THE

Republican majority in Mississip

TIIEKE

is no longer any doubt that the

Radical candidate for Governor,

DAVIS,

is elected in Texas, and a strongly (Radical Legislature. It is also probable that both the .Congressmen elected are Repub licans.

REPRESENTATIVES

of the Labor party

are at work among Congressmen for a law providing that all laborers employed by the Government, either directly or through contractors, shall be required to work but eight hours.

HORACE GEEELEY

dosn't like the rep

utation of a "swearist" and has, tlierer fore, written a letterto the New York Sun,

denying that he swore in his recent interview with a reporter of that paper.

THE

books of the late

RICHARD

SON have reached an extraordinary sale. Of 'SSeld, Dungeon and Escape," 98,000 copies have been sold of "Personal History of U. S.

GRANT"

22,700 and of "Be

yond the Mississippi" 100,000. They are still Belling at the rate of 2,00J to 3,000 per month.

THE

Paris

Figaro

publishes the follow

ing item: "In one of the cemeteries of*| New York may be seen a tomb-stone with the inscription: 'Here lies V. IT. 8., who killed himself with a Col.'s revolver of the ancient pattern, the best instrument for this purpose.' It is said that the firm engaged in the manufacture of these weapons pays a large sum annually fo the widow for this epitaph."

TRECENT DEVELOPMENTS

it. An Euglhli steamer, built expressly for the navigation of the new channel, grounded on attempting to steam througl and half her cargo had to be discharged before she would float. This is certainly inconvenient and costly, and will go far to convince the commercial world that the grand opening of the canal was premature. Time and a liberal application of dreding machines will render the canal what it was intended to be, a great adjunct to com' inerce. In its present incomplete condi tion it is a hindrance rather than an aid and convinience.

THE

New York

Time*

TUE

heartily com

mends a bill iutroduced into the House by Mr. THAYER

which proposes to amend

the Homestead laws so as to require the planting of trees on homestead settlements. There can be no doubt that the efi'ect of such a measure would be to'bencfit the country immensely in the course of a few generation*. In districts where timber is scarce wo should be laying up wealth for posterity, at small coit or trouble to ourselves, by planting trees—to say nothing of the shelter which, would be afforded for cattle, and the picturesqueness which would be added to ev.ery landscape. The last point may seem of small account, but most people prefer to have their houses pleasantly situated, and nothing improves a homestead more than trees.' We do not know in what way Mr. THAYER

would carry out his plan, but it

is at any rate worth inquiring into.

ACCORDANCE with our custom of giving both sides a fair chance for a hearing on every question discussed in our columns, we print, to-day, a communication- from a Catholic' layman in reply to the action of the State Christian Convention concerning the church of which he is a member. It is not mprovable that a dozen pencils may be sharpened simultaneously for a reply to this communication, but we cannot print more than on reply thereto, and that one must not be too long. Religious controversies are not the most profitable reading, nor is there a general desire for them among our readers. And we wish to say further that we will not, hereafter, accept any communication, or contribution that is not legibly written. Our compositors have been to severely afflicted with manuscript that has taxed their patience almost beyond endurance.

editor of the Chicago

Repnblican

knowledges, rather ungratefully, the almost dailyreceipt of somebody's "plan for a return to specie payments" with a request to "publish, and comment thereon, "and takes occasion to remind tho.-e currency doctors, one and all, that they would keep their "plans" to themselves until some necessity in the case calls them out, they would save ink and trouble. We agree with our'Chicago cotemporarv that, however desirable it may be to get to the "hard pan" at the earliest moment con sistent with the safety and prosperity of the business interests oftlie country, yet we want no "plan" for the accomplishment of that end. The country, remarks the Republican

is well enough off, as it is,

so far as circulating medium is concerned. Our greenbacks are as good as gold, SQ foras their purchasing power extends, and are gradually and surely approximating to an equality in purchasing power .with gold.

If the currency tinkers in Congress and out will let our circulating medium alone the country will be a hundred per cent better off than in the state of uncertainty created bv these numberless "plans" for remodeling things that don't need any remodeling. Let Congress sec to raising sufficient revenue to meet the requirements of the Government, administered on the most economical system, do awav with all superfluous taxation, fund the debt at as low rates of interests as possible, and leave the natural laws and the productive industry of the country to work out the problem of specie resumption.

IS not common for doomed men to "faint away" just before tliev are hanged, hut this is what William C.'Bell did on the scafi'oM at Alton, 111., on the 12tli ult. In yost eases, a inan thus sinking into insensibility before his time would have been fanned and heartshorned into life ajjain, and then have been put to death with all the terror and dignitv of the law But the hangman at Alton "appears to have been of a mild and considerate nature for he hastened to finish of!"Bell before lie could return to consciousness so that in seven minutes lie was dead, and in twenty-five minutes he was in his' coffin. Of course this hasty way of doin" things deprived the company of a nea£ theological speech from a dying sinner but, upon the whole, the deprivation was, perhaps, no great loss.—N. x. Tribum.

