Clinoman has sketch ed one of the greatest, if not the great est danger which menaces the civil liberties of the people of this country. If the Democrats in the House are half as eager to preserve our liberties as are the masses, they will take up Gen. Clingman's. suggestion and put it through their House, at least, and throw the responsibility of its net be coming a law on the Republican Ben ate and the Republican President. Official interference in elections by money and corrupting agencies is an alarming and dangerous practice and should be stopped. Every school master and public teacher should de nounce it and endeavor to inculcate I. t" 1 ftT right views on tins subject, we cup the following from the Raleigh News- Observer.' Gen. Clingmau has addressed an open letter to Congress in which he directs public attention to one of the great abuses of the age. He adverts to the growing tendency of Federal officials to interfere with elections and he declares that tile evil instead of being checked is daily developing it self in a more aggravating form. This tendency of the meu in power to per petuate their regime, to exclude oth ers from participation in the patron age of office and to control the vast influence which 100,000 officials ex ert for the purpose of maintaining the administration, is one of the dangers that threaten to subvert the liberties of the people. When the administra tion is no longer the agency of the people, but becomes the ruler, perpet uating itself indefinitely by means of its patronage, then indeed, although the forms of free government may survive, the spirit will be dead and oligarchy will be entkroned over the people. Gen. blingman well says that "within a few years past the interfer ence of officers iu elections and their contributions of money have become so general that it is conceded that even the election of a President has been decided by these means, and in telligent gentlemen have expressed the opinion that hereafter none but rich men should be nominated by presi dential conventions. In fact we seem to be rapidly approaching a condition like thart of Koine in the days when the in. iierial crown was sold to the highest bidder." He demands that the evil shall be corrected, and he does not think it difficult. We quote : "During Mr. Jefferson's adminis tration tt is well known that he for bade his officers to interfere with pop ular elections, declaring that an ad ministration ought to stand before the country on its own merits, and that officials should confine their efforts to the public business.'5 "During Mr. Van Bnren s admin istration some of his subordinates did interfere in elections, and in the city of New York some of them even con tributed money.

WoodeU, Esq: Dear Sir : I concur with you in the propriety of North Carolina planters mak ing less cotton and snbetitating tobacco foe a part of their usual cotton crop. The world is fall of cotton, and the improve ment made in the East India staple makes the'product of toe country a strong com petitor against American cotton in the markets abroad, where the price for onr product ia regulated j while, as regards tobacco, stocks everywhere here and abroad are low and decreasing, while consumption is constantly increasing. Tobacco is high and will continued high till the production meets the demand for consumption, while cotton is low and will continue low as long as more is pro duced than tbe world can consume. It will take two full consecutive crops of tobacco an event that rarely occurs to stock the depleted markets; and the most reliable ones in the trade say that tobacco will sell well for years to come. Be that as it may, no one whose judg ment is respected, calculates upon low prices for the crop to be grown ia 1884. An acre of medium yellow tobacco, say 600 pounds at only 20 cents per pound many average over double that price will bring $120, while an acre of cotton grown upon the same land will produce about 250 pounds, which at 10 cents per pound, will be only 25. It is true that it costs more to raise an acre of tobacco than an acre of cotton, but no one whose opinion is worth a button will hazard the opinion, that the cost of raising tobacco is five times that of cotton : and yet the product of tbe former will command fiva times that of the latter very often ten times as much. I would advise those who intend plant ing tobacco who never raised it before not to attempt too much the first year. lo grow tobacco successfully requires barns properly constructed, with flues, &c. A good sweet filler may be cured on scaffolds in the sun and then hung in any house or shed on tbe premises to protect it from the rain. It will be well for beginners to plant some for "bright" and some for sweet "fillers," choosing some one or more of the yellow varieties for the former, and Mayo, Flanagan or Sweet Oronoko for the latter. These lat ter are not as readily cured bright yellow as those specially nsed for yellow goods, but they make tbe sweetest and best fill ers and smokers, so fur as intrinsic qual ity is concerned. But "brigbts" bold tbe front rank in prices and their production is well worth big efforts, for here succees brings big money. "There is a tide in the affairs of meu, which Taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." Tobacco has certainly come to tbe front us a money crop, and it. will hold the fort till production exceeds demaud as is now the case with cotton a thing not likely to occur for years to come. Then why not raise tobacco where a good arti cle can In- successfully grown, as is cer tainly true of thousands of acres iu North Carolina that ware in cotton last year without profit to the producer f Some of the wise heads will see the sit uation and mount the tide, others will voked the denunciation of such nrotn inent meu as Clay, Webster and oth-' ti,ink about H &nd aUmt the tiu,e t,u?jr ers. and the public indignation of the !

