Walt Whitman has been living now for a
year past at Camden, New Jersey. He was
obliged to leave his work at Washington on
account of a stroke of paralysis. His late
POEMS "Prayer of Columbus" and "Song
of the Redwood Tree" are again agitating
the old question as to his rank as poet.
We hope, however, that Walter Will not
allow this fact tochiIl his poetic imagination.

Out in the fields hard by the town,
Where munching cattle rest,
The meadow-lark. I'm coat of brown,
And sanron-yellow vest,
From topmost bough of some tall tree
His vernal song doth pour,
Piping his little tune of glee
Against the railways roar.
The robin from the orchard sings:
The jay screams from the copse,
Fitting upon his azure wings
Among the spruce-tree tops.
And, bark! the distant campanile
Rings out a merry chime,
Salutlng with its bells of steel
The festive Easter-time.

On his cabin couch at the close OF day,
He had wasted and pinned till over his brow

When the land OF his fond loved home was niSh,

O. bury me not in the deep, deep sea,
Where the bilowy shround VIII weep over me,
Where no light Will break through the uarA'
And no sun beam will rest upon my grave.

Where the body may lie when the heart Is cold {;
Yet grant We, d grant We, this boon 10 me-

APHORISMS.

FROM TER GERMAN FREDERICK BoDESsTEDr.
The roads which lead to truth are rough and
dark
And early prophecies are late fulflled.l
Debtors are we to life, and every day
Comes as q messenger demanding pay.

The folly of the bill passed by the House
of Representatives looking to the establish
ment of pro rata tariff for the transporta-
ton of freight on all-railroads passing from
one state to the other is shown in the pres
ent rates of all-rail freight from Chicago to
the Atlantic cities. Yesterday, freight on
corn from Chicago, all rail, to New York,
was S71I cents per 100 pounds, and IS cents
to Baltimore. This is at the rate of 2l cents
per bushel to New York, and 1917 cents to
Baltimore. This is the result of competition
established by the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. These rates arc as low as those at which
grain has been carried by lake and Erie ca
nal to New York for several years, and occur
at a season when navigation is still closed.
There has never been any complaint of
through rates on grain. What the producers
have rsbelled against are the extortionate
charges on local freights. The congressional
bill proposes to interfere with the rates OF
through freights, and to compel railroads to
charge local rates on these also.-[Chicago

PROPHECY AND COUNSEL.

From the Plymouth Democrat
That the democratic and republican parties
will survive as political organizations for a
few years to come, is altogether probable.
Il is likely that each party will try to avail
itself of sn advantage it may perceive
through the temperance movement. The
pike is seldom swallowed by the minnow.
We advise our good friends of the reform to
steer their craft as wide of political reefs as
possible.

THE ScHUYLKILL COUNTY DEMO-
CRAcY.-The democracy of our sister
county. Schuylkill appears TO be some
what in the same condition as in this coun-
ty. A ring composed of few men, do all
the shaping for the party, and resort even
to oath bound secret societies to defeat and
shelve the honest portion of their party.
This power was exercised at their late con-
yention, and the trick was discovered, but
too late to defeat the Ring in their scheme.
The resul. will be that for some of the Of
fees, other candidates will be in the field
on the Democratic side, in opposition to the
nominees by the Ring party. The secret
oath bonnd society organized by the Ring
is called the Emerald Beneficial Associa-
tion,' is conducted on the style of the
Knights Of the Golden Circle, which con-
Jroled the Democracy in this county sever
al years ago. AS we are in close proximity to
SchuylkiIl, the honest Democrats, who are
now offering themselves as candidates in
this county may just as well prepare them
selves for a similar doom, as that of the de-
feated candidates of Schuylkill.

The public are cautioned against coun-
terfeit five dollar national bank notes on
the Traders National Bank of Chicago, Iii.
Under the letter G, in "Chicago," on the
face Of the note, the last shade line runs
into The Top of the first letter Of the word
''pay,'' which is directly under it, while in
the genuine distinct space intervenes.
In the date Of the year 1862 under the
right-hand end of the words "Five dol
lars, in the body of the note, the numer-
ais and come closely together. In the
the counterfeit there is a much wider space.
On the reverse of the note the most dis
tinctive point of difference between the
counterfeit and the genuine appears in the
lathe work enclosing the figure "5," at the
lower right and left hand corners of the
note, the eccentric circles being nearly
round and very distinct in the counterfeit,
and much more eccentric and less clear in
the genuine. The kneeling figures in the
left hand of the vignette on the back Of the
note are much less distinct than in the
genuine, and the work generally is coarser.
The paper upon which the note is printed
is inferior in quality TO that used by the
government, being much coarser; but the

