A New Man.

They got a new man on the Chicago
Tribune. He is a college graduate, and
they put him in with a salary of 5000
a year as managing editor. "Ofcourse,"
he said, "my culture and self-respect
forbid that should squander my intel
lectual wealth on matters of news, con-
ventions, murders, and the like. They
are vulgar and evanescent. Thought
-Mind-Culture, these alone are pure,
lofty, and eternal. Nor should L care
to write miserable, partisan editorials,
bartering my God-given independence
for the approving grin of a gauger or
an alderman" And so it was he took
charge. Almost instantly a man APP
peared and asked for copy. "Ha,"
said the new editor, 'let me see. These
articles on THE Southern Policy and
The Next Session are ephemeral-put
them in the waste basket. This con-
tains fearful disclosures of political
corruption-that tends to debauch and
sicken the sensitive mind. Oh! this
essay on 'Hyperbolic Hydrogyny' from
Psychic Quarterly-put that in; the
eminent minds of Boston will read it
with delight. / will write a review of
it. Do You want any more?" "Well
not at present; that will make twenty
seven columns" Then people came in
to ask what was the meaning Of various
articles in the paper, and they appeared
to be angry people, too. The new edi-
tor has resigned. Philadelphia Press.

Two State Conventions met yester-
day, one Democratic In Mississippi.
the other Republican in Ohio. The
former was called to order by General
George, an sx-Confederate. who eulo-
gized the administration of President
Hayes. This is nothing more than
was expected. as the policy of the Ad-
ADMINISTRATION had restored quiet to the
South and disbsnded the Republican
party 10 that section. leaving the DEM
ocracy in absolute possession.
In Ohio the Rev. Gen. Garfield, an
ex.minister of the gospel and Union
soldier, was elected permanent Chair
man of the Convention. He was one
OF the loudest bloody shirt orators in
ths last campaign, and advocated the
principal that white people in the
South had no rights that Republican
Administration ought to respect. But
he is an able strategest, whose con-
science never hesitates when personal
interests are involved. and the moment
the Administration withdrew Its sup.
port from Chamberlain and Packard,
he lowered the bloody standard.
burned his campaign speeches and en-
dorsed the course of the President.
He also eulogised the Administration
for giving the lie to his last years
speeches in Congress and on the
stump. and breaking up the Republic
cap party in the South, and unites
with the Confederate brigadiers in
praise of Hayes. The telegraph leaves
us 10 doubt as to whether the conven-
ton endorsed the policy of the Admin
istration against the protests of the
Ben Wade Republicans. bat the choice
of Garfield for Chairman indicates that
. majority Of the delegates were Hayes
Republicans.

Colonel Weller, the new President of

ent of boarding house influences. This
virtually dethrones one of the queens

THE INDEPENDENT PARTY.

Senator Davis, ofIllinois, sent the follow.
ing letter to F. H. Dewess, Of Pottaville, Pa,
iu relation to proposed labor reform con-
vention.
DEAR Sin: have had the honor to re-
ceive your letter of the Sd inst. Any move
ment for national convention such Is you
suggest should emanate directly from the
people and be entirely free from the influence
or counsel of members Of congress. Enter
tanning this view, it would be indelicate in
me to take any part in the proposed conven-
ton. Measures are now pending before con.
gress intended to correct some Of the evils
under which the country is suffering. The
extraordinary spectacle is presented to the
world Of three elements of national currency,
gold, greenbacks and silver. each having
. different value, and the two last depre-
cisted BY legislation procured in favor Of the
FIRST. The injustice of this discrimination
need not be discussed, for it is unexampled
distress all over the land. Honor requires
Us to keep faith with the public creditors to
the last letter Of the law, but it also demands
that faith shall be kept with the people upon
whom falls the burden of taxation and the
duty of fidelity to national obligations
Every measure calculated to bring about q
sound and uniform currency, and to wipe
out the distinctions which favor one portion
of the community at the cost of the rest,
shall receive my cheerful and earnest sup.
port. With much respect,
DAVID DAVIS.

A Romantic Career.

Miss Cora Dickson, aged %, arrived
in Paris the other day from South
America. Her life thus far has been
checkered one. At the age of Is,
tired of the monotony of home, she
ran away from her fathers house with
a large sum of money. She cut her
hair short and donned boys garb.
After becoming in succession cabin
boy, s. clerk, householder, she turned
up in Buenos Ayres, where she entered
the army still disguised. She dlstin-
guished herself in the service, and be-
came colonel. Some months ago,
at a meeting of officers, she quarreled
with one Of those present. A duel fol-
lowed, and she killed her adversary.
On examining the dead mans papers
she found that she had killed her Oldest
brother, who had left home when she
was two years of age. Horror-stricken,
she threw herself at the Bishops feet,
who promised to intercede with her
father.-EGch07aoe

An American Eaten by Cannibals.

Advices recently received, says the
San Francisco Call, IN this city, noted
the death of DR.. w. II. James, on the
Island of Papua, or New Guinea, at
the hands of cannibals. DR.. James
will probably be remembered by old
residents of San Francisco as assistant
at the county hospital, with which in
stltutiOn he was connected from 1856
to 1858. He afterward went over to
Washoe, and practiced his profession
in Gold Hill for several years. When
the White Pine fever broke out he was
among the thousands who focked to
that argentiferous locality. Afterward
he went to Nye county, from which
he was elected to the Nevada legisla-
ture. Two years ago ne returned to
this city, but finding no opportunity to
practice his profession, he sailed for
Australia. The melancholy news just
received is the first information his
friends have had about him since he
left, and the account of his death was
received by all who knew him, both
here and in Nevada, with deep regret.
The doctor was attached to an ex-
ploring expedition, which was endeav-
oring to explore the island, and he,
with companion, became separated
from it. They were then surrounded
by savages and killed and eaten. New
Guinea is one of the laroe islands of
the world, with an area Of some $780,
600 square miles, and is one of the few
places left for the adventurous to ex-
plore. Several attempts have been
made to penetrate the mysteries of the
island, but, with one exception, every
expedition has been baffled by the re-
sistance of the ferocious natives, and
DR.. James is not the only one who has
lost his life In attempting 10 go into

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Manure.

When properly Uttered, one COW or
OK will make a ton of manure every
month, if the liquid as well as the solid
portion is saved. Ten head would shus
make 100 tons, or sixty two-horse wagon
loads IN year. A hundred sheep, if
yarded every night and well Uttered,
will make one hundred tons of manure
in the year, and ten pigs will work up a
wagon load In a month, if supplied
with sufficient coarse material. The
stock of a 1OO-acre farm, which should
consist of as least ten head of steers,
heifers, and calves, pair Of horses,
100 sheep, and ten pigs, would then
make In an aggregate, 312 tons of man
ure every year, or sufficient to give
twelve tons per acre every fourth year.
If this were well cared for, it would be.
In fact, equal to double the quantity of
ordinary yard manure; and if plenty of
swamp muck could be procured, at
least SIX hundred tons of the best man
ure could be made on 1OO-acre farm.
If this were the rule instead of s. rare
exception, or only a possibility, what O.
change would appear upon the face of
the country, and what an addition
would be made to the wealth of the
