New Orleans Democrat.
A large meeting of the colOred
people of the Seventh Ward was held
in st. Margaret's Hall, on Tonti, be-
tween Onzaga and Abadie streets.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of determining upon the future
political course to he pursued by the
colored voters of the Seventh Ward.
1t was well attended, and Il deep
interest was manifested by parties
present. The following preamble
and resolutions were adopted.
Whereas, the colOred people of
this ward have heretofore voted
with and steadily adhered to the
Republican party, believing ITS prin-
ciples to be in accordance with the
spirit of progress and civil liberty,
and its oft repeated declarations of
true friendship toward It's then were
made in candOr and sincerity; and
Whereas, the acts upon the part
of X. b. Hayes toward IA people to
whom he owes his present position,
constitute contemplate and unpre-
cedented work of treachery and cow
ardice. without parallel in the histo-
ry of the party III any county; there
fore, be it
Res0lred, That, while we accord
full credit to the Republican party OF
the nation for what it accomplished
while under tie leadership of true
and patriotic men, we do hereby re,
pudiate and denounce the conduct
of the said II. b. Hayes as being
mean, cowardly, dishonest and UNI
natural; and we do also as earnestly
repudiate and denOunce the equally
mean, cowardly and cringing acqui-
escence of the Republican press and
party in the said action of the said
self-confessed usurper; and we dc
hereby feel it to he orr duty as col
ored men tn withdraw from party
| which has declared to the world
that the principles it has contented
for have been wrong.
That we do hereby renounce our
allegiance to the said Republican
party, believing it tn he no longer
worthy of our trust and confidence
That we do hereby sever our con-
nection with the Republican party
and place ourselves, as IN organiza-
ton, directly under the jurisdiction
of the regular Democratic party d

Dried Fruit.

The demand for dried fruits has
been SO stimulated since the Arneri-
can plan of hot-air drying has been
perfected, that these products are
now transported over the civilized
world, but especially to those cOun-
tries where fruit is not generally
raised, and to newly settled colo
MES, particularly mining ones.
Dried fruits are now largely used
during all long sea voyages. Be
tween October last and April LIST,
England took over 10000 bushels,
principally dried apples and peaches.
In fact, the industrial population of
England, Germany and Astralia, are
the chief buyers of these produc-
tons.
nhe immense fruit crop of the
United States is much of 1t left to
90 to waste for the want of drying.
In view of the many simple and
cheap processes tor dying, this
should no longer be allowed. The
fruit crop of the United State this
year promises To he immense. The
surplus that cannot be used green
should he provided for. 1t may be
utilized with profit, but To. do 81,
fruit growers should prepare i'll time
to utilize it. Will they do SOY

why He Never Wore u Collar.

1t was a fact observed by many,
that Gov. Briggs for several years
before his death never wore a collar.
When he was the bonored chief
magistrate of Massachusetts, he APP
peared at his levees and on all pub
lie occasions without a collar. There
were comparatively few who knew
the reason of this. But the secret
is most interesting and suggestive.
He had "a neighbor, whom he very
highly esteemed, who had fallen liz
to the habit of using Intoxicating
liquor. He was already the slave
of appetite. Gov. Briggs reinon-
strated with him. The man replied,
IL will never drink again, if you
will never again wear collar
agreed said the Governor. The
man gave up the Intoxicating cup,
and the governor laid aside his col
lar. He never wore it again but
saved his neighbor. The adverse
criticisms to which this seeming
lack of attention 10 his dress aud
personal appearance exposed him
never moved him from his purpose
to the close of life.

The Hon. Neal Dove, of Maine,
says: "Years ago the men OF
Maine concluded that the suppress
sion of the liquor traffic could alone
remedy the evil of intemperance.
1t was done. The bill which en-
tirely outlawed liquor went into
force. What has been the result
1t has been successful. Liquor has
absolutely vanished from three
fOurths of the State, i'll the country
districts. 1t fingers n little in the
dark places of the city among the
foreign population. Maine, before
the law. consumed annually SI3,
0O0. 0U9 worth of liquor. 1t now ex-
ponds less than 81 ,000,0 900 year foi
liquor. The sixty-eigbt distillerie'
no longer exist. The effects can be-
seen in better homes. better farms,
and better living. Maine has DOl
felt the panic rs you have. Its real
estate valuation has RISEN. against
IA depression in other States. Maine
calls on the other States 81 follow
her example, and they will lind safe
ty and protection from the crime o
liquor traffic.

somethtu~ About Diyidcmd.,

The shares Of the Richmond Consoli-
dated Of Eureka, Nevada, Of the par value
Of S25. are selling in London at from SIS
to S57 80. And yet this property produces
much less monthly than the Eureka Con-
solidated, its immediate neighbor, and pays
but a quarter yearly dividend Of 50 so per
share, while, a. all know, the Eureka has
long been paying So per share monthly.
But the shareholders and the English pub
lie have more faith in the management Of
the Richmond than the history Of mining
affairs in the United States has inspired
among our people, in the management Of
the mining companies Of the Pacific Coast.
We clip the above from the New York
Mining Record. At first glance it would
appear that o reflection was cast on the
management of the Eureka Con-, and the
Record is evidently not posted on the man
ner in which the business Of the W. COM
panies is conducted. The Richmond share
holders plod along carefully, and always
carry from $500, 900 to $500, 900 as a reserve.
When this reserve reaches . certain figure
a special dividend is declared, and last
year this dividend amounted to S25. The
Eureka Con-, on the contrary, have nc
| special dividends, keep no reserve, and
| divide their earnings monthly. It will
| thus be seen that the actual dividends oi
the two companies are almost equal in
amount.

