TILDEN AND THE SOUTH.

AT the present it scenls probable that
every state lately in rebellion will give u
majority for Y,idcn. Voters Il, the uoril,
should understand why this is so. The
entire south i'll the time OF tho war was
democratic. There was no republican
party there. before the late republican.
Tic emancipation Of the slaves and the
reimbursement Of the negroes gave rise
to a new feature III southern politics. Now
there arc tw" sides 10 every question in
which the masses have an interest. The
war did 10! change the opinions Of the
southern white people, nor did it modify
tier feelings, except 10 cmbit,cr them.
1t is true that they profess to have &C
copied the results o! Me war. hut it is u fac.
that they have never ADOPTED them. 1t is
their purpose I" achieve by u political
victory, just what they failed to gain by
n resort to arms. For long series Of
years the south controlled the admipls.
lratiOn of the government, and during
that time they were satisfied, but when
they lost their sway they undertook to
force a separation Of the s,s,cs-a .'es,luc-
ton Of the Union. In their efforts to do
this they found a hearty sympathiser in
Mr. Tildcn-one who with his Party in
the north, was not only able, but willing
to aid them in their reasonable schemes.
He did what he could to increase tho dem
ocra:ic vote, to silence an expression OF
public sentiment in favor Of prosecuting
the war, To prevent enlistments in the
union army. lie vro'e and spoke in sup
port OF state sovereignty, and against the
right Of the government tO sustain itself
by cocrcire measures-he did all in his
power 10 aid the south. When tue pub
lie danger seemed greatest, and the gloom
Of the war was deepest, he, with others OF
his party friends declared the war for the
union 10 he failure, and demanded
peace, without regard to the terms upon
which it could be obiaincd-this Was Mr..
T,ldun's attitude during the war. and it is
for this that lie has been made the candi-
date Of the democratic party. The south
know their man--and that IS Why it. will
give 10 him its undivided vote. In view
Of these facts, ought Mr.. Tiiden 10 carry
Q single northern state? 1t seems To rs
that no intelligent democrat in the north
can fail t. see that with Us arc the in
stinEtS of Freedom the S<.nfim ri ms
tice, the lose of truth which have hereto
fore Distinguished The American Republic;
that the industry, tie intelligence and
the thrift Of the northern people give
then, superiority over the so,All. and that
ii We have good government at all 1t
must emanate from tllt,se who possess
,ihes.. qualities. If the south votes for
Mr.. Tnden. the north should vote for. Mr..

TURNED DEMOCRATIC.

Last year when Hotclskiss came here
with such loud pyoft ssi"ns Of eternal IT,
atty TO republican principles, and to re-
publican nominees, it was the avnw'd
opinion Of many of both political parties
that. in case he sh uld not succeed IL lie
control Of matters here, he would tut
himself int" the market and accept the
offer nf any adventurcr who might hc
indiscreet enough to employ him. His
lamcnt,.bie failure to reorganize in this
county according to his wishes, is known
to ALL rs are lis modification and dis
comfiture also. H" is without republican
strength or following, and without bust.
ness ether than the profitable one of
publishing his large paper, and sending
it out 10 a constituency, great portion If
which neither desire 1t nor pay for it.
The few men in whose personal Interests
he came here, have sickcncd of him and
turned their backs upon him in disgust.
In this dilema he had no alternative but
10 20 Oft ON a raid in support Of Judg.
Stacy, the democratic candidate for Con.
gress against Mr.. Dunnell. In his last
paper he gives synopsis Of the Judges
late speech here, and speaks If it approx
ingly. In trying to save his transition
from rcpubIicanism to democracy from
seeming t" BE- too precipita'e 10 be hon
orable, he takes the caution to say respect
ing the national ticket, that he shall vote
for Hayes and Wheeler. Having some
time ago Tcpudiated the republican coun-
~ ticket, and now BY fair implication .i,c
candidacy Of Mr.. Dunnel], his disingen-
uous promise to vote for Hayes and
Wheeler, will be taken BY the people for
no more than il is worth, considering his
character for truth and veraci,y. He is
~ instinct and by education ("r the want
Of it) with the democratic party, where
lie naturally belongs, aud he will no doubt
vote their entire ticket.

