Mr. Beecher is a thinker, but be doesn't know everything and is candid enough to con fess it. He told the Cotulitutton'trepor ter that he didn't know as much about the negroes as we do, and he don't. When a northern man who bas been raised and fed on the horrors of slavery comes down south it takes him about a year to get his eyes opeu, and when he does get them open he is the poorest friend the negro bas got. The southern man who grew up with tho negroes un derstand them. Ho knows their good traits and their bad ones, their instincts aud superstitions and emotions and be knows how lo deal with 'em. Mr. Beecher is an oracle, ho has been chang ing principles and theology ?ll his lite. He fell from grace and rose again. Ile is smart, but bo is after all just human and lhere aro thousands of men just ns smart who make no noise in tho world. 1 would ralhcr trust Mr. Leland's mind and his philosophy to-day on most any subject than Mr. Beecher's. He is better balanced and more sincero and less ambitious for fame. Mr. Beecher de nounces the confession of faith and the old theology as founded ou hate and fan aticisms and says it was bellburn and that now wo have a religion of love. It has taken him a long time to find out that our Heavenly Father was a Uod of love and that Jesus Christ made love tho very soul and spirit of His teachings. Hato und fanaticism I How long bas it been . inco the reverend gentleman was willing to see tho southern people butchered, their towns and cities burned and their land made desolate and for what was it -hate towards us or love for the union and tho negro. 1 wonder if he never considers how much he contributed to Ibis war ot bute und death and urson and rape and robbery and desolation. It is time the preacher was discovering that true religion is love ; but it is late-very late for him. I don't think there is any more love in I the world than there used lo be, but there is a good deal more foar-fear of I tho law-fear of one another, and hence I there is more consideration ; more toler ranceof opinion. F>>ar keeps thc world at peace more than iove, and fear keeps the peac between me and my nabor. It is to our mutual interests to live in peace and have respect for each other's rights. There iu some love and good will, but it don't go far-and very far outside the plantation. We are all dependent upon one another, and we know it, and that makes us kind. We ure sociable by nature and that makes us agreeable ; . but there is not much love floating ? around loose. The tail end of thc war convinced us all in this region that law was stronger than love, for when we had no law love was scarce and what little there was was powerless to protect us. Human nature is about the same it was 4,000 years ago, the same in instinct and passion. Mr. Beecher is no better than David, i .ord Bacon was the wisest, brightest, meanest of mankind. We are all smarter and have more contrivance and invention because we needed more. We couldent get along without it. Knowledge is more universally diffused and the common people are catching up with tue kiugs and professors and phi losophers of the world, but every man is for himself just like he used to be. We admire talent and elonuenc and genius, but we think more ol a un..i after ho is dead and out of the way than when be was living. Even then, while we blow his trumpet and sing bis praise we don't want to pay for burying him, and we wouldent do it if it bau to come out of our own pockets. It was struggle and a strain to get the State to bury Mr. Stephens. Praise is cheap bul collins lire expensive. Nevertheless we are reasonably kind to one another ! as kind as we can afford to bo. Most of us are poor and live on a strain, and can't do much for one another. Thc rich could do more and I reckon would if they knew they were rich. But is is not one in a hundred who knows when bc bas got enough and ought to divide bia supplies. 