A HeaIthY PuIse south.

Boston Transcriptl-T Throughout
the entire South it is not difficult to
discover a better state of feeling
than has existed at any time since
the destruction of the Rebellion.
Everywhere a perceptible softening
of the bitterness which has prevailed
for years makes itself manifest, and
the South begins to look as if enter
tanning the same fraternal sentiment
as dominates the North. The dead
level of opinion has begun to fade
away, and indications increase that
hereafter there is to be aShealthy op-
position to the plans of the leaders
who have recently had their own way
in the Southern States generally.
This gratifying change has been pro
duced as a natural effect of remov-
ing the causes of discord and hatred
by the President of the United
States. All accounts go to show
that Southern men, feeling their po-
sit:On in the Union assured, and IN
accompanied by any odious disabili-
ty, are turning their attention to
business and leaving politics alone,
as has not been the case for many
years in their history. This must
tell upon the general prosperity of
the country, and strengthen the ad-
ministration with the people of all
sections of the Union.

Partiesin ohio.

New York HeraId.-Our special
dispatch from Cincinnati foreshad-
ows the platforms upon which the
two parties will present their candi-
dates to the people of Ohio. 1t will
be found that in the main the decla
rations will be- the same on both
sides, and but the for cbeapluxury of
denouncing the fraudulent character
of Presidents Hayes election, in
which the Democrats Will indulge,
the several candidates might change
sides without any loss of principle
We are not disposed to place reli-
.anee on the rumors of Republican
detection in Ohio. The people of
that State are thrifty, and the Re
publican portion of them will do
their best in the first election since
the Presidential contest to prove
that they deserve some considera-
tiUn at the hands of the Administra-
ton. mall probability the election
will be decided more by the person
al character of the candidates put in
nomination than by the principles
advanced on their behalf.

A SENSIBLE WORD FOR GIRLS "A
girl who makes herself too cheap is
one to be avoided. No young man,
even the worst, excepting for a base
purpose, wants anything to do with
a cheap young lady. For q wife,
none but a fool or rascal will ap-
proach such q woman. Cheap Jew
elry nobody will touch if he can get
better. Cheap girls are nothing but
the refuse and the young men know
it, and they viii look in another di-
rection for a lifelong friend and com
pauion before they will give a glance
at the pinchbeck stuff that twinkles
at every turn for fascinating the "eye
of any that will look. You think it
quite the correct thing to talk loud
" and coarsely, be bOisterous and
hoydenish in all public places f; to
make yourself so bold and for
ward and commonplace, everywhere,
that people wonder if you ever had
a mother, or home, or anything to
do. So be it. You will probably be
taken for what you are worth, and
one of these years, if you do not
make a shipwreck of yourself,
you will begin to wonder where the
charms are that once you thought
yourself possessed of, and what evil
spirit could have befoOled you. Go
on but remember, cheap girls at
tract nobody but fools and rascals.

Senator Stanley Matthews is con
fdent of a Republican victory in
Ohio this fall. He says there is not
the slightest doubt about the result
of the election, and that the Re
publicans are certain to carry net
only the gubernatorial, but the leg
islative ticket. The silver question
will absorb all other issues in the
campaign, but the Republican Con
vention will adopt as plank in
the platform a resolution declaring
in favor of the remonetization of
silver, which will be acceptable to
all Republicans disposed to be dissat-
isfed on account of the financial
outlook.

American Inventive Pro-
gTeSS.

Under the above heading the Scientific Amcri-
can Of May 7th has long and interesting article,
from which we make the following extracts:
To show with what rapdity inventors made i'm
pruvemeuts on inventions emh0dying original prlu-
cpes says the writer, &c may be noted that iu the
early DAYS of the sewing machine ll6 patents were
granted for improvements thereon in single year;
and out of the 2,91O patents issued in the year
1857, 152 were for improved COttOn-gins and
presses, l64 for improvements on the steam en-
ginc, and i9S for novel devices relating TO rail-
roads and improvements in the rolling stock. IN
the year ISIS, three years after the publication OK
this paper was commenced, but 600 patents wer-
granted; but under the stimulus of publishing
those inventions as they were patented, ten years
later in 1858, the number had increased slNt1ld
reaching no, while up TO January I, 1850 as al
ready stated, the aggregate of patents issued
amounted 20 II ,4dI; since that time and up % the
present the total is Sl,Ol5.
And curiosity here leads us adds the editoT 90
review our own work, extending back, say, TWEEN
" years, or to 1877 period during which 49, 90
patents have been issued. We find, by actual
count that g., ,0J2 applications have been through
the Scientific American Patent Agency for Patents
I'm the United States and abroad. This averages
almost ten applications per day, Sundays excluded,
over the entire period and EeIrs tIc relail1u ol
more tuan one quarter to the total number o.
patents issued ia tbs couutrs mp 20 the time Of
writing.

The Lebanon Star of last week
celebrates its 72d birthday by com
ing out in quarto form Of 8 pages,
and considerably enlarged. The
Star, under the management of its
present proprietor, Mr.. W. c. Nc
ClintoclI, is a lively and well conduct
ed, paper, and deserves a generous
support from the Republicans of
Warren county. The effort about
being made to "run out" the old
Star, by establishing a new RepubE-
can paper, will no doubt fail, as all
such efforts ought to do.

A TRUE PHILANTHRoPIsT.-General
Sanford, of Florida, has imported a
large number of lemon trees from
Sicily, which have borne nut, and it
proves to be equal to that grown in
Sicily. The Florida native lemons
are said to be too large and coarse
for the market. Gen. Sanford has
also imported olive trees and pine
apple plants from their native lands,
in order to test them in Florida soil.
He intends to let the public take
buds and cuttings from his for
sign trees at the proper time, to
propagate from them.

The Philadelphia Times, in the
true philosophic spirit, rebukes the
people OF Pennsylvania for their
complaints against Hayes because of
his having rewarded with office a
few of his Ohio friends, and in sup
port of the theory that Ohio is still
short some four or five thousand of
her due proportion of the offices,
gives the following facts
Thirteen Pennsylvania clerks
sweat their brows in the office of
Secretary Thompson, which affords
room for only a single Buckeye. Of
the assistant surgeons in the army
Ohio has furnished but two, but
Pennsylvania has thirty. In the pay
department of the army-which is a
very soft place Just nOw-Pennsyl-
vania has provided for thirteen Of her
sons, while Ohio has squeezed in only
eight. But it is in the navy that
the great State of the interior is
most shamefully neglected. Only
five engineers claim a residence in
Ohio, while sixty-One owe allegiance
to the Keystone State, and then re
marks: This being the real con
dition of affairs, every lover Of fairplay
should rejoice that Ohio has at last
got a President DE FACTo, and we
are not at all certain that he ought
not to make it his first business to
turn out enough men to give Ohio

Boston Transcript (Rep.)-A con-
siderable number of independent
Democrats think President Hayes is
good enough Democrat for them.
Nine tenths of the Republican party,
at least, believe that Hayes is sufi-
GENTLY Republican on all the vital
questions for the country's best in
terests. He is opposed by only the
blatant politicians Of both parties.
So that the masses of the people are
in his favor "by a large majority"
