Those who have the best reason to
be appalled, by the Grecnback uprising
in Maine are the thoughtful and honest
Democrats who have remained in their
party and acted with it, hoping against
hope that it would some day he rcor-

GEN. Buffers analysis of the results
Of the Maine election is important and
valuable, because Butler probably
knows as much about the sort of mis-
chief that has been going on in Maine
as anybody else, for he has been in the
thick Of it himself, and has helped raise
the storm that has struck the Republi-
can party in Maine so badly, while it

y Rochester y. Y. journal publishes a
petition Of i private letter from clergy
man at jackson. in this diocese, regarding
the course of the yellow fever in its vicinity
from which the following is taken, describ.
ing the condition OF Grenada
Poor Grenada two weeks ago was a flour
ishing little town of some ,. 600 people
Now It is almost bl"tted out OF existence
IL was a pretty place. full of flowers, with
many pretty houses, nicely kept grounds,
many happy families. and full Of generosity
for when the fever became bad i'll New
Orleans and the people there began To seek
refuge and were uuarIutiucd out of many
places. the people of Grenada held meet
Iugs and sent an invitation to New Orleans
telling the panic stricken people there to
come To them. They opened every house,
providing against cxtnrtiun, and subjected
themselves to crOwdIng and all anuoyances
not for profit, but for humanity The
yellow fever had never visited Grenada.
and they were confident that il could not
gain a foothoId among them. But one
sunday morning they were struck as if by
lightning. Before Monday morning many
were dead. On the next sunday there were
but fourteen well white persons left, and
and now but five or SIX. Even the nurses
and physicians sent from Memphis and
New Orleans fell victims, aud some of them
though long accustomed To the disc lse, fled
in terror. Many died through lack of at
teIition. In two houses, close together
lived two families, one of seven and one Of
nine persons. some were taken sick, then
others, aud finally all of both families, and
when discovered the next day il was too
late to do more than close their ewes and
bury them. One gentleman living in Holly
Springs heard that some Of his father
family were sick and FASTENED to them
There were eleven in that family. Before
four O'Clock the next day he had laid out
seven with his own hands without help.
II In nothing is the march of the world
progress more noticeable than in the in
creased aud increasing value of time. We
cannot suppose that Robinson Crusoe's
time or that of his man Friday could have
been Of much Importance while on the
Island OF Juan Fernandez. But, in these
hurrying days, the merchant in the count
ing room, the conductor on his railroad
train, the coachmau IN the stable and the
school boy At his lessons need accurately
the time - day, and need a good watch to
tell 1t. The poorest economy is tn have
poor watch. The wisest investment Of
watch money is To get WAITHAM Buy

A CHILD ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS fol-
Warded to tile Parish Judge by Justice
Garig of the eighth ward bring infor-
nation of a mysterious affair, indica-
ting that an inhuman crime has been
committed in that locality. On the
9th inst, Mr.. G. b. Webb, while fish
ing ID Bayou Manchac, near Hamp-
toms ferry, discovered the head of an
infant floating in the water, and two
days after, near the same spot, Mr..
B. L. Sholar, the ferryman, found the
legs and lower portion of a body, evil
IDENTIFY being part of the child to
which the head belonged. An inquest
was held, Justice Garig. acting as Cor
oner, aud the verdict of the jury was
that the death of the child had been
caused by criminal violence at the
hands of some party or parties un-
known, and the remains thrown into
the bayou to CONCEAL the csfmess The
finding was predicated mainly upon
post norton examination held BY
DR.. j.. s. GaidueT on East Baton
Rouge parish, who certifies as follows:
Upon examination | found the occipital
bone fractured and some OF the Fragments
turned inward, a. if produced by the blow
of a narrow instrument. The left partial
bone was also rent in twain as If severed
by the edge Of Il heavy knife. The skin
around tho neck had also been severed BIZ
