THE JEFF. DAVIS bail bond, and
some other eccentricities of Mr.. Greeley,
constitute the chief elements of his popu-
larity, such as it is, in the South. He has
no other or greater hold upon the people
here. He is accepted not because they
hate Greeley less, but because they dis
trust Grant more. And yet we have grave
doubts whether the Southern people would
not prefer Grant to Greeley, if, by any
political horoscopy, they could forecast the
events of the next two years even. There
are reasons, of most important and para
mount nature, why Virginia should give her
electoral vote this year to the Republican
rather than to the Democratic or any other
party. These reasons we intend to emu
merate in the course of few days, in or
der to open the eyes of our people to the
Importance of certain questions, which,
either from the blindness or stupidity of
our local politicians, are now entirely over
looked.

A PLEA FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN

1t is time we were considering whether
six hours is not too long time to keep
children in confinement and employed at
constant brain-work in our public schools.
Laborers in every branch of industry are
demanding and receiving reduction of the
period of labor, claiming that they need
more time for relaxation and mental i'm
pro yement. Even more SO does the child
need rest and relaxation from its trying
tasks, for we must consider that its system
In building up the body is working harder
than an adults, and is at the same time
weaker, consequently requiring an album
dance of fresh air and exercise. Tho brain
too is weaker in youth, and is always de-
pendent on the vigor of the body for it's ac-
tive, healthy condition. These are facts
beyond dispute; in view Of them, would it
not be wise to diminish the hours of study
and confinement? Could the trustees of
our public schools, with all their strength
and patience, Ibear to sit out a whole
days session of school, in the closer atti-
tude and confinement of these children :?
The teacher does it, but he or she has more
liberty to change position, walk about,
and even to get fresh air than the scholar.
1t is but little easier, however, for the
teacher, as frequent headaches, mental
prostration and dullness will attest. 1t is
the duty of our school trustees to consider
this subject, and to act upon such plan,
after due consideration and investigation,
as is in their judgment best. If an abridg-
ment of the session is considered too great
an innovation, we can at least lengthen the
recess, and class by class, make them more
frequent, and at the same time enable the
teacher to do more thorough work. The
winter is past, and the hot weather of sum-
mer, the hardest time Of the school year, is
now coming on. Do not neglect the child
rem, because they are powerless to demand
their rights. 1t is good thing for us not
to forget when zoe were children, and when
such confinement as is theirs now, was
terribly irksome 10 us.

THE threat of the New York Tribune to
give its support to the Grant ticket, for
such is the purport of its article published
some days ago. unless the Democrats en-
dorse the Cincinnati nominee, and abandon
their own organization, will not be very
likely to harmonize the action of the Balti-
more Convention. 1t was dangerous
threat to make, for it puts the Democrats
on their "dander," and that is a weak
point with them. eff you don't fight for
me, will strike hands with the enemy,
and thrash you," is inviting small enthusi-
asm from neutral spectators.

BEN. WOOD, the eminent Reformer,
held mass meeting Tuesday night in
Cooper Institute, and pledged the National
Democracy to support Horace Greeley, late
chairman of the New York Republican
Central Committee, now sorchead candi-
date, for the Presidency. Grand Sachem
Augustus Schell did not attend the council,
nor any Of his painted and feathered war
riors. They have not smoked the pipe of
peace with the Chappaqua chief yet and,
what is more, their very grum visages indi-
cate that they will not. As between Gree
ley and these surly chiefs, there is no
"talkee turkey" but to the Chappaqua
tribe. f

IL tho soil Is all removed from the
shoulders of the tree the worms will
die. His orchard is planted on choco-
late colored clay, and has been bearing
several years without being troubled with
worms. Col. Curtis stated that Mr.. Saul
had made experiments in this matter of
frost as remedy for the borer. Mr.. Saul
froze them solid, and after thawing they
were as lively as ever. There seems no
doubt that frost is good, by drawing the
borers out and disturbing their work.
Major King says that one good effect of
removing the earth, is the exposure of the
bark, which hardens so as to resist the
borer.
Chalkley Gillingham, president Of the
association, read paper in "The Apple
Orchard" He made clear statement of
the need of discrimination in varieties as to
climate. Northern varieties will ripen
earlier and we should not expect to get
long keeping apples from them in this
climate.
Judge Gray spoke especially of the great
value of the Winesap for Virginia. The
Edwards Early and the June apple were
mentioned among the earliest, nextto them
come the Early Harvest and the Red
Astrocan. The very early and the very
late varieties are the most profitable.
The association adjourned till the 4th Of
June, when the small fruits, Strawberries,
cherries and insects that injure fruits will
be discussed.

