A capital idea now flashes upon the pro-
fessor. He WAS in momcntary dread of the
ox's tail dropping of, and, TO remove his
alarm, and the tail together now occurred to
him.

flush Of blood to his face, and pretending to
be highly incensed, are you in earnest?

sSay it again! TO be sure | will. never

COW had no tail. I'd swear she was mine !"
"Well now let's see you swear" said the
professor, and he jerked out his knife, whipp-
ed off the tail, together with portion Of the
living stump, so rs TO cause blood to flow,
and ilinging the evidence Of his rogucry as
far as his strength would send it into the
stream, he exclaimed, seeming in power Of
passion, now, stranger let's see you swear !"
The owner Of the COW is fairly beaten.
He took another look at her, gave glance
after the tail, stared at the professor, and
then walked ashore and mounted his old
horse. He turned again to look at the COW,
and as the boat put of, he thus soliloquizcd
aloud: "Wcll, of all the most cytraordina-
ry rcsemblances l ever did scer' That's

The coffee party now went into the cham

But nobody had the pnliteness to rid the

outset Of this great scheme, 10 pay nil,
more for their supplies than they would have
to pay in New York and and other Northern
cities. 1t would certainly be good policy to
do so if the result in Il reasonable time would
be the substitution in the South of rs good
and cheap markets rs could be found in other
sections.
The incidental advantages Ola direct trade
would be immense. The shipping necessary
for it would be built ut the South. Machine
shops, boundaries, and ship yards won'd be
established OH large scale ut appropriate
places and call into requislion Southern ma
tcrials and mechanical skill. The existence
of wealth tends to create it and every dollar
kept in our midst by the direct interchange
of our productions for those of other coun-
tries would be that much added to our pcrma-
nent wealth. We would be less prosperous
to tie amount paid third party to convey
them between lis.
Independent of the ordinary advantages OF
IL direct trade under existing circumstances,
we must look to the opening future. That
invites to energy and activity in the business
of direct expectation and importation. In Il
few years the trade across the lsthmus, will
be of a magnitude scarcely dreamed OF now.
Nature seems to have united the Northern
and Southern continents by narrow strip
Of land for the express purpose of permitting
covenent crossing place from ocean to
ocean. 1t would be Il reproach to Southern
cities to permit trade from the Pacific to pass
by them TO great distances for want Of sui
table and accommodating markets in them
The South is not altogether dependent
upon Europe for its foreign trade. The
whole of South America besides the Pacific
trade. is open to her enterprise. Some OF the
countries of South America are blessed by
nature with sthe most magnificent rivers,
which flow for thousand Of miles through
land whose fertility is not cgualled by that Of
the Valley Of the Nile. Millions of acres in
Brazil and in other countries of that sertion,
not even vet explored are equal to the best
in the valley of the Mississippi, and much of
it is far superior. The richest products of
the soil are obtained there with but little
labor, nature having endowed it with fruit
fulness, a true account of which seems to bor-
der on the extravagancics of fiction. In many
parts within the tropics and particularly un-
der the Equatorial line, perpetual summer
reigns with its ever producing and genial
power. There tho leaves never fall, and
fruits grow and ripen upon trees whose foil
age never change its beautiful hucs.
1t is better for the South to arouse at a
ato period than not at all With the bright
prospects before her, there is every reason
for her to act promptly and vigorously OIL
this important question. We hope the press
generally will favor the proposition to hold
Southern Commercial Convcntion.-C0n-

Direct Foreign Trade of the
South.

The Knoxville Plebcian of n recent date
proposed that q Convention ofSouthern Far
mers, Merchants and Planters, should be held
10 take into consideration the question of 4
direct trade of the South with foreign coun-
tries. That paper presents various reasons
why all these leading interests should be
represented in general Southern Conven-
tion and adds:
"Sucll an assemblagc we believe would do
more towards fastening the accomplishment
Of the great purpose than any thing else that
could be conceived of. It is scheme too
gigantic to be effected now by few mercan-
tile leagues, or by the single arm of either
one of onr seaport cities. The Northern
competition would most surely crush such an
unsupported effort If effected at aI it must
be done through the united effort Of the entire
South.
From the tone of the press and the general
interest every where manifested on The sub
ject. we believe that such combination of
strength can be secured, ard The Southern
States be brought into the adoption of some
definite plan ofaction. By bringing the pro-
duccr in half the battle is fought, and co-

great classes of the community. The farmer
and planter will go home with more thorough
knowledge Of the subject and more perfect
view of its Importance, and df1use it through
Ills ncighbors, and thus the merchant and cap
italst will be encouraged and the people
every where committed in truth to the great
question of direct trade"
1t accompanied its remarks with republi-
cation Of the resolutions adopted by the
Merchants Convention held in this City, on
the ID day of April, 1888. As they cortain
much that is us appropriate now as it WAS
then to the object in view. we also insert them
in our own columns to-day.
Nothing can be clearer than that "the in
tcrvcntion Of third party" in carrying be-
tween two nations their respective prodnc-
tions "must operate rs i tax upon the en-
changes between them
How or in what way the means could best
be raised and the efforts Of interested parties
most effectively concentrated to bring about
an extensive and lucrative direct trade with
other nations, We do not propose to show.
That would be 4 part Of the Legitimate bust
ness OF the Convention, should one be held.

