MISTAKEN.

stupid, and over-bold. 1t says "the
next political contest is to be a national
one and the oldest inhabitant can,
to-day, form no idea as to what h
issues between the great political par
ties will be-" If the Crescent has no
Republican exchanges it ought to
subscribe for papers of that faith, and
from them it will soon learn that that
party's rallying cry for 1872 is to be
'.peath to the ku kluN." From this
tune forward, until the sun sets on a
Democratic victory on the first Tues
day in November, 1872, the country Is
TO be flooded with Ku klux messages,
Ku klux speeches, and ku klux edi-
terial leaders. 1t matters not that
negro male agents are assaulted by
Republicans in kentucky, that Radi-
cal office holders in Tennessee and
negroes in North Carolina are killed,
whilst in Ku kluN disguise, the cry
must still be sounded, ''DOwn with
the rebel ku Klux!" The aim OF this
whole scheme is transparent as we'll
as two-fold. 1t is supposed by the
men who work the wires that a bitter
and intiamed state of feeling can be
kept alive amongst the Northern peo-
pie, which will insure their votes for
the Radical nominees next year. 1t Is
also thought that a sufficient preteNt
can be raised for eXcludingthe electors
of such Southern States as shall see fit
to go for the Democracy. BY these
means the country is to be seduced
on the one hand, and driven on the
other, into an Endorsement OF the
present crew who infest Washington.

Unclean presence.

laid down by the party with which 1t
aiiiliates, though that platform should
be Numerically opposed to the posi-
ton assumed by this paper in regard
to lawless organizations in North Car
olina and Nevada. In this our cotem-
porary is sadly mistaken. The differ
ence between the course of this paper
and the Enterprise is this: We oppose
lawlessness and lawless organizations
both North and South-in Virginia
City as well as in South Carolina
while the Enterprise uphold~itat home
and denounces it abroad. The Ores
cent must be criminaliy stupid not &c
have observed this difference. We
stand squarely by the law, every
where; the Enterprise does moi. We
speak of Vigilance mobs a 5 local mobs,
whether they exist i'll the South or i'll
the North; the Enterprise speaks OF
those organizations in the South As
great political organizations trying to
overthrow the National Government,
because, forsooth, they hang a scoun-
drel now and then, while it terms Il
similar organization ut home a Com
mittee of Safety" and approves its
action in forcibly taking a prisoner
from the officers of the law and hang
ing him. Where does the Crescent
stand? 1t would do we'll to heed its
own language, and ''take n side, the
other side, or subside.'

Reclaiming Land In Holland.

The sea flows over certain shadows
in Holland, The shore belongs to pri-
vatc parties, or to the state, ~ the case
may be. Beneath the water is thick
layer Of fine black mud In its present
position it is useless. Exposed to the
air it will make the finest soil that can
be imagined, A company is formed and
possession taken of the tract of water.
At great expense an earthen wall is
projected into the sea, enclosing GER
tain space. Powerful pumps are erected.
Steam or wind power is applied, and
the seemingly hopeless task OF pumping
out whole square miles of water is at
tempted. The engineers take their
places, and the stockholders go to
sleep or die, rs the fancy strikes them.
Wait they must, AMI years will slip
away before the bottom Of their lake
appears. II their pockets were any
thing but Dutch, their bottoms would
appear before the land. At last n wet
bog takes the place of the sea, aud
ships sail up and look over the bank
at the newl y-discovered country. The
main work of the pumps is done, but
months must pass before the owners can
even walk upon the soft black mud.
bitches must he dug through it, and
Joined one to the other, so that the
pumps may begin once more and drain
the last drop from the spongy soil. In
about two years after it appears the land
is fit for the plow.
Then comes the first dividend for the
patient stockholders, and the heirs drag
forth the forgotten wills to see who owns
the new country. The land is divided
into farms of convenient size, and sold
or let at handsome profit. Hereafter
the only expense is.to keep the dyke in
order, to pump ont the rainfall and col
lect the rent. The happy shareholders
may go to sleep or travel. All is secure
unless the dyke bursts. They need
not concern themselves on that score.
Other men build houses with their chin
ney tops on level with the sea, and
risk their all on these sunken farms,
and the mere shareholders may bide in
peace.

