NEW BARGAIN Ar ALBANY

Tammany made bargain with the
Republicans in 1871, in consequence of
which this city was robbed of millions
of dollars. None of the Republicans
concerned in that deal glOried in their
shame. All sought excuses, and all
were finally driven to private life.
This year Tammany has driven a new
bargain. The negOtiatOr is prominent
Republican and leading member of
the late Canal Ring. Senator Mccarthy,
of Syracuse, driven to cover, cOnfesses
that the negOtiatOT was governed by
personal considerations in making this
bargain. He had been prosecuted by
Mr.. Tilden, said Mccarthy, and he had
brought about a coalition of the Tam
many and Republican Senators to punish
that gentleman.
Just how Mr.. Tilden prosecuted the
negOtiatOr is shown elsewhere by eX-
tracts from the leading Republican
newspapers. These extracts stigmatize
the members of the Canal Ring as thieves
and robbers. They declare that Mr.. Til
den saved the State millions of dollars
by his persecution" of these thieves,
and seven years ago they predicted that
by such persecution he would excite a
furious personal hatred which would
seek revenge"
Senator Mccarthy, unlike his Repub-
liean predecessors of 1871, glOTies in his
shame. While. speaking for himself,
however, he assumes to speak for his Re-
publican colleagues. You and l." said
he, referring to the negOtiatOr, ''wOuld
have done the same thing" This speech
was made six weeks ago, and not Re-
publican Senator has denied the assump-
tiOn. Are we to infer that such Sena-
tors as RUSSELL Macarthur, Brown (nOt
| GeOrge,) Lynde, Lansing, Holmes,
Thomas, Evans, Baldwin, Lord (not
Jaryis,) Pitts, Ellsworth and Allen are
also the willing instruments of the re-
venge of the canal thieves?

THE st. Louis Globe-Democrat says, in
answer to a correspondent, it will be
the duty of the Grand Jury of Buchanan
county to investigate the circumstances
of the killing of Jesse James. 1t will
probably be their duty to indiet the
Ford boys, because the Governors pro-
clamatiOn, being a plea of defense, can
not be introduced before that body;
although under many decisions it can
be introduced to prevent conviction be-
fore a petit jury. At any rate, the
Governor can and will pardon them If
convicted. Under the constitution of
this State prior to the war the Governor
could issue pardon Immediately after
the commission of an Offense. Under
the two subsequent constitutions, how
ever, conviction must precede pardon.
The Ford boys should be released with
a band of music on the charge of killing
James, and then marched back to jail
without any music to be tried and hung
for other murders quite as cold blOOded
as any that James ever committed.

A body of Peruvian troops won signal
victory. 1t was not over Chilian troops,
however. The Peruvians.were running
away from those; but coming upon a
smaller body of their own cOuntrymen
at AyacuchO, they displayed their Prov
ess by falling upon the latter, killing
some 200 of them, and entering the town
in triumph. Three COlOnels of the de-
feated body were then shot by order of
Caceres, the victorious commander, who
now claims to be the only Government
of Peru.

