SOUTHERN FAem AND HOME


A very successful plan has been tried
by placing in Mr.. Crows way a number
OF grains with a horse hair run through
them, He ia bound to swallow one, and
his note Of alarm is soOn sounded. It il
impossible for hin to dislodge the grain,
and il he can be watched for Il sufficient
length OF time, he will be seeu 10 cut his
own throat by scratching at it. His
usual note Is changed, and | can assure
you life TO him il such a misery he would
ever wish he were dead. 1t has been
noticed that after the note of alarm has
been sounded, all the crows in the
vicinity will leave that field, and ap,
preach IL no more hat season. 1t is a
simple thing, yet all who try it will find
1t a success.

The New York Graphite sounds the
note of returning confidence and a re-
vival OF business In this wise: ''The
days Of shrinkage are over. 1t is safe now
to purchase staple goods or property OF

market from this time forth

tons, will be o rising one. Those

certain to reap rich reward in the
not distant future. Donot buy trash nor is
1t wise, as yet, to invest in real estate.
Real estate is the last kind of fixed pro-

the last to feel the effects Of rising mar

RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
The COekreiI Bill-A synopsis Of Its
Provisions.

A Washington Special to the st. Louis
Republican says OF the bill recently in
troduced into the United States senate by
Mr.. Cockrell, of Missouri:
"Senator Cockrell's bill to create a
commission On the Mississippi river I'M.
provement was presented to-day and read
before the senate. 1t went to the com.
merce committee. The bill contains the
same general idea as embodied in the bill
offered in the house by MIR. Gibson.
Senator Cockrell's bill, however, is much
longer and is drawn up with more care
and with the object of covering every
point. In.short it is a bill that will not
DO open 10 contention over minor points
in the committee, but will be found tit TO
become law without being seriously
amended or changed either by the com.
mittee or in the senate.
IMPROVEMENT OF THE MIssI ssIpPI,
The bill introduced by Senator Cocks
rell to-day directs the president OF the
United States 10 appoint, subject to the
senate confirmation, five engineers to
constitute the Mississippi river improve
ment commission, whose duty 1t shall be
to make a complete survey OF the river
from st. Louis to the Cult of Mexico
and devise plans tor the permanent lOca-
ton and deepening Of its channel. and
general improvement OF its navigation.

there shall be transmitted to congress at
the commencement of each session, full
reports Of all work done and the cost
thereof and Of the progress and eff
fects OF such Improvements, together
with estimates of necessary appro-
priation for carrying them forward To
completion. The bill authorizes a pre,

the unfair tactics OF some of the Demo-
cratic papers of the district-notably the
Cairo BULLETIN--in treating Mr.. Harris
zell as out of the race:
In discussing this matter, and in an at
tempt at punning In another place, the
Clarion has perpetrated an injustice on
Hon. John Il. Oberly. That gentleman
having long been the able editor and
proprietor Of the BULLETIN, the writer
Of the article In the Clarion at the tine
II was punned and published, was not
aware that he had served his
connection Herewith. The Clar,
ion knew MIR. Oberly as gem
tleman OF ability, both as a speaker and
writer, and whose talents would entitle
him to aspire to seat to congress, when
fitting opportunity presented--and be-
lieving him to be the editor In chief of
the BULLETIN, the conclusion was jumped
at, that the BULLETIN desired Mr.. Hart.
zell out Of the ring as possible candidate;
that Mr.. Oberly might be his successor.
We have no tinc!ure of unfrien illness
toward Mr.. Oberly, nor would we inten>
ti0nally do him an injustice If we had.
The wrieer OF this article has high 0pin-
ion of the talent and ability OF that gen>
tleman, and while he disagrees with him
as to some points of political policy. he
recognizes him as leading and lnfluent>
ial Democrat, who has right to seek the
congressional nomination OF the party in
the district-equal at least, with that OF
Mr.. Hartzell or any other gentleman. In
an open letter to Mr.. Potter, published In
the BULLETIN, a few days since, and In a
private letter TO the editor of the Clarion,
MIR. Oberly states that he has no connec-
ton with the BULLETIN. and that be Is
not a candidate tor congress, nor would
he accept nomination at this time, If
rendered.
In intimating the reverse Of this, last
week, we were not actuated by any feel.
ing of unfriendliness to Mr.. Oberly. We
desired only fair treatment for Mr.. Hart
zell--that bis claims should be considered
by the Democracy OF the district on
equal footing with those Of any other as
pirants--and we are glad to know that
some one else inspired the idea that Mr..
Hartzell was ineligible for third term.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Hewitt D.HAyes and His Civil Ser.
vice Reform Blaine and the
Fishery Awards-The Army Bill
Appropriation Bills-The Mexican
President--The Washington Post
New silver Dollars.
WASHINGTON, ID. e., March l3, lS7S.-
The most interesting portion Of the
house proceedings yesterday was the
speech of Mr.. Hewitt of New York. 1t
was directed towards the
CIVIL SERVICE REFORMS
of MIR. Hayes. 1t isa speech which, II
Messrs. Hayes, Sherman and Schurz are
to play any part in the politics of the
next three years, should be read by all. 1t
was full OF points. perhaps the best OF
which was that arraigning Mr.. Hayes
for appointing to office all those who ass
sisted In the criminal acts and extra con-
stitutional methods by which he was
counted in, while refusing office to the
leaders of his own party because to re-
ward political support was demorallzing
to the civil service. By all means this
excellent speech should be circulated;
Mr.. Hewitt. however, went out OF his
way to assert that the title OF MIR. Hayes
TO the presidency was perfect. II my
memory serves me, several aspiring pol
iticians, from Maine to the south west,
have
| DAMAGED THEIR PROSPECTS
by this volunteering an uncalled for de.
fence OF that title. tits safe for Demo-
Gratis to leave such defence to Republic
cans.
Senator Blaine made the first formal
assault upon the
FISHERY AWARDS.
His speech was long, earnest, ingenious,
and showed capacity for mastering de-
tails on comparatively new subject, tina
l had not given the senator credit for.
Like the position assumed by him on the
silver bill, however, his proposition,
which looks to an ultimate refusal to pay
the award, is one that will have few
friends. We must pay that money and
then see that we arc not caught again.
On last "Wednesday
THE ARMY BILL,
being Banning's bill amended, was re-
ported TO the house. The following is
an abstract Of its material features. g.
Before July /, 1878, the number OF en-
listed men shall be reduced 10 20,OOO.
There shall be SIX cavalry regiments,
three artillery regiments and fifteen in>
fantry regiments. The bureau of mill.
tary justice Is abolished. The quarter
masters department and the subsist ence
department. are abolished, aud q depart

number q their officers, and further ap-
pointuents in
