Thus we see that the Democratic pre- ponderance through city representation would be diminished rather than 1nereas- ed by reform accompanied by minority representation. When we take into &C., count the further fact that the Republi- can party in both Senate and House is now deprived of it's natural leaders by the practical misrepresentation of it's city vote and we have an additional gain not calculable in numbers. The social obiec- ton is obviated almost to an equal extent with the political. Intelligent tax paying minorities can elect their representatives as well es political minorities, and sys- tenn that allows ignorance to repre- sent itself only deprives it of nearly all it's present political strength.
 Our reply to Mir. Anketell, and to other city friends of reform, therefore, is simply this: Make your reform movement broad enough to right the wrongs of the mis- represented country and city minorities as we'll as of the nor-represented city major isies and it will soon become irresistible

 The result thus arrived at is almost ex- actly what the total majorities on the State ticket would have required. Eng lish's majority in 1870 woula have brought 8 majority of two; Jewell's majority of less than 100 in Fl would have oecasioned 8 tie, and the large maiorities of last spring would have been trife over-represented by six Republican majority in the House.
 In the foregoing scheme we do not as- sume representation on the basis of pop ulation because it is necessary to the sys- tenn of minority voting, but simply with a view of illustrating the accuracy with which that plan does its work of furnish ing e just and equal representation.

The governorship issue is waxing warm. The Courant is out for Henry P. Haven and against any New Haven man. It re- fers feelingly to last summers senatorial controversy. Unquestionably the Ferry bolt was most dagrant breach of party discipline; but can the Republican party of the State afford to attempt that, indi- rectly, which the national administration is afraid to do directly. If New Haven deserves punishment, the men to suffer are Messrs. Sperry and Northrop who hold fat offices under government and who were also the chief leaders of the anti Hawley crusade, and not Mir. Harrison who had nothing to do with it. When Gen. Grant can by word decapitate the right men, and thinks he cannot afford to do it. we are sure the Republican party of Connecticut cannot afford to punish the wrong man.

VINELAND, N. J., Jan. 9th, 1873.


 A friend wrote me few days ago, ~ ou have now wintered and summered in Vineland, what do you think of it for 6 residence? The winters are mild, but is it not very hot in summer?"
 I Ireplied to him in substance what now write to the Enquirer. There are a few weeks of hot weather here, during 8 part of July and August, but rarely a day, in which We do not have a fine breeze from the ocean or bay. distant twenty and thirty miles, respectively; while the nights are almost invaribly cool.
 I was in Litchfeld Go. in the month of July last, when the range of the thermom- eter was as high, even in Goshen, as it was here. Mir. A. said to me that he did not suffer from the heat any more in Vine land, than he did formerly in Wolcottville. On the other hand, with rare exceptions, the winters are mild and temperate, and outdoor work, such as ploughing, prun- ing, and clearing up generally, can be done every month.
 We did not escape, however, the severe storm which swept over the whole coun- try on the 26th ut. and for a week the ground has been covered with snow to the depth of six inches. So rare is such an experience that we hardly knew what to do with it. The trains from Philadelphia were detained several hours, and from New York twenty-four, simply for the want of snow ploughs, or other arrange ment for clearing the track. Those who desired the luxury of sleigh-ride fitted up dry-goods, or other boxes for the pur- pose or substituted short plank runners in place of the wheels, on the axles of their buggies. having an outside block for the hub, against which to screw up the nut. But this is all past, and we have now genuine New England s'slush.
 Is Vinelan1 particularly healthy re- zion? It is so regarded by those who have resided here for any considerable length of time, and by the physicians oi the place.

A Lovers Fate.


The Boston Traveller says that "a young
man in one of the suburban towns in
this vicinity. as is the custom in that
village, called for her sweetheart on
Sunday evening, and the cooling couple
went out for a walk. Particular in
structions were given the miss, by her
parents, TO return early, "By ten
o'clock, sure" being the parting in
junction. Alas (and alad) I" the mid
night hour when, etc, came before the
twain returned home. The parents had
grown exasperated by waiting two
hours for their daughters return, and
when the lovers did enter the gate, by
a circuitous movement and by divi-
sion of forces, they were enabled to bar
the young Romeo's exit. Ater the GUS
tomary adieus, the young man stepped
briskly forth and found himself in the
brawny arms of pater-familias, who
seized him by the throat with one hand,
and held a rope in the other, which he
intended to swing him up in a cherry
tree. The young man squirmed and
beloved, and the young girl, hearing
the noise, ran down stairs. On reach
ing the landing, she exclaimed, Fa-
er, don't hang him tonight ! " The
stern parient, who wears boot about
half-past nine in size, hesitated a
moment, then turned the young man
round and administered n kick that sent
the lover spinning down the lane dou-
bic quick The young man is better
now, and can't spark worth cent.

How the Apaches Pop the Question.

