POLITICAL NOTES.

The Petersburg (Va.) Progress, a Dem
ocratic sheet, thus characterizes the mulish
p~ropensities of little ALEcK:
If the food had occurred in the time
of DIR. Alexander III. Stephens, we verify
believe that during the 80 days rain he
would nave been astride of the ridge-pole
of the Atlanta Sun office. holding a faded
umbrella over his head, drawing up his
diminutive legs to keep them out of the
surrounding surges, and calmly indicting
a ten-column editorial to the people of the
late Confederacy, to prove that the show
er was null and void, and the food a mat
ter to be resisted at the ballot box; and
no doubt people would have been found
in Georgia who would have stigmatized
Noah's as a new departure and nave
hazarded both life and soul on the faded
umbrella and ponderous editorial of poor
little Mr.. Stephens"
Ex-Governor Lowe, of Maryland, is a
rabid rebel. At the breaking out of the
war, when it was thought Jeff's chimera
was no joke, he vas very much so. He
threatened, in public speeches, that if
Maryland remained in the Union, he
would disinter his deceased children and
remove them from her polluted soil. She
did. and he didn't modest the dead. but
has lately announced in favor of the new
departure The bantling still lives.
There are three Republican candidates

CALIFORNIA.

The elections of August and the pres
ent month demonstrate the fact, that in
stead of the Republican party being in a
state of decay, it is rapidly increasing in
numerical strength. The territory of
Montana, rising from the rude wilderness
into q populous and fourishing country
under the magic influence of Republican
thought and sentiment, opened the brilli-
ant series of victory, was answered back
in glad paeans by North Carolina, Con-
necticut and Kentucky, and o Califor-
mia rears her overshadowing form from the
wave of the Pacific and assures the am
bilious aspirant for Statehood that she has
indissolubly linked her destiny with the
loyal States of the Union. She has en-
phasized this pledge with q majority of
from four to six thousand votes.
The recent elections throughout the
country will have a decided effect upon
those Immediately pending and will, more
or less, determine the Presidential contest
of '72. Never before were the auspices of
the Republican party more brilliant, its
hopes brighter, its ranks frmer, drawer
and more determined. Should it fail in
the great national battle, the defeat will
arise from internal connections, factional
Or the incompetency or nwo
thiness of leadership. We apprehend no
such disastrous contingencies, but q tri-
that will be as glorious in r~ealiza-
ton as II Is rich in PROMISES

Wool Growing in East Tenn. No 8.

Messrs. Editors:-There is no one in
this country with whom l am acquainted,
that has made any efforts to test its capa-
bilities for the production of wool as a
staple article. But the policy has been
such as to greatly discourage it, and Gre
ate a prejudice (often found in the gross
est error which will be very difficult to
overcome. Yet there are facts which
when critically examined will demon
strate and make it palpably plain that this
is pre-emiently suited to wool growing
and peculiarly fitted for the fine wooded
sheep. Some of the facts to which I al
lude are these:
LIST. That we have a breed known as
the native, which have existed from the
beginning of the settlement of the
try. The fact that they do exist without
any attention having been given to them
frequently bred in and in for several gen.
erations, without any care in feeding or
grazing, with no shelter in winter or
shade in summer, are conditions under
which no other domestic animal ever has
or can exist in this country. They have
taken their chance too of being devoured
by the merciless and unprincipled dog
and yet furnishing a place with which
the denizens of the soil are clothed, of
which they (as they should be- are proud.
Diseases of sheep in this country are very
few or none at all except such as are
brought about by unnecessary exposure
to the chilling storms of winter or the
scorching sun of summer. Exposure to
cold soon after shearing, confinement to
close stables where the air becomes great
ly vitiated often proves fatal to nearly
whole locks.
What is commonly known as Rot or
in this country is nothing more
than Catarrh or cold affecting the lungs or
the ~secretory CLANS of the nose. But this
more easily prevented than cured if
sheep were bred for constitutional vigor
and have shelter in winter in open dry
sheds with plenty of shade in sumner
There would be but little complaint of
diseased sheep. Attend to these condi-
tons and you may have as healthy sheep
wool growing will be as interesting
as profitable upon the farm as in the
more mountainous or wilder portions of
the country. w. TYLER.

