A large number of lives were lost, and the details attending the sud “SAMBO" IN THE COTTON PATCH. About a year ago the ques tion of the colonization of the negro of the Southern States in the thinly settled regions of the West, in Mexico, Africa, or anywhere else that would result in ridding this section of him, was greatly agitating the public mind, and those who favored such a scheme would not brook the suggestion that it was not best for the colored man and best for us. While realizing that the negro question which confronts us is the great problem of the Nineteenth Century, we have never believed, for many reasons, that it could be solved in that way. There is no other race on earth that could take the place of the negro in the cotton field, and without the help of “Sambo” our people would be driven by force of cir cumstances to follow some other avocation. This matter has been brought home to us very forcibly this year when the fields of the South have been white with cotton which could not he harvested because the re quisite amount of labor could, not be commanded. In North Carolina and Georgia, in Ten nessee and Texas, the cry has been the same—the crop was being ruined by standing in the fields long after its maturity; and nowhere has this lack of sufficient labor been more keenly felt than in Darlington county. No, while we confess that the final solution of the negro problem is, to our mind, far away in the dim future; we have no desire to see a general depor tation of the only class of labor that can meet our necessities.

The Charleston World made the positive assertion some weeks ago that of the eight State officers chosen on the Hampton ticket in 1876, only two have failed since to be elec ted Governor. As this state ment seemed to have been made incarnation he was a cat. Therefore | he pays bis respects to cats in every manner possible. His house is the asy lum of “strays." He binds up their wounds, he restores their coats, he feeds and pets them and he has them by dozens. When the house becomes overrun lie will consent to let “good and reliable" families take some of his pets. In ad dition to these unfortunates the doctor has some aristocratic cats—cats witli a pedigree. These are marvels of beauty and of pride, varying in color from the one of ebony coat to the lithe maltese and the tortoise shell, whose mew is musical above all others. The scarf fiins of the physician are will be at my mercy ” Thereus good idea of the care with which the : work is done: Two ships made zigzag courses across the proposed line of the cable, and soundings were taken every few miles, and more frequently if circumstances wan-anted the delay. In this manner the ground was covered effectually. On board the Dacia we had an inter esting time and made some remarkable discoveries. We came across several banks where deep water iiad been supposed to exist. One of these banks nearly escaped us, as we were sounding at long intervals, but a suspicious shoaling was noted on comparing one sounding with the pre vious one, and as a little further on cats made out of moonstones or agate, deeper water was found we tried back, wi 1 ru y or opaz eyes. Ills cuff but- stopping to sound every few miles. The depth decreased very rapidly, and ex- ! citement ran high when the sinker tons are cats, and a sort of convention alized cat presides over his stamp in the blank leaves of his library rooms. It is indeed his cdht of arms, and silver and china both bear it. Butthecrown- ing curiosity is the enormous Persian cat which, stuffed, sits in a niche in the hall to remind the doctor of a per ished pet. It is but fair to say that this admira tion for cats is no affectation on the part of the physician, who is a very sin cere and simple man, but is really the result of a deep conviction. He lias a theory concerning each of Ids friends, and the animals which he considers the ancestors of their souls are not always Uiae which wonld be chosen if one had an opportunity of choosing.—Chi cago Herald. found bottom at sixty-eight fathoms. We had found a submarine mountain raising its crest to within a few hundred feet of the surface, rising precipitously from a depth of nearly 2,000 fathoms. Such incidents os this show clearly the necessity for careful surveys oi ocean cable routes. Tills bank was right on the proposed course of the cable, and if this had been laid as originally intended the strain would have proved fatal to its existence. Dissolution of Copartnership.

One of the many advertising schemes in New York is that of having a man dressed in a soldier's uniform march up and down on the top of a building in a part of the city crowded with women who are out shopping. He apparently has not the slightest objection to mak ing a ludicrous exhibition of liimself, and he is ridiculous, for more than half the people who stop to look at him burst into laughing at the sorry figure he cuts. The helmet, the belt, the military trousers, the blouse, the mus ket and the bayonet at his side are all there, but they do not seem to fit They were probably cut for a real soldier. At any rate, the man must servo his pur pose, for people do stop to look at him, but, as a little girl said after star ing at him with round blue eyes, “He ain’t half so funny as my brother’s painted soldiers.”—New York Tribune.