2,0<J0 years ago the love of money was said to be the root of all evil, and il is yet. There han been 'to change in that. There are good people aud bad people, just as there used to bo. Sumo aro kind and generous and some are selfish and unforgiving. The race is powerfully mixed. There used to be hewers of wood and drawers of water and there are now and always will be 1 reckon. Some vessels are for honor and some for dishonor. There is just as much crime in proportion to population as there was a hundred years ago, but we are growing smarter all the time-smar ter in crime and vice as well as in books and knowledge. The devil keeps up his corner pretty well. Mr. Beecher seems to have uo objec tion to a white woman marrying a negro if she wants to, but be thinks Mormon ism ought to be suppressed. I don't know whether it is thc religion of the Mormons that excites him or their having more than one wife. If it is thc latter, there is some atonement in the fact that they do it openly and publicly and not on the sly. But to the southern mind there is something moro horriblo and disgusting than Mormonism, and that is the amal gamation that be says he has no objec tion to. Wo obji=ct, and we object so earnestly that it will not be tolerated. We know that it is against the order of nalure-against tho fi tn ess of things, and we denounce it. Mr. Beecher ix still a fanatic and his sensibilities to public decency are blunted. Mr. Beecher would encourage the negroes to aspire to social equality with the whites, and wc de nounce that. The temper of our people is kind-very kind-to-the north ; bot that same temper was exhibited the other night at DeGlvc's, when the decision of the supreme court at Washington was announced which declared the law unconstitutional. We did not need that decision for the law has been a dead letter north and south, but it bas proved that the federal court has sense and judgment. All that we want is to be let alone and the negro problem will solve itself. It is solving now. They have gone to work and quit politics. The few who got a college education are still running about hunting for office, but one by one they drop in the chain gang for some rascal ity. The masses nf them are doing bet ter than they have done since the war. Some newspapers say they are accumu lating property. Where, I would like to koo? ? Not about here, and nowhere else that I go. Now and then you find one who saves something and invests it, but they are too scarce to make a mark upon the race. It is not hhs disposition to accumulate. He loves to work and be loves to spend, and he enjoys what he spends. This ia his nature. He is on one extremo and the white man is on another. The white man laya up some thing for winter and hard times and shoes and blankets and wood. Rut the aver age negro don't consider any future further off than next Sunday. I do not know a single one in my neighborhood who ban made any provision for tho com ing winter. They know thai they have strong anns ami can gc? a dollar a day whenever tho meal tub is empty and so they laugh and sing and joke and cat and sleep and livo without care or apprehen sion. Sometime* 1 wish 1 had n little ol' their don't care. Maybe tho wrinkles and the crow's feet would nt conte so last. The negroes never did want social equal ity. They wouldcitt have it it we were lo tender it. They don't want to worship in our churches, nor toset at our tallies. The only darkeys who ever tried to do so were hunting money without work. They wore cducatrd vagabond*. Thia decision will have a good effect upon that class. Now 1 hope the Springfield Republican will let us and our niggers alone. They have got nothing to do with us. Let 'em lend lo their own niege rs and we will lend to ours, ll I lived inn Slate that had 4,000 paupers and 3,000 white convicts, I would sing low about crime and morality. It those Tewks bury folks bavent got niggers enough to work cu let 'cm move down south and then they can sing tho old SODg : "If he diet I'll tun Mi ?kill, Ami if ho Hw* rn work blinagain." Hi ix ARI*. Money Mutters, DKAK KI?.-OK : 1 would like to know through the columns of the Home De partment of the New York Wit nest yoi: r views i.i regard to n wife's right to her husband's money. Now, for instance, a couple stun life together without any thing, and through thc early part o' their life they both work hard and deny themselves ail but tho necessaries of life, and by careful management they secure an abundance ; is it right that every tinto the wife needs n dollar uho inuit gu to her husband and ask for it'/ The persons employed by him have their pay and feel they haven rieht lu it, and why should a wife feel ber dependence? Why should she not have ll certain amount given without being obliged tu say : "I should like a Utile money to buy Mich or such a thing that is needed." I know ol several of my acquaintance* that