Charlie Ross Amidst the Scenes or
His Former Grimes.
The Cheyenne Sun says Sheriff T. JEFF
Carr returned the other day from Eureka,
Nevada, having in charge the notorious
character known as Charley Ross, who has
figured conspicuously in numerous rob-
berries in the Black Hills region, while at
Eureka Ross sailed under numerous aliases,
but was apparently partial to the name Of
" James Patrick" He was quite we'll
known among the gamblers and question
able characters Of Eureka, who were doubt
less acquainted with his previous history,
as they did all in their power to shield him
from the officers Of the law.
Ross was prominently connected with
the stage coach robbery at Whoop-Up sta
ton on the LIST Of last July, at which time
Dan Finn and two other passengers were
wounded. 1t is supposed that Ross was
the man who fred the first shot, contrary
to the injunction Of q comrade. He was
also a member Of the gang that held up
Mobiles men, in Sweetwater county, and
assisted in the robbery Of the Cariboo,
mines soon afterwards.
After the robberies mentioned above
Ross mysteriously disappeared. Nothing
was known Of his whereabouts until three
or four weeks ago, when Sheriff Carr saw
a postal card addressed to James Patrick,
Eureka, Nevada" from a party in this city.
He at once arrived at the conclusion that
Patrick" was none other than "Ross,"
and so informed the Sheriff at Eureka to
keep a lookout for him. On the day of his
arrest Ross sent an order to the Postofice
for mail matter. A letter was received for
James Patrick, and a Deputy Sheriff fol-
lowed the messenger TO q brewery, where
Ross was seated at . table. When the let
ter was delivered to Ross he got up and
went ont through q side door. The Deputy
Sheriff followed and arrested him, but he
had made away with the letter, as all efforts
to find it proved fruitless.
After his arrest Ross protested his inno-
cence, and wrote a letter to the Eureka
papers, stating that it was the first time he
had ever been in Jail, and that his name
was James Patrick.
When Carr arrived, however, many Of the
citizens of Eureka, who had thought Ross
innocent, changed their minds, us Carr
stated that he was sure he had found the
man he wanted. The prisoner had but lit
tie to say while on the way to Cheyenne,
except to make an occasional attempt to
convince the Sheriff that he had the wrong
man. He :. weakened" considerably yes
terday, when several Of our citizens recog-
nized him, and it is now thought he may
make a clean breast Of his connection with
the outlaws Of the Black Hills region.

Not In the PrOgramme or An
nounced from she Pulpit.
The SESrISEL's reporter is q sort Of a
cosmopolitan. who. in the 80 years already
allotted. has seen life in almost all its
phases, and who flatters himself hat he is
somewhat Of q judge Of human character.
And so, some thr Q weeks since, when in
troduced to a meek-looking specimen Of
mankind, he imagined he had struck q
genial sort Of . cuss, and affectionately en-
twining his arms around the gentleman's
neck, he enthusiastically invited him TO
take . drink. The invitation 90 cordially
given was Indignantly declined, and as we
gazed in CONSERVATION after the fast feced-
ing figure, the Mortified bystanders in
formed us that it was Mr.. Phelps Father
Phelps) who, twice or thrice weekly,
wrestles with the devil, and hurls hell
and damnation generally from the pulpit
OF the Presbyterian Church. Since that
time the Reverend gentleman has s.udi-
ously sought to avoid the SENTrSEL's rep.
resentative, but without effect. The mo-
ment he struck Main street on his way to
bis dinner, lie would encounter the knight
OF the pencil, who would considerably in
qnire if there was anything new 2" Father
Phelps would draw himself up in dignifed
silence and, after gazing ~scornfully on his
interlocutor would generally intimate that
there was nothing new-unlcss some people
had failed to take q morning dram.
There is an old adage Of sits q long
lane" etc., and 30 We patiently bided our
time, which came on Sunday night. Mr..
Phelps had chosen for his theme, Lilies
Review" 1t was a significant subject, and
as we gazed on the pensive countenance Of
the maiden who sat Immediately in front,
we sighed for the time when
W parted in silence and parted by night,
On the banks Of that lonely river"
Mr.. Phelps warmed to his subject, and
in the midst Of . thrilling peroration. a
chubby-faced son of Q sea cook, too young
to reverence man, and too ignorant to fear
the devil, sang out in a shrilI, ~falsetto
voice, Papa" The reverend Father stop
ped short, looked daggers at the young
hoodlum, made an effort to continue, but
was again upset by a repetition Of the young
scamp OF Papa" The young folks laughed,
the old folks Uttered. He stared helplessly
at the choir, but they were looking alb
stractedly out of the window, although it
was dark Us Cerebus outside. Henext turned
his appealing eyes towards the SENTIvEL's
local, but We gazed on the ceiling in vir-
tuous Indignation, and didn't propose to
be compromised by acknowledging the ac-
quaintance Of any mar who could be called
Papa" and not be bound in the holy
bonds Of matrinony. 1t was an embarrass-
ing situation, from which the Reverend
gentleman finally extricated himself by
reading his sermon backwards.
