SOME of our Republican neighbors still
claim Notwithstanding Oregon, that
Hayes is elected. Well. there is no ac-
counting for the visions of the human
mind. They cannot bear the idea of the
dead Democratic party" having a glori-
our resurrection with SAMUEL ]. TILDEN,
as President. 1t is sad for them.

The REPOSITORY gave their poor
shanghai fowls and other animals an
airing last week in an extra. There
was little else than fda0l in it. They had
not then heard from Oregon Returning

piece of good news has raised futter
ing in the shanghai party.

ALL the internal trouble in the South
grows out of the gushing tenderness of
the Republican leaders toward the rebels
at the close of the late war. If few
leaders had been hung, and every active
participant had been disfranchised for
life, peace and prosperity might have
been secured. But mistaken lenity is
rewarded by political troubles which
will cuIminale, some day, in more ter
rible civil strife than that of 1851. After
ALL the strictest justice is the truest mer-
cy. Lenity to a few unrepentant rebels
is cruelty to innocent Millions Warren
(O) Tribune.
This is the stuff on which Radical
sucklings are fed in some quarters. Such
organs have long since discarded "peace
and good will" from their vocabulary
Charity they have none for political op-
ponents. These blood-thirsty fools and
knaves ignore the fact that the late war
was prosecuted for the purpose Of restor'
ing the Union in all its glory and equali-
ty. On this account and this only was
the war a success. On any other basis
the Northern people would not have raj
lied to the flag as they did. "If leaders
had been hung and active participants
dsfranchised for life"-the Republican
party might have continued indefinitely
in power, and continued their robber
rule. This is what the Tribune means
by peace and prosperity" That bigot-
ed sheet does not seem to know that its
party has not given the country "peace
and prosperity" and that is why the
People elected Mr.. Tilden by some 300
900 majority. According to these sheets
the election of Tilden is a "rebel" VIC
tory, although he was and is the over
whelmlng choice of the American peo-
pie. The "rebels" just now are those
who are trying to count in a man for
President who was not elected. Those
are the "unrepentant" cusses.

He is Going to Resign .

In Forsyth, one day last week, gen
tleman standing in the street noticed a
two-mule wagon drive up to one of the
stores. There was nothing peculiar in
this, but what particularly struck his at
tention was the fact that the driver, a
colored man, had an exceedingly lengthy
pair of reins, and was seated in the hind
most part of the wagon. When the team
stopped, the negro cautiously fastened
the lines to standard, got out over the
hind wheel and made circuit of forty or
fifty feet to get TO the heads of the mules.
This so excited the gentleman's curiosity
that he walked up and asked:
Look here, uncle, you are not crazy,
are youl"
"Does I look like a crazy nigger, Mars
Tom7'
''Well, 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 sitting on the
gate to driver"
The negro looked at the gentleman
moment and then burst into an uncon-
trollable fit of laughter.
"What the devil do you meant"
''Mars Tom, don't you know dat off
mule dart OATS Mars lump Ponder's
roam mule"
'Well, what the mischief is the matter
with the mulel"
"Why, Mars Tom, dat mule is sight

A NEW SPECIES OF WHALE.

A NEW SPECIES OF WHALE.-The dis
coveTy of a new species of Ziphioid
whales is announced in Nature. A shoal
Of twenty-eight strange ceteceans was
stranded on one of the Chatham Islands
but the heads only of three individuals
we're obtained. As far as could be as
certained from a study Of these members,
the species is nearly allied to the genus
Mesoplodan, shut differs from the known
species in the possession of row of
small, pointed, conical, recurved teeth,
about twenty in number, in the hinder
part Of the jaw, in addition to the usual
single large tooth, placed near the mid
die of the ramus of the mandible. This
is very interesting circumstance, as
connecting the peculiar dentition of the
ziphioids with that of the ordinary
dolphins." The cetacea of this group
have heretofore been seen only in pairs
or solitary, and the fact that they do as
semble in shoals is a novel one in their
history. An account of the new species
has been sent to the London Geological
Society by DR.. Julius Won Hast, Of Can
terbury, New Zealand.

The Old Time Custom of Throwing a
Woman in the Sea at Cyprus.

