TO MY MOTHER. .„
The following llnea are tonchingly heanti-fnl.
Wc have aeen nothing of late that has
ao moved oor sympathy. The man who can
write auch poetry, who baa anch thougtts,
cannot be utterly depraved. The curee of
intemperance, with it* attending downward
influence, baa hern done iU work, ami a, apir-it
noble and generous, that might and ahould
be the pride and ornament of the social cir-cle,
is now the degraded convict in the walls
of a penitentiary. How wi that fond
mothers heart bleed if abe shall bear of her
darling boy the inmate of a prison in a foreign
land ?—IllUlcal lieamter.
V\e wandei-dfar frpm thee, mother,
Far from my hanpy home;
I've left fee 'and tbat gave mc blrtb,
In other climes to roam ;
And time, since then, hasroll'd its years
And mark'd them on my brow;
Yet, I have ofUu thought of thee—
I'm thinking of thee now.
I'm thinking on the day, mother,
When, at tby tender side,
Tod watoh'd tho dawning of my yonth,
And kiss'd me iu your pride:
Then brightly was my heart lit np
With hope* of future joy,
While your bright fancy honors wove
To deck thy darling boy.
I'm thiuking of the day, mother,
When, with such anxious care,
Y'ou lifted up your heart to Heaven—
Your hope, your trust was there ;
Fond memory brings thy parting words,
While tears roll'd down your choek ;
Thy long, last, loving look told moro
Than ever word* could speak.
I'm far away from thec, mother;
Ho friend is near me now,
To soothe mo with a tender word
Or cool my burning brow ;
The dearest tics affection wove
Arc all now torn from mo ;
They left me when the trouble came;
They did not love like thee.
I'm lonely and forankaa now, mother;
Unpitied and uiiblcsl :
Yet Mill I would not have the know
How sorely I'm distressed.
I know you would not chide, mother,
Y'ou would not give me blame;
But sooihe me with your tender wolds,
And bid me hope again.
I would not have thee know, mother,
How brightest hopes decay ;
The toiapter with hi* balefnl cup
Has dashed them all away ;
And shame has left its venom sting,
Tg rack with anguish wild--
Yet still I would not have thee know
Toe sorrow* of thy child.
Oh! I have wandord f»r, mother,
Since I deserted thee,
And left thy trusting heart to break.
Beyond the deep bios lea.
Ob ! mother, still I lore thee well,
And long to hear (bee speak,
And feel •gain tby balmy breatli
r pon my cure worn obeek.
But, ah ! there is a thought, mother,
Pervade* my beating breast,
That thy freed spirit may have flown
To its eternal rest;
And while I wine the tears away,
There whispers in my ear
A voice, that speaks of Heaven ami thee,
And bids ine seek thee ilierc.
That Mate.—Mr. Theodore Tilton,
si rampant, fanatical radical, in his pa
per, the "Golden Age," thus conclude*
an able article upon the senatorial tie
bate regarding the ualo of arms to
France.
"This is not merely a war of words
between men who look on words as
wind. Word*, arc things, sometimes
and this is one of the occasions in
arnica words are (barged with all the
significance Of acts. The Adiniiiistra
tion has been and is on trial in the Senate
chamber and before the nation ; and so
far the trial has resulted disastrously
to its cause. It stands onvietedofa
grave dereliction of duty, a wanton
departure from both the letter and the
spirit of the law, a suspicious compli-city
with the speculating agent of a
foreign Government, and acts unfriend
ly to a nation with whom we were at
IK'itce. But it is not merely this, it is
the next Presidency which is the issue
at stake, and this senatorial debate is
the first battle of the campaign. The
defeat of the Administration on the
floor of the Senate will go far towiud
determining who will not be the next
President,
Innocent Simplicity.—Mr. Hale,
Chainnau of the. iN'aval Committee in
the House, having informed the coun-try
that a great many C. S. vessels
had disappeared, aud that it was in-possible
for him or the proper autbori
ties to find them, or to find what bad
become of them,the New York Herald,
with an air ol wonderful simplicity,
BSkS : "How can a ship-of-wnr of
this Government disappear, and no-body
know what has become of it, or
not know how it disappeared V Why,
man, they were generally sold, and the
money partly pocketed by some cue
and partly pot into the Treasury. The
vessels not sold were jobs. Some are
rotteu, and some were worthless from
the start.
