this identical power would be convert
into All engine of destruction to their
swn party, But SO it is, and so they
find it at this day, and hence the squeal
the piteous cry embodied in the
above statement. The increased ap-
portionment of thirty-fve representa-
tives is a Substantial contribution to
the aggregate political influence of the
South in the councils Of the nation
BY Cancellation, compromise, long
suffering and patient waiting, coupled
with conservative influence over the
negro, the Southern people have con-
verified this shrewd piece of Radical
engineering into an effective weapon OF
powerful defence. There is a silent,
conservative power in Southern civil
cation, which cannot be suppressed
by mere military force. Radicalism Is
a dead political factor with the negro
element. The day of race hates Is
fast passing away. Peace is upon the
country. In spite of Blaine and his
allies the South is determined in the
near future to assert the potentiality OF
her influence in the halls of Federal
legislation. The Radicals see the mys-
terious handwriting and quake with
fear. As the South puts on giant
let it never be used to foster
sectionalism but be used to energize 8
Union of co-equal States. Republican
ism, is a spent force-Democracy is il
its early manhood, full of power anc
destined to win further Bnd richer sub
stantial triumphs.

Sheep Instead of Dogs.

The Lynchburg Virginjon says: We
met the other day with gentleman
from Georgia who is in search of a
suitable tract of mountain land upon
which to raise sheep upon large
scale. 1t is conceded that the eastern
slopes of our Virginia mountains afford
the finest opportunities upon the con-
tinent for the prosecution of this most
profitable industry. What common
tary is it upon our want of thrift and
intelligent husbandry that no attention
whatever, except in rare instances, is
given to this subject. We raise dogs
instead of sheep; and nine in ten of
them are miserable NANCY ours at that.
Lambs six months old sell in this city
at So. In Richmond and Baltimore at
much higher figures. An ordinary
sheep will yield annually from six to
eight pounds of wool, 40 cents per
pound. Where can you point to such
profits from an industry? Why do not
our politicians instead of Grating about
the traditions of the grand old COM
monwealth crate about sheep? There
would be more common sense and real
patriotism in their orations if they
would thus crate. If there is a spec
tacle calculated to excite contempt, it
is a legislator Jealous about the State
debt and the State credit, and stupid
or too timid to exterminate the dogs
which exterminate the sheep.

The Working Man.

In large city a laboring man,
leaving a saloon, saw costly carriage
and pair standing in front, occupied by
two ladies elegantly attired, conversing
with the proprietor As it rolled
away he said to the dealer: "Whose
Is that" cit is mine" replied the
dealer, complacently- 1t cost $4,000;
my wife and daughter cannot do with
out it. The mechanic bowed his
head a moment in deep thought, and
looked sad, with the energy of a man
suddenly aroused bv some startling
flash. Il see it I see it!7 See
WHAT" queried the dealer. ''See
where, for years, my wages have gone.
Il helped pay for that carriage, for
those horses and goldEmounted har-
ness, for the silks and aces and jew
elry for your family. The money !
earned, that should have given my
wife and children a home Of our own,
and good clothing, / have spent at
your bar. My wages, and others like
me, have supported you and your fam
lily Ill luxury. Hereafter my wife and
children shall have the benefit of my
wages, and, by the help Of God, I will
never spend another dime for drink.
l see the mistake and cure for it"
How many hundreds Of mechanics
and others engaged in industrial pur.
suits are daily and nightly helping to
do just what the South describes as be
ing done by the laboring man for the
bar dealer.

4 REPUBLICAN SOUEAL.

The Republican State Convention
of Maine met last week, and re-nomi-
mated Gov. Common. Through Blaine's
influence neither Hayes nor anti
Hayes resolutions were adopted
all such were tabled for the reason
given rs follows in the words of Blaine
1--WE cannot take action either way
without offending good men and
causing needless heart-burnings and
dissensions. This radical chief feels
the force of the incoming tide of re-
awakened pacific public sentiment,
would seek shelter behind neutrality.
But in the body of the resolutions
adopted we find the following signifi-
cent Inference:
1.-THE 30 Representatives in Con
eress and 30 Electoral votes apportiOn-
ed 10 these Southern States by reason
of their colored population are thus in
vested to the sole ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF
the Confederate power in the National
Government, and the rebel soldiers in
Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi
and Louisiana are thus enabled TO ex-
ert in the administration of the Gov
eminent more than double the power
of Union Soldiers in the Northern
States"
1t is very amusing and at the same
time consOling to see how the Republi-
cans twist and squirm in the very trap
they set by which to rivet the politi-
cal aaoendency of their party upon the
Southern white population. They
supposed dat the acknowledgements OF
the negEo would prOlong Republican
Fale indefinitely in the South, and
make the whites political serfs to

Catfish and Spawn.
r. II. f, in Forest and Stream.

r. II. F., in Forest and Stream.
Among the many interesting and
instructive objects of study to be found
in the tanks of the New York aqua
rum, there Is one deserving of special
mention, the catfishes and their spawn.
The first thing the female fish does is
to discover a place suitable to deposit
the spawn, which, when done, it is left
entirely to the care of her spouse, who
digs a hole, to the bottom of which it
attaches the eggs by kind of cemeut,
and then, as stated, covers them and
keeps the water agitated by tanning it
with his fins. At the end Of the ninth
day the young fishes are seen within,
and three days later they break their
covering and come forth possessed with
all the Playfulness of sportive kitten.
For the first week or two they derive
their sustenance from the sac to which
they are attached, but when it is en-
tirelv absorbed by the little fellows.
they are in q condition to accept food
or seek it for themselves. They are
subsequently separated from their pa
rents, as it Is supposed the catfish eat
their young the same as pickerel.

Prince Bismarck Is tbs hero of the
following anecdote: ''The value Of a
good cigar" said Bismarck, els best
understood when it is the last you pos
sess, and there is no chance of getting
another. At KOnigratz l had only one
cigar left in my pocket, which I care
fully guarded during the whole battle
as miser does his treasure. l did
not feel justified in using it. Ipainted
in glowing colors in my mind the hap
ply hour when I should enjoy the vic
tory. But l had miscalculated the
chances" "And what was the cause
of your miscalculation? "a poor
dragoon- He lay helpless with both
arms crushed, murmuring for some
thing to refresh him. l felt in my
pockets and found l had only gold,
and that would be of no use to him.
But stay! / had still my treasured
cigar. I lighted it for HIM and placed
it between his teeth. Youshould have
seen the poor fellows grateful smile. 1
