ARP ON THE NEGJtO. THE NORTR'S IGNORANCE OF THE SO UTh. See tiuleeciIons oun thu Fiualse Impresuioa (Senrved by 1'.ttNikt Nuws1s1itU'N-TIII Negro ane hIN Hor-lul SltruuI. I received a letter the other day from a Virginian who thinks of moving South, and ho wanted to know, how long it would take him and his family to be come acclimated, and what was the safest time of the year to make the change, If he had ever been South he would not have asked such ques tions. Most of the Northern pooplo associate the South with malaria and bad, sickly weather. They look on the map and see the parallels of lati tude, and so form their opiniOfls. Well, there is some malarial coun:ry away down South somewhere, but up here in Georgia we talk about going to Florida to spend the winter, just like the Northern people do. The only difference between Georgia and Virginia is that our winters are shorter and milder, and our summers longer an" -oolor. The climate is just vigor ous and bracing. Now, it is a fact that the Southern people know a groat deal more about the North than their people know about us. The tendency of travel is northward, and has always been so. A hundred travelers would go north to where one came south. Business and pleasure called them there. Until the great army of drummers came into ox istence, the Southern merchants went north twice a year to buy their goods, their spring stock and fall stock, and they became well acquainted with the people and their manners and customs and politics and religion. For seven years I was a merchant and mingled with them from Boston to Pliiladel phia, but none of them came south to mingle with me. Before the war we sent hundreds of our boys to Northern colleges, but they never send any to ours. We have always taken their newspapors and magazines, but they have never taken ours. Thousands of our wealthy people visit their watering places and their great cities every summer, but they never visit ours, and so they are still unacquaint ed-with us. In recent years agoo(d many af their nabobs an(d invalidcs take a straight shoot for Florida every win" ter, but they go in l'ullman sleepers with the curtains down, and when they get thero they huddle together i'n a fine hotel at live dollars a day and don't get acquainteel with the natives and don't want to. They come chock full of the prejudices of a century, prejudices that are part of their re. ligion and they don't want. to lose them. You might as well try to get a Baptist, or a Methodist, or a Jew, to change his religion. There is but one channel open to removal of prejudice and that is through tho pocket. The only hope of promoting peace is in get ting acquainted, and the only hope of getting acquainted is through business channels. Russell Harrison camne down to Atlanta to a banquet, andl he bC bayed like a gentleman, and I expeOct has is a gentleman, but ho has gone l'ack believing that our p)eople are kilinig and( persecuting the negroes andI robbing;~ Republican postm asters as a general business, a kind of amuse ment. But our climate and our mine ral treasures are drawing their good peop)le down hore pretty fast. Th2 ey are investing their money and they stay to watch it, andi the longer t hey stay the better they liko us. Their deep concern about. the negro soon passes away and the race p)roblem bugbear vanishes inito a myth. The truth is, there are too many alarmnists ab)out the negro, eveni in our own see tion. There is plenty of room here for whito and for black, and will be for a century to come. I can't see any vol cano nor hear its mutterings. The race prob)lem has already been solved in other countries. I was talk ing to a traveler a few dhays ago man who has seen enough of the world and humanity aind government to can cel all his prejuiidices, and cause hinm to look upon everything with the eyc of a philosopher. Not long ago he( took a trip to the Wind ward islands, the litt.le Antilles, and spent somec weeks upon them. 1HT visited St. Kittr and Dominica and Antigua and lBar badoes and Trinidad, andl found the English people in charge, and although the pop)ulation was mostly negroes, there was no trouble any where. There was no social equality, nor any other equality. England makes their laws and they have t.o obey thomn. Thc English rule is kind and humane, but it is firm and absolute. In those islands thero are ab)out thirty thous and whites and three hundred thous and negroes. Those negroes were' emancipated in 184J3, and they are now pretty much wvhat the were then. Some industrious, some lazy, some vaga bonds, some beggars, but all dependent upon the wvhite man and happy in in that dependenc. They have plenty' of religion and aro content wvith the present and have hut, little concern wvith the future. They cultivate tho lands and make all the sugar and muo lasses. T1he lands are owned by En glish landlords, wvho live in London. T1ho governor-general is applointed by the crown, and lie has enough oflicers arnd agents to enforce the laws andl keep the peace. Negro p)olicemen are appointed to kcop order amnong the negroes, andl they do it. Now, what is the matter with this picture? Nothing. It Is just the same nicture that is here. Right here in this community we have some honest industrious negroes who work regularly every dlay, and are clever, law-abiding citiv.ens. We have others wno work when they feel like it and steal when they dlon't,. A bout, half the boys from ten to eighteen are street vagatonds, who run the streets and the depot platforms, and are ready to make a nickel at any thing that is quick and easy. They laugh and Ir rlic and are greasy and ragged and dirty and smell loud, and are perfectly hap p y. Sometimes the y steal a half 1ol lar's worth of something and atone for it by breaking up rocks on the streets for a week, hut they don't care so they get enough to eat. Those boys are not, the excepstion but are the rule. If the law was enforced the last rascal of them -would be in the chaingang but our people won't enter se it. We don't want to, our feelings or sympathy for the little vagabonds prevent a prose cution for these little pilferings. They wait upon us so willingly and blackc our shoes, and carry our parcels, and bring our water, and sweep out our o&oes, and carry sweet notes from the - boys tb the girls and vice versa, and nickel, and so we take the bad wil the good and are content. There is r volcano about them. Old England is smart,mighty smai whe gets the labor of theso negroes 1i their food and clothing, just like si did before she freed then. That about all the toilers get anywher whether whito or black. Ha:py is th race that is content with their lot. ILI, ARP. TILE LENTEN SEASON.

It. is hardly necessary to call the e tention of our readers to the fact th we are once more upon the thresho of the penitential season of Lent, to remind them of the important at essential duties which this per< imposes. At the very outset by tl solemn ceremony of the ashes, ti Church impresses on our minds ti necessity of preparing ourselves fi that eternity upon the brink of whi< we at all times staod tremblingly. A moment's serious reflection upc the transitoriness of all thiugs mui dane, is all that is required to urge thoughtful mind upon the path i which the Church lovingly and pe sistently seeks to direct our footstep There are no considerations th affect the welfare of the Christian intimately or as constantly as tho which touch the future life. Oi temporal interests and needs-ti weightiest andi most pressing of the --are the morest trivialities when co trasted with our spiritual ones. It the height of folly, if indeed it desorv no stronger name, to subordinate ti urgent duties that bear upon our sA vation to the imaginary roquiremen of our mortal state.. What are but noss successes and the earthly triuml of social or intellectual eltort if the are achieved at the expense of wi concerns the eternity of the 'ou These are thoughts that should for themselves upon all minlls at t times.

All effort at sacrifice are absolutsly wasted that not hinge ul,on the thought of immo tality. These are the considerations th the Church urgently holds out to us all her teachings and ceremonies; thi aro the lessons of her festivals and h fast s. Especially during I snt, period of prayer and coutem'platii institutld in imitation of the long tri and( mortiAcation solf-inposel l)y ti Divine Saviour for the perfection His wonderful mission, does ti ( urchi call upon us to give up o minds to holy thoughts and our liv to holy acts.
