Food for Thought Dr. Atticus G. H ny good, President of Emory College, Gcorgiu, ond who is knowu ?H oho of tho most talented and thoughtful divines in tho Molhudint Church, South, delivered u sermon on lost thanksgiving duy, which lins mt meted much attention throughout the catiro country Wo ure indebted tu tho Atlanta Constitution for thc following extract from thc sermon, und commend it to thu thoughtful uiteulioii of our readers: Mn concin<-inii I usk you to indulge me in u few r-Uectious that ure, L believe, ap propriate to ihm oaousiim. AliU fr.'ct, an a people, Kt us of thc S aith frankly iccogriv/.o Home of our faults mid lacks, uud try to reform and improve 1 know this is a hard task. And it is all tim harrier tieoau^e wo ure thc subjects ol so much don ti ii oi it I ion und minrepi-. soots tion by our cities of tho Non horn States au I of other countries. Much of this comes through sincere ignorance; muoh of nf it through tito uocc-sity of pilly politic; some of it, I lear, through sinful hut red; and much ol it through habit. Many have so lung thrown stones at us that, it has be come a habit to do so. The rather Phari saic altitude that many public mon at thc North have m-sumed towards us has om-. burrusRod and arrested our efforts to dis cover our faults und. amend them. Jhit all this only furnishes a reason for beginning thc sooner und trying tho burder. What is really good-and there is much that is good-let us stund by, und make it bettor if wo cnn. There ure some unpleasant things that ought to bo suiJ. They uro on my oon soiencc. Will you bcur with mn while I point out some of Hie weaker point? in our sociul maka up-fomo of tho moro serious lucks in our developmcnti1 First, then, let us endeavor to overcome our intense provincialism. We uro loo well satisfied with ourselves. Wo think better of ourselves than thc tauts of our history uud our present sh,tc of pro gress justify. .Some ot us uro ncurly cd tho opinion thut tho words "tho South" is u synonym for universo. AH a people we huvo not enough felt tho hourt boat of tho world outside of us We have been largely shui off from that world. Slavery did this, und this suggests u not ber reason for platitude thut it exists no moro. On this poiui I will mid only ono word moro. Hud wc boon less provincial, less chut in by und with our own ideus, hud wc known tho world better, wo would lin ve known our selves better, and there would have boon no wur in 1861. Second.y, thore ?H n vost moss of illitoiv. ney muong us There is white ns well os bhmK illiteracy. There uro multiplied thousands who can neither roud nor write They must bu taught. Thirdly, let us rouognizo our want of literature. Wo have not done much in this lino of things, lt is too obvious to disputo about-it is too puinful to dwoll upon. . Fourthly, lot us wake up to our wuut of educational facilities. Our publio school system is pain fully inadequate Our Col logos and universities uro unendowed, nnd they struggle against fearful odds in their effort to do their work We uro one hun tired yours bohitid the Eastern and Middle States. Wo aro also behind many of thc new States of tho West. Fifthly, consider how behind hand wo uro with our manufacturing interests, And remember that naturo tiovcr did moro* to furnish a pennie with tho conditions neces sary io successful manufactures. Dons any ono say wo luck capital? 1 nn?wer, no. my friend, it wus always so. lt was so when wo bad capital. I have thought of tltcso things a grout deul. 1 have boon placed where I was obliged to think of them, and I have roached this conclusion with per fect AonQdonoo of its correctness: Our provinoi 11 is 11 J , our want of a literature, our luck of educational facilities nod our man ufactures, liko our lack of population, is all explained by one fact and ono word slavery. But for slavery Georgia would bo as donsoly peopled as ltbodo Island. Wherefore, narong many othor reonons, I Ruy Ogata X thank God that it ia no moro among QB. 1 mont iou, lastly, some traits of character we should oultivato. First, rho humt lo but all prevailing vir tuos of industry and economy of business. There should bo no non producing olass among us-no wasting ohiBses. Tho Northorn people have moro money than tho Southern people chiefly for tho reason that they work uioro and suvo moro. Secondly, lot us oultivato the sentiments and habits of politioal pud social toleration. This is sorely ueeded among us. Wo need to feel thut a tuan may voto against us and bo our friend; wo nocd to fool that wei can be his friend although wo voto ugaiust him. Thirdly, let us oultivato rcspcot for all law uud authority us God's appoint ment. This is uot n characteristic quality of our pooplo. Tho educating influences ot mnpy generations have been unfavorable to thc development ol this sentiment SB a moiitul habit, or rather us a montai ehuruo tcristto. Wo must plant oursolvos and bring up our ohildren on tho platform of St. Paul und St. Pctor, as rcud aird consid ered in tho beginning of this discourse. Law, authority, we must reverence and obey as the ordinonoo of God. Fourthly, lot us look forward. Hitherto 1 have spoken before sonic of you of the South of tho futuro. Again I say, look for - ward! I do tho hercio doud no injustice But thc only rational wuy in which wo can emulate their virtues is to live for the country they died fur. Wo arc not culled on to dio fot lt, but to live for it; be lieve mo, good friends, a muoh harder thing to do. Wc sbouid uot forgot what General Loo said to our Geucral Gordon when it was all over: "Wo must go homo and? oultivato our virtuos" Lee did that. Ho forth with .si t himself to deine; good. It ?B a good example. Wo ore to do tho work of to day, look int; forward and not backward. We have no divino cull to Maud eternal guard by tho gravo of dead issues. Here Certainly we moy say, 4,Lol tho dead bury tl?, ir dead." My friend", my neighbors and my pupils; I declare to yon to day my hope is tint in twenty years from now the words '?tho S?uth" tdmll have only a geographical significance. lt any ?sk, "Why do you say suoh things here td Hay}"' I answer, because 1 remem ber who are bete, and I consider what they ?ire lo do und to bo when we aro gone iieuco. I have spoken what I solemnly believe to l.