Cyprus, one of the chief seats of the
ancient worship of Venus, still keeps up
sundry festivals derived from that wor-
ship, though mingled with Christian or
at least Biblical ideas. One of the strong
est of these occurs on the 18th of June in
each year and is called the "Catadysmo, ="
a name that is merely the Cypriote form
of "Catalysmos," meaning, of course, the
flood. But the festival has nothing more
than the name that can refer to the del
uge. As the day approaches gay prepara-
tions are made on shore, and the bOatmen
paint their boats in gaudy colors and
adorn them with flags and streamers.
When the day comes young girl in her
teens, as remarkable for beauty as can be
found, is forcibly captured and carried
out on the sea in boat, the other boats of
the neighborhood accompaniment fleet.
At the proper distance from shore, with
various land probably appropriately cere-
monies, the girl is thrown into the sea.
As she rises again from the water she is
picked up with loud demonstrations of
Joy, taken into the gayest boat and car
ried to the shore in triumph. She is then
crowned, provided with attendants of
honor, and worshipped all the day as a
queen or demi-goddess. Besides the GER
emonies, which are much like the Eng
lish Mayday, there is an abundance of
noise and revelry, which are usually kept
up through the following night rendering
sleep in the neighborhood impossible.
The scholar will at once recognize here
relic from the worship of Venus Anady-
omene, who rose from the waves near
Cyprus. The inhabitants say this cere-
mony has existed among them "from the
time of Venus" in whom they believe as
a veritable parsonage.

A MILLIONAIRE ON TAxATIoN.-The
''lafgest individual taxpayer in Boston, {"
Nathan Matthews, pays tax of e35, 1888.
He complains of the unjust over valua-
ton Of his real estate, and says that his
whole productive real estate-that is,
nearly 100 stores and dwelling houses and
wharf property = does not produce an
average return Of three per cent. over in
surance and taxes. A store which rents for
only $4,000 is taxed atS125,000. This is
in the burnt district, but his north end
property is rated-so high that it does not
rent for over three per cent; even taking
the average Of seven years this holds good,
50 10th are the assessors to recognize the
depreciation of property in any district.
He gives instances outside of Boston
where the valuation has been increased at
the request Of the owners to promote
transfers at q fraudulent value, and
charges the savings banks with relying
too fully on the assessors.

PIRACY ON THE MKDITERRANEAN.-
The Copenhagen Dagbladet publishes a
report from the captain of the Danish
schooner Lucinde, in which he states that
on the I'd of last month (January) about
noon, and within four English miles of
the fortress of Gibraltar his ship was
hailed by boat, which, when it came
alongside and had got line on board,
turned out to contain an armed crew of
nine men, looking like thorough pirates.
Some of the crew tried to get on board
the schooner, when the captain let 90 the
line, when the crew In the boat began
firing at the schooner, and It was later
found that five balls had pierced the
mainsail, one through the mainstay sail.
and two more entered other parts of the
ship. The captain adds that the day was
clear, and that it was impossible
that the occurrence should not have been
witnessed from Gibraltar. This, it ap-
pears, is only one of the several attempts
at piracy occurring lately in the Straits
of Gibraltar within British jurisdiction
complained of in Scandinavian papers.

A BOYS COmpOsition on Parents.

Parents are born to be a great trouble
to their offspring. They upset all fell
lows plans. 1t would be jolly not to
have any. When was ever so little,
remember, tried to hang up the kitten
by my whip-lash, and mother took the
kitten away, boxed my ears and went and
drownded it herself the next day. So
she had all the fun herself; and fathers
worse than mother. He told me to take care
of the pennies, and the dollars would take
care of themselves; so l and Ben Smith
formed an Anti-Swearing Club. We had
rule that for every profane word we
used we should'pay cent into the treas
ury. We had seventy-fve cents in the
first day, but when we divided, and
fetched thirty-seven and a half cents
home, father said it was a bad business,
oea uas. -oks up tlis ss.ib. fifsx
is'a fsaAnW to know when he is doing
rightl If / had no parents to hound me
round, I'd beat George Washington all
boiler, for I'd cut down every cherry tree
in the garden, and own it, too. If l was
an orphan, know what I'd do to-mor-
row, Ben Smith and me would go straight
to desolate South Sea Island, and stir
up the goats and monkeys and things,
crack cocoa-nuts, fry toad-stools, eat
oranges a spell, then we'd make a ship
and sail round the world. What's the
use Of drying up in one place2 told
mother one day when she wouldn't give
me ten cents, that meant to go a-whaling,
and hoped whale would swallow me,

She said wouldn't be likely to make

I'd do; I'd keep still and mind my own
business, and let my children have some
fun. There's Tom Cuts lives with bis
aunt, and he has bully time. He goes
wood chucking and ceiling Sundays, has
no best clothes, and no pocket-handker-
chief to bother him, crawls under the
canvass of every circus tent, earns money
at the theatres, sleeps in the stable when
he likes, and always has his pocket full
of peanuts. He says he wouldn't be
bothered with parents, if he could have
'em for nothing, and he thinks if hadn't
any, it would be money in my pocket.
Them's my sentiments.
