LI HEM AX LYJXO EXPOSED.
For at least half a century past, or
ganized efforts bavo been made to,
humbug tbe American people reepect-
inir Liberia : Us produetiveness, pros
perity, climate, oto. Tbe Colonization
SocK'ty and its airer.ts have done much
in this line and even religious mission
aries to that country, on returning to
the United Mates on visiu or tore
main here, bavo from tbe pulpit held
up Liberia an a paradise for immi
grants. Only a few weeks aco the
i hai iiiH of this African garden cf joy
and plenty were painted by roturned
missionaries in ibis city to credulous
and admiring audiences. Jn various
parts of the Union, during tbe past
forty or filly yoars, many colored poo-
fle have been induced to emigrate to
iilioria, and lately a very lively inter
est in favor of going to that country
has been excited in South Carolina,
particularly in Charleston. The pa
pers of that city have recently been
full of this matter and tbo anticipated
emigration of nogrne from that re
gion appears so great to the minds o(
tho editors that thoy speak of it as tbo
"exodus " 'i be ignorant colored peo
ple there havo been nude to behove
Liberia to bo a land flowing with milk
and bonoy and affording a fine living
and even wealth, with but very little
effort on tho part of immigrants.
Against tins imposition upon tbe poor
negroes The JHcaird has repeatedly
protested, urging the fact tbat tho cli
mate of Liberia is unhealthy and even
deadly to foreigners-, that its native
population is hostile to immigrants,
and that tbo chances of prospering
there are exceeding slim. Whatever
we have spoken of Liberia and tbo ef
forts to induce our colored people to
remove we have advised tho latter to
remain in this country, where tbe land
is fertile, the climate healthful, the In
stitutionB free and tbe opportunities
lor eaucuation, prosperity and happi
ness unsurpassed by thoso offered by
any other country on earth. And now
we gladly find our argument confirm
ed and reinforced by an ofliolal state
ment of facts just received from Liberia
at tbe Department al State in Wash
ington, . , , .
This publication shows that "tbe
elimuto on tho sen count is very dan
gerous to all but natives." , Evon
"horses, mules and donkeys cannot
live there. Horses are found in the In-
toripr,- but when brought to the sea
coast sickoo and die. This report
continues: "Although as to the tem
perature constant summer prevails,
yet tho miasmatic influonco caused by
tbe heavy rains, alternating with hot
sunshine, causes' sickness during six
months ot tbo year, and during the re
maining six months the power of tbe
s tin is suoh that it is almost impossible
lor any out tho natives to work. The
mean temperature is about 85, but on
account of the dampness of the climate
the beat is sultry, depressing and weak
cuing. There is still very littlo civili
zation and very littlo agricultural en
terprise Liberia baa never produced
enough food for her own borne con
sumption, and although she should be
a rice growing country, rice is import
ed Irom England and othor countries
and sold at lour dollars a bushel, twice
tho cost at which better rice could be
grown and sold there. Elour is 814
per barrel, butter SI pur pound, and
hams from $5 to ?H. Other provisions
aro proportionately high. There ia
not a plow in use in Liberia, and the
agricultural implements aro of the most
primitive character, such as cutlasBes,
noes, mil cooks, eto. ihcro aro no
publio schools. The immigrant has to
enmputo with tbe native labor. The
natives are strong and hardy, and one
of them will do the work ol a horse at
fifty cents a day. Tbo settlors want
ed in Liberia, as thoughtful and prom
inent Liberians rooognico, are those
who can afford and would prefer to
pay tbeir own expenses of vovaire and
settlement."
Thia picture, ot Liberia is anything
but oncouraglng to our colored people
to emigrdle to that country. Tbe fucks
stated speak for themselves, and re
quire no comment. But tho advocates
of Liberian emigration may say that
me anove account rotors only to the
sea coast part ol tbat country. In re
ply we may say that it ia this very
portion, and this only, whiob baa been
colonited by American negroes. Tbe
report from the State Department
suys: "The back hilly country ia said
to be fine and healthy, but It Is
pcnetrablo only by the foot paths
which have hden cat by tbe native
through almott impenetrable forest,
and evorytbing'must be borne on the
beads or backs of native carriers, aa
there are no road. The fact i that
the settlors cannot go to the 'high hills
and undulating plains,' and said to be
in the in ierior of A frica, without means
to provide themselves with roads and
without treatio ol commerce and
friendship witb the nnmerous petty
kings, who are in many instance either
openly or covortly hostile. It would
frequently be necessary to enforce
such treaties by moans of an armed
lorce, as England and other f.uropoan
rowers which have Alrican poaweesion
bare found from experience." Thia
does not open a pleasing prospect to
tbotio who intend to go to Liberia to
live. They must remain near the
coast during the brief time they would
be able to live at all, and then die, as
the homes, mules and donkey do.
Wo hope tbe facta just put forth by
the State Department Will be well eir-
culatod throughout South Carolina,
lioorgfa and tbe other Southern-flute
from which a negro "exodus" to Libe
ria i contemplated. Thedeloded col
ored people of that region should be
nnnereived, and Una atatoment of facta

