OF an immense stock of fashionable
clothing for men, boys and children, to

have turned out this season. 1t is safe
to assert that whenever you see any
one wearing a nice-iitting, we'll
made and cheap suit, that it comes

We have no confidence that the idea
was ever seriously entertained of MAX
ing Joe Johnston secretary of war. 1t
was illogical on the face Of it. What a
cry would have gone up all over the
Radical camp that the Union had been
disarmed, and the war material all
turned over to the keeping of one OF
the most illustrious chiefs of the late
confederacy. 1t was at best a cheap eff
fort to convince the country that from
the other side the war was over"
However, General Johnston would have
made an able secretary, and the Union
would Rave been safe in his hands.

The "newsy grasp" is all right, but
the sliding scale for political policy is
all wrong. The teachers of the people
should not preach christianity to-day,
and infidelity tomorrow. The Nc,es
says it has "long since discarded the
traditions and ideas of the defunct old
school ofjournalism, and began to reach
out into the new domain of editorial
thought and ne'esy grasp Now, that
editorial thought is bothersome. If
it includes water on both shoulders"
one side and then the other, and,
finally, exactly on the top of the fence
everybody will understand what the
News is driving at If not, the thing
will remain cloudy

Or course ii was expected that Ward,
Dewey ~ Co. would object to the State
resuming control of the penitentiary.
The GalreStonian says that Major Dewey
considers the move to dispossess them,
as contrary to justice, law and equity"
When the eastern and western peniten,
tiaries are completed the margins of the
Huntsville branch will be much mar
rowed, and it might prove good thing
to Ward, Dewey n Co., to get rid of it
now if that can be done without great
loss to them. These things are some
times blessings in disguise.

WE are disposed to do Mr.. Haye
full justice, but it will remain to be
seen if the commission which he dis
patches to Louisiana will act so as to
permit us to continue the policy. That
will be apparent when the gentlemen
composing it are announced. If such
men as Judge Davis constitute the ma
jority and the Morton element the mi.
nority, the thing may yet have its uses.

the following autograph letter from the
illustrious Patrick Henry to his child.
Captain j, NJ Williams is the fortunate
possessor:
RICHMOND, June Ii, l7sS.
M Dear ChiM--Your letter bv Mr..
Turn gave much pleasure and really
have great desire to visit YOU and
should do so but for the situation of
your poor mamma; | left her very UNI
we'll, and in day or two after came
away she was delivered of son. Your
sister, Fontaine, wrote me she was in a
good way; but from her being very un-
well for some time past, am very un-
happy lest she may not be so well. This
you may easily guess fills me with
anxiety; and added to the great weight
Of public concerns hinders me from any
peace of mind till can get home. This
| know will satisfy you for my not going
over, Your sister, Fontaine, will stay
with her, expect, and they both expect
to see you as soon as you can make it

lon. Your sisters and brothers are all
wei and, thank God, fine children.

IT is said that John Hancock, OF Tex

postmaster-general in Hayes cabinet

The Turkish Troops on the Danube

q do not wish," writes a correspond ent to the London Telegraph from Rust chuk, to boast of our troops here; their fighting hereafter will tell its own tale !; but may remark that those who believe them to be emaciated, ragged, and miser- able, are terribly deceived. am aware that it is the fashion to imagine them underfed and ill-clothed; that it is popu- larly supposed that the Turkish soldier lives like Bushman--upon what he can grub up from the ground, and that, if ever he gets full meal, it is after having gone on for long time with very poor meals indeed. But let me give you an idea of how they are kept. I will take the amount of food served on the last night for to-day's rations to the battalions of infantry here There were 5000 pounds of bread, l2,000 pounds of meat, 5,500 pounds of rice, 700 pounds of butter, and 3, 200 such like delicacies. To every horse, too, was served out pounds of barley and II pounds of hay, and this, be it remembered, was no extraordinary ration. The fact is that for the present we have plenty and to spare. though how long it will last is of course not for me to say. All I wish to remark is that at this moment we are in excellent fighting trim, and if we have no vodka to wash down the excellent bread which is served out, it is because the Turks are teetota- lers of the strictest sort and need no stimulant to make them fight we'll.

Enertive ScarecrOws.

Take two small, cheap mirrors, fasten them back to back, attach a cord to one angle and hang them to pole. When the glass swings the suns rays are refec- ted all over the field, even if it be large one, and even the oldest and bravest of crows will depart precipitately should one of its lightning flashes fall on him. The second plan, although terror to the crow, is especially well adapted to fields subject to the inroads of small birds, and even chickens. It involves the artificial hawk made from large potato and long goose and turkey feathers. The maker can exercise his initiative skill in sticking the feathers into the potato so that they resemble the spread wings and tail of the hawk. It is astonishing what ierocious looking bird of prey can be constructed from the above simple material. It only remains to hang the object from a tall bent pole and the wind will do the rest. The bird will make swoops and dashes in the most threatening manner. Even the most inquisitive of venerable hens have been known to hurry rapidly from its dangerous vicinity, while to small birds it carries unmixed. dismay. -Scientifc American.
