Tho Washington correspondent
of tho New York World, writing
Oh the 1ith, says: " An informal
conference Of Southern Senators
and Others from that section was
held at Willards hotel tonight at
the rooms of Gen. Gordon. The
general situation as concerns the
South was very fully discussed. II
was the sentiment of those pres
cnt that, as a section, the South
should abstain from any active
attempt TO influence the course Of
the administration, and that it was
the bsst policy for the Southern
Senators to take no part in that
direction, but leave events 10
shape themselves as finally deter
mined by the administration after
consultation with those who arc
politically allied with It. This,
Of course, is not to preclude tho
Southern Senators from giving
such information as may be ncces-
sary, or to use their good offices
In an unobtrusive way to secure
such action as is fair and just to
the South, and to She people Of

There are three conclusions APP
parent from the foregoing. First:
That, even under present manage

own corn and small grain can easily
grow cotton at 9lc. per pound, and
make u handsome profit on IL; and
with closer management, much
better results could be obtained.
Second: AS an opening for ne
small capitalist, not afraid Of work,
nowhere else can such promise De

with peculiar force TO the man
who is now grubbing away his life
On u New England farm, with a
bare living, and that very modest

The Republican leaders refused
TO join issue with Mr.. Hayes in
the appointment of his Cabinet,
and the first political movement
Of The new President is therefore
successful. But the field OF tie
cisiye battle has simply been shift
cd. The Senators saw it was too
early to make a breach in the new
Administration, and that the
choice Of constitutional advisers
was not the point on which to
make their fight /; for the sake OF
the party, weakened as it has been
by the mistakes and misdecds OF
several years, the appearance OF
unity was essential for the sake
of q fair share in the divisions OF
the public spoils, it was necessary
to remain for a time on good terms
with the Executive. Besides, the
sentiment Of the country seems to
be that q President has a right to
select his own advisers, and that
the people should only take iss,fe
with him when he yields to evil
advice. This sentiment made itself
felt. In a party sense the yielding
to bad counsel must follow the
choice of non-partisan counselors,
but the Republican leaders who
think so have acted prudently in
waiting for the overt act. Those
who expected the conflict between
Hayes and his party burst forth al
once in undisguiscd fury, forgot
the slow pace at which revolutions
move. The conflict must come il
the President adheres to the policy
which It is said he has marked out
for himself, and If Blaine, Morton,
and Cameron remain true to the
traditional policy Of the party
but the collision may be avoided
for u long time by the address OF
the old politicians at the helm Of
each vessel, who are skilled to take
advantage Of every skillful ma
neuvrc, even when their craft is

prcjudices. The memorable breach

Those who have never personally in
spected the lower levels of our mines may
obtain some idea of the degree of heat to
be found therein by visiting the Savage
works at the change of shifts. The men
packed together as close as they can
stand on the cage-are popped up out of
the shaft all steaming hot, for all the
world like bunch of asparagus just lift
ed from the pot. They make their ap
pearance in cloud of steam that pours
up continuously from the "depths pro-
found and are dimly seen until they
step forth upon the floor of the works.
AS the men land and separate each car
ries with him for half minute his little
private cloud of vapor. AS this passes
off the man is seen to be naked from the
waist up, his skin as wet as though he
had just been lifted out of pool of wa
ter. The men bring up with them-be-
sides the steam-an amount of heat that
may be felt by the spectator as they
pass.


All this is at the top OF the shaft, where
it is considered quite cool; what, then,
must it be hundreds of feet below, where
the men started from, down where the
water stands at 157 degrees Fahrenheit?
Down there no steam is seen-it is too
hot for it. 1t is only. when the hot, moist
air coming up from the lower regions
strikes the cool air toward the top of the
shaft that it takes the form of steam.
Down there where the men come from
you must keep your hands off the pump
column and the pipes, and if you pick up
any iron tool you will at once put it down
without being told to do SO. Down
there they handle things with gloves on,
or wrap rags about the drills they are
guiding and iron apparatus they are NOV
ing, and down there, too, you will learn
to keep your mouth shut after you have
drawn few mouthfuls of hot air into
your lungs.


