WASHINGTON, Sept. O.-District-Attorney North
rrn. of South Carolina is in Washington. He
saws that notwithstanding the two or three cases OF
political shooting Of which the North has heard
lately, matters are in the main remarkably quiet
for South Carolina.

courts are wholly under the control of the Demo-
Gratis. and Republican has no chance whatever Of

be if the Democrats dared to carry out their wishes
II is openly remarked among them, however, that
Northern sentiment will no longer endure the out
RACES which have made South Carolina solidiy
ucmocratic and that swift Te,rbutioD is In store
for them If the OutTages of the last Congressional
canvass should he repeated This tact alone serves
10 protect Republicans in some of their political
rights aud II has been sufficient. Mr. NortArUp de-
cares 20 inspire them with great confidence In the
fufnre. They are becoming thoroughly organized
IN all parts of the state and from present appear
ances he believes they viii poll their full vote In at
least three Of the Congressional Districts at the next
election liz believes that this Will most certainly
secure the return of Rerubl can Congrcssmen.
Another encouraging sign is seen III the agitation
over municipal affairs in Charleston, and this, IN
fact, the thing that most engrosses public atten-
ton lust now. There are two candidates for tho

THE SPRAGUE MUSS.
Prospects of Divorce Mr.. Oonkling's Part
in the Affair
IChioapo Tribuna.1

New YORK, Sept. IA Times special from
Management Pier says: "Regarding his
wfe's departure, Mr.. Spraguei Is credited with
saying: Mrs. Sprague certainly did not come
or go in consequence OF any threat or act of
violence on my part. When she went to
Providence, early in August. she went with
out clothing for the little girls. / thought of
IT, but waited until / heard from her authori.
was at Conductor HaIe's house with the chill
dren. / Immediately went there and claimed
the children, and Mrs Sprague followed them
on Saturday. knew they had Intended to
get away on Friday night, and went to the
nursery door and turned the knob, intending
TO tell the nurse there must be none OF last
nights preparations. On turning the knob,
Mrs. Sprague called out, 'You must not come
III here. No act OF violence was committed
by me then or at any time
MIR. Sprague is reported to have said that
Mrs. Sprague's movements We're directed by
some one not In the family, as none of the
family knew OF what she intended to do or
where she designed going.
"Mr. Sprague this afternoon received q let
ter from Mrs. Spragus counsel, which leaves
no doubt on his mind that the counsel are
fully Informed OF her whereabouts. They
have declined to tell where Mrs. Sprague is,
hut offered to send any baggage to her that
Mr.. Sprague will permit removed from Canon
chet. The circumstances point to a separa-
ton. and it is confidently believed that Mrs.
Sprague had contemplated this action looking
to separation before she lett CanOnchet. On
this subject Mr. Sprague has expressed him
self that he did not believe Mrs Sprague
would seek divorce but her Efforts would
be directed to obtaining something short OF
that-a limited divorce with possession OF the
girls. Such effort Mr.. Sprague will resist
with all his strength and means. AS the case
stands it seems it will inevitably come before
the public through the courts. It is probable
that Ii 1t does the part Senator Conkling has
played in creating the unpleasant state OF

THE FASTEST MAN In AMERICA.

Jay Gould lately startled the quiet old bur
gomasters Of Amsterdam by appearing at
their stock market and making large oper-
alton in American railway securities The
Amsterdamers asked for little more time
to close with his offers, to smoke their pipes
and ponder thereon. But Gould had fixed his
time for departure at p. m. The Dutchmen
had to hurry up with their stocks, and he
finished his business In time to take the
o'clock train. Before his friends in New York
could realize his absence he steamed into
port, was the first man To land and pass his
baggage, and left on the evening train from
the city for his country residence to see his
five little Goulds. Finding his family all
we'll, and rejoiced ut getting back to America,
the greatest country in the world, his first
business transaction was to transmit a draft
for $4,000 to Memphis, for the relief fund for
the sick poor. For this act let all honor,
gratitude and commentator be accorded by
the Southern people to this extraordinary
man; not more for the liberality it displays
than for the generous and graceful manner Of
his handsome contribution.

MUSIC BY THE BAND.

