The mackereling season for 1870 is
fast drawing to a close, and by the
middle of November the bay fleet will
have arrived home and the business be
closed up for the year. The shore fleet
have done rothing for the past fortnight,
and many of the vessels have abandoned
the business and hauled up. The mack
erel have struck off much earlier this
season than in former years, consequent
ly the hopes which were entertained of
a good catch in October, to wind up the
years work successfully, have been dis
sipated.


Still the catch Of the season has been
much larger than that Of last, probably
double; and most of the fleet have done
fair years work. One schooner has
been lost in the business.


THE bay fleet, as a general thing,
have done rather slim, the restrictions
placed upon the fisheries in these wa
tiers greatly embarrassing the business.
The number of vessels employed has
been much less than that of the previ-
GUS year, and most OF them have made
but. one trip. A few good fares have
been brought in, but the fleet as whole
will not average more than one hun
dred and seventy.five barrels


The quality of the mackerel has not
been quite so good as those caught off
this shore, and the latter have been
most in demand, but within the past
week the bay have advanced in price,
and the market is daily improving.
The seizure of four vessels engaged in
the business, and the loss of one on her
way hither, has been a serious draw.

it will prove far from profitable to many
of the firms engaged in it. Tosum up,
the mackereling season of 1870 will
prove moderately remunerative, and on

The Courir-Joundl thinks; Ii Gen
eral Grant doesn't mind we shall have
to run him for President in lS72-that
is, the Democracy viii. He has done
an immense deal for our party within
the past few weeks His intentions are
all Radical, it is true; but the results
are all Democratic. He sent his bayo-
nets to New York, and the Democracy
have swept the city and State like a
whirlwind. He sent his bayonets to
Alabama, and the Democratic ticket is
elected by large majority-a Democrat
ic Governor, q Democratic Legislature,
and the assurances of a Democratic
United States Senator in the place of
carpet bag Walker. He sent all the
Federal office holders in Missouri to the
block for their support to Gratz Brown,
and Brown walks over the course. For
all these kindnesses the Democracy, if
they can't consistently nominate Grant
for the Presidency, should at least add
a magnificent monumental wing TO his
villa at Long Branch. Let it be done
bv all means.

This road is being actively pushed
forward. If nothing unfavorable oc-
ours an engine will probably run over it
by the first of February next; Great
expectations are had in Pittsburgh Of
the traffic which will pass over it. Al
ready inquiries have been made as to
the cost Of transportation Of 5000 tons
of iron castings to be shipped to Geor-
gia. Supposing one train to transport
200 tons at time, and allowing two
trips a week for going and returning,
the transportation Of this one order
would require fifteen weeks steady work
of a good size train.-BaLtimore Gazette.

hHE desirableness of holding a Con-
vention for the revision Of the State
Constitution is strenuously urged by
Pennsylvania Republicans. The
movement derives its chief strength
from the prevalence of corruption in
the Legislature, and theadmltted neces-
sity of some change that shall secure
greater honesty in legislation, and the
stoppage of practices that are as dis
graceful as they are demoralizing. This
is an object far above ordinary partisan
ship. Good men Of both parties have
a common interest in the reform, the
success of which will necessarily be in
large degree contingentupon ability to
command the cooperation Of the best
men in the community. Measures at-
fecting the organic law should not be a
pretext for mere party struggles.

In a memoir of B. Franklin, in the

In the Eighth Congressional District
(Ohio) the Democrats have nominated
James r. Hubbell for Congress. The
district is now represented by General
Beatty. Hubbell was formerly q Re-
publican, and tried to represent that dis
rriet in Congress, but his extreme weak
ness disgusted his constituents, and ne
was dropped. Thereupon he obtained
new light, politically, and this new light
carried him into the Democratic party.
where he has since been a standing can
didate for Office. Last year he was elect
ed to the State Senate on the Democratic
ticket. Now he has a wider field to

The surveys of the Isthmus of Darien
for ship canal have given a new de-
monstration of its impracticability.-
Three routes were examined, and Com-
mander Selfridge says that the best Of
these will require a tunnel eight miles
long, under a mountain nine hundred
feet high, which renders it totally inn
practicable. A tunnel of such length,
and large and deep enough for steamers
and sailing ships to pass, is, Of course,
an impossibility. But if it could be
made, at a cost Of hundreds of millions
of dollars, it could not be relied on, for
the whole region is constantly disturbed
by earthquakes, and these would not on
ly be dangerous to navigation but would
probably fill up some part Of the canal
at every shake. All projects for an IN
teroceanic canal in that part OF the lstn,
mus might as well be given up, and
there should be no more expenditure OF
money in surveys, when it has been de-
monstrated over and over again that the
thing is impracticable.

After all, is the world SO very absurd
in its love Of pretty women? A pretty
woman is doing woman's work in the
world; not making puddings, but ma
king life SUMMER and more beautiful. In
a society resolute to be ugly there is no
post for an Adonis but that of a model
or a guardsman. But woman does for
mankind what man has ceased to do.
She clings to the Periclean ideal. Her
aim from very childhood is to be beau
tiful Even as a schoolgirl she notes
the progress of her charms, the deepening
color of her hair, the growing symmetry
of her arm, the ripening contour of her
cheek. We watch with a silent interest
the mysterious reverie of the maiden;
she is dreaming of a coming beauty, and
painting for the glories of eighteen. In
sensibly she becomes an artist, her room
a studio, her glass an academy. The
hours work with her, but she works with
the hours.


