The language of the letter referring to
President Jackson is, "If the blood
thirsty old man at the head Of the govern
ment attempts to keep South Carolina in
by force he will destroy the Union" Dur
ing the life of the poet this letter was
kept from public notice by State Ii bra
rian Hoadleg, in order that there might
Whittier During the War of the Rebel
lion Mr.. Whittier's views were changed
radically. The letter has now been fur

view may be had of the poets political
progress aud convictions.
Some time since the State Board of
Horticulture Of California imported
some Australian lady bugs (Rhizolrius
ventralis) with the design of pitting
them against the black scale bug, which
has been creating great havoc in the Or
chards in the southern part of the State
for some years. The board announced
last week that the lady bug has proved
a perfect success in it's work of extermi-
mating the black scale bug, and colonies
will be sent out to orchardists, who VIII
turn them loose on the common enemy.
The board is also cultivating a colony
of the red scale parasite( Circus chaby hes,
for the same purpose and expects good
results
A bill providing for the insuring of
senders of registered letters and pack
ages against loss will be introduced in
Congress at an early day if the recon-
mendation made in several quarters is
needed. The Baltimore American tells
congressman that they have chance to
earn "endurin fame" by promoting
such legislation, and the Philadelphia
Ledger lends it's assistance to the agita-
ton. The British postal department now
insures letters and packages, and the
system works satisfactorily. Two pence
in addition to the ordinary postage fee
insures registered package to the ex-
insured is so pounds, for which the fee
is eleven pence. The English regulation
also compels the insurance of watches
and jewelry sent in the mails. Our
postal authorities carry registered mat
ter at the undivided risk Of the sender,
although they are supposed to exercise,
and do exercise, more than ordinary care
in transmission. If a letter or package
is lost they make every endeavor to
trace it, but here their responsibility
ceases.
Thousands of linnets were noticed in
spokane, washington, aiooh Z" oS'sio
storm the other day. Linnets are not
indigenous to that portion of the State,
and much speculation was caused by
their presence.
In California during the second week
of this month nearly 5000, 600 pounds of
fruit were shipped by railroad from
Santa Clara county alone. OF this
,,,,o,,pt NEARLY th,.oa apd q half million
pounds, including S0s,040 pounds of
Bartlett pears, came East.
Some smart storekeepers of Tacoma,
Wash, hit on the happy idea of advertis-
ing their:business by sticking little wafer
pastors on coins, like labels on pill boxes,
They secured sure and wide circulation
for their advertisements, and the scheme
worked we'll until a few days ago, when
the Treasury Department notified the
local authorities that the practice was
illegal, and it was stopped.

Probably 1T is the fear of breaking up
the Democratic party more than any
thing else, that is holding back the re-
peal bill in the Senate. The silver men
could be easily defeated if the bill could
be brought to vote, for there is unques-
tionably large majority in favor of re-
peal. But the vote would disclose a
sharp division in Democratic party, and
it issthe danger of this exhibition that
voorhees, and German want to avoid.
The Democrats at the South especially
have preached cheap money doctrines
until their constituents are thoroughly
saturated with them. They have been
telling their people that return
to power of the Democratic party meant
free coinage and the revival of State
banks, and they are afraid to meet them
with record of broken promises such as
the repeal of the Sherman will surely
be construed by them to, be. Hence they
are nearly as strong in their opposition
to unconditional repeal as the Senators
from the border States. On the other
hand the Northern Democrts are quite as
reluctant to go before their constituents
and confess that the Democratic party
has allowed to remain on the statute
book law which they have been saying
was the cause of all our financial woes.
Hence either unconditional repeal or
refusal to Internationally repeal is sure
to offend large part of the Democratic
marty. and make no end of trouble. 1t
is the knowledge of this fact that is par
alyzing both the Democratic repealers
and the anti-repealers; and inducing such
men as German, who are always looking
at political results. to seek some COM
mon round on which the two opposing
factions can stand. Probably one would
be found If it were not for the President.
But Mr.. Cleveland is understood to be
ready to veto everything but uncondi-
tional repeal So the two factions stand
and 1ook at one another, the repealers

While the remarks of the Atlanta Con-
stitution do not represent.the opinions of
anywhere near 65, 100000 of people, they
do undoubtedly fairly voice the sentiment
of the great majority of the people south
of Mason's and Dixon's line. In that
section there is no doubt that the free
silver sentiment is in the majority, and
the sentiment in favor of the revival of
State banks also. Then, too, the ma
jority of the Southern people undoubt-
eddy view with disgust the appointment
of black man to represent the United
States in white community because it
has some tendency to break down the
social barriers between the white and
black races, which the South wants
strengthened rather than weakened.

for the Republican nomination for gov

this fall will be between Mr.. Greenhalge

success in gathering delegates has been
remarkable, and had not Mr.. Pillsbury
