" Negro WOrShiDUerS."

The Slavocrats characterize the Republicans as
NEGRO worshippers" Who are the real Negro
worShippers2 1t is a principle Of human nature,
that man will worship that which he holds most
dear. Who own and will not let 60 their grasp
upon 100000, 900 dollars worth Of negro chat
tel property in the United States? Surely, not
the Republicans. Who say TO the 100000
slaves of the South-"go," and they depart;
"comc," and they return? Who desire that the
bondage Of these 100000 human. beings and
thoir offspring shall be forever continued so
that their unrequited toll may be made to minis
ter TO the vanity and sensuous qualifications Of
their task sl-masters? Who contend that slavery is
Divine Institution--that the negro is inferior to
the white man, and that it is rig to hold him in
scrvitude? Who set so high value upon the
slave that they resolve to divide the Union if
there is any interference with their rights and
control over HIM? Who love tho black men oe
we'll that they desire the slave trade to be reopen

Territories to become subject TO slavery, so that
the market for slavcs may be enlarged, and its
value thereby enhanced? In the contest now wa
ging in the United States, who stick to the negro
closer than to brother, and are resolved to re-
tain him in their households? Surely, they are
not Republicans; but the supporters of Buchanan
aud Douglas thus love aud worship the black man,
thus hug him to their bosoms, aud refuse to "let
him 60"
| The Republicans, on the other hand, say :"Tho
we regard the negro for his humanity, and will do
all we can to ameliorate his condition, and make
his life as happy as possible, yet we wish him to

is; we do not wish him TO come among us; we do
not wish his black foot to wther the grass grow.

wish the labor of white men, which is now honor
able, to become degraded and debased by coming
in contact with the labor of slaves.
Surely. the Republicans are not the negro wor
shippers. While they honor the poor unfortu
nate, as fellow immortal, and will do all they car
to elevate his depressed condition. they ask
to be relieved from the bghting influence o.
immediate association with him. This distinction

On the 10th of April, 1919, Blaudan left
Boufarick with eighteen men, doctor, a cor

to Mered. A ravine traverses the plain, over
which the road is continued by sort of bridge.
On coming within sight Of this ravine, Baudan
discovered that il was full Of Arabs, and drew
up his little band for battle. Anegro, who spoke
French, then quilted the hostile ranks, and com
ing within pistol shot, said, "Surrender, Ser.

DR.. Jones, Of New York, told the subjoined
exceedingly laughable story at the celebration Of
a Welch society, some years since, the authenti.
city Of which has been vouched for:
Editors, he said, like other shrewd men, have
to live with their eyes and ears open. have
heard related the story Of an editor who started
a paper in new village At the West. The town
was infested with gamblers, whose presence was
annoying to the citizens, who told the editor Il
he did not come out against the gamblers, they
would not take his paper He replied that he
would "give 'em smasherr the next day. And,
sure enough, his next issue did contain the pro-
missed "smasher," which did not belle its name.
On the following morning the redoubtable editor
was seated, scissors in hand, in his sanctum, cut
ting out news, when in walked large man, eudgel
in hand, and asked: .t.-e-5 4,
"Is the editor mt" ...s
"No, sir" was the reply, abe has gone out
Take seat and read the papers; he will b in
in few minutes" r.f. l...... M. u.
Down sat the indignant man Of cards, crossed
his legs with his club between them, and COM
menced reading newspaper. In the meantime
the editor quietly vamosed down stairs, and At
the landing below met another excited man with
a cudgel in his hands, who also asked: 3
"Is the editor ini" eagJ
eyes, SIR" was the prompt response; you
will find him up stairs, reading newspapers"
The latter, on entering the room, findmg the
editor prepared to meet him with his club, with
n furious oath commenced violent assault upon
the former which was resisted with equal ferocity.
The f,0bt was continued until both had rolled
down to the foot Of the stairs, and pounded each
other to their hearts content aHf
This was "equal and exact justice" al around.
and il Is to be lamented that all attacks upon
honest and free-speaking editors against great
evils should not result in similar manner

down; place a trivet or meat stand-such as is
sent to the oven when a joint is baked-in the
saucer and put on this trivet the plate Of butter;
now fill the saucer with water and turn the
howerpot over the butter, so that its bottom will
be below the water Tho hole in the Aower-pot
must be fitted with cork; the butter will then
be in what we may call an air-tight chamber.
Let the whole Of the outside Of the hower-pot be
thoroughly drenched with water, and placed in
as cool spot as you can find. If this be done
over night the butter will be as firm as rock"
at breakast-time or il placed there in the morn.
ing it will be quite hard for use at tea hour. The
reason Of this is, that when water evaporates it
produces cold; the porous pot draws up the
water which in warm weather quickly evaporates
from the sides, and thus cools il; and as no warm
air can now get at the butter, it becomes firm
and cool in the hottest day.
There may be 1870 flowers having seed vessels
on single plant Of groundsel, and in each seed
vessel there are 30 seeds. Thus one groundsel
seed is father to $500 sons, more than are visi-
BILE stars in the armament Many Of these settle
where they cannot live; many exist only to be
eaten by birds. II is not meant that all seeds
should produce plants; very many are as much
bread to the birds as seeds Of corn arc bread to
us. IT. however, by an accident, every son to
which thriving groundsel is parent, grew up,
throve, and produced seed in the same proper
tion-an impossible assumption-the descendants
of seed Of groundsel in the second generation
would exceed in number 10000 900; the tele-
scope itself has not enabled us to sec so many
stars. Chickweed is less prolific; though, in
deed, even that may produce as many as 800
seeds upon each plant But, then, look 1t the
red poppy II can yield 100 flowers from one
root, and from each flower can develop no less
than 500 seeds 90, 900 may, therefore by chance
be the number Of the offspring. Black mustard
and wild carrot produce families Of magnitude
about equal to one another One may, when in
perfection, produce 200 flowers with six seeds in
each, the other 600 flowers, with each two seeds.
One dandelion root may have 19 flowers, while
each dandelion flower yields 40 seeds. The
seeds Of one sow thistle may number $4,000.
One plant Of sinking chamomie may yield
40, 900, one plant Of May.weed 45,o0 seeds.

This column should also bear the names Of
B'audan and his twenty-One men; but it was
raised by contract and the contractor, finding
that hs was losing money by IT, would not go to
the further expense.
Two hours after this we reached Blidah. By
the modern Blidah, with its large square houses
and parallel windows stupidly arranged to admit
the burning sun Of Africa, without any relief, it
is difficult to form any idea Of the Bldah, with
its terraced Arab houses hidden amid cactus
hedges and orange groves. Yet its charming
situation could not be changed, on the lowest
slope Of Mount Atlas, nor that atmosphere Of
antiquity which makes it still a gem, If no longer
o marvel.
We were agreeably received by the chief Of a
battalion named Bourbal1, whose courage has
become proverbial even among those men whose
courage has stood every test | have never met
a more perfect type Of the French oficer-hand-
some, elegant and brave. Like most of those
who have been long in Africa, Bourbaki has
sincere affection for the Arabs, and profound
contempt for the spectators and maneuyrers
who come from France. On this point, indeed,
the general opinion is embodied in proverb
that the honest people who come from France
to Algeria come by land" Bourbali expected
US, and had prepared for an excursion into the
mountain, where we were invited to eat cous-
cousson with the Marabout Of Sidi-Capshi. Our
inviters were formerly chiefs Of the plain. We
had driven them into the '-ountain, taken their
property, and given them our alliance in exchane
