Of the State prisons, or used or seen.
There is no such thing in existence In
connection with the pris0ns. 1t is real
only In Mr.. Stokes' very fertile imagina-
ton. Mr.. Stokes has an ill-will against
Governor Tilden. While at Sing Sing,
whenever he got an opportunity OF an in
terview with the Warden, he would en-
deayor to persuade him that he could be
discharged without his commutation
paper going to the Governor at
all. He did not want to be be-
holden to the Governor for anything.
Tue tact is he is free man now by The
grace of the prison officials and of Gov
ernor Tllden, because he had dlsobeyed
the rules frequently, and we could have
charged up punishment enough against
MIN to have prevented his receiving his
commutation, and so have held him
there Tor year longer, but We did not
desire to do SO. | am glad you have

The Sarurdax Night Ra,x.

The Democratic parade Saturday
night did not turn out as we'll as others
have done. There seemed to be a dis
position on the part of the men in line
and their opponents on the sidewalk to
veil at each other most sayagely. This
had the effect finally to bring on most
serious disturbances, during which two
men were wounded by pistol balls and
the riot alarm sounded.
The first outbreak occurred in front of
the Hayes and Wheeler Headquarters
of the Eighteenth Ward, on Fifth street,
between Elm and Plum. Here a colored
man named Thomas White was severely
beaten over the head for shouting for
HAYES and Wheeler. Windows were
the arrival OF a company of Democratic
marchers, who put a stop to the muss.
At the corner OF Sixth and Vine streets
a man named VIM. Chrsty, black
smith, who has q shop at No. II Patter-
son alley, and who resides at No. 129
East Fifth street, was shottWice in the
side. The wounds are. not dangerous,
but very painful. Dr.. o. e. DAVIS eX-
tracted both of the balls. About the
time that Christy was shot eoIored
man named Jonn Watts, who it is al.
legged did the shooting, was stabbed in
the side by some person as yet ua-
known. ...
The origin Of the ARRAY is still in
volved in good deal of mystery, but
the most acceptable theory is that some
teamster undertook to divide the pro-
cession by driving through. His horse
was thrown on his haunches by sud-
den and violent jerk on the bit, which
also had the effect to throw the driver
out; that the coiored man undertook to
render assistance to the prostrate man,
when he was set upon and kicked by

CLIMATE AND WBATHER.-Climate is
geographically fixed, while weather is
atmospherically variable; climate is a
calculated quantity, while weather is an
unknown one. All sorts of rules are ap-
plicable to climate, but none are applica-
bic to weather. Climate is monarchy,
weather is anarchy. Climate is consti-
tutioual government, whose organization
we see and understand; latitude and al
titude are its king and queen; dryness
and dampness are its two houses of par
Lament; animal and vegetable products
are its subjects, and the isothermal lines
are its newspapers, but weather is red
hot, radical republic, all excitements and
uncertainties, a despiser of old rules, q
hater of proprieties and order. Climate
is great, stately sovereign, whose will
determines the whole character of the
lives and habits of its retainers, but those
whose rule is regular, and therefore 30 lit
tie felt that it seems like liberty; but
weather is capricious cruel tyrant, who
changes his DEGREES every day, and who
forces us by his ever-varying whims, to
remember that we are slaves. Climate
is local; weather is universal. We are
Indifferent to climate because we are ac-
customed to it, but we are dependent on
weather because we never know what
form it will take tomorrow. Climate is
the rule; weather is the exception
Climate is dignity; weather impudence.

DON'T ALLOW SMoK1Na.-We mean
around barns, gins and farm buildings.
Most people who smoke will agree with
US that it would be better if the practice
could be abandoned entirely; but every
farmer can atleast make rule that no
smoking should be allowed in or near
building, straw and hay stack and barn
yards. It will need good deal of vigil.
ance to enforce such regulation, but it
is absolutely necessary if property is to
be reasonably safe from the destructive
element. More than half the fires in ru-
raj districts originate in careless use of
tobacco, often by hired negroes, or those
roaming about the country and loafng
around farms. Occasionally the burning
building makes the funeral pyre Of its
originator-a result which does not seem
so horrible to the man whose buildings
are burned, as it naturally should.

PATRoNIzE HoMB MERCHANTS.
TO all our people We commend
the following rules, which have been
deemed 80 suggestive that merchants in
other places have united in causing their
publication as an advertisement:
First. 1t is your home; you cannot
improve it much by taking money away
to spend or harvest.
Second. There is no way of improving
place 80 much as by encouraging good
merchants, good schools and good people
to settle among you-spend your money
at home.
Third. Spend your money at home
because there you generally earn it; it is
your duty.
Fourth. Spend your money at home,
because when it is necessary for you to
get credit, it is of your own town mer-
chants you generally get it, and they
must wait for the money; therefore,
when you have the cash id hand, spend
it at home.
Fifth. Spend your money at home.
It will make better merchants of your
merchants; they can and will keep bet.
ter assortments, and sell at lower rates
than if the only business they can do is
what is credited out, while the money
goes to other cities.
Sixth. Spend your money at home.
You may have sons growing up who will
some day be the best merchants in the
city !; it is duty; it may be your pride
in after years to say: "By trading at the
store, I got my son position as clerk,
and now he is proprietor" then you will
think it hard if your neighbors spend
their money out Of town. Set the exam
pie now.
Seventh. Spend your money at home.
Set the example and this season try and
buy your dry goods, groceries, meats, and
everything at home, and you will see q
wonderful change in a short time in the
business outlook of the place; therefore
deal with your merchants.
Eighth. Spend your money at home.
What do you gain by going Off Count
the cost, see what you could have done
at home by letting your merchant have
it, and been just as we'll of, besides help
ing your merchants.

