WHITTIER DRIFTING.
NO. City Item.

With each succeeding decade politi-
cal corruption in the United States
appears to be on the increase; and if
gigantic frauds occur less frequently
small scandals are more numerous
than ever. An astonishingly large
number of men who have obtained
high political positions have foul re-
cords. The focus of corruption at
Washington is fed by all the great
cities, where the rottenness of NUM-
cipal politics results generally in the
election of unworthy men. The am
bition of all small politicians is to be-
come great politicians; and the small
ward politian Of the city sooner or
later dreams of going to Congress.
According to the present increase OF
corruption it would seem that should
things continue as they now are, the
nation will finally he governed and
represented 10y it's buns. And a bum
President may be expected in that
case to take his seat in the White
House, and appoint Cabinet OF buns.
Already great men have disappeared
from our politics. How many living
Senators or Cabinet officers are there
whose names will so down to posteri-
ty with glory? how many are there
whose memories will be reyerenced
by generations to come? If there are
any, let them be named. Greatness
in politics yielded to mediocrity after
the war; but mediOcrity now bids fair
to give place to something worse.
What will come next?
The ancientrepublics were destroy
ed by internal corruption; they rotted
and becoming morally rotten, were
easily shattered to pieces by brute
force. There is strong probability
that modern republics are liable to the
same end. The rottenness is visible;
the latent brute force to destroy is not
wanting. Ambition can always mine
it from the mass of society, as iron
for a sword.
A solid foundation of law and order
and prosperity came out of the an
cient anarchy which destroyed repub-
lies, even as out of the eater came
forth meat. But liberty was lost by the
change and it was q heavy price to
pay. American liberty may be lost
in like fashion. There might. be a
Brutus for a Caesar but the act OF
Brutus did not save Rome from I'M
perialism. The act of an American
Brutus would probably precipitate
what is most to be dreaded. These
are not vain dreams. There is aparty
of colossal wealth and influence in
the United States hoping and schem-
ing for change in the form of ma
tional government, and willing to aid q
any ambition which aaims at effecting

In the New York Cat Market.

A number Of Maltese cats and kittens
occupy cages at the entrance to curiu ~,
basement in Liberty street. When they
are not asleep they new dismally and
plainly long for the liberty Of house

"Can it be possible that any part of
this community buys cats ?" the keeper
OF the basement was asked. He was
unable TO answer at once, for man
brought IN just then a barrel full of
stale bread. The dogs of all varieties
in the basement clanked their chains and
yowled, the poultry crowed and cackled,
and the cats, too, moved and looked
anxious.

dealer was asked again.

"Maltese kittens bring from three to

we'll, because they are not so likely to
stay at home and keep early hours, and

Superstitions Of Whale Fishers.

At the present day it is the common
est thing in the world for whale fishers
to burn an efigy in order to "bring
luck" If the ship has fallen in with
few whales the crew attribute their bad
fortune to their having some unlucky
individual on board, and by burning his
efigy they believe that his mal1gi in
fuence is got rid of.
The most unpopular man in the ship
is generally picked upon as the offend
ing party. Sometimes two or three
pictures are burned, one after anotheC
if luck is very bad, and on an average
one is burned in each whale ship every
season.
The practice is very old one, and is
said to have taken rise from similar
custom which prevailed among the her
ring fishers of Banfshire, by whom it
was introduced on board the Peterhead
whalers. A century or two ago not
merely efigies, but living men and
women were burned on suspicion of
casting blight upon the herring fish,

A Snake as a Teething Ring.

Mr.. Robert James, who arrived in this
city yesterday from Chicot county, tells
of a horrify1ng incident which he stated
has just taken place in that county. A
farmer returning ct noon from the field,
whil3 passing through the yard, discov-
cred his little boy, about year old,
sitting near the fence with one end of
what seemed to be leather strap in his
mouth, while with both hands he held
the strap near the middle. Approach
ing the father was Mortified to find that
that the child held @ snake, and the
snake squirmed, but the little fellow
pulled and closed his mouth as tightly
as though he were trying to bite off the
serpents head. The father seized the
child and tore the snake from his hands.
The snake was of the black species, and
though not poisonous, might have
wound its body around the boy and
choked him to death. This would seem
to settle the old dispute as to whether
or not human beings fear of snake
is innate or the result of education. 1t
may have been that the child was teeth
ing and wanted something to bite, and
in the absence of rubber or painted
stick adopted the snake as substitute.
Those who naturally feel an interest as
to the fate of the snake, may rest as
sured that it was killed. Memphis

Population OF Africa.