FEEDING REGULATIONS.
e
Waring, in hia Book of tbe Farm,
recently published, lay down tho ft.
lowing rules to be observed in winter
feeding ot atocil :
1. Cleanliness-is of tho utmost im
portance. It is impossible for any of
the Uomestic ammala to do tbeir beet
nnlost their skint are free from dirt,
nad in a fresh and healthy condition.
2. Regularity, especially in feedine-
and watering, ia very important. In
establishments where feeding ia done
by tho clock, the animals will lie qui
etly down until very nearly tbe tiro
for feeding. Aa the hour approaches
they will get up, eager and oxpoclant,

CRIME-
Tbe way in which the Florida con
fessions have been received by the Re
publican 6rgan and by many in tho
party who are not politicians, affords
a humiliating illustration of tbe blind
nee and perversity of partiaanry. The
crime confessed by McJ.in and hia ac
complices Is one of no ordinary magni
tude. It is, in fact, the greatest poli
tical crime known to the history of this
country, a crime so heinous in itself
and so tur-reacbing in its effects that
there it no greater ol iu kind. It tbo
vote of Statos may be stolen, and if an
important general election, involving
the cboic of the President and Vine
President of tbe United Statos, may be
vitiated by tbe perjury and ballot-stuffing
of a knot of corrupt politieians in
an obscure county tVl without any
meant appearing for redressing the
wrong, the attention of the whole coun
try is imperatively demanded at least
to prevent tbe repetition ot the out
rage, and all parlies should join in hold
ing the criminals ap to infamy, Tbe
confession of such crime a few year
ago would have abaken tbo Uuion from
centre to circumferonoe. Abovo all, the
Republican party tho party of con
science, the party of Intelligence, tho
Earty of great moral ideas would have
as toned to dear it skirts of so groat
an iniquity. Jiut it it tbe old story :
Vlea la a monitor of ao frigbtfol ailea -A
I to be bated aead. but la ba em ,
Yet Men tna oft, familiar with her faoa,
Wa Irit endure, the pity, then oabraee. '
Respectable journals that once indig
nantly repelled the imputation of fraud
in Florida and Louisiana at tbe coin-
ago of the brain of bull-dozing Demo
crats, bavo arrived at that point where
they cither make it a matter ot jest or.
virtually acknowledging the truth of
tbe charges, simply want to know, in
tbe fashion of Tweed in his days of suc
cessful roguery, what tbo people "are
foing to do about It." jNot one that
as came under our observation bat
had the bTncsty and tho manlinoss to
stand up and say tbat If the confessions
are true a great crime wa committed,
or to demand, in the name of their
party, that tbo matter shall be investi
gated. Indeed, the more threat of in
vestigation throws many of them into
a passion, which tolls more plainly than
any words that tho truth thus ascer
tained would be too great a load for
the party to carry j and with such par
tisans the party it above honesty, above
country, above everything. 'J be de
votion to truth tor it own sake which
characterized the founders of that par
ty and made tbo lessons of their lives
sublime is a thing ot the past.- Into
those sad strait hat Republicanism
fallen through the manipulation of tbe
unclean bands to which, of late, it des
tiny has been confided.
Nothing can be truer, however, than
that, unless the present administration
and tbe party responsible for it induc
tion into office shall disprovo these
charges, they will be buried in the same
grave. This is one of the case in
which bygones will not be by -gone ;
it is not moot that thoy should. The
whole world knows that a great crime
was committed.. Somebody above pre
cinct judge of election and above Jio-
turmng lioanls wa responsible for it
Tbe nation baa a right to know where
thia responsibility lie. The iicpubli
can party reaped the benefit of the vic
tory fraudulently secured ; the Presi
dent ia in the possession of stolen goods,
which Lave bees traced to bis door.
Tbe burden of proof it on tbeir tide. If
they are innocent why do they block
tho way ol investigation by Indignant
protest and abase of the witnesses :
and lit any case why do thoy insult in
telligence by pushing tbe Florida frauds
aside a a little matter? The tool
used to stuff ballot-boxes and forge re
turns were ditty ones, but no other
kihd would bavo oonnentod to tho dirty
service. - Abuse of them by those who
handled them will not answer the par
pose. We novor find honest mon turn
ing State' ovidenoo, for they have
nothing to confess. These confessions,
such as thoy aro, must be tbe basis ot
investigation, and those who stand in
the way of investigation will be crush
ed to powder. rhladeipha 2lmc4.
LONGEST BRIDGE IN TOE
WORLD.
A RAILROAD ITRUCTljBB ALMOST TWO
MILES IR LKROTH,
Tho Longest railroad bridge in tbe
world waa opened lor publio travel near
Dundee, Scotland, oa Tuesday, Scptem
ber 25. The structure thus opened
pans the estuary ot the Tay at a point
almost two miles in width, it has been
constructed for tho purpose of afford
ing facilities for the more convenient