Dry Goods Market.

The dry goods market begins to show
signs of unwonted activity, the demand
from jobbers being much improved, and
all indications pointing to an unusually
brisk business. Large duplicate sales
are already being negotiated, and Sep
tember opens with most encouraging
prospects, great number OF buyers
having already begun to look through
the market. ...t
COTTON GOODS.
During the last week all styles of cotton
goods have improved. Stocks are not
large with agents, and prices continue
firm.
Brown sheetings and shirtings are in
fair movement, especially the lower
grades, heavy goods being less lively.
Prices keep extremely Arm.
Bleached sheetngs and shirtings of
the finer or medium grades are less ac-
tive. but low qualities, and especially 3-i
ard 7-8 goods, are well sold up, without
change i'll prices
Colored cottons, ticks, denims and
stripes have been inquired for from first
hands. Satteens and jeans continue in
good demand and leading makes are
sold ahead of production.
Printing cloths continue firm mt 7!c.
for spot goods, with contracts for large
quantities to April next from 7lc. to 7sc,
Prints are firm on account of the ac-
tivity in the printing cloth market.
There are large number of buyers in
the market and operations have been
very free. From all Indications there
will be no weakness for some time to
come.
DRESS GOODS.
The business in dress goods is active
with both agents and jobbers, all the
better styles being taken freely, with
stocks much lower than usual so early in
the season.
HOSIERY.
Shirts and drawers have not been very
active from agents hands, but the bust
ness is fair with jobbers. In knit wool
lens and fancy hose the demand is good
in all departments, with orders in excess
of supply.
sHAwLs.
Business with iobbers has been very
active during the week and large amount
of goods have gone into distribution As
stocks are not sufficiently reduced with
iobbers to warrant duplicating, there
has been only limited inquiry with
agents.
woOLLEN GOODS.
The general demand for woollen goods
has somewhat improved, with more move
ment among iobbers and better feeling
throughout the market Jobbers have
done considerable business during the
week, and the indications for the coming
week are favorable for an increased bnsi-
ness. The demand has been moderate
for all styles of goods but with signs of
future hvelipess. Flannels have been
more lively in the demand from agents
hands than any other variety of woollen
goods, duplicate selections having been
already made.
italian cloths of the lowpriced varie-
ties are low in stock in agents hands.
The finer varieties are in better supply.
SKIRTS
For general lines of felt skirts there is
good trade and much activity with
new varieties. Large numbers of buyers
are in the city making extensive selec
tions Balmorals only move moderately
with the best makes
FOREIGN GOODS.
The foreign dress goods market has
been very active, and desirable styles are
scarce and firm.
Silks are in good supply, and white
goods, laces and embroideries move
freely. Black Thibets are active and
scarce.-N. Y. Herald

WIFE AS MORAL PRUNING KNIFE
A iudicious wife is always shipping ON

twigs that are growing in the wrong di-
rection. She keeps him in shape by
continual pruning If ycu say anything

n Won declare you will do some absurd
thing. she will find means of prevent
ing YOU from doing it. And by far the
chief part of all common sense there il

woman. The wisest things which a man
commonly does are those which his wife
counsels him to do. A wife is the great
wisldsr Of the moral pruning knife.