People who have forgotten their
school statistics may be surprised to
learn that the population of Africa is
much greater than that Of North and
South America We are apt to think of
Africa as mostly desert and wilderness,
with here and there a few tribes of
Arabs or villages of negroes. Beyond
the borderland with which civilization
is familiar, it is natural to think Of the
inhabitants of Africa as few and far be-
tween, like our Indians. AS matter
of fact, Africa is much more thickly in
habited than America. Authorities
which set the population of the latter
at "a, $4,000, give the former 203,-
100000. In the Soudan the population
is rated at 100000, one town on the
Niger containing $4,000 inhabitants.
East Africa is rated at 10000, 900, and
equatorial Africa is rated 100000
souls. It is estimated that the mem
bers of the negro race number 40, 900,
600. Many of the tribes, says our au-
thority, are above the condition of saw
ages. They have fixed habitations,
though merely mud huts, defended by
stockades, and they have some laws or
customs favorable to commerce. Among
several tribes the native merchant is
greatly esteemed, and property is safe
even during the war. The land is cul-
tivated; the inhabitants wear dyed
cotton clothes; gold and iron are in.
geniously manufactured, and certain
kind of intelligence seems to be very
slowly spreading.

Some people have such odd ideas of
joke A man on board an Australian
steamer just leaving Plymouth Harbor
shouted "Man overheard |" The life
boat was lowered, but became entangled,
and two men were drowned. AS nobody,
except the two, were missing, it was be-
lieved that somebody shouted "man
overheard for " the fun of it." Again,
a peaceable man was walking the streets
OF New York, when he heard man say
to another in an excited manner "Let
me go; Til have his hearts blood"
Breaking away from his companion, he
approached the peaceable citizen, raised
his clenched fist, and then whipped out
his knife. The citizen cut his hand in
struggling with the rufiian, but finally
knocked him down. Upon being taken
before magistrate, the rowdy explained
that he was "only fooling little"
The American express company has
introduced into New York the system
Of Harvesting three horses abreast, after
the fashion of the London omnibuses
The change has been made on two of
the wagons for an experiment, with very
satisfactory results. The wagons are
supplied with two poles instead of one,
and each of the three horses is attached
to q separate whiffletree. This is found
to be decided improvement over the
system sometimes used of putting one
horse in shafts and another at each side.
The Harvesting is practically the same
as with two horses, with two poles in
stead Of one. The experiment. is tried
upon the wagons that deliver goods in
the upper part of the city, not only be-
cause the loads are frequently too heavy
for two horses, out to enable the driy-
ers to make up for lost time with an in
creased rate of speed, when from any
cause they are delayed from the start.
Garfeld's wonderful power of endur-

upon him recalls other instances of the
kind even more marvellous, as having oc-
CURED in days when surgery was far
less skillful and humane than now.
Lord Peterborough, the conqueror of
Spain under Queen Anne, underwent
the most frightful operation known to
science when past sixty, and week
later started on journey across Europe
with post-horses, feeling no i'll effects
whatever. Nelson, naturally sickly,
and having already lost an eye and
arm, was struck at the battle of the
Nile by an iron splinter, which literally
ripped from the bone the entire flesh
of his upper face, leaving it hanging like
veil over his eyes and mouth, yet he
not only preserved his consciousness
during the dressing of this horrible
wound. but actually continued to direct
the course of the battle. Luigi Cornaro,
the famous Venetian senator, nephew
OF the celebrated Doge of that name,
having broken the bone of his thigh at
eighty three, bore the setting of it
without finching, and subsequently re-
covered the full use of the limb. Equally
resolute, though less fortunate, was
Duke Albrecht, of Austria, who, when
the court surgeon shrank from operating
upon his diseased limb, placed the edge
of battle-ax on the joint, and with one
blow of his mace drove it right throug b
He survived this primitive surgery only
