To SAVE Ice FROM MELTINa.-A
German chemist publishes the follow
simple method of preserving small
quantities of ice, which he has practiced
with success. Put the ice in a deep
dish or jug, cover it with plate, and
place the vessel on a pillow stuffed with
feathers, and cover the top with another
pillow carefully, by this means exclud-
ing the external air. Feathers are well
known bad conductors of heat, and in
consequence the ice is preserved from
melting. DR.. Schwartz states that he
has thus preserved six pounds of ice for
eight days. The plan is simple, and
within the reach of every household

The Negroes at the South.

There is very great mistake making in
regard to the conduct of the negroes at
the South. 1t is thought by many, that
there is, simply, a change in the consider
alton. That there is now compensated
labor, at tariff Of prices, in place of sup
port of the slaves and their families. 1t
is no such a thing. In most of the regions
of the South, the negroes are asserting
their treedom--as they understand it |!
And that is by stealing vegetables and
corn planted by the hands of their former
masters and mistresses-now reduced TO
powerfully stealing not only poultry,
but sheep and cattle and insulting the
white owners, if demonstrated with. If
the present system, as it goes in Louisi-
aua, Mississippi, Alabama, and the Caro-
linas, is continued, there will be down.
right starvation at the South, this winter.
There is something SO grand in the sub
mission of the Southern people, who "with
high minds obey' the verdict of fortune.
And they are not understood. There is
no response as there should be. They
strove for independence and separation
from the North, as their and our fathers
strove for the same, in regard to England,
in 1776. They failed. In failing they
were entitled to that generous and honor
able treatment that the spirit of Christi.
anity has imposed on the practices Of war.
They have not met this ! They have
yielded the issue for which Black Repub-
licans--leading Democrats as captivss-
made the war-Abolitiou of slavery |!
They agree to give up their slaves
They will be thankful to have the black
population taken off their hands. But
the Puritans insist on leaving the ne.
groes there. Then, as practical men, our
Southern friends ask that the negroes who
can work, may be compelled to work.
Every one that knows the indolent and
thong htless character of the negro, knows
he will never be induced to work in view
of food or recompense six months away.
1t is, indeed, piteous to see the remains
of a brave and gallant people, SO frankly,
and SO gently looking to Andrew johnson,
as President-acknowledging their con-
quered position, and ready to accept, at
his mouth, the condition of pardon. 1t is
not ,Sos.thern lips that sneer at his rude
manners, or "incoherent" remarks. Meet
ing, every day, with Confederates, and
every day receiving letters from them,
We are amazed at noticing the practical
and the quiet tone in which they express
themselves. They all look to Andrew
johnson as their best friend, and are anx-
ious he may be supported in his policy at
the North. ...
This is touching. We aver it, that
out Of hundreds of Confederates we have
met, since the peace, we have heard not
one man, and but few ,oonsen, of Southern
birth and education, uttering bitter words
against Andrew johnson or his policy.
There is something sublime in the spirit
of their resignation We put this prac-
tical point. Are they to be assisted in
establishing "a we'll regulated militia"
and an honest labor system, or are negro
barbarians to be helped in making the
South desolate waste ?-Freeman's
Journal.

Tho Test Oath in Missouri.

