THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH. From the Richmond Enquirer. j That there should have been for some time after the close of the war a continuance of alieuations in feeling, of the South from the North and of the North from the South, was neither unreasonable or unnatural. The strife between the sections was fierce on both aides. The men who were fighting for the preservation of the Union believed they were right, and the men who were fighting f t the preservation of the rights of the S were satisfied of the justness of their cause. All argument bad been fruitlessly exhausted on this side and on that; reciprocal remonstrances had failed; there was nothing left but to determine the great issue, finally and forever, but an appeal to arms. Iq the height and beat of the oonflict when each party to the struggle is eaually actuated by an earnest canviction or the ligjbtffclacss of its osuse, it is well that there Aould be strong passion, doep feeling, hot hatred hurled from one to the other, for otherwise neither can do justice to itself. War means violence. It means men fighting with men as tigers fight with tigers. It mea*s the retirement of rerson ana the letting leoaeof the baser elements iu the or- , gsniam or humanity for the settlement of I differences hjr bodily strength, which the mental and mocul powers of the diSputnata have been unable to settle. The asperities and severities, the hardships and horrors of v- -- ??- . war, may u?, iu hw? by to exetoisa of mercy tod geeerosity on the port of the oaptet to the captured, the tmed to tfcediaanstd aeMfer; bat etvilised warfare h t paradox?t contradictory eonneetid of anfqGPBwtto tenqa. The Sooth vu sorely striefcen in our seotional struggle. Her gallant soldiery won imperishable honors, bat the fhilare of their etase left thousands of them who survived 1 homeless, helpless, and almost hopeless; and the biwve men still living, who boss the heat and harden of the day, who wero at j the front fighting from first to last, who stood ! as long m men oould stand between the in_ voders and their own firesides, are net all 1 who have suffered, sadly suffered, since the J cessation of hostilities. All the people of ' the Booth, men, women and children, had 1 such scenes of desolation?sometimes of j desecration?before them when the eon test closed, as made them feel there was a wantonness of warfare on the part of the Union armies, made them fear that there would be ! no magnanimity extonded to them, and made them bitterly remember their bitter \ wrongs. It was in accordance with human J nature that they were not eager to hold out the hand of friendship and fellowship to the men who hod recently borne them Jtmn in j arms upon their own soil and at their own i doors, while in the Northern press they j were still reviled as "traitors" ana "rebels," < and while the Government, to which in good faith they had sworn allegiance, was treat* ing them as if they were revolting subjects subdued, instead of citizens of tbe same re* publican country who had fought fairly and Dravelyin a cause that had its origin in principles proclaimed by the founders of tho Union, and often upheld by some of tho wisest statesmen of the North as well as of the South. As time has passed away; as tho sad, bitter and burning memories of the war have been cbkstened and softened; as the pas sions of both sides have been calmed and cooled; as the Northern people and tbe Southern people have been brought together again in business intercourse aou sucuu to- , lattoos, the feeling of unfriendliness be- * tween the two sections has grown less and 1 less, until at lost we maj hope that soon, 1 very soon, it will have faded away forever. ' If it bo true, indeed, that there is a more ] jrenerous disposition on the part of the par- ' ty ;n poser, toward the South now than has hereto.^"9 heen shown, the Administration has only to manifest it in acts and facts, as well as words, to induce the people of the South to accept the assurance of a more magnanimous policy toward them, and in turn accord to the Government a due degree of praise for its milder temper and its more national guardianship of the interests of the country. However we may differ, politically, from the party in possession of the places and power of Ihe Government, we are always gratified to see any and every indication of a return of fraternal feeling between the North and the South, and always pleased to - * -1 - ? inarrrnrvrmant IB the near mnwiiimn m m? . policy of the "Administration" toward this sectioa of the Union. Florida Iwdians.?Minor Jones, of guwaanee, Mods the Jacksonville Union the following: '-There is a strange statement going the rounds of the Florida press to the effect that the Indians of this State number not more than 60 in the aggregate. Nothing could be more wanting of exactness. Everybody who has had any intorcocrse with the Indians will bear mc out in saying that there are above four hundred souls, consisting of Seminoles, Tallahassee* and Micoosukies, who are scattered from the big Cypress or everglades to Haipattee town, near the - ? i Kissimee prairie. iney nave lurcc vuivie | and a score of sub-chiefs, who exercise little or no authority, and are sometimes deposed for faithlessness and misbehavior. The fact is, if theso chiefs have any prerogative at all, it is to exceed their followers in a matchless fondness for whiskey. With a little work and tolerably constant hunting, these poor people provide sustenanco for themselves and profit for a rascally class of white men, j known as ' traders,'' who rob them without mercy. 