The National Democratic Party.

Eds. Neors, Bristol Tenn:-The time
has come for the people of the southern
States to connect themselves pO-
Htic,.Uy with the great Democratic
Party of the north, By name, as well
as in principle. The Conservatives"
OF the South in 1868 heartily supported
Seymour and Blair, and so far as the
writer knows endorsed and approved
every word of The platform of princi-
pies laid down by the convention that
nominated then. Agreeing with the
northern Democracy IN principle why

and holding the balance Of pOUer be-
tween the northern Dcmocra V and

THE present year a new Legislature

We want State organization
that will act in harmony with,

the Democratic Party of the Union.
Do this here in our own State, and we
will ha. c fairness here at home, and at

preached DIR. Roberts, in front of
Phelps Hotel. about one O'Clock, to-
uay, and ac, used him with cruelty to
. his dog. 4 short conversation was
then had between them, when Johnson
told DIR. II. that he would hold him ac-
cOuntaIle, at the same time raising in
his left hand a riding whip or cow
hide. Roberts then drew Il pistol,
which WAS quickly followed by John
~on also drawing one. TSO shots were
tired by each party, neither of Dr.
Roberts taking effect. JohnsOn's first
shot penetrated DIR. Roberts body in
the region of the heart, and the second
in the ldomcn, from the effects of
which he died in a few minutes.
johnson was promptly arrested, and
is in confinement
The unfortunate affair caused great
deal of excitement. and a general
gloom prevails in the community

DR.. Roberts little dog jumped on his

TrspicalDe Delights,

The witty Sydney Smith thus de-
scribes the pest of animal life in the
tropics: " Insects" he says, are the
curse. The bette rouge lays the founda-
ton of tremendous ulcer In a mo-
ment you are covered with ticks.
Chigoes bury themselves in your flesh,
and hatch a colony of young chigoes
in few hours. They will not live to-
eether, but every chigoe sets up sep
arate ulcer. and has his own pri-
waite portion of pus. Flies get into
your mouth. into your eyes, into your
nose; you eat flies, drink flies, and
breathe flies. Lizards, cOckroaches
and snakes get into your bed ants eat
up the books scorpions sting you on
the foot. Every second of your exis-
tence, you are wounded by some piece
of animal life, that nobody has ever
seen before, except Swammersiam and
Merriam. An insect with eleven legs
is swimming in your tea cup; non
descript, with nine wings - struggling
i'm the small beer; or caterpillar, with
several dozen Of eyes In his belly, is
Fastening over the bread and butter.
All nature is alive, and seems to be
gathering all her chronological hosts
to eat you up, as you are standing, out
of your coat, waistcoat and breeches.
Such are the tropics. All this rec
onciles us to our dews, fogs. vapors aud
drizzle; to our apothecaries rushing
about with gargles and tincturcs; to
our old British constitutional coughs,
sore Threats and swelled faces"
