A morning paper says, of the appointment of
Chester A Arthur to succeed Murphy As Collec
tor Of the Port OF New York, that "Arthur is a
Fenton man, and his appointment is understood

ing wings OF the republican party in y ew York"
The fact is that Arthur is not a Fen ton man.
but is warm supporter OF the administration
and warm adherentOf Murphy's. His appoint
ment, therefore, has no political significance
whatever as regards truce between the repub-
lean wings, and little significance of any sort.

During the past three years forty-nine of the
August meteOrs have been so successfully iden-
tiled, at different stations, that their distance
from the earth could be calculated Their
average height at appearance was found to be
about seventy-seve miles; at disappearance,
ffty-fOur miles. The velocity, relatively to the
'arth, was estimated at thirty-four to thirty
seven miles per second Astronomical theorists
long ago set down the average velocity at thirty
eight miles to the second. The above obserya-
tiOns show that their reasoning brought them
very near the correct figures.

A California EDITORS Farewell to his
Lady Friends.

Emotional insanity having been so Of
ten pleaded successfully by husbands in
California in defense of shooting or
knitting some suspecting gallants, the
San Francisco News Letter says:
All mems wives who have hitherto
enjoyed the advantage of our acquain-
lance are hereby notified that this
ceases to-day, never to be renewed. 1t
is with deep grief that we disrupt the
social relations which promise so much,
but we feel impelled thereto by the
first law of nature. +tgt |:54
Our lady friends who have the mis-
fortune to be married to other and in
ferior men will please stick like a
leach to their legal protectors, and not
recognize us on the street. We have
taken considerable pleasure in their
society-a pleasure which we fiatter
ourselves has been mutual-but this
thing can no longer be permitted to
go on. We trust that our motive
which is pure cowardice-will not be
misconstrued. Somebody perishes in
gloriously every day for. being upon
speaking terms with married women,
and we do not care to have our turn
come round.
Deeply grateful for the past forbear-
ance of aggrieved husbands we make
our bow and retire. Hereafter our
mods and smiles will be lavished upon
girls and widows exclusively; none
others need apply. Whosoever shall
attempt to introduce us to his own
wife, or that of another man, will be
regarded as conspirator against our
precious life, and subjected to abuse in
the columns of this journal. Nature is
strong in us, and we do not wish to
die. Whenever we shall feel a desire
that way, we shall treat somebody's
wife with common courtesy, get shot,
and go quietly to our reward.

The Country not Hurt.

We have all along maintained the
views SO clearly expressed below by
our cotemporary, the N. o. Bulletin,
in reference to the effect to be produced
upon the country by the fall in the
price of cotton:
No planter who has operated in pru-
dent spirit and on sound basis, is go
ing to be ruined by fifteen, fourteen, or
even wilvf centsaslould for cottpp.
1t is only such as challenged disaster,
by rash speculation upon an inflated
credit basis, who will suffer it in conse-
quence Of not realizing twenty, or at
least nineteen cents d pound. The rest
will be largely, if not wholly, compen-
stated for the decline by sooner or later
realizing the benefit of cheaper goods
and cheaper labor This class win scar
cely lament catastrophe which prom
ises, in knocking down prices and
egregious expectations, to do away with
the loose kind ofbusiness which subject
ed them, in the labor market and in the
general plantation supply market, I'd
competition with initiating Spectators.
Merchants are wisely refusing further
accommodations to planters of the lat
ter description who have failed to
promptly forward cotton to cover, as
far as possible, past due advances. For
reasons needless to detail, freedmen in
the country will have their pretensions
as plantation laborers greatly lowered,
and their opportunities for continued or
intermittent idleness correspondingly
diminished. These, facts, concurring
with Others, will tell around an i'm
mense circle, in favor of cotton produc-
ton, the present year, as, after all, the
most promising line of industry which
intelligent and legitimate agricultural
enterprise can take hold of in those re-
gions of the South most adapted of all
on the globe to the successful growth of
cotton. This sort of enterprise, adj
dressed to such staple, depend upon
it, will never be overwhelmed by over
production-in other words, will never
be ruined by its own efficiency.

