Mr.. Beattie or to permit Mr.. Beat

The audiences which Mr.. Wilt
will have, knom what the Radical
practice is: they knou the amount
of money they have paid in taxes
only to be stolen by Kellogg,
Warmotll, and the rest of the
Rapscallions: they know the
amount of debt that has been fas

tie advises his friends to vote
against the de.t ordinance and
thus increase their taxation they
kn0r the Radical leaders stole
the vote of Louisiana in 1872 for
State officers and in 1876 tor
President ; they kAoW experiment
tally and truly what the Kadica,
party is, and they have no desire
to listen to Mr.. Beattie's apollo

the future; nor have they any
desire of collecting audiences for
the Republican orators to address.
If they wish--to be heard, they
can call their own crowds to lis

A Grand Scheme.

General Fremont, now governor OF
Arizona, proposes to advocate personally
before the proper authorities in WASH
ington his plan for bringing the waters
of the gulf of California back to what is
supposed to be their old basin in south.
ern California. This basin, which is
now dry and sandy desert, is two
hundred miles long, fifty miles wide and
i'm its central part is three hundred and
fifty feet below the level of the sea. It
lies between southern California and
Arizona, and is unfit for the sustenance
OF man or beast. Between the upper
end of the gulf of California and the
tasin or valley in question ridge of
land interposes. Through this it is
proposed by General Fremont's plan to
cut canal for a distance of ten miles to
q lake about twenty miles long, and at
the other end of the lake continue the
canal some fifteen miles more. The cost
might be 81, 000, 900 and the time necess
sary for the work perhaps six months,
but the General contends that the bene>
fits to the two states of California and
Arizona would be incalculable. The
great wants of Arizona are water and
moisture. On the eastern slope OF the
low range of mountains that separate
this basin from Arizona all is dry and
barren as in the basin itself. The heat
is intolerable and no vegetation is posi-,
BILE. The introduction of this great
body Of water would change the whole
face Of things. In shorss, il would make
the whole surrounding country to bios
som likethe rosa. In the opinion of the
governor the canal should be made deer
and wide enough to admit such vessels
nd steamers as sail the Pacific.

What the Lawyer Said.

They were trying a case in whichsev-
eral criminals were engaged, and one OF
the prisoners, as prisoners often will do,
endeavored to lead the jury astray by
putting himself forward as the principal
actor in the tragedy. But the vigilant
and experienced counsel for the people
is not to be ihumbugged by any such
shallow pretense. g No, gentlemen"
he cried, in summing M, "you will not
suffer yourselves to be imposed upon.
Look at those features, that stupid eye,
and tell me if there you can parceive
any indications of the energy, the
courage, the fertility of resource, the
intelligence, the FIRE Of genius neces sary
for the conception and execution of ths
mastery murder we are discussing"

moral teachings of Christianity. 1t is
claimed that these initiate against the
special authority of the bible and the
Christian revelation. The discoveries
of George Smith and other archcologists
n the east have greatly confirmed the
bible. The analogies to which you refer
between Christianity and other ancient
religions, instead of tending to weaken
may serve to strengthen belief in the
divine nature of the former. ] main
tain it is more reasonable to suppose
that these various Oriental religions

The Blue-BoJtle.
Chambers journal.

Chambers journal.
An animal is wanted for the special
purpose of destroying carrion, SO as to
prevent it becoming q nuisance. The
creature appropriate for this purpose is
small worm known as maggot. But
how are such worms to be extempo~
rized, when mass of putrid meat is to
disposed of? The difficulty is heauti-
fully got over by sending particular
kind of big fly called a blae-bottle,
that is entitled to rank as scavenger-
general. Instinctively, the blue-bottle
discovers where its services are required.
There it deposits eggs. The eggs very
speedily become maggots, and the mag
gots make short work of eatin /, up every
scrap of the putrid mass. When this is
done they cannot fly away. This, how
ever, is provided for. They undergo a
transformation into flies, and they set
off in a flight for new substances re-
curing their attention, This is but a
brief explanation of the process of trans
formation, which is various according TO
circumstances. 1t is sufficient to inn
press us with the fact that the creature
referred to is in sense tive distinct AMI
mails. 1t has flying life and crawling
life; or, more correctly, while in it
flying state it can originate q host os
crawling creatures admirably adapted
for the design in view. In pursuing its
professional avocations the blue-bottle
is far from being particular. 1t will
as readily attack joint of meat
as q dead horse. Cooks, of course,
have great detestation of blue
BOTTLES, which they think ere created
only to torment them, and they would
be glad to hear that they were extermi'
mated off the face of the earth. This ii
being a little unreasonable. Blue-bot'
ties have a right to live, if they can
No doubt, they make themselves very
troublesome when by accident they fine
their way into room, and keep buzzine
on the window-panes. On these occasions
they are to be pitied. They are trying
to get out, with the view of performing
their proper functions, and they shoult
be let out accordingly. If they wish tt
20 about their business, why not lei
them go by all means, and be thankful
for the radiance? In short, though ap,
to be an annoyance, blue-bottles are
sent for good purpose. They have
their appointed uses in creation, and fol
these uses, their structure, while moi
displeasing to the eye, is admirably
adapted. Look at their alacrity, theil
swiftness on the wing. Bees are very
properly applauded for their industry
But we doubt if they are whit more
industrious than the .blue-bottle. fol-
they are actively roaming about to
Improve each shining hour" on theil

The merits of blue bottles have been {
little overlooked in literature. Her
aldry has strangely neglected them
Should the fraternity of scavenger'
think of getting up coat-of-arms, the,
might with great propriety adopt tbs
blue-bottle as crest. We know thai
cooks will never be reconciled to blue
bottles. ALI they have TO do is to KEEP
\ Joints out OF their reach.

LoosENEss IN CRY FINANCES -
Low SALARIES THE PRoBABLE CAusE.-we
understand the eyes of the City Council
have been opened 10 a looseness in the
management of city finances, extending
hack many wears, which demands imme.
diate and prompt attention. We do not
understand that there is the slightest in :
timation or accusation that any one has
acted dishon estly, or taken any advantage
of the opportunity open to them to feather
their nests. The city for many years has
issued checks for the payment Of its en-
plorees and all other purposes, and these
checks from time to time are taken in by
the different officers, and id their settle
ments with the city, turned over to the
Council as vouchers for so much cash. 1t
appears that the Council instead of hav-
ing these checks cancelled or destroyed,
allowed the city clerks to deposit them in
the city desk, uncancelled. We learn
this has been the custom for some years
past. and, also, that almost any one who

these checks uncancelled and with no
evidence that they had been paid, were

The suppositiOn is that such loOseness
has grown up from inattention aud not
criminality; but be this as it may, the
good tax payers of Hickman struggle
enough to pay their taxes one time, with
out taking any contingencies as TO the
reissue of checks which their money has
paid one time. We make mention OF the
matter because we think it demands pub
