The Barbados Turtle Fishery.

Ihe English markets are principally supplied
with turtles from the West Indies bat the high
price of the article would seem to Indicate either
that the natural supplies are not equal to the
demand or that the methods adopted for catching
and sending over the produce are not of tia
most economical kind. The turtles from which
the highly priced soups are made are sent oyer
TO this country 10 three different ways; either
alive, or snn-dried, preserved 10 tins like the
Australian timed meats. 10 all three branches
the industry is capable of great extension, not
only 10 the West lndies. but in FIJI, North Aus
tralis, and probably in other OF our tropical or
sub tropical colonies. The market price of sun
dried Jamaica turtle is about S.. per h., while a
tin oil preserved fat costs IS. or S., and small
tin OF soup ready for consumption as much as half
guinea. These prices most be very remunera.

Considering the little difficulty there is 10 catch

on their backs as they come TO the surface or
reach the shore. and considering the numbers in
which they exist on the submarine plateaux of

some fear of their falling of In numbers, owing
to the reckless way in which the eggs are de-
stroyed. These leather-cased eggs are deposited,
like those of the crocodile and other reptiles 10

out, incubation lasting about month. The
tracks OF the animals to and from their nests

There is q story about Edison's cour,ship and
honeymoon which. if not true, Is al least very
characteristic Of the man. When at work on one
Of his inventions years ago. he took fancy to a
little girl who had been engaged to help him in
the workshop. and one day Suddenly asked her

al first but Edison treasured her by telling her
,hat she might consider it for n week. and then
give him her answer. adding. Toots like. It's OF

Our item relative to George Wolff
and the horse John Bender being ruled
off the track at Leavenworth, was, it
seems, unjust toward them. Mr.. Wolff
entered the horse for the free-for-all race,
and Bender having before beaten the
other horses, their drivers formed a ring
to beat him unfairly, as was the case
at the races here last year. They
manipulated the matter so that on the
first heat a wheel of Tornado's sulky
was taken of, and the judges ruled that
it was done by Bender's sulky, while
the spectators were almost unanimously
of the opinion that it was not done by
Bender, but by one of the ring. Before
another sulky was obtained, and the pro-
tracted dispute settled, darkness post
poned the race until the next day. Then
Mr.. Wolf, seeing that there was con
certed movement TO jockey him out of the
race, refused TO let Bender trot, and il
was for this refusal that the judges ruled
him and the horse out. The case has
been appealed to the association, and
VIII NC OCSlNSu ny lhdI OONy. We SSl
this statement from well informed and
reliable party.
Our item was not meant as any at
tack upon Mr.. Wolff or Bender, but sim
ply as protest against the toopravelent
practice of jockying at horse races. We
have only friendly feelings toward both
and take pride in Bender as an Emporia
horse, as he was first brought out here
and is largely owned by one of our citi
Zens. Mr.. Wolff is a very expert driv
er, as fair as most all professionals
and we suppose has to beat them at Their
own games. But what we want is fol
the judges at our races to shut down on
all unfair races, and to make horse-rac
ing as unobjectionable as possible, nc
matter who has to be ruled out. Under
the circumstances, the Leavenworth rul
ing should not excite any prejudice
against the horse or driver, and we shall
be pleased to see them on our track mex
week, where Bender has always won by
square trotting and splendid staying
qualities. Let the judges insist on fail
racing, and no sport will be so popular
That is all we want, and all that Bender

POLITIcAL NOTES.

California will do for Republican
"starter" for 1880
Butler will find this bad year TO run
campaign on state issues alone
There will be no stay-at-home Repub-
lican vote in New York this year. The
party is too much in earnest for that
kind of Sinking.
Congressman Manning says the re-
spectabIe white men of YaZoo are
browning down" the playful persons
who murdered Olson. That isn't the
way murderers are punished in this part
of the country
General Geary, who is one of the most
ferociOus Bourbons in South Carolina,
says that state will give from $1,000 to
10000 Democratic majority in 1880.
This looks as if the tissGe-ballots would
be used more sparingly than they were
IN 1878, when the majority was 1000.
The members of the Georgia senate
have been canvassed on the presidential
question, and, like their associates in the
house, they are found to be largely in IA

claring for the most available man.
Mr.. Murat Halstead is authority for
the cheering statement that the only
Ohio Idea he knows anything about now
is to maintain resumption. The people
regard the financial question as settled,
and the result is that the Democrats are

the national banks, or else, like Ewing.
talking a great deal and saying nothing
at all. As for the Republican prospects,
Mr.. Halstead says the party was never
so strong in every township as it is to-
day; that all minor issues are thrust out
OF the way, and that all Republicans are
in earnest antagonism to the aggressive
sectional policy of the South, being stall
wart to an unheard-of degree. "They

grammar, than any milder persons; and

ANOTHER BURGLARY.

Look Out For heerschaum Pipes.
Sometime during last night j. NJ. But
ler's grocery store was broken into and
robbed OF about 800 worth of meer-
schaum pipes and cigars, the loss consist
ing principally of very fine pipes, of
which Mr.. Butler had few days before
received $3.50 worth. They were taken
from his window show case and
from a case on tobacco counter.
The entrance was effected by breaking a
pane of glass in the rear window, and
then opening the catch, and the window
slid down and the thief or thieves crawl
ed in. Somebody will have fine lot OF
meerschaum pipes and good cigars on
hand and will probably try to travel and
dispose of the pipes to pay travelling ex-
penses. Mr.. Buffers safe door was bro
ken some time ago, and is off its hinges
and as no valuable are left in it, nothing
was taken from it.

Field Day OF the EmPOria Gun Club.
Yesterday afternoon the members of
the Emporia Gun Club competed in a
pigeon and glass ball match for hand
some badges.
The day was remarkably fine and 10
the inexperienced eye, a most propitious
one for the sport, but some of the old
marlcsmen pronounced it "leetle too
bright" which remark the score would
seem amply to justify. The result OF
the first 'trial at arms" was surprise
to many; the way the pigeons sped home
ward from under the muzzle of Ned
Viewers bar'l was puzzle to the know
ing ones, and even ''Bogardus" las Geo.
Bragunier is familiarly called-stepped
back to give room to the noviccs. AT the
glass balls, however, the old timers re-
covered themselves and retrieved their
waning prestige.
The first badge contested for was an
elegant gold one valued at $50. The
conditions of the match were: eight
birds to each man, 81 yards rise, so yards
boundary, the firing to be in accordance
with the rules of the New York Gun
Club-viz, "gun to be below the elbow
until the bird left the trap. Capt Som
ers was appointed scorer and referee
| The following is the score.
