SOUTH ARABIA.-The well known traveller
and arch8olOgist Won Nathan, who has Just
returned from journey to South Arabia seems
to have been very successful in his inyestiga-
tons regarding tract of country which still
belongs, to Il certain extent, to those mysterious
regions of geography, viz, the part OF Arabia
situated between the strait Of Babelmandeb
and the southern Hadramaut. Nathan, taking
Alden as point Pqpput, prepared himself, dur
ing prOtracted stay there, and by excursions,
both into the immediate neighborhood and to
the two nearest sultan's dominons, for a Jour-
nev to the more remote interior. But unfOre-
seen obstacles preventing bis carrying out this
plan he nevertheless continued his studies and
Investigations in Alden ITSELF by means of care
full and systematic inquiries made Of the natives
of these remote parts who happened to come
within his reach. AT first he had to fight against
many difficulties, the greatest of which was the
distrust of the natives, who were not at first to
be induced by anything 10 open their lips on
the subject of their country. In these straits
the governor of Alden came to his aid. Taking
q warm interest in the travellers objects, he ar
ranged that all the inhabitants of the interior
who had to present themselves before the police
account Of all he was anxious to learn from
them. This rather high handed measure proved
extremely useful. Nathan in this manner
made the acquaintance Of more than hundred
Arabs from the different regions of the south,
every one of whom almost was able to give him
some useful bit Of geographical information.
Among them there were people ofall stations from
the petty sultan and tribal chief TO the common
BedOuin and the indicator seized by the Alden
police. 1t is hardly surprising ii ap-
pears so at first sight-that these should have
yielded more information. This brotherhood
travels far and wide, and sees many mems cities
by reasons Of their trade.

EARL DUDLEY AND THE CHoLERA-The
London correspondent of the New York Times
says:
The castle, cavern and town of Dudley, and
a great territory of coal and iron works, be-
long to Earl Dudley, and yield him a more
than princely revenue. The sanitary investi-
cations making everywhere in England TO
prepare for the expected cholera show the way
in which the people live who earn the noble
earps income. DIR. Thone, one of the medical
inspectors to the privy council, has been to
Dudley. He found town covered and almost
concealed by black clouds of smoke; in a cOun-
try covered with cinders and the debris of mines
and furnaces; the houses and other buildings
cracked, broken and in ruins; the open spaces
dotted with stagnant pools; the canals and
wafer courses polluted; the streets undrained;
everywhere filth and putreScence; nowhere
light, or purity, or cleanliness; neither pure air
to breathe, nor wholesome water to drink, nor
cheerful prospect to see In this hideous, pes
tiferous place DR.. Thornc found crowded dwell
ing S,open cess-rools, houses and yards full Of
horrible odOrs One house was visited in which
six cases of typhus had occurred. There were
two filthy bed rooms, in one of which ten
persons slept on three separate heaps of shaw
ings, each person having less than ninety
cubic feet of air, and this must have been well
saturated with the carnations from heap
of about three hundred cubic feet of refuse
and cxcrement, which lay within five feet of
the dwelling. Is it necessary to describe the
physical appearance or moral character of PEG
pie living in such conditions? Tyhpus is cpl
dcmic The rate of infant mortality is double
that of London. Houses were visited in which
every inmate had been down with the typhus.
And this is not the first time Dudley has been
inspected. In 1852 government inspector re-
ported: 81 am acquainted with no parallel to
the case Of Dudley, where, in population of be-
tween thirty thousand and forty thousand per-
sons, seYen-tenths of the deaths for the last ten
years have been in persons under the age of TWEEN
ty years." This is not so sensational as railway
accident but is it not really more dreadful?
Lord Dudley is very rich. He owns her maies-
tvs theater in London, and has kept it closed
for years because no one will give him the rent
be asks for il. He can give his ten or twenty
Thousand pounds for any religious or charitable
object he may fancy. lie thinks musical festi-
walls desecrate cathedrals, but he does not think
of the horrible dissertation of humanity going on
among the people whose tolls brings him his
revenue. And Dudley is one of perhaps hun
dred such towns in mid England, compared to
which the rudesi portions Of this rough Wales
are paradise of beauty. Portions of South
Wales, it must be allowed, are as black, and
smoky and ugly as any black country in Eng
land, and should expect town like Swansea,
when the air is thick with the fumes Of sulphur,
copper and tin to be as unhealthy as it is ugly
and disagreeable.

