Slightly Mixed.

This is not only one of the most offish
of all the off years, politically consider
ed, but it is a year when the situation is
most awfully mixed. In Maine we find
Democrats and Greenbackers in alliance
IN Virginia, Republicans and Repudia-
tors; in Missouri, Republicans and
Greenbackers are flirting and paving the
way for match, while in Kentucky and
Texas the same parties are very ''sweet"
on each other. In Pennsylvania the Re
publicans are rent in twain, there being
the boss faction and the Independent
faction; in Tennessee there are two
Democratic factions, divided on local
issue-that of the payment of the State
debt. One faction, the larger, proposes
to pay so per cent of it, the other faction
swearing by the eternal that 100 cents
on dollar must be paid; the Republi-
cans are a unit in favor of paying 60
cents on dollar. In Iowa there is a
grand stampede of Germans and other
liberal-minded voters from the Republi-
can party on account of the illiberal
tendencies of the Republican Organiza-
ton, and apparently there are but small
number of Democrats going over to take
their places. In Indiana, too, the liquor
question is to be the most prominent one
to affect the canvass, and it is yet i'm
possible to say what will be the outcome
of the agitation there. In Ohio the re-
cord made by the Republican Legisla-
ture on this same question has driven
about all the Germans from the Republi-
can party into the revolt, and assured a
Democratic victory, as things look
now In New York there is a
noticeable uneasiness, and feeling of
uncertainty among the leaders of both
the great parties, John Kelly being the
bette nOir to the Democrats, and Arthur
ism, Cornellism, stalwartism and half
breedism the causes of Republican dis
trust and uncertainty. The indications
now are that the elections of this year
are going to develop an astonishing
amount of scratching, and that thou
sands of men who have never voted
other than straight party ticket are this
year going to cut and slash to their
hearts content. Both the leading par
ties will suffer, but we believe the Re
publicans Will fare the worst. In but a
few States are the Democrats divided or
demOralized, while there are but few
States in which the Republicans are not

The Moorish Slave Girls of TODAY.

By the MOhammedan law no man is
permitted TO have more than four wives;
but there is no limit but that of the purse
TO the number of female slaves who may
be added to his establishment. The
Sultan's ladies are numbered by hun
dreds, if they do not indeed reach the
four figures; and in proportion to his
position and wealth the well-to-do Moor
in like manner has large or small harem
establishment. The Sultan has the privi-
lege Of comforting the honor of entering
his harem upon whom he will, and any
girls in the provinces who are more than
ordinarily pretty are sent up to the court
for his inspection, or sent to him as
complimentary present. Men in high
positions, as the ViZier, are also often
presented with ladies, and, being fire.
quently very wealthy, complete their
establishment by private contract, pay
ing, perhaps, GOO for a girl they may
admire.
The ordinary Well-to do Moor of whom
there are large number of the merchant
class, have to content themselves by buy
ing in the open market, and, consequent
ly, the slave market is a highly patron
lied institution. The court in which
this is usually held, on three days in
every week, opens out of labyrinth of
small, narrow streets, which form the
bazaar or general market of the city, a
place in which the higher class of Moor
would not on other occasions deign to be
seen. AS the afternoon wears on, how
ever, they may be seen ambling down on
their gaily caparisoned mules, with a
slave walking behind them, to the en-.
trance of the court, where they dismOunt
and recline in picturesque groups around
the Enclosure. About the same time ar
rive, by twOs and threes, those who are
to be sold, being placed by the statesmen
in some small recesses or stalls opening
on the court
There were about fifty or sixty per-
sons for sale of both sexes and all ages,
/ most of them black as jet, and from
their features evidently natives of the
Soudan, some of whom were to be sold
| only in lots, with two or three children.
These were the drudges for house and
| field work, the price of whom is always
moderate, and strictly commensurate to
the amount of work they are likely to
be able to perform.
| figures who evidently excited no small
amount of interest in the bearded
old MOOrs, who formed no small proper
ton of the purchasers. One of them
was closely yelled Moorish girl, whose
features were revealed only to inquirlng
customers, but who from a passing
glance did not appear to be remarkable
for her beauty; the other was a really
pretty girl from the province of Sus,
whose rOse-colOred caften and green silk
headdress contrasted pleasantly with her
olive complexion and long, black lashes.
They were all neatly and tidily dressed,
bearing no sign of i'll treatment or scant
nourishment, and were treated with all
consideration both by statesmen and pur-
chasers. though the exam nation made
by the latter of the teeth, arms, etc, of
those they bid for was very repulsive to
those unaccustomed to such sights.