NEMPuIs, August 12.-The excitement

Ing more intense, V";nu to unfounded ru-
mors Of young men of this city being killed

MEN FOR THE SCENE OF ACTION.
The Appeol's Helena special, dated twen-
ty minutes past eleven this morning,
says =
''Some thirty Mississippians, stragglers
from the force which left Memphis yester-
day for Austin, arrived here this morning
on the steamer Whtte, and put up at Orta-
wars Hotel. The colored people, unable
to understand the presence of an armed
squad of men, are much excited.
About nine O'Clock that mayor obtain
ed possession Of the arms, and had them
placed on the wharf boat for shipment by
Al. tt,n ol T,F ttn
little steamer Trader, the Mississipians, es-
corted by the mayor, the sheriff and other
officials, followed by large crowd of ne
groes, were marched on board of the Trader

Austin to-day. The negroes report fight
thsre last night, and that six or eight white
men were killed"

ARRIVAL OF MEMPHIANs AT AUSTIN.
Another special to the Appeal, from
Helena, says 4 Mr.. Sebastian, just arrived
from Austin, makes the following state
ment -
9Between 800 and 400 men from Mem
phis landed at Shoe Fly, five miles below
Austin this morning, and marched into the
town, without opposition, at three O'Clock.
The citizens had abandoned the previous
evening, and the negroes, after holding the
place few hours and sacking it, left for
their homes.
"The Memphians found about thirty ne
groes in the town, who surrendered at
once, eight of whom were arrested and
sent to Jail. The others were non-comba-
tants and were unmolested. Everything

NEW YORK, dug. IL, 1874.
Paris makes the fashions of the world,
and New York varies them trife to suit
the difference in climate and the peculiari-
ties of the people, and distributes them
through the United States and Canadas.
The lady of Washingtonville, in the State
of Iowa, gets herself q really fashionable
dress at 4 very moderate price. but she
does not know or appreciate how much
more the same dress cost her sister (by Evel
in New York when the fashion was first
brought out.
The fashionable milliners and dress-mak-
ers of this city make enormous sums of
money. The simplest bonnet on their
stands, without ornaments, is marked not
less than $40, and then the expense begins.
The little French flower is put on at S.,
and the milliner who asks it never bushes
blush, aud if that flower swells to wreath
or anything of that sort, the So swells to
$25. Then the plume and the lace must be
added and you find that the cheapest bon
net that any woman of pretension wears
costs not cent less than $50. Let us go
little into detail in this matter of
EXTRAvAGANT PRICES.
l saw 4 little white hat the other day at
a milliner's store, in the full summer style,
of course, with ticket on it marked $3.50 !!
Think of that And think, too, that this
trihe, for it was as frail as spun glass, could
not possibly be worn a dozen times That
price was doubtless paid for it, it was
dou btless worn and admired a dozen times,
and is doubtless now in some dust-bin.
What, oh wives, of hard-working farm
ers and mechanics, do you think of such
prices as 5000 for n not overly extravagant
ball dress-of 5000 for an evening dress,
and then not considered extravagant at all?
For be it known, on special occasions it is
nothing uncommon to pay three or four
times 5000 for dress, to say nothing of the
lace and jewelry necessary to set it out. A
rich dress of that kind must have all the
accompaniments to make it the proper
thing.
1t is a curious thing in dress that the

At vicksburg, during the election cam
paign, which resembled war of races, a
white soldier, whose face had been blown
full of powder during the rebellion, was
charged with the objectionable offence of
being a negro. He could only reinstats
himself in the favor of the Vicksburg Cau-
casians by publishing certificates from white
people of undoubted character, that by ma
ture be was white, but by accident was made
a colored man. This was considered salts
factory, and he obtained the recognition
which he had right to demand. Suppose
now the soldier had been without witnesses
to prove that he was born white, and that
his face had been co!ored by gunpowder,
he would have been forced to depend upon
the Civil Rights bill for the privilege of get
ting meals and bed at any country