are placed in just those circumstances, mid I have heard some of them say they would rather go without than bo. obliged to do it, and that if il was not for the children they would not do it. Not that lltey r-e refused, but are made to feel their depen dence. And I happen to know of some others who when they do ask expect :t storm and very likely a refusal, who do not have half tho liberty of rv woman at service. They are not given money enough to clotho themselves decently, yet if paid for their service they would have plenty. Aro their husband* loving their wives as they do themselves? i do not think these men would like to have wives carry the mouey and ho obliged to go to them for ivery ceut they want to use. I think if lhere was a little inure of the Golden Rulo practised, things in many instance., would bo very different. From one who is DESIROUS TO KNOW. [Thc Established Church of Snglund, in its marriage service, requires the man to add to his marriugo vows this clause : "And with all my worldly goods 1 thee endow." The Episcopal Church in this country exacts the same solemn declara tion of endowment. lt ia true the "worldly goods" may amount to less than could be packed in a trunk or a valise, sometimes, but thu bame form ot endow UH ulis invariably used and inusi betaken as expressing the ideas of th.it particular Church regarding thc rights ol properly between man and wife. The law certain ly bolds a man responsible for the tup port of bis wife. Men ure often uncon sciously educated into false ideas, hy the dependent tone their wifes take in "ask ing for a littlo mouey." Il is perceived that the wife deprecatingly asks it as "a favor," and a mun is continued in his false view at each succeeding reimest mude in that way. On thc other hand, we all kuow there are extravagant wives who have no hesitancy iu demanding amounts thut are beyond reason. It is bard to lay down a rule in the matter. The best, most defined men weeverknew aiways took pains to seo that their wi v.-'s Eocket-books were supplied heforo they ad a chance to ask ; and an opeu,empty pocket-book left in plain Bight on the dressing-case was the only hint needed for a new supply of bauk-biila, and always brought un apology for forgetful ness in the matter. Wo have known laboring men ol' very small means to make a habit of laking their wages directly homo to their wives and act exactly according to the very letter of the Church of England. Coarse, selfish and penurious men are no doubt very unju?t to their wives in money matters.J -Editor Home Department New York Witness. Just the time to be Pleasant, "Mother's cross !" said Maggie, com ing out into the kitchen with a pout on her lips. Her aunt was busy ironing, but she looked up and answered Maggie : "Then it is the very time f or you to be pleasant and helpful. Mother was awake a great deal in the night with the poor baby." Maggie made no reply. She put on her hat, and walked cir into llie garden. But a new idea went with ber. "The very time to be helpful and pleasant is when other people are cross. Sure enough," thought she, "that would be the time when it would do the oiost good." "I remember when I was sick last year [ was BO nervous that, if any one spoke to me, I could hardly help being cross; snd mother never got angry or out of patience, but was just as gentle with me I I ought to pay it back, now, and I will." And she sprang up from tho grass tvhero she had thrown herself, and turned a face full of cheerful resolution towarri the room where- her mother sat toothing and tending a fretful, teething baby. Maggie brought out the pretty ivory balls, and began to jingle them for the little one. He stopped fretting, and a smile dim pled tho corners of his lips. "Couldn't I take him out to ride in his carriage, mother 7 It's such a nice morn ing-," she asked. *'I should be glad ii you would," said 1er mother. The little hat and sack were brought, ind the baby was soon ready for his ride. "I'll keep him as long as he is good," laid ol '<r,rie; "and you must lie un the lofa UL et a nap while I am gone, fou ai . iking dreadfully tired." What i happy heart beat ia Maggie's M>som as she trundled the little carriage ip and dona ou the walk 1 She had done real good. She had r,i ven back a little of tho help and for bearance that bad so often been beato wed ipon her. She had made ber mother happier, and given her time to rest.

