Grants Ku KIax in South Car0li
ma.


If the people care to know how
GRANT is -re-re-re re reconsructing the
South in order to obtain its electoral
votes next year, let them read the news
from South Carolina pub ished in this
issue of the SPIRIT. Bayonets, threats
and dungeons are parceled out to all
Democrats.
GRANT and the Radical leaders took
very good care to defer these outrageous
proceedings until after the October
elections. Such conduct, nearly seven
years after the last Confederate soldier
had grounded his arms, is sufficient
proof that the Radical leaders intend to
retain power Ey the force of Bayonets,
eating guns>and Dungeons.
Is it not time for the People,to awake
from their stupor, and, by their ballots,
pnt an end to this Radical par upon the
defenseless People of the South, and at
the same time to the existence of the
party that is wagine it?

Such a little break in the sod
So tiay to be grave
Oh how can render so soon 20 God
The beautiful gift he gave?
Must put you away my pet
My tender bud unbloWn-
With the dew Of the morning upon you yet
And your blossoms all unshown
Ny heart is near to break
For the voice | shall not hear,
For the clinging arms around my neck
And the footsteps drawing near.
The tiny, tottering feet,
Striving for mothers knee,
For the hspinG tones 50 sweet,
And the baby's kiss to me.
For the precious Mother-name
And the touch of the little hand
Oh, am | so very much to blame
II shrink IRON the sore demand?
How shall ! know her voice,
Or the greeting of her eyes,
Mid the countless cheruhs that rejoice
In the gardens OF Paradise
How shall know my own.
W here the air is white with wings,
Ny babe. so soon from my bosom flown
10 tie angels minis,erIngs
And this is the end ofitall
OF my waiting and my pain
Only little funeral pail.
And empty arms again.
Oh. baby. my heart Is sore
For the love that was 10 be,
For the untricd dream Of love now . .er,
Twixt thee. my child and me.
Yet over this little head.

1869, want none now, but for what rea-
son we are not informed. We do not hear
OF any Improvement in the health Of the
worms hatohed from eggs laid in Europe.
The French German war began in August,
when the cocoonery work of last year was
about done, and the time for commencing
this springs work has not yet come, and
there is a bare possibility that, if peace
and order are soon restored, there will vet
be good demand for eggs within a month
and, in that case, California will have a
decided advantage over Japan for selling,
because with the help OF telegraph and
railroad, San Francisco can fill orders
from France at least a month sooner than
can Yeddo. In case the French cocoon
cries generally should remain idle during
the spring and summer. California will
lose something in consequence of having
no foreign market for her eggs, but she
may gain much more in other respects.
Many Of the Frenchmen whose mulberry
plantations have been cut down, or whose
buildings and FARM implements have been
destroyed by the war, may prefer to seek
homes in some new country, where land is
cheap, labor dear. and silkworms healthy
al d such men will turn, without exception

The SILK Business Is CALIFoRNIA-
The last or current silk year, for it will
terminate in about month, has been un-
profitable to the cocooneries of California.
There is no sale for the eggs to the pro-
duction Of which they have been devoted
Our city has a building erected specially
for the manufacture Of silk, but it has not
yet commenced to run, and Mr. Neuman's
machinery, on which some domestic silk
was reeled, spun and woven into flags for
the capitos at Washington and Sacrament
to, IS now idle. Having no silk factory
in operation, we have no home market for
cocoons, nor Is there yet regular market
abroad for them. No system of packing
has been established, nor are there any
regular customers or fixed prices The
quality is known to be good and there
would certainly be ready sale for them,
bu: pressing would iniure them and with
out pressing the freight would be expen-
sive. Until this year we have never pro-
duced enough cocoons to export. Nearly
all that we could grow We're needed for
home consumption. and there was also
large foreign demand for eggs; and it was
in reliance on that demand that the work
of last year was done. The cocoons were
converted into eggs, but before the time
for selling arrived, the European war, un-
fortunately destroyed the market. The
breeding of the silk worm in France has
been so much disturbed that there is no
call now for foreign eggs, which were pre-
viously imported to a value ranging from
S2,OOO,900 to S4,00O,0O0 annually. 1t
seems even that Italy and Switzerland,
which bought large quantities of eggs in

What's the Natter with that Nose ?


/ Snyder kept beer saloon some years

Teuton of very irascible temper sudden
and quick in quarrel getting mad in u

great resort for the boys, partly because
/ of the excellence of his beer, and partly
/ because the boys liked TO chafe old Sny-
/ der, as they called him-tor, although his
bark was terrific, experience had taught
them that he wouldn't bite.
One day Snyder was missing and it was
explained by his frau who .icrked the
beer that day, that he had gone out
fishing NIT der poys' The next day one
of the boys who was particularly fond Of
roasting old Snyder, dropped n to get
glass of beer, and discovered Suyder's
nose, which was Big one at any time
