inflicted. And now a burly ban
dit who worshipped at the shrine
of the divinity thus profaned has
sworn a solemn VOW to mctc iden.
tical retribution to each and all OF
the aggressors whenever he may
meet them, and some half-dozen
husbands are fastening prelimin-
AIRY measures for divorce in order
to avoid unpleasant responsibility.

DEAR HERALD The political
horizon lowering DER this part OF
Louisiana, presents, as l recently
heard a Radical politician say, a
very precarious appearance. The
Radical Party Of this parish have
had one or two pow vows at this
place, within the past month,
doubtless, for the purpose arrang-
ing their little preliminaries previ-
GUS to an ignomiaoHS defeat,
which they themselves seem aow,
to think inevitable. They held a
meeting here about a week ago,
for the purpose Of electing two
delegates to attend the Republican
State Convention, which meets in
New Orleans on the 2nd Monday
in August next. After q great
deal of murmuring and expressed
dissatisfaction on the part OF
the negroes, one H. V, Brown,
white; and Henderson Williams,
black; were chosen as the dele.
gates. The election Of Brown as
a delegate, did not seem to meet

The New York World says the
trade in human nature Is not con-
fined to that in coolies, but is car
ried on-or at least the results Of
it appear-under our very noses,
the slaves being the little Italian
boys and girls who play the harp,
and fiddle and sing in our streets
all through the summer, and, to
some extent, in the winter too. 1t
may be interesting to professional
philanthrOpists to know that these
children are sent from Italy, con-
signed to men who purchase them
here, and make money by sending
them out to weary the people into
paying them to "move on" They
are sent out early In the morning,
rain or shine, and must not return
to their masters until they have
collected each a certain amount of
money, the penalty of returning
empty-handed being cruel in the
extreme. This system has been
exposed again and again, and
once the Italian government inter.
fered with it, but now it is carried
on with utter disregard of law and
humanity. In the long run, it is
cruel to give even one Of these
vnlldren money, for what honefits
one Injuries q hundred.