conduet ol the tratllo of the North
British railway company. Hitherto
the North British railway company
have had to carry their traffic across
the Tay by means of a ferry, and this
method wa not only expensive, but
exceedingly slow. Accordingly, their
engineer, jur. liooch, prepared tne
plant of the bridge which has now been
oompfoted. Parliamentary sanction
was obtained in 1370, the bridgo being
constructed aa a separate undertaking
with a capital of El,7o0,000.
Tbe contract for tbe work wa ob
tained in Kay, 1871, and the foundation
stone was laid in the land abutment on
the eontb side on the 22d of July of tbe
same year. . The bridge begins about a
mile and a hall above .Newport, on the
south side of the river, where th depth
of water at high spring tides is 45 feet,
the velocity of the current reaching oc
oaaionally fire knot an hoar. To
bridge thia formidable stretch ot water,
the engineer planned a bridge of. 85
span, varying in length from 67 feet
to 245 feet those of the largest sito, to
the number of 13, being piaoed ovor
the navigablopartof the river. In this
central section, where it waa necessary
to provido for the passage of such ship
ping at frequent the ports ol Newburg
and Perth, tbe bridge haaaelearbeight
of 88 feet above high water, from
which it slopos down to the Fife side
witb a gradient of 1 in 3W, and toward
the Dnndee side, where It lakes a curve
to the eastward in order the more con
veniently to join the land line, with a
gradient of 1 in 73. Cylinder of iron
and brick work witb a diamond of 9f
feet, built on shore w such length a
would reach from the rock on which
tbey were intended to rest to a point
above low water level, each consisting
of a east-Iron shell witb a lining ot brick
work set In Portland cement, leaving
inside a central abaft 3 fwt ia diame
ter through which the workmen might
past op and down, were connected by
meant of a wall pf brick work about a
feet wide, thua placing a apace of 12
feet between their centrea. The whole
being then made fast t a syatem of
Strong Iron girders barge were Intro
duced at low water underneath tbe gird
en so that, when tot tide rote, tbe pon
deroes man., weighing It might be a
much a 12. torn, wa lifted bodily,
and quietly floated ont Into the river.
Having been Lowed out on the site of
the Intended pier the cylinder were
lowered by bydraulio apparatus till
they rested on tbe river bottom. Work
men thon descended the internal shall,
excavated the material from beneath
tbe cylinders, and so caused tbem grad
ually toaink until they reached the rock,
in which 'a level bed was out for thoir
permanent resting place ; but after tho
work oaa noon in progress lor some
time It' was found that tho rook sud
denly thelvod away to a great dopth
under beds ot clay, gravel and sund. It
therefore became impracticable to sink
tbe piore to that toundation,-and a new
method had to bo Introduced. The
weight ot the pier waa lightened by
substituting in the upper worka iron
columns for solid brick, whilo the adop
tion lor cscn pior ol s smgio oval cyl
inder measuring 23) foot by 13) feet
secured a larger bearing than bad pre
viously been obtained with two small
er ones. Tbe outer casing was ol mal
leable instead of cast iron. When tho
large masse were prepared they were
floated but and lowered to the river
bottom, tho sand at the base being re
moved by a pump invented by one of
tho assistant engineer, iiy the work
ing of the pump a large cavity was
speedily formed under tbe cylinder, and
the huge mass ol metal sank Into it by
its own weight, reaching to a dopth of
about 18 feut bolow the bod of the riv
er. The interior of the cylinder waa
afterwards filled to the top witb con
crete, and tbe upper part, so far ns it
stood abore tbe bottom of tbo river,
was noxt remorod, thus leaving an am
ple platform of artificial rock for tho
reception of the super structure, wbiob
consisted in the first instanoe of brick
work in the form of an elongated hex
agon measuring 20 feet by 10 foot, and
placed witb its greater longth in the
direction of the current. This part of
tbe pier waa likewise put together on
shore and floated out between barge
in a length of about 20 feet, being suf
ficient wben placed upon the cylinder,
to reach above low water-mark. From
the low-water level the pier waa form
od of solid brickwork, built in tbe or
dinary way by workmen brought along
side as tbo state ot the tido would per
mit: and at bigh-wator mark lour
courses of etone of an aggregate thick
ness of fonr or five feet tinishod off this
portion of the work. Tho piers of 14
spans were founded in this way, the
upper works being lormed ot iron col
umn ot li and ia inches diameter,
When the piers bad been brought to
the necessary height, the girders, meas
uring 245 feet in longth and weighing
190 tons for each span, were towed
out and doposiled. Tho raising of the
giTdors when the pior had been com
pleted was carried on in lifts of 20 feet
ut a time by hydraulic apparatus.
Two girders, connected by transverse
bracos, going to each span, the ooptns
varying according to the width of the