4 Great Georgia Industry.

Great interest is now manifested in the
production of turpentine and naval
stores in this section of the State, and
upon an investigation it will be seen that
no one industry in this section promises
so much. 1t is destined to make the
pine regions prosperous and to add rich
treasures to this grand old common
wealth. In conversation with q we'll
gathered few facts that may prove OF
interest to our readers and we give them
for what they are worth: Take lot of
land well timbered and there can be cut
on it 10000 turpentine boxes at q cost Of
a cent and half box, making $3.50.
These boxes will yield the crude turpen-
tine for years when properly managed,
that is for eight months during each
year. The average yield per month Is
twenty-five barrels of the crude turpen-
tine which sells readily for five dollars
per barrel. 1t will cost about $3.50 per
barrel to hack the trees so that the boxes
will catch the best turpentine, and to dip
the best boxes will cost about twenty-five
cents . barrel. In favorably locafed
farms, the distillers will furnish the bar
rels and haul them to and from the dis
tillery without any cost to the man own
ing the farms. So we have fol-
lowing results showing the net
profit. =, viz: 10000 boxes yielding
twenty-five barrels per month would
make two hundred barrels per year Of
eight months, so that we should have one
barrel each year to, every fifty boxes.
These fifty boxes cost seventy-6ve cents
to cut, so we have as the cost per barrel
of production: Hacking per barrel, one
dollar; dipping, twenty-five cents; cutting
boxes. ;seventy-five cents. q Total cost,
two dollars. Prices per barrel, showing
a net of three dollars per barrel. Two
hundred barrels we find a profit above
expense of $500. This is the first years
profit on . wild lot of pine land that
could be bought for one or two hundred
dollars. But this farm will yield in tho
same proportion for three or four years,
after which the trees can again be boxed,
with slightly decreasing yield. When
the trees have been thoroughly drained
of the turpentine, they are ready for the
sawyer, and when his work is done We
have the land left for the farmer. This
new source of wealth is destined to at.
tract capital and labor, and soon We
shall see our pine forests rivaling our
white field of cotton. and in giving b.
labor remunerative employment. Geor.
gia is indeed an empire, with her unriv-
allied pine forests in the south, her rice
fields in the east, her mountains of met
ais and minerals in the north, and her
fertile cotton plantations in middle and
southwest Georgia, with her thriving and
beautiful cities and towns. We have
reason to be proud of our State, and to
feel that she is justly termed the empire

Astronomical PanicS.

Wherever science has not been cult
waited, all new and startling appearances
in the sky are regarded as supernatural
But a few years since shower of meteoric
stones fell in India. the fall being at
tended by terrific explosions. The
alarmed inhabitants of the district be-
lieved these masses of rock to have been
thrown by their deities from the Hima-
laya Mountains, and with great venera-
ton gathered up the fragments to be
kept as objects of religious worship.
Nor need we smile. at this example Of
recent superstition. In the most civilized
countries of the ancient world such phe-
nOmena as the aurora bOrealis, total
eclipses, comets and meteoric showers
were viewed as miraculous displays Of
divine power, and generally as forerun-
ners of impending disasters. A brief
account of some of the panics thus pro-
duced may not be without interest.
No one who has seen the more bril-
liant displays of the northern lights-the
splendid coronal arch, the columns
tinged with various colors. and moving
in silent granduer upon the midnight
sky-can wonder that in . superstiti0us
age their appearance should have ex-
cited the utmost CONSERVATION. Before
the eighteenth century no physical ex-
PLANTATION of such displays had been sug-
gested or even thought Of. The phe-
nOmena appeared suddenly and unex-
pectedly, and could not be referred to
natural causes then known. The ex-
cited Imagination saw armies mastering
in the sky brandishing their spears and
raising aloft in quick succession their
bloody lances. A very brilliant aurora
seen in England, in 1875, is described
by a writer of that period as q chasm
formed in the northern sky, in which
''were seen great many bright arches,
out OF which gradually issued spears,
cities with towers, and men in battle ar
ray; after that there were excursions of
rays in every direction, waves of clouds,
and battles in which some were fleeing,
some pursuing, and others wheeling
around in . surprising manner II
panics of this nature have ceased, the
fact is due to the ever-advancing light
OF physical science.-Pyof Daniel KIRK

that, moreover, as Pauline showed no evil

and perfect gaiety. Of speech and manner. he
ought not to consider himself an obstacle to

there nothing to account for the incipient

interest in her welfare was comparatively re-

'.Do you know of any peculiar uses to
which out-of-door photographing may be

swell, suppose a picture is obtained
of church or other public building, and
it is burned down. By consulting the
photograph second building precisely
like the first can be built. Photographers
are also called to photograph rims
where lives have been lost. I know a
widow, whose husband was a conductor
on railroad and was killed by his train
falling through bridge. The photo
graph showed that the break in the
bridge was caused by inherent weakness,
and the jury gave the widow heavy
damages A peculiar lens, called a rec
ilinear lens, is used for good out-of-d door
work. If a building is pictured by a
common lens used for portrait purposes
the building looks as though it was fall
ing down, the lines are 50 pulled out of
the perpendicular. There are lenses for
taking pictures at small distance, saw
ten feet from the object. They have
even more of an angle than the human
eye. Prices for this work are governed
BY the quantity Of work done.
