Bnrnet return to the parlor, and but
very little did she say on her way
home. On the following morning she
wrote a brief note, and sent it to Hem

to come and see her. He came, and
when they were alone she fell upon
MS bosom and asked him to forgive
her. She gazed up through her
streaming tears, and begged for his

not refuse her. Perhaps he was never

The area of wheatander cultivation
in California this year is upwards of
100000 acres, 800, 600 acres more than
last year, and the yield is extraordin-
arily fine. The total crop is estimated
at minimum figure of 35,000000 bu-
shells, leaving 25.O00,000 bushels for ex-
port-nearly twice the greatest amount
that California has ever furnished for
exportation, more than all the rest of
the United States exported last year,
and twice as much as Russia exported
from her great grain districts on the
Danube. California's gold yield rs a
mere trifle compared with this golden
shower OF grain. .aiht st.t

The taxes in South Carolina are
about four and one-1ifth per cent, but
such is the amount of population that
it is from seven to ten per cent The
New York Times admits "when taxa
tion reaches any such proportion as
this it swallows up the entire income
from property, or even more, and be-
comes confiscation, There is no doubt
that for the greater part of this enor-
nous burden bad government is the
chief cause" Bad government means

a In various parts of Ohio, the law
for the arrest and punishment of per-
sons found on the street in a state of
intoxicatien, is being enforced. This
is move that has sense in it. To
stop drunkenness, first render it odious
by Furnishing it as an offense that is IN :
separable from disgrace. Had some
of our modern reformers lived in
Adam and Ewes time, the latter W would
have been excused for yielding to
temptation; and the entire blame
would have been. thrown on Him who
placed temptation in her way.-X.

The Rev. Thomas Il. Beecher says

is done, he continues, "we shall then
probably have gone as far as it is pos
sible for human society to go in pro-
tecting its members against bad habits.
In this direction it would seem as if
time and labor and money would be
well expended. Profoundly satisfied
that stimulus has a saiutary part to
play in Christian civilization, and that
alcohol is natures readiest and almost
universal stimulus, the problem would
seem to be so to use it as to gain from

1MMIGEArIoN DURING 1873.

The Immigration to this country
from foreign parts, last year, feel of
nearly seventy thousand, as compared
with the return, for 1872. The immi-
grafton info Canada was, on the con-
trary, largely increased. The two re-
suits are attributed to the business de-
preston in this country consequent
upon the panic Of last fall, aud to the
activity displayed in Canada during
the last year or more in stimulating
immigration, and opening up her
western possessions to settlers. The
Immigration into this country was
2,545 persons, of whom nearly one
third were OF German birth. Thirty
seven per cent. came from Ireland and
Great Britain. Irish Immigration
seems to have passed its highest point,
partly owing to the absence of any
political excitement on the ISLAND, and
partly to the improved condition of
the remaining Inhabitants consequent
upon the large reduction of the popu-
lation by Immigration in former years
The Immigration fromSweeden shows
a great falling off, while that from
France, Italy and Russia is increasing.
Three -fourths of the immigrants being
of the Teutonic, Celtic and Anglo
Saxon races. OF over 100000 immi-
grants, only 2,200 had professions, ,and
10000 skilled trades; the remainder
being laborers, women and children.

THE SOUTH. The New Orleans Picayune
is jubiiaut over the large receipts of cotton at
the principal cities of the South during the
present season, aud ascribes the increased re.
ceipts over last year to the extraordinary fine
weather for picking and hauling, and to the
efficiency and better organization OF labor.
The Picayune adds: "One of the gratifying
Incidents of this years industry in the South
is the economy which has accompanied it. One
of our most intelligent bank presidents said, a
few days ago, that there has been saving OF
SIS, 900, 900 10 production and economy 10 the
crop which comes to this city. With such
production ADD such an economy in the direc-
ton of it, who can dout the rapid restoration
of the prosperity and wealth of the South.

The CARPET BAGGERs. The Chicago Trl-
bune thinks the government has been already
too lenicnt' with the carpet-bag element OF
Southern RepublicaDism. and tells the Southern
members of Congress that it does not become
them to criticise, much less to threaten, the
Republican party or the Administration be-
cause the Northero Republicans, as party,
are disposed to hold the carpet bapgers re-
spousible for the disordered condition Of
things at the South. 1t ADDS:
The government has borne with their oficl-
al misconduct and corruption until it is lmpos-
sible to bear them longer. It's warnings have
been UNDECIDED. and its Ieniency has been made
the occasion for fresh outrage. The Repub-
lican party owes no favor or advantage TO the
speculative carpet baggers. AS it is, they have
weakened it, in one large fraction Of the coun.
try have placed it in false position, and have
loaded it down with burden OF reproach and
calumny for which it is not fairly responsible,
but which it has had to carry. They have re.
PEELED from the Republican party thousands Of
votes, have hampered it in Its work OF recoo-
s,ruction, and have brought odum upon hou-
est Southern Republicans. Carpet bag Re-
publlcaus might as we'll understand at the out
set of their caucusings and before they proceed
any further, that Northern Republicans have
no consideration to extend to the frauds, cor
ruptioDs, trckery, thievery, and perVerson OF
law which have characterized Southern carpet
baggers, and that if they wish equal rights they
must rid themselves of this pestllental curse. y

THE BURNING OF THE CosPATRIcK.-
the most shocking of marine disasters recorded
is that of the turning Of the British enigrsnt
ship Cospa,rick Oh the voyage from London to
New Zealand. Of the Eve hundred souls 90
board the lost vessel, but three are known to
have been saved, and they tell tale of such
terrible suferiog as only the sturdiest eDdur-
ance could have vitbstood. There were thirty
people 10 their boat when they left the DOOM
ed ship, and but only the three survived when
rescue came The British ship Sceptre picked
I'D this one of the boats containing the
three survivors of the wreck. These we're
the second mate and two sailors. They
had been ter days drifting about in the boat,
During the greater portion Of this time they
sustained their lives by drinking human blood
aud eating human flesh taken from the bodies
Of their companions, who died 10 the boat.
When the vessel was discovered to be on FIRE,
eighty persons, mostly women, rushed into one
of the beats, which was capslzad, and all IN
i, we're drowned Soon afterwards all the
masts fell, killing many Of the passengers. An
explosion subsequently occurred in the stern
of the vessel, completing the destruction. The
total number of lives lost by the burning
of the vessel is estimated at 474.

he New York Journal of CONNER,

The New York Journal of Commerce, 10
speaking of the investigating committees that
have gone South, says :-'Southern investiga-
ton has generally been conducted with view
to produce political effect, to influence North
ern elections and to justify the continuance Of
war policy in section the vast majority
of whose inhabitants desire only peace and
quiet" Aud We doubt not that the ''old
story" will be repeated this time for the same
purpose. Fortunately the people put little
faith in the blood and thunder" reports made
by the committees as shown by late elections.
The Journal says: The mistaken course of the
Republicans, if persisted in, can only add to the
general unpopularity of their party and far
more deeply impair public confidence 10 the
Administration, which is held largely respon-
sible tor the offensive policy pursued in Louisi-
ana and other States
