nected with the murder Of Republican
election supervisor in one Of the Albermarle

the purpose of discrediting him as n wit

insist that we have proved our side Of the
case. The Observer does not, cannot truth
fully, deny the murder alluded to, nor the
fact that the unfortunate man was ASST

taking Republican tickets to the polls.

A PLEA FOR THE FELON.

1t is not strange that the Democratic
organ at the National Capital occupies the
best part of column of its valuable space
in plea for mercy for the ex-convict JoHN
O'CoNSoR, for he is Democratic states
man of Ohio, and then, as usual, "a fellow
feeling makes us wOndrous kind" The
| truth is, OCONNOR, besides being Demo
cratic convict us well as statesman, is an
arrant and unblushing demagoguc-other-
wise the Republicans would have been un-
willing TO deny him mercy. II was because
| he came into the State Legislature through
Democratic votes, chiefly awarded to him
because lie was maletactor, and after gain
ing his seat there acting the rampant and
Inscriptions partisan, that the Republicans
| literally drove him out of it with obloquy.
He deserves no pity. He was the foremost
! in diSOrgInHlng the elcemOsynary institu-
tions of his State in order 10 make places for
| Democratic dcad-brats. The tried and
skillful specialists in charge of the insane,
the deaf and dumb and kindred asvlums
who had been undisturbcd under former
Administrations Of both parties, were ruth
lcssly displaced, and their places given to
persons without experience and skill
In this sort Of work, as in the preliminary
steps to accomplish the infamous gerry
mandcr of the Congressional districts of the
State, JoHN OCoNNoR, the ex-c0nvict, was
ovcr-zealous and olteusively oflicious. 1t is
therefore absurd to speak of him us a re-
formed criminal. His purposes and acts
were in u direct line with those which sent
him to the Michigan ponitentiary, and
there is not the slightest evidence that he
ever attempted to reform or lead better

Ginger.

The ginger plant has a reed-like stem,
which generally reaches three or four
feet in height and is invested with the
smooth sheaths of the leaves. The
flowers are not produced on the leafy
stems, but on short, leafless stems, in
spikes about the size of mans thumb,
and are of whitish color, the lips
streaked with purple. The root-stocks
which form the ginger of commerce are
from one-quarter to One-half inch thick,
knotty, fibrous and fleshy when fresh.
The stem dies annually, while the root
continues two years. The roots are dug
up when about a year old, and in the
West Indies usually in January and Feb
ruary, after the stems have withered
They are well washed, freed from dirt,
and in some cases, especially with the
better kinds, the outer coat of the root
is stripped off, and thus arises the di-
vision of ginger into white, scraped or
uncoated, and into black, unscraped or
coated.
The varieties of ginger which enter
into commerce are Jamaica, Cochin,
Brazil, and Africa. The first three are
scraped gingers, the last named is
coated. Jamaica ginger is the sort most
esteemed, and next to it the Cochin. In
the West Indies ginger is propagated
by division of the root, the smaller
pieces or protuberances being set, each
of which throws up two different stems,
the leaf stalk and the flower stalk. The
land having been well cleared and
trenched, the ginger is planted about
March orlApril; it rises to its height and
flowers about September, and fades
again toward the end of the year. When
the stalks are wholly withered the root
is thought to be full grown and fit TO dry.
The larger spreadingroots are generally
called "hands" or races" and will
occasionally weigh half pound. In
1874 there were 1856 acres under culture
with ginger in Jamaica, and the aver
age crop for many years may be taken
at ZOO, 900 to 100000 pounds. Gin
ger is a good deal grown in China, and
largely used in its fresh state as con-
diment and in medicine. Preserved
ginger is prepared by securing the
roots while they are yet tender and full
of sap, and by putting in jars and Gov
ering with sirup, which after being
changed several times is ready for ship
ment.
In order TO improve the color of gin

Interesting Discovery in Portland.

The Portland (Me.) Press of the l1th
inst says: "Robert Nj. McCrindle, a
workman employed in digging drain
near the transfer station, yesterday
came upon collection of bones, lying
in the upper clay and fine sand of the
post-pliocene deposits. Mr.. G. b. Full
Ter was called, and took charge of the
bones, which he pronounces those of a
walrus. The bones found are the skull,
scapule, ribs, and few vertebre.
Near the bones were found fragments
of pOst-pliOcene shells, and inter-
mingled with them a black substance,
which Mr.. Fuller thinks may be re-
mains of the soft parts of the animal.
No careful examination of the bones
has yet been made, and it is quite inn
possible to tell whether they are of an
extinct or living species Of catacea.
This is the first discovery of the sort in
this vicinity, though similar remains
have been found near Montreal in the
post-pliocene formation. The post
pliocene is the most modern Of the
geologic deposits, being overlaid only
by the alluyium or drift"

Sand Bathing at Ocean Grove.

The pleasures of surf bathing have
declined under the influence Of low
temperature, and the people on the
beach have introduced the fashion of
sand baths, now so popular along the
coast. The manner of the sand bath is
peculiar. A trench is dug in the damp
sand near the ocean, and the SUMS rays
are allowed To pour into it until the
sand becomes almost hot. The bather
then reclines in the trench and an at
tendant covers him with sand until he
looks like terrapin. The bathers say
that three such baths will cure rheuma-
tism.
