He Will, Under Protest, SuPpors Any


Man for n Third Term aSaAnss "


Civil Rights Candidate.


NEW YORK, July La telegram nom
Richmond states that Gov. Kemper has pre-
pared for publication long letter N reply
to the charge that he had entered into an
arrangement, during his recent visit 70
Washington, to support President Grant
for third term. The letter contains the
following sentence:


"If the future should bring Ierwaru
candidate impersonating the third Term
principle, if he should cut loose from
old party trammels and take MS
stand ON our safe conservative
ground Of universal reconciliation,
and peace under the Constitution, and II
so standing he should be opposed by any
champion of the civil rights iniquity-then
in the contest between the two the Con
servatiYe party ought to 60 decidedly, but
as an organized party, and net otherwise,
Tor the third term, yet with a protest on
their lips against the third term principle;
and in spite OF that principle"


The Governor recites the circumstances
of his call on President Grant in Washing
ton shortly after his own Inauguration, and
says the visit was one OF courtesy made IN
response of an invitation from the Presl-
dent that the Governor should cali and
make his acquaintance.

PARIS, July 1.-The sub committee OF
the committee of thirty have drawn up a
new constitution. The measure provides
for continuance Of the title Of the Ppssi-
dent Of the republic; for the creation Of a
second chamber; for the organization of a
purely personal sextnate which terminates
with the expiration Of President MacMahOns
seven yeas term, or sooner in case of death
or resignation. No provision is made for a
successor to the President, and it is thought
the object Of the omission is to leave Op-
portunity for the restoration of monarchy
which is possible at the termination of the
seXtenate.

From DIR. Benz. A. GOuld's Address, in Boston,
on His Return from South America.


The glory Of the Southern sky in the
region near the cross is indescribable
There, where the thick stream of bright
stars which skirts the Milky Way cross.
es this river of light, its brilliancy is
wondrously increased, and it exhibits a
magnificence unequaled In any other
portion of the heavens. There glitter a
multitude of bright stars, more thickly
scattered than in any region within our
Northern view, while the background is
gorgeous in its splendor. Often on
some clear night when it has suddenly
been brought to my view in passing
some ediice or turning some street
corner, l have stood amazed at the flood
of light which it diffused; and often,
too, after leaving the observatory in the
early morning hours, after night sf
weary labor, / have felt reluctant 10
abandon the magnificent spectacle, 10
seek the much needed repOse. In close
proximity are thench consultations Of
the Centaur, the keel and sails of tie
ship Argo. and the Wolf, and the glory
reaches through the Altar even t. tle
southern pOrtionOf the Scorpion. Thae
are large tracts which rival the Pleiades
IN the profusion of their stars cleaning
upon background of nebula. Else
where the Southern heavens are not so
brilliant as the Northern, nor DO they
contain so many stars as bright as the
talntest which we can discern: but there
IS nothing between the two poles to
camPare in beauty with the tract 30
which l refer.

A YOUNG gentleman of Belmont, who
if not remarkable for his zeal in the

organize Lodge of the Order of Good

in his efforts SO far as to get the minis
ter to announce from the pulpit, on a re-
cent Sunday, that at the conclusion OF
the services meeting would be held for
the purpose of taking the preliminary
steps towards effecting an organization.
The services over, the congregation filed

We are Informed that the young ladies in
the Manchac portion of our parish turned
out this year and are doing gallant service
as field hands in the cultivation OF corn and
cotton. Let it ever be said to their glory
and honor that tae young ladies OF Man
chac are deserving of good industrious hus-
bands, and would press this fact as warn
ing 10 some of our Baton Rouge boys who
are afraid to work in the hot sun. Surely
if these gallant girls can GO in the field and
make crop. the boys ought not TO stand
back and simper over the heat of the sun as
an objection to making themselves useful
as we'll as ornamental members to society.
Were We dilapidated bachelor We should
strike out at once for that charming group
of industrious Manchac girls for a wife.
Boys, take our advice; 60 to work and
prove yourselves to be worthy of an in
dustrious wife, and you will be sure to find
one worthy of your affeetions-on Manchac.

