There il general integrity Of tIiar..
acter in the Creole. In the city Of
his heart--New Orleans-7-he may 90

for which he is continuously reproved
by his r6ghborsj but asa rule, he
may be depended on for the falfll-
ment Of mundane obligations. Hs
lives long. Fair good and vine. oasy
digestion, and a pleasant life, gen!
orally carry him, with but little Incl
dental sickness, past the line Of fvby-
rscore. Thus his death follows
with the natural sequences OF night
to day. A Creole proverb puts
it that at last he dries up and blows
away.
He is hospitable according to his
means, which are usually limited com
pared to those of the American. Hs
is not cosmopolitan, taking little in
terest in anything outside Of his To-
cal affairs; but whenever his mind
moves out Of his home groove, il
travels Franceward, to the cradle
Of his race. 1t is against his nature
to feel that interest in our national
institutions and progress common to
American citizens. National pros
4perity and civilization are words that
fall still born upon his indifferent ear.
That part Of Louisiana inhabited by
his own people alone awakens his in
terests Patriotism for the United
States, as o rule, is dead language
which he does otspeak. To assume
that he does, is an affectation, and he
wisely reffaina.
He is habitually polite, and in
this he is strikingly superior to his
Americah neighbors. To employ .
figure after the fashion Of tho Creole,
rough manner is like raspy, crude
vine, which passes the palate under
a protest and CRATES the throat; q
polished manner is like fine wna,
which is Welcomed, chapeau bas, by
the sentinel OF the stomach, en- sips
down the larynx as smoothly as a
velvet ribbon, comforting honor in its
passage and leaving behind it lin

Sign OF DEATH. Some time ago
the Academy of Sciences in Paris
offered prize of $4,000 for some
simple and positive sign Of death,
which any non-professional person
could understand and apply. Such
test, suggested in Virchow's Archiv,
is, considered very satisfactory by the
British medical press. 1t consists in
tying q string firmly round the
finger of the supposed corpse; if the
blood circuiates in the least-in which
event death has not taken place-the
whole finger will swell and turn
blush red. 1t is conceivable that
such test would be very useful in
cases of drawing and asphyxia. 1t
may be legitimate to cite case which
occurred not long ago at Brussels.
A druken man fell into a canal, and
remained so long immersed that very
little hope was entertained Of his re-
coyery. He was to all appearance
corpse. DIR. Joux, physician to the
police, to whom application is made
in such cases, did not share the CON
viction Of the bystanders, and, hav-
ing used the most energetic means Of
restoration for three hours, ended by
applying a hot iron to the patient,
who instantly moved slightly. The
former measures were reverted to,
and the supposed corpse stood up in
less than b alf an hour, branded
indeed, but none the worse for his ac-
cident.

CmcUMsTANTrAL EVIDENCE. Am Illi-
nois paper tells this; A Peoria boy
in a vigorous chase after rats, recent
ly broke down q shelf in the cellar
and immolated six jars Of preserves.
He gazed on the ruins without O
sigh, caught and killed rat, laid il
among the debris, and daubing his
faithful dogs nose and legs with the
fruit, sent him up stairs, while the
boy hid in the coal shed. He heard
feminine shrieks Of dismay; he heard
the wrathful objurgation Of his sire;
he heard the unsuspecting dog led
into the back yard and shot, and
spreading forth bis hands said
solemnly, "another victim Of circum-
stantial evidence"

EMBARRASSING AFFECTION.

.
A correspondent of the Courier
POrie,a narrates that when Queen
Olga, Of Greece, was passing through
Galatz, Her Majesty was requested
to show herself to the crowd, who
were most anxious to see her. The
young queen complied with the re-
quest, and giving her arm to the
Grand Duke Nicolas. she landed at
the court yard of the Danube steau-
ship company. She had just set her
foot on shore when the courtyard
was invaded by such q crowd Of
enthusiasts that her majesty was
forcibly carried away and pushed By,
the crowd into the principal street u
the town. The crowd continued TO
increase. and the situation became
embarrassing If not dangerous. The
queen, who had been crushed by the
mob, wished to return, but could not
succeed, aud screamed in terror.
The more enthusiastic began to tear
her dress, and carry off bits Of it az
relics, and it is hard to say what sort
of costume would have been left her
majesty if she had not the presence
Of mind to take refuge in a shop, the
door of which was closed. The
police came to the rescue, but at first
their efforts were unsuccessful. IL
was not until they were sufficiently
numerous to keep an open way bs-.
tween the shop and the place Of
embarkation that the queen could re-
turn to the yacht. After her majesty
was on board man was noticed COM
ing toward the yacht, bearing on his
shoulders the Prince Constantine,
the heir to tho throne. The assistance
of the sailors was necessary to rescue
the Prince from the arms Of this
fanatic.