Even those ecopper-coloredc cut-throats,
the Apache Indians, have a touch of
delicacy and romance in them. From a
lecture delivered San francisco by
Col. John G. Carmony, we take the fol-
lowing account of their courting GUS
toms Every young girl is at liberty to
refuse a sutton fOr her hand. Tie
father, mother and brother are prohibi-
ted from interfering in her choice. Her
person is at her own disposal. After q
brief courtship the lover makes form
al proposal by offering so many horses.
Horses are a standard of value among
the Indians. AS the squaw does all the
work, horses are accepted as an equiva-
lent for her labor. When young war
rior becomes enamored, he fastens his
horse near the wigwam of the squaw
whose hand he seeks, where he is left
four days. If she fails to feed and
water the horse during that time, the
master is rejected; but if she accepts
his offer she grooms and kindly cares
for the horse, and then ties him to the
wigwam of her lover, as much as to say,
81 am willing to be your slave and do
your work. At the marriage the sages
and sachems meet together, and the
bride is not unfrequently loaded with
forty to fifty pounds of silver and cop
per trinklets.

The Afriean Diamond Diggings.

The condition of things at the South
African diamond fields is very similar 20
that of the old placer mining days in
California. The commonest necessaries
of life are sold at the most exhorbitant
prices. New Rush, town of canvas
tents and shanties, inhabited by mot
ley collection of old Dutch settlers, or
Beers, as they are called, immigrants of
every European nationality, Kaffirs and
Chinese coolies, has already got y news
paper, the Grinqualand Gazette, which
furnishes the following list of correct
prices A single plank sells at from
three to five dollars, and joist at from
five to seven dollars, and fre-wood at
thirty-five dollars load The cost of
other things are almost equally high.
Lime sells for three dollars a bushel,
salt for ten dollars a bag, cabbages
from half dollar to a dollar and a
half piece, sucking pigs from five to
seven dollars each, ducks two dollars
pair, eggs a dollar a dozen. Beef is
comparatively cheap, as good oxen can
be bought for forty-fve dollars. But
the people are not without their plea
sures. They have Masonic lodge and
circus. They hunt the springbok.
They have coursing matches with dogs
for silver cups entries for dogs ten
dollars, and an auctioneer has actually
been instructed to sell "a full tri-chord
piano, as good as new" and "Christy's
minstrels" give notice that they will APP
pear " at Adumantia circus" and Mr..
Leslie has had benefit given him at
Mutual hall, and there is an iron boat
for pleasure parties on Dutoitspan lake.
Finally, in the matter of education, boys
under twelve years of age viii be
boarded and taught at the Kip Drift
grammar school for the sum of twohun-
dred dollars per annum.

A Life Miracle.

! A Mrs. King had surprise at Shaw
neetown the other day. It was an acci-
dent that Mrs. King happened to be at
Shawneetown. She did not intend to
go there, but the steamboat Jennie
Howell, on which she was travelling,
struck a snag and sunk in the Ohio
river. Several of the passengers were
drowned, and among them some chill
dren. Mrs. King had child on board
whom she moUrned as lost, and was
taken to Shawneetown without her
babe. The Jennie Howell sunk deep
in the water, and the next morning men
went to the vessel to recover the bodies
of the lost. Soon after daylight mat
tress was discovered floating in the
cabin, which was filed with water near
ly to the ceiling. Upon examination a
child, little boy, was discovered on the
mattress sleeping as peacefully as if
nothing unusual had happened. His
bed was not very dry, for it had sunk
good deal from soaking but still sus-
tanned its living freight. In due time
the child was sent to Shawneetown,
where the other passengers had been
landed the evening before. Its coming
made an excitemenS among the wrecked
travellers, for more than one mother had
lost children by the disaster. It was
touching scene when Mrs. King recog-
nized the child as her boy whom she
had mourned as lost for nearly twenty
four hours. The preservation of Moses
in the bulrushes was not so miraculous
as the safety of Mrs. Kings boy. He had
been tossing about the waste of waters
in the cabin all night, and was brought
to his mother alive in the hour of her
deepest woe.

The Moa.

II appears that the moa, the name
given by the New Zealanders to the
large wingless birds whose bones are
occasionally found in swamps, forests,
and other out-of-the-way places in that
country, is not yet extinct, as has been
generally supposed. 1t is stated, ae-
cording to the Melbourne Argus, that
very large bird, much larger than any
emu, exists in the back portion Of a run
In the Waiu district, on the west side Of
the Waiu, and adjoining the large bush
which stretches TO the west coast of
New Zealand. It's tracks and footsteps
have been repeatedly seen, and on a
recent occasion a shepherd started the
bird itself out Of a patch of mannka
scrub with his sheep dog. The bird
ran from the dog until it reached the
brow Of a terrace above him, and some
thirty OF forty yards OF, when it turned
on the dog, who Immediately and wise
IL returned as fast as he could 10 the
shepherds heel. The moa stood for
fully ten minutes on the brow Of the
terrace, bending its long neck up and
down exactly as the black swan does
when disturbed. It is described as
being very much higher than any emu
ever seen in Australia, and as standing
very much more erect on its legs. The
color Of its feathers is 3 sort of siiyery
gray, with greenish streaks through il.
II this story is true, it destroys the
notion which has hitherto prevailed.
that no large moas have been seen
alive since about 1880
