A Short Novel.

Chicago Tribune.l
Mr.. Froude sends us little novel
which we print with pleasure and in
small type, as it is paid for By the
foot.
1T was autumn.
Yes, merry, golden-tinted autumn.
The sun poured down its mellow rays
on the laughing fields of grain, and all
nature seemed to rejoice in the glad.
ness of the harvest. The little birds
twittered and sang their sweetest and
cheeriest notes in the branches of the
old oak trees that skirted the foot of a
cloud-topped hill, while the big ones
sat still and looked at them. Far
away to the right lay vast marsh,
in which watercresses, sweet smelling
sedges, and bullfrogs gently mingled.
Don't forget that it was a pretty
sight.
Suddenly boat was seen shooting
out from the messy banks that encircle
the marsh like a chaplet of laurel. In
the little craft are seated young man
and a maiden; be was strong-limbed
and handsome, his face bronzed by
the kisses Of the burning sun and
scent-laden brepses she fair and deli
cate like the lily, or a Chicago base
ball club.
With powerful strokes he sends the
boat shooting through the water,
while the ripples fall away on either
side. Suddenly the maiden utters a
faint shrek, and a pallor o'erspreads
her lovely cOuntenance.
She has seen a bulltrog.
One hand drops nerveless by her
side, and from it fell her hat-a dainty
thing of straw and canvass trimmed
with flowers. The young man at once
plunged into the water to recover the
hat. The cruel waves closed over his
fair young head, the last thing seen
being the part in the middle of it.
But he omitted to come up again.
After waiting until it was a betting
point that he had gone to stay, The
maiden rose in the. boat and gave a
despairing shrek.
Dead, dead for duck bat, /" 81 c
moaned, and fell over the starboard
side, never knowing that she had got
off a good thing.
That night the sexton in a little
village near the lake laid down one
pair, and he was not playing poker
eitl er. The pair was the two lovers
who had died that day and been fshed
out later in the evening.
But where was the bullfrog that
caused this calamity?
Oh. where indeed?

WAsHGNdroE, March 16.--There
was very large increase in the re-
ceipts at the treasury during the
month Of February over the corre-
spending month a year ago, but the
increase during the first halt of March
has been even larger, The customs
yeoeipts for the first fifteen days Of
March wore plpe millions, or three
and half millions greater than the
corresponding days last year, while the
internal revenue receipts during the
fifteen days named we're over eight
hundred thousand dollars greater than
fol ibe same time last year. The
entire receipts for the fifteen days
were thirteen millions and a
half, while the expenditures were
only four and a quarter millions,
leaving ? surplus of over nine and a
quarter millions for the first half OF
the month. This is most extraor-
binary showing, and if receipts keep
up during the month the reduction OF
the public debt for March will
amount TO eighteen or nineteen mil
iloas But this is scarcely probable,

five per cent loan will be due. The
secretary will have at least ten mil
lions to invest in six per cent bonds
this month, however, and will con
tinue to make purchases at the rate OF
two millions a week, or thereabouts.
As there have been some delay and
disappointment about purchases OF
bonds because prices at which they
were offered we're too high in Secre-
tary Sherman's judgment, it has been
suggested that he fix the price him
self and issue circular asking for six
per cent bonds of 1880, for instance,
to be delivered to the government at
lO5s, which is trife below the mar
ket. Such a plan, it is believed, will
secure regularity in purchases and a
steady market.

ties have ceased interfere in the in
ternal affairs of the south, and the re-
suit is that the color line is gradually
passing away and that the blacks are
infinitely better off politically than
they were under the old regime. This
is true OF nearly every southern state,
but especially so of Georgia, South
Carolina, Mississippi, North Carolina
and Virginia. In the latter state the
two old parties arc hopelessly divided
on the debt question, and the blacks
are arranging themselves some on one
side and some on the other. Without
entering into discussion of the causes
that has brought about this result in
Virginia, the change is decidedly for
the better. The blotting out Of the
color line is the greatest blessing that
could fall upon the south.

HUGH ]. JEwETT.

