A PICTURE OF GEN. ZACHARY TAY-
LoR.-General James Shields thus dcs-
cribes the first interview with Gen.
Taylor: Il was sent with my brigade to
report to him on the Rio Grande. After
getting my command into camp, l put
on the most snowy uniform had and
spent much time in rigging myself up TO
do honor to such an occasion as the
meeting with the commander-in chief OF
the army of occupation. Arrived at
headquarters l inquired for General
Taylor, and was shown into tent by
the orderly, who went away to an
nounce Inc. Presently entered hard
featured but still very benevolent-faced
man, quite understood, who, from his
appearance, would easily have been ia
ken for wagner. A great Topping
straw hat crowned his head, he had no
collar, linen coat, and the coarse pan
falcons be wore had no suspicion of
rank about them, and his unstockinged
feet were covered by common infantry
shoes. While was trying out in my
mind what this apparition could be, he
grasped my hand and heartily exclaim-
ed, I'm very glad to see you here, Gen.
Shields, and will cut out some work
for your command before long And
this was actually, General Zachary Tay-
lor, one of the bravest, kindest and no
blest of men that ever lived"

who gave most glowing description of

Beauty i'm the Surf.

The brilliant discovery that women
could battle without making herself hide
Gus was made by the ingenious woman
of France-the homo of the opera bouffe.
Undoubtedly the style of dress which
prevails on the opera bouffe stage sug-
gested the pattern Of bathing dress which
has this season become popular at Long
Branch and Newport, and which marks
the beginning of a new period in bathing
dresses. The blouse has been superced-
ed by short sleeved and low necked
garment, closely fitted about perfora-
ted whatever that may be. The
trousers have given way to what may
be described as knickerbockers, supple
mented with stockings of dazzling splen-
dor, and an additional garment, which
is something between a short skirt and
broad ribbon, encircling the waist.
The dress is completed by PAIR of can
vas shoes and dainty hat, and instead
of Transforming Venus into a burIesque
Minerva, it justifies the plainest women
in inviting the kisses of the sea. That
1T will not only drive out the blouse and
trousers, but utterly Danish their pre-
pOsterous memory, may be safely as
sumed. 1t fulfills all the conditions of
an ideal bathing dress, and a century
hence painters, instead of representing
angels as winged women in cambria
dressing gowns, will paint them in bath
ng-dresses, passing over the waves like
a new species of aquatic butterflies 49,. New

ToombS ON the Negro.

In his speech at Atlanta, Georgia, gu
Friday, August 9th, Robert Toombs
said "And, talking of negroes, under
stand them. | owned five hundred of
them before the war. They knew what
sort of master they had, ana in my coun-
try never lose one Of their votes. But
| do say they know nothing about gov
eminent. | remember that some fel-
low from somewhere about Cherokee
i believe his name was Wotford-
made a great TODD because | said they
were savages. They are-just as much
as those who came over IN the Wanderer
to Savannah before the war They are
OF the human race, but they are not OF
my race. They are OF a lower order of
human beings God Almighty made
them, but he made them Just as He
makes other things in nature. he made
the race horse, the draught horse, and
He made the iackass-and He made
fools IN our own race. We whipped the
Radicals in their own tight when they
first tried Ia force the negro upon us.
Ii was SAID that threw the whole Yam
kee nation into trepidatlon' because |
said if they would let me make the con
stitution the negro would never be
heard of. That is sn. But an this con
stitution | take away none of his rights.
That is a matter for society. Va ex.
clude only idiots and thieves. Nobody,
1 hold, should have the franchise except
those who are tit tor it, and that - what
your constitution has provided Tor.
That rs the constitution which Georgia
will live under when you and your pos
terity are gone. You have shut out the
women, but you have done that on what
l conceive to be right principle. The
brave soldier does not carry his jewels
into battle, and it is our duty to keep
purity, virtue and honor ont of the
ring"

The Speakership from the Standpoint of a
Professional Guerrilla.

Sam Cox would make the most accom-
plished speaker, could he have as much
lead in his heels as genius in his brain,
were he member of Mrs. Rutherford
b. Hayes Temperance association; were
he little sincere-more sedate With
a few additional qualities, such as the
above, he would make a first class
speaker.
Milton Say.er would make an honest,
conservative, ''Old Reliable" sort OF
speaker. Being from Ohio hurts him
with the house, and in view Of the prev
alence Just now in the political market
of OHIO pork, from the White House
down to the sergeant alarms Of the
house, it will hurt really good man
with the nation. Only one created be
ing on earth was ever benefited by be
ing born in a stable
Sam Randall would make a shiftv, go
to-hell sort of speaker, with mouth
full OF white teeth and brain full Of
subtlety. There are worse men, though,
than Sam Randall. Most of them in iail,
however
Tornado Wood would make a dignifi
I'd old Turveydrop sort of a speaker
He is an "Old Mustache" OF the empire,
though, and these are the halcyon days
of the republic.
n. T. Banks would make a good
speaker If he hadn't that "mysterious
carriage of the body to conceal the de-
fects of the mind, which men call digni-
ty." We quote Montague. 70 use
slang-to which we are averse in dis
cussing classics and fine old ruins

has been doing for twenty years.

No Premium for Fruit.

SALINA, Sept. Sth.
EDIToRs JOURNAL: | AIN greatly in
favor OF county fairs and would like to
see them a success, so of course | read
the premium list in your last issue. But
how disappointed | was ia not seeing
fruits mentioned in the whole list. Is it.
possible that fruit raising is not worth
encouraging, or have the officers of that
concern eat so much rabbage, potatoes,
pumpkins and squashes that their heads
are entirely made up of such material,
so they can't appreciate fine peach, a
good apple or a luscious blackberry or
raspberry.
We had made arrangements to pre-
serve some specimens of budded peach
80 that those affirming that budded
peaches would not grow here, or If they
did, was not so good a. seedlings, might
see their mistake. But az fruits are not
invited there, | suppose very little, if
any, will make its appearance.
