SECRETARY EvAETs is said TO be OF opinion
that Diaz would be much stronger if he had
not the northern Mexican States on his
hands. and that the only hope for Mexico is
to lose those States. which would enable its
government 10 act more energe.ically over
much smaller territory But he acknOwl-
edges that popular opinion here is opposed
to annexation, and he wishes Providence
would somehow turn the whole northern
Mexican States into an impossible and unin-
habitable descent.

AusrRiA.-The position of the Austro

AUsTRiA.-The position of the Austro-
Hungarian government has become pecu
liarly difficult of late. 1t has felt the dis
advantages of varied and incongruous
population more than ever, and but for
the firm support afforded by Germany, 1t
may be doubted whether it could have
succeeded in conciliating, or even IN sup
pressing, the discordant and mtractable
elements that clamored for recognition.
The S!aTonic population Of course sympa-
thized with the christians of the Danu-
bian provinces, and demanded an alliance
with Russia against Turkey. The Ger
man element favored peace, while the
Hungarians were in sympathy with the
Turks The obvious policy of the en-
pire was one of non-interrention, for
though Russia would gladly share the
Danubian provinces with Austria, the lat
ter has many reasons for desiring no
further extension of territory in that dl-
rection, and would perhaps be glad could
she disembarrass herself Of the Siav popn-
lation she at present possesses. More
over the advance of Russia in Europe Is
a menace to her. She has no reason for
desiring the autonomy Of the adjacent
Slavic provinces, nor does the prospect OF
close alliance between Germany and
Russia affect her favorably. Her own IN
terests would, if she were free to follow
them, lead her to more intimate relations
with England and Italy, and perhaps also
France. Any alliance that offered her a
guarantee against the aggrandizement of
her too powerful neishbor and cousin
would be to her advantage.
At present she cannot but feel that it IS
the policy of Germany to rob her of her
German population, and to thrust her for
ward in the character of slavic empire-a
kind of make-believe champion and protec-
tor of All incoherent nationality, through
whose agency that nationality may be gath
cred together long enough to expose its
weakness, and to afford an excuse for the
seizure and partition of the territory it Oc.
cupies. Thus far. however, Austria has
avoided the snare laid for her, and has
steered with much skill and judgment be-
tween Scylla and Charybdis. Record.

TIE FACTS IN TIE CAsE-From the Oregon
City Enterprise we learn the following in regard
to the death OF Laura Cooley: Several &C
counts having appeared in the various papers
of the state in regard to the death of Miss Laura
Cooley, which have not been entirely correct,
the following has been handed to us as correct
version: Miss Cooley has lived with Josiah
Howell, at Canemah, for four months past, and
was . weaver in the factory On Tuesrlay
morning she received two letters from Sal m,
one from a lady friend and another supposed to
be from Lawton, to whom she was en;a 5ed to
be married. The last one has not been dis
covered as yet. After raceving these letters
she appeared downcast and gloomy. She con-
tinued at work until Thursday morning, when
she complained OF headache, and went to the
factory and got excused came back and went
to bed. Mrs. Howell hayin; business reuuir-
mr her presence at this place in the forenoon,
made tliin.ye comfortable for Miss Cooley, and
came to town Mrs. Howell arrived at home
about 5 o'clock, and inquired whether she was
better, and she said "no." Mrs Howell then
went to the. kitchen to get something for her to
eat, and on her return the poor girl was with
in, IN spaSm. y doctor was sent for immedi-
ately, who did everything to relieve her, but
the spasms continued until 10 o'clock that
evening, and she continued in an unconscious
state until the next Monday morning, at half
past o'clock, when she died Her father and
mother were teleyraphed to. Friday, and arriv-
ed here on Saturday morning. The mother,
searching for some traces of the cause, found d
still born child in the trunk There was no at
tempt made TO conceal the matter, as stated
by papers. Mr. Howell says the deceased had
acted in prudent and discreet manner since
she came to his house, and there was no suspi-

she died She received every attention from
the neighbors and medical attendant"

THE CASE OF PATTERSON. pleasure
We see itreported thatGOv. Wade Hampton,
of South Carolina, is resolved that the state
courts shall not be interfered with, SO far as
he can prevent any thing of the kind, in re-
lation to the criminal cause against. Patter-
son, the carpet -baggersenator from the state
indicted for bribery Governor Hampton
says the law must take its course. In this
he is right It should be- the rule in every
mans case, whether he be rich or poor, IN
lowly private position or In the most ex-
alted public station. If Patterson has COM
mitted bribery, he should suffer IS other
men in the same state-notably his party
friends, of the colored race-have suffered
offence. If he is not guilty, he should be
fairly acquitted. But the point in this case
seems to be that, in consideration of his vote
and services in securing the admission of
Senator Bntier to his seat IN the senate, he
expects to have the prosecution of his case
stopped-and it Is rumored that Senator
Butler himself promised to intercede in his
behalf TO that purpose. 1t is very poor
authority, but worth whatever it Is, there
stands against this mere rumor the emphatic
declaration OF Patterson himself, on the
floor of the senate, that he never hadreceiv-
ed any promise or intimation of the kind
Not because Patterson denies the promisedo
We believe it never was made. but solely for
the reason that We are confident Mr.. Butler
would never SO involve, inculpate or s.ultify
himself, do we feel sure there was no such
promise on his part.