The Case Stated.

81. LOUIS hcpWOtCuh.
The Cotton Exchanges OF the Southern
cities have sent messages to Southern
Senators and Representatives, asking
them TO ''defeat the proposed increase of
duty on iron cotton ties, inasmuch as
said increase will largely add to the cost
of preparing the cotton crop for market,
and fall solely on the planting interest of
the South, and the New Orleans Elk
change has dispatched an agent to Wash
ington to represent the planting interest
on the subject.
The matter stands thus. The owners
of several establishments in Pennsylvania
and Ohio, where these hOop-irOn ties are
manufactured, ask Congress to collect
for them an additional tax of - cents a
bale on all the cotton raised in the cOun-
try. The cotton crop is about 5000, 900
bales, and the extra tax would amount
to over 500, 900. The cotton planters
protest that it is unfair and unequal to
tax them this sum of money
without any consideration whatever,
and give it to persons in Pennsylvania
and OHIO who have done nothing and are
doing nothing for them. They assert
that all citizens and classes of citizens
SiN' anu VI iiShI OusnI W NC, equaA D0-
fore the law; that citizens who live in
one State, or are engaged in one legiti-
mate industry, ought not be taxed for
the special advantage of those liv-
ing in another State or engaged
in another legitimate industry. They
claim that raising cotton in Mississippi
is as ancient, honorable and cOmmenda-
bic a business as is the manufacture of
hoop iron in Pennsylvania-and that it
is less profitable. The government
ought to treat all its citizens alike, and it
is not right, either in principle or prac-
tice, to compel man who raises cotton
to pay special tax of twelve cents a
bale over and above the market price of
the hoop iron ties to the man who manu-
features these ties Which side is rlghtf

Cot4oD Manufacturing.

1t has been fairly demonstrated that
cotton manufacturing in the South will
not only pay, but pay handsomely.
The Chattanooga TTadesnaGn, in consid-
ering the question, refers to statement
that cotton and wooden mills in the East,
representing $50, 600, 900, have paid only
z per cent. per annum, and says: Here
is an authoritative statement that the
manufacture of cotton goods in New
England Is not so profitable as in the
South. On this $50. 1000 600 invested in
Northern mills the profits for the past
five years have been less than ST., SOC, 900;
while the same amount of capital In
Southern mills, basing our calculations
upon what other mills now pay, would
have been from $40, 200, 900 to $50, 0O0,-
600, or possibly more. Such difference
as this is bound TO tell The Southern
mills save from 80 to So bale in the
matter of freights alone as compared
with what the Northern mills pay
They have lighter expenses for heat
ing, cheaper raw material, and an
abundance of water power, cheap
labor, cheap living and other advantages

The Knife with which Henry Of Ma
Varre was Slain.
st. James Gazette .

Everybody knows under what circum-
stances Henry IN. was aSsassinated by
Ravaillae. The assassin, passing his arm
through the window of the coach, struck
the monarch two blows with knife. the
latter of which pierced his heart.
While still brandishing the knife he
was arrested by the orders of the Duo
d'EpernOn, the knife being wrenched
from his hand by Pieiro de Malaghino,
an Italian attached to his suite, who after
ward declared he mad dropped the weapon
in the crowd. MalaghinO, who was a
great amateur of curiosities, kept his his
torical relic until his death, when he left
it to his descendants.
1t is difficult to say how it came in the
possession of Maurice de SAKE after
ward; but certain is it that month be.
fore his death the Marshal made it a
present to his physician, Senac Senac
bequeathed it TO his son, NJ. Senac de
Aleilhan, who presented it to the Mar
quise de Crequi, at whose death it be-
came the property of the Baron de
Blanchefort, her cousin, when again it
was lost sight of for nearly sixty years,
when it turned up the other day in the
Bureau of the Commissary of Police in
the Quarter Latin, being then
owned by a student whose father had
been steward to the Raimboval family.
This student had been for some time
in the greatest poverty, and had been
heard to say that life was becoming a
burden to him. The other morning he
found himself absolutely penniless, a
prey to the hallucination that the knife
had brought him ill luck. Determined
to pvt an end TO his existence, he plunged
it into his breast. Fortunately, it was
too rusty, blunt and hacked about to do
much harm, and the unhappy youth
only succeeded in intlicting a wound
from the effects of which he will be
cured in a fortnight. Ever since the
story became known, the Bureau of the
COmmissary has been visited by num-
her of collectors, each of whom has been
until now under the impression that he
was the sole possessor of the actual
knife with which Henry ". was slain.