7 ! Gravity is no more evidence of wisdom than a paper collar is of a shirt. I I The Reign op King Amadkus-?A short review of the leading events in the reign of King Amadeus cannot fail of being interesting at the present timo. It will be recollected that the uprising of 1868, which was headed by Princo Topete and Marshal Serrano, drove Isabella II. from the Spanish throne. A provisional government was then proclaimed, and ft held power till June, 1869, when Serrano was made regent. This regency lasted till November 16, 1870. Then Amedeus, second son of King Victor ?manuel, agreed to mount the Spanish throne if the Cortes should elect him by a two-thirds vote. To this scheme there was great opposition on the part of the leaders of the Republican party, then headed by Castellar, the ablest agitator r Europe. But he was elected by the necessary vote, and accepted the throne December 4, 1870. He entered Madrid January 2.1871, amid great ] rejoicings, and entered at once upon the duties and trials of his reign. Iu the new elections for the Cortes, held in March, his first Ministry had a two-thirds majority, bnt was forced to resign in July, becoming unpopular on account of irregularities in managing the finances. Several attempts followed to make a new- Cabinet, and then Buis ZoriUt, a distinguished leader of Ihe Progressionwts, accepted the position of PVime Minister, and the Cabinet included, the names of Malcampo, Buy Gomez and Sagoata. The new Cabinet made a most favorable impression, and, asking for a loan of $300,000 000, more than seven times that amonnt was tendered. In the fall of 1871, Amadeua made a tour through the provinces, and was everywhere handsomely and oordially received. He was soon troubled, however, by new complications in his Cabinet, and a i new one was formed under the leadership of i Sagqst*_j^ . i Wlion A mtjLrta liMiimj Tin* Pntm woo . in * state of revolution. He pursued the < jame oonrte towards that island as his predesessors had done. This last year he narrowly escaped aasaasinatioQ. In the Northern provinces there have been Carl is t insurrections. After various changes in the Cabinet, Zoritla again became Premier, but has been [insQceesaral in keeping down tho opposition. ?he King will, of course, return to ftaly Isabella II. is now in Paris. She was born Dctober 10, 1839; ascended tbe throne September 29,1863; married her cousin, Don Francis d'Assissi, October 10, 1856. Her ion, Alfonso, Prince of Astorias, was born November 28, 1857. 1 1 Origin op tor Modoc War.?As the J particulars concerning the Modoc Indian nrar come along in the.California journals, it becomes every day more apparont that the , 'war" had about the same origin as most )tber "Indian wars." One of the persons ( ippointed to visit the Modoc Indians, with ( i view to a cessation of hostilities, is Elijah ! Steele, who lives in Yreka, California, on ' the border of Oregon, and in the vicinity of the Modoc country. He is a lawyer there, >ne of the earliest settlers and most respectable citieens. He knows all the Indians, ?? -a %w a . J A 1 ind especially tne moaocs ana meir cuiui, md they know and respect him: He was ' formerly a Superintendent of Indian Affairs, ' ind understands the "dark ways" of the ] 'traders" and "agents." This gentleman soys positively that the present war is a ' "commissaries and Indian agents' war."? ' The Modocs were persuaded to give up lands guaranteed to them by a former treaty, in 1 exchange for reservation lan s on which they ! nearly starved. And here is where the "com missaries" and "agents" come in as advocates for forcing the Modocs to be confined to that j particular reservation. The less the Modocs can find to eat, the more necessity there is < for supplies, and with more supplies, there is more margin for cheating both the Government and Indians. Mr. Steele says "it is 4 not a question of how much beef is used by the Indians there, but how much is charged to the Government." He mentions an instance in which a "trader" issued cattle to the Indians, (issued them "on his books"? that is to say, got pay for them from the Government. and drove them off and sold them to the miners!) The Modocs, he says, never got so much as a hide from that lot of cattle. Mr. Steele says, farther, that the oommissaries and agent?and he names them who have been most actire in stirring up this war?had a little "Credit Mobflier" among themselves in the way of furnishing supplies. They had the control of the contracts, and after the most approved style of the Pacific railways and the "Credit Mobilier" people, they got up an arrangement by which they contracted with thcnuelvet. Of course, in such a case, they were not any more part?cular about prices, or the (juality of the supplies, or the quantities delivered, than Ames, Alley and their congressional confederates were under the same circumstances. But the Indians got tired of this, and refused to submit to it. The cattle-men's "Credit