WOODS HOUSEHOLD MAGAz1NE-Most
heartily do we welcome the May number of
Woods Household Magazine. We hardly
recognized it as it entered our office in it's
new spring clothes; but while admiring the
color and quality of it's dress, we were
delighted to discover that it adorned our
old friend. The improvements which have
followed thick and fast in this Magazine,
show the enterprise and success of its pub
fishers. The heavy paper is a great addi-
ton as well as the cover, and its typo
graphical appearance is unsurpassed. Its
contents are unexceptionable, and among
its list of contributors are some of the most
noted writers of the day. We do not
understood how Mr.. Wood is able to do so
much for so little money-nevertheless we
are very glad to acknowledge his achieve
ments. The Magazine is furnished for the
small sum of one dollar. Specimen copy
free. Address S. S. WOOD & Co., New

OYSTER NAVY.

AS the famous "Oyser Navy, made
itself conspicuous by sundry captures OF
decoy ducks, sink boats, etc., from the
Havre de Grace duckers last winter, the
public would doubtless like to know some
thing of its history. This famous "navy"
dates its existence from 1867, a law having
been passed by that Democratic Legisla-
ture, creating this formidable fleet. For
construction, arming, salaries, ETC., the
cost to the State in 1868 was $21, 321.91.
An enterprise so extensive-one small
steamer-could not be completed in sim
gle year, and hence we find in the next
years report to the Legislature for balance
for constructing and arming steamer"
under an act of 1868, of $12, 9S5.56, with
the further addition to the expenditure for
the "navy" that year, composed of salary
and other items, of SIS, 201.21, making an
aggregate expense to the State of$2S, 1860.
In the Report for the fiscal year, ending
Both of September, 1870, on account Of this
renowned "navy" we have the still further
bill of expenses contained in the following
items:
"For construction, &C.," $12.39S. ID
Salaries and expenses of Oyster

It's Past History.

hen the Wing party was about to ex-
pre-, after the election of 1852, because the
issues upon which it had existed had ceas-
cd 10 be living ones, tho larger portion of
that party seized upon the idea of organic
ing Native American party. Out Of this
idea came the so-called Know-Nothinc or
Sanization. 1t had eleven years before been
baptised in riot and bloodshed in Philadel-
phia. A Catholic church had been con-
sumed, and when its tower came crashing
10 the earth in sheet Of flame, band sta
toned near by gaily played "Boyne Water"
as an indication Of the feelings of those
who had kindled the flame In 1854 the
slavery question, which was incident to the
times, presented itself as the most availa-
bic issue of the two, and that was seized
upon as the new Shibboieth of opposition to
the Democratic party. It swept the whole
North Ike Il whirlwind, and eliminated IN
q bloody civil war. That issue is now dead
and those who espoused its cause find
themselves just where the old Wing party
stood in 1852. The grave is closing over
that element of organization which has
given them this power. What is TO be donel
The party has got to find new departure.
Ii finds no hope of any tenable ground
save in the Know \ othing organization of
the past. Having secured to the negro the
ballot as an offset to its use by our adopted
citizens, and not Us matter of right, the
party is forced To fall back upon the old
bigoted assumption that only Americans
should rule America. Followed as it has
been, by an immediate reorganization Of
the know-Nothing councils in New York,
it requires no stretch of imagination to as
sumo that the late riot in that city was in
stigated by those interested in the future Of
the Radical party, and who desire to make
its change of position from an anti-slaycry
TO an anti-foreign party easy and of ready
accomplishments. The surface indications
favorable to the new movement have been
becoming more and moro palpablcfor the last
year or tTya, end We think will now be
found To have taken form. The great ne
ccssity Of the ease WAS the preparation Of
some a:Ieaee against law bya distinctive
foreign organization, and that necessity. it
was found, could be supplied on the oe
casion Of the Orange parade in New York.
Ii was seized upon and used, and the Radi-
cal party is again converted to a new saith
and received a rev baptism. Detroit Free

The Orangemen-The New Proposed
Know Nothing Order.

