St. Helena.

The historical island of St. Helena is
falling into insigni6canoe and decay, and
It's Governor sees DC. hng in the circum
stances of the station to Indicate a proba-
BILE return of prosperity. The resi- lent pop
ulatlon OF the island was never above 5000,
one half being blacks, and during the past
two years 300 whitemen have emigrated to
the cape of Good Hope, and 26l liberated
blacks have been forwarded to Lagos and
Sieera Leone. The revenue has decreased
from $50 900 to 900 in the same time,
and rents have fallen one third. Landed
property has consequently deprecated euor-
mously IN valus, until the owners of real
estate may lie hkened to those of Virgin
Ia, mentioned by Gov Wise. 1.-THE more
land they possess, the poorer they are"
A correspondent reports that property
which was twice within the past eight
years sold for 1000, recently brought on-
ly $500, and another, assessed at $4,000,
was disposed of for less than ST 900 The
health and morals of the Inhabitants, how
ever, seem to improve as their material
4 prosperity wanrs. The whole number of
deaths of 1872 was only sc, and no case.
OF serious crime occurred, the entire bust
ness of the supreme court being limited to
two conv'cticns for larcnry. Although St.
Helena is of little importance from CON-
mereial point of view, the island would be
invaluable to Greas Britain in case Of : var
With great naval power. 1t is situa-
ted almost midway between the continents
OF Africa and South America, and, as its
Governors say, two or three war wee.
sells stationed there would be able to inter.
cept the whole returning trade Of the
East"

Story's Last.

A writer in Rome says: " Mr.. w. W :.

which the general voice here declares, With
more unanimity than is often met with in
such matters, to be the finest work he has
yet produced. 1t Ia an Alcestis-or, as it
Is the modern fashion to write, ana as Mr..

moving forward slowly and doubtfu'ly ut the
moment of her return TO earth; and the
idea of this half Jswildered, hesitating
motion is SO wildly IMPRESSED on the I'M
aginat'un of the beholder that it is difficult
to persuade ones self that AS the figure
stands so i: will continue to stand forever
While the right hand gathers the folds of
her drapery around ner bosom, the left hand
hangs lstlessly by her side, and the
amount of expression OF doubt, hesitation,
and but half recovered consciousness
which that hand is made to express, Is
simply wonde, ful. The drlpery Is evident
ly of some very soft material, the simple an d
elegant folds of which. descending to the
naked feet so to reveal only portion OF
them, are admirably managed. The face IL

fureslladow the election of a Democratic
Congress in 1874, and the election OF !.

The secret of the triumph already won
has been steadfaSt adherence to the organ

Piles of the Democratic party. The Worlt!
has been faithful to its trust. Wien faint

past aud present triumphs, is still stead
fast adherence to the organization, an TN
hinching fidelity to the principles of, the
Democratic party-principles never so
needful as now to be applied throughout
our National, State and Municipal life, to
heal the wounds and decentralization OF
war, to stop corrupt and protligate expen
diture, to limit and localize powers en-
trusted to the peoples servants, to lihcrtte
our industries from the letters of IA barhar

OUR GOVERNMENT. The Cincinnati Ca
zette says that "no people in the world
baye so little respect for their Government as
the people of the United States" This is
very true, and the Gazette might have pro-
ceeded to say that there is no Government
in the world that has so little respect for its
people, or that deserves less from It's people.
A worse administered Government for the
last ten years, in so far at least as one-haIf OF
the country is concerned, is no where to be
found within the compass Of civilized ma.
tons, and people can never have very en-.
thusiastic attachments for Govern
ment that Is made q means of wrong
and oppression to them, and that makes al,
inferior race masters of the situation. Well
may the Gazette ask these pertinent ques-
tons: wv hat prospect has government for
perpetuity which the people despise? How
can the sentiment of patriotism exist with
out respect for the government What Is
there to rally the people against either ex.
ternal or internal danger, when they have
no government which they think worth
saving? Is not general disgust with the
government the always ready opportunity

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TOWN, ETC.


HARRISBURG, August 4, 1874.
This part of the country is sadly in need
of rain, and should it continue dry for an
other week the corn crop will be an utter
failure. The wheat crop was good one for
some sections of this county, but in Others
was much injured by the fly and dry wea-
Their. The oat crop is an entire failure, as
also the bay crop. For four years the peo-
pie have been visited by drought, and it is
impossible to get any kind Of grass to stand.
Lands are becoming weak for the want of
clover, as farmers keep up their lands by
green crops turned under in this section.
The city Of Martinsburg, for such it now
is, shows unnistakable signs of growth.
Water and gas works both entitle it to the
rank of a city. The work Of laying the
water-pipes has been nearly completed. on
the principal streets, while the glimmer OF
many lights at nighttime tells that the old
fashioned way of doing things has passed
away.
Two railroads give rise to competition,
aud the city is in communication with both
Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Some stir is taking place in politics, and
quite number Of candidates are wiling to
serve their country tor their own good.
There seems to be a disposition 10 have an in
dependent run, and free fight, in which all
can engage. The election of congressman
comes off in October.
Last Friday, July 31st, was the day set for
the execution OF the negro Taifero, convict
ed of the violation and murder of the white
girl Annie Butler, noticed in the Dispatch
last tall. He was twice convicted, but the
Supreme Court Of The Stale has stayed the
execution for the present, Il writ Of error
baviag been entered. Much indignation
prevails. No other news of interest.
