Raising Parfrilges.

The following item which we cut from
an exchange will be OF interest to all
sportsmen who are interested in the pro-
pagation and protection Of the paragon
of game birds, the Virginia partridge,
or quail: "At Atlanta Ga, last Autumn,
a negro built coop, six feet by seven,
into which he put dozen partsidges
the ground being first covered with
grass. During the winter they thrived.
in the spring they mated, laid eggs and
Matched out several broods Of young, and
the negro has about sixty young par
tridges all doing well. They are tame,
and seem to be contented."
1t has always been supposed at least
in this locality, that the partridge don't
hatch out young while in cage or coop,
and could not be even partially domes
ticated or tanned. If the item is correct
it will be a comparatively easy matter
to protect and largely increase the num-
Der OF these birds. In their wild state
they are subject to so many vicissitudes
and accidents that probably not more
than one-third, or most one-half of the
hens succeed in raising brood Of
young.

The Season al Saratoga.

The effect of the close times is not

He died of consumption within sight

stood at the portal a fortnight before his
death. He was Maryland negro, full

He leaves his wife and one daughter,

His son-in-law is graduate of Harvard
University, and has an $500 clerk

this negro was in his business knowledge
and philanthrophy. He loved his race
with knowledge of its weakness and
childishness; he grew himself sterner
and soberer as he realized its errors; he
was himself public orator, and had
been in the city councils Of Washington,
but he disliked Office seeking and office.
Commanding two hundred able bodied
black men, who were underthe personal
drill fifteen hours out Of twenty-four,
he was inhexible, steadfast, and kept
perfect work with perfect impartiality.

sent them over the country to civilize

The Harper's Ferry Water
Power.

DR.. Redfeld, writing from Harper's
Ferry, West Virginia, to the Cincinnati
Commercial says:
"The splendid water power, some say
the finest on the continent, is still here,
but it runs to waste. The government
has sold all its interests here to Wash
ington company for something over two
hundred thousand dollars but the com
pany' has neither paid any of the pur-
chase money nor expended dollar in
improvement. The ruins of the armory
still stand as they did ten years ago.
Decay, blight and ruin seem to have
settled over everything here, and mel
ancholy has claimed Elarper's Ferry for
her own. 1t is thought that the 'com-
pany' at Washington who bid in the
property and have never paid cent Of
the purchase money, did it merely to
pinch round sum out of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, which runs over some
Of the grounds the company purchased
All the money they can get out Of Gar
cit in this way they can put in their
eye. The railroad company have had
the right of the way over the ground
here for twenty years, and they hold it
by valid grant, and what is more they
paid for it, which is more than the
Washington spectators have done in
their so-called purchase. The govern.
ment will likely have to take back the
property and put it up again. If Uucle
Sam was as sharp as he should be he
would demand twenty-f G per cent.

an air Of business at the start, and pre-

Something Like an Earth
0uake.

The Macon, Ga, Telegraph has in
formation that on Wednesday afternoon,
about half-past six O'Clock, Milledgeville
was startled by a very petceptible shock
of an earthquake, accompanied by a
decorating sound resembling the dis
charge Of beavysege gun underground
The shock lasted some two or three
seconds, and was followed by heavy
rain. The people were terribly fright
ened, and all ran out Of their houses.

POLITICAL NOTES.