AGRICULTURAL WAGES IN ENGLAND. -
From q recent Parliamentary return we
get pretty full account of agricultural
wages in England. In the southeastern
division of England, very rich and pro
ductive region, laborers earn from los.
to los. week, and find themselves
south midland, los. to las. southwest
ern IS. 3D. to lis. west midland, 9s.
to 1885,, north midland, 12s to las
northern counties they range from Is. to
los. Women earn from 3s. to 6s. a
week !; children from Is. Cd. to 5s. 1t Is
something better in harvest time, and
there are local customs of allowing gar
dens, potato planting, bacon, &C., which
somewhat improve the condition of the
working population but the average OF
agricultural wages over England cannot
be more than fifty cents day for men,
twenty cents for women, fifteen cents for
children--a small enough sum for rent,
fuel, food. clothing-all the necessaries
of life. These are cheaper here than IN
America, excepting food, drink and
tobacco, which are much dearer. Food
is imported from America and must cost
more. The others are heavily taxed.

ToBAoco AND INSANITY. DR.. Boyd,
in the American Buihler, traces some re-
markable proportions between the CON
sumption of tobacco and the prevalence
of insanity. He cites two Belgian ply
sicians, Messrs. Grisian and Hagon, for
the statement that from 1918 to 1880 the
production of tobacco being $4,000, 600
kilogrammes, there were 10000 insane
reported annually. In 1912, with pro-
duction of SO,O00,000 kilogrammes of to-
bacco, there were $4,000 insane. In
1852. the tobacco product being 100
600 900 kilogrammes, the number of ma
macs had increased to 22,OOO. In 1864,
with a tobacco product of $50, 100000
kilogrammes, there were Al, 600 crazy
Belgians.

FATE OF A STRONG MAN.-The fate of
Vigneron, a Frenchman, who was killed
on the sands at Boulogne-surM Mer, in
the presence of many hundred spectators,
is, like Renforth's, proof of the fool
ishness of over-exertion. He was man
of extraordinary strength, age As, and
was known in most parts of Europe for
his feats of strength, and particularly
for lifting a cannon weighing 600 pounds
upon his shoulders and firing full
charge of gunpowder. He was going
through this performance with his usual
success, but while in the act of lifting
the cannon to lower it he slipped and
fell The whole weight of the cannon
fell on the face of the unfortunate man,
splitting his skull completely in two.
Death, of course, was instantaneous.

War in the Ocean.

Immense quantities of caplin are used
as bait for catching Goldfish. The shoals
{ caplin are SO great that boat can
frequently be filed in couple Of hours
by two men, with landing-net. Mil
lions, too, are carted away by the farmers,
and when mixed with earth and bog make
fertilizing manure The voracious cod
enjoy rare feast during the six weeks
that the caplin continue on the coast, and
devour the delicate creatures by myriads.
1t is an interesting sight to stand, on a
fine moonlight night, and watch the ar
rival of shoal of caplin in one of our
bays. The surface of the ocean is com
pletely covered with the moving mass
The greedy cod, in serried ranks, dash
upon their prey, bounding over the
waves, and rejecting the light of the
moon from their silvery surfaces. War
is raging, though the conflict goes on in
dead silence amid the waters-no sound
proceeds from victor or vanquished.
Dea5b is as busy amid these ocean soil
tudes as on the land. Here is vast
shoal OF caplin flying for life towards the
shore, and host of cod pursues them

FARMING IN JAPAN. reason why
Japan has superb farming, is that the
farmers rank next to the nobility, only
Koongays of the royal blood, princes,
lords rank above them. All merchants,
manufacturers, traders, artisans, carpen-
ters, &C., give precedence in rank to
those lords of the soil. The farmers
houses are like Swiss cottages, thatched
generally, with bamboo fences around
them, but with no fences on their fields
The tools they have would not pass
muster in America. Their hoe is more
like our shovel than hoe, though hung
as hoe ON bamboo handle. Ploughs
are not seen nor harrows Man or wo-
man seems to be plough and harrow
here. The fail, the regular old Ameri-
can farmers fail, is their threshing
machine. They pound off the husks of
the rice in a mortar, and man or woman
stand on level, and pump up and down
the pounding pestle in the mortar.
