| the. other hand, very large proportion OF
Southern shooting ARRAYS seem to be without
any warning, although each man is at liberty,
perhaps, to reason from the circumstances OF
the case that @the other man will shoot" KILL
ing in this manner is, of course, cowardly muir
der, and it is absurd to point with pride, as
Judge Jackson does, to the existence OF laws
against duelling, when downright ASSASSINATION
so often goes unpublished.
Judge Jackson admits that life has not been
so sacred at the South as at the North, but
pleads that when all the circumstances are
taken into account it is to the credit OF the
South that the disparity is not greater than it
is. The North il largely Puritan, through the
spread of New-England men and ideas all over
the country north of the Ohio, while the South
has more Cavalier blood in it's veins, and so gets
the fighting temperament that turns readily 10
duelling. The war left the South IN state OF
bedlam. Every man went armed, and much
shooting was the result He deplores the
shooting habit as sincerely as any one can do
and asserts that in Georgia the exertIons OF
the judiciary and the effect of the local-opton
law in diminishing intemperance are accomplish
ing much. No doubt some allowance must be
made for the ardor of the Southern tempera-
ment, but the Generalization Of the war
merely increased an evil that existed already.
The Southern pistol got loose easily before the
war as well as after. The effect of slavery
seems to he overlooked by Judge Jackson, and
here, we venture to say. was one powerful
cause of the Southern recklessness of hannah
life. When black mans life was cheap,
white mans life could not be sacred. The
South is making some progress in dealing with
homicide, however, and every step forward
will be gladly recognized by the people of the

THE TELEGRAPH OPERATORS FRIENDS.

The deceived and beaten telegraph operators
have now an opportunity to estimate the value
of some of the friendship" with which they
were lately overloaded Stock jobbers who
wanted to bear Western Union, newspapers
that wanted to crafty private grudges at any
cost, and adventurers who are always ready to
get up labor organizations and engineer strikes
that afford them an easy way Of getting liv-
ing, have all been feeding them with delusive
hopes The facts were distorted, false news
was freely circulated, the condition and pros
poets of the struggle were persistently misrep-
resented, in order to encourage them to keep
up q hopeless fight to the last possible moment.
They arc new in better position to see who
have been their hest friends, those who encour-
aged them with false hopes OF success, or papers
like THE TRIBUNE that have shown them
from the beginning how great the chances of
failure were. Master Workman Campbell esti-
mates the operators loss in wages at 100000
This is only part of the loss. Many OF them
have forfeited their situations, and it may be
weeks, perhaps many months, before they will
obtain new ones. Some of them may be
obliged to undergo real privation. because they,
being blind, preferred to be led by blind lead
ers. The true friend is the friend that tells
YOU the truth.

there are many distinctions and numerous

more than likely to follow, Apparently the
republic does not intend to make any effort to
avert O collision, as it has withdrawn its Min
lister from Picking. Whatever may be the out
come of the struggle, it will hardly be e
profitable one for France. But since it made
what it has regarded as a mistake, in refusing
to cooperate with the English in Egypt, it
has been pushing forward schemes Of conquest
elsewhere in a reckless manner. The difficulty
with England as to Madagascar has not yet
been settled; though it is improbable that
France will refuse to do what may be necessary
to satisfy the English. The French Govern
snent is well aware that it cannot afford to
take any such responsibility at this time.

The West proved superior to the East in the

East promptly secured itself against further
reverses by taking possession of the winner.
Drake Carter showed himself to be a far bet

Pizarro was so thoroughly convinced of this
that he bought the Western horse imme-
diately after the race, paying big
price for him. 1t is understood that
he is to go to England, where the American
stables are certainly in sad need of reinforce

owners will always be ready to pay roundly

The Snail.