INSTEAD of dividing the Republican
party, it is now clear that the result of the
Cincinnati intrigues is to throw the Earring
political elements opposed to General Grant
into greater and more inextricable con-
fusion than ever. The Northern Democracy
will not accept the situation. Two things
prevent it. First, it necessitates dis
abandonment of the Democratic organiza-
ton, and thorough abandonment of its
principles. Second, it forces them to ac-
cept the most obnoxious candidate that
could have been named at Cincinnati. Two
such bitter pills are altogether too much
for one dose.

country -philosophic suggestion, sar-
casm that smiles, not sneers, bright bits of de.
scription, social out-looks-and, enlivening all,
fresh. crisp, yet juicy and delicious humor.
BACKLOG STUDIES have been quickly APP
preciated by the press. The New York Times
says that these sketches, "for light, airy, but
genuine delineations of character, have rarely
been surpassed by any writer of the present
day" The Boston Transcript says that ''ior
delicacy of tonch, quaint sentiment, and quiet
humor, BACKLOG STUDIES are the best of
things in their way The Nation thinks that
BACKLOG STUDIES No. III. ''renews and
increases the evidence given in his previous pei
formances that We have in him a humorist of
real merit" Writing of one of these papers,
the NJ Y Mail says it is the 'best thing he has
written, and the best thing in its way any
American or English magazine has had for many
a day." and the Boston Commercial Bulletin
says: BACKLOG STUDIES constitute de-
cided hit In magazine literature" Another of
these delightful papers will appear In the April
number of SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, which

ers. VI year, 50 cents number. ~

The New York World sees no rainbow
of promise in the Cincinnati ticket, and
thinks that the most hopeful Democrats
will find it delusion and q snare before
even another month shall pass over their
deluded heads. In speaking of the Gree
ley ticket, and the fattering prospects it
opens up to the Democratic party, it com.
pares the bucolic candidate to the happy
rustic maiden of whom we have all read
aforetime. 1t says:
"These hopeful Democrats who are SO
fast to unfurl the Greeley flag, recall the
instructive fable of the maid and her milk
pail, told and pictorially embelIished in
Noah Webster's spelling book, from which
Mr.. Greeley, like the other New Hampshire
four-year-olds of his day, learned their
first rudiments. The rural maid aforesaid
was trudging to market with her well-fiiled
milk-pail on her head, and, in the dewy
freshness of the morning, she gave loose
rein to her projecting fancy. 'The money
for which | shall sell this milk
thought she, will buy two dozen of eggs.
From these eggs will be Matched four-and-
twenty chickens. which, when grown, will
sell for enough to purchase charming silk
gown. What color shall it be /? Green
yes, green becomes my complexion, and
green it shall be- Then, thinking of the
lovely figure she would make in the eyes of
the rural beaux, she gave proud toss of
the head, and down came the milk-pail,
streaming contents and all, and the thirsty
earth drank up all her ambitious fancies.
We warn our imaginative Democrats against
similar dashing of their expectations by
a fall of the Cincinnati milk-pail and a
spiling of its contents" 81 r.,.. b.

The last report from New York is that
Horace Greeley is to be allowed to make
just "one speech" when his supporters
get sufficiently organized to get together in
body and call upon him. After that he
is to be put under guardianship, a select
number of his friends being selected to
watch over him constantly, and prevent
him if possible from making any serious
blunders or false steps.

GREELEY is not strong with the Ger
mans of the North and West, who are for
the most part inveterate free traders.
Schurz did his utmost to defeat his nomi-
nation, and the tame speech which he made
after the ticket was adopted, shows that
he has no enthusiasm to be awakened over
Greeley.