Ihere IS no community where the people
are more passionately fond of music than oul
own. New Orleans, for many years III that
golden time before the war when her people
were rich and prosperous, was the musical
centre OF the country, and no vocal 81 instru
mental artists fame was assured until he OF
she had won the applause OF her discerning
and fastldious critics
Riches have taken unto themselves wings
and flown away: prosperity, SO long banished
by the war and Its resultant evils, still hest
tates to return, but the innate and highly
cultivated taste for music remains, and
while we have no longer the superb opera
companies and famous iiuas Of the past to
minister constantly to this passion, yet In
many ways New Orleans exhibits her old-time
fondness for harmony.
In our private circles are many ladies' who
would adorn the lyric stage, and many OF our
young gentlemen are possessed OF voices that
could easily be coined into gold. Our street
Arabs whistle MOI only the popular airs that
boys learn and whistle everywhere, but many
OF them render correctly and beautifully the
most difficult operatio airs. The barber who
shaves you will whistle, sweet and low, some
aria from Lucia or Traviata, and the very
boothlack will trill an air from Rigoletto as
he shines her up
Everywhere crops out evidences Of the
musical culture of our people, and therefore
1t Is that we wish to say few plain words to
our band masters
In no other city are there 80 many parades
and celebrations Of different kinds iii which
brass bands play q conspicuous part, and yet
it is curious and most regretable fact that
In no other large city ID the music Of the bands
60 Indifferent. While, Of course, we cannot ex-
pect just yet to attain to the excellence Of a
Thomas or Dodworth, we may very rea-
sonably look for bands that will keep
abreast OF the musical world and not only
arrive at great excellence In the use Of the
various instruments, but also learn the latest
popular airs and the music of the best mas
tiers.
Whoa Emma, the Sweet By-and- BY, Ny
Grandfather's Clock, and q number Of similar
airs, will do very well occasionally but I'd
have them eternally dinned into the ears of d
patient but suffering and music-loving pub
lie. ls. we submit, just a little trying, all the
more so because there ID an abundance OF tai
ent here capable Of better things.
A political campaign Is approaching and
very soon the nights will be filled with music.
Our desire is TO have that music good and as
wanting as possible In that sameness which
has been too much the characteristic of our
bands In the past. There are many really
excellent musicians belonging to the various
1and organizations IN the city, and we hope
70 see them moving to accomplish better re-
suits In the future.

Fashion declared, some time ago, in favor
OF ostrich feathers. 70 get these ornaments
FOR the ladies the hunters OF South Africa en-
countered all kinds of hardships and dangers
One day it was discovered that 1t was better
to domesticate the ostrich, and pluck the
feathers from him, rather than kill the goose
that laid the golden egg. A dead ostrich gave
only one crop of feathers; live ostrich fur
nished four crops year. The result was the
demonstration Of ostriches In Cape Colony for
the purpose Of raising feathers. The import
ance OF this industry Is greater than any one
would credit. Who is there, for instance, that
would believe that last years ostrich feather
crop OF Cape Colony exceeded In value the
rice crop OF Louisiana !? Yet such is actually
the case. The result Of this is great In
crease In the value Of the ostrich. That bird,
which is useless for any practical purpose,
which cannot possibly be eaten Or ridden or
worked, now readily commands s75e. This Is
not to be wondered at when we consider that
8 pound of ostrich feathers Is worth $40,
nearly their weight In gold. And all this the
ladies' have done with their little bonnets.

Since the passage Of the silver bill the
United States minis have coined over forty
million standard dollars. OF this amount
fully nine-tenths yet remain In the treasury,
having never been paid out by the govern
ment. An earnest and energetic effort Is now
to be made, IT Is said, to get this money In
circulation, and ii will be paid out by the gov
eminent to oil Its employees, Senators and
Representatives, az we'll as custom-house
clerks. The demand for silver dollars Is in
creasing every day. This was particularly
observable during the past month. During
The first week OF August the average demand
for silver dollars WAS $4,000 day; during
this last wesk of the month the demand had
Increased to $780, 900 day. The total amount
OF silver dollars paid out during August was

The last Legislature Of Illinois passed a
law forbidding armed bodies Of men to APP
pear In the State without an authorization
from the Governor. This law was aimed par
ticnlarly ut the Socialists OF Chicago, and
was expected to break UP their military or
ganizations. The Socialists made o test case
and went into the courts In defense Of their
privileges, where they have just won com
plete victory. The law has been decided to
be unconstitutional for the reason that 1t in
fringes an inherent right guaranteed by
the constitution. and Is. besides, a species of
special legislation which Is expressly forbid
den by the fundamental law Of the State The
court also objects to the law because 1t vested
the Governor with excessive and arbitrary
powers, such as should not be placed In the
hands Of any one man. All the judges prac-
tically concurred In these views. The Social
lists are jubilant over the result. and intend to
celebrate It by grand parade tomorrow.
