GENERAL EWING sent a note to his
wife at O'Clock last Wednesday an
nouncing his nomination for Governor
by the Ohio Democratic Convention, in
which he received this reply: "Your
news is stale. have already had scores
of callers to congratulate me. Now come
home yourself and let your wife con-
gratulate you."

The louisiana negroes show the char
acteristic political education of the New
England carpet-baggers. With them all
is fair in politics, and with that idea
they made aflidavits in New Orleans
that they were paid to vote for Kellogg
which in Washington they swear are
false. All such testimony ought to be
disregarded. 1t is quite apparent that
the scoundrel who would sell his vote
for money would contradict his oath
also for more money. Kellogg is 10
better than the negroes he has helped to
lead astray and paid to vote for him as
Senator, and if he hopes to win his case
by such evidence we hope he will fail
utterly.

MEssRs. Bryant, Hall and butcher,
and Mrs. butcher and Mrs. Watson all
complained, last week, because we closed
our columns to the reception OF their
communications. We thought the morals
OF our readers were not likely to be i'm
proved by their personal attacks upon
each other, and therefore put them upon
footing with all other parties who pro-
pose to carry on personal controversies
by turning them over to our advertising
columns, with payment in ADVANCE
Since then it has transpired that some of
the parties interested has handed affi-
davits to one of the newspapers of this
city, that charge Mrs. Watson and
butcher with criminal intimacy. They
are both probably ignorant of the laws
of Delaware, and their best friends
should advise them thereof.

MIR. SAMUEL TOWNSEND has turned
his attention to the propagation of fish in
the numerous small creeks, streams and
ponds on the Peninsula, while he seems
OF fish culture by several States through
Commissioners appointed to attend to
the matching and stocking of the rivers
with shad, salmon, bass, &c. The sue
cess of fish culture is no longer mere
experiment and we commend Mr..
Townsend's proposed effort, and hope he
will meet with entire success IN what he
has proposed. There has as yet been no
fish added to the streams in our States so
far as we have heard, although there is
little doubt that they would prove prolific
in our waters. The supply from the
rivers and creeks of such as they yield,
has been quite large, and hence the ne
glect in this respect. The success in
planting oysters, would indicate that
equal success would attend the culture O
turtles and terrapins, as well as fish, il
the ponds and creeks of which Mr.
Townsend writes. Terrapns are readil,
sold at a high price, and turtles sell quit
as readily in some seasons as fish. A
there is an improvement in oysters b.
planting, there might also be an improve
ment in turtles, if they could be ker
where they would be readily supple
with such food as they would thriv
upon. We do not suppose they woul
grow to the size of the monster turtl
that was captured near Fort Delaware
few days ago; but as a matter for e,
pertinent and ammusement the sugge
ton, if tried, might result in greater su
cess than would be expected. When
was first proposed to hatch shad al
salmon and restock the rivers with the
the matter was treated with ridicul'
but the results have been more succes
full than any one hoped for. We see
the Cecil Whig, of Saturday, that 25t

Madame JaHa.

BY announcement elsewhere it
will be seen that Madame Jaffa,
who arrived in this city from San
Diego yesterday, will give piano
forte recital at Union Hall next
Saturday evening, when she will
be assisted by some of cur best
local talent. Madame Jaffa's rep
utation as a planiste is world-wid
and her performances wherever
she has appeared have elected the
warmest encomiums from the
press. Of her first concert at that
place the San Diego Union says:
Madame Jaffa's first concert at
Horton's Hall last evening was a
brilliant success. The audience
was thoroughly appreciative, and
was reused to high pitch of en-
thusiasm by the magnificent play
ing of the lady in "Non Plus
Ultra" which was greeted with ID
perfect storm of applause, and an
encore which would take no denial.
1t would be work of supereroga-
ton TO praise her Interpretation of
the music of Beethoven, Lisat
Schumann and WoelfIi. 1t is the
perfection of art. No such musical
treat fas ever before been given to
our people, if we except the con.
cert of Madame Arabelia Goddard
aud that was no whit superior to
this. None who were present last
evening will fail to attend the con-
cert to morrow evening, and we
bespeak crowded house.

Turning Sahara Into a Lake.

1t seems that the conversion of
the Desert of Sahara into an inland
sea might not after all be so much
of blessing to the continent Of
Africa as was claimed when the
project was first broached. AT a
recent meeting of the French Geo
graphical Society, at Paris, DR..
Cosson, member of the Institute,
combatted the scheme with many
arguments. He did not believe
that the climate of the interior of
Africa would be changed by an ar
tifcial sea. Its shores would be as
arid as those of the Mediterranean
In Tripoli; but If the climate should
change, the date crop, which is the
principal support of the natives,
would be ruined. The routes of
the caravans from Tpnis and AL
giers to the interior would also be
destroyed and the whole inland
trade deranged. DR.. Cosson also
predicted that the pressure of the
mass of water would produce per-
turbations in the currents which
feed the artesian wells in the Oasis,
and might cause them to fail, and
thus entail the loss of hundreds of
palm trees. His views as to the
climatic influence OF q Saharan
sea were opposed by other members
of the Society.

Los ANGELES, Aug. 4, 1879.

Los ANGELES, Aug. 4, 1879.
10 the Public: There are num-
ber of dangerous cases of dysentery
in the suburbs of The city. In each
case the patient is Ia the habit of
using zanja water without filtering.
Although some nuisances hereto
fore connected with these zanjas
have been abated, yet there is a
large amount of filth that gets into
them, and the water is utterly anfit
for drinking. By thorough sys-
tenn of fiiteriDg the water can be
made pure, but without filtering it
is very dangerous to health. City
Surveyor Goldswortby employs
system Of filtering at his house
which should be used by every fam
lily that is unfortunately obliged to
depend on the zanjas for drinking
water. 1t would be philanthropic
act in Mr. Goldsworthy to make
his plan public through the daily
press. The death rate of Los An
geles city has been very light dur
ing the past six months, and we
can keep it so, even during the hot
season, if every family will use
only pure water, good food, aud
keep their persons and premises
clean.

A BIG DRAUGHT OF WHlSKEY.
A Son of the Late General Pillow Has Mar.

Robert G. Pillow, son of the late
General Pillow, who is now rum
ming O plantation over in Arkansas,
and who came over to take a look
at the Fourth OF July, had a mar
row escape from death not long
since. Accompanied by Aleck, one
of the oolored men on the place, he
was out hunting wild hog that
had been in the vicinity. Mr.. Pill
low had gun, and Aleck had
armed himself with pint bottle OF
whiskey. The hog was found and
shot, and just as Mr.. Pillow went
up to the writhing animal an i'm.

bite is as fatal as that of rattle

calf of his leg. AS his Memphis
friends know, Bob is not easily
frightened. He took in the situa-
ton in moment, and instead of
exhibiting alarm he turned to his
companion and quietly remarked:

throat without stopping to venture
any remarks as to its quality.
Then, shouIdering his gun, he rap
idly walked to the house, a half
mile distant, where he drank the
contents Of three ordinary glass
tumblers filled with whiskey.
"Of course it stupefied you,"
chimed in a Memphis friend, to
whom he was relating the facts.
"Of course it didn't" was the re-
ply. II don't know how it hap
pened, but as far as intoxicating
effects were concerned, the stuff
had no more influence than water.
But it induced a regular Niagara

expelled the poison, aud the wound
