Those who think Of voting for an

Indeed the politics of this country
are not possible except through or
gained efforts Party politics has

very grave, and the most perfect of
human contrivances for any purpose
is subject to the defects which flow
from human fallibiIity. 1t happens,
however, that in the long run the
good results far over balance the evil.
A strong and good government,
able to afford protection and securi-
ty to the citizen and tranquility to
society, has its attendant evils but
il IS an uumixed blessing when com
pared with the anarchy and confusion

Party politics is the best elements Of

times flow, they are Of little conse

of unorgauized politics, which are
anarchy and confusion. .ndependo
ent politics is an absurdity 1t is
yielding up great leading principles
for every wind of doctrine that may
blow; for every individual opinion
rom, Dick or Harry may pIausibly
present, for every personal aim and
ambition that may obtain following

1t did not, however, and he then
tried several local remedies, such as
drinking nine swallows of water,

his back, and such like cures. He
became alarmed, for be felt he was
getting weaker every minute. 1t
continued with renewed violence,
and Hoskins was advised to go
home by the boss. His wife made
him hot coffee, and he tried to eat
breakfast, but his appetite was en-

house to procure other medicine -
Sill the hiccough continued, and in
fifteen minutes after the doctor left

Gov Chamberlain assertion that
the State is like an armed camp has
been verified, Troops have been
pouring il from North Carolina,
Virginia, New York, Maine and
Massachusetts for the past day or
two. They are mainly coneentra
ted at this point, and the city now
assumes al aspect Of war, not at all
unlike the occupation by Gen Sher,
man in 1860 The streets, the ho-
tells, saloons and the highways are
filled with them. All the officers of
the garrison have been requested to
appear in fall uniform, and, while
the whole matter is farcical in the
extreme, the political effect of it
among he negroes is seen in the
swagger and bravado they now ass
sumo. 1t has gone forth among
them that the troops have been sent
here for their especial protection, to
see that the State goes for Hayes
and Wheeler and Chamberlin, and
the formidable display of the force

An assuring feature of the mill

this evening. The companies from
New York we're packed off so sud-
denly that they believed an actual

expected the train to be fired into as

PRETTY WOMEN.

OF all the beauties of nature, moth
ing is half SO pretty as the human
face and human form. We often
hear it said, in speaking of lady,
that she is as beautiful as a picture.
In all the improvements in the art
of painting, we have never yet been
able to find one that possessed q
small per cent. of the attraction of
pretty woman The perfection of
art, coupled with a fauItess taste,
never will be able to paint the
blush OF modesty or the eyes spark
ling intelligence No artist has yet
been able to paint the soul that
speaks in the pretty woman's face,
or the impulse of the heaving bosom.
When the soul is filled with holy
emotions, and the whole department
clothed with innate and spontaneous
modesty, beauty is felt, far beyond
the power Of the easel, palette and
brush. No power less than angels
could approach such picture. A
true woman has mind of beauty
from which the sparkling diamonds
of the soul, flash forth their beauty
in every feature. The true woman
is only little lower than the angels,
for the reason that angels are not
subject to fade and die, and the true
woman must pass away.

FETCH HER OUT"

In California, twenty years ago,
men would flock in crowds to catch
a glimpse of that rare and blessed
spectacle, a woman! Old inhabi-
tants tell how, in certain camp,
the news went abroad early 10 the
morning that woman was come /!
They had seen calico dress hang
ing out a wagon down at the camp
ground-sigu of emigrants from
over the great plains. Every body
went down there and a shout went
up when an actual. bona fide dress
was discovered huttering in the
wind. The male emigrant was Nisi-
BILE. The miners said: Fetch her
out ~ He said: at is my wife,
gentlemen ; she is sick ; we have
been robbed of money, provisions,
and everything by the Indians-we
want to rest" Fetch her out 7 that
was the only reply. He Fetched
her out" and they swung their hats
and set up three rousing cheers and
tiger; and they crowded around
her, aud gazed at her, and touched
her dress, and listened to her voice,
with the look of men who listened to
a memory rather at present reality ;
and then they collected $4,000 in
gold and gave it to the man, and
swung their hats again aud gave
three more cheers, and went home
satisfied.

GEORGIA CROP REPORT.

The report of the Georgia State
Commissioner Of Agriculture shows
the corn crop "a per cent better than
last year, cotton Is per cent better,
sugar cane 81 per cent, ground peas
and sweet potatoes IL per cent
The turnip crop is almost a failure
on account of the drought. Very
little small grain is sown on account
of the drought, but it is not too late
to sow yet in this climate. Cotton
picking is much further advanced
than last year. 1t is estimated that
the bulk of the crop will be gathered
by the LIST of November. So far it
is nearly all gathered in universally
good condition. Hogs have been
unusually exempt from cholera this
year, and those for slaughter THO falls
are seven per cent greater in num-
Der and better 10 quality. The stock
of hogs is generally improving. All
forage crops are saved in extra fine
condition, and nearly full supply
made. The season has been remark
ably favorable for gathering the
matOred crop, but very unfavorable
for sowing small grain.