A.year ago we published the fact that
J. p. Williams had taken $127 90 more
salary than belonged 10 him. Since then
our allegation has been fully sustained.
The Attorney General, the County Attor'
ncy and an investigating committee all
agreeing that what we said was true
Williams refuses to refund the money,
and We now ask the County Commission

We venture the prediction that Hotcl-
kiss will not say single word this week
in favor Of Hayes & Wheeler. He will
ignore the whole Republican ticket, local
and general. Flow villaiaously he has
deceived those who believed that he yas

The English Patent Journal describes
q combination of foot-warming ap-
paratus with boot. The heel of the
boot is of metal, and hollow, and con-
tains a supply of artificial fuel. The
heat from this is made to pass through
channels in the inner sole, part of
which is placed upon spring, SO that
the action of the foot in walking acts
like bellows, drawing in the cold air
by an aperture in the heel and driving
the heated air into the boot. A modi-
fcation of the apparatus can, we are
told, be applied to hOrse-shoes.

Street Scenes In Papeete, Tahiti.

There are no such things as pave
ments, sidewalks, or cutters, and every
body travels in the middle of the mar
row streets. You pass along and step
aside, now to avoid running into q
crowd of Kanakas holding q confabula-
ton, now to avoid stepping on an old
native woman who is squatting in the
street, intent upon drying some tobacco
with match preparatory to having q
smoke. Further on, at corner, is q
crowd of men and women lowering
around the stump of cigarette, which
is successfully smoked and tossed
around on the ground for the next one
to take up and have Whit at. On one
side the street Chinaman, with moth
ing on but pair Of big-legged breeches,
leans against door-post gazing into
vacancy pondering on the wise sayings
of Confucius or planning scent swim
die; on the other side dusky maiden
sits on rock playing fragmentary
noise on cracked accordion. Next
door is a Chinese barberas shop; the
customer, on the front porch, sits bolt
upright on stool, with nothing to sup
port him but his thin back, while the
lank-iawed artist plies the torture. On
the other end of the porch there are
two or three native women lounging,
for John is popular with the native
bellies, not because he is handsome
Tahiti bellies look deeper than that-but
because he makes an exemplary hns-
band; for not only does he do his own
and their cooking, but he washes for
them too, and leaves them to eat, sleep
and smoke in undisturbed Incidence.

THEY tell of a pert New Hampshire
school-teacher near Fitchburg, Mass,
who had a class in geography on the
floor the other day, and she asked one
of the boys what the soil was in New

The teacher, highly indignant, said the
soil was as good in New Hampshire as
in Massachusetts. The scholar spunk-
ily denied it, and added: "Father had
a bull in pasture in New Hampshire

starved to death. They could not get

Jules Godefroy, who appeared before
the correctional tribunal at Evreux, in
France, the other day, is in some re-
spects a model criminal. Thirty-six
convictions are recorded against him,
but when undergoing his sentence his
behavior is always beyond reproach,
and he even renders considerable SER
vice to the prison authorities as book
keeper. At the expiration OF his SEN
tence, he has generally left the prison
with modest capital, but the air Of lib
erty seems to have an intoxicating ef-
feet on him, for he spends his prison
earnings in q few days, and generally
applies to the nearest Commissary OF
Police to be incarcerated afresh. He
was imprisoned for the first time at
Rouen in 1845, and since then he has
been sentenced to total of twenty-five
wears and five months imprisonment.
When questioned by the presiding Judge
at Evreux, he said that it was owing to
the surveillance Of the police that he
was unable to find work, and pointed to
his exemplary conduct in prison as a
proof of his being neither vicious nor
lazy. Reminded by the Judge tE.t be
was liable to imprisonment for ten
years, he rejoined with much bonhom-
mie that he was aware Of the sad fact,
but that as, considering his age, he was
not likely to live so long, half that peri.
cd would meet the requirements OF the
case. The Judge adopted his sugges.

TOy.MakiDg in Paris.

In Paris there are about 5000 work
men employed in the exclusive trade OF
toy manufacture. The chief essential
in this art is the procuring OF the sub
stances-the raw material-to be used,
for unless these can be obtained for
next to nothing, the finished work
would have to be sold too dear to al
low of its success. The barrels of sham
guns, so dear to the warlike male off
spring of the modern Gaul, are wrought
up out of old sardine boxes. Dolls
boots are made of the coverings of dis
carded purses, and their dresses and
trimmings of the old worn-out stage
costumes of actresses, gathered from
every theater, great and small. As for
the wheels which support the thousand
movable creations in which the in
fantile heart delights, they would, of
course, if constructed even by toy wheel
wrights, be an important item OF ex-
pense in the profession. As it is, they
are provided for by appropriating to
this purpose the round pieces cut out
from wood or metal when holes are
bored in it to allow the insertion of
some other article. Such are the cruet-
stands in use in France, in which
each glass bottle is encased in layer
of wood, while in this country probably
medicine boxes would afford a more
common example of the same thing:
