In collecting clothing for the
Chicago sufferers in Pawtucket,
Rhode Island, n few days since,
the children in one of tho infant
schools were given a recess to go
home and bring whatever wear :
ing apparel they had to .spare.
One of the little girls went home
for her share, and, as her mother
had stepped out, concluded to
help herself, and accordingly
packed all the dresses, &c, Of
which she was possessed save
what she had on, md, with all
the gravity possible, presented
them to the committee, who, of
course, packed them with the
rest and sent them away. When
the little girls mother came to
look for a change OF clothes for
the child after school, the dis
covery of what had been done
took place, and the consterna-
ton in that family can better be
imagined than described. phe'
little miss said she had been sent
home to get her clothes, and she
had obeyed to the letter. E.lsii

be superior to it, having fnlf Its

lady, of North Carolina, and
what renders the book specially
interesting to us, here, is the
statement that the scene iso laid

the authors. intention in that

At any rate it is in the South.

1t is believed by prominent
gentlemen, that the spread of
small pox in the eastern cities, is
attributable to the sale of buffalo
robes taken from the camps of
Hilgon and Blackfcct Indians,
who were so severely stricken
with that disease two years ago.
Since then, several robes which
were prohibited from being offer
ed to the markets, have disap-
pcared, and it is believed they
have been brought east.

"a Communist woman was sem

pie gathering around to witness
the execution. just as the soldiers
were about to fire she raised her
hands with the words, n instant.
The soldiers paused. The woman
had on good outer garment;
this she took off, and seeing a
woman in the crowd in rags,
went up to her and said, take
this: it is IL pity to spoil good
clothes. Then she returned to;
her place and was shot. Such
was the last selfish thought of a
dying petroleuse, and such tho
heroism which inspired the troops

In n lengthy article on the mis-
erable state OF affairs in the dis
tricts of South Carolina which
incurred the Presidents displeas-
ure, the Boston Post uses this
plain language: Were Il strang-
or to drop down fresn n balloon
into the doomed district of South
Carolina, he would never sup
pose that he had landed on the
same side of the planet with re-
publican government. He would
sec towns and cities abandoned
and desolate, trade stagnant and
dead, a whole population fleeing
beyond the borders, fields left
with their products unharvested,
women and children suddenly
bereft of their supporters and
protectors, industry at an end
society dismantled, and distres.
and fear everywhere prevalent
From all accounts, this is by NJ
means an over-drawn picture.

Il. s. Pipes, Esq, DounsUille, La.:
DearSir-Having reached home
yesterday evening from a visit to
jackson and Bienville, I received
yours of the 2Sth ult. to-day and
reply at once, though I would
much prefer seeing you, if had
the time to visit your place.
I suggested your name i'll the
meeting because I thought pru-
dent, careful men were necessary,
and serious consideration indie
spensible. 1 was a member of the
meeting in Farmerville, but had
nothing to do with calling it; and
in the beginning, and before tax
ing any part therein, 1 inquired
of who last year had some
predictions towards a Third
Party, if there was any purpose
or intention of breaking up the
present Democratic organization.
He assured me there was not /;
though L was told that a promi-
nent member Of that meeting re-
marked on the street, "that the
name Democratic would beat
any party"
am still q little afraid that the
s'Tax-Payer's Convention" may
have been originated by persons
in the hope of creating a Third
Party, though a taxpayers con-
vention may accomplish good,
composed Of honest delegates,
coming directly from the people.
How, / will tell directly.
1t is superfuous for me to tell
you my reasons for deeming u
Third party extremely inexpedi-
ent, though will shina few of
them.

| their party,We must recOllect that
there are plenty of men now act
ing with the Democratic party
who would go over to the Repub-
licans the moment the Democratic
party is destroyed, and we would
probably lose more than we would
gain. The American party, in
1864, lost more old line Wings
than it gained Democrats, and
the result was the complete over
throw of the old Wing pacty and
the American party. Other rea-
sons might be given.
The foregoing is not pertinent
to the inquiry in your letter, but
1 think it important that the del
egates be fully on their guard
against the new party schemers
of 1870. I agree with you that
this matter requires serious con-
sideration, and also that the time
appointed is earlier than neces-
sary.
Now as to the policy to be pur-
sued in that Convention Any
and all measures that will secure
the greatest concert Of action and

of Louisiana.
An overwhelmingly large ma
jority Of the taxpayers of our
State are Democrats, and their
candidates must needs be Demo
Gratis. Nine-tenths of the intelli-
gent men in the State belong to
and have acted with the Demo
cratic party for the last seven
years, and hence there is no rea-
son for the assertion that the
name. s'Democratic' is fatal to a
party.
To secure this concert of action
in 10, the party needs organiza-
ton. Clubs should be established
in every neighborhood, with the
open and continued avowal of the
principles of retrcnchrnent and
reform, of liberty and justice,
which are the principles of the
Democratic party. Standing firm
ly and boldly by these principles,
the great masses Of the people
will be driven into our ranks to
escape the Radical outrage and
plumber that has placed our State
upon the verge of irretrievablc
bankruptcy and ruin. Beyond
these ancient principles and land
marks we cannot compromise ;

SHOOTING BOATING AND FISHING. FOR YOUNG
SPoRrsMEN. BY I. Robinson Warren. New York:
Z; scriDner Co. 1871. l2mo., PIP. 1o5. Three
plates
This is much the best brief book OF sports we have
had While 1t makes no prerensions 10 encyclo-
p9dtc Information, leaving that 70 the exhaustive
writers on angling and sporting, 1t Is full OF nne
practical hints how to do it interviewer with
lively narrative OF land ana water excursions in
pursuit OF game and fish. The author writes In q
fresh, rollicking style-though never oversteppinR
the limits OF good taste-and puts q graphic power
into his descriptions OF the successful pursuit OF
game which renders them exceedingly attractive.
This little volume would prove splendid tonic for
warm weather The chapter on "Boat Sailing"
showing now to manage q boat is alone worth the
price OF the book.