There are in North Carolina, says
I be Raleigh Kent, two hundred and
twenty one Lodges that are at work—
with an active membership of 8,414.—
I Taking into account returns not re-j
ceived at the last meeting of the Grand
I Lodge and nonafhliating Masons, the
whole number of Slasons iu the Stale
amount to 11,158. There were initiated
during the Masonic year of 1871,628,
showing a rapid increase of the otder :
aud 131 deaths.
The African Diamond Fields—
Garnets Lying Around Loose —
Valuation ol Diamonds—What
a boy Found.
Correspondence of the N. Y. Eeveniug Post.
It is rather amusing to us in the dia-mond
regions of South Africa to read
tho accounts in the American papers
of the diamond country. Most writers
on this subject in American newspa-pers
have either heard or dreamed ol
what they tell.
The stones found here have long
been known to some merchants, who
espied them shining on the bodies of
naked savages, and ascertaining where
they fountl them, monopolized the
trade, until one unlucky day a white
child I..itml one of the stones, and the
news suddenly burst upon the world.
The place where diamonds are found
is a large district of country belong-ing
to Dutch Boer farmers and native
tribes. The "diamond-growing" coun-try
is ascertained by the existence of
great quantities of garnets on the sur-face,
which are thrown away,allhough
iu civilized lands garnets are used iu
jewelry. These beautiful large stones
are thrown alx ut as worthless. Find
garnets and you will find diamonds.—
The diamond region extends many
miles in various directions, and new
fields are being constantly discovered.
In one region, however, on the Vaal
river, the diamond seekers have con-gregated
and have built cities of tents,
which are gradually giving place to
houses. Shops arc numerous; cloth
ing nuil provisions cheap. Water in
some places has been scarce, but there
are wells digging from which water
can be drawn at the rate of six
pence (English money) a bucket, paid
to the company who dug the well.—
F.ven tor the oxen water must be
bought.
At first the largest companies ot
diggers were ut a place on the Vaal
river, and there, of conrse, water was
plenty. The gravel was carried to tin
river to be washed, ainl the diamonds
washed out from among the stones.—
The pebbles, by the way, are beanti
ful, each one peculiar to itselt. Thej
are set iu pencils and seal rings. Al
present the fields on the river arc near-ly
abandoned, the inns; |Mipolar place
being a tl.it called "Du Toil's Pan,"
where the diamonds are sept rated b>
sieves and sorted on tables, iiisii-.nl i.l
being washed out, as on the river.—
There are collected thousands of pen
pie, who live in tents and spend tlieii
days digging in the earth. About t *T0
miles away is De Leer's Farm, which
is now n rival in size and richness to
"DM Toil's Pan."
The land is divided into small plots,
or "lots," as we would say iu America.
The Boers say erven and the digger*
say ili'.imx. Each claim is about fif-teen
feet square. Originally two pounds
would buy a claim, but now the juice
has risen to five hundred pounds.—
When a man works well the allowance
is about one white man and three
blacks to each claim. Some dig; some
sift and sort the stones for diamonds.
These arc found of all sizes, from those
as large as a pill's head up to some lar
ger than the Koh-i-noor. .Some dia-monds
are clear and brilliant, someare
opaque, and some yellowish. For tin-latter
the people of India give a good
price, and wear them iu their belts and
turbans. These yellow, or "off-color,"
stones do dot sell well in the markets
of civilized nations. Sometimes OIM
sees black diamonds. Some of them
are beautifully regular, as if cut: Oth-ers
seemed to be fragments, as it bro-ken
from large stones: aud others are
round. At DcLccr's place some per-sons
find stones every dayy even as
many as a dozen iu a day, and soon
become rich if they happen to find
stones dear and without flaws. Many.
however, have found nothing, aud go
away poorer than they came.
The value of diamonds is ascertain
ed on the fields iu the following man
net : The weight of a good stone is
squared and iiiultipled by two, the re-sult
being its value iu pounds sterling.
