Spesisl to the Appeal
HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss, May 25.-
The Democratic Convention met here
to-day, agreeable to previous announce
ment, and was organized aud proceeded
to the business in hand in the most
harmonious manner.
The delegations were composed o.
the most prominent men of tbs
county, and the meeting was large
Iy attended. Much interest was mani,
tested as to the probable influence:
that would be brought to bear upoI
the Baltimore Convention, and Mar
shall county is a unit against that
body putting a candidate in the field,
believing that it would only strengthen
the enemies of the great Reform move
ment now so happily inaugurated by
the action of the Cincinnati Conven-
tion, and therefore resolutions were
unanimously adopted directing the dele
gates to oppose any nomination at Bal
more.
The deliberations of the convention
were harmonious, and every one seemed
delighted with the prospect OF redeem
ing the country from the grasp of the
reigning dynasty.

Il
Grant Is distasteful TO them on many
accounts, and Greeley, if possible, is
still more obnoxious. Ths German press
! is more than ten to one agAinst them.
! The meddlesome advocate Of suInpspaTy
laws will naturally receive but little sup
port from people whose mode Of life
he has always denounced. With MIR.
Greeley's ideas OF the powers of the
Federal Government over the local af-
fairs of the people, he might, with con-
sistency, seek to regulate their domestic
habits by proclamation in the event OF
his election. A people who have cross
ed the ocean 10 find a land of freedom,
desire no such executive ruler. They
also desire freedom for
TRADE AND COMMERCE,
as well as for themselves. Third-There
Is very large and respectable party in
this country known as Labor Reformers.
They are more numerous than a super
fetal observer would suppose, and de-
voted to the relief of labor against the
constant oppression to which it is sub
jected. This party is the ayowed cham
pion of those who are so much neglected
in legislation, and who are yet so pow
erful at the polls-the workingmen of
the nation. Their mission is a noble
one, and has power in it. FOurth-The
masses of the Democratic party are
three million strong. There is not
one in hundred for Mr.. Greeley and
none for Grant. They want an honest
and upright man with whom they can
substantially agree as a candidate, and
then they will move as an organized
army, deserving success and securing it

A huge flagstaff on the Neil House, in

taking the whole population at seventy
millions, there is one exile for every two
hundred Russians.

Kingdom of Soudan might be con-
structed across the desert from port to
be established on the site of ancient Car
thage.

confronting each other, there are ele-
ments in existence opposed to both, and
more numerous than the followers OF
either. They may be enumerated in
four classes: First, the genuine and sim
cere revenue reformeTs heretofore acting
with the Republican party. This class
embraces many distinguished and able
men, who are sincerely attached to a
revenue tariff, equal taxation, and other
needful financial reformations. They
do not see that the election of either
Grant or Greeley viii bring about these
salutary changes, and in this opinion
they are largely supported by those with
whom they have heretofore acted.

DR.. Shaw states that the diamonds of
South Africa originally belonged to
some metaphoric rock, probably q tai
cose slate, which occupied the heights
during the -upheaval of the trap which
has given to the country its physical
features. This upheaval was followed
by a period OF lakes, the traces Of which
still exist, and it is in the soil OF these
dried up lakes that the diamonds are
found. Prof. T. R. Jones. on the con-
trary, thinks that the diamonds are sup.
piled by both metamorphic and igneous
rocks, and that the gravel in which
they are found has been conveyed by
glacial action from very remote noun
tains.

In Saxony the children of the lower
classes are compelled by law to attend
the evening schools for three years du-
ring the time they are apprentlced to a

Of the educational movement, promises
still to hold her place.
Through the agency Of the Iron and
Steel Institute OF Great Britain, impor-
tant improvements in pudding by ma
chinery are to be introduced, and the
iron manufacture relieved from the uu-
certainties of the present system Of hand
pudding. This desirable result is en-
tirely owing to the efforts of the society
in question, and is an illustration Of the
great advantages resulting from united
action among manufactures.
The Geological Station soon to be
established at Naples, is to be placed
about 100 feet from the Mediterranean
Sea and furnished with great tanks,
through which continuous stream Of
sea water is to pass. In these acquarla
various creatures from the adjoining
waters are to be placed, and their repro
duction and development studied by
competent observers. Geological and
physiological Laboratories and accom-
modations for the officers are also to be
furnished, and every facility for the
study of embryology. The important
results to be obtained from the syste-
matte, careful investigation OF such
phenomena cannot be overestimated,
and it is to be hoped that we may before
long record the establishment Of similar
stations in our own country.-Scritner' S