McCUDBINS, Sit. to issue, about the lid ot March, 1841, a proclamation declaring that partisan efforts for er against any po litical party or the contribution of money by officers of the government to influence the elections 'would be regarded as a cause for removal.' " The General s proposition is quite simple, and if adopted would be very effective: "Provide, by law, that any officer of the government who sanctions or knowingly permits any of his subor dinates to be called on to contribute money for what are called political purposes, shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and on conviction be impris oned for not less than two yean and fined at the discretion of the court. Secondly, provide that any officer of the government who contributes his money for such a purpose shall be held liable to indictment for a misde meanor and subject to fine or impris onment, and also liable to a civil suit for twenty times the amount given by him, one half of which may go to the informer, and the other to the public. Thirdly, let it be provided that any citizen who knowingly asks an officer for tnouey for such a purpose shall, as an accessory before the fact, be sub ject to the like punishment." mis remeoy u ineo wouiu proua- blv answer the purpose. But tbeu if Congress should pass it would not the President veto it 7 Would the lie publicans be willing to forego their campaign fund in this wise? We, however, commend the matter to the attention of the Democrats m Con ress. This scession will be used largely to"" make a political record, let the Democrats put the Republicans on record ou OTingiunn proposition so that his crop may be pitched iu time to properly develop and ripen to advan tage. The other fellow, starting lata, will get left. If "he is a benefactor who makes two blades of grass grow where only one grew before," what honor does he deserve who teaches planters to double and triple the income from their arduous labor ? In agriculture, the amount of profit is the measure of success ; and he who regulates his products by the demand, will have something to sell which tbe world wants at a price which will not fail of substantial remuneration. R. L. Kaglakd. Among the many curious analogies born of modern investigation, none are more interesting than those show ing striking cases of parallelism iu the habits and customs of animals whose environments are totally dis similar. The ocean bed seems peopled with forms so resembling those of land that a modification of structure to con form with their surroundings alone ap pears to be the point of difference. In drifting over tbe reefs of our southern border this resemblance between the creatures of land and sea is extremely striking. The gardens of the lower world abound in lavish growth ; trees, shrubs, waving vines, are all repro duced in the wondrous forms of the sea. Here a forest of coral branches (Madnepora) raise their myriad of bristling points, each flowered by a delicate polyp, and presenting a rich olive-green tint in contrast to the deep blue of the channel upon whose banks they grow. Pure as a crystal, the wa ter seems to intensify the beauty of the objects, even in the greater depths; gayly bedecked fishes move lazily about, rising and falling among the living branches, poising, perhaps, to pluck some raorsal from a limb, in all their motions reminding us of the birds of the shore. These gorgeous parrot-fishes are the sun-birds of the sea : wondrous tinls azure blue, gol den yellow, and red mark them. Some appear iridescent and bathed in metalic tints as if encased in burnish ed armors, while many more in mod est garb, found in our cooler waters of the North, call to mind the robin and the thrush, those welcome harbin gers of spring. But it is not iu their color alone that the fishes resemble the birds; it is in the home-life and love of offspring that we find a close resemblance. Many are nest-builders, erecting structures as complicated as those ot the birds and equaling them in design and finish. The Art of Finger Nails. Mr. Levy, the earn cutter, has been telling me about the beginning of his delicate art, which is now practiced so generally. He thought that the earliest modern chiropodist was a German who had practiced on the queen of England's corns about 1844; nevertheless I see that West ervelt ou upper Broadway announces that he began in 1840. Zachari start ed here before the war) and obtained celebrity by cutting Mr. Lincoln's corns. Another generation has come up paying special attention of the feet and reading all that ean be of forded on the subject. One of the best known chiropodists here began, it is said, doctoring the hoofs of horses, and he observed in time that meu needed quite as much repair of the feet. There are several women in this business, and of late years its profits have been much extended by manicure, which brings dollars iu place of dimes. Women are often in love wth ther own hands, aud I have known cases where a lady has had her hand mod led and carved by a sculptor and kept on her center table. Few men however, think fingers are improved in appearance by being sharpened and whitened like talous of a hawk. It is however, a pleasant, listless way of spending an hour or two every day, to go to the manicure. N. Y. Tribune. Pulled From His Den. A correspondent of Forest and Stream relates how a boy named Ly nch in New Brunswick once hauled a live bear with a yoke of steers. He says : Mr. Lynch was drawing logs on a single bob-sled , an affai r consisting of two runners, with one strongly brac ed bench or "bunk." He noticed a hole near the base of a stump, around which the snow was melting and be stopped bis steers to "prospect." He found that the cavity beneath contain ed a bear, and was large enough for him to move around quite free) v. Lynch enlarged the entrance and stirred Brain up, but all attempts to inn