a NEW KNOW NOTHING PARTY

The New York Sun is authority
for the statement that new know
nothing movement has been set on
foot. 1t is called the American
League, and was first organized in
1871. 1t is stated that it has 49,
600 members in the State of New
York. and will run a complete tick
ct for State officers in the election OF
November. Its leading principle is
that none but Americans born in
this country and of American pa.
rents shall be eligible to office, and
it proposes that the naturalization
laws shall be amended accordingly.
Is also lays down the doctrine OF
non, interference in religious sub
jects, though it holds the law of the
land supreme above any church or
sect. It's secret society, made up
Of lodges, with passw ords, signals
and oaths.

BANK BURGLARS.

THE position of bank cashier
does not seem to be a particularly
enviable one at this moment. The
plan of going to his house at night,
gagging him, and dragging him with
a halter round his neck to the bank
safe, and making him open it, has
been found to answer 80 we'll that it
is being pursued, as a trade in vari-
Gus parts Of the country. We report
this morning a raid of this kind
which was made upon the Barre
National Bank, Vermont. The Cash
Ter was seized, his wife and daughter
were gagged, and the robbers, four
in number, dragged their captive to
the bank vault. But there was a
chronometer lock which defed all
their ingenuity, and consequently
they had to depart without the prize
they had come to seek. OF course,
the police have not been able to find
the four men, any more than they
found the man who shot Mr.. Schultz,
over in Brooklyn, or Charley Ross,
or the Nathan murderer. In these
days, the criminal classes are more
than a match for the agents of the
law.-New YORK; Times.

A WICKED HUSBAND.

THE meanest husband Of them all
has recently revealed himself in Chi
cage. lie is a doctor, and has an
office, and some practice. He has
a Young wife and child a year old.
Trouble in the family began because
the doctor lived somewhere else more
than he did at home. Very natural
" there were warm discussions upon
the question where he spent his off
nights. One day he picked mp his
yearling child and took it to the house
of a friend, and sold all his furniture
and pocketed the proceeds. The
wife was thus left without house or
home. She went TO work for her
bread, but she wanted her child.
She found it in is retreat, and torci>
bly, took it from the matron in charge.
She afterwards went to the doctors
Office and asked him for very small
sum of money for the benefit of the
child. OF course he refused TO con>
tribute a cent. She then picked up
case of surgical instruments and
went and sold it. The doctor had
his wife arrested for larceny and
thrown into jail in default Of bail.
He proposes prosecute the case for
all it is worth, and if he can send his
wife to the peaitentiary it will be
cheaper and no less effective than
divorce.

THE COUNTRY ORGANS UNDER
Observation-Disclosures, opportune
and truthful, from the New York
SIN, formerly Republican newspa-
paper: "Thc country is suffering
as it never has done before. Com
merce, manufactures, trade, indus
try, enterprise, ali are paralyzed
The causes of this mighty revulsion
are distinctly traceable to the mis-
rule and venality Of the Republican
party, which has had absolute con-
troll Of the whole government since
1861. While millions of the public
revenues are stolen every year by
the completely of officials sworn to
guard them, and dishonesty is the
rule throughout the public service,
the people are not only ground down
to support this rascality, but they
are impoverished by the system
which, at the same time swells the
volume of taxation. Real estate,
among the last to suffer in times of
nuctuation, is not spared in the
sweeping depression"

A MONSTER SNAKE ATTACKS A
MAN.-In the Sixth district of Pu
Iaski county, Tennessee, few days
since. a well known farmer, while
walking through his corn field, was
attacked by monster snake. The
Monster made his approach with
his head three feet above ground.
The farmer, being unprePared for
the attack, naturally gave back, but
his snakeship pressed upon him so
close that he frantically struck at
him with his fist, having nothing else
to fight with. He finally succeeded,
however, in procuring a rock and
telling the monster. 1t measured
eleven feet long and fourteen inches
around the largest part of the body.
Its eyes were very large and white.
About a foot of its tail was plated
like a whip, and was recognized by
old settlers as "horse-whip snake"

Docs AND DEBTS. An observer,
who has recently been examining
into the causes Of various Southern
States defaulting in the payment of
the interest on their debts, has dis
covered an unexplained connection
between this fault in Virginia and
Tennessee and the number of dogs in
those States. The dogs are said to
average three to each voter, and he
thinks that a State supporting so
many dogs can hardly be expo cted
to meet all other current expenses in
tight times like these"

THE editor of the Pitisburs Iron
World, who has been travelling in
the South has come to the conclusion
that the South is the home of cheap
iron, and that Southern pig can un>
dersell that made in any other State
of the Union. He says: Most persons
in the Northern States, who have
never seen these figures giving the
cost ofiron making in the South, have
doubted the statements, but we be-
lieye. after n somewhat exhaustive
examination Of the subject, that in
either Of the three States--Iennes
see, Georgia or Alabama -plgNiron
can be made from six to niue dollars
cheaper than in the most favored To-
calities of the more prominent IRON
producing States"

Few persons at the North under

of the Republican defeats of last fall
An Ex-Governor of Alabama writes
to the Nashville Union
Glad the Radical ma ority in Com
gress allowed us to 90 on and attend
to our various business interests in
peace, Just at the close of our late
war, we would at this time possess the
wealthiest section of country in the
world, and less than ten years hence
ofpeace will prove the assertion. The
strength of the South lies principally
in its products, and with good seasons
we can supply the world. Since The
victories of last fall people fromevery
section of the United State are look
ing to this sunny land for the certain
reward which awaits their efforts,
and they are beginning to come IN
great numbers than ever before. The
prospects for large crops of every
description are splendid"