Judge King, of the Ray (Mo.) Circuit
Court has declared the provision of the
new Constitution requiring lawyers to take
the test oath, unconstitutional; that it is
er post tacto, retrospective, &c. Lawyers,
therefore, can practice in this court with
out taking the oath. The same questi n
is now being argued before Judge Primm
of the St. Louis Criminal Court, and will
be decided in few days.
Samuel L. Glover, one of the first law
yers of st. Louis, has notified the Circuit
Attorney that he has not taken the oath,
and that he still continues to Practice
His case will probably be brought before
the grand jury, and an indictment found
against him. This may be regarded as a
desire on the part of o prominent person
to test the validity of the oath. In many
OF the interior counties of Missouri preach.
ing in number of churches of different
denominations has been suspended by the
ministers rather than subscribe to the
oath.
The Fulton (Mo) Telegraph says the
venerable Thee Boulware, who has been
pastor OF the Old School Baptist Church,
in that place, for the last rs years, and a
preacher Of the gospel for upwards of half
century, preached his farewell sermon
to his congregation in that place on last
Sunday week-wih the intention of mov-
ing to Kentucky, where he can preach
without being required to take an oath to
qualify him to preach.
The Palmyra (Mo.) Mercury says:
San instance Of the workings of the
New Constitution was told us the other
day. A widow lady of this county, of
fine education, with large family of help.
less children dependent upon her support,
had school rendered to her in one of our
school districts, and she came to town to
qualify as a teacher, but on the New Con-
stitution oath being read to her, and in
formed that she would have to take said
oath, she informed the officer that she had
had several brothers in the Southern ar
my, and she could not help her sympathies
following them-that she had never been
guilty of any disloyal act, but could not
control her sympathies. Hence she had
to decline the situation"

Black Equality.

Richard Golden, not many months
before his death, spoke of the Mexicans
as wrctched people, incapable Of sus-
tanning a we'll ordered free Government !;
and still they occupy one Of the richest
countries in natural resources, and one
of the most attractive on the face of the
earth. But the Mexicans are inongrels
to great extent-a people of mixed
bloods and races; and this mongrel peo-
pie, where all colors are equal before the
law,' are incapable of self government.
Go farther South, and look at the nongrels
of the South American States look at
Algeria, where there is equality in color,
and mongrels enough. We find the peo-
pie incapable Of self government, and of
the great improvement and progress that
characterizes the Americans and the Eu-
ropeans, where there is no considerable
mixture of black and white blood. Equal
lty of blacks and whites socially and po-
litically, drags the white lace down, and
crpples their progress. 1t makes a
meaner, lower, more degenerate state of
society, and still surprising as it may be,
there are white men in our State urging
upon the white people the adoption Of
black equality. Hartford (Ct) Times.

HrGHwAYMEN IN HAvRE DE GRACE.
Mr. George Boyles, butcher, was stop
ped in the road about halfa mile from
Havre de Grace, on Tuesday night week,
as he was returning home in his wagon, by
two men armed with navy revolvers.
The scoundrels each presented the muz-
zles Of their pieces at his head, and de-
handed his "money or his life" They
got $50 or $40 from him, the proceeds Of
his days sales.
A stranger was drugged with chloro-
form or some other Supplying drug, at
the depot at Havre do Grace, a few nights
since, and was relieved of near 5000.
A gentleman was stopped in the streets
of the town on Wednesday night of last
week, and was requested to deliver up his
pocket book and watch. He was fortu.
nate enough not to have any pocket book
or "shins," and preferred to keep bis
watch. The robber failed to carry out his
threat to shoot.
Two men were captured in the act of
robbing Lyon & Co.'s store, and plot
discovered among some of the bridge
builders to rob the town.-Ceca Demo.

No Confscation Unless Found Guilty of
">. Treason.

I have just learned very important
recent declaration made by the President
to the Alabama delegation, who COM
planned to him of the blightipg effect of the
proceedings in confscation in that State,
and he replied to them that no confsca-
ton could take place or have legal eff
feet except after legal conviction of
parties for treason. You will at once
realize the effect Of such decision, for
it will upset and render null and void
every act of confscation that has been en-
forced at the South, as I do not believe
in any one case have parties been preyi-
ously tried and convicted of treason.
l have this information from a friend,
who says he was told it by one of the
delegation to whom it was made, all of
whom were highly gratifed by it 1t is
certainly the only proper and legal course,
for by what rule, precedent, or law, can
we punish man as traitor, without
first having proved him to be such ? 1t
is like hanging man for an alleged muir
der and then trying him. l also under
stand that Chief Justice Chase has ex-
pressed the same opinion Washington
