If one had a wishing qpf> and were
calling, together aH m mosfft?pos
Bible things that one could desire in
the dreary days of February, no
doubt some of the following would
be in the category : Spring breezes
scented with arbutus, soft airs that
make it possible to ride and drive
without overcoats, a blue sky, a kind?
ly-not a blazing-sun, flowers jost
bursting into beauty, roses unfasten?
ing leaf from leaf, as though a thous?
and beauties were parting their lips ;
and then what things to eat ! Fresh
shad, strawberries, the big sweet,
succulent sweet potatoes-for there are
sweety potatoes and sweet, sweet po
tatotut robins,' robins broiled on
toast; and When one knows people
of that name with what additional
zest does one eat them-fresh lettuce
and new Irish potatoes and dainty
little tomatoes, and such oysters,
oysters such as made Thackeray ex?
claim in a fright that he had swallow?
ed a baby ; and all these you may
have from the arbutus-scented breezes
to Ute infantile oysters just by a one
?ight'fr*%e?mt!i? itt a sleeping car.
At a o^pcfe fon leave New York in
a snow-storm, at 8 o'clock the next
morning you are at Norfolk, Ta , and
unless you are one of those systemat?
ically unhappy people who make
their friends morbid by keeping a
persona! account, it does not cost
very much. The chief characteristics
of Norfolk are negroes and idleness.
Abundant leisure is written upon thc
manne?&of the inhabitants and upon
itg$?Jsi& of manners of the negroes.
. th it the negroes are rude or un
hey have no more man?
tean; dogs and cats. But they
are a delight fal race so long as they
are in subjection, and so far as one
can see, they are to-day practically
as much slaves of the whites as ever
they were. Irresponsible, shiftless,
not immoral but unmoral, happy and
affectionate * they are as much a fea?
ture of the South as is the scenery.
It would be quite impossible to live
without them for they supply the
place of the Irish, German, Swedish
and Scandinavian elements in our
own Northern population. It does
not seem either that they greatly im?
prove in the sense in which we speak
of improvement as applied to other
races. They are as ignorant and as
irresponsible today as fifty years
ago, and were the white population
tohjrettove in -a body from the South?
leaving the negroes behind, in two
generations they would sink back in?
to the uncivilized condition of the
African. They live on cabbage and
pork, they refuse absolutely to live
in the houses of their employers, but
return every night to their own cab?
ins. "If yon want me to sleep on
de lot, 1'se don't want de place/' is
the way, they phrase it, meauing that
if you want them to sleep in the house,
that they will not take the situation
One sees, therefore, the strange
sight of s city of forty thousand in?
habitants, like Norfolk, Ya , for ex?
ample, where all the servants go to
their own homes at night, returning
in the morning to their work. The
are the children of this country. The
Indian has something stoical and
strong about him that makes him
manly ; but the negro is the big epi?
curean baby. He smiles if you wink
at him, laughs at your sorriest jokes,
whimpers over the tiniest pains, lies
and steals with sunny good nat are
and a pan gi ess conscience, and lolls
about in the sun with possum-like in?
difference to anything but the crav?
ings of hunger. Ile is vain, and
struts and spreads his tail like the
veriest peacock or the vainest wo?
man. Ile loves to ornament himself,
and appears when on parade with the
gaudiest bandanna, the shiniest
boots, the most awakening cheeks,
the most blazing ueckciolhs, the
largest rings. Ile pinches his feet
and his hands in shoes and gloves
too soc all, and lingers fondly in
front of those shop? the window
glasses of which offer him the oppor?
tunity to see himself 1 suppose no
ur:prejudiced Northerner ever goes
South without becoming convinced
that in so far as they claimed the ab
solute-inability of the negroes to
govern "themselves or others, the
Southerners were light, lt ia not
surprising, but perfectly net ural and
right, that the whites should govern,
whether in a majority or not ; and
even though the Constitution must
be changed to bring it about, it must
be made possible in some way lor
the whites legally to do the govern?
ing Strip a man of his Yankee po?
litics and his Yankee prejudices, and
sen?! him South to live fora year, and
he returns as thoroughly Southern,
politically, as thong li he had never
beard the name of the Hon. George
Friable Hoar, and never heard the
story of hov. Dawes was elected Sen
at or at .the time when Adam was
firsts rag-hiby.
Although we have great respect
for Mr. Harvard-Ostracised Lodge,
and ?onside- him as much the supe?
rior of his mugwump colleagues re?
cently elected as is Long to Dawes,
still we make no douU he knows in
his heart of hearts that however right
he may be constitutionally, and he is al?
together right constitutionally-in
the. matter of the Force Bill, he H
sociologically altogether wrong vo
siroke of the pen, though it be L..i
coln's, with a victos iou* host behind
him, can make it right in the eyes of
God or men that mere negro fecundi?
ty should rule over intelligence and
probity, lt is only necessary to look
over the census reports of the States
and the larger cities of the South to
see how entirely matters would he in
the bands of these big, happy, black
babies, if they were permitted to ex?
ercise the artificial power of the suf?
frage conferred upon them hastily in
the heat of a conflict u hich had no
such end in view, lt is not frequent?
ly good policy to aid in enforcing a
bad law in order that the evil of it
may become apparent, and perhaps
the Force Bill would do a deal of
good if used in such fashion ; but as
s reality, as a possible solution of the
negro problem in the South, it is as
hopelessly inadequate as is a rainbow
to shovel coal with
Bt:t. ti-*- Lord te thanked, we are
not politicians ; we ate the shad and
/ the best bernes God ever made, and
the broiled robins : and the negroes
carried the luggage and laughed at
the witticisms-such as they were
and volunteered to go home with us,
or do anything else for us, for fifteen
cents. By the Southern gentlemen
we are always impressed ; they are
aristocrats of our part of the world
there is no denying it-and their self
respect and gentleness, and entire
lack of self-consciousness, and their
easy ability to meet any on his own
ground without either servility on
the one hand, or vanity and posing
on the other, mark them as a race of
men who have lived for generations
among their inferiors.
We are not sure that we should
like twenty-four years of it, but twen?
ty-four hours of it make a tiny tempo?
ral vestibule of paradise.