NE SoUTH AFRICAN DIAMOND FrELDs.-A
respondent of the New York World, writing
from a place called Du Tairs Pan, III the
Orange free state, South Africa, July ~ gives n
favorable report of the diamond finding BUSH
ness. He saws: Diamonds are Still trumps,
and since commenced this letter a fifty-four
carat gem was picked up by Dutchman. The
area of the working ground has greatly in
creased, and diamonds are being turned out in
as great quantities as ever. The claims situated
off of the road are so filled up with debris that
it is becoming difficult to work them. Some
plan will have TO be adopted to clear this away
soon or the interior claims will become unwork-
able. n My companions have not turned
out any large ones yet, yet my book shows over
thirty small ones in the last six weeks work.
AT De Beers, two and half miles north of here,
nearly every claim has proved to be rich.
My old partner, Ramshorne, who paid E110
for claim in the centre Of the 'Kapic' has
taken out sXty-two diamonds in four weeks;
among them are 8, II, 16, 10, l. and several A
and 5 carat stones. Almost all of the claims
on DE Beers have turned out large ones, from
10 carats upwards. The fault of the De Beer
diamonds is that they are mostly off color
and ragged shaped. ] saw beautiful 10
carat, diamond-shaped, and glassv-Suriaced
stone of the first water, that would do for set
ting without cutting. 1t is the largest perfectly
pure stone that | have seen in the fields. am
purchasing all these kind of stones that | can
get hold of for America. There are about TWEEN
ty diamond merchants on the field now, and
there is no difficulty in the miners selling
their finds at good price on the fields" Du
Tait's Pan reoces in an American bowling al
lev, which has "a good run of custom" The
market is well supplied by the Dutch farmers of
the vicinity. A New York firm had just put up
a steam engine, which considerably astOnished
the Dutch Doors, who had never seen one before.
1t appears that acknowledging is still mostly
in the hands of indn iduals, and the correspond
ent expresses his surprise that no more organ

not hesitate TO say that in falling to secure TIN
services of Mr.. Aldrich in that office, the stat
loses more than he. His legal studies and r..
tice have given him knowledge, as =
probably as that of any law, " '"'

couol 70 ar, oXigency Which might arise in the
conrse :. an official practice. Mr.. Aldrich, by
b. well known cooperation and sympathy with
all movements and measures to promote tenn
perance, would have commanded in higher de-
gree than the present candidate the confidence
of that influential portion of the party which
lays much stress upon the enforcement OF pro-
hibitory legislation. Mr.. Aldrich's standing in
his profession is so high, 9nd he IS already SO
well known from his legislative and other pubic
service, that the office could not have added ma
terially to his professional or political reputa-
ton.
The platform adopted by the convention is
on the whole sound, comprehensive and judi
cious, although it might very likely have re-
ceived some additions or changes, if there had
been time or thought to spare LOT us uelDer0le
consideration. As it stands, it is even more eX-
clusively than is usual with such platforms, the
work Of the committee and not of the conven-
ton, which hardly gave it a thought. After
the nomination of the candidate for governor,
a large number of the delegates were i'll the
condition OF the member of the turbulent
scientific society upon the Stanislaus, of which
Bret Harte tells, when a specimen of quartz
hurled by an enthusiastic debater, struck him
in the pit of the stomach, and "the subsequent
proceedings interested him no more" Under
the circumstances, knowing that the conven-
ton was in no temper to consider questions Of
policy, it was perhaps well for the committee to
,onfine itself to statements which could not
possibly provoke dissent from any sections of
the party.

MoRCES TER
FRIDAY. SEPT. go. 49,


The Governor Quo+.iOn setie"'
An election canvass unparalleled in the his
torv Of MASSACHUSETTS politics, was brought to a
close Wednesday night, by the triumphant
nomination of Hon. William b. Washburn, for
governor, on the first ballot. This result is
honorable to the republican party and to the
commonwealth. The unusual character of the
canvass is due to the dsorganizing aims and
methods adopted by Gen. Butler in conducting
his campaign for the governorship. Instead of
working with the Massachusetts, republicans in
good faith, and accepting, so far as he desired
it, whatever position his ability and character
might command, he aimed to conquer, trans
form, aud rule the republican party. Instead
of working within the party to reach desirable
ends by honorable means, he stood more out
side the party than within it, assailed
the state government without cause,
appealed to outsiders to aid him, and sought to
be recognized as the political successor of Wen
dell Phillips. OF course, he was unlustly and
unscrupulously aggressive, and made false issues
against the state administration, because his pc
culiar position in The canvass made this neces-
ssry. He can not himself have believed all he
said in his more aggressive moods; and it may
he that he expected all well informed people to
take much of it in ''Pickwickian sense" This
explanation is suggested by the speech, in which
he concluded his canvass by announcing that he
