w. Mattieu Williams, F. r. A. S., in
an article on the inundation of portion
of the Desert of Sahara, producing by
means of a canal a new inland sea,
speaks of the new climate that would
exist far around, of the luxuriant vege-
tation that would spring up, Of the in
creased and spreading rainfall swelling
the rivers. He thinks that, quite apart
from political consideration, it is desira-
bic that France should acquire sufficient
control over the Tunisian region to be
able TO carry out this grand project,
which may be practically and proftably
done, provided the revenues created by
the fertilizing of the land surrounding
this new Mediterranean are devoted to
repaying the cost of cutting the canal,
which must have a considerable width
and depth in order to carry the very
large quantity of water that will be de-
manded to compensate the evaporation
from the flooded surface.

The Descendants of the Bounty Mu
tiDeerS.

The story of the mutineers on the ship
Bounty, who settled on Pitcairn Island
in 1890, is one familiar to every school
boy, but interest in the tale has been re-
vived in San Francisco by the arrival
there of Daniel Mccoy, who is a grand
son of one of the mutineers, and has
lived on Pitcairn Island all his days
Being seen by a reporter, Mccoy stated
that the community which he has just
left is a model one in point of morality,
and that the general condition of the in
habitants is good. No liquor is allowed
on the island, and the religion of the
community Is the Episcopal. At present
there are but ninety six persons there,
but on Norfolk Island there is a popula-
ton of 700, the product of an emigration
from Pitcairn in 1856. About one half
the land on the island is cultivated, and
the crops of grain, vegetables and semi
tropical fruits, together with the poultry
and goats raised by the islanders, supply
them with an abundance Of wholesome
food. They have no horses nor cattle.
The inhabitants are simple in their tastes,
correct in their relations, industrious,
frugal and religious. Their chief recrea-
ton is singing. They observe Sunday
with great striciness, and never indulge
in gaming. card PLAYING, or dancing.

Party movements in New York and
Brooklyn may be interesting to the disin-
terested observer. But they have part
ed widely from the square stand up con-
tests between the old Wings and Demo
Gratis, and the Democrats and Republi-
cans of past years. The stalwarts and
half-breeds are by no means reconciled
TO each others modes and aspirations.
The halls" on the Democratic side are
fighting the people; and there are five
candidates of one sort and another for
Mayor in Brooklyn city. The bosses
deal in votes as y peanuts, and each
would sell out for a position in which
there were grab-bags hanging about.

Tyner's plea, compared with these of the

He makes the claim that he did his duty

assertions to be false. This is consider
ably better than threatening to make it

Physicians Advice of How to G ain
Health.
HARRISBURG, PA, March 30, 1881.

HARRISBURG, PA, March 30, 1881.
Nothing is more charming and attractive
than thoroughly healthy, perfectly formed
woman; bright-eYed, rosy, laughing, joy
Gus, happY-faced girl, one who finds keen
pleasure in merely living. An invalid wife
or mother is a constant object of sympathy
in an otherwise contented household. Happy
the home whose women folk enjoy perfect
health. In my practice l have always re
commended sickly women to use Browns
Iron Bitters. In case of irregularities, dys-
pepsia, indigestion, heartburn, nausea, sour
stomach, nervousness and exhaustive de-
bility, find it exceeds all other remedies as
a true medicinal tonic. 1t never fails to
gently soothe, refresh and strengthen the
general system, and especially those parts
made weak by continued distress; and what
satisfies me most is, that the cures, although
in some instances gradual, are always per-
manent.-M. d.

We fail to appreciate the forbearance
Of the authorities, State and National,
in Richmond, Virginia, over the recent
disgraceful and outrageous conduct of
the Ninth Massachusetts, Regiment when
in that city. True, having been invited
to the city they were guests and should
have been cOurteOusly received But
when they had violated every principle of
hospitality and common decencytO such
an extent that the Governor of Virginia
was forced to order them summarily to
leave the city, they forfeited all claims
to further consideration, and should
have been treated only as what they
were-ruffiaHly b.acSguards.

1t is the private opinion very publicly
expressed of every man in the State of
Georgia, as far as we have been able to
learn, that the appointment of a cOlOred
Radical as United States Deputy Marshal
for this section Of the State by General
Longsueet was done for apurpose. Mr..
Arthur has declared his belief that the
General had not yet given sufficient
proof of his repentance for having been
a Confederate to qualify him for Cabi-
net position. Now the General evil
IDENTIFY wants to show the President that
if. in his opinion. he has not already
proven his loyalty, he is perfectly ready
and willing to do anything more which
the President may desire.