What silent musing before her mirror,
what dreams, what discoveries, what
disappointments, what careful gleanings
of experience, what sudden flashes of
inventionl The Joy of her toilet is the
joy of Raffaelle over his canvass, Mich
ael Angelo before his marble. She is
creating beauty in the silence and lone
illness of her chamber she grows like
any other great art-creation, the result
of patience, of hope, Of a thousand deli
cate touchings and Tetouehings. But
even to the Giocoea the moment Of per
fectness. of completion, comes at last;
the master takes his work from the easel
and gives it to the ages. Woman is
never perfect, never complete. A rest
less night undoes the beauty of the day;
sunshine blurs the evanescent coloring
other cheeks; frost nips the tender out
lines Of her face into sudden harshness.
Her pencil has ever to be at work, even
while the hours work for her, and the
hours work against her at last.

How TO MANAGE KEROSENE LAMPs.-Our ears
are every day panied by accounts Of kerosene
lamps exploding and killing, or soaring, for
life, men, women, and children. A simple
knowledge of the infammable nature of the
fluid would probably put stop to nearly all the
the accidents As the oil burns down in the lamp,
a highly infammable gas gathers over its surface,
and as the oil decreases the gas increases. When
the oil is nearly consumed, sight jar will often
nfame the gas, and explosion is sure to follow,
dealing death and destruction. bombshell is
not more to be dreaded Now if the lamp is not
allowed to burn more than half way down, such
accidents impossible. Always fill your lamps
every morning then vou never need fear any ex
plosion.


BE KIND IN Gs.-The sunshine of
life Is made up of \ hHzlms that are bright
all the time. In the nursery, the playground,
and in the schOol-rOom, there is room at all times
for little acts Of kindness, they cost nothing, but
are worth more than gold or silver. To give up
something, where giving up will prevent unhap-
piness-to yield, where persistence will chafe and
fret others-to go little around, rather than
come against another; to take i'll word or a
cross look, rather than resent return it these
are tie ways in which clouds and storms are kept
off, and pleasant smiling sunshine secured even
in the humble home, among very poor people, as
in families in higher stations. Much that we term
the mseries of life would be avoided by adopting
this rule of conduct.

WHAT'S THE REAsoN.-Take twenty boys of
sixteen, in our or any town in this State, and let
them go to work, three or four in dry good
stores, boot and shoe, finishing shment and
printing offices. In ten years they will have be-
come men of twenty-six, and the majority of
them will then be about far along in the bus
mess as they ever will be. One or two only in


each of the above branches, will be established
in business for themselves or connected with


some firm doing good business, and the rest
will be barely getting living and growing
about their poor luck. Now we assert that


there is good reason for their poor success, and


that " luck " has but little if anything at all to


do with it. If we take the trouble to ascertain


that those young men who became masters in


their trades, or leading men in their pursuits,


were not afrDid TO wOrk, and were determined to


succeed. They looked beyond the day and


week. They made themselves valuable and use


full to their employers by being always faithful,


reliable and willing to do what they could for
| the interest of those for whom they worked.
When press Of business came, they were ready


and willing to work extra hours, without sulk-
! ing or grumbng, well knowing that business


must be attended to when it came and that
there were plenty of dull times during the year,
which would more than counterbalance any ex-
ira briskness Of the busy season. To sum it all
up, these young men identified themselves with
the establishment where they were employed


became useful to their employers, in fact, fix
lures, who could be lily spared, and in due


course of time, having gained experience, were
| invited to take hand with the already estab-
! lshed house, or else boldly struck out for them
! selves. Here, then, is the lesson, which is, if


you wish to become successful masters, learn
! first to become faithful servants.

REPUBLICANS OF GRANVILLE COUNTY:


Having received several letters soliciting
my presence, Gn the first instance,) to par
ticipate in the County Convention, and to-
day one requesting me to come home to
Granville and run for the Legislature, all
of which 1 respectfully decline, and will
give you my reasons tor SO doing But be-
fore giving them, will say to you all, Re-
nominees. There has been great deal said
in this direction, but | think there can be
more said TO profit believe that the time
is not far distant when this country will not
contain sensible colored Democrat, or q
dissenter from the regular ticket of the party.
The time for all this rangling is before the
nomination, not afterwards Money and
influence will be used to split your
ticket, but l believe you are too true
to your principles to be influenced or
bought up, although it may have
Asome effect on the worthless ones-
Let this he our motto: awe are Republi-


and &C such will vote the Republican


tket" We may personally be dissatis-
yiied with some on the ticket, yet for Union
and Tor the maintenance Of our principles,
for which we battle, we will vote the whole
ticket. think as q whole our ticket could
not be bettered. Keep the party together,
for only by united action is our salcation sure
1 hope there will be no independent candi-
dates to weaken the party in our county,
for such course of procedure would only
result in the election Of Democratic candi-
date. My reasons for holding together are
these:


1st. Because that party holds to the doc
trine that we have SO long been fighting
for, ''that all men are created free and equal"
and VIC cannot, and must not, vote the
Democratic ticket, because they hold to the
doctrine "that the black men have
no rights that white men are bound
to respect" They call their party white
mans party, and l infer from the title
that they don't want US, and God
knows we don't want them, unless they can
show better spirit than they have hereto
fore. And we, as people, are too dignifed
to intrude into their white mans party"
Look at New York and Ohio, which at
18th amendment as soon as they telt them
selves sufficiently Oemocratically) strong.
But God has blessed the efforts of the Re.
publican party, only because they were right,
and they have succeeded in getting the
amendment adopted. 1t is fact that we
were as helpless POLITICALLY as the bahc at its
mothers breast. And now We have become
voters by the Republican party, and that
party only. Is it possible that any man
should be blind enough to cast his vote
against his delivcrer and in favor of the OPP
pressor? This you will do it you split your
ticket-vote yourself from citizen to Il
chattcl. God forbid that any such fools
should be found in our ranks.