Orange Insects.
Chambers Journal.

When a dish of oranges is seen
on the table for dessert, the fact is
hardly realized that in all probability
their surface is the habitat of an in.
sect of the coccus family. This tiny
creature is found on the orange skin
in every stage of transformation, from
the egg to the perfect insect, during the
winter months, instead of remaining
dormant in the cold weather, as is the
case with most of the insect tribe. 1t
would hardly be possible to find st.
Michael's or Tangerine orange that had
not hundreds of these little creatures in
various stages of development on its sur
face. Lemons. too, are frequently COW
cred. Upon inspection, the skin of an
orange will be found to be dotted over
with brownish scarlet spots of various
Sizes These specks can be easily re-
moved by needle, and when placed
under a microscope an in eresting
scene is presented, consisting of
large number of eggs, which
are oval white bodies, standing on end,
like little bags of flour, some of the in
habitants of which may very probably
be seen in process of emerging from the
opened end of the egg. The female in
sect upon leaving the egg has six legs.
two long hair-like appendages, and no
wings. 1t thrusts sucker into the or.
ange in order to obtain nourishment, and
never moves again, passing through the
various stages of development until it
lays its eggs and dies. In the case of the
male insect, the chrysalis after short
period opens and the insect flies off. The
male is supplied with wings twice the
length of its body, and each of the legs
has hook like projection. 1t has four
eyes and two attenne, and is so tiny that
it cannot be seen when flying.
From some parts of Spain oranges
come to us having their rind covered
with coccus of quite a different type.
The surface of oranges, indeed, affords
the possessor of a microscope an infinite
amount of interest and amusement.

Cholera and Plague in the East.

The news which reached Constantine
pie at the end of last May about cholera
epidemic in the island of Padang, in the
Straits of Malacca, not far from Singa-
pore, which is in constant cOmmunica-
ton with Padang, has been confirmed,
and the International Sanitary Commits
sions, both in Constantinople and Egypt,
have ordered all vessels coming from the
Dutch Indies and Singapore to undergo
twenty four hours watching, or to pass
through the canal in quarantine, while
vessels on which there has been case
of cholera are to remain seven
days in quarantine. The same precau-
tions have been taken in regard to all
vessels from the ports of the Ottoman
Empire, as the time for the pilgrimages
from India to the Holy Places Islam is
approaching, and there has, as already
reported, been a good deal of cholera at
Calcutta. In view of the dangers arising
from this the Sanitary Council of Con
stantinOple has decided, unless the con.
diticn of things improve very much, to
establish prolonged quarantine for yes
sells coming from the Indian Ocean at
the entrance to the Red Sea, but only
vessels conveying pilgrims will be com
PEELED to undergo it, unless there is a
case of cholera on board any of the
regular passenger ships. The island
of Camaran has been selected as
the place of quarantine, a visit
of the Sanitary Commission some
years ago having established the fact of
its being very well adapted to the pur-
pose. We have already referred to the
outbreak of plague at Ouzoundere, in
Persia, to the south of Lake Ourmiah,
and not far from the Armenian frontier
of Turkey. DR.. Arnaud, the representa-
tive of the Sanitary Commission at TIE
heran, has been to Ouzoundere, and he
reports that the malady is the bubonic
plague. and that out of 524 inhabitants
259 were attacked and 155 died. Death
ensues after an illness varying from
twenty-four hours to week. The
population has done its best to localize
the disease by removing into tents some
four miles away, and holding aloof from
all their neighbors. The disease has not
spread any further, and the village has
been razed to the ground.
