LOOKING SOUTH.

A marked copy of the Sterling Ill.) Her ald has escaped the snowdrifts and ice gorges of the Northwest and found it's way to our exchange table. In it we find re- produced from the AGE HERALD of several days ago an editorial descriptive of the at fractions of the South, as follows:
 Oh, what land of plenty, where butter can be used for soap grease; land of milk and honey, of vine and fl s tree; a land where on one farm can be grown cotton, corn, wheat, oats, rye. barley, rice tobacco, tea, sugar cane, peas, sweet and Irish potatoes, pump kins, cashaws, grasses, clover; where apples, peaches, figs, pome granates, plums, grapes and all berries flourish and thrive uxnriantiy; where garden yegetation of all varieties grows in profuse abundance; where every fowl thrives and cattle seldom need shelter, and plowing 6 can be done every month in the year; where rains are abundant and drought rarely comes; where cold is rarely severe and heat never extreme-a land of sunshine and showers.
 Come, friends, from the bleak and droughty lands and find welcome home in our sunny South.
 At the bottom of the foregoing article Is written In ink: :Would I were with theel Ella.''
 So it seems that the AGE -HERALD's de- scription of the South caught the appre- ciative eye of woman. Perhaps the large influx of popul ation that is sure to come from the Northwest will be largely due to women. They love a genial climate, and they will urge their fathers and brothers and husbands to leave the bleak Northwest and make their home in the hospitable South.
 h the local columns of the Sterling Her. aid we find this paragraph:
 Every morning this week the mercury has marked from l6 to 20 degrees below zero. Old inhabitants tell us that it's nothing "when you get used to It."
 Twenty degrees below zero! Gee whizl No wonder the people want to get away from there. Today the thermometer in this city registers 50 degrees; the sun is shining brightly and warmly; there is not a fleck of cloud in the deep blue sky; the birds are singing and the roosters growing. Come to the South, the story-fa South
 Where the mocking birds carol is free There S a charm in the strain, will sing 1t

SHOT HIS FATHER.

NEGRO OBJECTS TO HIS SISTER BEING
 CHAsTIsED-Now AT LARGE.
 Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock Ali Dawson, an old negro living on Fourth avenue, between Fourteenth and Fifteen th streets, was shot twice and badly wounded by Phil Dawson, his own son. One of the balls entered his neck from the right side, while the other pierced his right thigh. Both wounds are very serious, but are con, sidered not necessarily fatal. Just how the row which resulted in the shooting started has never been ascertained, but from all accounts it seems that the father was reprimanding daughter for some cause. The reprimand, 1t seems, further, was oilowed up by the old man picking up broom as if he intended to chastise the daughter. Phil didn't like the use of a broom in that way, and raised up from a bed upon which he was reclining and fired two shots, taking effect as mentioned. Seeing what be had done be fled towards Ensley, and bis parents haven't seen him since. Officer Walton and others went down to the scene of the shooting, but missed the one who did the shooting.

STILL FILING IT IN.

NEW YoRK, Feb. 1S.-The Belmont Morgan syndicate continues to deposit gold us rapidly as it can be secured. Since the deposits have begun in the legal de- positories it is impossible to obtain the cialiy to the managers of the syndicate, as the legal Repositories make their report direct to the treasury department at Wash- ington. With the s1 BOO. .000 gold depos- tied at the sub. b.treasury up to o'clock it out the country amount to over SPA ,0OO, 600. The idea has prevailed that as soon as the gold deposited here reaches S32 ,500, 1000 de- posits will cease until further amounts are brought monthly from Europe. It is prob able, however, that the syndicate will continue to deposit gold here until the whole $65, ,0OO, 900 is in the treasury, bor- rowing ali gold over $32 ,5O0, ,000 and repay ing the money lenders as fast as gold ar- rives from abroad.

