Northern Votes "ill Pay for It.

The news from Alabama establish
the fact that there is no relaxation in
the work of controlling the elections
of the South on the part of the South
ern Democrats. There are two plans
praoticed. One is to intimidate the
voter into voting the Democratic
ticket; the other is to let him vote as
he pleases, and then throw out his
vote and substitute others as de-
manded. The latter seems 10 be the
easier way and may be said, in some
localities at least, to be superseding
the former. The extent TO which
these methods are carried il is i'm
possible to Judge accurately. From
thousands of polling places where
they are used we get no information;
but what we do hear is enough to
convince ony unprejudiced man even
if Democrat, that it ia in this way
that the colored Republican vote 10
several Of the Southern states is
overcome and the state wrongfully
given to the Democrats. Among
Southerners there ia no ooncealment
of this state OF affairs and in a large
percentage Of cases it ia not consid-
cred disgracetul. 1t is understood
that the whites are to control the
South by fair means or foul. Thus
it is that it is hopeless to expect any
change for the better, until the col.
ored people recover from the blight
ing effects Of slavery and learn to as
sert their manhood. 1t may be that
Northern Republicans have not done
their duty in assisting them to assert
their rights. 1t may be that North
err orators ought to take their lives
in their hands and hold meetings all
tn. ough the South. But whatever
ought TO be done, the fact of what is
done remains. And that fact is that
the ballot in most OF the Southern
States is farce and that for the
present the matter is beyond our
control.
But there is law OF compensation

An IrOnless Civilization.

Mr.. A. Woeikof, in narrative of his
travels in Yucatan and the Southeastern
states of Mexico, introduces us to So
called @civilized" people, who are prac-
tically unacquainted with the uses of
iron. Writing about the northern por-
ton of the State of Chiapas, he says
that the inhabitants employ iron only
in tho shape of axes and machetes,
which are imported from the United
States. For the distance of 100 kilo-
meters round about Pa]enque not one
blacksmith is to be found. Not q sin
gle nail is to be seen in their houses;
everything is held together with cords
or with vines. Even in the preparation
of their usual article of food-tortillas
the apparatus they employ is equally
primitive, though in this respect they
follow the custom which is universal
throughout all Mexico and Central
America. The grains of the maize are
crushed between two stones, one of
which, the neither one, is rather large,
with a sloping upper surface. A woman
kneels by this stone and strews upon it
some grains of maize, over which she
works to and fro another stone of CYL
indrical form, so grinding the maize.
The coarse meal so obtained is baked
into fiat tortilla-cakes in the ashes. This
is exactly the mode of preparing meal
in vogue in Central and South Africa
the African negroes, however, show a
higher grade OF culture, inasmuch as
they understand the working of iron.
Our author caustically remarks here
upon that "the introduction even of
hand-mills would be, for this country,
a step of progress of far more value
than many high-sountling political
prerogative, which can pever be of any
advantage to population living in SO
low q grade of civilization"

Pigs and Politicians.

Prof. Tyndall, in his very interesting
volume, "The Glaciers Of the Alps
speaks of sleeping one bitter cold night
upon the mountains, in a cow-house
attached to Swiss chalet. He was
prevented from sleeping by group OF
pigs which occupied the ground floor
under him. To use the language of the
volume: @The object of each individ.
ual of the group was to secure for
himself the maximum amount of heat,
and hence the outside members were
necessarily trying to become inside
ones" This is a very good illustration
of political parties. The warm pigs in
side think all is right, and ct:uggle to
keep the others where they arc; the
outside pigs are ever struggling for a
warm place, and growl and squeal and
complain that all is wrong besause they
are out in the cold. It is 80 in the
nation, so in the State, SO in town, a
continual contention between the cold
and the warm pigs. Most of the politics
of the day is that of position.

Monster Spiders,

q hairy spider with a body two inches
long, and eight legs, measuring seven
inches each. Il was On a tree trunk be-
meath deep crevice, across which was
stretched dense white web. The lower
part of the web was broken, and two
small finches were entangled in the
pieces. Ono was still alive, but died
soon after its rescue. The hairs of these
crab spiders come off when touched and
cause maddening irritation. He says
that he saw the children of an Indian
family with one of these monsters Sc
cured by cord, and leading it about