-c the ti utn. Moreover, tho limo luis fully eenie when theso truths should be spoken by somebody, und I try to do my purl, persuaded that before many years there will happily be un longer any occa sion or need for them to be spoken. There is no reason why tho South should bo despondent. Let us oultivutc industry and eoonouiy,Observo law and order, practice virtue and justice, walk in truth und righteous ness, and press on willi strong hearts and good hopes. Tho true golden day of the South is yet to dawn. Hut thc lig'it is breaking, and presently the shadows will flee away. Its fullncB of splendor I may never soe, but my children will see it, and 1 wish them to got ready for it. while they may. Finally, let UH cease from polities us a trust und us a trude Our duty of citizen hip wo must perform, but wo should look no longer to political struggles as tho meuus of delivering '(tom all our diiliouiticH. If wo succeed wo world . bo disap pointed. Politioal success may enrich ? ?cw place hunters, who ride into ellice upon thc tide ?d' pt-puhir enthusiasm; but it will briiifi littlo reward to tho masses of tho people There is no help for ns; if wo prosper, wo must work for it. Our deliv erance will como through taillions of hard licks, und millions of acts of tc'f denial, through industry, economy, civil order, nod tho blessing uf God upon obedience There is nothing woultor or moro foolish thun repining over un irrovootibhi past, ox? eept lo bc despairing of u future to which God invites us. Good friends, this is not 1800--it is 1880. Let us pre*? forward, following the pillar nf (ire und of cloud ni Ways. With health liud penco, with friends and homes, with civil liberty and social order, with natlon'ol prosperity mid domestic commit, wit li bountiful harvests -with all these bless'figs and good hope of heaven through Jesus Christ our Lord, let us nil lift up our voices in the glue psalm of praise and thanksgiving: "0 praise tho lend, nil yo nations; praise him all ye pi opio. For his merciful kindliest is great toward us; and thc truth p tho L>rd endureth forever. Praise yo tin Lord." I?UANCUVIMJK, S. C., Maren80,-Abou ll o'olouk this morning Mrs. M A.

Curiosities of tho Census* Tho bulletins issued by tho Coo9u9 De partment exhibit sotuo ourious ohaogo^ that linvo taken plaoo in the population of tho ; United States during the last deoade. Tho j group of figures showing tho relations of tho sexes in the oe vera! State and Territories is especially entertaining to those who aro interested in such subjects. I3y tho census of 1880 tho total popula tion of tho United States is 50,152,800. New York State hos tho largest population, 5,088,810, and Wyoming tho smallest, 20, 788. The total numbor of males is 25,. 520.582, and the total number of females 24,082,284. ? simple sum in substruction will show that the males hare an excess of 888,298. Now York has tho lurgest malo population, 2.500,283, and nlso tho largest femulo population, 2,577,527; an eicesa of 71,244 females. Wyoming has the smallest malo population, 14,151, and also tho small est number of females, 6,637; an excess of 7,514 males. South Curolioa hos a total population of fJD5,622; males 490,409, fem ules 505,153; au excess of 14,084 fe males. Hy tho census of 1870 tho number of females in tho United States to ovory 100,000 males was 97,801, which left 2, 199 males unprovided for. By tho oonsus of 1880 thoro aro in tho United States 96,519 females to ovory 100,000 moles, which loaves an execs of 3,481 males. There aro seventeen States iu the Union ip which tho females oro in oxoess of tho mules. South Carolina bas (02,994 fem?los to overy 100,000 malos, or in this propor tion, lu thirty States and Territories tho males aro in excess, and io tho United States, as a whole, there hr.s been a loss of 1,288 iu tho ratio of 100,000 males in tho lust decade. In South Carolina there was un excess of females in 1870, but during thc lust decido the proportionate excess bas decreased. Thero is, however, a largo excess of moles in tho United States as a whole. The preponderance of females is in tho Atlantic region und, with tho exception of Delaware, in tho whole tier of States along this coast tho females atc in excess of tho males. This excess readies its maximum in tho District of Columbia. In tho South on) portion of thc tier of Gulf Stales tho excess is but slight, while in tho Northern part it is very decided, showiog thc effect of the Westward emigration of tho malo de ment and of thc existence of a class of manufactures in which females aro lurgeiy employed. In tho Mississippi Valley tho males uro slightly in excess, but the moat mai ked excess of mules is in the Territories .and newer States of the West, and espe cially in those Stoics und Territories where tlie