the executive power. would fain
restore it to its dignity, authority and
autonomy. without removing it, how
ever, as does M. Naquet, from the
daily control of Parliament. My
plan. which is original with me, is as
follows:
II should continue to have the Pres
ident elected, as at present, by the two
Houses united in Congress, but at
different period - Immediately after
the election of the Chambers. And
he should hold office for three years,
the fame as the Deputies. 1t is very
probable, therefore, that the two pow
ers, springing from the same political
movement, would easily act in concert.
If such, however, we're not to be the
case, then, according to my srheme, a
new general election should be held,
which would bring in the former, or
a new President and new Chamber,
and peace would reign again.
"As at present, the President of the
Republic would take the members Of
his Cabinet at will from Parliament or
from outside it, and, as is now the
case, his Ministers would be present
at the sittings of the Chambers and
would there defend their own bills
and answer questions and interpella-
tions. But their moral position would
be greatly modified. If the House of
Representatives rejected their bills, or
passed votes of censure on them, it
would rest with themselves and with
the President of the Republic whether
they resigned or not. This question
would have to be leisurely and freely
discussed. The President being the
equal of the Chamber could oppose
that assembly if in his wisdom he
thought fit so to do, and he would not
be disturbed by coalition majorities,
for they could not affront universal
suffrage to whose decision he could
appeal at any moment. He would
disdain the spite of rejected favor
seekers. The situation would only be-
come grave if a serious and perma-
nent majority were to be formed
against his policy. Then, and then
! only, he would have to yield or have
recourse to an appeal to the country.
On the other hand the Chamber would
have no fear Of an usurpation or of
anything like a coup de etat on the
part Of the executive, since by stroke
of the pen he could be deprived OF
Office, though only, it is true, at the
price Of being itself disbanded. 1t
may be taken for granted that, save
in very extraordinary cases, neither
party would declare war on the other.
Before venturing on such step each
would have to be very sure that pub
lie opinion was on its side.'

As the time for the Congressional
Convention draws near, Mr.. Bundy's s
prospects for the nomination do not
lessen. The time has passed for max
ing any tricks or bargains. Jackson
County owes her solid support to Mr..
Bundy. There should be no dissen-
sions permitted, but fair manly sup
port of Mr.. Bundy should be the aim
of Jackson County Republicans. Let
the good Of the party be looked after,
and all evidences of attempting to
barter or sell the Republicans of jack
son County be promptly put down.
Jackson County candidates can afford
to stand upon their merits. Let every
delegate come to the convention re-
solved that the unanimous support of
the convention shall be given to Fl. S.

lAmerican Agriculturist.1
Natures Protection Of Fish by Color.
SETH GREEN.

1t is wonderful to note the methods
employed by Nature for the protection
of all her living forms. There is no
living creature which has not been
provided by Nature with some means
for protection either through strength,
feetness of foot or wing, cunning, or
anatural color similar to the surround
ing objects, thereby rendering them
difficult of detection. The partridge
closely resembles the dead leaves,
twigs, and fallen timber, and the deer
possesses the same characteristics to
such degree that about the only
part readily seen is the white hair on
the under part of the tail. Many of
my readers have doubtless observed
the difficulty usually experienced in
looking into trout stream to see
any of the fish. This is caused by
two reasons-the first is the natural
shyness of the fish, and the second is
that they so nearly resem BILE the color
of the bottom of the stream. But
the color is affected only so far as the
different shades of light and dark are
l have many times
illustrated this changing of color by
irving the trout from a spawning
race having light grayelly bottom
out into pond having dark bottom,
where, by contrast, the difference in
shade could be plainly seen, and where
The trout would in very short time
lssume the color OF the dark colored

formation gathered on his trip to Jackson,
all of which was of value in considering
the arrangements for the proposed re-
union here.
On motion, it was ordered that COM
mittee of five be appointed by the Chair,
to be known as the Finance Committee,
whose duty it shall be to raise the nee
essary funds to defray the expenses of the
reunion. The Committee will be an
nounced on Saturday evening next, to
which time the Executive Committee
adjourned.
The holding of the reunion here on the
days proposed "wednesday and Thursday,
August s and 81 depends entirely upon
the will of our people, and upon their re-
sponse to the Finance Committe the
question will be determined.

Senator Ingalls, explains that his
reference to Hancock and Mcclellan
as "allies Of the Confederacy," meant
their position as Presidential candi-
dates, and not as men and soldiers. In
this view Of the case, the Senator is
not wrong, by any means. The same
convention which nominated McClel-
Ian declared the war a failure and de-
plored the useless sacrifice of life in a
failure to defeat the South. In con-
senting to run upon such a platform,
the paser General certainly gave the
American people opportunity to con-
slider him an ally. Subsequent expe-
riences have shown that even the can
didacy Of the brave Hancock might be
looked upon in the same way. While
Hancock might have taken a loyal
stand, the Northern wing Of the party
he represented would have been the
same tool and ally that it is to-day,
and was during the war.

Random Thoughts.