in a complete victory for the Ger

SECURING SALMON EGGs.-A corre-
spondent writing from the Maine breed
ing ponds says; The fish are dipped out
Of the pens one by one, and brought to
the principal operator, who sits on Il
stool with shallow tin pan before him.
First q female salmon is taken in hand
and her eggs pressed out into the pan
without any water other than that con-
tanned in the viscid fluid that comes with
them from the fish. In clear water the
eggs would soon lose the capacity of fe-
cundation, but in their natural fluid they
retain it for long time. AS soon as
the fish has yielded all her eggs she is
slipped into bag and weighed, placed
on bench and measured, marked by at
taching small stamped metal tag to the
back fn, and placed in one Of the pers,
where she soon RECEIVERS from her ex
haustion, and whence in due course of
time she is turned out into the brook or
carted down to the river The eggs are
also weighed, and then replaced before
the operator, who now takes male sal
mon aud presses his mit into the same
pan. This is The most important part
of the whole process, for without the ie-
cundating influence of the milt the eggs
would never develop into fish. 1t was
formerly the practice to let eggs and mit
fall from the fish into dish Of water
but the mit, when in watar, loses the
power of acting upon the eggs even
quicker than the eggs lose the capacity
Of being acted upon, and it thus often
happened that the intimate contact essen
tial was not effected soon enough to in-
sure formulation. From this cause "a
large percentage of eggs commonly failed
A Russian gentleman made the discovery
that it water were kept away from the
eggs until fresh milt had come in contact
with them, nearly all we're formulated
This is the method pursued at Bucks
port, and with such success that, on the
average, not more than two or three per
cent. of the eggs fail to be iecundated
The rate of formulation is obtained by
very careful observation.

be drawn from circulation and in two

With small bills in circulation, there is

During periods of great speculation and
apparent prosperity there is little demand
for coin and then it will flow out to

something which it cannot do while lying
idle. Gold, like anything else, when not
needed becomes a surplus, and like every
other surplus, it seeks market where it
can find one. By giving active employ

The flashes of excitement produced by the
stimulants in ordinary use, are followed by a
reaction that is always more or less injurious.
Just as the darkness, Illuminated for a moment
by the Bghtning's glare, becomes apparently
blacker than ever after the flash is over, so the
mental gloom and physical debility that vanish
temporarily under the influence of a dram, re-
turn with ten-fold intensity when the first
transient effect ceases. Yet physicians habit
ually prescribe the liquors of commerce for pa
tients suffering from bodily weakness and men
tai dependency. The true remedy in such
cases is a pure stimulant medcated with the
finest tonics ard Alternatives which the vegetable
kingdom affords, and Hostetters Stomach Bit
ters is the only preparation at present known
which thoroughly meets the emergency The
effect of this popular restorative is continuous.
Each dose taken invigorates the vital energies
and the brain, and its prolonged use will un-
questionably cure any case Of debility, hypo-
chondria, or mental torpidity that does not arise
from organic causes beyond the reach of med-
cine. 1t is, in the strictest sense of the word


an invigorating and regulating cordial. If the
nerves tremulous and relaxed, it braces
them; if the bowels are constipated, it relieves
them; if the liver is torpid it promotes activity
in that organ if the mind is gloomy, it clears
away the clouds; if the appetite is poor and di-
gestion slow and painful operation, it creates q
relish for food and enables the stomach to con-
vert it into healthful aliment. Moreover, it is a
specific for large number of ailments, some of
which are particularly prevalent in the damp
and chilly weather which we so often experience


in mid winter. Among these may be mentioned
rheumatism, chlls and fever and all the morbid
conditions of the digestive anc secretive organs
superinduced by sudden changes of tempera-
ture and the inclemencies Of the season.

best mines in the State.


At the Bellevue large force is employed daily

in richness, is thought will yield as well as that
taken from the Crater. This mine is not yet so