TnpK1su RULES OF Conversations

TURKISH RULES OF CONVERSATION.
Conversation in Europe has been de-
scribed as duetto in an opera, in which
the two persons engaged in it are talking
to an imaginary third person, each re.
counting tale of his own. "Isay some
thing and you say something else, and
we will agree to call it a conversation"
Now in Turkey there are certain forms
or canons of conversation, any violation
of which is considered an outrage, and
the sum of which constitutes their code
of politeness as applied to conversation.
l will enumerate these one by one.
/. Never to interrupt the speaker while
he is talking. However long.wiuded or
uninteresting his conversation may be to
you, politeness requires that you should
wait for his conclusion. You are not
under any obligations to enter into con-
versation with him at all but if you do,
it is an understood condition of your con-
versational treaty that you should let
him have his say.
2. Never to diverge, in the middle ofa
conversation, from the main thread of a
discourse into collateral issue. The
breach of this rule is considered by q
Turk as objectionable rudeness. To
drive red herring, as it were, across the
scent of conversation is, in his opinion,
to coufound all thought and render all
profitable conversation impossible. This
leads as corollary,
8. To allow short but sufficient pause
between the conclusions of a discussion
on one subject and the entering on new.
subject.
4. Never tell person thing he knows
already.
5. Not to excuse one'sselfwhen convict.
ed of being in the wrong. How very sell
dom you hear in Europe, eyes, l was in.
the wrong, am sorry for it." But in.
Turkey it is considered violation Of
principle and o breach of politeness to
refuse to be convicted of error. The
cause of this difference lies deep in the
character of the two races; in the ab-
sence on the part of the Turk of petty
vanity and distracting selfesteem. The
proudest race in the world, they are en-
tirely exempt from vanity.
6. When you have nothing to say hold
your tongue. They never talk for the
sake Of talking. Empty, idle jabbering
is not an Ottoman practice. In Europe
it is considered de rigueur to "say some.
thing" whether that something is worth
saying or not. Not so in Turkey; to say
something when you lave nothing to say
worth saying is considered there adegra-
dation to yourself and rudeness to = our
neighbor. Mall Gazette.

starved guests, and to slowing them away
for the night. The latter was q some
what difficult matter, for we were in quite

the incident so much talked of at the
time, of John Tyler and John M. Bolts
sleeping together at the National Hotel
at Washington, soon after the death OF
Gen. Harrison, in the Spring of lS4l.
The next day we pursued our journey to
Bufksville, and from there we took the
cars to Petersburg. We then separated,
and I have seen none of tho gentlemen
since, except Gen. Alexander, whom l
met few days after in Washington
All of these recollections are now ex'
tremely interesting to me. l had seen
the elimination of events at Appomat-
tox, and I believe I vas the only man
there on either side who vas not in some
way connected with the military service.
I enjoyed my long horseback ride from
Appomattox to Burksville very much.
Gordon and rode side by side most OF
the distance, and no Radical" or "Con-
federaten ever got along better together.
I found the General man of rare intel
ligence and great conversational powers,
and as We went marching along" we
talked for hours and hours of the incl
dents of the war OH both sides, and spec
ulated as to the future of the country.
Bidding each other goodbye at Peters
burg, we each went our way. do not
believe that Gordon, at that time, belie1-
ed he would be Senator in Congress
from the State of Georgia within the next
eight years, and certainly had no idea
that within the next few years l should
change my residence from Galena to
Paris. But so it falls out. And here l
will stop, and you may say it is quite
time. Not stopping after having endeav-
ored to give you the information you
sought for, I have run off into personal
"reminiscences in which you can feel but
little interest.
I have the honor to be, very respect
fully, your obedient servant,

Conc TO GIVE UP HIS SITUATION
In Forsyth, one day last week gentle
man standing in the street noticed two
mule wagon drive up to one of the stores.
There was nothing peculiar in this, but
what particularly struck bis attention was
the fact that the driver-a colored man
had an exceedingly lengthy pair of reins,
and was seated in the hindmost part of
the wagon. When the team stopped the
negro cautiously fastened tho lines to a
standard, got out over the hind-wheel and
made circle of forty or fifty feet to get
to the heads of the mules. This so ex-
cited the gentleman's curiosity that he
walked up and asked:
Look here, uncle, you are not crazy,

"Does I look like a crazy nigger, Mars

"Wsll, what in the name of common
sense are you cutting up these antics for
walking almost twice around the wagon
to get to your mules, and seated on the
gate to driver"
