Ealism. Mr.. Bonner has won SD mag
iticent success in his own field that it
liz not improbable that he should desire
to extend it.
The committee appointed by the
Nashville Cotton Exchange to obtain i'll
formation and statistics in regard to the
growing crops of TIE South, express the
belief that the coming harvest, both Of
cotton and grain, will be the largest pro
duced in that Section since the war.
Ex-PREsIDENr WooLsEY, in recent
address on Honor in Politics." at
Harvard College, advocated self-candi
dacy by all who think they are fit for
office-the system of coming forward
and announcing themselves, such as
prevails in England, and also in this
country sometimes ut the South.
ONE of the State census agents went
into the house of Mrs. Sullivan, of New
York, and politely inquired how many
children she had. Mrs. Sullivan, re-
garding this question rs a bit of out
rageous impertinence, bundled the Off
Ger ont of doors and threw his inkstand
after him-a burst of sensitiveness that
cost Mrs. Sullivan 50 and costs.
THE Beecher trial lasted six months,
lacking two days. The case was called
for trial on Monday morning, Jan. 4,
and the jury was discharged July 2.
One hundred and eleven witnesses were
examined. The summing up for the de-
Tense consumed fourteen days, and Mr..
Beach addressed the jury on the part of
the plaintiff seven days.
AMERICA is famous for fairness. A
few days ago orr Minister at the Italian
Court, Hon. Geo. 2. Marsh, decided
very delicate and important question of
Swiss boundary, giving satisfaction to
both sides. About the same time DR..
Logan, our CHILEAN Minister resident,
ended boundary controvei sy of long
standing between Chill and Peru. The
settlement was intr,lsted to him some
nine months ago. His decisions on all
the points are cheerfully acquiesced in
by both governments. BLESSED are
the peace makers. "
Alex. D. HAMILTON, who fled from
Jersey City with some S7S, 600 belonging
to that city in his possession, was last
week sentenced to State Prison for three
years. The money which Hamilton stole
never did him any good. When he fled
frorl Jersey City lie went to Mexico.
There Cortina's gang of marauders got
hold of him and plucked him clean.
When the detective who went in search
of him found him, he was lying sick
and penniless. Now, stripped Of char
acter, of wealth, of everything which
makes life endurable, he enters a State
Prison. May thus fall all who betray
the people.
THIS time it is negro who is sued I'M
der the Civil Rights law. A white man
in Washington has begun suit against a
colored man who bears the unusual
name of Smith. 1t appears that during
the temporary absence of Smith his
mother hired room-for Smith keeps
q lodging the Caucasian.
When Smith returned he closed the
door on the palefaced gentleman, tell
ing him that he had no accommodation
for people of his color. Thereupon the
white man had warrant issued against
Smith for eiecting him from the house
contraryto the provisions of tue fifteenth
amendment to the Constitution.
OK the 1st of July it was one year
since little Charley Ross was kidnapped.
Though the search for him has been
thorough, there has been no clew dis
covered which gives hope that the parents
will ever recover the lost boy. 1t is
feared that in the hunt for the boy those
who had him in their possession were
compelled to so often change their quar-
ters that the boy died through fatigue
and want of care, or that the men MUIR
.dered him to escape detection. This is O
fearful conclusion to arrive at, but il
seems the only reasonable one. Had the
boy been alive it is almost certain that
he could not have escaped detection ere
this.
In many cases recommendations for
cadetships in the Military and Naval
Academies are made by Congressman
after competitive examination has been
held, the boy who passes best being Sc.
lected as the Congressman choice.
That there is, to say the least, something
singular in these examinations is shown
by the following statement which comes