Who has not watched in summer DAYS
the glistening throng of snails upon the
banks of streams? From the bridge al
low tide the muddy fat scintilates and
CLEANS as if. flecked with diamonds as
the shells move in close pursuit behind
the outgoing tide, the march reversing
as it rises; continual coursing back and
forth being carried on throughout the
summer. But the first cold wind causes 9
perceptible diminution of their numbers,
and frost finds the vast population of the
shore far below the surface in winter
sleep. They do not assimilate food-in
other words, eat, digest or grow-until
the terminating temperature of fifteen
degrees c.. or thereabout. comes again.
The mollusks are perhaps the most re-
markable Tor the long continuance OF
this condition. The land snails during
winter close their shells with calcare-
Gus plate or epiphragm, leaving a small
orifice for breathing, and buried in the
earth, remain in a quiescent state for
periods of long duration. 1t is in this
condition, or Immediately after the
formation of the white epiphragm, that
the edible snails about Paris are most
esteemed In the British Museum are
certain shells that were brought from
Egypt and thoughtlessly gummed to a
stand, and four years later were found
alive by the curator. They were not at
all affected by their long sleep, and lived
forseveral years after. Their pulsation,

Many of the fresh-water mussels retreat

the winter, and the same may be true of
saltwater forms.-N. Y. Post.

A Cleveland co. gentleman, who Il

few days ago an instance of hypochon.
dria which came under his notice when
ne was considerably younger than at the
present time. His narrative was some-
thing like this: when I was a bow
there lived near our house, in q part of
Cleveland that was then almost in the
woods, maiden lady who was in very
poor health. In girlhood she was not
strong, and as years advanced she
imagined herself growing more and more
delicate, till at last she took to her bed,
where she afterward remained in daily
expectation Of death. Her nerves were
very delicate, and in my school DAYS the
schooimaster used to warn us urchins to
keep quiet when going by her house, as
we might disturb her If any noise was
made. My youth and boyhood passed,
and with the coming of manhood dis
covered that . young sister Of the in.
valid was very pretty girl, and when,
after coming home from church or sing.
ing-school with her, an invitation to come
in was given, it was always accepted. The
short and awkward visits made at first
soon gave place to the old-fashioned sit
ting up. One evening several of the young
people came in, and the talk and laugh
ter grew hilarious. 1t was checked in.

the room directly overhead, where the
sick woman lay. One warning was
enough, but the frequentcy of the same

respect for it. 1t seems that she kept Q
big cane at the side of her bed, and by
rapping with it she indicated her wants

after being cautioned several times in the
usual manner without effect, the parlor
door opened suddenly upon the assem-
bled party, and the bed-ridden woman
stood before our eyes holding the awful
cane in hand. 1t was the first time she
had moved in twenty years. Her en-
trance was so sudden that she was able
to give two or three singing blows tc
those sitting near her before an escape
could be made. In a moment q shout
of laughter went up, and the supposed
invalid was not slow in finding that she
was the cause. Her mother and sister
fixed her up with suitable clothes, and
she spent the remainder of the evening
downstairs, and the day following she
went about the family Homework. j

The Advantages Of Dyspepsia:

Carlyle, like johnson and Swift, had
apowerful but disordered body, which
from youth to old age never seems ia
have given him q day of serene Joyous
health. Dyspepsia, his malady was
called, but it must have been of pecu.
liar kind, involving the whole nervous
system. The slightest noise hindered
him from sleep, which he sometimes
could not obtain for three weeks to-
gether. He describes his sufferings, as
might be expected, with graphic force
sensation as If rat gnawing at the
pit of his stomach" his nerves all in

most hag-ridden condition. After

days-of having suffered the pangs OF

were greater than he was able to bear.
Neither carefulness as regards diet nor
constant exercise seems to have done
much more than mitigate hisssuferings.
Yet he was powerfully built and really
very strong, capable of enduring much
bodily fatigue and such protracted man.
tai labor as few could surpass. He never
seems to have been acutely and danger
ously ill, but was always ailing and
suffering, condition for which people
with stout and rather blunt nervous
organizations have often imperfect SYM
pathy and comprehension. 1t is by no
means the most dangerous illnesses
which are always the most painful.
Carlyle's maladies, no doubt, seriously
affected his temper, which may well have
been somewhat tart and hasty to begin
with, and his irritability has become pro
verbal; a serious defect which, with one
or two others, we shall have to consider
presently. But q still worse result of his
nl-health was the settled gloom and de-
spondency in which he habitually lived

disturbancer Probably with radiant
health he would have been a melancholy
man; his mind was naturally sombre and
disposed to Seek the darker side of things.

OF his which has been preserved, we find
him speaking OF this ''dirty planet in 9