This is the era Of new enterprises.
Scarcely a town has permitted the
fever to float over the country with
out catching some of the infection.
Each locality is looking after local
interests, and offering inducements to
manufacturers to locate with the BOOM
ing town. Well, this ia commend
able spirit. The spirit Of enterprise
that pushes forward and builds up the
business Of town, is good for the
town. But thexe is another thought
that occurs in this connection. A
little town, alive, is better than a big

Our Democratic exchanges howl
about our Congressional representa-
tive coming home, instead of calling
up the Dependent Pension Bill, as we
stated would be done. The bill was
left in the hands of the committee,
and is being pushed through as rapid
ly as possible. Our Confederate
friends need not worry themselves
into passion. The Republicans will
look after the soldiers interests.

one dead. The volume of business was
not increased by spreading it out
thinner. Now suppose that we have,
say, half dozen exclusively Dry
Goods Stores. These merchants earn
their own money by hard work, and
invest it, risk it if you please, in
building up the business of Jackson.
They receive no aid from the public
only as they give equivalent values,
allowing Of course for reasonable
margin Of profit. Now suppose
man comes along and says to the peo-
pie of Jackson, ''if you will purchase
me building, and give me money to
buy good stock of goods, I will start
new Dry Goods Store" Well, We
raise the money, and instead Of assist
ing those who have struggled along
to make the business Of the town a
success, and thus enlarging their
capabilities, we set up new establish
ment in competition with them, which
establishment has risked nothing and
practically can lose nothing. Is that
enterprise? The same way with a
manufacturing establishment. What
is needful, in looking to new enter
prises, is the securing Of those for
which there seems to be reasonable
demand or opening. If every man in
Jackson would go to making boots
and shoes, the business Of the town
would suffer; the same would be the
case if any other branch of business is
overcrowded. We do not want to go
right along the route of somebody
else, who has just passed, but a little
originality must be worked into busi-
ness enterprises. The man who is
already engaged in business, who has
risked his money and given his time
in building up the interests Of the
community, is the man who should
receive the encouragement of new de-
partures in enterprise. 1t might be
well for our people to think Of these
things. When new enterprises are
started, be sure that they do not con-
hict with interests already established.
Competition is the life Of trade, y
says the old maxim, but it isn't
always the stability of trade.

Help The Unfortunates.

On Tuesday afternoon a number of
ladies and gentlemen appeared before
the Board of County Commissioners
for the purpose Of urging upon them
the providing of place for the sup
port and instruction Of pauper chill
dren, outside the County Infrmary.
Addresses were made by Irvine Dun
gan, J. NJ Trip, Revs Tedford and
Rudisill, and A. W. Long. Strong
petitions were also presented. The
object is to secure, ultimately, the
erection or location of a permanent
home for the County's poor children,
but the temporary relief is all that is
asked for just now. 1t seems to be
clearly the duty Of County Commits
sioners to provide such a house, and
our Board will doubtless give the
matter careful thought. We shall
have more to say upon this subject
hereafter.

EAT THE FISH OR FIGHT.
But the Duel Never Took Place
Because the Landlord
Was a Coward.

Col. ]. H. Woodard, the famous
correspondent!known as Jay Hawker,
has had some queer experiences. He
has accumulated fortune by specu-
lation, has retired from journalism
and resides in San Francisco. He
spent two weeks in this city recently
and one Of his friends recalled an
incident in his career that came near
terminating in blood, duel, for the
Colonel is q dead-line shot with a
pistol:
Some years after the war, soon after
Col. Woodard began to make fame as
a writer, he had occasion to go to
Mobile, Alabama. He stopped at the
best hotel and after nights rest he
gotup and strolled down to the dining
room for breakfast. After looking
over the menu he ordered among
other dishes fried fish. He sat at the
table reading paper until his break
fast was served. For some reason his
appetite weakened on fish and he told
the negro waiter to take it away.
Anything de matter, sah?"
mo. l just don't want it." the
Colonel replied.
"The waiter tells me you ordered
that fish. Why don't you eat it?"
inquired the head waiter.
II do not wish to eat it" coolly re-
piled Woodard.
''What is the matter with it?'
Nothing"
The head waiter retired and in few
minutes the landlord came in, boiling
with suppressed rage. He walked up
to the guest who refused to eat fish
after he had ordered it and said in
low voice between set teeth:
Sir, I am told you refuse to eat fish
after you ordered it. As soon as you
finish eating I desire to see you
Immediately in the Office.
The Colonel quietly finished his
meal. He had heard that the landlord
believed in the duello and the old
Southern idea Of wiping out an insult |
with blood, so he did not 60 to the
Office, but to friend who had an
Office just across the street from the
hotel. This friend was Northern
man, but he had been in the South so
long he was thoroughly imbued with
it's chivalry. Woodard told his story.
His friend jumped up and swore that
be, the Colonel, had been insulted,
and that if the landlord did not make
an abject apology blood would have
TO flow. He constituted himself
Woodard's second and rushed over to
;he hotel to either obtain an apology
rom the landlord or arrange for duel.
The Colonel is 20 coward, but the
dea of fighting duel because he did
lot care to eat fish after he ordered it
,e thought was simply absurd. All at {
,nce his FRIEND entered, and with him {
he landlord. The LANDLORD made an i
.bsolute and abject apology, to the {
urprise and qualification of the /
colonel. 1t seeMs that the landlord {
vas a great buffer, and as soon as he .
aw Woodard's friend, whom he knew s
elighted in d4els and would not
econd any man unless be was braye, q
q was ready to apologize. Thus the |
reat duel was ayerted. |

just at present The "boom" busines,

just at present the boom business
seems to be little dull in this part of
the country. The trouble with nurs-
ing 'boom' is to temper it to the
weather until it shall have become
thoroughly acclimated. If the severe
frosts of winter are safely passed,
there is danger that in bringing it out
too soon it may get sunburnt, and
thus cause the tender plant to wither
and fall. There is absolutely nothing
SO tender, and requiring SO much care,
as a ssboom."
