A lady writes to meo and asks what Is really metcant by the " needlu's eye " in the parable of tho rich man. I romem bor reading somewhere that it was the smallest gate that gave entrance to the walled city of Jerusalem, and that a loaded camel had to be stripped of its burden and l'end its knoeb to tqueeze through. And so a rich man had to give up his riches and come to his knees before he could enter Iloavon. But I do not find that in any commentary. It was just one of tho thousand pro. verbs that adorned the moral teachings of the Jews and the eastern nations. The writings of Job and Solomon and Confuolus and Mahomot abound In them. In the Koran is found this pro verb: " The impious man will find the gates of Heaven shut and ho can no more enter than a camel can pass through a needle's eyo." There is an other in the Koran which says : "You will never see a palm tree of gold nor an elephant pass through a neeWe's eye." Theso proverbs simply muant that it was impossib 3. Strange to .ay, the world has long since qutit m ing proverbs. All pr-overbs .';e come do wn to us, even su(t M " A rolling stoue lathlrm3--m os."

And here is a good, htumble, sensible letter from a Louisiana negt'u whto says he htas gr'eat trespect for- thte white people, and loves to lean upon them, for they know best aitd u~hoy have treated hinm kindly all his life. He wants to kntow where the woird negr-o conmes from, and what it moanis. lie Bays :' I i-read all your' lettere, and you give us some awful blows, but you can't blow the monkey out of us." WellI, the word ntegroi Is Sp~anish and Portugoo for black. The l''rench is ni gre. l'Th Latin is niger, and the IEng l ish corruptedl it Into nigger. The Cen tury dictionary ratys that nigger is more English thtan negi'o: and was usedi without oppi'obrieus Intent ; and can be found in writiings of' Tom [lood and Praed and Trevelyn. 1'Te lilh call them nagers. But as the Latin is the foundation of all thos~e langanges I would say that nigoir is really the ori gin and the most ptroper name for the race. I was on the train once when good old Sanford Bell Was ver-y much petr plexed about a miserable, cadaverous looking foreigner who took a sear, in the negro's car', and a negi-o preacher made a fuss about, it. So San ford asked him whether he wa~s a ntegr-oor a whitie man. Hie shtrugged his shoulders amt grinned as he replicd :"M inc fader vas a P-ortuguc, and mito muddert v'as a nagur." Sanford looked at, the prieta cher and said : " What shall I do witht him ?'' " Let him etay or pitch htimn out the window,'' he r'epliled. San ford said to me, " I think he is a cros-s he. tween a baboon and an cauluimio." I like sucht negroes as the onte w ho wrote me that respectful tanid sensi blo letter'. In fact Iicinow iof matty negtroes who have not only my regard, bitt a share of my afflectionts. [low willing they are to oblige you. When I am'i afar from home and want informtation about the traIns or the town oi' the time I always ask a negro, for he will tell mec more willIngly than a wh tito man.

A few mtoreo lynch ings are wanted. A gentleman freom Toxats-an 01(d GeorgIan-hos beent reading J ullin Hlawthborn's " NatIons of the World," and finds on the eight hundredm and fourth page of tho lifteonth voluma that when William Hoeney Harrigc was nominated for President thet were several aspirants in differet States: Wobster, from Massachusett McLean, from Ohio; Clay, from Kei tucky, and Whito from Georgia.

But this is enough of answers to Co respondents who request an answer I your paper. I try to answer most , them by letter, but they accumulal nowadays more than ever, and it hard to koep up. Some of your rea ers have got an idea that a man of tE ago ought to know something abot everything. Well, he ought to, and : has lived in valu if he is no wiser tht when he was young.

Shepperso writes as follows In the Manufacturer Ixeerd : "No farmer could sell his crop u the basis of prices for September an (O-tober delivory unless he agreed t deliver it during those months. H could deliver only a small proportic of his c''op by that thne, as pickin usually goes On tiltI DeLmber an sometimes much later. Ho could oal zeil with bafety for delivery in Novell bor and Decenber, and New Yor futures for thbese months are neurl half at cent lower than for Septembc i'elivery. The present price ft November delivery would leave tlb fariner, after' paying freight, commi siOnsB atnd oter charges, about 7 conl port pound for middling cotton.

Lhe farmer shoul1 d sell more thban h crop turn'ted out to be, he would thit have to buy of his neighbors to mial up the quantity.

" The old adage that a 't.hoemaka should stick to his last,' though voi homely, is nevertheless true in a ge cral way, thbe exceptios bt, servir to prove the rule.

HIllP IN SOUTi CAROLINA.-The Darlington correspondent, of the News and Courier brings to light the fact, that hemp was once grown in South Carolina, and the ad.itional fact that cotton seed oil ard meal wore first made in this State by Gov.

Blardsley, a nativoof Eng Sland, who was familiarly known u's " Sparrow Jack " Hairdeley, and who lived in the little two-story house still standing at Main and Upsal streets, Germantown. From an anulhaOrlativm: source it, now appears that the respon 'a sibility for the initroductioni of thebe g pest'ferous little birds must he laid is upon Nicholas Pike, of Brooklyn. Hie, d it, is stated, brought over with him A from England in the fall of 1850 about eight pairs of sparrows, butt they soon y (lied. Two years later he repeate~d the I- experiment, having purchased a num- I e bor' of sparrows while on his way to r Portugal as consul general of the United States.
