C|e ??afcjp?mi aub ?5outran WEDNESDAY, APBII* 15. Modem Society. Coxcerni*a"OU Virainnif.n f Borton Transcript, j If one had a wishing qpf> and were calling, together aH m mosfft?pos Bible things that one could desire in the dreary days of February, no doubt some of the following would be in the category : Spring breezes scented with arbutus, soft airs that make it possible to ride and drive without overcoats, a blue sky, a kind? ly-not a blazing-sun, flowers jost bursting into beauty, roses unfasten? ing leaf from leaf, as though a thous? and beauties were parting their lips ; and then what things to eat ! Fresh shad, strawberries, the big sweet, succulent sweet potatoes-for there are sweety potatoes and sweet, sweet po tatotut robins,' robins broiled on toast; and When one knows people of that name with what additional zest does one eat them-fresh lettuce and new Irish potatoes and dainty little tomatoes, and such oysters, oysters such as made Thackeray ex? claim in a fright that he had swallow? ed a baby ; and all these you may have from the arbutus-scented breezes to Ute infantile oysters just by a one ?ight'fr*%e?mt!i? itt a sleeping car. At a o^pcfe fon leave New York in a snow-storm, at 8 o'clock the next morning you are at Norfolk, Ta , and unless you are one of those systemat? ically unhappy people who make their friends morbid by keeping a persona! account, it does not cost very much. The chief characteristics of Norfolk are negroes and idleness. Abundant leisure is written upon thc manne?&of the inhabitants and upon itg$?Jsi& of manners of the negroes. . th it the negroes are rude or un hey have no more man? tean; dogs and cats. But they are a delight fal race so long as they are in subjection, and so far as one can see, they are to-day practically as much slaves of the whites as ever they were. Irresponsible, shiftless, not immoral but unmoral, happy and affectionate * they are as much a fea? ture of the South as is the scenery. It would be quite impossible to live without them for they supply the place of the Irish, German, Swedish and Scandinavian elements in our own Northern population. It does not seem either that they greatly im? prove in the sense in which we speak of improvement as applied to other races. They are as ignorant and as irresponsible today as fifty years ago, and were the white population tohjrettove in -a body from the South? leaving the negroes behind, in two generations they would sink back in? to the uncivilized condition of the African. They live on cabbage and pork, they refuse absolutely to live in the houses of their employers, but return every night to their own cab? ins. "If yon want me to sleep on de lot, 1'se don't want de place/' is the way, they phrase it, meauing that if you want them to sleep in the house, that they will not take the situation One sees, therefore, the strange sight of s city of forty thousand in? habitants, like Norfolk, Ya , for ex? ample, where all the servants go to their own homes at night, returning in the morning to their work. The are the children of this country. The Indian has something stoical and strong about him that makes him manly ; but the negro is the big epi? curean baby. He smiles if you wink at him, laughs at your sorriest jokes, whimpers over the tiniest pains, lies and steals with sunny good nat are and a pan gi ess conscience, and lolls about in the sun with possum-like in? difference to anything but the crav? ings of hunger. Ile is vain, and struts and spreads his tail like the veriest peacock or the vainest wo? man. Ile loves to ornament himself, and appears when on parade with the gaudiest bandanna, the shiniest boots, the most awakening cheeks, the most blazing ueckciolhs, the largest rings. Ile pinches his feet and his hands in shoes and gloves too soc all, and lingers fondly in front of those shop? the window glasses of which offer him the oppor? tunity to see himself 1 suppose no ur:prejudiced Northerner ever goes South without becoming convinced that in so far as they claimed the ab solute-inability of the negroes to govern "themselves or others, the Southerners were light, lt ia not surprising, but perfectly net ural and right, that the whites should govern, whether in a majority or not ; and even though the Constitution must be changed to bring it about, it must be made possible in some way lor the whites legally to do the govern? ing Strip a man of his Yankee po? litics and his Yankee prejudices, and sen?! him South to live fora year, and he returns as thoroughly Southern, politically, as thong li he had never beard the name of the Hon. George Friable Hoar, and never heard the story of hov. Dawes was elected Sen at or at .the time when Adam was firsts rag-hiby. Although we have great respect for Mr. Harvard-Ostracised Lodge, and ?onside- him as much the supe? rior of his mugwump colleagues re? cently elected as is Long to Dawes, still we make no douU he knows in his heart of hearts that however right he may be constitutionally, and he is al? together right constitutionally-in the. matter of the Force Bill, he H sociologically altogether wrong vo siroke of the pen, though it be L..i coln's, with a victos iou* host behind him, can make it right in the eyes of God or men that mere negro fecundi? ty should rule over intelligence and probity, lt is only necessary to look over the census reports of the States and the larger cities of the South to see how entirely matters would he in the bands of these big, happy, black babies, if they were permitted to ex? ercise the artificial power of the suf? frage conferred upon them hastily in the heat of a conflict u hich had no such end in view, lt is not frequent? ly good policy to aid in enforcing a bad law in order that the evil of it may become apparent, and perhaps the Force Bill would do a deal of good if used in such fashion ; but as s reality, as a possible solution of the negro problem in the South, it is as hopelessly inadequate as is a rainbow to shovel coal with Bt:t. ti-*- Lord te thanked, we are not politicians ; we ate the shad and / the best bernes God ever made, and the broiled robins : and the negroes carried the luggage and laughed at the witticisms-such as they were and volunteered to go home with us, or do anything else for us, for fifteen cents. By the Southern gentlemen we are always impressed ; they are