In early life he had wed ded tlbi* beautiful Klridn, el' Ahleii burg, and never wan a purer gem more dearly valued than the young bride <>t 10flileji<k>i'f by her doling lord. Yearn of Wight, unelouded happiness rolled ovot their heads; an<l if unalloyed pleasure has evi!*r dwelt on earth, it was the im.yr.hxi of Conrad, of Mhiendorf, when he looked upon his angel bride and their little Katrine, scarcely know.ng which wae tlvjc loveliest, the mother <>i the efliild. Often iih he saw their fa i offspring. with bounding foo steps, dimpled checks, and laughing eye, tJnyyw'.ng buck her golden curls. and rushing with playfulness and b>ve ? m L? ? her mother's firms, he felt that with oti t her his tmimires wei"" but gli t?r ing dust. 1/kn the other barons <?f aneient times, his retltiue wan composed of a vast number of armed retainers, and Ills power and wealth were uii '<pialed by any other of equal rank in tic eo mi try.

Hi* i lovely Katrine grew more nnd more j beautiful every day, and in her lie felt that he possessed a purer treasure than wealth could afford. In his cons'ant. watchful care over her helplessness. and the fond, confiding affection with which she returned hi* tenderness, he found forgetfulness of every Borrow.

He is fair, lias no axe to ^cri ml. and seeks the truth ns to things. He strives In his Southern articles to correct erroneous no t ions. He shows how false is the idea that the worn-out waste lands of the South are of no value for farming" pur poses. He sayH this incJdontally of North Carolina, and if we had met him we could have sent him into a section where ho could have gathered farming statis tien that would have astonished his read ers in the North. "I have found that tho most prosperous farmers in the South, and perhaps in the United States, ure operating on the tide-water lands of North Carolina." lie is a close observer and ^ty^atlve of New York. He has pub- j Halted n largo volume of travels and ob servations in Canada. nnd the Northwest of our went country. He says that "the swarm of semi-idle and parasitic negroes stand in tho way of better brawn and muscle, and that the total now <>f for eign ]xirt of the population of ll),tXM),(M'N) souls in those Static (the South) is less than per cent. ? is almost nil in some of the States." North Carolina has less than any other of the forty-eight Stales. There will ho changes before long.

A tJermnn Catholic priest. Father linger. bought 'J. inn) acres of poor, worn-out land In Lauderdale <Dunty, Alabama. had l>ee|i abandoned as worthless. He paid nil acre and people lunched at him for his folly. He built a church and a school house, and brought forty-four tier man Catholics from several Northern Kin!." He r~M t.~? tl? il fiom u? .? i r? per acre, according to improvements etc. These jxs>p'e had tried the hard ? 'Innate of the North and they were nil jvi>or. They luid failed to make in tin North and had to buy on credit from the p-iest their lainln mortgaged to him. They had but ono mule or steer to be.'iti farming with. They also suffered fr in defalcation wliieh forced them to pay twice for a part of their holdings What is the result ? They f.inned earnestly and wisely. Tliey iniprovisl their lands and built house* and fences and toiled on. Tliey cou'd work out d<??rs all the year round. Tliey planted vineyards and orchards. They have now better houses still. They are independent. They are all out of debt They pay cash for everything "Their houses are comfort able, tlietr Imrrif and ham yards in good order, their fences substantial their hrtfed mules and cattle sleek and fat." th<ir lands produce twenty bushels to the acre of wheat, using their own home manures and buying not one ounce of "commercial fertilizers." ami have abun dant crops of corn. Irish potatoes, clover. mi!!et, vegetables of all kinds, while the vineyards afford enormous yields of grapes, much of which ts made into wine of troiwl quality, for which there is ready ?ei!e. That is what the exhausted, re jected Alabama lands have been made to do under wise, well directed farming Th iamin today ore rated at So" an note. When l>ougbt for $4 they' were jeered Tor their folly, in the North they were po>r. helpless hard uj> for bread In the South they prosper, are Independent, with cash in pockets, and happy and contented.

From his earliest youth he ntudicH her, mentally and morally. She is his one engrossing ob ject, (he one study he never tiuishes. It i<# easy for him to talk of her, as It is easy foi? him to talk to her." M. Blouet has lived for many years in England, and ho says that he hardly knows whether he i? French or English. The most casual acquaintance' co\ild tell him 'ho is essentially a Frenchman all the time , Speaking of Zola, he nays that he con siders him the greatest of French novel ists. "I was an oflicer of artillery and went over axaotly the ground depleted in 'l/a l>ebaele,' and I am hewihlensl that Zola could have known the detail* so thoroughly. I have read aud reread the hook. It is my own experience. Zola'w one fault consists in not calling a spade a spade, hut adding offensive adjectives to the noun. Ah ? luit I am afraid I am thinking in English when 1 nay that! A Frenchman would not think of it. Words do not offend a Frenchman. It its the thing. In England It is the other way. The people will tolerate a thing they will not talk ahout . "England has no real expression, ller literature and her art are all lie.s. The novelist and the artist are afraid to de pict what they see ? at least the gt neral run of them are.