FARMERS AND PoLIrICIANs.

The Farmers War, as it is some
times called, is destined to have a
great political influence. II has
already reused the people from that
indifference to public virtue which we
have looked upon as one Of the most
dangerous symptoms Of the times,
and has taught them that it is more
important to ask about their candi-
dates whether they are honest and
capable, than whether they have the
support Of the regular caucus and
always hurrah for the regular plat
form. The effect Of this will be to
raise the standard of the party nomi-
nations. Neither side can afford to
present acandidate who SO character
will not bear the closest examination.
We are not sanguine enough to pre-
dict that the permanent publication
Of official life will follow; but if we
can only check for little while the
decline Of public morality, if we can
only Danish few Of the venal legis-
lators who buy oficefor the sake Of the
profit they can make by selling them
selves in turn, we shall feel that the
farmers movement has accomplished
q great good for the country at large,
irrespective OF what it may do in the
matter for which it was especially
organized.

JAY COOKE Bo0NOMIzING.

The reduction of his private estab-
lishment, writes Philadelphia cor
respondent, was one Of Jay Cookies
first acts after his disastrous suspen-
sion. He lives in very large and
handsome mansion, which he calls
"Ogontz," at CheltoE Hills, few
miles out of Philadelphia, on the
North Pennsylvania Railroad. His
estate comprises 180 acres, forty Of
which were bought few days prior
to his suspension. I need scarcely
add that the property is very valuable,
the mansion alone being worth at
least 100000 to 81 100000. Mr..
Cooke has now closed up the greater
part Of the house, and occupies only
few rooms. Before his misfortune
he had only five or six domestics, of
whom the greater part are now dis
charged. He had private gas ap-
paratns on the premises, by which
the five hundred burners in the man
sion were supplied; but this Is now
unused, and common lamps have
been brought into requisition. The
large heaters in the cellar are also
not in use. The extensive green
house and conservatory are to be
utilized in the way of retrenchment.
Mr.. Cooke 8 gardener has entered into
partnership with Mr.. Southwood,
one Of our city florists, and the
flowers, ETC., are to be sold in the
regular course Of business in that
line, to an extent at least sufficient to
pay the wages Of the men employed
in that department. Mr.. Cooke has
distinctly stated that his private for
tune, estimated at one-half it's actual
cost, is included in the statement Of
his affairs.

In connection with the subject of
taxation we would further suggest
the advisability of paying all county
officials by stated yearly salary, in
stead Of by fees as at present, that the
fees for services be collected as usual
and transferred to the County Treas.
ury. We are assured that after pay
ing liberal compensation for the very
best ability there would remain in the
Treasury, under such an arrangement,
in a majority of the counties a large
surplus Of money with which to liqui-
date county Liabilities and thus relieve
the oppressiyeness Of county taxation.
It would also be a movement in the
right direction and a help 10 the tax.

To the Democratic and Conservative Voters
of Hartford.

In receiving the nomination which YOU
did me the honor to confer upon me in the
Primary Election, rs your candidate for the
Senate of Maryland, l was not unmindful of
the duty which devolved upon me to canvass
the county throughout its entire limits in
the advocacy of those principles, the continu-
ed maintenance Of which we believe to be so
vital to every interest Of our State and coun-
ty. But much to my regret, Ihave been pre-
vented from discharging this obligation, by a
very severe cold, from which am not yet en-
tirely relieved
While, therefore, have been denied the
pleasure of meeting my fellow citizens in
sections of the county which it would have
been source of great qualification for me to
have visited, still, | trust that my involuntary
absence may not be the cause of their with
holding from me that support which Ishould
feel proud to receive, sincerely hoping that it
may suffice for me to declare, that if elected
as their representative in the Senate of Mary
land, no time-serving influences, or fears of
loss of popularity, shall swerve me from the
course which may believe is the proper ono
to be pursued, as most conducive to the pros
perity and welfare of our own good county
of Hartford, and of the noble old Common
wealth of which she is so fairs portion.