aristocrats of our part of the world there is no denying it-and their self respect and gentleness, and entire lack of self-consciousness, and their easy ability to meet any on his own ground without either servility on the one hand, or vanity and posing on the other, mark them as a race of men who have lived for generations among their inferiors. We are not sure that we should like twenty-four years of it, but twen? ty-four hours of it make a tiny tempo? ral vestibule of paradise. MODERN SOCIETY. mm iii - - Electric Light and the Eyes. The London Globe of Dec. 5 has the following : Sir-As the electric light seems to be. coming into general use, mach to the benefit of oar lungs and to the preserva? tion of our works of art and decorations, will you permit me to sound a note of i warning ia your columns against its being used without proper covers ? One of my clubs bas had it for two jears. and the incandescent light is only covered with plain glass. As I found ?my-eyes much affected, and beard many other members complaining of the same j thing, I consulted one of our most eminent occuiists as to the cause. He informed me that bis consulting rooms ? were crammed with people suffering irritation of the retina, infhmmation of j (be op1 ic nerve and electro-ophthalmia, in consequence of having used the un? protected electric light. He said that to be harmless to the. eye it mast be guarded in one of three ways-either with frosted white glass, opal tinted covers, or surmounted with colored fringe, so thai the eye can never see ir ; be added that cut or efflorescent glass covers are most objectionable and dangerous. This is of such vast import i ance to thousands of people who are in j innocent ignorance, destroying their eye-sight, that I make no apology for I trespassing so far upon your valuable [ space. I may add that the oculist pat all this on paper, that I might show it to the committee of my club. I am, sir your most obedient servant, A SUFFERER. BRIGHTON. ENG , Dec. 4. The Queen's Household It is not generally known, says a correspondent, that at the end of every year the queen's household expenses are audited and checked, and that copies of them are printed with a view to future reference. One of these having fallen into my hands, I herewith ap? pend a few facts and items which may interest more bumble people. The royal tea, which is always bought at a quai it, old-fashioned shop in Pal! Mall, and has been during her five predeces? sors' reigns, costs Os 4<1 per pound, aod was for a long time known as Karl Gray's mixture, be having recommend? ed the present blend to Her Majesty. When the gives a dinner, fish to the extent of ?00 is ordered, but for au ordinary dinner three k'nds of fish are put on the table, whitiog being almost invariably one of them. A sirloin of beef is cooked every night, and is put on the sideboard cold for the next day's lunch-the queen seems, in this in? stance, much like ourselves-and the j cheese, of which there are always six or seven kinds, is invariably obtained from tbe particular firm. The queen takes, after her dinner, one wafer bis? cuit and one piece of cheddar; the Prince of Wales eats a piece of gorgon? zola with a crust of household bread. The tea. as well as the cheese and the royal bed, are invariably taken with the queen wherever she goes. Her Majesty's wine, which is well koown to be incomparable, is always kept in the cellars of St James Palace, and ia sent in basketfals of three dozen to wherever she may be, thongb this is more for the guests and the household than herself, as Her Majesty, when alone, drinks very weak whiskey and , water with her meals by the doctor's orders. At banquets, however, she takes two glasses of burgundy. The clerk of the kitchen, who always carves, receives $3500 per annum, tho chief the same, and the two' confectioners, who attend to all the pastry, jellies, fruits, etc., get $1500 and $1250 re? spectively. - tmmm ~?-?- - - There is no probability that women will be admitted into the annual and general conferences of the Northern Methodist Church very soon- The v t ? of the laymen was in favor of the propo ?tion, but the olergy opposed it. The discussion, however, continues and the question is not settled. CAN'T SLEEP NIGHTS Is the complaint of thousands fufFerinj from Asthma, Consomption.

The Boston Journal of Commerce prints the following "About Yourself :" The average number of teeth is 32. The weight of the circulating blood 28 pounds. The average weight of an adult is 150 pounds and 6 ounces. The brain of a man exceeds twice that of any other animal. A man breathes about 18 pints of air in a minute or upward of 7 hogs? heads a day. The average weight of the brain of a man is 3? pounds ; of a woman 2 pounds ll ounces. Five hundred and forty pounds, or one hogshead and 1? pints of blood pass through the beare in one boar. The average height of an English? man, is 5 feet 9 inches ; of a French? man, is 5 feet 4 inches; of a Belgian, 5?feet 6| inches. The heart sends nearly ten pounds of blood through the veins and arteries each beat, and makes four beats while we breathe once. One hundred and seventy-five mil? lion cells are in the lungs, which would cover a surface of thirty times greater than the human body. The average of the pulse in infancy is 120 per minute : in manhood, 80 ; at 60 years, 60. The pulse of females is more freguent than that of males. The postoffioe department bas made an important decision with reference to the bond to be accepted from letter car? riers throughout the country. Hith? erto it has been the rule to accept only hoods from private individuals for the faithful performance of carrier's duties, but hereafter any reputable trust company, in good financial standing will be accepted on a surety bond. ---i^ IS LIFE WORTH LIVING? Not if you go through the world a dyspeptic. Acker's Dyspepsia Tablets are a positive cure for the worst forms of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Flatulency and Constipation. Guaranteed and sold by J. F. W. De Lorene. 6 -^?-'?t' - A CHILD KILL KD. Another child killed by the use of opiates given in the form of Soothing syrup. Why mother's give their children such deadly poison is surprising when they can relieve the child of its peculiar troubles by using Acker's Raby Soother. It contains no Opium or Morphine. Sold bv J.