YOUNO MAN, BKACE I T, A Young, Ainu Who Sit? UoffH III tttl?Mi?*i?M, nuit What Becomes ol Him. Milwaukee Sun, A lazy man is too contemptible lu live, nm) ha* no rights his follow men are bound to respect. Young man, you may as well understand, first as last, that you have got to svors for all you get in this world. You muy not always get what you earn, as there aro men in this world too mean and contemptible to give to others what really belong* to them, but if you would keep out ol the poorhouse, and have a competency in your old ?ge, you will havo to work for il. To be sure lhere is a groat difference in men. Some are endowed willi greater intellectual powers than others, while some ure great er physically. Some men aro boru 'orr down*in tho reale of intellectualism, but mark you the physical of such a man. There is a way provided, however, for every man to better himself. You won't lind it in thc gin mill, neither is il to be found at the gaming table. Kemombcr one thing, and thal is, you have not the capacity to take into yourself all the strong drink made in this World, nnd you had better let the contuict out before you attempt to work on it. Don't bel all you haye ou a bob (nil (lush, ur before you know it thc other mau will either rsi"? you out of thc ?ifiine or come in on a I straight Hush. .Niuo hundred and ninety I young men out of a thousand, who Mart : ad wiih nu idea of becoming suddenly I rich by betting on a sure thing, get left, ; and are worsu off than when they carne I into the game. Tho bay horse is more liable to get beal if you hold a pool check on him than he was before you put your money. Such-certainties are uncer tainties, and never give up a certainly (or an uncertainty. Don't fool with the tiger; you can't moat always tell which way the beast w ill jump. When :i young mau sits down in Idle ness, with an bien lino' the world owes him a living, it's hie' liaifl his body was committed to thc dust from whence ll caine. As for his soul, nothing will ever be known of il. Il is so small that it would rallie round in the shell of ii mus tard seed, and when it leaves his In/.y carcass, is for ever lost on account of ita i ti ti ti i te proportions. A record of the young men who have been un fort u unto enough lo have a for tune lefl them shows that eight in ten never amount to a single atom in the world, and seven out of the eight die bankrupts, financially, morally and other wise. When a father br!ngs up his son in idleness, .uiver teaching him the first principle of economy or the value of a dollar, he commits a terrible blunder. Tho lathei guilty of such a crimo gener ally ha? to saw wood for a living Vu his old nge. Nine out ol ten of the boys with fathers why bring them up in idle luxury, ere they reach the meridian of life aro total wrecks. Wrecked on the rocks of total depravity which lie be neath the Btrram of life and on whose sharp and ragged edges thousands of lives have been wrecked and ruined. Money bags may, like bladders, keep you above the waters of distress for a lime, bul puncture them, let their contents escape, and you sink. Young mau, you have undoubtedly meant to di. well. ?So young man cv-ar goes astray intentionally, but in some idle, thoughtless moment ho graduates from soda water and lemonade to some thing stronger, and before bo is fairly aware of it he has hoi only lo8t caste, but has a whole menagerie on lits hands and is employing a doctor to help dis pose of bis immenso elephants and the snakes that laughingly cuddle in his boots. Y'e.s, the world presents too many temptations for the minds of all to with stand, and the only safo way for a young mau is to keep away from the tempta tion. If you seo a mun at a wheol of fortune win ten times running by betting on the red, you just keep your hands out of your pocket ami see bim lose all he made at the next turn of the wheel and on tho very color or number you knew would win. Hoys, tho recklessness of youth is what has caused so many mothers' hair to turn as white as tho driven snow. It's this that baa caused so many fathers and mothers lo give up by the wayside and bo laid in premature graves. The follies of our youth hang heavier upon the hearts of our fathers and mothers than the millstone that grinds the kernel into ihe finest flour. It's a pity that some of ?ur young men of to-day didn't fall in between the millstones before they have caused tho trouble they have. A Word to Clerks and Others. Very many young men employed as clvks are possessed of a laudable de sire lo start in business for themselves. In