Political Notes.

Mr.. Lyman, the new colored Congressman
from North Carolina has a history. He in now
thirty-one years old. He was slave before the
war, and was sold at auction seven times before
he became of age. He has got himself elected
Congressman chiefly by way of getting even with
the present incumbent for refusing him 5000
Federal appointment.
It is admitted by every Intelligent man that
political parties in this country have become 20
corrupt that thorough and sweeping reforma-
ton IL needed. The fact is not denied that
there is so much of corruption in either party
that its best members are engaged in desper-
ate struggle with ts worst to prevent prosti-
tuition of the entire party organization to the
selfish uses OF unworthy managers.-S. LOui,
Democrat, (Republican.)

preventative in Congress by the Democrats OF

The sIosquIto season.

The chief drawback of the pleasantly cool
nights which succeed the golden days of this
delightful season is the jolly persistency with
which the mosquitoes set about making night
of it Just at the time when people of regular
habits would like to do their sleeping chanting
their 1--WE won't go home till morning" song
IN reluctant ears, with sharply emphatic
prods between the verses. In vain the
victim wraps his hands in the covers and
cunningly disposes the sheet so as to leave moth
ing but breathing space exposed, some invo-
untary motion discomposes the nice arrange
ment and the subtle foe instantly espies ere
vice in the armour and drives in his lance.
There is way however to fortify oneself
against these pestilent assailants without retir-
ing behind the MEETINGS which are to many 80
Objectionable as interfering with free ventila-
ton. Moisten the hands, face and throat with
a decoction OF the Persian Chamomile
or "lnsect Powder an .iunocuous preparation
neither unpleasant to feeling nor to SMELL which
can be procured at any of the principal drug
gsts', and the epdermis acquires quality quite
repugnant to the fine taste OF the winged bon
cirdnts. Thus protected the nightly music be-
comes Il lullaby aud in calm confidence You
sleep the sleep Of the just.

-Ros tier W. Raymond prints letter written
by George Alfred Townsend to Mr.. Beecher sew
en- years ago, expressing gratitude for Mr.
Beecher's complimentary reference to him in his
novel of Norwood, and admiration for Mr..
Beecher, and this letter Mr.. Raymond contrasts
with the tone of Townsends recent attacks
on Mr. Beecher as one who was always dis

Halstead says The direct reference of this
speaker to the Americans present caused call
to be made for response. and Mr. Bayard Tay-
lor was introduced as tho Skdld Poet from
america. He quite surprised the people by ad-
dressing them in Danish, briefly but fluently, ex-
pressing sentiments of respect and congratula-
ton. When he had concluded the King, who
was standing in thick of the crowd, led the
cheering, giving the Skall the full and regular
three times three. At the Geysers few days
afterward, the King told Mr.. Taylor lie was OK
ceedingy surprised to hear him speak i'll Danish
and complimented him upon his command of the
language. 1t may be remarked that there are
half dozen languages which Mr.. Taylor speaks
with more eaee and greater accuracy than the
Danish, while there are many others that he
speaks RI well.

uuder the head of "Lost Opportunities, p the
Louisville Courier journal SAYS with keen ay-
prehension
''We give it up. There was a chance that the
next House of Representatives would not be
Radical. That chance is gone. The outbreaks
in Kentucky and the massacre in Tennessee set
tie that much. No people, no party, could stand
under such load as the people of the south and
the democratic party Of the north are forced TO
carry. Call it what you wil-the fruit of recon-
struction, tue fault of the party in power, the
inevitable conflict of races precipitated by bad
theory of government, executed in vicious
practce-the one effect of the whole mess of
violence is a continuance and reinforcement of
the old pretext by which the country has been
carried along in the same baleful, partisan rut
ever since the war, - s. i
1t is well to be plain. AS surely as the south
begins to get on its feet do its madmen proceed
to kick the fat in the fire. The Radicals only
want pretexts The south supplies them"

When Judge Hall was asked in 1871 if there
were any Superintendents, he replied 1--WE
had Superintendents, but they were not educat-
ed and would not or did not work9" Was there
any standard Of qualification for teachers2
'There was no standard of qualification for
teachers"
In speaking of the value and need of COM
mon free education, he said 'If they would
teach the children to read, write and calculate
little they would be surprised to see how much
better citizens they would make"
II would take up too much space in your col
umns to go over the tables of comparative pau
perism and crime ever were they formed upon
uniform data, which they arc acknowledged
not to be. But we have the fullest assurance
from every possible source and every country
that pauperism, crime, and illiteracy or ignorance
go hand in hand. Promote, then, said Wash
ington, in his farewell address as an object OF
primary importance, institutions for the gen.
eral diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as
the structure of government gives force to
public opinion, it is essential that public opinion
should be enlightened" ZENs.

Tie Lumber Market.

It ii very evident, says the Baltimore Ameri-
ran, that more lumber has been cut in the last
three years than the building operations of the
country required At all the great lumber de-
pots there are immense stocks Of boards await
ing shipment, and the dealers have more in
their yards than they can readily dispose Of.
great deal of the lumber now at the saw-mills
will he well seasoned before it is sold. In view
Of the large stocks on hand, the timber dealers
arc taking measures to diminish the production
during the present season. A meeting was held
at Tonawanda (near Buffalo, the great lumber
depot Of Western New York, on the 27th ult., at
which a number of tho largest operators pledged
themselves to reduce their force of cutters in
the Michigan forests and elsewhere, and to do
all IN their power to limit the production to the
demand.
These gentleman set forth in the resolutions
adopted at their meeting that spasmodic and
unhealthy stimulus was given to the trade by
the demand for lumber which set in at the close
OF the war, and that large amount of capital
was invested in timber lands and operations
were begun on an extensive scale. The demand
soon fell Off but the raftsmen and saw mills
kept on with their work. The results arc now
seen in the stacks Of boards that crowd the lun-
beryards. There have also been numerous fires in
the lumber regions, which have necessitated the
| cutting of the chalred trees, and this has added
to the over-supply. Tho Tonawanda dealers al
so state that for the last three years large uuan-
titles of lumber and timber have been handled
Ut ioss tnthe pfoducef owing TO the excess Of
supply and the high price of labor. There will
be lumbermens conventions held at Williams
port. Pa, and East Saginaw, Michigan during
the coming autumn, and it is highly probable
that they will follow the recommendation of the
Tonawalda dealers, and take steps towards re-
ducing the cutting force in the forests. No
doubt tue present dullness in the trade is partly
due to the money panic OF last year. The re-
pairing and building of houses have been post
poned on account of the ''hnrd times" With q
revival of business, and more satisfactory set
tlement of the currency question: building will
make their customary profits. Should the pro
duction be immediately stopped, however, there
will no doubt be an advance in prices, without
any increase in the demand.
