One of our shoe merchants, who is
stopping with a friend while his wife
is visiting in the east, took long
stemmed pipe of the German pursua-
sion from the wall, with the intention
of enjoying a good smoke, the other
evening. He lit the tobacco, took
few whiffs, and with an agonizing ex-
preston of his countenance, he splut-
tered out; "Gott in Himmel, but dot
pipe am strong" Then he made for
the back yard and performed the act
which the small boy generally goes
through after the first lesson in smokr
ing.

OBSERVERS REMARKS.
Farmerville-The corn crop is
made and is a good one. The cot,
ton crop is good and in spite of the
dry weather is holding out.

ble extent. Cotton is however do
ing remarkably we'll. Gardens need
rain very much.
Shrcveport-Cotton and all field
crops doing well, although q little
rain would not be Objectionable.
Vicksburg, Mississippi Generally

vorable to cotton. In some locali.
ties rain would be beneficial.
Point Pleasant-Cotton doing
very we'll. Few worms reported.
Vidalia-Wea athcr hot and dry;
rain needed.
Alexandria-Cotton doing well;
cane needs rain badly as does young
cotton.
MarksviIle-The dry spell and ex-

Clinton-Rcports generally favor,
able; some complaint of not enough
rain in certain localities.
Mandeville-The weather has.
been favorable for sweet potato
planting; corn crop excellent.

ity.

found assembled 20 the greatest ad-
vantage oil the conditions Of easy
access to the sea, through a deep
and eafe channel, easily rendered
defensible from attack. \ deep fresh
water harbor for the protection of
iron ships affords anchorage or
mooring for any number of vessels
By rail and river, troops, material
and supplies of all sorts can be
gathered hither to meet any possible
demand: The great iron and coal
regions Of Alabama and Tennessee
are in easy reach, with tho most am
pie facilities for transportation
There are already important indus,
tries in operation here for building
ships and machinery, and skilled
labor fully acclimated is at all times
available. The situation is admira-
BILE in respect to the advantages it
offors for the use of floating docks,

can be constructed under the most
favorable conditions. Moreover, the
place is naturally defended from
hostile invasion, and can be easily
made so strong that workshops and
stores would be secure from destruc.
ton by q hostile army or feet.
Whenever congress shall deter
mine to provide a navy for the public
defense, it must, from the very force
of natural facilities and advantages,
find in the neighborhood of New
Orleans just what is required in the
premises. The people of this city
arc under obligations to Senator
Gibson for bis able presentation of
their claims for recognition.-Pic.

The famous ''tally-sheet cases" of Indiana
have been settled finally; and Coy and Bern
hamer, who altered the figures in the tally
sheets in one of the wards of Indianapolis
two years ago in order to influence the cleo
ton for coroner and criminal judge in the in
terests of local Democratic ring, 60 to the
penitentiary. The final appeal was from the
United States circuit court to the United
States court. On this appeal the lawyers for
the defence made the plea that the. United
States courts had no jurisdiction because the
votes for Congressman, which were cast at
the same-time. were not interfered with In
his opinion Justice Miller smashed this ar
gument illustrating its absurdity by saying
that If man should shoot at one in a crowd
and killed another he could just as well
claim immunity against the crime of man
slaughter on the .ground that he had not
killed the man upon whom he had designs,
as one could hold that he was not 49,
TO the Federal laws Tor altering the returns
for county or State election, although these
were on the same tally sheet as the returns
of votes upon federal officer. This estab-
fishes this principle, that the federal courts
may interfere to punish fraud in local
election when Congressman happens to
be chosen at the same time with the local
officers. Corrupt rings that might defy the
local courts are thus put within the reach Of
the strong arm of Uncle Sam.

An ex-President in France passes into OBJ
security very quick. Greyy, about whom so
many talked a few months ago, seems COM
pletely forgotten. France has another ex-
President, who is almost as little heard OF,
though in his time he has been an honorable
participation in some of the most stirring
events of the century. In the foreign de-
spatches Marshal MacMahon is quoted in
praise of England's defences, and this is al
most the first mention of the brilliant SOL
der, Duke of Ma genta and ex-President
that has been heard on this side OF the water
for long time. In the furry over the Bou-
hangers and the Ferrys, the veteran of Alge-
ria and the Crimea the hero of Magenta and
Solferino, and the irreproachable soldier Of
Sedan has dropped out of sight. Perhaps
1t would be better for France If her people
remembered better and deferred more to the
soldier who could be at once brave and bril-
liant in the field and conservative and patri-

The extent of the emigration from the
country to the cities seems TO be thoroughly
realized in the State of Vermont, where it
has become 1.-THE subject of much comment

the manufacturing industries of the State,
and Of showing up me advantages of it as a
place for hoTe. One detail of one of the
plans proposed is suggestive. The town
clerks are mentioned as the proper agents
FOR forwarding to the bureau the number
and character of the farms vacant as well as
those whose occupants wish to sell. These
returns from the clerks would be printed in
such forms that they could readily be dis
tributed abroad. 1t is very evident that the
people are moving out of Vermont in con-
siderable numbers. Whether showing just
how rapid this exodus is will tend to attract
immigrants. is point which the proposers
of the Vermont Bureau of Immigration do
not seem to have considered.