one respect they aro worthy of all praise for their ambition. If, by long and close application to all thc details of their duties as clerks, they havo acquired a clear anti thorough insight into their business, then let them try and start oui on their owu account. (Inly ho who has learned thc rudiments ot his business thoroughly is likely to make a success where he tries to go it alone. Many clerks chafo under Ibo necessary restraint placed upon thom by their em ployer?. Sonic deem their hours of work too long or their nay too small. Others are possessed ot a deluded belief that they know the business as well as the "boss," and fail to see why the measure of their reward should be so much smaller than his. Still others, and this is the most de luded class of all, lay the flattering unction to their souls that their services are indispensable to "the boss." Don't you ever believe that, young man. Yon may bo a highly useful individual, know your business thoroughly and attend to your duties conscientiously. We will admit all that. But nobody ever left such a big hole after him in this world but that some other person waa found to AU it. History will tell you that. Caesar, Napoleon & Co. were wise and great men, no doubt, but they all joined the silent majority, and still tho world has managed to drag along somehow without them. Never become possessed of the idea that you aro a mercantile Cosar or Na poleon, young man. No, not even if any one is idiot enough to tell you so. If you once get that crank in your bead you will make yourself a bore to all your friends. This poor, paltry little world will not be big enough to hold your high mightiness. You will suffer from lack of appreciation. You will be generally miserable, fretful and complaining. Avoid that particular shoal by all means. We are always glad to see young men E;ct ahead and prosper. Remember this, lowever. To be successful aa a merchant you must be careful and hardworking as a clerk. Learn clerical dutiea thorough ly, and tho responsibility of proprietor* ?liiji will become easy to yon.-Oornmsr tia) Enquirer. - It ia only the man with * pocketful rd' rocks who can afford to throw ?tones. MK. TILLMAN'S CONTEMPT. Tho Argument lui uno? Against tho Anti Kuluin!! Clamor. A Chronicle correspondent had occasion recently to have some conversation with Hon. George P. Tillman, of Edgcfield District, South Carolina, who is described in a prominent Western journal as "ono nf tho ablest men in Congress from either North or South." I am ?uro thal some ol tho viens he gave mo may be made public without violation of confidence, ile waa asked if he still held tho same views on thc lari tl" und Speakership, and nuswercd : "I am more and more convinced that tho true policy tor tho whole Union is a tariff for revenue with incidental protec tion." I am also in favor of tho repeal of the internal revenue laws, in order to break up the whiskey and tobacco mo nopolies, and for other reasons, which 1 ahull explain, in and out of Congress when the occasion serves. My posilion is in linc with tho acts of our Stato Leg? isluluru in uxemptiug cotton manufac tures from taxation fur teu year?. 1 am also iu line with tho Stale Democracy of Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Mary land, Virginia, North Carolina and other great commonwealths.

Kaiuhill for Speaker, becauso 1 believe thal, personally and politically, ho is the best representative of the true American policy, which can alone lend us to victory next year." Mr. Tillman was asked if tho newspa per assaults mado upon him had been effective? Ho replied : "They have not had tho least efl'ect, except to strengthen my position. 1 havo met them with nilent contempt. My constituents have not wavered in tho least, but have conlidonco in my good judgment and devotion to their bent in terests. I was prepared to vindicate myself, if required ; but no ono in this Congressional District appeared to think n vindication necessary. Tho only per sons who seemed to think so were free trade, Cobden Club disciples, on tho out side, who nrrogato to themselves dicta torial power not warranted by the cir cumstances." You havo Been certain threats that if Mr. Randall bu elected Speaker, his Southern supporters would be held to strict account. What do you think of such mcnncen ? Ho replied : "1 do not regard them seriously, and care nothing for them. But lt will be time enough to meet any such issue when it is practically nresentcd. At present, as I told yon, I hold them in silent con tempt."-Auytuta Chronicle.

