A Coon SHow-ANeto Deal. Mayor
King, of Philadelphia, produced quite a
sensation in that cityon the 9Th inst, by
appointing Uharles Is Drape, a coIored
man, as policeman, to look after affairs
on the south side of Spruce street, be-
tween Seventh and Eleventh streets,
1t is good place for Democratic
Mayor to plant an African policeman.
The voters on those four squares voted
hugely against General Hancock, and
it Is right that their local interests
should bo looked after by a man of
taste. Everybody can now SPRUCE up
and down on that street with perfect
safety. We notice by our city ex.
changes that the streets were block.
AIDED for squares (by the people, to see
National Ward" arrayed in blue
cloth and brass buttons, as a policeman
for the first time, although the"Ward"-
keepers friends have held the Office of
Mayor for twenty years.

Thirty.one species are found IN the

that the Allegheny river fishes have
the whole range Of the thousands Of
miles of waters OF the Ohio and Missis

are enormous In size, occasionally run

four weeks TO find out that q rib had

The GROUND ON FmE.--Tho Savan.
nah (Ga.) NelcS contains the following
For about two months dense smoke
on the Carolina side of the Savannah
River has been visible every day from
this city, aud once or twice during
that period the wind, settling in this
direction, has filed our streets with
the disagreeable odor of burning veg.
etable matter, On making inquiry we
learn that the smoke arises from the
burning of the turf or peat of rice
fields in that locality, which took fire
during the dry weather in May, and
soon made such progress as 10 defy all
attempts to extinguish it. The Delta,
Cheves and Proctor plantations, we
are told, have already suffered greatly,
while every day increases the damage
to an alarming extent. Large areas
of the rich peat soil Of those valuable
plantations have already been burnt
out down to the wet sea level, entail.
ing damage to the soil that will require
centuries TO repair.

DEFIANT.--The two men who bought
UP Indiana last October, and made
Garfeld's election possible, were Geo.
G. Gorhan and Stephen W. Dorsey.
They raised the money from million
aire monopolists, and also from Brady
and other ring thieves Dorsey was
afterwards complimented by public
banquet in New York, at which Gen.
Arthur alluded to tho means used to
carry Indiana, the key of tho cam.
paign, as being documents and plenty
of --. This is the reason Dorsey
and Gorham are so bold and defiant,
and snap their fingers at Messrs. James
and MacVeagh. They know enough
to blow up the whole Republican or
ganization, and that they dare not be
placed behind the bars, like Kemble
with the Camerons, who compelled his
pardon with q threat to expose the
State administration at Harrisburg.