AT a recent meeting at Marysville,
KY, Col. Goodloe, the republican can
didate for attorney general, said: s'Come
what may, come what WILL we are de-
termined that no democratic president
shall ever occupy the White House again.
The Chicago Tribune IS: ct is en-
courageing to find both th Republican
and Democratic parties ID Minnesota Of
one mind. and the right minl, on the
most important questions before the peo-
pie. Nothing could BE- more needed than
pcrusal Of their platforms 10 demon
strate the exact influence Of the rag
money aud protection organs on either
ide."
The Cleveland Leader has propouuded
conundrum which none Of the rag
money newspapers seem disposed TO an
swer II asks: .sIf circulation equal
to $1l.30 for each man, woman and
child ia the country was sufficient for all
business purposes before the war, why is
not the present circulation, which ia
equal to $1S75 for every man, woman
and child in the country, sufficient forall
present purpcses?'
Mr.. Beck, of Kentucky, recently said
in one Of his speeches that he chopped
and believed that the first act OF Dem
ocratic majority in Congress would be to
introduce bill abolishing the office Of
Lieutenant General Of the army, aud re-
| fusing to pay one dollar toward the com
| pensation Of a man whose conduct was
SO atrocous as that Of general Sheridan
hat been. Z
The New York Express says: we
desire to put 1t upon record, as beyond
dispute, that no democratic Congress will
| ever authorize the issue Of any more pa
per money than we have: and we are
willing to concede, ia the face OF public
| opinion, that no republican Congress
will. Resumption aud honest money il
destiny; and the people, as a whole, are
far in advance Of any party in making
this demand"
The New York World shows no quar-
ter to its Ohio brethren. 1t remarks:
s'This much is certainly due to the
recrcant managers Of the late Ohio Dem
ocratic Convention, that we should ex-
plain why it is necessary to suppress
their heresy violently as public nui-
sance, and send to the almshouse the
spurious rag-baby which, after pre-
tended authentic baptism, they have
surreptitiously hung to the door-bel OF
the Democracy, with an anonymous
certificate claiming its legitimacy.
There lisa good deal Of heatin Ohio
| politics justnow anlsome Of tho Cn-
cinnati editors are not SO sweet temper
ed as they might be. One Of them, how
ever, the philosopher Of the Commercial,
is entirely serene, distributing his advice
and suggestions with grace and impair
tiality upon both parties. To the Re-
pubicans he says: "Can we hope to have
q little speech Gust for the moral infu-
ence) from the distinguished citizen OIL
Ohio who is a member of the Cabinet?'
| Then turning to the harmonious De-
mocracy, he remarks: III Pendleton could
tell Thurman how to resume specie pay
ment by Initiating the currency, we think
the Information would help The old man
some.'

Extravaganza Voted Vulgar
I'm Paris.


With the exception Of the ante
diluvian Eugiishman Worth, who
still battens on. the land Of the Big
Bonanza, the dressmakers Of Paris
are in despair. In the really great
world extravaganza has at last
been definitely voted vulgar, and.
rs the really great world never
does anything by halves. an Area
dian simplicity and frugality have
become the fashion. At 4 grand
ball Just given by the Duchess OF
Chevreuse, the grandmother Of the
youthful Duke Of Luynes and one
of the submits OF French socie-
ty, the tuilettes OF the ladies were
as remarkable for their simplicity
as for their beauty. AT the races
in the Bois de Boulogne, the three
Infants Of Spain young girls, II is

of Bourbon-appeared in exquis-
itely-cut dress Of simple gray mo-
hair. And at q grand concert in

charming costume of pale blue Ok

been made up by her femme-de-
chambre, and which cost precisely
francs and 80 confines, or rather
less than two dollars In the curren-
cy. The wonderful Improvements
which have taken place Of late
years In European manufactures,
while we have been stumbling
along In the twilight Of PotectiOn,
are partly to be credited with this
most benign revolution.
The French dry goods shops
now sell pieces Oxfords AT the in
credible price OF five sous metre,
so that for franc anu ahalf d lady
can buy 80 yards Of a lovely sum-
mer stuff. For ID sous a metre
less, that Is, than cents yard
they sell charming Scotch goods
for peignoirs; ana, for from 20 to
30 sous a metre, mohairs and taffa-
ta-lines of the most exquisite
shades. The result of this state Of
things Is, that for 4 francs ready
made peignoirs can be bought in
Paris, and full costumes for the
watering places, with all the APP
pointments of the highest fashion,
plisses, tabliers, tunics, and casa.
ques, for from 70 to SO francs No