Missouri compromise had something to do with the classification. But Missouri is just as distinctly Western as Illinois. It was settled nearly altogether by Eastern people and by foreigners. Very few peo- pie from the South live there. The move- ment of emigration has always tended from East to West; never from North to South, or from South to North. But the move- ment from the North to the South seems to have set in, and we trust will grow in vol ume until it becomea hegira.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

Mir. J. c. Lewis and strong speciality company came to O'Brien's last plight for two performances, and a large and highly delighted audience was present for the oc- casion. The first note of warning that "Si Plunkard'' was in town was heralded upon the streets yesterday at uoou by that quaint New England character with a regular "hayseed' band. No sooner had the band begun to play than large crowd gathered around, and they were amply rewarded, for the music discoursed was of a highly ar- tistic character and was applauded again and again.
 Last night this same band dscoursed sweet music in front of the opera house and on the inside rendered number of beautifcl selections, as follows:
 Q.) Descriptive, "A Day at the Circus. !" (2.) :" Tie Gondolier. ' (3.) Selection from "Paryamma. comic opera. (4.) Descriptive piece, "The Hunting Scene. - Each selection was gem and was well received.
 But for the humorous part of the per- formauce. It was all there and the audi ence did not miss 6 line of it. There WAS laughter in every line and the audience went from one laugh into another. though easily followed. Country folks, 9 pretty girl, heress to a rich New York uncle's wealth, a villainous cousin desirous of getting it, Si Plunkard, a vertable hay seed, though not too green to be outwitted by chap in store- bought clothes, and others, especially the tramp and Dutch- man.
 The play is interspersed with bright, catchy specialties and is an all-round good performance, neat and clean.
 Mir. Lewis and Miss Jeanette Lewis in the leading roles, Si and Dora, the heiress, were above the average and were the life of the play, ably assisted by the others in the parts, as follows:
 Robert Denney, speeulator. Harry E. Davis Felix mart, an inventor. William Milligan Ezra Page, New Englander Ero,L Eorrau Scrubby Sfmpkns. ns........-... ~ Moses Wilton, Jew moneyl

 The scene introducing genuine thresh- ing machine was exceptionally good, and as realistic as could be desired.
 The railway scene was clever, though like all of them, lacking in realism.
 The performance will be repeated tonight with an introduction of new specialties and a change of musical programme, and with the prices as low as they are should draw packed house.

PEACE PROTEST.

The recent Antwerp Peace Congress met under the most suspicious circumstances, and 1t was sincerely hoped that it's deliber- ations and earnest appeals in behalf of peace would result in allaying the angry passions of men and be blessed by realiza- ton of most benefcent benedictions. Its object was to perpetuate the reign of peace on earth and-good will toward men both among nations, families and individuals. Delegates were present from all over the civilized world, and they believed that their zealous labors would be crowned with the full fruition of their fondest hopes. By faith they saw the day at hand when wars and rumors of war should cease, when spears would be beatena into plowshares apd swords into pruning hooks, and the Hion and the lamb would lie down together. But all these fond hopes have been blasted, . all these cherished illusions have been dis pelled, all these earnest prayers have come to naught. Two belligerent sons of Ala bama have shattered the work of the Ant werp Peace Congress. They have rushed into print and stirred up strife and dis cord. Their numerous adherents have taken sides, and the strife promises to spread un- til it becomes national-and perhaps inter. national-in extent. The dangerous state of affairs is all the more deplorable because it was brought about by such an insignii- cant casus belli as the weather. One as- serted that the present winter was the se- verest ever known, while the other im- peached his veracity and charged him with trying to rob "the oldest inhabitant" of his honors. Had Hon. M. A. Porter and MT. Charles A. Senn waited until the sun shone forth and dissipated the winter of our discontent with it's glorious beams, there would have been no necessity for sucb-an acrimonious discussion and dis turhance of the peace.

GEORGE PEABODY, the great philan- thropist, was born at Danvers, Mass. February IS, 17e5, just 100 years ago. The anniversary of his birth was duly cele- brated yesterday. He started in life poor boy and accumulated his millions by hard work and industry. After getting a start in this country he established himself in London. He was offered a baronetcy, but declined. He gave to the poor of London S2, ,600, GOO. The crowning act of his benev- oieuce was his gilt of B, ,5O0, GOO to estab- fish the Peabody educational fund in the Southern States.