DIR, GREELEY'S ADVICE TO A sCIEN-
TIFIC COLORED GENTLEMAN. -

We were sitting with Horace one
afternoon in that little disreputable
sanctum of his adjoining the counting
room of the Tribune. The old gem
tleman was in one of his chronic con-
ditions of grumhle and discomfort
He had that mealy appearance, so
common to him, that made him re-
semble blonde miller fresh from the
dust of his flour mill, and was ex-
psessing his private opinion in public
and somewhat profane. way, when a
colored gentleman was announced.
Let him come in" roared the philos-
opher, and an aged darkey, clad in
broadcloth, gold-rimmed spectacles,
and cane, headed with the same
precious metal, stalked in.
Mister Greeley, believe ?" he in
quirel.
g Yes, I'm Mister Greeley what do
you want ?" was the gruff response.
Well, sah," said old Ebony Specs,
seating himself as he deposited his hat
and cane on the floor-"Well sab, I've
been thinkin' that our race don't pay
enuff attention to scientific pursuits,
sah."
We saw the cloud gather on the in
tellectual countenance of the great
Journalistic Bohemian. 1t broke in
thunder at that point. In a voice
wherein were blended the shrill tones
of a hysterical woman and the growl
of a tiger, he exclaimed

SENATOR NEY,s LAST.

Scene in a far Western State. A
village composed mostly of rude mi.
ming huts called" houses" cottages,
"taverns,"' etc., though really they
were nothing but "shanties." An old
man sick on his bed. A friend, Gov
ernor j. w. Nye, seeing that his end
was close at hand, showed him many
kind attentions, and endeavored to
ease his sufferings in every possible
way. One day when it was quite evil
dent that the poor patient could last
only few hours, the Governor said
to him:
=" Davis, it is undoubtedly best that
you should know the truth; you are a
very sick man, and will, in all proba-
bility, live but short time. Are
your affairs in the condition that you
would wish to have them? I should
be glad to do anysthing for you, you
know"
Yes; they're all right"
Well, would you like me to write
to any of your folks East ?"
No, not now-after it is over"
g Would you like me to call in a
minister?''
The sick man, by great effort of
will over weak and shattered body
drew himself up in bed, SO as to be in
q sitting posture, and sternly, most
( soberly and earnestly said: !" Why,
Governor, what should I want min
lister for? 1teeer Coted anything but

Our readers nay remember the sto-
fy of the soaping" of the signal
horn. The story runs, that when q
certain reyivalist celebrity took up the
horn to summon the worshippers to
services, after dinner, one day, he blew
strong blast of soft soap all over the
astonished brethren. 1t is also said
by the chronicler of this - item that
the brother was so wroth at this joke
that he cried out aloud, Brethren,
have passed through many trials and
tribulations, but nothing like this.
have served in the ministry for thirty
years, and in that time never uttered
a profane word, but I'll be eussed if /
can't whip the man that soaped that
horn"
Well, this is strong story, but we
have, from reliable authority, some
thing little stronger in the sequel to
the same story. This is given TO us
as follows:
Some two days after the horn soap
ing, tall, swarthy, villainous looking
desperate strolled ON the grounds, and
leaned against tree, listening to the
eloquent exhortation to repent, which
was being made by the preacher. Af-
ter while he became interested, final
dHeCltu, 3nu lileH look pOslllOu
on the anxious seat, commenced groan-
ing in the very bitterness of his sor-
row." The clergyman walked down
and endeavored to console him. No
consolation-.he was too great sim
der, he said. Oh, no. there was par
don for the vilest. No, he was too
wieked-there was no mercy for him.
$ Why, what crime have you oom-
mitted ?" said the preaccer, have you
stolen p ~
Oh, worse than that +
What, have you by violence robbed
female innocence of its virtue Z.
Worse than that-oh, worse than
that?' rs
Murder, is it, gasped the Mortified
preacher.
Worse than thatl' groaned the
smitten sinner.
The excited preacher commenced
speeling off his outer garments.
Here, brother Colen shouted he,
hold my coat-Iye found the fellow
that soaped that horn!'
