THE REPUBLICAN HIGH SCHOOL AT AL.
BAMY.

The Daily Standard of late date
says: ''The New York Legislature
has been the republican high school
where political finishing touches
peculiar to that party's teaching)
have been given to tyros in the art,
and if any member who has gradua-
ted there has not learned all the vii
lanies of his calling it is because he
was deaf, blind and brainless."
1t appears TO us unthoughted on
the part of any democratic organ to
locate school any place in the state
of New York where political villanies
are taught by any other party except
the bourbons themselves. 1t would
be impossible for any other party to
pretend to teach the alphabet to
villanies, frauds and political thefts
any where in that state, because the
democratic party have monopolized
the whole category of political crimes
and joberies there Tor more than
twenty years. The Standard has for
gotten that Tweed is the only one
that was ever punished there for his
political tbefts, aud then only when
it became SO apparent that the peo-
pie of the whole United States were
aroused TO the enormlty of the often
|ses that were going on. While they
dealt with him in a manner which he
deserved, yet they suffered horde
of-his followers to escape who were
equally guilty with him, and without
their assistance he could not have
controlled New York City and State
politics and engaged for so many
years in tnat wholesale system of
pilfering from the public treasury of
that city.
Ever since that time the elections
of the metropolis have been manipu-
lated in favor of the same party by
means Of various and sundry election
frauds, which are SO commonly known
and carefully studied by bourbons of
that place.
Mr. Standard you had best locate
that school at some other place i. here
We will be afforded ghost of
Chance.

THE CAMPAIGN IN VIRGINIA.
Boston Advertiser.)

The campaign in Virginia is to be
hot one, one of the most desperate
and bitter ever waged ahywhare.
The temper of it may be judged by
the temper OF the democratic side of
the senate toward General Malone
after he took his seat on the repub-
lican side and voted for a reorganiz
alton of the committees with the re-
publicans. All the energies ana re
sources of bourbonism in the south
and in the north will be taxed for
service and assistance to crush the
independent movement. Its success
in Virginia would imperl bourbon
ism in every southern state. From
what quarter Malone will obtain
help does not yet appear. But he
and the young mer who have joined
their fortunes TO his are an active set,
and they will be able, without much
outside aid, to make a powerful con-
test. He has succeeded thus far in
shaping the conditions of the battle
veay much as he would have them,
and appears to have a decided adj
vantage.

In the last issue of the GAZETTE
we published resolution of the u.
B. Conference in regard to certain
matters concerning Rev. |. Belknap,
and as is usual in all such cases, Mr..
Beiknap has handed us reply which
we publish this week. We know
nothing about the facts on either side
in this unpleasantness and we do not
wish to use the columns Of our paper
for the purpose Of promoting quarrels
between individuals. We think
newspapers should aim at higher
and better object and especially they
should be careful in publishing mat
ters while undergoing legal investi-
cation. They should let courts and
juries alone to perform their duties
without publishing matters calculated
to influence public feeling. We there
fore hope neither side of this affair
will ask us to publish anything more
in regard to this matter. Had the
resolution. of conference been brought
to us in person and not by mail, we
we would have tried to persuade the
parties not TO publish it.

The Fame Of the Oity.

A great rich city Of power and pride,
With streets full Of traders, and ships on the
tide;
With rich men and workmen, and judges and
preachers,
Tho shops full of skill, and the schools full Of
teachers.
The people were proud of their opulent town:
inc rich men spent millions 10 bring Its TO
nown;
Tho strong men built and the tradesmen
planned,
The shipmen sailed TO every land;
The lawyers argued, the teachers taught,
And poor shy poet his verses brought
And cast them into the splendid store.
The tradesmen stared at his useless craft,
The.rlch men sneered, and the strong men
laughed;
The preachers said 1t was worthless quite
The school-men claimed It was theirs to write,
But the songs were spared, though they added
naught
To the profit and praise the people sought
That was waited at last from distant climes.
And the town men said, "To remotest times
We shall send our name and our greatness
down."
The boast came true; but the famous town
Had lesson to learn when all was told
The nations that honorcd cared naught for its
gold.
Its skill they exceeded hundred fold;
II had only been one of thousand more
Had the songs of the poet beon lost to its store
Then the rich men and tradesmen and school
men said
They had never derided, but praised instead;
And they boast of the poet the town has bred

 Intermittent Fever.

Malaria, or intermittent fever, former ly unknown in New England, is spread ing from year to year, until it is almost as common in Massachusetts as it is in Michigan. Dr. Adams, of Pittsfield, in one of the papers published by the State Board of Health, attributes it to large surfaces of sedentary mud exposed to sun and air during long, dry season. Its appearance during or after long pe- riods of drought is so uniform as to for bid it's being regarded as coincidence Sewer digging in the streets is another source. It is carried to high and dry localities by the wind, and while it pre- vails typhoid fever diminishes or disap- pears. ''It is found to be most active near the surface of the ground; so that even the second stories of houses enjoy partial immunity. It has great affinity for moisture, and is most active over the surface covered by fogs. Its spread is retarded by sheet of water, which appears to absorb it. It is also absorbed by foliage, so that belt of trees is often found sufficient barrier to its progress" The injection of rab- bits with solutions of the soil and air of the marshes near Rome by two Italian professors in 1879 produced the symp- toms of malaria in the animals.

The Pleasure of Travelling with Cow.

A Fair Haven man bought 8 COW one morning at eight o'clock. At eleven o'clock he had lost confidence in the judgment that tempted him into the dairy business. The COW was obtained in neighhoring farming district, and the purchaser intended to drive home in his buggy with his investment attached behind it with rope connection. The intentions of the man were good. The intentions of the COW were very indiffer- ent. She compelled her new owner to drive leisurely, quite so, and to make frequent stops, and "induce' her to keep up with the team. She was under the impression that she had been bought for "hold back " when going down hill, and liked it so we'll that she hung back all the way along, It was three hours before the combination of man, horse, buggy and COW turned into Blatchley avenue, nearing home. An other element of zoology appeared at this point and made matters still more interesting for the man, for the horse, for the COW and for the buggy. It was Newfoundland dog whose s'bark went out to see, and conquered. The rope interfered with the cows ability to reach the dog, so she did the next best thing, and danced about until she had her horn and head entangled in the spokes of one of the buggy wheels. The horse, judg- ing that there was fun going on and that he was not enjoying his share, began to run away, but the cows horn in the buggy wheel prevented his taking any thing with him but the fragments of a harness, which he took in hurry. By this time the man had left the buggy seat, matter in which he had no choice, and with the assistance of some gentle manly neighbors was endeavoring to extricate the COW, while other gentle manly neighbors threw stones at the dog. The COW finally gave one grand jump and got clear, leaving the wheel spokeless and tireless.-Ne,U Haven Register.

Destruction of the Oyster.

On the authority of Lieutenant Winslow, of the United States Coast Survey, it looks as if the oyster would "go" before the Chinaman does. The oyster beds north of Maryland and Virginia are practically exhausted, and the present method of working the Maryland and Virginia beds will in a comparatively short time destroy them also. A clumsy dredge, weighing from five to thirty tons, is dragged back and forth, wrenching and crushing them, forcing others to lip downward into un- congenial mud, and generally much inn pairing reproductive power. This dredging is merciless and continuous, notwithstanding protective laws. By reckless working oyster beds on the northwestern coast of France diminished from 70,00O,O0 to 100000 in twenty five years and at Falmouth, England, a fishery which supported 700 men, in ten years, does not give work to forty. The lovers of this delicious bivalve ," will mourn at the prospect of 8 day when there will be no valves to buy.