Yes, that's BO, but tho moro you know about it the more bliss. Now I know a sweet girl (I know lots of 'cm), but ?be don't know any more what to do with her mouth than n demi john. She hasn't been oducatcd. 1 had been Haying tender things to her for some time, so one night I made bold to ask her for a kiss. (Kisses should not bo asked for, but taken.) She immediately ac quiesced, but how ". She pursed her rosy lips into a riug as though she wore going to whistle, aud when 1 touched them they were so hard it was like kissing tho husk of a cocoanut. (She is learning, how ever.) To leam kissing there are three things requisito to make a beginning, a man, a woman and love. The first two are UHO ICHS without the last. It would bo like tho cook and the cako without Qm. Yes, there must be warmth to make a kitts a success, and the only appropriate warmth is the fire of love. Boys and girls, I know luis about kiss ing and 1 filial 1 lose nothing by imparting ray knowledge, for, as Byron says of wine, so I repeat of a kiss : 'The more that enjoy th?e, tho more wo enjoy," and make any number of you happy by giving you the benefit of my experience. This instruction is offered ouly to peo ple of sentiment and refinement, others will please not read. First, take your partners. It don't matter how old or young, short or tall, large or small you are, so you have a mutual liking for each other. There is no fun in kissing a person you do not wish to kiBs, and what pleasure could there be in kissing a struggling, shriek ing girl who vows she will not bo kissed? That Bhe is not telling the trutn goes for nothing. Shu makes known the fact that she is about to be kissed, and by so doing deprives it beforehand of balf its pleas ure. Two nre enough to know it. A legal contract is not required, neither ?B fifo and drum accompaniment necessary. llaflte men everything. When you meet your hoart'a idol for the purpose of Eu run in g and capturing a kiss, don't urry. Put your right arm over her left shoulder, clasp ber right band with your left. Slido your arm slowly down her back to the belt, then pass your hand gently round her waist ; now send a little thrill down your arm, draw her close to your heart-don't burry-look lovingly into her eyes, bend your head till your lips almost touch hers, till you feel her balmy breath, then sweep your mustache softly across her lips by way of prelimi nary. Aim fairly ; don't strike at the corner of her mouth or the end of her nose, but let the four lips?como squarely together, then let them melt slowly, aa it were, into a pulpy oueness accompanied by a tender glance that gradually fades away into a misty nothing,, and thought wanders off on' wings "that float you through an atmosphere of rosy light that is felt but not seen ; then, with a long sigh, you come gradually and reluctantly back to earth. But you don't stay. Ob, no I You begin all over again and try to improve on the first effort, and you succeed so well that the experiments con tinue indefinitely, aud when that young woman's ma yella from the top of the stairs: "Sakes alive, Charlotte Matilda, hain't you gone to bed yit? it's almost midnight," you feol certain that old wo man is a liar until you hear the church bell striking the hour as you turn the next corner. - A meeting-house in Minnesota be came so infested with bedbugs that the congregation had to take a vacation while the sexton burned up tho carpets, cushions and pulpit.

SIMON BOBBINS: WHAT ALT, HALF BELIEVE. Tim Popular Supcirsttllons That Somehow Kt'i>x> Alive. There is something remarkable and not flattering lo human sagacity in the tenacity of old superstitions. lt its a usual thing for Intelligent persons to de clare that they are not superstitious, the declaration being coupled willi a self satisfied air that proclaims their belief that they arc a notch above their fellows. Vet these fame persons like to seo the new moon over their right shoulders, and regard the incident wit n especial satisfac tion il they happen to have silver in their pockets. Maybe they ure adverso to starting on a journey on Friday, or lo beginning au important piece of work or. that unlucky day. They will careful ly pick up pins if tho right end lies to word them, and as carefully avoid them if 'ho wong end is nearest. Other per son? who scorn tho moon and unlucky Friday superstitious have a peculiar re gard lor tho magical number Heven, or any number which may bo <ii"ided by seven, or added so as ic form seven. They prefer to live in a house which is numbered sovcu, with seven steps. If tho house is tho seventh iu the row, and thero are seven in the family, the charm is complete. Tho seventh hour of the day, tho seventh day of thc week, the seventh month 'd' the year, arc by "them regarded ns especially lucky. Others have a special aversion to the