n Thrilling Interest.

I fnd In the papers two little
items which appear to me to pos
sess thrilling interest. One states
that "thers Ia an epidemic among
the goats In Asia Minor" and the
other informs 10 that "Terra del
Fuego ls for sale" When I reflect
upon The almost pathetic interest
that b felt In this country in the
sanitary condition Of the goats Of
Asia Minor, aud upon the vast
number u Americans who DO not
sleep ct night because Of their great
aud Irresistible ysarnlng to buy up
Terra del Fuego at auction and
when I remember that American
nswspapsrs have lately paid for
several oostly cable dispatches
whi:h informed that Cardinal An.
tonelll's gout y better, and that
the Earl Of Marlborough was drum
ksr than usual, l feel that II It was
not for : ffes and Independent press
ths people Of this country would
soon collapse again into darkness
and ignorance aud hopeless chaos.

An excited Dutchman with dis
heveled locks aud voice in . fine
frenzy rolling, rushed into the
Mayors's Office, and said:
"Ish de Mayor Of de town init

On receiving a response in the
Affirmative from that official, the
agitated Tcuton exclaimed:
"What kind Of Q town vas you

Ipay no more taxshes-mein Gott,

Quoth the Mayor: "Calm your

The old man actually wept, and

mcnts the plundcred gardener
mastered his emotion, and said:

TEN THOUSAND DEMONS,

It came out In exactly the opposite
direction, and then. blowing all
the time just as hard, followed
the compass right around. The
Saco went by rs again, and the
immense feet Of junks went crash
ing and sinking all over the har-
Dor. Through the almost impcne-
trable gloom l could make out the
Stonewall close aboard by the fash
Of her minute guns. Our ship
rolled In the mountain-locked ed

IN . heavy ocean swell. About
half-past one a. m. the barometer
jumped from 2e:lS to 2s:47 aud be-
gan rapidly to rise. i could not

The typhoon rapidly abated, and
soon al hands had gone below to
catch . little rest during the few
remaining hours. The morning
broke clear and calm, but with
wreck and destruction on every
side. The mastheads Of dozens OF
jumks were visible sticking out Of
the water all around ne. On the
right hand rocky shore were piled
i've large steamships, the majority
Of them blown completely out oi
their element, high and dry, with
masts and sails In inoxtricable
confusion. Tho majority Of the
merchantmen had lost all their
masts and spars. One Of the lar
gest foundcred at her anchors
others were total wrecks and piled
in every imaginable way on tn,
rocks; the shores lined with bro
ken junks and sampans, and thu
water
COVERED WITH DEAD BODIES
and debris Of every kind. Th'
6toncwall had parted both he
chains and gone ashore and filed
with . large hole IN her side. o.
shore the destruction was awful
The solid stone "bund" was tori
to pieces, and the rocks and stones
weighing on an average half u tol
. piece, thrown across the stree
and into the gardens Of the house
facing. All the latter were dowr
including the Governors now pal
ace. The streets were filed wit
timber, beams, bricks. tiles, brc
ken limbs Of trees, and the Who'll
city presenting OH every sid
wreck, desolation and death. Th
Japs themselves were driven neal

GOOD FOR CoNNECTICUT.-The st.
Louis Dispatch tells the following
good one.
1t seems little queer, but it is
true, nevertheless, that even in Con-
necticut they are qnarrelling about
Jefferson Davis and the carpet-bag-
gers the State has sent South. The
Meridian Republican, intensely Radi-
cal, Disguised at the election of Ea-
ton, exclaimed in the bitterness of its
defeat ; Jefferson Davis is out of a
job. Let him carpet-bag to Cennec-
ticUt" The Norw III Advertiser
spied this and opened e the follow
ing fire that has silenced every gun in
the Republicans battery:
"Mr. Davis has the reputation at
least of being an honest man. Though
once secessionist, he is not a Hief.
We apprehend, then, that the proper
ty of our citizens, even including their
henroosts. would not be in the slight
est danger from him, were be to car
pet-bag to Connecticu,'-which is
vastly more than can with truth be
said Of Southern car?ot-baggers hail
ing from Conuec.icu.."

The New Orleans Picayune, OF the
10th inst, saws: "The arrival of
Gov. John McE.ncrv in our city was
celebrated yesterday evening, by quite
a number Of his friends and sympa-
thizcrs. Gov. McEnery was met by
body Of these citizens near Clay
Statue, and thence conducted in a car
riage, accompanied by band ofmusic
and large concoursc Of people, to
bis present residence, No. u Dau-
phinc street. Here he aligh;ed, and
was soon surrounded bv crowd OF
friends, who gathered around him.
Bv this time quite roncoursc had
collected on Daupiinc street, between
Canal and Cu>tomhousc, completely
blocking up the street. There were
some seven or eight hundred persons,
who chcercd Gov. McEncry,an loud
~ called for speech. The latter re-
sponded in a speech of some hour in
duration, in which he explained the
result of his mission To Washington
Gentlemen, the watchword of the
present campaign is to Organize"
Organize you must, if you wish to
obtain victory that is the first lesson
the negro has taught the bite. You
must march up in solid Pr TX and
vote for a true government. You
must rally under the Democratic par
ty that party alone can lead you to
success that party is daily gaining
strength. Look at Connecticut, which
has elected Eaton as its Senator-a
man who styled the late war "mur-
der" and who cried, Connecticut
first, the United States next" You
must igh. for the wli'c "eople now ;
the civilization of a 'i-u-and years is
not to be swept ANY, | mean no
prescription against the negroes but
| mean a solid organization Of white
men, an organization SO strong that
their votes will have to be counted
their candidates elected and seated
Let there be a unifcation of the white
people in the cause of good government
Gentlemen, | come back to sou

the Democrats will then hold the
Federal Government As for tho
election in 1874, some think that by
voting for legislators they recognize
Kellogg. Not at all. The law under
which that election is held is far Older
than the Kellogg government