SEVERAL

Mormon apostles are now try

ing to evangelize the United States.— They have been holding meetings in Philadelphia. One of them stated that President Young declared that "the people of the United States do not deserve one single sermon more," bnt he had graciously concluded to make them one more offer of salvation. One of them stated that there was not a grogshop, a house of prostituton, nor bil-liard-saloonin Utah. He also stated (he solemn fact that the men marry not for lust, but in obedience to the will of God. These apostles, however, expect very little success, because the almighty dollar is "all the go," and the people are given over to their idol.—Cin.

Chi

and the correspondents painted

the Possesor of the Model rl or the Period—A Remarkable Surgical Operation.

From the Chicago Tribune.] It has been reserved for Chicago to produce one of the most remarkable young ladies of the age—a yeritable heroine, the Model Girl of the Period.

There lives on Wabash avenue, in a home of highly respectable exterior, a young lady, the pride of her mother and the joy of her papa. »She is, or rather she was, in every respect, an atractive, graceful, and accomplished girl and so thought young Mr. to whom she is engaged, and who, looking at her with the eye of a lover, could see, of course, no blemish in her.

Yet there

was

one little defect, one

small imperfection, which was said to mar symmetry of her otherwise perfect form. Nature had give her a pair of wonderfully small feet, but although in length they were all that a Chinese beauty might hare adored, they were Just a little too broad in proportion to their size. But for this little oversight of Nature they would have been the most ravishin pair of little feet that ever "twinkled beneath a "petticoat." The young lady often sighed as the boot male took the measure of them, and thought how she might have dazzled the world, and her adorer partially, had Nature been a little less liberal. In short, her feet gave her no re3t by night or day. She was about to be married, and, in view of that event, she resolved to make a double sacrifice.

A few months ago she visited an eminent surgeon of this city, and made a proposal which caused the practitioner to shudder. lie at once declined to accede to her strange request and then the matter dropped for a time. More recently the young lady renewed her proposition, expressing her firm determination to have it carried out, and so persistently did she cling to her resolution that the doctor was at last prevailed upon to comply with her wish. This was nothing less than the amputation of the small too of each foot, which would reduce the member to a size exactly proportioned to its length. The operation was orfe demanding the nicest skill on the part of the surgeon, and a few days since was successfully performed, with the consent of the young lady's relatives and friends. The obnoxious toes have been extracted just like teeth, leaving the feet somewhat disfigured for a time, but suited to fit into the smallest, daintiest little foot that cart be fashioned. The young martyr is now in bed, waiting patiently for the wound to heal. The operation has cast her a perhaps, but only think what she as gained (what she has lost) by it! Two small fantastic toes! Many a victor has lived long, honored and happy, with one foot in the grave. This courageous little heroine has achieved a victory which the fashionable world will delight to honor, and she can now walk abroad in muddy weather without trailing her skirts.— Doubt less she is aching for the next evening party, where her little foot will be exhibited as a triumph of art over nature. The young lady has Iboldly put into practice the Scriptural precept, "If thy small toe offend thee, cut it off."

Pay Up.

From tho St Louis Domocrdt] "Times are hard" are they? Make them easier then! Pay up! "How will that make times easire for me?"

Very simply it will enable other people to pay tneir debts. There is just so much money in this Western country, and every payment just puts so much more of it afloat to cancel a thousands of debts before January comes. Stop locking up your money, and "shell out" liberallyand debts all around will get paid with miraculous rapidity. The other day, for a single intence, one fiity dollar bill was paid out which came back to the payer the next day. He had a curiosity to trace it, and found that it had paid or helped to pay tbirty-one debts in about twenty-four hours. Suppose a thousand men in St. Louis should start out on Monday morning to pay all the debts they conld that day—how many millions would change hands before the week ended?

The trouble is not that the Western country is bankrupt—it is not—but that everybody is a little bit afraid, and holding on for the first of January to come, paying until then as little aa possible. Now wlion everybody wait8, nobody can pay. Some men will get hurt in that way. Particularly those who have large sums due them. If you want to collect money due you,pay your own debts and persuade your neighbor to do the same. Then the money will go dancing from hand to hand, making everybody easier as it goes and as everybody feels easier, he also, begins to pay'up." It is like the' leaking of water through a rat-hole in a dam it dosen't amount to anvthing, tjut it sweeps away the whole dam after a little. Just now payments are'dammed up, everybody waiting for everybody else. Now let us each bore a rathole through that dam, and sweep it awav before the first of January!

If everybody would pay what he could we believe this temporary stringency would rnd without any disaster to anybody. The West has not been losing money. With large corps, though prices arc low, the amount realized is more than expenses in the aggregate. Some have lost, but not enough to hurt, if evervbody would pay up all around. The quicker the better, for business pauses while men

with, "Papa, give me a cent before you go away." The request of the child was heard by the newlv-made wife, and for a moment she looked very queer at her husband. The latter was also somewhat confused at the peculiar fix which he was in, but managed to say to the child, "Go away, not your father." The little fellow, however asserted that such was the case, and stontly insisted on being presented with« penny. Again the wife looked 'queerly at her husband, and had it not been for
