Erents of March the FOnrh.

The 18th Of March is an eyentful day in
history. lt is the anniversary Of the mar
tyrdOm OF ST. Lucius in the year 253. Don
Pedro, Of Portugal, was born March 4,
1884. Lord Chancellor Somers, Of Eng
land, was born on this day ia 1862. Sa-
ladin, the great Saracenic warrior, who
overthrow the short-liyed Latin Kingdom
of Jerusalem, and successfully bore the
brunt Of the third crusade, died March 4,
ll93. Bernard Gilpin, the "GOod," the
Apostle Of the North as'he was styled, Of
WestmOreland, England, died on this day
in 1888, as did also Thomas Hickman, the
renowned Gothic Architect, of the Middle
Ages. Many other interesting events
might be enumerated as having occurred
on this day. The 4th Of March is chiefly
interesting to Americans as having been
the inauguration day Of our Presidents
from the formation of the Government to
the present time. We have seen it some.
where stated that the 4th of March is the
only day in the 365 of the years ending
with the odd numbers /, 8, 5, Z, and O.,
lin which years iuauguratiOns always take
place) oil which Sunday comes but once
in a hundred years, and that for this rea-
son it was selected us the day for our Pres
idential inaugurations. Washington was
inauguratcd April 80, 1889, but during
the first administration the 4th of March
was designated as the time, and all of our
subsequent Presidents were i~nauguratcd
on that day. Since the formation of the
government there have been fifteen regu-
larry elected Presidents, all of whom, with
the exception mentioned, were inaugurated
on the 18th Of March There have, how
ever, been with the present, twenty Presi-
Dental terms since 1850. Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, Jackson and Lincoln
having each been twice elected to that re.
sponsible and elevated position, Three Of
the Presidents inaugurated on this day,
(the latter being kiIled) before the close
Of their administrations. But three of
the Vice Presidents ever became Prcsi-
dents by election these were John Ad-
ans, Thomas Jefferson and Martin Van
Buren,. So much for the 4th of March.

As Senator Sumner was emerging from
the capitol the other morning ho was con
fronted by an aged Fifteenth Amendment
who, hat in hand and bowling and scraping,
remarked

This nearly squelched the old darky,
but he rallied with the remark-"You's
done a heap for de culler'd race"

spcnded the magnificent Charles.
"Dc niggers all speak of you in de high

Sumner bowed and smiled his acknowl-
edgements.
"What was coming at Bos, dat de win
ter's bard and de times pretty rough to de
old woman aud |, and if you could spare

Sumner stepped no further, but with a
majestic wave of disapproval from the
Senatorial hand he moved on while the
venerable colored brother muttcred some
thing about "don't appear to kcer much
for de niggers, 'ccpt to vote and git der
names up" Just then Hon. Sam Cox
came along and gave the poor old darkey
a dollar. Cox Is a copperhead.

The True Friends of the South.

One of oUr exchanges of q recent date
says that there is a disposition among
many Conservative Journals in the State
to quabble over political tcchnicalities.
Nice distinctions are drawn between the
terms Democrat and Conservative"
and issues MT revived that have no real
connection with the present. The ten
dcncy Of this petty warfare between men
whom Il common bond Of sympathy and
suffering should unite, is to retard, rath-
er than promote the true interests of the
South whose livery they wear. The fu-
ture of the South does not depend upon
political partics-it rests upon the indus
try Of its people. The farmer who de-
votes his whole time to tho improvement
Of his lands and the increase ofhis crops ;
the mechanic who contributes the labor
Of his hands, and the merchant who do
mates the profits of his trade to the gen
oral cause OF improvement, are destined
to be the real architects of the South's
Politicians who divert the minds of our
people from their farms, their workshops
and counting rooms, under the guise Of
patriotism and in the character of alarm
lists, are the enemies whom the Southern
press should fight.
Rational public sentiment, influenced
by commercial and agricultural inter
course between the sections, will sooner
OF later work out the South's doliverance.
Stump speeches, inhammatory harangues
and newspaper rhodomontade will ac-
complish nothing. Sectional wealth and
prosperity, (if we are to draw sectional
lines,) will accomplish more than Sec
tional prejudice and poverty. The
ploughshare and pruning hook, the loom,
the mill and the mandatory, the hustle
of trade and the sails of commerce are
the trustworthy agents of our deliver
nee. .t

Paris.

The German troops have al left Paris.
The evacuation terminated at IL o'clock
last Friday morning, in accordance with
the terms Of convention.
The evacuation begun in regular or
der, the calvary and artillery being in
advance. The Prussian and Bavarian
infantry faced the roadway at $3.50. The
first men of the main body passed
through The Arc de Triomphe with
bands playing and colors flying right
straight under the Arc, the distractions
having been removed. At the side OF
the column, Gen. Latackeyre command
ing, the Eleventh corps was stationed
and received the salutes of the men in
passing. Many wore cvergrcenso on their
helmets and one regiment laurels. At
9 O'Clock the Bayarians, AZ tillery and in
fantry, with full band arrived. A few
minutes afterwards the head OF the Prus-
sian column reached the Arch marching
in column by sections. The sun burst
out ~gloriously making every thing appear
grand. The troops checred loudly and
the tattcrod appearance Of their %colors,
borne proudly, attracted the attention Of
the French. Next CANT the crown
Princes aud some dragons, the 18th
regiment Of Jagers, the Guard, and the
Plussian artillery.

A Fine Old Man.