A Big Hog Story-Pork on the
Rise.

Isay Jim, you know that COMPOUNDED
hog of mine. that has caused me and all
the neighborhood more trouble than the
rebellion %
"Well, Tom, I should think l had good
reason not to forget him. since the time
he went through my corL crib, like water
through a ~seive."
81 sold that hog to day."
"Who on earth wanted him, Tom he
wasn't no earthly account, for he belongs
to the racer breed, and all the corn in Hi
nois won't fat him."
well, you see, Jim, a Teller comes
along to-day. and says he to me: Stranger,
want to part with that porker? Says I to
him Mister, I've raised that hog from a
little pig, and got sort tached to him like,
and don't knows care to sell him. and
all the time l was wishing he would offer
me fifty cents for the cussed varmint,
when he says, look here, stranger, ~rattlers
and black snakes are very powerful plenty
on my ranch, and l think that there hog
is worth Jest ten dollars to me for to clean
EN- out; what do ye say, will you take
the money or keep the pork"
"Jim, compare me to a wood-pecker
going fora June bug, and you can form
some idea of how that hog and ten dollars
changed locations. and you see 1 was try
ing to find some article that l could sell,
to buy the tickets to see old John Robin
sons big Menagerie and Circus, when
along comes that man and buys the worth
less %critter. Well, it's an ill wind that
blows nobody good, and if the snakes had
not been so tarnal thick on that mans
farm, l should have had to have sold
something else to raise the wind, but l am
going with the old and all the
children, sure, for the town will be chock
full of people"
Well, Tom, l was coming to town,
and Martha says Jim, you had better
take some eggs and butter along, for the
children will want to 60 to the Menagerie
and Circus of old John Robinson, for
when he comes with his big show there
will be a sensation and l intend to let
them have a grand holiday and enjoy them
for you know how it is YOURSELF
were once children" AND thus the
old friends parted, to meet at the Mena-
yerie and Circus of old John Robinson,

Case Of ~Infanticide,

Yesterday, Martha Steel, a well known
habitue of the demi-monde, arrived at
police headquarters and made a statement
that she had seen the body of a newly
born infant lying in the thicket beyond
Gray Cemetry. and requested that an off,
Ger should accompany her to the scene.
Officers Cole and Ryan, repaired to the
spot designated, and found a considerable
number of people present, in the l~iveliest
state of excitement. The statement of
Miss Martha was to the effect that while
taking a stroll through the pines, she dis
covered a pile of clothing under a bush,
and proceeding thitber was mortified on
lifting a piece of wearing apparel to find
the
DEAD BODY OF A CHILD,
apparently but a few hours old, with a
cord tied tightly around its neck. She
called to a companion, who told her to
pick it up and take it away. But she was
averse to doing so, and instead went to
the house of a colored woman named Ma
ry Burns, and told her of the fact, and
ran as fast as possible to inform the au-
thorities of the fact, as before stated.
Arriving on the ground, the police
were chagrined to learn that during the
short absence of the messenger from the
spot, a woman had suddenly appeared
and carried the child off.
She, however, had not removed any
thing else, and where the child was lying
were seen a mans shirt and drawers. a
woman's n~ight-gown, of coarse material,
and miscellaneous articles, looking like
the spoils of a drug store. Mr.. Ryan
mounted a horse. started in pursuit, ac-
companied by officer Cole on foot. Three
persons saw the body, who, all testified to
having seen the string around the infants
neck and expressed their belief that it
had been murdered by an unnatural par
ent. The woman who appeared so sud-
denly and mysteriously and made off with
the body was described by the children
as being "good looking with long black
hair" but they had never seen her be-
fore and of course did not know who she
was.
After a long and fatiguing hunt, the
officers were compelled to abandon the
search as fruitless. aad returned to the
city.-KnoEeiUe Chronicle.
