A Defense oTLarge Feet.

A Philadelphia lady writes to the Naw
York Graphic 1 protest against all this
talk about large feet as if they were a per-
sonal disgrace or deformity, aud small feet
as if they were a sign of beauty. In the
first place, this is not true. No lady who
is of average height and weighs $50 ought
to wear smaller shoe than No. 3. A
smaller fool than that-at any rate q shorter
foot-becomes personal blemish. More
over, all this talk is demoralizng. When
Gabriel blows his horn you newspaper men
will have heap of sins to answer for
Your descriptions of fashionable parties and
your praise of Miss Soandso and Mme
Suchaone as "the beautiful, 1.-THE bewitch-
ing, !" and the ''peerless," all tends in the
wrong drection-all tends to make fools OF
sensible young women. The old-fashioned
eulogies of wasp waists have passed away
and the ''waist of the period" is more nat
ural than that Of the preceding generation.
Let us hope that all this silly talk about the
necessity of having microscopic feet will
soon also pass away.

AppIes of the CROP Of 1s74.

The Reading (Penna.) Times says "Mr.
]. A. Kuhns, Of Moselem, has several ap-
pies in his possession of the crop of 1874,
which are as well preserved as though just
gathered from the tree. These apples came
from the farm of James and George Zm-
norman, of Upper Macungie, Lehigh Coun-
ty, who have about half bushel Of the
same kind. The apples were buried in
the ground in the Fall of 1874, and after
ward entirely forgotten. Last Fall, while
burying other apples, these were discovered
and put away in dry cellar, where they
have been kept in good condition ever

POLITICAL NOtes.


Delegates to the Maryland Republican
Convention were chosen on Saturday in Al
leghany aud Anne Arundel counties. The
latter convention declared for Blaine and
Bristow, and also for Chas. G. Fulton aid
John L. Thomas, of Baltimore, as two of
the delegates at large to Cincinnati. There
is no doubt that the Maryland delegation to
Cincinnati will prefer Blaine fret and then
Bristow.
Speaking of the Presidency, the West
Point (Va) Star says "If we consider
only fi5ness and ability, jeff Davis Is our
first choice, but then he can hardly be re-
garded as available just now"
The New York Times thinks There are
many Indications that the movement in ia
vor of Mr.. Thurman as the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency il gaining
ground, and that it is being pushed with in
creased vigor, not only in the West, but in
some of the Eastern and Southern States as
well. 1t is too early to form an opinion Of
the probable ultimate result, but it is GER
tain that no candidate yet mentioned for
the Democratic nomination commands 80
much strength at the present moment as
the veteran Ohio Senator.

1t is worth remark that A. I. Stewart,
though he considered it unnecessary to
place any signs on his stores, regarded it
as needful to advertise as systematically

nouncements were regularly seen in the
newspapers. And Stewart died worth from
fifty to one hundred millions of dollars.

Several of the city papers, we perceive,
in publishing the lists of Republican cleo
tion officers, classify them as INSPECTORS, ="
and Assistants. From the systematic
manner in which this is done, it would ap-
pear that some body has felt an interest in
securing the publication in this form, with
some ulterior purpose which may hereafter
be developed. AS matter of fact it is ell
tirely without authority or warrant. The
County Committee did not so designate the
election officers, and the rules of the party
simply direct it to appoint I" three election
officers for each ward and district. At
the meeting of the Committee, on Satur-
day, no one, in even the remotest manner,
proposed to the meeting that there should
be any such classification or designation as
appears in the published list of the ReptJ
licdn and other papers. Three names were
handed in from each Ward and district, and
approved by the full Committee, but each
of the three stands on an exact equality
with the others, and no one ls authorized
to directed to act as "Inspector," or /" AS
sistant," any more than his colleagues. Is
there some underhand trick in procuring
the lists TO be SO published?

