THE Fargo Daily Argus, published
so far up North that the sun only
shines three hours a day and coal
oil is worth a dollar a pint, has just
heard of the nomination Of A. II.
Stephens, the Georgia giant-in intel
lect. On the 1st inst. the Argus
said
Little old Aleck Stephens, of Geor
gia, the fossil remains OF one of the
straddlebugs of Methuselah's time,
has accepted the Bourbon nomination
for Governor of his State. "De sun
do move" down in Georgia, but it is
backwards.
Stephens is not so very old. He
was born in 1872. He may be forty or
fifty years older than Colonel Pat
DOnan, the managing editor Of the
Argus, but he is not half so large. In
his construction a great deal was
condensed into a small space,
and it keeps we'll. Stephens
is the youngest old man 10
the world except De Lesseps, and like
Donan he is consistent bachelor.
The sands of life do not run down to
any alarming extent. The oldest ex
member Of Congress died yesterday in
Maine, at the age of ninety. eight.
Young men like Colonel Donan may
live to record the death of Stephens
from old age, but little Aleck has the
drop on many a one of that class. The
man who is waiting for his shoes will
have time to harden his hoofs on many
grayelly slope Of life's dusty pathway.
The sun do move in Georgia, but it
does not count often in the years that
Alexander Stephens holds Office.

arms had only two minutes before been
lamentlng. Every tongue asked him
where he had been and what he bad
been doing. Every ear awaited his
response. Willie, however, was in no
hurry to satisfy curiosity, and after
the pudding had been dished up and
placed where puddings are meant to
go, ne condescended to open his mouth
and explain. Meanwhile a crowd of
neighbors had collected. moved by
what they seemed inclined to regard
as a miraculous resnsoitation.

CONSIDERING the divisions and
apathy in the Democratic party aud
the general disposition to scratch the
regular ticket, it made a good run
The ticket is elected with possibly one
exception. Scratching is such luxury
that when people begin there is nc
telling when they will stop. A good
set of men has been elected and the
public will accept the result as cheer

business BOOMING I'm the South.

IBoston Commercial Bulletin, September 23dI
II Is n grand idea, that OF many OF the
newspapers in the South and West in print
ing on or about September Isl OF each year
n mammoth edition, embodying review OF
the years work in their respective sections.
The wear Just passed shows the unmistaka-
BILE and gratifying increase which was
vaguely supposed to be going on, especially
in the southern States.
Material prosperity is grandly booming;
railroads are building, and old ones are in
creasing their earnings; coal and IRON
mines arc being opened and worked;
water-power is being utilized; cotton-fac-
tories are literally springing out OF the
ground; machine-shops, foundries, woollen
mills are being erected; and best, perhaps,
of all throughout the South the farmers
are diversifying their crops, and many OF
them who formerly bought corn and wheat
are not only growing their own supply,
but are selling. The folly of keeping dogs
TO the destruction of the sheep industry Is
being rccognlzed; the Chinese plan OF
fencing in crops and letting stock run loose
Is being abandoned; and these are only OF
few Of the good things that are recon-
structing the South.
Texas probably shows the largest in
crease in material wealth and production.
not alone because it is the largest State, but
because its population is OF such charac-
ter that development is easiest there.
Within the year almost 1900 miles OF rail-
way have been built. making the total now
in the State 5,90S miles. Texas is now in
dependent of the West for her food sup
plies, and is pushing for the first rank
among the cotton-producing States.
South Carolina is sharing in the increase;
the reports from Charleston show an in
crease in the wholesale business alone OF
more than S4,000.000, the total for the past
year being nearly S75.000,000.
Tennessee has trebled her cereal traffic,
which has more than made up for the fall
ing off in cotton. Knoxville has a trade OF
Si,500,000 in dry goods, $4,000 in gro
ccrieS, 81, 800. 600 in boots and shoes, 49,
00O, 900 in hardware and machinery.
Georgia is sure to be the New York OF
the South, with her combination OF farms
and factories; the diaries OF Georgia are
destined to rival those OF the Empire State.
From Richmond to Galveston; from
Louisville to New Orleans, there is scarce
" an unfavorable report as to improve
ments in methods, or as TO results. Not
many such annual reports from the South
as these of the present year will be needed
TO start the tide of immigration in that di-
rection, and when that tide does begin to
roll, there will be a development Of the
vast agricultural, manufacturing, and min
eral resources OF the South that has been
little dreamed of.

A Strange story.
Now York Times.

On June 9th last Joseph Redmond. 4 lad
about twelve years old, who gave his resi-
dence us No. 100 Blocker street, was ar
rested by Patroman Clue, of the Fifteenth
precinct, on complaint of petit larceny
made by Mr.. William Goulding, OF No. G2G
Broadway. The lad was arraigncd at the
Jefferson Market Police Court before JUS
tice Ford. and was committed for trial ut
the Court OF Special Sessions. He made no
effort to communicate with his friends. and
the address which he gave while at court
subsequently proved TO be false. When the
case was called for trial at the Court OF Spe-
cial Sessions no one appeared in favor OF the
boy. and he was convicted and committed
to the House of Refuge. Meanwhile the pa
rents OF the lad, alarmed at his disappear
ance, were searching for him all over
the city. but without success. Nearly q
month after their sons disappearance the
body OF boy of about the same age was
found floating in the North river, and was
removed to the Norgue for Identification
There it was seen by the parents Of the
missing lad, and although the remains were
much decomposed, they identified them as
those OF their boy, took them to their home,
and buried them. Last week the greying
parents were astOnishcd and OveriOycd at
receiving a letter from their son, whom
they mourned as dead. 1t was dated from
the House Of Refuge, and from it they
learned for the first time OF the arrest and
incarceration Of their boy. A visit was
paid to him, and the meeting between the
| son and his parents is said to have been
most affecting. Yesterday the mother Of
the lad called on Justice Ford and asked
him to discharge her son from the House
OF Refuge. The magistrate would have
been glad to do so, but was powerless TO
act, as the lad had been committed by the
magistrates sitting at the Special Sessions,
and their signatures are necessary to re-