For instance, if a stone weighs foul
carats we have: 4x4-10: 16x2 •'!:.'; val-ue
of the stone, £32. If, therefore, a
man has a good stone, aud has its
weight, he knows just what it is worth.
Diamonds cannot be cut here, of
course; most of them are taken to
Holland. Brokers are lure, of course,
to deal in diamonds, llogues are here
to knock one down and rob him, aud
other login's lo rob him without knock-ing
him down. Still, as a w hole, the
place is orderly and respectable.
The people conic here by way ol
Cape Town or Natal, generally, in wa-gons
drawn by oxen. They liveiu ihe
wagons aud iu tents, aud hire natives
at about £1 a month to work for them.
The camp is at a little distance from
the field. Employers aud employed
spend the day in digging, ea-.tiug, &c.,
going back to their tents at sunset.—
The smaller diamonds are, as a ride
found near the surface; the hjrgei
oues below. A miner digs down alum
forty feet, not often deeper. Accidents
are becoming rather common by the
walls of these claims after they have
been dug that depth. The route to
the place is by steamer to England.
thence by steamer to AlgoaBay, and
by ''omnibus" to the diggings. If
Americans but knew how easy of ac-cess
the place is, and what a chance
tuere is to make money, they would
come in throngs; and lor those who
have money it is a tempting place for
speculation. There are marvellous
(and true) tales of poormen, who came
on foot, with nothing but a spade,
turning up a stone or stones worth
walked a thonsand miles to get to th
field: in a week hesent his old mothe
a check for a thousand pounds, was
favored by fortune, aud has since gone
home rich.
I like to tell of these things, because
the idea seems to prevail iu America )
that it is all a hoax, tod that even if
diamonds are found they are worth-1
less. Of course.it is policy in English- j
men to keep Americans away, aud, as:
far as possible, make them believe "it
is naught." They know they have a
poor chance with the Yankee work-!
men, aud so wish them to believe that!
it is all a " humbug." It is difficult to
seud our diamonds koine because of
the high duty imposed by the Ameri-can
Government, ami the stones can-not
lie cut in America. Still, if the
Americans knew the true circum-stance's,
they would not lose the chance
to try their fortunes in these "diggius."
A YANKEE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Difference Between Radical and
Demooratlc Rule.
We have been kindly furnished by
Capt.Sam'l A.Asue,who was a member
of the last Legislature with the follow-ing
valuable table, showing the differ
ence between Radical and Democratic
rule in North Carolina. The table may
be relied on as strictly correct in every
particulars it has been carefully pre-pared
by Capt. Ashe from the records.
The statement will be useful as a cam-paign
document,and we would suggest
to our friends to cut it out and file it
away for future use. It will be seen
that according to Cant Ashe's figures,
the Democratic Legislature during the
years 1871-'72, saved to the State the
sum of four hundred and twenty six
thousand, five hundred and flftv two
dollars and eighty-eight cents,com|>ar-ed
with the expenses of the Radical
Legislature of 18G9-'70:
A GLOOMY ACODOBT FROM TOE
MEXICAN IIOUDEK.-A gentleman writ- j
ing from the Mexican bolder to a gov-ernment
official in this city gives quite
a gloomy account of affairs in that re-1
gion of country. He states, in effect
that to-day may be seen floating the I
Hag of the revolutionists, and huzzas, ]
loud and long, may lie. heard for Diaz
and his followers. To morrow Jaurcz
is engaged in pulling down the flaunt- j
ing lie, and the revolutionists are fran-tically
fleeing before the government
forces only to return noxt day and re
peat their acts of violence and villiany
with greater vigor. The necessities of
the contending parties cause them to
be unpleasant and unprofitable visitors
and their presence iu Arizona natural-ly
brings traffic to a standstill. Roam-ing
bands of Mexicans over the coun-try,
stealing horses, cuttle, sheep, and
provisions,and capturing loaded trains
of cars, which they rui off to Mexico,
and iu some instance! they commit;
murder.