Electric Light and the Eyes.
The London Globe of Dec. 5 has the
following :
Sir-As the electric light seems to be.
coming into general use, mach to the
benefit of oar lungs and to the preserva?
tion of our works of art and decorations,
will you permit me to sound a note of i
warning ia your columns against its
being used without proper covers ? One
of my clubs bas had it for two jears.
and the incandescent light is only
covered with plain glass. As I found
?my-eyes much affected, and beard many
other members complaining of the same
j thing, I consulted one of our most
eminent occuiists as to the cause. He
informed me that bis consulting rooms
? were crammed with people suffering
irritation of the retina, infhmmation of
j (be op1 ic nerve and electro-ophthalmia,
in consequence of having used the un?
protected electric light. He said that
to be harmless to the. eye it mast be
guarded in one of three ways-either
with frosted white glass, opal tinted
covers, or surmounted with colored
fringe, so thai the eye can never see ir ;
be added that cut or efflorescent glass
covers are most objectionable and
dangerous. This is of such vast import
i ance to thousands of people who are in
j innocent ignorance, destroying their
eye-sight, that I make no apology for
I trespassing so far upon your valuable
[ space. I may add that the oculist pat
all this on paper, that I might show it
to the committee of my club.
I am, sir your most obedient servant,
A SUFFERER.
BRIGHTON. ENG , Dec. 4.
The Queen's Household
It is not generally known, says a
correspondent, that at the end of every
year the queen's household expenses
are audited and checked, and that copies
of them are printed with a view to
future reference. One of these having
fallen into my hands, I herewith ap?
pend a few facts and items which may
interest more bumble people. The
royal tea, which is always bought at a
quai it, old-fashioned shop in Pal! Mall,
and has been during her five predeces?
sors' reigns, costs Os 4<1 per pound, aod
was for a long time known as Karl
Gray's mixture, be having recommend?
ed the present blend to Her Majesty.
When the gives a dinner, fish to the
extent of ?00 is ordered, but for au
ordinary dinner three k'nds of fish are
put on the table, whitiog being almost
invariably one of them. A sirloin of
beef is cooked every night, and is put
on the sideboard cold for the next day's
lunch-the queen seems, in this in?
stance, much like ourselves-and the
j cheese, of which there are always six
or seven kinds, is invariably obtained
from tbe particular firm. The queen
takes, after her dinner, one wafer bis?
cuit and one piece of cheddar; the
Prince of Wales eats a piece of gorgon?
zola with a crust of household bread.
The tea. as well as the cheese and the
royal bed, are invariably taken with the
queen wherever she goes. Her
Majesty's wine, which is well koown to
be incomparable, is always kept in the
cellars of St James Palace, and ia sent
in basketfals of three dozen to
wherever she may be, thongb this is
more for the guests and the household
than herself, as Her Majesty, when
alone, drinks very weak whiskey and
, water with her meals by the doctor's
orders. At banquets, however, she
takes two glasses of burgundy. The
clerk of the kitchen, who always carves,
receives $3500 per annum, tho chief
the same, and the two' confectioners,
who attend to all the pastry, jellies,
fruits, etc., get $1500 and $1250 re?
spectively.
- tmmm ~?-?- - -
There is no probability that women
will be admitted into the annual and
general conferences of the Northern
Methodist Church very soon- The v t ?
of the laymen was in favor of the propo
?tion, but the olergy opposed it. The
discussion, however, continues and the
question is not settled.

The average weight of an adult is
150 pounds and 6 ounces.
The brain of a man exceeds twice
that of any other animal.
A man breathes about 18 pints of
air in a minute or upward of 7 hogs?
heads a day.
The average weight of the brain
of a man is 3? pounds ; of a woman
2 pounds ll ounces.
Five hundred and forty pounds, or
one hogshead and 1? pints of blood
pass through the beare in one boar.
The average height of an English?
man, is 5 feet 9 inches ; of a French?

5?feet 6| inches.
The heart sends nearly ten pounds
of blood through the veins and arteries
each beat, and makes four beats while
we breathe once.
One hundred and seventy-five mil?
lion cells are in the lungs, which would
cover a surface of thirty times greater
than the human body.
The average of the pulse in infancy
is 120 per minute : in manhood, 80 ;
at 60 years, 60. The pulse of females
is more freguent than that of males.
The postoffioe department bas made
an important decision with reference to
the bond to be accepted from letter car?
riers throughout the country. Hith?
erto it has been the rule to accept only
hoods from private individuals for the
faithful performance of carrier's duties,
but hereafter any reputable trust
company, in good financial standing will
be accepted on a surety bond.

A CHILD KILL KD.
Another child killed by the use of opiates
given in the form of Soothing syrup. Why
mother's give their children such deadly poison
is surprising when they can relieve the child of
its peculiar troubles by using Acker's Raby
Soother. It contains no Opium or Morphine.
