AIR-"Ihe WidosD Malone
Did We hear Of old Billy Malone,

In the Senate he sits on the throne.
Alone;
He deserted his flag
For bucket Of swag.
Did Billy, my own.
Malone, O'hone!
He fooled his Virginia friends
For ends
Which no honest person commends
Or defends;
He dragged through the mire
His toga for hire,
Did Billy, my own,
Malone, O'hone!
He has gone to the Radical camp.
The scamp.
He has gone without hope Of the lamp,
The tramp!
Though forever 1t burn
He shall never return,
Oh! Billy, my own,
Malone, O'hone!
Let the Radicals have him for aye,
Yigh, yigh!
They'll find like the pig in the sly
He's high;
So, with them let him.muster.
Bland old Readjuster;
Poor Billy, my own,

Though crossed;
For day will come to his cost
When frost
Will blight both the fame
And the name and. the game
OF Billy, my own,

1t isn't at all strange that such stur


It isn't at all strange that such sturdy
Debt Payers as William L. Royal,
should be now asking themselves the
question as he does; "Well, if Gen. Ma
hone and his policy suits the holders OF
Viaginia's bonds, in the name of -
let them have them, and we will stand
aside" Thousands of them, in view OF
the action of the Republican Senate, and
such organs of Northern sentiment as
the New York Herald, will say as Mr..
Royal does: I'VE will not, Of course,
under any circumstances whatever, be
accessory to furthering his plans of re-
pudiatiOn, but 1 do not see that we are
compelled to keep up the strife, il we
are to be denounced and he to be APP
plauded." Precisely so and the bond
holders will find out after awhile, that
they are indebted to the Republican par
ty aye, the highest representatives of
that party, for the blow that paralyzed
the only real debt-paying party in Vir-
ginia. Hereafter that party will attend
to its own interests, and the interests of
the Virginia people, as In duty 1t is
bound to do and leave the public credi-
tors to attend to theirs, Is best they can.
The Republicans have taken the chief
of the Repudiators to their bosom, and
now they may make the most Of the
situation. xgncs6urg Niryinian.

Canadian Wild Rice.

Through the kindness of Judge
LaPenotiere, of Enterprise, we have
been put in possession of seeds of the
wild rice sent him direct from
Canada. We will distribute it TO
our subscribers who would like 10
plant it in their lakes. An exchange
says of it:
The Canadian Government is
said to be trying to cultivate and
stimulate the growth of the plant
known as wild rice" in all the in
land waters Of the dominion. Il is
now found in many ponds, lakes and
rivers Of Canada, nearly 10 the
Arctic circle. II grows annually
from seed, and induces the presence
of enormous flocks of wild fowl in
the Autumn, which visit these rice
lakes and extensive beds for food. In
Lake Erie, it grows in water six TO
eight feet deep, and millions OF reed
birds, as well as ducks and other
waterfowl, resort there, and afford
fine shooting. Sportsmen's clubs are
also taking means 10 extend its
growth, as 1t attracts game of all
kinds. In Rice Lake, where it grows
prolifically, it has been cut before
seed-time by manufacturers, who
find its fibre, taken from the under
surface of the water to a depth OF
six or seven feet, 10 be very valuable.
1t affords, it is said, the strongest
kind of fibre known for making ban

No Fear for Florida.

The Snva'aaadh Ne,cs, one of the
best papers published in the South,
says:
Florida need have no fear or over
stocking the market with her semi.
tropical and tropical fruits. We read
that the fruit trade of New Orleans
with the tropical regions is becoming
an important feature in the general
commerce OF the Crescent City. A
few years ago few small schooners
sutficed to carry ali The bananas, co
coannts, plantans, pine apples, lem
ons and other fruits imported from
Honduras, and the business was net
regarded as profitable. But owing
to the increasing demard i'll the
Western STATES for these fruits, the
trade i'll them has grown into large
proportions, and there are now four
steamships, i'll addition to sailing
vessels, engaged III it. They obtain
their cargoos on the islands that lie
off the coast OF Honduras, and OH the
mainland, and bring them 10 New
Orleans, whence they are distributed
by steamboat and rail through the
West and Northwest. The Honduras
government encourages the trade by
exempting vessels from port charges
and granting them desirable prlyi.
legs.

the insects begin to move about,
blow some OF the powder on them
through the small bellows sold for
the purpose. This should be done