The writer states that it is feared the j
Mexican people do not take the re |
quired means to stop these raids, and
that there is a probability that the |
people of Arizona will take the matter (
into their own bunds. In addition to j
all (his, the writer continues, Collyer's
if/tigiuusly-inciiued pets, the Apaches,!
are again on the war-natli and ihdul-,
gingiu the innocent pastime of piling- j
ing. plundering aud raising scalps.
The crops are almost a failure this
year, the supply being much less than
the demand. Merchants who havede- |
■tended on receiving their supplies from j
Mexico now fail to obtain them, and j
starvation stares many ol the poorer
classes is the face. This, iu addition j
to the scarcity of money, Induces I
many to withdraw from Arizona and |
a general dearth of business there is
ihe result.— Wathingtm Chronicle.

The "HealAc* Chinee" an a Poker
Player.—The Lot Anatlos Xcir* copies
ihe following from the Territorial En-terprise
ol February MRU :
Night before last some of our
young bloods who were down in China-lown
viewing the barbarous festivities
of the "heathen Chinee" on the occas-ion
ol his New Year, happened into an
establishment where sumo of the men
were engaged in playing cards. They
soon discovered, much to their sur-prise,
that the game was nothing more
nor less than American draw-poker.—
Alter soipe jokes in regard to William
N'ye, F.sq , and his celestial opponent,
Ah Sin, I wo of the boy s aked if they
could come into the game. The Chi-nese
were quite willing to accommo-date
them, and down they sat. Soon
• •lie of the Melican men lost $8 and the
otlipr 815, trying to come the bluff.—
This would notdo.audthey played more
cautiously : yet the, Celestial would
■■call" them with the Utmost confidence.
Ill beta of 85, $2,50, and soon, their
coin was rapidly passing over to the
enemy. They tried one or two of their
sharpest tricks, and, as the "Johns''
seemed to see nothing, were under the
impression they bad succeeded, until
the Celestial coolv raked in the coin
and pointed out the fact that the little
deei piion was lacking iu smoothness.
Having expended between 840 and 8"»<)
in the vain endeavor to ascertain the
exact extent of the Celestial compre-hension
of our great rational game,
the hoys concluded they would "Ah
Sin" no more.
As they withdrew, one of their oppo-nents,
with a ".smile that was child-like
and bland." said, "Spose you next
time like play more pokee, you come
see me." The Chinese are a gambling
nation ; they have studied all manner
of games for thousands of years, and
they doubtless see through our simple
card game at a glance, and chuckle
at the simplicity of what wc consider
the deepest ot strategy.
The increase ot «7,<>00 for Institu-tion
Deal and Dumb aud the liliud is
for necessary improvements.
The decrease of $55,000 on Peniten-tiary,
is because work on the Institu-tion
has been stopped.
The decrease in tBb expenses of the
State government leaving out the pub-lic
charities,is $420,552.88 in two years.
The expenses of the government in
1872 will be $182,000 against 8427,700
in I860 aud $475,400 in 1870.—Uahi.jh

To DESTROY THE CUCCMBEB BUO.
A correspondent of the Maryland Far
mer says :
The following effectually protected
my melon, squash, cucumber and oth-er
vines from the "stripped or cucum-ber
bug,'' the past season, with only
one application, viz; a strong solu-tion
of lieu house manure to one and
it half gallons of water, let it stand
twentv-four hours and sprinkle the
the plants freely with it atter sunset.
The above was suggested to me by a
negro woman living on my place, who
has some practical experience in gar-dening,
and says she has need i
years
Practical Radicalism.
It appears by the sworn testimonv
of Col. K..Pulliam, that Rev.G.W.Wei-ker
received from Littlefield while
Welker was a member of the Radical
Legislature, and the great frauds were
being perpettated on the State and
people,twenty shares of stock in "the
North Carol iua Hail Road Coin pan v "
—that Littlefield paid Pulliam five
hundred dollars for tho shares lor Mr.
Welker.
It furthermore appears that this Mr.
Welker was a director of tho Peniten
tiary. nuder the Radical Legislature,
and while he was such, he and others
Jet the contract to build the Peniten
tiary buildings to Ohio meu at the
highest instend Of the lowest price,
while native North Carolina median
lea proposed to do the work for a less
pi ice.