space to be crossed. The length of the
spans diminishes in going toward the
shores, on either side of the navigable
channel, tbe depths of the girders be
ing correspondingly decreased, . the
minimum being 12 foot. To provide
for expansion by heat, which will
amount to something like seven feet in
the whole.lenglb of tbo bridgo, tho gir
ders have been adjusted to the piers to
allow a certain amount of tree play.
Tbe bridge has been calculated for a
rolling load of 1 i tons to the loot run.
Such a burden is more than could be
brought upon any span by filling it
whole length with loaded freight cars;
no part of the bridgo would have to
undergo a strain of more than four tons
to the square inch, and wben it is borne
in mind that the-iron i actually caps
bl of sustaining a strain 21 tons to
the so ii are inch, it will be seen tbat
thore is an ample margin of surplns
strength.
FLORIDA ORANGE' CULTURE.
The following letter from Mr. A. J
Cur til, of San Mateo, Fla., in reply to
Inquiries made in regard to orange
culture, baa boen published :
In replying to your list of questions
on orango culture in Florida 1 bavo the
bonor to stale :
First, Thore is no blight similar to
that which is known as " pear blight"
that affects the orange tree. ' It is ex
ceedingly hardy and boars transplant
ing well, and I may safely say there
ia no cultivatod tree that repays gen
erous treatmont equal to the orange
tree
Second, It is of very rare occurence
that the frost injures more 'than tho
late tender growth. 1 bo Irocr.e ol De
cember, 1870, billed to tho ground
J'oung, vigorous, growing trees in some
ocalities, but tho past season they
have fully recovered and show no signs
ot having ooen injured, unce oniy, i
behove, within tho recollection of the
"oldest inhabitant" 1837 bavo tho
largo-bearing trees boon killed by froez
ing, and then in three years thoy had
tnroulod and were boarine airain.
Third, Opinion is equally divided at
to whether orango trees raised from
tbe sweet toed or sour trees budded
make tho best groves. Tbo usual cus
tom is to plant an equal number of
both. Tho bearing sour trees taken
from tbo wild grove and budded to
sweet will give fruit three to lour years
sooner than those raisbd from tho sweet
seed, and for the first five years of boar
ing will produce a larger crop. My
own erove, now eleven years old, is all
of thia kind except one. This sweet
seedling wo one year old when the
other trees were sot out and budded,
and ba borne throe crops ol less man
a hundred each, whilo tbe budded trees
have borne seven oropa : five of theso
crope averaged from five to six hun
dred, and last season the average was
nine hundred to tbe tree.
Fourth, Tbe usual distance for plant
ing the tree it twenty feot each way,
or 100 trees to the acre. Sweet seed-
lings are planted from three to five
year-old groves. The age of some
stocks taken from wild grove la not
known.
Fifth, The time required for a bud
ded or grafted tree to com into bear
ing ia three years under favorable
circumstances two years.
Sixth, The yield of a tree when
coming into bearing is from fifty to
one hundred orange) according to the
amount of bearing turfaoe, and the in
crease thereafter, 1 abould say, waa
about ono hundred each year antil it
come into full hour ing, and then the
average crop of a grove ightly cared
for ia about seven hundred a tree.
There are trees in thit country which
have borne crop of seven and eight
thousand, but those heavy oropa are of
rare occurrence. Last teason I bad
three ten-year old budded tree which
together yielded 4,300.
Seventh, The orange tree i a much
fertilized Ireo. Commercial fertilizers
bar been tried, but have generally
proven Injurious. Animal manure is
too beating. Experience has tbown
thai th beet fertilizer lor tbe bealtby
growth and development of tbe orange
tree is muck, composted wltb lime and
applied on the surface.
Eighth, The coccus, or scale insect,
I tupose you mean,' ho affected the
orango tree to somo extent when the
trees woro not in a healthy, vigorous
condition, but with proper cultivation
and prompt application of koroseno or
whalo oil soap, when tbey appear, they
can bo kept at bay.
Mr. Powell asked it any member, of
the Club, before which,-and for the
benefit of whose members tho letter
was road, could say whether, as waa
stated, orango tree growu from seed
would produce the sumo variety and
flavor of fruit as that from which it
was taken. 1 . - ..- .
Dr. Trimble thought it very likoly
to be the case and cited the fact that
acorns produced tho same varioty of
oak tree, &o. lie rolatod what be bad
observed in regard to orange culture
in Honda, alluded to somo very lurge
and productive trees, and closed by ex
pressing the hope that Florida would
go on prosperously in orange culture
until we would be supplied, oh the
oranges from that region were tho bent
brought to this market. -
several members spoke ol tho supe
riority of Florida oranges.' Mr. Ferdi
nand Lawrence remarked that the
finest Flonda oranges camo from the
Indian river region, and were grown
at or in tho neighborhood of New
Smyrna..