Blouet is amused at the sight of American women followed after the cult of the "New Woman" as she is being exploited in England. "The American women," lie says, "have a consideration which the English women would never dream of ^Jijoying in their wildest revolt. The class in England who do the writing are not tho class who need reforms. The women writers are speaking not for themselves, but for the classes beneath them, where the woman Is still a house keeper and nurse, anil nothing ol.se.

Mr. UikWAl think* there Mhould have been an Instant and Indlgn ant protest ami an Immediate wlthdraw al. It strikes us that they do not ko fur hack enough In treating this *ithjeci. If they are right, It U triors apparent that the committee should nut have gone at all. To reward the case as one In which tin re was a sudden and unanti cipated indignity U to he oblivious to fact s that w fr re as patent as anything wH could ti-. M was entirely plain mat the Huut tiei it Slates, In. their social re- ' lations. did not recognize colored itjen as on an equality with wtiite men. Thfw was apparent hoth In their laws and their usages. There may be some people who hold It to U? the duty of Massachusetts to try to hrcak these down; but It will hardly l>e held that such an occasion us this was appropriate to begin tt.e work. i he dlgnllled course would have b< en, llrst, to protest against themt and then to refuse to visit the States In the company of colored men w hifi such laws and usages existed. If Mnssachuset >s was to lie Insulted by the extension of one of Its colored legislators from hotels and social circles, she Invited such Insult,, ll was as well known before the com mittee started what was to be the treat ment of Us colored monyl/er as It was after that time. The only course to take If It was to be avoided was to keep a why. The j-e^ulatlon of social usages Is a m?tf?f 16 he settled by each society for ~f!self Boston cannot say what shall no t lUe ruin for Charleston or for New Or leans, and under ordinary conditions sne would feel it herself to be an Imperti nence If sho attempted to do so. A true delicacy of feeling would Impel her not 'to do oltlclally what sho would shrink from doing In the capacity of private life. The Hanif rule holds as regards law. We make laws for our own (lov ernnit nt in Massachusetts; they mage laws for their own government In Geor gia and In Alabama. Kach system of laws ope rat' s within the limits of each State respectively. One State does not attempt to force th< m upon another. Tho'jcomliy of statehood forbids it, and an Instinctive sense of reason teach s ue Its Impropriety. We expect the citizens of other Slates to conform to our laws when tley come here, and we should iccord t >? .> same respect to their laws w l eu we visit them, it* there Is a case where our laws conflict with theirs, we would feel It proper to yield when we are In their State territory. Just as we wouhl expect them to ylcfld when they come Into ours. If the same feeling, prevails among States that prevails among gentlemen, we would not embar rass the people of a State by compelling them to choose between respecting our laws ami theirs' It Is something that we have no right to do if we act in the spirit of comity toward them. I tn t a principle Is Involved tTvthe pres ent case, we shall be told. Kdmlt it. and there Is a clear argument) why the committee should not have gu/ie to the South at a I. but by no mentis as clear a one why it should luivc enibarra.'s <1 its hosts and rendered -U?-Atate liable to possible indignity by going there. That was not the time to assert the superiority of Massachusetts law over that of North Carolina. Our Slate was In the relation of a guest to the latter com multy . It was receiving Its hospitali ty. Ir knew what the conditions of such hospitality Mjerp In advance. If it could not accede lo them It should have re mained n way. To accept them, and then to insist upon forcing an unwel come guest was to violate the llrst law of hospitality. It is altogether a wrong manner In which to assert a principle. Kvcry man with the native feeling of ??courtesy and propriety will at once re cognize this. Surely It calls for no a rtrunient . As regards principle Itself, are we altogether certain that our own skirts are char of reproach in this matter on which the South Is taken to *u?k ? This point seems to have struck Oovernor Koblnson as he was giving his 'Views upon the subject. "While we may con demn t lie discrimination against the col ored man in the South, slmillar treatment In the North Is of the same repnjhensd biuty. When (he colored man atiiHtwd orcd woman shall have the same wflv come in the hotels and In the public places of amusement and otherwise that the white man and the white woman have, then we may more justly animad vert on the conduct of other commun.tles who do not accord to him or to her the same justice." Is not this a description of something like a beam In our own eye? It Is not so very long ago since a complaint came that the barber In the State House, where the colored repre sentative who was sent to the South l? a legislator, had refused to shave him when he. presented himself tor that op eration. If there Is an Irrepressible de she In Massachusetts to eradicate race prejudice, there Is ample Held for Its ex erxclo at home. We are as far us jmissI ble from justifying Its existence, but he must bo blind who does not recognize ll as a fact. Tl/e dignified method would have been to avoid encountering It by not Inviting Its manifestation In the So. 1th. If there Is to be any reproach upon the subject. It must be visited upon those, who, knowing Its existence, put them selves In the way to encounter It In their otllcla 1 capacity as legislators.? Itoston Herald. Crinvforil'* I'M rut Xuvi'I.
