rosy letter to te Couafer-Jou,muk
after tbs Chicago 'rcss banpnet. lIo'
checrtully CONCLUDES: "And The South
is very prosperals. People rarely
quarrel who arc taking money. They
fall out when the! don't make it. All
this talk about. wlat Garfield is eoinp
to do for n Southern policy is pure
driVcl. If lie behman of sense. as
take him to be, hlwill have no South

q Northern policy All Of us arc get

tinuc to do SO, tie government must
let pretty well lone. It was med.
ding and muddliIg that between 1865
and 1873 lost tfB Republicans their
grip, They havdit back through no
merit of theirs, bit through the faults
and tollics Of thcDemocrats. If they
would retain ID they must behave
themselves. If uey don't do this tho
Democrats will 4me in again. That
IS the long and Up short of it; and, as
we are concornedin tho South, We arc
officially indiffeltnt. We have put
our house in ordf and we propose to
keep it in order. We arc busy, doing
well and defy sectional partisans-
either the fools aid bigots among our
serves or the foas and bigots Of the
North-to hurt sor hinder us. The
South is as independent as a wood
sawyer. AS tine passes this will
appear III many practical shapes; in
substantial and solid improvements; /;
III larger intercourse with the world !:
III a better understanding of home i'm
tcrcsts, material and spiritual; in
moral emancipation, wherein the spell

a WONDERFUL SwALLOwER.-Geo
wilson, more faniliarly known as the
'''trog man," died in Straflord few
days ago. Last vuly he caught q frog
and swallowed il alive. This was i'm
the forenoon, andi in the afternoon he
complained OF a severe pain in his
stomach. lie was sick several weeks
under the care of a physician, and got
better. The first of last month he
came back to Strafford, but had work
eel but n few days when he was taken
SICK with inflammation Of the stomach
and bowels. There is no doubt but
his death resulted from the swallow
ing OF that frog. Wilson seemed to
have mania for swallowing living
things. On one occasion he caught a
green snake more than Il foot long, and
swallowed it alive. At another time
nc caught n black snake, about five
feet long, cut it open, took ont its
heart, and swallowed it while pulsat
ing. AT the time he swallowed tho
frog the first time, his frogship, not
I1E1nO his 0n0rfnrc frn 4
came back. 1t was not until the sec
ond or third time he swallowed il that
nc succeeded imprisoning him in his
stomach Dorei' Democrut.
1t is reported in Washington that
the liyclicst opposition that the advo-
Gates of position for Bruce in Gar

from the officers in the navy, on the
circulation of the report that he was

tary OF that department. The officers
or the department are the most aristo-
cratic and exclusive Of any in the pub