Perspire? 1t is no name for it. You
are like sponge that is being squeezed.
You are ready to believe that you have
ten million pores to every square inch of
surface, or as many more as any author
ity may mention, and that all these pores
are as big as the cells of honey-comb.
You go for ice-water, and italmost seems
to hiss as it passes down your throat
you keep going for it, and thus, in a
short time, find out what becomes of the
tons and tons of ice that are daily con-
sumed in the mines. Remain below
among the miners for an hour or two,
and when you are finally popped out at
the top of the shaft, all red-hot and
steaming, among the other asparagus
sprouts, you will appreciate the beauty,
the light and the GOODNESS of the upper

eB-After bowling as Justify as their
lungs would allow for the regular army
during the late labor riots, the Democrats
in Congress are now seeking to reduce it
to 10000 men, which would mean in real
ity no army at all AT present the NOM
inal strength of the army is 5000, rank
and file, but, making allowances for the
sick and desertions and those otherwise
employed as clerks, the army cannot
muster much over $4,000 men for actual
service. Reduce it to 10000 men, and
it is substantially legislated out of exist


ence. Gen Sherman, in his report to
Congress, has suggested what will COM
mend itself to the people of this country,
namely, the filling up of the various COM
panies to their full strength, which will
not necessitate any more officers, and will
make the nominal strength of the army
about 20 900 men, Even at that figure
there is no danger that the army would
interfere with heliberties of Democrats,
while in time OF real danger like the
late riots, when Democrats clamor lusti-
ly for the army TO help them, they would
have some one to call upon TO come to
their rescue. Suppose during the recent
riots the army had been reduced TO the
figure now demanded by the Democrats,

Sweet are the uses of retributive JUS
tice. In passing through a train on the
New York Central Railroad to collect
tickets, the conductor encountered, east
of Utica, q colored man who had neither
ticket nor medium of exchange, and,
after desultory discussion, stopped the
cars and kicked him off the platform.
A few weeks afterward, the conductor
took a chair in barber-shop in Albany,
under the ministration of colored man.
The barber covered his customers face
with lather, whipped out glittering
razor, and, while he was improving its
edge by means of a strop that dangled
from the wall, remarked to the gentleman
in the chair: "Say, boss, you doesn't
know me, does you? Does you remem-
ber de fellah you lambed from your
train up at Tribes Hill? Dat was bad
thing for you to do, sab, an remembers
it we'll" Right here the conductor
bounded from his chair and danced
around the room with the latherdripping
from his chin and his hair standing on
end. He was finally induced to resume
his seat, on the barber's pledging him
self to do no mischief, but he did not en-

when he was outside of the shop.

Be anxious when you relate anything
to tell it just as it occurred. Never

why our ears are, so often saluted by

trip up the country this spring to try

hotel keeper who was in arrears to his

NOTES.


This is the best week the Exhibition has
had. There were more paying admissions
on the Fourth than on the opening day,
although the crowd was not nearly ~
great, and all the week the attendance has
been on the increase. The managers
think they have got over the rough
ground, now that the time approaches for
excursions. By the way, it is Permanent
Exhibition no longer, but International
Exhibition, though why, it would be
particularly hard to say.


The town begins to wear its summer
look. The regular long-term absentees
have flown and the short-termers are now
getting out-waltzing out is, believe,
the more elegant phrase-as rapidly as
possible. The season at Cape May and
Atlantic City is fair for the period
though it will not be an old-fashioned
time but can any of you, down in Della
ware, tell us when those times will come
again Here we have about given up
asking the question.


The "Baby Farmers, p" having been driven
out of New York, seem to have established
themselves in this city. There have been
various reports of this kind lately, and the
officers have finally secured proof against
woman living near Tenth and Arch
streets, who has made regular employ
ment of taking infants to nurse" for
heavy fees, promising the anxious parents
that they need have NO further concern
about their offspring. Such wickedness
appears incredible, but there is no reason
