An Io TTliIrii JIny Rranlt la Itrr.-iUlr.;
the Solid Bjonlli.
"Washington, January 5. The bour
bons from all over the South are revil
ing 3Iahone, and display extreme trepi
dation at the constant outcropping of
an inclination to follow his footsteps on
the part of prominent men in other
Southern States. It is believed among
the Republicans very generally that the
.break in the, solid South will soon ex
tend all along the line, and there are
strong, imlicationB'of ja split on thOjtar-,1
hi issue Deiween mo uemocrauu party
and the Louisiana Democracy. A
leading sugar manufacturer of New
Orleans, and a Democrat, who is in
this city, said to-day: "We want pro
tection for our sugar interest. All our
fortunes are invested in sugar, and we
would be ruined by free trade. The
Government is bound by contract to
protect us; for we were told that wo
would be protected, providing that we
were to go into the business. In the
face of this understanding, that we were
to be protected against Cuban and all
other sugars, here comes the Democrat
ic party and talks about a tariflf for
rev.- nue only. If tho canvasd was made
in Louisiana as it might have been
on that issue, Hancock and English
'could not have carried the State, and
no party with a free trade plank in its
platform will ever do it as;a1n. Now
the Republican party is really with us
in our interests. First, there is the
matter of protection; second, the Re
publican party is understood to be in
favor of a liberal appropriation for in
Uernal improvements. That- suits us.
Give us protection for our sugar, and
build up the levees on the Mississippi,
and wo will make, all the sugar the
people of the TJnitec Stales need, and
more too."
Moi ILc Outrage.
The Prineville "News" says that par
ties have killed mule deer by the thou
sands in that section, merely for the
sKinsnna-ttitr-TTnoiccnionE ot-..o.jior
the nieat, which is inferior to no other
game, being left for the coyotes to eat
or rot upon tho ground where killed.
It pronounces this wholesale butchery
as a great outragc, and insists that
something must he done to protect the
noblo animal or the species w ill soon be
extinct. There are people in this world
who apparently are governed by no
principle other than greed and selfish
ness. For this class of peoplo a strin
gent law should be placed upon our
statute books, and not only placed there,
but it should be enforced, to the end
that the rights of others may bo re
spected, "'he present game law is in-
eGcient, and the coming Legislature
should so amend it that our game law,
shall not be wantonly and cruelly butch
ered and wasted, so that a few lazy
vagabonds may satisfy their greed and
selfishness.
The New York "Suti" never before
told a truth that contained so much of
solid food for reflection, as it contained
in the following: The sooner the youth
of this- country aro compelled by the
scopo and tendency of our public school
system to recognize that only one boy
in a hundred can be a lawyer, doctor, or
clergyman, thejbelter it will be for the
American people. To that end it is
essential that our method of training
shall cease to foster the silly abortive
preference for so-called gentlemanly
pursuits shall squarely face the fact
that manuaf labor is tho sphere in
which the majority of the human race
aro destined to move, and that it is
mechanical skill and genius which
havo transformed the .world, and which
should command the highest prizes in
the race of life.
To purify a room, set a pitcher of
water in the apartment,' and in a few
hours it will have absorbed all tho re
spired gases in the room, the air of
which will have become pure, but tho
water utterly filthy. The colder the
water the greater the capacity to contain
these gases. At ordinary temperature
a pail of water will absorb' a pint of
carbonic acid gas nnd several pints of
ammonia. The capacity is nearly
doubled by reducing the water tothe
temperature of ice. Hence, water kept
in a room awhile is unfit for use. For
the same reason, water from a pump
should always be pumped out in the
morning beforo any of it is used. ; Im
pure w.iter is more injurious than im
pure air. .

liMxii: at ciun's roi.vr.
During the fall and winter of 18(Jl
-2 there were several thousand troops
stationed at Bird's Point, jtfo., among
them tho Eight and Twentieth Illinois
Infantry. The camp, at "the time of
which I write, was commanded by that
sterling old soldiqr Dick Ogtesby, Cpl.
of the eight, and as there was a good
deal of drunkenness among the men in
camp tho colonel' fssucd strict orders
that no whisky should be brcught into
camp, and, to enforce his orders, ho
placedofficcrs on the government terry
Wt3 plyinlfc'tweenCauSaiiil' BfrJt'a
Point, to inspect everything brought "
over. All manner of tricks were re
sorted to, i hat thp "mother of inven
tion" could deviso to smuggle the stuff
over.
At first it was hrought in gun barrels
and when that was discovered, it was
smuggled into camp by book-peddlers,
with cases made in imitation of books,
Pilgrim's Progress, prayer books etc.,
containing the prohibited fluid. For
a tinio these devices worked well, at
last the inspectors got on to all these
expedients and tho boys wero getting
very, very dry.
One day a boy of ths Twentieth,
whose name I have forgotten, but who
was know,n all over the camp as one
up to all manner of tricks, conceived
anoriginal idea in tho way of smugglin?.
Ho obtained a pass to go to Cairo on
some pretext, and when he canio back
ho had a large demijohn which t,eemed
very heavy. Tho insictor eyed him
suspiciously, and stepping up to him,
asked what he had there. Tho soldier
says: "ily mess bought n lot of cab
bages from a contraband who came in
to camp this morning, and sent mo
over to Cairo to buy soruo vinegar."
Tho officer thinking that a pretty good
story, stooped down, took out the stop
per, and touched it to his tongue, when
ho found it to bo as tho soldier had
said vinegar and feelingliimself sold,
ho turned on his heel, saying, "honest
for once,"
Tho soldier brought his jug to camp,
and to his own quarters, anlrjTfCceen ea
to open it up. First he poured out the
vinegar the officer lind inspected; then
he took tho ramrod from his gun, put
on the woriner, and ran it down tho
long neck of tho demijohn, twisted it
into a second stopper, nnd drew that
out; then he says: "Boys, get your cups,
for I have some of the 'critter' here,"
patting the jug affectionately. The
cups were speedily broujht (the writer's
among the rest), and they soon wero
filled with some of tho best old ryo
they had drank for a long time..
He filled a good-sized flask, and in
the evening took it himself to the offi
cer who had inspected the vinegar,
saying, "Here is some of that samo
vinegar. I thought you might wish
somo for your cabbage."
Soon tho new j flow through the
camp, and tho officers and men had a
good laugh over the sharp trick. The
few of that noble band who yet survivo
the great struggle will smilo a smile of
remembrance as they read this, renum
bering the facts as here related to bo
true.
The Aztecs. Prof. Slcphcnson, o
tho Hayden surveying party in New
Mexico, is charged by a Chicago paper
with describing the Aztecs as an ex
tinct race that never existed. He says
the are a myth, and that tho tribes
known as the Cliff-dwellers are to.bo
crcuited with all tho romance attached
to the Aztec name. New Mexico is
full of their buried towns and cities.
During his summer's work in New
Mexico Prof Stephenson mado a num
ber of valuable collections, including
skeletons and remains of extinct "ani
mals. Among his trophies are two
gods of Egyptian character, with finely
cut features, outstretched wings, and
traces of paint on their faces. Tho
professor brought away specimens of
pottery-bearing a close resemblance to
that unearthed iji tho ruins of the Old
World, and also secured the fecret of
its manufacture from tho Indians, who
still make it in New Mexico.