IT WAS earnestly hopeu Inat Ine laIc
Grand Jury would follow its predecessors
of the March term in recommending new
iail to be built in place of the building now
used for that purpose, which has long since
been condemned by every reasona ble man,
as well as BY the Board of Public Charities
appointed by the State Legislature to exa-
mine and investigate public buildings
throughout the State. 1t is place scarce
ly ft for occupancy by brute and less tor
a human being. Strangers who view it
cannot help but look upon itas foul spot
on Northumberland county, and the ques-
ton has frequently been asked. why don't
the county build a new Jail and save
large expense by keeping her prisoners
here, instead of paying for their keeping in
the Eastern Penitentiary, and let the crim-
inals earn the costs ? But it appears that
we are not SO fortunate as to announce such
a GOOD result The Grand jury at March
term readily recommended the erection of
a new iail, but as some of the ''Ring, I" who
perhaps were somewhat interested in the
building of the new Court House, could
have no say in the matter of contracting
for the building, they perseveringly set
to work to defeat the project with
the hope of again getting possession of the
Commissioners Office, that they might be-
come interested with the contractors to an
extent of several farms. They succeeded
through misrepresentation TO the Grand
Jurors, in defeating its erection, by ma
iority of one against it, and recommended
scltite- scashing the old building. This was
at least little encouraging to those who
may have weak constitutions and be incar-
cerated, as lime is considered conducive
10 health. This laudable enterprise of
majority of the jury has already raised
some discussion. As a new Jail can
not be built unless recommended by two
Grand Juries, it is supposed that no white
washing can be done before another jury
sees st to sustain the last jury in their
laudable enterprise. Tie report does not
state, however, anything about erecting a
slab fenceenclosure, which shows negligence
somewhere. Those who took such an ac-
tive interest in the matter no doubt rejoice
and will work hard TO secure another De-
with the expectation of receiving crumbs
from the table Of the contractors. As we
know something about how the building of
the Court House was managed, we are not
at all surprised at members of the Ring try
ing to deceive the public in regard to the ad-
vantages in building new jail. The coun-
ty is much better prepared now to make D.
provements than when the Court House
was built, and its also well known that the
present board of officers would manage the
project with economy, and that there would
be no danger of extravaganza, or that the
tax payers would be again burdened with
a heavy county debt. AS to white washing
the old Jail is really not as bad as was the
white washing of the county finances by
the Ring that managed the county affairs
after the new Court House was built, as is
shown by the county records.

Reinforcements of Both Parties.
MEMPHIS, August IA special to the
Appeal from Helena, Ark, received at $3.50
this morning says AT eleven O'Clock last
night three ladies and two gentlemen ar
rived here from Austin in a skif, and re-
ported considerable fighting late yesterday
evening.
The commander of the post, whose name
We did not learn, despatched a scout of
twenty-five Oh the road to Coldwater Sta
ton, on the Mississippi and Tennessee rail-
road, and captured picket of twenty ne-
groes, who were stationed about two miles
from the town, and brought them in as
prisoners and disarmed them.
One of them, as they were being put into
the court house yard, tried to make his es-
cape, when he was fired upon and killed,
and in the melee which ensued another ne
gro was wounded, but not fatally. Later
in the evening large body Of negroes ad-
vanced from the south and attacked the
town, driving in the white skirmishers to
the court house, where the main body of
whites were stationed.
A charge was then made by the whites
and the negroes were repulsed With the loss
of several killed and wounded. Fighting

The Lock Haven Democrat vouches for
this snake story: One day last week the
daughter of NJ. Joseph w. Shook, of Su-
gar Valley, was out gathering whortleber-
ries with party of girls, when black
snake ran up her clothes and coied itself
twice around her lower body next to the
skin. The excitement was intense among
the party, but the young girl in the en-
brace Of the snake was the coolest of them
all. She commenced to tear off her cloth
ing, and by the time they were mostly off,
the reptile had been killed and was found
upon measurement to be eleven feet long.

The flooded district in Allegheny, our
Pittsburg contemporaries say, is fast re-
turning to its usual condition. The wreck
ed houses have been taken down, and the
street blockades and vast accumulations of
mud are being carted away. The cellars
are generally cleaned out, and soon the
streets will be in good order again, although
it will take some time to rebuild the houses.
1t is reported that the relief now amounts
to $4,000, all Of which is deposited in the
Real Estate Bank. There are frequent
entertainment given in aid of the sufferers,
and the tickets to them sell in large num-
bers.
