There are about eighteen foreign countries which, before our civil war, grew but little or no tobacco, but recieved thelr annual supply from America. The high prices during and since the war induced them to turn their attention to the culture of tobacco. Now they raise enough an rnually to throw large surplus, on the English markets.

THE VICTORIES OF TUESDAY.

On Tuesday last there were elections IN
thirteen States and the returns last night,
although incomplete, indicate heavy Repub-
lican majorities in ten. PenHsy lvanis comes
to the front with clean Republican gain of
10000 over the maiorities of last year. In
Illinois the Republicans sweep the field with
n gain Of 10000 Connecticut held an cleo
ton for legislative ticket only, and the Re-
publicans will control both houses. In Min
nesota there is an increase in the Republican
maiorities of over 10000. New Jersey still
retains Republicans legislature with gain OF
one Senator and three Assemblymen. Mast
achusstts elects Republican Governor by a
plurality Of about 10, 0O0. Wisconsin gives
Republican majority, some 10, 900 in excess of
last year. Nebraska and Rhode Island also
wheel into the Republican line. New York
elects Reprb lican Governor and John Kelly 6

in Congress and the efforts of a misguided
Democratic press to belittle the serious I'M
portance of Democratic intimidation and out
rage in the South. 1t is not at all probable,
however, that such severe lessons as the De-
nosracy studied day before yesterday will in
any way add to its store of wisdom, as 1t long
ago ceased to profit by experience.

Clellan might have been the recipient of such

A GOOD WORD FOR BODIE.

The press of Nevada is saying all sorts of
unkind things about Bodie because the in
habitants of the place have neglected to erect
church. The APPEAL, in the prominent
capacity Of being the only recognized religious
daily in the State, ia disposed to extend the
honest hand of charity to the good people of
Bodie, who are bending under the burden Of
abuse heaped upon them by Numerous of our
self righteous and Phsrisaical cotemporaries
Some newspapers are in the habit of assum-
ing false religious air because their offices
happen to be on the same street with church,
and from an elevation Of counterfeit morality
hurl their ansthemas against the worldlings.
For al these the APPEAL, with well established
reputation for propriety of practice and e1
ample, has the heartiest contempt. To the
pure all things are pure, and Bodie, through
our spectacles, looks good enough in spite
Of its absence of towering synagogues upon
the main thoroughfares and the conspicuous
ness of it's disrepatable resorts. The popu-
lation embraces plenty of good people, and
the circulation of twenty six copies of the
APPEAL in that city is, We hope, sufficient
guarantee of the moral and intellectual status
of the place. There is, in fact, hardly any
one in town who would take possession of
another mans cook stove if it's mean tempera-
ture was over $3.50 degrees Fahrenheit.

William Saunders, Superintendent of the
grounds of the Department of Agriculture,
Washington, recently read paper upon the
culture of the tea plant before the Horsicul
tural Society, New York. He believes that
the experiment of raising tea in the Southern
States may yet prove profitable. We can
never have perfect tea in this country till we
raise it, As the roasting process necessary to
fit it for long sea voyages robs it of its finest
qualities. He proposes that the government
make an Appropriation of s25, 900 and stock a
large farm so as to fairly test the matter

SACRIFICING The religion mania calling
for the sacrificing of children seems to be on
the increase to frightful extent. Since the
horrible Freeman tragedy in Massachusetts,
we have read of several other attempts to
Commit the same sort Of crime by persons
suffering with Insanity. the latest ease was
at Cherry Creek and is as follows: Hiram
q resident of Cherry Creek, where he was
always regarded thrifty, we'll doing man,
one day last week conceived the idea that the
wrath of God was upon him, and that he
must take the life of his youngest child in
order to appease that wrath. Filled with this
idea he seized carving knife and started for
the olhouse, about half a mile away,
where his daughter was pupil. Mrs.. Chester,
as soon as he started, ran for help, and was
fortunate enough to find two mon, who
hurried after and intercepted Chester before
he reached the school house, and these we're
soon joined by two other men. They hardly
knew how to approach him, as he held the
large carving. knife in his hand; but he spoke
to them and did not appear to be different
from usual, except that he insisted upon
staying his little girl to appease the wrath
that was consuming him. He gave up the
knife, however, and remained with the men
until a Constable came, who took him to
place of safety, and from there he will prob
bly, be taken to Stockton. He still complains
Of the consu ming wrath, but otherwise he is
perfectly rational.

A NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.

A late New York dispatch states that the
Panama Star and Herald contains the story of
sharp engagement between the Peruvian
ironclad ram, and turret steamer Ruascar,
and one Chilian ironclsd, and three wooden
steamers. The Peruvian wished to avoid a
conflict but to no purpose. After two hours
hard fighting, being conpletely disabled, the
Huascar hauled down the Peruvian fag and
surrendered. The unequal character of the
fight may be understood when it is known
that the Husscar had but two 800 Founders
to oppose to twelve, and that her armor was
four and one half inches as against nine
Subscriptions have been opened in Lima for
the purchase of an ironclad to be called the
Almirante 6rsu. Men give their money, their
houses, their estates, their watches, and even
their sleeve links. Women have thrown into
the fund their diamonds and silver plate One
lady sent diamond jswelry valued at $40, 900
Others have been equally liberal. The Arch
bishop of Lima heads the subscription with
So 200. Already nearly $500, 900 have been
collected. In spite of the feeling of sadness
at the loss of Admiral Grau and his ship, there
is no thought of Submission. A Commission
of two has already sailed from Aspinwall for
Europe to negotiate the purchase of another
ironclad, as the loss of this vessel leaves the
Peruvian coast and commerce at the mercy of
Chile. There are hints that the Spanish
Government may assist them in their great
distress.