Sir. Webster is reported to havo Baid
to a friend that although bo knew that
he had a publio reputation to leave to
posterity, yet if he were to lire his life
over again, he would, upon noconsidcra -
tion whatever, permit himscli toentur
public mo. 1 bo public, bo said, are un
grateful, and tho man who serves them
most faithfully receives no adeiiuuto re
ward. Do your duty, he added as a
private citizen, but let politics alone,
ft is probablo that bo said this substan
tially at it is reported, for there was
never a mora bitterly disappointed pub
lio man. Toward tbo cud ot his life
thore was almost a gloomy melancholy
in bis aspect. At tbe completion of
tbo hne itailroad, in lfcM, as the sec
retary of Statq he accompanied Presi
dent Fillmore and a vory distinguish
ed party of publio men on an excursion
along tho road from Now York to Dun
kirk, and upon reaching Dunkirk bo
spoke from a platform in the street.
During tbe spoech tho Easy Chair, who
was a spectator, observed that tho sun
wa sotting just behind Mr. Webster
as bo stood erect, his gray bair lifted
by tho breeze, his groat head and som
bre, mournful face drawn against the
illuminated west. A little later the
National Convention of bis party pass
ed him by and nominated another can
didate for tbe Presidency. Still a lit
tlo later ho died, as was genorally felt,
a broken henrtod man, not only, it was
bcleived, bocnuso bo bad failed to re
ceive tbo "adequate reward," but be.
causa of some things he had boen will
ing to do to obtain it. On tho evening
of tho lith ol March, 1850, tho orator
at Plymouth itock in 1821 said to a
friend and member of Congress, who
told tho l.asy Chair, " to morrow l am
going to annihilate you abolitionists."
The remarks that wo have quoted
are familiar, and nro but a modern form
of Wolsoy'tpitoous words to Cromwell
in Shakespeare Henri) VIII. They
are truo also in tbis'sense, thnt the man
who serve the publio lor tho hope ol
adequate official reward Irom the pub
lic will probably be disnpponted. But
thit truth it aa old as history, and no
man who is able to fill a great publio
place adequately Can be ignorant of it.
The blindnoss of personal ambition is
well illustrated by tho reported words
ot Mr, Webster, Ho says, in effect,
that he had been not only inadequate
ly rewarded, but had boon most severe
ly censured for his last selfish actions.
But what is adequalo reward of great
publio aorvioe? For forty years Mr.
Webster was almost continuously in
public life, as Kcproicntativo in Con
gress, Senator, and Secretary of Stat.
His commanding abilities, at once re
cognized, placed him in general esti
mation at tbo bead of the bar, and se
cured him an unequalled influonco in
politics. By common consent bo was
the chief of living American orators,
and bis more presence as speaker gave
greatness to tho greatest occasions.
Upon points of constitutional law be
was the highest authority, ao that bis
word alone could challenge a long set
tled interpretation, not only without
absurdity, but with a force that was ao
respoctod as to raise, a doubt - As a
diplomatist he was .unrivalled among
bit tellow-ttatcsmon. And, abore all,
thore was tho greatness of bis reputa
tion a historic famo that began whilo
he was yot living which made him
the most conspicuous of American citi
sons, nnd which might well bavo sat
isfied tho most inordinate ambition of
applauso and personal consideration.
No possiblo official position could have
addod to his renown, nor to his oppor
tunity ot great service. 11 his fame
and his unquestionable powor, tbo im
monse admiration which was univer
sally conceded to him, and bis vast au
thority in publio allium were not an
adequate reward, it is not easy to see
what would havo been. r.DlTOR s