ict a mortal wound with his axe were futile. Be thought that bis chances would be better if he could get the bear out. Taking his "tow chain, one end of which was fast to his bunk, he slipped the double of his chain back through a rinsr on the other end, and made a noose, which he dropped over Bruin's head. He then gave the steers the haulaway word. They brought the bear to the surface, but becoming frightened at the sight of the bear at the other end of the line, they broke for tbe camp in the wildest sort of a ran, Lynch following as fast as he could. The bear, forgetting that the steers, besides outnumbering him, had him at a decid ed disadvantage, would "set down the foot of his power" to stop the cattle, only to be dragged off bis feet and be convinced that he was a very poor an chor. The steers reached tbe camp and rushed into the stable. They broke loose from the sled when it wedged into the doorway, and left Drain picketed to the bunk. Lynch A confirmed old bachelor was out at a social gathering the other even ing, where he was so unfortunate as to become seated behind a party of vivacious young ladies. Conversa tion tamed unon athletic , -j red : your favorite exercise T "Ob, I have no prefer ence; but just at present I should prefer dumb belles," was his rather curt reply. mi ucu upuu UlllieilC SUDJI when one pert young miss inquii "Mr. Brown, what is your favc crew. summoned the rest of the lashing the bear to the bnnk him to the settlement alive. and took As early as the time of Alexander 1 1, of Scotland a man who let weeds go to seed on the farm was declared to be the king's enemy. In Denmark farm ers are compelled to destroy all weeds oa their premises. In France a man may prosecute his neighbor who per mits weeds to go to seed which may endanger neighboring lands. Wise Words. Frugality provide an easy chair for old age. Man must become wise by his own experience. Enjoy what you have ; strive for w hat you lack. The truest end of life is to know the life that never ends. Good will, like good name, is got by many actions, and lost by one. Sincerity is tho way to heaven. To think how to be sin sere is the way of man. A man being asked bow old he was, replied, "I am in health ;" and being asked how rich he was, said, "I am not in debt." Christian Missions in Turkey. It is astonishing how much atten tion is and has for generations past been paid in Turkey by the Chris tian churches of the West. The Uni ted States have vied with Great Britian iu this particular, and there are no more prosperous missions either in European Turkey or in Asia Minor than those which bear the American name. The following figures will probably beget something like surprise in the minds of many readers. There are in the Turkish Km pi re, as is gathered from recently published statistics, thirty central mission stations, five colleges for giv ing ordinary education and others for theological purposes; 121 churches 400 preaching stations, 900 pastors, teachers and other Christian workers; 60,000 regular attendants at their places of worship, of whom 10,000 are communicants. This is a very respectable exhibit. But what are these among so many ? The popula Who will now say that there is nothing new under the sun ? Where is that man Solomon who made that observation? The Washington -Star of Tuesday evening, a Republican paper, contains this item: "Alter the adjournment of the Senate yesterday, Mr. Mahoue retired to his committee room ana remained mere uuiii mo Senate chamber was deserted by all except the employees, who were clean ing up. He went into the chamber and vigorously rehearsed his speech of to-day to an imaginary audience, ills ardent declamatieu after awnile at tracted the policemen and ot tiers on duty iu the building. He seems to have over exerted himself, for he was suddenly overcome with a fainting spell. He was carried to his com mittee room and restoratives employ ed, but it was several hours before he was able to go home." Good heav ings ! How are the mighty fallen 1 A Senator rehearsing his speech in the Senate chamber. Brooks as Sewers. The Sanitary Engineer says : When A 1 A a naiurai watercourse traverses a town, and its banks become built upon, the easiest way of getting rid of filth and house wastes is to throw them into the stream. Every man's instinctive impulse is to get rid of what annoys him, and not mind how his neighbor will be affected. After a while, when the water course has become sufficiently nasty, the people come to a realizing sense ef what they have brought upon themselves and tbeu try to devise a remedy. In this they begin usually at the wrong end. They look ou the stream as crea ting the nuisance, and don't consider that it is their abuse of the stream that is the source of the trouble. So they go to work aud cover the stream up, and call it a sewer. What is the result? Simply that the stench of the foul matter in the old channel is bottled up somewhat, to be vented through every manhole, every inlet aad very house drain, and probably do more real injury than when the rotting tilth was exposed to the air and the sun, and diffused its aroma through the whole atmosphere. The channel of a small natural stream through a town or village ought never to be converted into a sewer for house wastes. I his will strike a good many people as an odd doctrine, but still iT is sound doc trine. I he functions of a natural stream and of a sewer are so diverse that one cannot be made to do duty for the other. and ex- Tb follnwmor comes bv cable and if true, speaks badly for the eulight enment of Spain. And yet any one who has seen the lower classes of Spaniards, iu their little, narrow; con tracted streets, may easily believe that they have very contracted views and subject to violent prejudices. The item reads: "The small city of Asto ga, in Spain, was the scene Tuesday of a religious commotion.
