WHITE LABOR AT THE SoUTH.-It is often
asserted that none but the colored race can
endure the heat of the South. To this it is
replied ssThere is not one single rood of the
Southern States beneath tropical sun. Ev-
cry acre of our Slave States lies within the
temperate zone. The isotheImal line which
passes through Savannah, Georgia, also passes
through Madrid and Rome, where no white
man dreams of any incapacity to labor. ssIn
the extreme South,'' says Cassius NJ. Clay,
sat New Orleans, the laboring men, the steve
dores, and hackmen, on the levee, where the
heat is intensified by the proximity of the red
brick buildings, are all white men, and they
are in the full enjoyment of health.'' "The
steady heat of our summers" says Governor
Hammond of South Carolina, sis not so pros
trating, as the short, but frequent and sudden
bursts of Northern summers "Here, in
New Orleans" says DR.. Cartwright, ssthe lar
ger part of the drudgery work requiring expo
sure to the sun. such as railroad making, street
paving, dray driving, dtchiDg and building,
is performed by white people," Every well
informed man knows that in Texas, where the
Germans will not employ slave labor, these
hardy emigrants from the North of Europe,
produce with their own hands, more cotton to
the acre than the slaves.''

THE LIGHT AT HOME.

The light at home. how bright it beams,
When evening shades around us fail
And from the lattice, far 1t CLEANS
To love, and rest. and common cali.
When wearied with the tolls OF day.
Ard strife for glory, gold or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where loving lips will lisp our name,
Around the light at home.
When through the dark and stormy night
The wayward wanderer homew ard flies,
How ch eering is that twinkling light
Which through the forest gloom he spies !!
1t is the light at home-he feels
That loving hearts will greet him there;
And softly through his bosom steals
That joy that banishes his care,
Around the light at home.
The light at home whene'er at last
1t greets the seaman through the storm,
He feels no more the chilling blast
That beats upon his manly form.
Long years upon the sea have fed
Since dear ones gave parting kiss,
But the sad tears which then were shed
VIII now be paid with rapturous bliss,
Around the light at home.
The light at home. how still and sweet
1t peeps from yonder cottage door,
The weary laborer to greet,
When the rough tolls of day are o'er.
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams impart-
The cheerful hopes and.joys that flow.
And lightens up the heaviest heart,
Around the light at home.

AN owners RIGHT TO THE SOIL FRONTING
ON STREETs.-Judge Mellon decided on We'd
nesday. says the Pttsburg Dispatch of March 5,
that all parties owning ground fronting on
streets and alleys, are entitled to the soil to
the middle thereof, and that city or borough
has no other than right of way therein, and
such other acts upon them as may be neces-
sary to keep them in repair; that city or
borough cannot excavate the stone, gravel,
sand, or other material therein, for the pur-
pose of making merchandise of it, nor author
ize any one to do so and that the owner of a
lot or alley can sustain an action of trespass
against any one entering into the street or al
ley in front of him, between the line of his
lot and the middle of the street, for the pur-
pose of taking out material, or for disposing
thereof to others. Under this decision, the
jury in the case of Charles Slipper, and David
Graham VS. Samuel Hood rendered verdict
of $780, The authorities of Manchester gave
defendant the privilege to remove sand from
the street fronting plaintiffs property in that
borough, and suit for trespass being brought,
it resulted as above stated.

KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRcLK.-The inev-
liable Gen. Geo. Beckley, K. q. c., turns up
in Louisville. He denies most energetically
that the organization OF which he claims to be
the head aims to subvert the Government.
To use his own emphatic language: "The
X. q. G. is an institution, even in Louisville,
and will be the very first TO respond when
call is made for the defenders of the State
1t has rendered 1900 troops to South Caro-
lima, and will give $4,000 if she needs them
and it can give the Federal Government 1885,
600 to fight foreign foe, but not one to fight
Southern State. Now, sir, hope shall be
clearly understood. We look only 10 the .7naer-
icanisdtion Of Merico; yet the defence of our
own homes is paramount duty. II ever
there has been a movement set on foot TO
settle forever the Slavery question, and bal
ance the political powers of the North and
South, and thereby perpetuate the Union, the
K. G. G.. have made the movement"

MEAT PRESERVED IN MoLAssEs.-ssSugar
cured hams' have long been in fashion in this
country. They are moderately salted, and
sugar or molasses added to assists in their
preservation. In France, all sorts of fresh
meats have been preserved by molasses alone.
An article in L'1nvention asserts that meat
may be preserved by molasses alone in the
most perfect manner, and with the following
important advantages 1T has agreeable
flavor. it produces no scurvy or other disor-
ders which result from the use of salt food,
and it may be prepared at a moderate price.
The process consists simply in cutting the
meat in pieces of moderate size and dropping
them into the molasses, such as is obtained
from the sugar manufactures or refners. BY
natural process of exosmose the lighther
juice of the meat passes out, and the heavier
molasses penetrates inward to every part of
the meat. When the external molasses has
acquired a certain degree of liquidity from the
mixture of the juice of the meat, it is sure
sign that the meat is thoroughly impregnated.
1t is now taken out of the molasses, thorough
ly washed, and hung in current of air to dry.
After it is completely dry, it may be packed
in boxes and sent all over the world without
experiencing any change whatever.

TAKEN ABACK.-One of the ridiculous mis-
haps which will sometimes befall soldiers, be-
fell whole file of the snuggly attired militia
ry of New Orleans on the day of TwIggs re-
ception. They were drawn up along the street
in front of a building in course of construc-
ton, and close in their rear was long mortar
bed, two feet deep, with that plastic compost
ton, ready for the workmen. The space be-
tween the files for the passage of the carriages
being rather narrow, the officer ordered his
men to take step back. They did so, and
about twenty feet of s'sogers' instantaneously
disappeared from sight backwards, the front
file, in close order, prevailing the rear rank
from recovering themselves when their heels
stumbled against the mortar bed. They were
submerged, and every soldier of them had his
pretty uniform, spoiled. They took cabs and
absquatulated Instanter.

THE DARK SPIRIT OF SLAvERY.-The At
lanta (Georgia) Inteiiigencer gives the follow
ing notice of Judge Harris charge to the
Grand Jury in that town, on Monday. the 4th
instant: 'sJudge Harris said, among other
good things, that our Government was now
permanently, stable, and fixed, and that it was
the duty OF all good citizens to maintain and
support it. There must be no looking back.
no working for reconstruction, for in the
nature of things this could not be. Men who
reside among us must work for us, and with
us. IF they take any part directly or Indirect
ly, against us, it is plotting treason. and they
must suffer the consequences. Incendiaries
and incendiarism must be crushed out.''
Few more atrocious sentiments were utter
ed in France during the rule of Robiberre,
Murat and Danton than the above. A govern
ment actuated by suoh spirit must of neces-
sity be short lived, and end in bloody catas-
trophe. Let them alone-they will do the
work themselves.

The Anti-Slavery Standard denounces the
Presidents Inaugural with degree of vigor-
ous vehemence which will be eminently con-
soling to those who have feared its radical
tendencies. 1t denounces him for not being
sectional in his sentiments and his policy, for
not recognizing disunion as an accomplished
fact and for trying still to preserve the Un-
ION. These are precisely the reasons why
sensible men approve it.
