Bi&op Newman and the South. r~.*" * Bishop Newman's eyes were evidently opened by his recent trip to the South. In a recent address to the Virginia Conference of the Northem Methodist Chnrcb, he said: "The purest American blood was to be found in the South, and he did not know bat the people of the South ought to thank God they had been born South of the Potomac. The North would ba~ve to engage in. a death grapple with the foreign element, which was fast dominating Legislatures and municipalities, and it might be that the Sooth would have . to march forth in defence of our dearnational institutions from foreign toe KTlh this section. J ^^^^^\Tn^?oatner^pSfflj^r believe in the J Constitution and^felaws. It is grati-1 lying that at last the light is break-} ing upon the darkened understand-1 ing of Bishop Newman. There is no better way in which he can do penance for the political mischief be has wrought in the past than by preaching, In season and out of season, upon the love of fne South for the Union. ?News and Courier. The STegro Problem. ??? William P. Calhoun, Esq., recently wrote an article for the Augusta Chronicle on the " Negro Problem " ; which has attracted attention iu many quarters. He advocated the propriety and practicability of the government colonizing the race. Some of ur contemporaries agree with his views but xhany dissent We do not propose to enter into the discussion of the question in any broad sense. The negroes have peculiaries, bnt they are baody about , doing heavy work. It would require j years for our people to learn bow to manage profitably any other kind of labor. The negroes make a lot of corn and eotton every year, unsatisfactory as their work is said to be. It comes natural to them, and they are the moBt contented laborers in the world. They live on less than any other people, and take no thought of the future. We have heard a great deal of talk about getting rid of the negro, but let ?n agent come around to take them to other sections and the tune changes. Violence is freely threatened to the man who proposes to take them to toe ieriue ianas 01 tne west, Some- i times the agents are handled roughly i without any process of law. From i many incidents of this kind, we con- 1 elude that the majority of our people 1 are not so anxioos to get rid of the < negroes as one might sappose. I ^ Old clothes look better on a negro I than on a white man. He seems to l EM be peculiarly cut out for such style of f dressing. What would look seedy on t the one_?aul4-do for a Sunday suit oirthe other. c You cannot persuade a negro to t burn sassafras wood. He thinks to f do so will give him the toothache or c bring some other bad luck. t The negro believes in ghosts. In ; a it j..j 1 c _:.li it ?:n ! tut; ueau uuurs ui uiguu vuey win y jamp on bis shoalders, and the only c way to get rid of the evil spirits is to * curse tbem. If yoa hide a bottle of i fi V whiskey oat in the woods and cover s \ it op, ghosts will fiod it and dance b around it all night, and they will be t visible to the eye. ' p The colored domestic servant is ! constantly finding something about the house that has not been lost. You h also have to call three or foar times j it before yon can get an answer. This class is also handy at taking your good clothes and wearing them to their frolics. Most of them have extra pockets, which are convenient for concealing a biscuit or so, a piece of sausage, or some other iatioD. The colored washerwoman will slip io enough sal soda before your eyes to rot your clothing. If she can't "getaway" with your clothing that way, she will soon wear it out on the washboard, or beat it to shreds with a bat. She either puts too much or too little starch on the neckband of your shirt, and scorches the bosom with a hot iron in the very spot where vnn tcinh if tr? Innt hest. Then SOmfi J -?? article, which yoa know yoa gave oat, comes ap missing. If you persevere ia yoar search, yoa will had it in a week or two in another washing, after she has worn it to a frolic or two. The negro believes jay birds go to hell every Friday. If he starts on a trip and has to tarn back, he makes a cross mark on the ground, spits in the cross before he tarns. Ge wears something made of silver in his shoe to keep his enemies from " tricking " him. He believes that some great calamity will fall apon any one who sticks a three-pronged fork in a grave, if it is done at night. He will not carry an axe or a hoe into a honse on his shoulder. He thinks he will stop growing it you step over mm ween ne is lying down. He sticks a poker in the fire to stop the noise of a screech owl. He won't pat his shoes on a shelf higher than his head when he takes them off to go to bed. Sometimes he takes a chicken off the roost or a pig from a pen, bat he never steals a sheep. It is not probable that the government will colonize the negroes in this generation. While they are with ns much can be done towards correcting the idiosyncrasies we have numerated above.?Abbeville Medium. A Whopper. Ia the year 1864, says a Southern paper, a Confederate soldier from one t>f the Louisiana regiments came home Ry men and spent >land. The solmake about two arried in an inrt. The soldier snake "Dixie," and other pepualways had a nolittle snake. He i kind of herb as Ie made on the h the root the ire attempt to ut in the field Kwrn fW a* run ning tee root around thfrim of tbe hat, so that the r^nakecQtdd not crawl oat ; bat there came a puff of wind and blew the bat ' off the fenoe, and the influence5 of the charm being removed, the snake crawled off into the swamp near at