It further appears that Gov. Cald
well Came to the conclusion a few days
ago, that he ought to turn the present
Hoard of Penitentiary Directors out,
and put iu his own appointees, ami
the chief among his appointees is this
same Mr.Welker—he is appointed and
made chairman of the Board, at that,
over Gen.Doekery; and what is more.
without any shadow of authority, Uij*
same Mr.Welker,with the express sano
tiou of Gov.Caldwell, has drawn from
the Treasury $5,000!
Now these facts appear by the re-cord.
We submit to the people wheth-er
this la not practical radicalism f —
And who is surprised at it, » hen it is
remembered that Gov. Oaldwell has
been one of the leading Radicals in this
State, and that he presided over the
Radical Senate while nil the stupen-dous
"Haihoad" and "special tax bond
frauds" were perpetrated upon the
Stale, and he did not open his mouth
in opposition to that villiany and
crime ' Nobody is surprised ! And no
body is surprised that he is to be the
next Radical candidate lor Governor !
He is eminently fit and qualified for
the nomination. He will be nominated
and deserves to be ! Hurrah lor prac-tical
Radicalism! And hurrah for
Oaldwell I Hurrah for Reverend! GAY.
Welker! Hurrah for Radicalism! Do
the people see! Will they tolerate

Judge Davis and the Presidency
The Platform of the -Vfir Candidate.
A Semi Official Utterance.
WASHiNQTON,March 20.-The friends
of Judge Davis authorize the publica-tion
of the following statements:
The Judge accepted the Columbus
nomination in a telegraphic dispatch,
which has been widely published ; and
he has held uo other correspondence
on that subject,either public or private.
He has not sougbt,directly or Indirect-ly,
by any agency whatever, and will
not seek,I he nomination of any conven-tion
for the Presidency,and he declines
to enter into any political correspond-ence
or arrangements concerning a
noiuinatioii.deeuiing such a course in
consistent with the proprieties of his
present judicial trust.
His position is plainly this :
If the people who seek to bring about
a reform in the government,w ho favor
amnesty for political offences.a cordial
restoration of the Union in all its in-tegrity
,the supremacy of the civil over
military power, the upright enforco-ment.
hostility to centralization.and in-tegrity
in the administration of affairs,
desire him to represent them as a can-didate
for the Presidency, he will ac-cept
that honor, because these princi-ples
accord entirely with his convic-tions.
Xorlh Carolina Senator.—The friends
of General Abbott now seems to have
discovered another phase in this case,
and assert very positively that if the
cutest iu the Senate does not result
in the seating of Abbott, the seat will
be declared vacant, for it is chinned.
notwithstanding the fact that General
Hanson now holds a certificate ol elec-tion
from Ihe Governor of North Caro-
. Una, the senate of the United States
i will not accept Ransom's credentials
on the ground, as they say, that the
Senate has not declared a vacancy.and
tbat Ransom should not have been elec-ted
; in other words bo has no claim,
and the Senate will so treat the case.
This, they claiui,will lie clearly .shown
during the debate next week.
On the other hand, it is argued that
the Senate had no authority to declare
the seat vacant ; that this vacancy
was by operation of tho Constitution
aud the law, and it was for the Lcgis-
'lature of North Carolina to take note
'of the vacancy, without reference to
1 what might hare been or may be done
j by the United States Senate.—Balti-

Lucky "linliiclcy John"—On the 38th
November, 1870 (says the Chicago
iV.ii'*).lasou McCiird,a wealthy gentle
man of Chicago, departed tins life.—
before bis death he made no will, and
it was left for the courts tossy who
should inherit his riches. An apprais-al
of his real and personal property
showed that he had died worth upward
of $800,000. Costly buildings iu tho
southern and western parr, ol the city ;
blocks of city land and acres of county
farms: railway, insurance, and bank
shares; live slock and steam boats
were scheduled ton vast amount, while
those who made out the schedule wish-ed
they were his next ol kin.
Outside of Chicago, some eighteen
miles or more, there has lived fin
many years si poor, hard-working
tanner named John McCord. Despite
his toiling and his constant tilling ol
the soil, "Unlucky John," as his neigh
ben called him, grew poorer and poor
er iis he grew old ia years. The only
thing in which he prospered was in the
raising of a large family. Horses and
cattle and hogs sickened and died, but
children to the number of ten lusty
boys and girls were born beneath
their father's unlucky star. When the
hoys were big enough they too work
ed on tho farm—only it was hard
to raise enough for so many.
