A Woman Of Brain aud stature.

\ correspondent has tie fol-
lowing notice of one OF the staff
editorial of the New York Times:
My woman is a remarkable
woman. She measures nearly
six feet in stature. She-but I
will tell you the story in proper
chronological order.
1t is now some two years since
the office of the Tribune was as
sailed, one fine morning, by what
appeared very much like a wild
Irish girl. She applied to the
meek-faced Horace for q position
ON the staff of the moral Tribune.
She talked horses to Horace. She
amazed him by the scope of her
equine knowledge, but twas no
go. Horace didn't want a horse
editress. She then entered into
a discussion with the farmer-edi-
tor on tho subject of carrots and
cabbages. Horace admitted that
she had IL wonderful knowledge
of agricultural subjects, but pre-
ferred to be his own editor in
that department.. Failing to gain
the position she sought OH the
Tribune, the lady's next visit was
to the Sun, but Dana proved as
obdurate as Greedy, and she had
to beat retreat there. Finally
she was caught up by the Times
and made agricultural editor of
that paper, and here she has re-
manned ever since. Her depart
ment includes the reporting of
all tho races and cattle shows
throughout the country, and she
is always to be met at these pla-
ces. 1t is>a curious sight to see,
moving about among the sporting
mon and reporters, tho strapping
form of Middle Morgan. But
she is not out of place, if knowl
edge of a subject can capacitate
ono for Il place. She knows more
about horses and their diseases
than nine-tenths of the profession
nj horsemen in the co,...try.
Middle, although a giantess in
form, has n most amiable and
pleasing face, and is every inch
the real lady. She has the one
fault that seems to permeate the
entire feminine genus. She avill
talk, and her conversation is of:
tentimes voluminous, but then
she is always so thoroughly good.

New YORK, Sept. 5.-The re-
port to be furnished to the coun-
try this evening of the inter-
view of the Warmoth Republi-
cans with the President at Long
Branch is not reliable, but made
up to order by a subcommittee,
who retired to D beer saloon for
that purpose after having left
Grants mansion. The reporters
were rigidly excluded from the
interview, the LOuisianians say
by order of the President-the
latter says at the request of the
delegation. The darkey at the
Presidential door stopped the re-
porters and peremptorily ordered
them to leave. The Associated
Press reporter then attempted to
run the blockade, but Grant him
self put him out. The interview
lasted twenty minutes, at the
close of which the reporters were
told that a report "would be made
up to order and that they would
be furnished with it, A men,
ber of the delegation who has
just returned to New York says
the President was greatly ex-
cited and twice interrupted the
reading of the memorial. When
Casey's outrage was alluded to,
he stamped his foot angrily Oh
the floor and again pounded the
piano with his hand, showing all
through the reading extreme
agitation. The President did not
wait for the end of the reading,
but interrupted by saying: Goa
sey was not there.'
Col. Dibble, of the delegation.
replied that the soldiers were
stationed there by command of
Casey.
Grant denied it. When the
reading was over, the President
said he would show the docu-
ment to the other side and hear
what they had to say about it.

The Effect of COncuSsiOn.

Editor RuraL SOuth- -LaNd.-
Conclusion will not have the de.
sired effect, unless used at night
when the air is dense. This Mr.
AtWOoA neglected to stNte.
Conclusion, as fertilizer, is
now being tried by the Govern
ment. The National Daily Re-
publican, of Washington, ID. c.,
under date OF 18th instant, under
the heading Of "Astounding An
nouncement,' says that Lieut..
George $. Grimes, of the Signal
Service, u. S. a., is instructed to
use twenty tons of gun powder
san indirect fertilizer" I, sirs,
will risk my reputation as far
mer on conclusion being the best
fertilizer known. Eve pounds of
powder will produce better effects
than five tons of guano. But on
this, more anon.
Conclusion will destroy yellow
fever, or any epidemic; that is,
concussion will destroy animal
culH. Now, you say that it was
tried in New Orleans in 1868
"without any beneficial effect
Was it used at night? Now, an
imalcule do not float on the air
when the air is hot or rarified.
Persons will not take this fever
unless they sleep in the affected
parts of the city at night. Visi-
tors just spending the day in
cities in time of yellow fever
never take it, but if they spend
the night there, then there is
danger. How long did thcy keep
up cOncussion in 1868? Now,
we know that a Mr.. Jones, from
the mountainous parts of Geor-
gia, visited Savannah when the
yellow fever was raging, spent
one night, and in eight days at
ter, took the fever and died.
If the theory is true that OPT
denies are caused by poisonous
insects, or animalcul;e in the air,
then I claim that conclusion will
destroy it.
Now, Mr.. Editor, the cholera

and as the Government of tho

three years the executive powers
of M. Theirs. AS President Of
the Republic he is charged with
the prOmulgatian and execution
of the laws. He will have charge
of the domestic and foreign ad-

will be personally responsible to

pleasing to the Republican masses,
but is exceedingly distasteful TO

The Louisiana Legislature.

"W. Z. Co. the correspondent
OF the New York journal of
Commerce, gives Il graphic sketch
Of the charactar OF the present
Legislature of Louisiana. He
says: eff the great Republican
party Of the North knew and ap-
preciated the general character
of its representatives in the Leg
is1ature of Louisiana and the city
government of New Orleans, it
would hide it's face in shame.
Men who at home could not Oh
tain credit for Il pound OF soap or
be appointed inspectors clerks at
q precinct election, blaze forth
here in full glory as prominent
politicians. While there are real
ly respectable and honest men,
both native and Northern, in the
Republican party in New Or
leans, yet they are devoting their
time to making money in legiti-
liate business and not to politics.
The consequence is that the very
worst element of the party in
power in Louisiana is the one
that rules State containing over
twenty-six million acres OF land
and three quarters of Il million
of Inhabitants. White men and
black, minglediin delightful con-
fusion, hobnebbing in extreme
familiarity, are seen there at the
capital at all times when the
Legislature is in session. One
of the shaded specimens Of this
august body was pointed out to
me on st. Charles street. With
his head we'll thrown back and
thumb in armhole of his vest, he
assumed more airs than King
Booloo of Loango. They say
that fellow is quite ignorant, but
has made plenty of money since
he has been 4 member of the
Legislature. One of the officers
of a certain railroad that has re-
ceived q large amount Of bonds
says the company paid $25O,OOO
to get its bills passed. l have
conversed freely with gentlemen
who are interested in contracts
for public improvements, and
matters in which bonds were to
be issued or money paid. They
unanimously assert that the mem
bers of the Louisiana Legislature
do not wait to be bribed, but de-
liberately fix a price, and say
bills shall or shall not pass until
they are paid. a gentleman
wanted a certain bill passed in
which some bonds were involved.
He was besieged by these fellows,
one after another, until he de-
clares he made up his mind that
they were regular harpies, and
intended to take what they de-
manded and destroy the rest.
1t was a public Improvement,
and the necessary fees to the
Legislature were so great that
his contract was almost worth
less. l thought the South Caro-
lima Legislature as a body was
about as irresponsible and as
openly corrupt as any Legisla-
tive organization could be but
the Louisiana Legislature is
ahead of it and is notoriously
the worst in the Southern
Statcs.'