A great many people are beginning
to inquire, "Who is Jewett, anyhow"
We can say that whoever and what
ever he is, he is the cause OF first
class 'boom," and will soon be about as
prominent and familiar to the readers
of newspapers as any of real or prob
able democratic candidate for presi-
dent. His name appears in nearly
every paper we pick up.
1t is claimed for him that
his public and private record is
unassailable. His political life, we
believe, is limited to a single term in
congress as representative Of Ohio.
The greater portion of his life has
been devoted to railroad business.
He has managed several roads in his
time and worked them up to high
state of prosperity. Although iden-
] titled with New York, where he now
, lives, he is essentially an Ohio
man, and it is believed can
carry that state. He is receiver
of the Erie railroad at a salary of
$4,000 per annum. 1t is said that he
is popular with all classes in New
York and Ohio, that' Tilden and
Kelly would unite upon him provided
that TildeD is not candidate, and
that he could easily carry both those
great states. 1t is further stated that
nearly all the railroad men in the eoun-
try, irrespective of party, would
support him heartily. Sixty thousand
men find employment under him in
New York, This would give him a
tremendous advantage to start with
over and above the regular democratic
vote. There is a growing disposition
on the part of the people to choose
business men TO manage puDllc aHalrs
rather than a hero Of the war or a
party hack. 1t may be the part ol
wisdom to select solid business man
who has but little connection with
politics and can be depended on to ad
minister the affairs Of the country in {
straightforward manner, keeping ii
view the general welfare ofall sections
the development of our resources, en-
couragement of industry and protec
ton Of commerce. Ifthis view should
prevail in the Cincinnati convention
Mr.. Jewett would certainly stand I
good chance for the nomination,

A QUIET young man, with good
prospects Of succeeding in life, few
into passion yesterday in a contro-
versy with colored drayman, ran for
his pistol and shot him dead. The
drayman was possibly in the wrong,
but the difficulty could have been
settled without resorting to a pistol.
There is grief in an humble home,
and the hasty young man is locked up
to await the action of the grand jury.
We do not pretend to sit
in Judgment in the case, or to
anticipate the result ofthe trial. The
deed is done and the dead cannot be
brought to life. 1t is a sad affair, and
should be warning to young men
who depend upon deadly weapons to
settle their disputes. The mau who
is not armed rarely gets into difficult
ty. 1t may be well enough for every
man to have gun or pistol in his
house, or even in his place Of business,
but it is not justi6able for any man to
carry a pistol about his person in the
street. We know brave men who
have faced death on many bloody
field and who would not brook an in
suit, yet who mingle freely with the
world, who toll by day and by night
and yet never think of carrying a
pistol: 1t is barbarous practice, it is
brutalizing, and is the cause of more
murders than whisky. The law
against concealed: weapons, though
not perhaps applying to thil
particular case, should DO rigidly
enforced and public sentiment brought
to bear SO strongly that every man o.
any self respect will be ashamed tc
have it known even to his most in i
mate friends that he ever carries {
pistol. Those who act right seldom
get into trouble requiring the use o
deadly weapons, Every father should
teach his sons that it is manly to de-
pend upon the arms that nature ha,
given them in getting through thC
world.

The Color Line in the South.


New York Herald'l
Mr., Ruby, the colored editor of the
organ Of the colorcd race in New
Orleans, in his examination before the
exodus committee at Washington, has
given some important evidence which
goes to show that if the whites and
blacks had been allowed to manage
their own affairs without dictation
from Washington, the relations Of the
two races would long ago have been
adjusted upon a satisfactory basis
Referring to former campaigns he said
that while there were several parishes
where the negroes we're not allowed to
60 to the polls unless they voted the
democratic ticket there were other
localities in which the white conser-
yative planters we're so strong that
they insisted upon fair play aud al
lowed the negroes to do as they
pleased. Instead Of encouraging this
white conservative element the policy
of the last national administration
was, by Its thick and thin support OF
the carpet Dagger, to drive them over
to the side of the "bulldozers." and
bring about reign of terror in the
state. which would afford a plea for
the use Of the military.

came into power the federal authori-

such poor figure. He made rather
a favorable impression upon the few
who became acquainted with him, but
it seems that he afterward became an
habitual drunkard, and when under
the influence Of liquor he was very
dOmineering and was even inselent
and insulting to ladies. Upon one oc-
casion he took advantage Of the abb
sence of brother officer, wheh he
was stationed at an isolated post, and
made himself very offensive to his

was the beginning Of his serious
trouble. He was disgrace TO the