A lew weeks since the coin I decided
that John McCord, brother of the de-ceascd.
anil his only living relative,was
heir to all bis possessions. And the
fanner, who is no more "Uuluckj
John," but "Lucky Mister McCord,"
is often seen, dressed in a line suit of
clothespin the county clerk's office,wait-ing
until the last entry is made iu the
title books, to take lull possession.

DOOLITTLE ON DAVIS.—Ex-Senator
Doolittle is making siieeches for the
Democrats in Connecticut, and takes
ground strongly in favor of a combi-nation
of all the elements of opposi-tion
to President Grant. After speak-ing
of Gov. Gralz Brown, of Missouri,
he alludes to Judge Davis as follows :
"So I am equally familiar with
Judge Davis—an early western settler,
of large bead and heart, aud Judge in
Illinois; the friend of Lincoln, the ex-ecutor
of his will, and who had his en-tire
confidence. He is esteemed in II-liuois
as a great man and a good
Judge. Should he bo named h« might
be endorsed by the Democratic Cou
vention. Should those two things oc-cur
I am as certain that he would car-ry
Illinois by .10,000 majority as I am
certain that the sun will rise to-mor-row
morning. Tiuiiibull is au upright
man, an able Senator, but he has been
so long before the public and so close-ly
connected by his name aud family
with Connecticut, that I need not
sneak of him. If cither of these dis-tinguished
gentlemen net, n.i in my
opinion they will net, as a candidate
lor President against Chant, tbay will
receive the undoubted support of
.'LOOO.ooo of Democrats and likewise
of 000,000 or 1.000,000 Republicans
also. Now, what I mention is this de-sire
to restore the government into the
hands of statesineii-(applause)—into
the control of civil law, rather than
into military despotism—(applause)—
and back into the civil track where
Jefferson and our fathers placed it."—
(Applause.)
Wendell Philips Sai/n.—Ueccntlv,
while on a visit to the West, in tho
vicinity of Grant's former home. I ask-ed
a friend of mine, at whose house I
was stopping, what the people there
thought of the presidcnt.nnd he replied
that they hud a very poor opinion of
him ; ihey did not think he was an
honest man. My friend asked me to
ride around within the neighborhood
ami he would show n>c at least live
grog shops where ihe now president of
the United States has yet whisky bjlls
standing against him, the score uot
having been wiped out !
To which the H'.uW adds: when
Mr. Grant was charged with being in
debt to the United States treasury on
an old account dating from the time
of the Mexican war. the charge was as
fiercely snouted as this Statement Of
the great agitator's will no doubt be.
But the acoouut mu correct, and un-der
pressure Mr. Gram liquidated it,
the inconvenient clerk who hunted nut
the item receiving his discharge.—
What is to bo done with the whisky
bills remains to be .seen. Perhaps from
their peculiar nature it would be po-litically
more profitable to ignore than
to pay.

AU Artie Store.—When the last
German Arctic expedition started for
the North Pole, it carried a newly in-vented
stove, by Professor Meidinger,
which would have rejoiced the hear!
of Count Humford, and has proved an
invaluable iiiventioiieil. It is of iron,
having a double wall with a space,
about two inches wide, between outer
and inner walls, to which the air has
free access above and below. The
cold air being always at the bottom,
and the warm ascending, il follows
that ail the air in the room is being
constantly forced through the space
between the outer and inner covering
ot the stove, or what is the same, is
being constantly heated. The coal is
put in from the top, and fills the whole
inside of the stove, which is about six
feet high, more or less. It is then
lighted trom the top and kept burning
by the draught created by Valves in-serted
into both side walls and at the
bottom of the stove. The valvesopen-ed,
the greater the heat, SO that the
temperature can be easily regulated.
The expense is a thitd less than thai
of an ordinary German stove, and tie-new
invention, in an elegant shape, is
rapidly finding us way into dwelling
bouse.