Mobilier" was determined they should, and now thero is a sangunary war, which has cost the lives of brave soldiers and a great deal of LI* pUDIJC UlUHt'J. This is the old experience. Oregon has been partcularly fruitful in it. They had a "Rogue River" Indian war there once, which coat the Government thousands of dollars for every hundred honestly or actually expended. Rut the "Rogues" were not the Indians then, any more than they are now, says the Philadelphia Ledger. A Connecticut bridegroom created quito u sensation at his nuptials recently, by appearing in a pair of knee-breeches belonging to his grandfather; and which, owing to the briefness of the modern sock, left several inches of bare veal exposed. MENBNGITIS. ' The Savannah News publishes the following letter on meningitis, from a well-known physician in that city. We are sorry to say that it will prove seasonable reading in our State just now; Savannah, February 16. Dear Sir: Your note is at hand requesting my views upon the subject of meningitis, and asking of a post mortem examination of a case of this disease, which you say you have just learned I made at the. hospital. I have no opinion about this malady, which can, in any sense, be regarded as peculiar?not with regard to its treatment but in view of its somewnat wwe-spreaa prevalence. I am willing to throw out some well established timely hints, which you seezxr to think may be of some good to the publio. 1 As the name (meningitis) of this disease implies, it is an inflammation of the meningitis (or membrane) of the brain and spinal cord It is therefore, more properly called cerebrospinal meningetis. Tho communication of Dr. Knott, to which yon call my attention, seems to dispute the idea of its being an inflammation. 1 He says, addressing himself to physicians, that we must " discard the idea of its being 1 an inflammation," and treat it accordingly.* I have only had the opportunity of milking 1 an autopsy upon this one case. I openod the brain and examined every particlo of it 1 in the presence of several of our physicians, 1 and there was. but one opinion expressed, 1 which was that it was a high grade of in- 1 datamation of certainly two of the membranes ( ?the archano'd and the pia mater, which 1 are the two inner membranes lining the ' ' -* (MAmkannAa Avfnn/] lltfA ( urnin. Jiucau mu uicuiuiauca uwuu juw the spinal column, which we also examined ' and found the same results of inflammatory 1 action there. Now there are portions of the ^ son volutions, or sulci, as .they are called, where these membranes do not obtain, and 1 in these wo found no evidence of inflamma- 1 tion, showing that it is confined to these ' membranes, particularly to the arachnoid. ' As far as my observation goes, which has ' iot been verv large, it appears *o be a win- 1 ?r disease, and more likely to prevail in told, * lamp seasons of winter or early spring. I < lo not remember ever seeing a case in sum- 1 ner, and am very much inclined to the opi- ( lion that a very large majority of the cases } :an be traced to exposure. In some places ^ ibr years past, both in this country and Eu- } ope. it has exhibited a decided epidemic ' endency, and for this reason physicians lave assigned to it a specific cause. It may } lave a specific causo (poison for instance,. 1 lurking in the atmosphere,) but if so, like. I trli? vatiocs uf aiavij Ufcticr G1S6&869, W6 flflVG 1 icver found it out. Bat as remarked above, J :be only existing causo that I have been 1 seen able to assign is exposure to cold and ( ' 1 f L 1 1J ( lampness. ana meremre great curt? ouuuiu uv ;xercised in this regard, particularly to ivoid cold, damp drafts of air while sleeping, and after getting wet to change to dry clothes as soon as possible. As regards the treatment of this disease, ny impressions are that .most of the remedies .hat have suggested, and the plans of trcatnent laid down ''sure cures" have thus far proved very unsatisfactory. All the cases certainly cannot be treated alike with any probability of success. The physician must be governed by the circumstances of each case as he. is called to them. What would Jo one good, would kill another, and therefore no routine of treatment can be laid down, but the good judgment of the physician must guide him and if he has not good judgement, he has no business attempting the management of a case of cerebrospinal meningitis. Young persons are supposed to be more liable to it than others, particularly young men from fifteen to twenty-five years. ! I am yours, respectfully, J. G. Thomas, M.