A NF.T- WORK7)FrER.JURIES.
Wo aro not of thoso who consider
that all the foul details of the Hoocher-
Tilton case aro opened by the confes
sion of Mrs. :iizaboth Tilton. The
original offense it lost in tho crimes
that bavo been wroucbt to conceal it,
I ncbastity is not now the only great
fact, but tbo black and appalling per
juries, hypocrisies, lies, doliborato cal
umnies, slaughtered lnendsbips, vio
lated confidences, scattered lamilics,
and broken hearts, that formod the
frame-work upon which tho conceal
ment of it woro hnng. If Mrs. Til
ton's proscntconlbssion be true, Beechcr
is steeped in perjury, hypocrisy and
blaspbomy ; bis original lramy it lur
less abominable than bis subsequent
deliberate and artfully contrived decep
tions. The confession of tho grief
stricken woman docs not therefore only
open np tho old questions again ; lieocli
er ia now on trial also for perjury,
Each of tbe parties has made contra
dictory statements. Beechcr confessed
bis guilt to Moulton and to Tilton, and
subsequently denied it. Elizabeth
mado confossion at first, then a solemn
affidavit eonlradioting that confession,
and now reasserts Jicr first confession.
Which is true ? . Tho inducements to
cover up a crimo are plain enough ;
but what Inducements can there be tn
mako a false confession. It is said
that Mrs. Tilton'a mind is diseased hy
reason of her Bufferings. If this be so,
docs it mako her confession tho less
credible. Let it be remembered that
thia woman ha alway declared her
self to be religious; it was her religion
that brought her into acquaintance
with Beechcr ; it was her admiration
for him and his influonco ovor her
which first tubjocted ber to temptation.
Sho hf.s never ceased to be a member
of Plymouth Church in good ttanding.
Upon the hypothesis that her present
confession it true, ber whole history it
consistent. Thnt the hat Buffered un
bearable remorse, that her conscience
constantly urged her to confess her sin,
and drovo her nearly mad, is easy to
believe. That aho ahnuld desire relief
from tho weiirht of a hideous lio : and
that she should long to reveal her guilt
to tho world and throw bcrsclt upon
tho mercy of God, is an impulse that
has led to hy far the greater part of the
confessions that have boon mado. It is
no reply to this to say tbat she has
niaileundoroalh conllietingstatcmcnts.
For it wa tho making of those false
statements, tho tisBfto of falsehood In
which tbo lirod immcshod, that woro
the life out ol the grave. No woman
who will think of how much it must
havo oost this wretched being to con
fesa her crime can doubt its sincerity.
By it light all that was dark on the
trial becomes clear at day. Bcocber'i

