The Eagle in Kentucky.

This is the way the Louisville Courier
Journal editorially ushered in the glori-
Gus Fourth: "This is the Fourth of July.
1t argues that, being the Fourth of July,
is not the nth of March. Neither is
it the 1st of May, nor Christmas. st.
Patrick was not born on the Fourth of
July. Queen Victoria was not crowned
on the Fourth of July. No thanksgiving
has ever been appointed for the Fourth
of July; and history has failed to record
one single hanging or horse-race And
yet the Fourth of July is honored as the
day on which Gen. Jackson signed the
Declaration of Independence; as the day
on which DIR. Franklin won the battle of
New Orleans; as the day the eagle bird
of liberty tapped her Wings and ex-
claimed, in the classic words of Jones'
fighter, / am the bowling raccoon of the
mountains Shall we omit to honor the

BUSYBODIES.

IT is a fact, as I've been told,
That people, in the days of old,
Got rich in silver and in gold,
Nomatter what they bought or sold,
By minding their own business.
They did not try to wound ones fame,
Or SANDER anybOdy's name;
They cared not when you went or came;
They pleased themselyes--you did the same
If it was your own business.
And if man did what was right
In his own mind, and in the sight
OF God and Law, by day and night
He went ahead and fought the fight,
Determined on his business.
But in degen'rate modern days
There's quite change in peoples WAYS,
And what person does or says
Must be held up unto the gaze
Ofevery busybody.
And if you do not tell them, too
Where you are going, and what to do,
They get in such an awful stew,
They'll even watch and follow YOU
These very busybodies.
And then they surely think they know
Just when you come and when you go,
And they will whisper. so and 80,
To every friend and every foe
These very busybodies.
But if we take the pains to see
Who these same busybodies be,
We find there's not he or she
Who has a decent history,
Among these busybodies.
But let us no more notice take
OF evil tongues; but, for their sake,
Well hope and pray they soon may wake
From wickedness and money make
BY minding their own business,

THE NEW WORLD.

On the 14th an extensive fire occurred IN
Oshkosh, Wis, which burned over terri
tory two miles long and one mile wide one
half of the business portion of the city was
DESTROYED, and one-quarter of the residence
norton. The loss is estimated at from $780,
600 to 100000.
AN incendiary fire was started on the after
noon of the 18th in Chicago, in row OF
wooden buildings on South Clark near Twelfth
street. which before it was checked burned
over sixty acres of ground, consumed over
]. 900 houses and rendered 6, persons home
less. A stiff southwestern breeze prevailed,
which carried burning brands and cinders
several blocks, and rendered the eff
forts of the Fire Department well-nigh
useless. The confagration was not brought
under control until after ten hours
hard labor Among the notable structures
burned were the Olivet Baptist Church, the
First Baptist Church, Adelphi Theater, Mich
igan. Avenue, st. James, Continental and
Woods Hotels, the Postoffice, two Jewish syn
agogues. the Jones School building, Inter-
Oceanic buildings, and a large number oi the
finest business establishments in the city.

The Whit, Mans Club Of Ward
No. 9, Paris. Of Richland, met pur-
suant to adjournment, on Saturday,
Sept. 5tb, 1874, in the Court House.
The following resolutions were Of
iered and adopted:
Whereas, it is evident the Radicals
are making a strenuos effort to carry
Richland parish in the November
election, and there are great number
of negroes among us from the adjoin-
ing parishes hunting work, and where
as we believe the Radical party will
attempt to influence negroes to come
into our parish under pretense ofplck-
ing cotton and doing other work, in
order that they may acquire resi-
dence for the purpose Of voting
against US.
Resolred, That this Club earnestly
recommend to the people Of our parish
that they hire no negroes until after
the election, except those who are
well known as bona fde citizbnS cf
this Parish.
Resolved, further, that we advise
in q friendly way, all n, groes not a.
ready citizens Of this parish, not TO
register here, as the people Of this
Ward are opposed to :he further in
PRODUCTION of negroes among US until
after the election.
On motion the Club adjourned to

Begging, a Nuisance.

The Prisoners Frjcad, a paper
just started in Boston, in an article
which is plea for industrial institu-
tions and education as the way to
prevent suffering, paupcrism and
crime, thus speaks Of the system Of
professional begging, and its remedy:
This whole system Of professional
begging is public and private
nuisance; it sinks the soul it dc-
grades the better nature; it developcs
the bcastly. and it must be abatcd.
These begging vampires subsist and

Good Advice to COIOred Men,

1t is time that the Radical lead
ers take warning that the people
are fully appreciative of the gravity
of the mischief resulting from the
political doctrine, the tricks, deceit
and fraud preached to and practieed
upon the blacks from the Radical red
Republican platform. We have dis
passionately canvassed this subject
since the rio'ous behavior of the ne
gro in th- and other States, and we
believe public opinion to fully reflect
the question in all its bearings. We
ask the negroes to consider whittier
they are going, and the character of
the men who are leading them. If
they desire the country prosperous,
and life and property secure, they
will cut loose from their present lead
crs, white and black, and, taking
counsel of their best interest, vote
and act with the men who own the
country and conduct its main business,
who wish to see it and them in the
enjoyment of the fruits of we'll