The new steamer Victoria of tho Anchor line, which arrived at New York from Glasgow. brought back to her native shores Maggie alias Billy Armstrong. She has served before tbe mast in several British ships.? Her sex having been at last discovered, she found herself at Glasgow, and in petticoats Again, about the time the Victoria was to As an old sailor she had gone to the hipping master of the port and brought her ease before the managers of the Anchor line who gave her a free passage home. Duruing the passage I have had many lUmtAMiitinna n-ifn nnr mmintic tV?llr>w frn. VUII VV1 OHVIUIIO n?v?? VMI --..w ? - - ? ycler, and I subjoin an account of her story ps nearly as possible in her o\m words. She is nineteen years old, inodiuui size, with a play of humor about her eyes that partially ndeems the plainnessof her determined masculine face. So-high has she held female virtue through all her vicissitudes that when a ate rage passenger of the Viotoria insulted woman in her presence, two or three days ago, she very calmly struck out from the Bhouldcr and knocked him down. "My name," she says, "is Maggie Armstrong, though I call myself Billy when I put on pantaloons. I was born in the State of New Jersey, America. My father is a farmer, five miles from Trenton, and he has told me hundreds of times that I could do more work than any man. I was alwnysgpf a wild, passionate nature. I used to hate men when I was at homo. I thought they ought not to get more wages than women, ind I often wished that I was a man. My mpthcr died eight years ago, and lcflfnnothtr little sister and me. Father kept a house keeper until I was able to do his work, trhich I did till the first of last April, when be took a notion to get married. "This new wife he got in New York.? She cauie to our honsc and thought to rule ne and everything, but I soon taught her ber mistake. I left the house and went and bired out at a neighboring farmer's. My father came after me and took me home, md I stayed eight days, leading a cat and log life with my stepmother. I thought I ;ould not endure that long, so I took a strange lotion into my head. I was up stairs one lay along with one of my schoolmates. I ivas engaged in cleaning and folding my 'ather's clothes, and I said to her that if I rasto dress myself in his clothes he would lave a job to find me. Sho laughed, and said he would. There tras silence between us for a few minutes, ind without saying anything more about it & ber. I secretly determined to try it. At 2 A,l-.vK vtiav ii??-- 'ii i T uean, I went up stairs and dressed myself n my father's clothes. I took the scissors tnd cut my hair as short as I could, nrd ;hen went down stairs again and took $25 jut of one of the bureau drawers, for I knew t was no use going away without money, rhen I went to the station and took the 2:40 train for New York. I wandered about .he city a good deal, stopping at a small ho:el in Warren street, I think. I hadn't begun to make up my mind what lo do, for I had never been in New York before, when one of those runners hailed me ind wanted mc to shiD on a freight steamer, which he said was going to London and back to New York in a month. That seemed to suit me, as I was curious to see London.? He shipped mo as engineer's steward. I aever was sea sick once?in fact I never was jo well before in my life as I have been at sea. I always used to have headaches in the summer time at homo. No more feverishness now. All the engineers were very well pleased with my work. But they informed me that tho ship was not going back to New York, but to China, when she left London. So I was discharged at my own request in London, the head engineer presenting me with ten shillings for being a good, clean lad. With this and my wages, fifteen shillings, and what was left of my 825,1 was enabled to live in London three weeks. I went all over the great city and saw no end of things. As soon as I learned that the steamer was going to China, I made up my mind that I had got to get back to America a* a sailor, if I ever got back at an. So I used, during my spare hour3 011 the steamer, to practico going aloft; or if they wore stowing sails or doing anything of the kind, I was sore to bo on hand. I used to go into the wheel-house, too, and learn to steer, and before we got to the banks of Newfoundland I knew all the compass. When, there, I shipped on board the bark Princess, bound for Middlcsboro', it was not as an apprentice, but as an ordinary seaman, for two pounds five shillings a month. I hud bought a sailor's chest and recruited my sailor wardrobe with a set of oil-skins. These I had taken from the Sailor's Home hoarding house tc the forecastle of the Princess, and my life as a common tar began. There wore only eight of us in the forecastle, and, as I was always first to reef to topsails and furl the small sails in a gale of wind, we got along very well. 1 was discharged, finally, with the rest at Middlcsboro, after a three weeks' run. Then I thought 1 should like to see Shields, which is only nix miles distant. 1 went there and tried to ship again; but there arose a great difficulty. I'nfortunatcly, I had lost my discharge. The captain of a hark, the Kskdnlc, of Whitby, bound for Italy, would take me as L..4 - ? ' AeiUnflfv K/tnmnn uu apprentice, out, n?i <>- w.v........ . ?that is, not nt first, fur lie did take uie when lie found that he could not pet any apprentices. We left Shields loaded with coal lor Genoa. We had head winds and had weather in the Enplish Channel, but the Mediterranean was 'air enough to inako up for it. Wo wore in Genoa nine weeks in all, and it was after we had been there six weeks that I was found out not to bo a man. It happened in this way : There was a brute of a sailor in the forecastle who was always imposing on me; when we were shoveling coal in the hold he made me fill two baskets to his one; I was telling this to the rest of the crew after we were done work; he gave m6 the lie, and the result was a knock-down fight"between us; he was the bigger, and he got the better of me, and I began crying. This led to suspicions of my sex. I stoutly maintained that I was a man, but it was no use. The affair got to the captain's eais. Now the captain's wifo was on board, and to him and her I was at last forced to confess my whole story. I was soon habited as a woman again, and engaged as stewardess in tho cabin for the homeward run. Stopping some weeks at Malaga for cargo, the bark landed finally at Aberdeen, whence I came by train to Glasgow. During the passage from Glasgow to New York the hero and heroine of the foregoing story has conducted herself in a quiet, modest way?except in the matter of knocking down the steerage passenger for insulting a woman; and, as for that, you never saw a quieter or modestcr knock down in your life, Maggie starts at once for New Jersey and her father. A Gioantio Family.?The facts appended appear in the London Medical Record: Perhaps we may make no excuse for departing from the custom of not noticing exhibitions when we call the attention of our readers to the most remarkable development of adipose tissue, which has, probably, ever been observed in Europe, a least in one family. It is interesting, as testing the laws of heredity, to observe the peculiarity of the O'Neal family, of which careful examination by a writer in the Medico-Chiritrffical Jtcvieic leads him to vouch for the accuracy of the extraordinary measurements we give. They arc native of Ireland, Queeu's county, forty-seven miles from the city of'Dublin. They are born of respectable parents, hard working farmers. The father stood six feet and weighed twenty-seven stone. The mother is forty-five years of age, stands five feet two inches iu height, measures around her arms twenty six inches, across her shoulders three feet, round hor waist five feet and six inches, and weighs the enormous weight of twenty ono stone. Hor eldest son is twenty five years of age. stands six feet two inches, weighs eighteen stone five pounds and at the present time he is a Life Guard. All the sons and daughters were of large dimensions. Miss Anna O'Neal, the eldest daughter, is twenty years of age; she stands five feet six inches in height, and measures rnnnd arm twontv^even inch eg. across the shoulders one yarn ana a naff founu her waist eight feet two inches, and has the enormous weight of thirty-nine stone. Her youngest sister iB eighteen years of ag.-; she stands five feet two inches in height, measures round her arm twenty-five inches, her shoulders three feet, round her waist six feet, and weighs twenty-three stone. The eldest daughter is, as may well be imagined, on account of her ob-ssitv, scarcely able to walk. She appears to be uneasy .on her legs, and is compelled to lean up against the wall for support. The vaccinationSnarks on her arms having increased with age and the development of artificial tissue, arc as large as ordinary saucers. As there is no padding or artificial methods employed to enhance the enormous weight of the specimens, the disproportion which strikes the observer between the gigantic bodies and the relative small, though absolutely large, erania is almost startling. The hands arc coarse and large boned. In Annie O'Neal (affectionately and absurdly named "Lilly" by her smaller relatives) the molar bones arc enormous, and the mouth is much under hung, by the forward projection of the lower jaw. Although the mother shows much signs of excessive alcoholic consumption. thero is no disease noticeable or complained of, and the subjects do not appear to suffer froui any other affection than the inconvenience of having to support so much fat. Without a Parallel.?The New York World says: " A few years since there resided in one of the counties of South-Carolina two respectable citizens. They were of the samo surname; they also were cousins; they wore members of thasame religious denomination; their wives were sisters; they were both nullificrs when' South Carolina took the lead in this political adventure.? Kach one was the father of thirteen children; each of those men had throe sons and ten daughters. Where can a parallel to this be found ? An* Arabian Curiosity.?A singular vegetable phenomenon was discovered during recent explorations in Arabia. It is called the laughing plant, from the effect produced by the seeds. When they are pulverized and eaten in small quantities the person oating them will soon begin to laugh loudly, then to sing, dance and do all manner of absurd things. This lasts for an hour, after which he goes to sleep, and having slept another hour, wakes up utterly unconscious of what has occurred. It has heap suggested that this plant might he made a substitute for alcohol, and that it would have the advantage of being cheaper, until the government should seo through the trick and commence to tax it. But it is scarcely probable that the Arabian plant could in fact be made popular in that capacity, for it does not appear that it inspires the pcrsou who nnrtakes of it with a desire to whip his wife, I ? # # murder bis mother or indulge in any of the pleasantries that the alcohol of the period moves one to perpetrate. Sccst thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before, kings; he shall not stand before mean men. ADVERTISING RATES. .
