Babies Everywhere.

Here and there, here and there,
Babies, babies everywhere
Copper-colored, white aud brown,
In the woods and in the town,
Far towards the Northern pole.
Little babes romp and roll
Little baby Esquimuax-
In world ice and snow.
In sunny island home,
Where the ships go aud come,
Babies froic in the breeze,
Underneath the orange trees.
Where the starry heavens span
Waving palms OF Hindostan--
In the land of gems and silk
Babies sip the cocoa milk;
Play with ivory rings and balls
By the fearful mountain walls;
Ride the baby merriment
On TALL tame elephant.
Little Chinese babies, too,
Wang Che Chang and Chin Gang Leo,
Look in babyish surprise,
From their narrow almond eyes;
Learn as little babies can
To hold their chop-sticks, wave their fan,
To eat their plate OF snowy rice,
And now and then a roast Of mice
English babies sweet and lair;
Geemans with soft, fiaxen hair;
Dark Italians with mamma
Floating in a gondola.
Babies-diamond, pearl and opal,
From Norway down TO Consiantinople;
Precious jewels every one,
The dearest things beneath the sun.
But which of all that have told
Is sweetest, dearest, just pure gold
Made of many mingled charms
Why, of course; the baby in my arms.

No. v;ctsbure Convention.

IL
IT, o,n,al convention of the National
COTTON Planters Association will meet at
Vicksburg. Mississippi, on the 2lst OF this
month. Efforts are being made to secure
the attendance of representatives from
all the Southern States. This ASSOCIATION
has grown rapidly in Importance, IN
fluence and usefulness. 1t Is doing
good work in the cause of southern pro
gress and in developing Southern re-
sources. 1t is not only calling attention
TO the undevelOped wealth OF the SOuth,
but Is inspiring Southern agricuIturlsts
with new hopes. new desires, and Win
determination to make the soil respond
more bounteously to the efforts OF the
farmer. The Vicksburg convention VIII
be, perhaps, the most interesting meeting
in the history Of the association. Men
prominent before the country IN one held
of usefulness or another will be present
and read papers or deliver addresses
on subjects relating to the Industries oil
the South. There will also be general
discussions Of matters pertaining 10
Southern agriculture. Planters who have
experimental with different kinds of cot
ton and various kinds of fertilizers will
gite the results of their experiments. The
benefit of diversified crops, the promise Of
new industries resulting from new inven-
tions-the cultivation Of jute, for instance,
if any one Of the lately invented jute ma
chimes proves a success-will be cOnsid-
cred. The Worlds Cotton Exposition, to
be opened at New Orleans next winter,
will engage the attention of the conVen-
ton. The idea Of this exposition was
suggested by the Cotton Planters Asso-
citation, and the Association will undoubt-
edIy do a great deal to promote its sue
C ess. The influence which the exposition
is to have on the South is beginning
to be appreciated. The re-
sources Of the South. its cap abilities
and possibilities, are just beginning to be
understood in the North and in Europe.
Southern journals in the last few years
have given a good share Of their attention
to making known to the world the riches
which are in the forests and buried IN the
soils OF their States, ana their work Is
bearing good fruit. The New Orleans
Exposition Will push forward the work
which they have begun. The products Of
the mines, fields, forests and factories
will be displayed there, and will bring
home TO the thousands of the eXposition's
visitors, more effectively than can be done
in any other way, what this favored
section Of the country offers to the immi-
grant and capitalist. 1t is to be hoped
that Georgia and Florida will be well
represented at the Nicksburg Convention.
The Louisville Exposition is now in the
last week of its existence. 1t has been
great success.

If the Washington Sunday Capital has
an editOr-and that seems to be "a doubt
full point-he is far too modest for this
world. He has invented a remarkable
scheme for turning the country upside
down politically. Broadly stated, his
plan is to make Northern Republican
States solidly Democratic by disgusting
them through an open and intimate alli-
ance between the national administration
and the Malone Readjusters, and then to
make the South Republican by the judi
ciOus use of money in the most promising
States. And this unselfish man says that
the plan is not his but the Presidents!

Yesterdnr,s EIections.

The returns from the various States
which held elections yesterday are in
complete and fragmentary. The Repub-
Iicans made considerable gains in several
of the States over their vote OF last year. In
Massachusetts. Robinson, for Governor,
WAS elected over Butler. This puts an end
10 Buffers Presidential aspirations. 1t is
lust as well, perhaps, that be is eliminated
from the politics Of the country. In Con-
necticut the Republicans appear to have
been successful. In New York there
seems to be no doubt that the Republicans
have elected Carr, the head Of the ticket.
The balance of the ticket is in
doubt, although the Republicans claim
10 have elected their entire
ticket. Cars success Is probably due to
the fact that Maynard. his opponent, is a
,,r,ninent PrOhibitiOnist. In Pennsyl-
yania the Republicans have made gains,
and have probably elected their
entire ticket. In Virginia the
election passed off quietly,
and the returns indicate that the Demo
Gratis have won the fight. 1t is TO be
hoped that Malone shared the fate of
Butler. New Jersey went Democratic by
a small majority. There is little, if any,
doubt that ALBEIT, Democrat, was elected
Governor. MARYLAND and Mississippi, Of
course. went Democratic, and Minnesota
and Nebraska Republican.

Empty Casks and Packages.
Several persons in this city, within the
last few days, have got themselves into
trouble by handling empty beer kegs on
which We're uncanceled revenue stamps.
They shipped these kegs to Northern
breWeries. 1t is said that the practice is
quite general here to ship empty whisky
barrels, on which the stamps have not
beeh destroyed, to the turpentine distil-
Ieries. The law against such practice,
and against any transportation of empty
barrels and kegs on which there are un-
Cancelled stamps, is so old that it is
astonishing that there is anybody of in
telligence who is unfamiliar with it. The
law requires the stamp TO be destroyed on
a cask or package at the time the spirits
are drawn OFF, and all casks and packages
on which the stamps are not Obliterated
are liable to seizure. Every railroad
company or person who transports or
receives for transportation an empty cask
or package. which is marked
with uucanceled stamps, is liable
to penalty Of $500, for
each package or cask transported or
IEEEANCu AVA AAeAtAo lipA LettAD4i- anu OFCl
BOAT. railroad car, dTay, wagon or other
vehicle. and all horses or other animals
used in transporting such casks or pack
ages. are liable to forfeiture to the United
States. Every person who fails to
destroy the stamps at the time of
emptving cask or package, or
knowingly transports such cask or
package on which there are uncanceled
stamps, or assists in such transportation,
is guilty of a felony, and is liable to a fine
of not less than $500 nor more than $4,000,
and to Imprisonment from one to five
years. The law is very severe, and per-
sons who have anything TO do with empty
beer and whisky casks who do not know
the law will do well to make themselves
acquainted with it.
