A HUSBANDS LOvE.-A pretty,

the Magistrate. "Is there no one in

No response was given for few
moments, when q handsome. welLknit

Impotent Malignity.
fAlbany Argus.1


There need be no apprehension
about any effor. to start again what
even John Sherman called 1.-The histo-
ry of bell" iu the South. Half of this
Congress lie Democratic. Both houses
of the next will be. The incumbency
of Democratic governments in the
South frees them from army thugs as
completely as the North is. Any
small edition Of bloody-shirtism
through the fraudulent Attorney Gen.
erars Office will be efectually defeat
ed, as we have shown. The whole
furry has mighty little 10 it.; what
there is is wholly Ineffective, and all
the result reached has been such q
manifestation of impotent malignity
on the part of portion Of the Re.
publican party, that the humane aud

The Solid South.

That the eleven Southern States
have gone wholly anti.republicsn, eve
~ news item by telegraph received
tends to show. The spectacle Of a
whole section of the Union solid in its
politics is to everybody impressive,
and to some extent alarming Those
whom it alarms do not trace The facts
to their causes. Exactly that has SOL
idi6ed the South which would have
solifed the North and West-union of
all the honest and responsible Gle.
ments of society against di-honest
government. If there was. 10y hon.
est republicanism in the, South. it
would have an effective following.
There is none. 1t has no effective fol-
lowing. If everything that is knavisb
led everything that is ignorant 10 De-
mocracy or Republicanism in any
Northern or Western State, every
thing that is intelligent would band
against it. Society will not commit
suicide or be slaughtered. 1t will
preserve itself with what is destruc-
tive there. The former forces are in
the paiori,y. aud win. The latter are
in a minority. and lose. Reasonable
readers should make the mark broad
and strong between the republicanism
of the South and that of every part Of
the country. The solidi,y Of the anti
republicanism of the South is the con-
dition of civilization there. 1t is a
fact for hope and congratulation. So
soon as an opposition to Democracy in
the South can be formed which has
room enough in it for the action Of
honest and intelligent men, there will
be ground for expecting the politics 81
that section to be marked by :bc same
divisions which are bealthful to other
localities. The inveighing Of North.
ern republican papers and speakers
against the solid South is attributable
to ignorance or wickedness. Any
Northern republican who has honesty
enough here not to have society closed
to him. as certain tboroughfares were
to Richard Swiveller. because of hi;
debts, would be made into Democra,
by three months residence in The
South. The sample of Southern re
publicans presented to American at
tention have been Wells, Anderson
Kellogg, Packard, Chamberlain, Kimp
ton. Moses. Hurley. Leslie. Stearns
McLin, Cowgil, Clayton and Spencer
whose counterparts are called crimi
nails everywhere else around tb'

TREMENDOUS FARMING.
The Largest Farm in the World
Dalrymple's Dakota Acres.

Let our readers imagine, II they can.
one undivided estate of fifty thousand
acres, extending twelve miles along
the fertile bottom lands of most
beautiful river, snd then back into the
interior eleven miles more. the whole
covering an area of over thirty square
miles. and they will acquire some idea
of the broad acres ruled by this farmer
prince. Of this, twenty thousand
acres were this year sown in wheat,
which has just yielded two hundred
and fifty thousand bushels as reward
for the husbsndman's toll, for this is
the wheat that was sown in good
ground, and yielded all of it q hundred
fold. The soil of this Red River
farm is peculiarly rich. and adapted to
the production of just the cereal cult
vated. The upper surface is an allu-
vial deposit Of great fertility, under
which is q deposit of mari, containing,
in lerge quantities. just The phosphateS
and silicates needed in the formation
of the berry and the stalk of wheat.
! In fact, i, seems as though the Creator
had especially designed this section Of
the country as the wheat garden of
the world, which, like the coal-6elds,
has been undergoing a change, that
it might finally afford sustenance to
so many millions of his $50 OF
course. it would be impd u D ope-
rate such a farm from o1 0eadquor-
tiers, so the land is app ioned into
subdivisions of two thousand acres
each, every one of which ia presided
over by superintendent. whois under
the direction and orders of Mr.. Dal-
rymple. He hires what men be re-
quires and discharges them for cause.
Each chief overseer has Q very nice
house, in most cases handsomely fitted
up, and in several instances in most
excellent taste. Near the superintend.
ent's house is where all the bar.
vesters board. Back of these build.
ings are located the granaries and sta.
bles aud q little further removed the
machine shops. engine rooms and
wind mile. All the buildings follow
a plain but quite attractive style of ar
cbitecture, and answer every purpose
intended. Each subdivision has the
same set of buildings, and is operated
in quite the sar,e way. To run the
farm it requires the services of foul
hundred aud fifty men and over three
hundred horses and mules to keeI
the accounts. three book-keepers ar.
kept constantly busy. and two cash
iers have little time to loaf around
during working hours. Water il

ROMANCE OF YELLOW FEvER.-One
of the thousand and one tragic Incl.
dents of the great plague happened at
Holly Springs, Mississippi. few days
since. A beautiful young lady of New
Orleans was forced by her father to
marry an old man she could not love-
Preferring death to slavery, the young
lady ran away and gave her services
as nurse to the fever-stricken of Holly
Springs. After a few days of devoted
attention to the sick, she was herself
stricken. There was q male nurse for
her. There was no female hand to
soothe, with its gentle touch, the fe-
vered brow. But the noble Ridley
was there to perform, the last sad off,
ces to the dying girl. Towards the
last she said to him: Kiss pe." AS
Ridley kissed her on the cheek, she
exclaimed: kiss my lips" which be
did. She then said: "You are the