MAJ. MERRuL's MISSION TO SOUTH
CARoLINA.-The Charleston Is, C.)
News and Courier, alluding to the fac
that Major Merrill, of kuklux notoriety, has
been ordered to the State for the purpose
of arresting leading democrat says:
s'Merrill will find himself an incum-
brance instead of help to the conspirators
in Columbia. The South Carolina demo-
cracy have done no wrong. They are
conscious of their innocence. Warrant
of arrest will not daunt them. They have
not resisted the law or irs mandates nor
will they. 1t is hard to see therefore, what
Merrill can do. In no event can he lesen the
force and vigor of the democratic canvass.
The simple presence of such creature in
South Carolina will stimulate the people
to greater exertions, for there is no en-
during escape from him and his employ
ers exceptby the establishment ofa demo.
cratic government which will need nc
bolstering up by arbitrary acts or require
the propping of federal bayonets. The
prospect is exceedingly bright. In every
country the colord voters are joining the
democratic party by hundreds. 1t needs
only that the democracy refuse to allow
theme Dives to be disturbed by the radical
mumbo jumbo and they must, with forti
tude, energy and work, elect Hampton in

HAYES AS A JOBBER.

The New York Herald says that the
Congressional Record shows that Hayes
was in Congress during ''the period of
enormous land grabs to railroads" and
voted for them ALL" So he did. Tens of
millions of acres of the best public lands
were voted to corporations who in return
paid the members for their votes in rail-
road bonds and stocks. These lands
should have been reserved for actual set
tiers. The first bill of the infamous
Credit Mobilier legislation passed the
House June 26, 1866. Hayes 0oted forit.
See House Journal the first session
XXXIXth Congress. Another act in
this swindle, for which Hayes vosed, may
be found in the Congre, siOnal Globe,
vol. SO, page 1920. The various land
grants, for which Mr.. Hayes vo.ed direc'
iy, aggregate an area greater in extent
than the States of New York, Pennsylva-
mia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa.
Much of this legislation was for the revi-
val Of grants that were forfeited by nom
fulfillment, and would have reverted to
the United States and been held for the
benefit of settlers, but for Mr.. Hayes and
his party friends.

The outrageous streason ofthe Admins

only shows the utter despair of the Radi-

place four or five of The Southern States
under martial law, they would, they think
succeeded in .electing their President.
But their day is run, and their time is
come. Never was people so blindly
led for so long time by party ofpretense
as has been that of this Union.

Expulsion of Cadets from the Ma
i. - val Academy.

SOME FACTS ABoCT ssHAZING."
Special Correspondence Of the Ealt. Gazette.
ANNAPOLIS. October 19.--The official
axe is again upraised to-day In the Naval
Academy, and tomorrow morning will
fall upon the neck, of cadet midshipmen
George f. Harrison, of Michigan; E. Will
kersop of louisiana; and E. b. Webster,
of Connecticut. These young ssmiddies,''
when brought before the court of inquiry
into the late "hazing" transactions, re
fused to testify as to what they knew in
regard to the affair, and when they were
informed by the Secretary of the Navy
that they need not implicate themselves,
but must testify or take the contumacy Of
the naval regulations, they still refused to
say word, and hence they are to be ex-
PEELED. This will make eight who have
thus far suffered expulsion, and three or
four who will shortly be tried by court
martial. The greatest influence has been
brought to bear upon the authorities to
have the expelled cadets reinstated, and
many Of those who were and are pleading
for them were under the impression that
they were punished simply on account of
refusing to tell who were implicated in
the proceedings, but, as stated in pre-
yious letter, majority of the expelled
cadets were themselves actors in the
''hazing" transactions. 1t is the purpose
of the authorities to annihilate the system
of ''hazing," and it is necessary to that
| end that the law should be applied rigor-
ously. The indignities practiced upon
the 'plebs" in former years were of a
character unfit for publication, but re-
| Gently l understand they have somewhat
moderated.
Among many Of the tricks recently per-
formed would be such as this, A third
class. backed by several of his mates,
would enter the room of pleb and say,
Il am an ugly fellow, don't you think
SOP" The pleb would say, so, no; you
are quite a handsome fellow" "Then,
Sir" says the third class man, s'you mean
to call me q liar?" The pleb would dis
claim any such intention, but in an in
stant he finds himself hanging out of a
third story window at the imminent risk
of having his neck broken the next mo-
ment. After permitting him to pas:
through 1age of agonizipg fear in this
perilous position, he is hauled in placed
between tyFo mattresses, and an Indian
war dance performed upon the upper one
the whole scene to conclude with large
dose of writing fluid forced down his un-
willing throat. This is brief description
| of one of the mildest forms of hazing, but
is sufficient to give an idea of the modus
operdnd: employed by the mild hammered
hazers of the centennial year at the
| academy.