principal ooouputioiiB of tho people Bro mining und oattlo raising. In all Stales where immigration is aotive and tho civil zation of tho communities is undeveloped the uutural proportion of thc sexes is dis turbed. lu thc Southern States, to which thero bas been comparatively little immigration and which arc settled agricultural com munities, thc sexes have remained nearly equal iu number, thc females being slightly io excess. Tho statistics chow that, wherever the population has concentrated iu the oilien, or wherever thoro has bcon a rapid growth of manufacturing and mining industries or largo immigration or emigra tion, the normal rotations of thc sexes have been disturbed. In the Now Eugland and Middle Atlantic States there bas been a largo emigration of moles to the Went* ward und a proportional incrouso in thc proportion of females j while in tho South Atlantic and Gulf States thero has been a marked increase in tho relative proportion of mules which is accounted for "by tbo ecsKUtion of emigration and to( tho effort of nature to restore tho normal equilibrium between thc sexes which was disturbed by thc war." Tho statistics from tho CCUSUB depart ment showing tito proportion between for eign und nativo born persons in tho United States aro nlso very interesting. Of thc total population 43,475,500 nro native and 0,077,360 foreign born. In South Curolinu tho total nativo population is 987, 981 and foreign born persons to overy 100, 000 of nativo population was 16,875 and in 1880 15,850. In no State does tho foreign clement equal tho nativo, although in many it bears a very largo proportion to it. Wub tho exception of Florida, Louisi ana und Texas thc Southern States aro praoticully without any foreign clement, und in South Cardilla thc foroigu is equal to less than two per cent, of the nativo pupulation. Tho largo foreign clement in tho Northeastern end Northwestern States and iu tho Western States nnd Territories is due to the great mining atid cattle rais ing interests in llioso StuteB in wbioli so large n number of tho foreign immigrants to this country engages. In thirty-one States and Territories of tbo Union tho natural incrouso hus gnined upon immigra tion, und in tlie United Stutes, as a whole, thero has been a nativo increase upon for eign immigration. Thc incrcaso of tho foreign dement has boon in Now England, whore tho growth has been in tho direction of manufactures} in Dakota and Oregon, whoso wheat fields bavo invited settlement; and Colorado and Now Mcxioo, whero on extraordinary development of tho mining industry hus tuken placo sinoo 1871.-News and Courier, Hov.

INO FORCES IN RUSSIA Thc uiioiou of tho Court sont to every hamlet, clothed with tho power of lifo end death, wreaked his lust of authority or greed for guin on gentle and simple alike. Tho millions of money needod to maintain tho State wore ground out of tho life blood of the poverty stricken peasant on no system but the mere will of tho looal tyrant. Com plaint was met by wholesale confiscation; refusal waa met by tho knout, applied alike to tho bare back of tho aged and infirm on well as children and women. When, with every hopo fled, tho lacerated peasant appealed to the lost resource of tho misera-' ble-death-his kinsmen to tho remotest generation woro inado to pay the penalty. Finally driven to that last resort of the downtrodden-revolution-wholo commu nities vf.ro slaughtered by court martial and when tho numbers beeamo too great for even this summary method thousands of communities were chained In couples and driven Northward to tho perpetual winter of Siberia to drag out miserable yoars io the government mines. If in tho muroh death overtook tho victim his aorpso was forced' npoo his comrade to keep thc uunibor com plete until tho list could bo rocoiptod at the end of tho dolorioua journey. Every road in Russia hes been stained by the blood and bathed by tho toars of men, woroon and children who keep up this hideous cavalcade' year in and year out. So it came to pass that tho living came to bclicvo anything preferable to suoh exist ence and they ?sid wo will destroy all and begin anew. This doctrino is called Nihi lism. Autooraoy met tho agitation with redoubled rigors. Thc chief towns os well as tho country districts ran with blood. The ominous volley of tho deuth platoon nover ceased from ono end of tho ompiro to the other. But tho Nihilist had reached the cars of tho 85,000,000 and thc powor of. autaornoy became impotent. Its chief butchers wore secretly at first but later boldly massaorod in the very panoply of their baleful power. Tho Dation, tied hand and foot, was fighting for lifo. Tho nutoorat said: I will root you out and seed tho ground witli salt. Nihilism answered: Bo it so. You shall murder us man by mon, but tho last man will rid tho earth of you and those who como after will bo free This isa bold hut very brief statement of the existing condition of things in Russia. Thc lalo Alcxandor know what tho condi tions were upon which ho held power. Ho had but to concede tho people what nil people sooner or later Dchievo to hs vc fixed himself in tho hearts of Iiis people ns firmly as his obstinacy fixed him in their hate. Aloxandor III takes powor on tho same conditions. If ho will it BO ho may be the happy sovereign of a great peoplo. If ho will it othcrwiso sooner or later ho will oomo .to tho same fate as his father; nor can he ooinp?aln if a peoplo bound hand and foot moko uso of, tho only weapon left thom tyrannicide-Philadelphia Times. --j.? ?