number thirteen. The finding of buttons is by some considered a lucky omen. Other persons aro superstitious as to dreams, and still others as to tho wearing of cer tain charms or amulets to ward oil' dis enso. Thus, a horse chestnut iu tho pocket is considered a safeguard against rheumatism and a Btring of peculiar sea bcans will carry a child safely through tho diseases incident to tcctbiug. l'eu coca's feathers are unlucky ; tho howling dog foretell disaster to his master's household, and to pass between the car riages of a funeral procession is a pro tcutous omen. To meet a colored person, a cross-oyed woman or a white horse be tokens bad luck as tho case may be. lu fact, the most trilling things in life uro conjured into prophetic symbols. Perhaps one of tho oldest superstitions, and one that smacks somewhat of sor cery, is tho belief in ibo divining rod. This rod, or twig, is thought to enable certain gifted persons to discover hidden Borings of water, Reliuble persons de clare that they arc successfully used iu the search of water, the twig often turn ing so quickly in the hand us to break it in two. What seems remarkable is that the rod never turua except where the waler is coucealed. There havo been many attempts to explain this mystery. Some believers claim that the wand is inspired, others that the rod is only au index, and that thc physical sensations of the searcher communicate themselves to the wand. The most sensible solutiou is that of Paramello, who wrote on meth ods for discovering wells. Ile cou?duded that the waud turns in the hands ol cer tain individuals of peculiar temperament, and that it is very much a matter of chance whether there are orare not wells in the places where it turns. The twig was also used in ancient times lo point out where stolon goods wero concealed, to nnswsr questions a la planchette, and lo indicate crimes und criminals. A Iiible suspended like a pendulum hus been thought in some ?KU ts of rural England to serve the sume purpose. Tho credulous say that the wido distribution of these and other popular superstitious is proof that there i? something in ihem. in thc meantime houses go ou being bauniud ; ghosls continue to appear, tables to tip ; chairs lo move without tho aid of visible hands, and ibo periodical rcsurcction of lmlf-forgotten bogies is unceasing, notwithstanding tho declara tion of tho average nineteenth century mau and woman that they at least aro not superstitious.-Philadelphia liccord, Robert H. Elliott on thc Civil Rights Decision, Robert B. Elliott, the bluck mau who was once Attorney-Oonur.il of South Carolina and a last ditch radical, is now living in New Orleans. Ho hos written a letter to a friend in Columbia regard ing the civil rights decision of thc Su preme Court, 'u which tho following passages occur : "Time has inu?c J, brought its revenge. Mr. Jefferson Davis, tho great apostle of the absoluto States' rights idea of Mr. Calhoun, lives to nco his prophecy that tho doctrine for which he so vigorously and consistently conicuded would sooner or later, be recognized as fundamental principle of tho government completely verified. ? * ? * * "In the new, progressive, prosperous South there will not be a singlo step backward. The two races here already know each other, and will, in timo, learn fully to sympathize with, and to respect each other. If the political or civil rigola of the negro shall ever be assailed, o' one thing wo may bo assured,-the a?sault will not come from tho South." Un urges that the Republican party has deserted the negro, and that Fred Douglass's idea of "independence within tho Republican party" should be aban doned for "independence outside of it," and nays the negro's safety is to divide himself- emphasizing the words. The .M::r. !!e Met in Chicago. A New York stock broker, who was on bis way to Buffalo last week, observed that one of his fellow passengers was closely regarding him, and after a time the man came over and asked : "Didn't I see you in Chicago in 1879?" The broker wasn't in Chicago that year, but, thinking to humor the stran ger, hs replied in the affirmative. "Don't you remember of handing a poor devil a sifter dollar one night in front of the Tremont ?" "I do." "Well, I'm the chap. I was hard up, out of work and about ready to commit suicide. That money mado a new man of me. By one lucky shift and another I am now worth $20,000. "Ah I glad to hear it." "And now I want you to take $5 in place of that dollar. I can't feel easy until the debt is paid." The broker protested and objected, but finally, just to humor the man, ho took the $20 bill and gave him back $15. The stranger then wit luker/, and every thing might have ended then and thero If the broker, on reaching Buffalo, hadn't ascertained that the "20" waa a counter feit and that he was $15 out of pocket.