hand. The prettiest thing about the snake was that it was beautifully tattooed with different colored inks. T^e name of the snake?" Dick "? the initials of the soldier and his \ regimt^and company and C. S. A. were beantifnlly and legibly tattooed on the back of the snake. As/time passed -on and lifted the war clonds and let in tbe snoshine of ^peace and prosperity,'no mora was thought of the soldier and his little rattlesnake. Iq 1886, twenty years after the war, a negro woman, in passing the swamp, discovered a very large rattlesnake, which, after being killed, was fonnd to have twenty-sis rattles and two buttons, and bis bide when staffed held three pecks of bran, bat all the tattooing had gone ont. Then how are we going to know that it was 44 Dick ?" Why, when the woman assumed a warlike attitude, " Dick " sprang his rattles and rattled off " Dixie" io each tones as would pat to blush. a regular brass band, and to the tone of whioh np marched aboat 100 well-armed young rattlesnakes about six feet in length, all rattling off the " Bonnie Blue Flag." How He Lost His Situation. The editor of the Waynsbnrg (Pa.) Republican asked his nephew, "How came you, James, to lose your place?" "Well, HI tell you," was the reply. "X had an easy berth; got my seventy-five dollars a month; had an assistant; didn't have to get down till eight in the morning; left, at live; had a chance to take life easy, but gradually began to take it too sasy?didn't get down until nine in ;he morning instead of eight; waited ;o smoke two cigars instead of one; jrew careless of my money, used bur dollars where I had been using ;wo. "First, I knew my salary was cat lown a little, and then a little more; >ut I couldn't take tbe bint, but retted about my poor situation, and me morning I walked up after a light's spree, and lo! I didn't have ,oy situation at alL But I'll tel ou what I did have, uncle, I had Qy experience." That youth is working at fortyive dollars a month now, instead of eventy-five, but be already has six uadred dollars in the bank. Would bat more of onr youths might be irofited by bis experience. No young-man ever climbed the idder of success with a wbisky flask a bis pocket. To Mothers. If you say "No" mean "No." UnlesB yon have a good reasoD for changing a given command, hold to it. Take an interest io your children's amusements; mother's share in what pleases them is a great delight. Remember that trifles to you are mountains to them; respect their feelings. Keep up a standard of principles; jour children are jadgei. Be honest with them i:i small things as well as in great. If you cannot tell them what they wish to know say so, rather than deceive them. If you have lost a child, remember that for the one that is gone there is , no more to do, but for those left, everything. Make your girls and boys study philosophy; when they are ill try and make them comprehend why and how their complaint arose, and the remedy, so far as you know it. Impress upon them, from early infancy, that their actions have results, and that they cannot escape consequences even by being sorry when they have done wrong. Eespect their little secrets; if they have concealments, fretting them will never make them tell, and time and patienoe will. Allow them as theygrow older to have opinions of their own ; make them individuals and not mere echoes. Find oat all their special tastes and develop them instead of spending time, money and patience in forcing them into studies that are entirely repugnant to them. The Kicking Cows. "I learned a lesson when I was a little girl," says a lady. "One morn T 1_ ?_ 4 fit. _ log i was loosing out oi toe wioaow into my father's barnyard, where stood many cows, oxen and horses waiting to drink. It was a very cold morning. The cattle were all very still and meek till one of the cows attempted to torn round. In making the attempt she happened to hit her next neighbor, whereapon, the neighbor kicked and hurt another. In five minntes the whole herd was kicking each other with fary. My mother said: 'See what comes oi kicking when you are hit.' Afterward, if my brother or myself were a little irritable Bhe would say: 'Take care, children; remember how the fight in the barnyard began. N^ver give back a kick for a hit, and you will save yourself and others a great deal of trouble.' " Consumption Surely Cured/*' j "TiriH?EL_EDiTOB r?

Some on< says they often pat as much worrj and anxiety into a loaf of bread, ? pie, a cake, into the weekly washing and ironing as should suffice foi much weightier matters.

If ,11 eyes were normal, that is perfectly shaped, then it would be an easy matter to get -/ ;lasaes, a person by stating his or her age would receive the number ofglass correspond* | ng to that age and be suited exactly. But unfortunately there are few eyes perfectly lormal, and sometimes we find a person ot fifty and a child of twelve years of age wear* ' .'M ng the same number of glasses, the reason.being that the childs eyes were very poor rhile the older person's were very good. Again we often find a different strength in the ' ' m ight and left eye of some person. Again we find persons who complain of never being ible to get a glass to suit them perfectly. This is owing to a peculiar malformation of heir eyes which ordinary glasses will not remedy. When fitting cases of this kind?by '-\y , new process?we make a careful measure of the eye and grind a glass specially to suit, By this system we have made persons see well, who thought that nothing could be done ' or their sight. If your eyes give trouble, call on us and be fitted properly.
