Gov. Alexander II. Stephens, Of
Georgia, presented twenty convicts.
with pardons as Christmas presents.
The statement is made that since his
accession to Office, he has turned twen-
ty-two convicted murderers loose upon
society, and committed the sentence Of
two others from death to imprisonment.
[Claiborne Guardian.
Governor Stephens ought to be ar
rested and compelled to furnish bond
and security against wholesale pardon
oning of convicts for it cannot be that
the courts of Georgia make a business
of convicting innocent persons. Gov.
Stephens may have been an excellent
Congressman; and it would have been
better for him to have continued one, il
the main feature of his gubernatorial
career is tv9be the pardon Of criminals.
Hon. E.. r. Lewis, our standard
bearer in the Congressional contest,
convinced us when he was here that he
was good politician, as he not only
did not neglect to pay his respects to
the Review but also enrolled his name
as SuUScflUtI accompanying Lu0 az
ton with the cash. This seems a
small thing to mention and yet it is by
these little acts Of courtesy and atten-
fion that men become popular and make
their way in political life. It often
happens that men aspire to Office, then
think it strange that their parish papers
do not rush to the front to speak their
nraise and start their boom. That
man is poor politician who forgets his
own parish papers. He will find it an
uphill business to succeed without
their support. We must remember
Others il we expect them to remember
us.-[[ Marksville Review.

An Italian statistician has made a dis
covery that every human being at pres
ent living upon the face of the globe
has the nndoubted right to claim des-
cent from no fewer than 139 ,245, 600, co.,
900 OF ancestors, only as far back as the
commencement of the Christian era.
Now that is pedigree worth having !;
it beats any dogs, or horses pedigree
that we have ever seen. The only
thing lacking is, that the names that
figure in it cannot be given, while the
illustrious ancestors of the brute's ped
igree are on record but there are bound
to be many murderers, thieves, etc, in
a human pedigree Of such length,
and it is better for those who now live,
to not know too mnch about their an
cestors.

About Guaymas,

A writer in the Pacific Rural Press,
who knows the locality personally, thus
writes: There are few dirtier cities than
Guaymas, and it would be no cause for
wonder if malarial fever did rage there.
There is no system of sewerage;. the la
mes attached to the private houses of
even the wealthy are in themselves suf-
ficient to breed fevers. The streets are
unpaved, huge rocks are scattered over
them, no sweeping is ever done. Dead
cats, dogs and pigs, along with garbage,
ornament the sides of the streets, and
often lie for days in front of the IRON
grated easements Of dining-rooms be.
tore they are removed. The site of
Guaymas is cup-like, the base being oc-
cupied by the town, and the walls
of the cup are the huge red basaltic
mountains that surround it, Tie bay is
one of the most beautiful on the coast,
ships of large tonnage lying close in to
the shore. The railroad offices and
workshops, which have in their employ
a great number of Americans, are stu
ated close to the city, whilst the foreign
merchants have their dwelling and bust
ness houses located in its heart. Of
hospitals there are two-the railroad
and municipal. The former is in charge
of DIR. Spence, u Scottish gentleman who
has for many years been resident of
Guaymas About three miles from Quay
mas is the Rancho, much sought after as a
health resort, and it is probably to these
gardens that the inhabitants are sup
posed to be fleeing. Hermosillo, some
ninety miles north of Guaymas and on
the LINN of the railroad, is also supposed
to he attacked by the tonic fever. 1t is
the capital of the State of Sonora, and
is bright, clean little city. There is a
plentiful supply of fresh water, which
boon is denied Guaymas; all water for
drinking and household purposes hav-
ing TO be brought from the wells three
miles distant.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1883-09-27
A Novel Fence.

Among the curious and valuable ex-
hibits at the recent railway exposition at
Chicago. was an electric fence. 1t is
made of ordinary steel wire, with no
barbs or sharp points to tear the flesh of
man or beast, and no more intricate or
expensive than an ordinary wire fence.
Its simplicity and oheapness is its high.
est recommendation to the public. The
fence is.put up alongside of highways
and around the pastures, fields or gard
ems, and the wire is run up into the
house, where it connects with small
battery located in little cupboard that
can be kept locked. The battery is put
in order, the connection made, and the
thing is ready. When n COW or horse
runs against it percussive shock darts
thl ough them, such as man feels
when he takes hold of the brass
handles Of the showman's electric
oil apparatus. On trial it is found
that an animal will dart back from the