"Cerro GordO' Williams got in several
bulls ewes on the Radicals in the Senate
on Saturday when he said Il never
dreamed, Mr.. President, that | should
live TO see the day when an exConfed-
crate Brigadier would lead the Republi-
can hosts to defeat or hear an old slave
owner call the roll of his faithful ser
wants not at the base of Bunker Hill,
but in the chamber of the Senate Of the
United States"
Malone is reported to have smiled
broadly at this Outburst of the bluff old
veteran. but the fact that was made clear
IN him. that the men whom he betrayed
can block his game, was calculated to
sadden him considerably.

The potato crop. like the other staple
agricultural products, is reported to be
cut greatly short by the drought. The
general estimate now is a crop of o6 per
cent, and making allowance for some
increase of acreage, this would produce
an aggregate yield of 125. 900, coo bush
els-the smallest since 1878.

In the debate in the COrtes at Madrid,
on Saturday. Senior Sagasta said that
while the government would do all in its

Britain. He cited in proof of the gov

The Democrats scored two points in
the Lynchburg post office fight-that the
solicitude of tue Radical party for
manned Boys in Blue is woefully hollow,
and that Mr.. Malone can't deliver the
goods he bargained for. The Republi-
cans affect indifference, but unless

The Memorial DiplOmatique, Of Paris,
states that Earl Granville. British For
eign Secretary, will propose that the
European powers send an identical note
to Washington courteously rejecting the
conclusions of Secretary Blaine's circu-
lar note with regard to the Panama
canal. No dependence can be placed,
however, on this report unless it is cor
roborated from some authoritative
source, and so far it lacks such cOnfrma-
ton.

Senator Hill may have lost TO consider
able extent the use of his tongue, but
it cannot be denied that he made good
use of his hands when he penned, and
offered, during the closing hours of the
Senate on Saturday, his resolution-call-
ed forth by the nomination of Statham
to the LYnchburg postmastership-to the
effect that the bestowal of offices under
the Federal Government for the purpose
of influencing or controlling State cleo
lions was "unwise, unpatriotlc and con
trary to the spirit of our political insti-
buttons" and if continued would result
in danger to the country.
No resolution embodying more sound
practical truth has ever been offered in
either house of Congress, as has been
abundantly demonstrated in the past.
Ever since the Republican party came
into power the practice of using public
offices for private and political ends has
been generally adopted, and especially
was such practice rendered prominently
conspicuous during Grants administra-
tions, and the world knows the history
of those administrations. Corruption
everywhere rampant; nepotism and IA
voritism disgracing the land: thieving
rings and cliques fostered and encour-
aged even in the White House
and in Congress, and permeating
the whole land, while the national
capital became so corrupt that it was a
common saying that when the moon
passed over Washington the man
who inhabits that planet was forced to
hold his nose. These and injustice, ty-
ranny and fragrant violation of constitu-
tional rights characterized that period of
American history and made the title of
American citizen" to be the scorn of
the civilized world. Surely if common
sense and the instinct of justice and self
preservation were not Of themselves con-
vincing that the abandonment of the old
Jeffersonian standard for Federal ap-
pointments-hOnesty, capacity. integ-
rity-and the use of Federal patronage
for personal and political ends alone,
are dangerous to our republican institu-
tons, Grants administration should
stand out boldly as a substantial proof
of that fact. Yet Mr.. Arthur, when he
inaugurates his administration by adopt
ing similar courses, gives evidence both
that he is unmindful of the teachings of
the past, and that Grant is standing too
near the Executive chair for the public
welfare.

Nobody dreamed that the Won
derful reservoir that has for twenty
years supplied petroleum to the world,
and which underlays so much of the
territory of Pennsylvania and West Yir-
ginia. would ever become exhausted,
but from the failure of so many Of the
once most prolific oil wells, it is plain
that there may be an end to this petrO-
leum supply. The oil operators are be-
ginning to fear such a contingency.

It seems that the mission of certain of
the Virginia Readjuster leaders to New

to pay the poll tax for the negroes and
for such other uses as are common at
election times.