The order Of Orangemen in this country
Is d malignant curse to the people. The
orange ribbon is u badge which they wear
Of treason to their country and of the re-
ligious prosecution Of their countrymen.
The Orangemen were the Irish recruits for
the British army which conquered Ireland,
prescribed the religion of the Irish people
and reduced them TO serfdom. They help
ed to place the English yoke on the necks
Of Irishmen, and to produce in ireland al
the terrible evils and calamities which it
has suffered from English tyranny during
two hundred bloody and disastrous years.
They were traitors to their country In
1890, and their celebrations and professions
commemorate and glorify their treason
Their countrymen were not only reduced TO
political servitude, but dctestable system
Of religious persecution was also applied,
which the orangemcn celebrate and honor
at their anniversaries.
1t is as if the surviving tory malignants
of the revolution, Americans unworthy Of
the name, who enlisted in the British army
sent over the seas 10 conquer our fathers,
had formed secret political society with
oaths, grips and passwords, and should
meet 80 commemorate and honor the treas
on Of Benedict Arnold. In their effects
upon the excitable, patriotic Irish mind,
the Orange demonstrations Hre far worse
than tie effect Of these demonstrations of
this tory league would be on the patriotic
American mind. For they celebrate the
tT5qmGh Of f2rsgn f. tie ss "haG5 Sc
persecution.
1t shows the surprising generosity of
our laws and institutions THAI this mahg-
nant secret order is permitted 10 exist and
celebrate its anniversary among US, and
that the entire civil and military power of
q great State IS used to protect them in
their oiious riots. Not in England nor in
Canada, where riots similar to that of New
York have occurred, have the police and the
army been so torrifcaliy used 10 suppress
violence, and protect this odious organiza-
ton in its violent demonstrations.
And now, it is proposed 10 institute
another know nothing order to protect this
organization, ami to oppose the rights of
the Catholics. The project will undoubt-
edly be successful, and half of the Rcpab-
Gcan party will join. That party needs n
new tanaticism, Us all its old ones are ex-
hausted. This comes like gOdsend unto
them. 1t is q windfall TO roplcnish their
depleted stock in trade. They are welcome
to it, and advised TO make The most of it

The Terrible Famine in Persia.

Mr.. Bruce, of the Church Missionary So
ciety in Ispahan, writes on the 22d of April:
ain reference to the famine which RACES
from Teheran southwark and eastward in
the cities and districts of Irak, portion of
Koordistan, and Loovistan, Kars, Herman,
khorasan, and Clan, in FIVE OF. the largest
ports Of Persia, the suffering is fearful. 1t
is impossible for tongue to describe its hor-
rors. Here in Ispahan bushel of wheat
is eight dollars, of barley seven, and millet
six; cotton and rice seed still more expen-
sive. (As money in Persia is worth five
times as much as in this country, eight
dollars for a bushel of wheat there is equiv
alent to forty here.) Multitudes are d ying
from starvation-I cannot tell how many
But in villages numbering five hundred
houses ROW but two hundred remain. Null
titudes have died and multitudes have fed.
They hardly look like human beings.
Their appearance is fearful to behold. As
| got out into the streets the dead and dy-
ing met the eye constantly. They snatch
at everything to eat; husks of barley, blood
of animals, flesh of dead horses and don
keys. Shop-keepers stand before their shops
with clubs to keep the hungry and starv-
ing from carrying everything away. La
montation and bitter crying for bread are
heard on all sides from objects staggering
along the streets. You viii see people in the
public squares selling their clothes and all
they possess for mere pittance in order
to get few pence for bread, but to prolong
their sutferings a brief hour. Mothers run
frantic, saying, "What shall do my
children are dying for lack of bread"
Three-fourths of Ispahan ore beggars to-day
for bread.
FStraw for horses is very scarce, and the
poor animals are dying, and hungry people
strip the meat off their bones ut once. A
man just come from Bushirs says the fam
inc to the south is more fearful than here;
that whole families are dying off, and the
dead lie without burial