in a boat to tho ocean bcacb. On re
turning the boat was struck by a squall
and capsized, and all were thrown in
to the bay. Bruce and tirimBtead were
unable to swim, as was also the son of
Mr. Strand. Tho former, bowovor,
succeeded in obtaining a bold on the

Strand went to the assistance of his

was drilling from him before the wind,

All maintained their position until tho
mast of tho boat became unstained by
tho action of the waves, when she turn

his hold was again washed Irom tho
boat, and tho father again went to bis
assistance and again securing him, en
deavored to reach the boat, but tho
galas had increased in strength and drill
ed tho boat rapidly from him. The ef
forts ot the parent to save bis boy are
described by the survivors as being al
most superhuman. Ho waa scon to
shift him from side tosido and to strug

waves. Both were seen to go down,
and tbe father alono came to tbo sur

out of the wator, tread it, as it were,
for some timo, endoavor to divest him
self ot li ib coot, and striko out for tho
receding boat Poworlessto help him,
Bruce and (irimstead could only look
on and see him meet his tato. 1 The
boat had drifted a mile from the unfor

to rise no more Tho boat drifted to
a small island in tbe bay, and assis

Bruco and (irimstead were taken to

H'MPtf THE DIFFERENCE f
Tho Abolition party abolished tho
property of tho people of ten States,
on the ground that the people had no
mint to bold that property, in tho
opinion of tho Abolitionists.
in tho Communists opinion all prop
erty is robbery, or theft, and thoy pro-
poeo to atioimn tbo property people
bold. ' ,
Now about tho differenco between
Abolition and Communism. The for
mer took arms to abolish tho property
It thought was not to be bold as prop-
orty. The Communist are willing to
taKo arms toauoiisn tne properly thoy
think ought not to bo ownod as prop,
crty. '
Urant fought nnder tbe Abolition
flag. Why can ho not fight nnder tbe
Bag ot tho CommnrrtBta ?
Tho Communist parly is now tho
heir-at-law ot the old Abolition party.
Why not make (irant ita trustee, as
ho was of tho A boli tion party ? What's
tbe difference 1 The Abolition party