The following description OF ga fine old
man is by Mark Twain:
John Wagner, the Oldest mani in Buffalo

walked a mile aud a half in two weeks.
He is as cheerful aud bright as any Of the
old men that charge around so in the
newspapers, and in every way as remark
able. last November be walked five
blocks in a rain storm, without any shelter
but an old umbrella, aud cast his vote for
Grant, remarking that he voted for forty
seven Presidents-whieh was not strictly
correct. His second crop Of rich brown
hair arrived from New York yesterday,
aud he has a new set Of teeth coming
from Philadelphia. lie is to be married
next week to a girl one hundred and two
years old, WHO still takes in washing.
They have been engaged eighty years, but
their parents pcrsistently refused their
consent until three days ago. John Wag-
ner is two years older than the Rhode Is
land veteran, and has never tasted a drop
of liquor in his life, unless you count
whisky.

How She Settled If.

An American Captain had as passen-
ger on board his ship n very beautiful
young lady, with whom in the course of
a very short voyage, five young gentle
men, also passengers, fell desperately in
love. She, liking all the young gentle
men, and liking them all equally well,
felt herself placed int position OF some
difficulty, and in the emergency applied
to the Captain for advice. He, being n
man OF IN original turn of mind, sug-
gested that she should jump overheard
Che taking care to have u well-manned
boat alongside to prevent the possible
ity Of the farce turning into tragedy
and that she should accept the man who
Jumped into the sea- after her. The lady
liked the notion, and one fine morning,
when her five admirers were all upon
deck, went over the side hcad-foremost.
-Four Of the five Immediately followed
her lead. There said the puzzled damsel
to the Captain 4:
"What am l to do now? See how
wet they all are"
"Do9 !" replied tho Captain "why take
the dry one"
Which she did-and it is to be hoped
lived happy ever aitcrwmd,

slderation OF the Alabama claims by the

deed this bill with the Canadian fishing

How many ounces in n pound, used
to be n very simple question III mathe-
MATES, and years ago could have been
promptly and accurately answered. But
nowadays the probability is That il a
pound OF sugar were purchased at every
corner grocery in u given district and
taken to the standard scales III the Office
Of the inspector Of weightsa and measures,
it would be discovered that no two pack
ages would balance each other, andnone
Of them would bring up the standard
pound weight. The poor, who are obi
9ed to purchase in small quantiie and
pay the highest price for everything, are
thus systematically swindled out OF Il
portion of every thing tn = buy, and
corner grocers wax fat aud L,ngh. Is it
not about time that n general inspection,
with the penalty OF forfeiture of the I'M
just balances, was entered upon?

DoNN PIATT writes about an auction
of the contents OF dead letters "As the
rude auctioneere hid each article in the
dim light, and coarsely cried it off, /
could not help to think of the fingers
that had worked, and the heart that had
throbbed over the token OF affection, and
remembered that it had failed of its des-
%tination, and was being sold for filthy
lucre to this motley crowd. Two-thirds
of these evidences of remembering love
came from women. The fact is, during
my stay, Ibid not see one that could pos
itivoly be ascribed to a man. TO q wo,
mans busy fingers, and to a woman's
heart, could the work be attributed, and
also to a woman's ignorance, or careless
ness, probably, i'll addressing, is due the
fact that the work miscarried."

King Cotton.

The New York Worlds financial arti-
Gle OF Friday last notices that the Bank
of England has advanced tue rate OF
discount per cent, and says the cotton
markets are in a state of decentralization
bordering ON a panic. The advance in
the rate of discount is a precautionary
measure in the event of sudden and
great Withdrawals of money from the
London market, where it has been de-
posted for safety by persons ON the con-
tinent of Europe during the war. The
decline in price and the tendency to
panic in the cotton markets in Liver
pool and New York, is caused by a no
tiication that loans must DO returned by
spectators who are overloaded with cot
ton. 1t is stated that the Greek mer-
chants in Europe are carrying a very
heavy load of cotton, and no doubt they
will be forced TO sell and realize from
the action OF the Bank. The writer con-
tinues that the power of the Bank of
England to crush the most gigantic
speculations has been freqently illus
trated in the past, and cites how the
Bank crushed the Greek speculation in
grain not many years ago, and the tinon-
cial crisis and panic which resulted
therefrom.
No doubt the Bank Of England has
commenced the policy of contraction in
its accommodations to all foreign firms
and spectators who are likely to weak
en- its reserve Of coin, and there was a
more active demand for foreign bills OF
exchange in the New York market yes
terday owing to kilograms from firms in
Europe to their correspondents here for
Remittance to strengthen themselves
against the eventuality of q decline in
the price of cotton. Within the last
twenty-four hours there has beon about
nine millions of dollars loss on the entire
cotton crop of the South.

ryship with stones and so fierce was the
attack that one Of the party was serious

ture, and being pelted with stones by
heather Chinese must have filled him

A STRONG resolution has been adopted
by the Senate of Pennsylvania, protest
ing against the act recently passed by
Congress in relation to elections i'll the
several States OF the Union. 1t is de-
clared to be II direct attack upon the re-
served rights OF the State of Pennsylva-
mia, III violation ofthe fundamental prin-
ciples Of civil government, o%jious, I'M
necessary and oppressive, and hence
should be wiped from the statue books
OF the nation. This is true Democratic
ground, and the Philadelphia Age says
it WI be endorsedby thepeople of Penn
sylyania. That State has 10 wish or
desire to become II mere bob-tail to the
Federal kite, and those who put her in
that position will be ropudiated at the
polls Of the next election.

A DECISION was rendered some time
since in Cincinnati, that a wife has n
vested right in her husbands society and
companionship, and can obtain damages
for the loss thereof. The court ruled
that, though the action would not lie
against her husband, her right of action
against those who enticed him away
and harbored him was indisputable.
This important intelligence may well be
borne in mind, and ladies govern them
selves accordingly.

py old man, deserted by his wife, child
less, sinking every day in the public os-