How 70 KEEP MEAT IN SUMMEn-Thc
meat should first be wiped clean and dry.
Some sprinkle it well in all parts with salt
Others use black pepper pl"ntifully (wash-
ing and wiping it well before using it, TO
remove the pepper or saltD, and then hang
it in the coolest place posssble-some in
the well, others in cellar. Perhaps the
best prccaution is to wrap it in a dry cloth,
and cover it with charcoal,dust. Some say
that wood ashes will answer about as well
as charcoal, but only know the virtues of
charcoal by experience. l have found that
charcoal will even remove slight degree of
tant. [ am told that mutton is improved
as well as preserved, for a short time, by
wrapping it in a cloth wet with vinegar, and
laying it on the bottom of dry cellar
All kinds Of meat, including fish and fowl
may be preserved in brine for II longer or

not only to astonish the world, but to almost
revolutionizc the accepted usages of society
MIR. Edison is not only inventive, but he is
also Industrious, and since the production
OF the phonographh, eply few, weeks ago,
has, without, iltermisssiieoin, devoted himself
to its furthef deSs sioplmient. From N. day to

gives to every wall its ear, land hereafter
there can be no actual certainty of privacy
In any conversation unless held in desert,
or through the medium of the deaf and
dumb alphabet. The cost of the new
machine is, moreover, SO insignificant as to
place 1t within reach of people of the most
moderate means; while its advantages, in a
protective sense, are so manifestly obvious,
that in very short time it is destined to
conc into very extensive, if not general
use.
The effects to be produced by the intro
duction of the auraphone will be wonderful
When all walls have ears, literally, what is
to become of our condolences? With the
spy ever in wait for us, not only to repeat
thcm but to also manufacture their indis-
putable proof for transmission and preseva-
ton, what arc We to do? Will society be-
come thoroughly honest, virtuous and good?
or will IL be torn asunder by dissension and
rclegatcd to savasery? When a mans sins
are popping up in judgement at all times
and places; when man is forced to 90

were, in his bosom, will it longer be plea
SAINT or even an endurable place to live in !?
And yet, to face this actual contingency we
are brought by Mr., Edison and his new au-
raphone.
The subject for contemplation is so en-
tirely new and so absolutely startling in its
nature, that We may well shrink from con-
sidcrlng its more serious aspects, in view of
its almost boundcss possibilities and results
But there is, happily, no shade without sun
shine, and it is not without its comical,
though not less vcxatious sides. Fifty or
sixty dollars at most, Mr.. Edison informed
US, would cover the expense of placing one

the ceiling OF any room, SO nicely concealed
as to escape observation, and capable Of
being so nicely adjusted that "tho dropping

heard in the room above. ~. y. Star.

THE NEGRO IN PoLIrIcs..Thc proper
disposition of the negro vote is becoming
the allimportant question in the discussion
Of political affairs i'll this State. OF course
it is conceded that all who have heretofore
voted with the Democracy have right to
join the Democratic party, and vote at our
primary elections, but what is to become of
the great army of Republican voters? 1t
is clearly the policy and Intention of the
white Democracy to educate and elevate,
as well as exercise the broadest charity to-.
wards. their dusky companions; but it is
feared the Democratic party will be
swamped by this hood.tidc of colored vo.
tcrs, who may prove as dangerous inside of
the party as they are now outside of it. II
every one is allowed to join the Democratic
party, and vote at its elections, then VIC
have not only broken down the race line in
politics, but the party line also.
In our opinion there is too great dis
position to mcddle with the negro vote,
which, if let a!onc, will hereafter prove not
only harmless, but tractable. 1t can never
be practically put on the same footing with
the white vote, but unfortunately there are
too many who, thinking they can manipu-
late it, wish to bring it into the Democratic
party. If this is done, it will not only de.
stroy the controlling influence of the white
man, and endanger his institutions and civ
ilization, but will put the up country of
South Carolina under the control of the
low-country, where this great negro vote
lies. Whilst we are in favor of the liberal
exercise Of the broadcst charity, we cannot
sec that our late opponents have done any
thing as yet to convince US that they are in
favor of good government, which is the first
requisite Of good Democrat We can
easily win upon the same line adopted in
the last campaign, by making the Demo
cracy an aggressive unit, and by letting
alone that portion of the negro vote that
we cannot influence or control.-Spartan.