The Minority Report IN. W OH
the Maine Liquor Law.

THE following portion iof an article which
appeared in New York Herald. of a recent
date, we publish at the &quest of friend.
Some Of the views presented are striking,
and the whole article isawell worth every
readers attention. ThisAucstion of Tenn
perance" seems 10 be creeping upon us in
the shape it has assumed in the Northern
States and we would not be much surprized
if attempts at Legislation were set on foot
even in South Carolina within few years
If so, we have no hesitation in saying that
as at present advised, We shall adopt the
principles below set forth, by the "HeraM"
In the first place, the minority report shows
that the very title of the bill reported by the
majority is deceptive. Ills :" IN act entitled
IN act to prevent pauperism and crime, by
the suppression of drinking and tippling hou-
SEES" This title ASSUMES that spurious Ii.
quor is the sole parent of pauperism and
crime, which is contrary3o reason and expc-
rience A regard for the morals, prosperity
and wealth of the Statciiis the pretext that
has been employed in every age to cover the
designs of tyranny aud flnaticism. Sump-
tuary laws were enacted il remote times and
and counlrics-Rome, England, France, and
Sweden-and all withouteffect They were
enacted in the early settlement of Massachrl-
sctls and Connecticut, and EVEN in the State
of New York. These lays were either for
malIy repealed or became practically dead
letter. Chancellor Kent, in lis commenta-
ries, condemns all such laws in the following
terms :" Civil government is not entitled,
in ordinary cases and asia general rule, 10
regulate the use of propSty in tile hands of
the owners by sumptuarA Alaws, or any other
visionary schemes of fruEllity and equality.
No such fatal union necessarily exists be.

wealth and national corrSbtion, in the har-
monious arrangements ofl'rovidence Lib

of the government, the administration of JUS

it has very little concern @iill the equality of
and frugaliiy ofiving, or the varic-

Northern cniusiasm is now stale and fiat:
after having shown itself Improbable. 1t
has effected no object that either true patri-
OTIS or deep rogues could greatly rejoice
over. 1t has made the country ridiculous.
1t has broken up for a time our good under

moral soundness of the public opinion Of
this country, which, for 4 time at least, will
weaken the faith of other nations in our pub

nably done. But it has perhaps also done
some good. 1t has subjected the principles
of our foreign policy 10 searching scrutiny.

other single gage Of our history, that the

"That no man who has once heartily and

the cypher.kcy wherewith we decipher
the whole man Some men wear an
everlasting barren simper; in the smiles
of the others lies cold glitter, as Of ice;

whiting huskey cachination, as if they
were laughing through wool; of none
such comes good. The man who cannot
laugh is only fit for treasons, stratagems,
or spoils; and his whole life is already
treason and stratagem.

The Convention,

The Unionville Journal thus concludes an
article on what the Convention might do.
We are persuaded that, notwithstanding
the past, that convention may do much to.
wards sustaining the character and honor of
the States. Although they cannot carry ont
that measure which most of the members
were pledged TO advocate previous to their
election, nevertheless they may, by manly,
digniied course of legislation, still uphold
the dignity of the State. Since the first d.
vision of parties amongst US, there has been
small faction opposed 10 all resistance.
This party first struggled into life in noto-
rions mountain region in this State. Curses,
loud and deep, sprung from every portion of
the State, when it was known that there ex-
listed those within our borders who not only
opposed separate secession, but even adro-
Gated and approved the compromise.
But what change has taken place since
then !. That party, then small and coutempti-
bic, in point of numerical strength, has in.
creased, until now the number Of Unionists,
Compromise men, or call them what you
may, in South Carolina, is neither small or
powcrless.
We say therefore, the Convention can do
much towards preventing the formation of n
great Union party in our State. They may,
by taking proper steps towards an expression
OF the true sentiments Of the majority of the
people, crush this party no,o-they may put
the seal of their condemnation upon its mem
bers and their principles-and thus, though
South Carolina may not be taken out of
the Union, she may still keep up that spirit
of opposition 10 its measures which was
once so universal throughout her borders.
And when the time shall come, when the
entire south, irritated and exasperated be-
yond endurance by further encroachments
upon their rights, shall rise up and declare
their determination to dissolve union which
has been only an engine of oppression to
her, South Carolina will be amongst the
foremost in the struggle, and her patriotic
efforts will not be without their reward

abuses inflicted on American citizens by the
