Now after the war is over, and the South is
subjugated, and the negro has been declared
Free there is but little prospect of agitation about
the negro ceasing. 1t seems that the fanatics of
the North are determined that we shall have no
rest, for they are continuing to fuss and fume and
stir the everlasting negro. Wendell Phillips and
his clan are down on'' President johnson for
not authorizing negro suffrage in North Carolina
and placing him on perfect equality with the
white man. The negro has been a source of too
much political capital and profit to Phillips. Sum-
ner & Co., for them to think of letting him quiet
ly rest with the end of the war. They and their
peculiar adherents are at the bottom of the negro
conventions now being held in the South; they
write the negro petitions asking for the right to
vote, hold Office, DC; in short they are putting
the devil in the negroes head and rendering him
useless to himself and to everybody else. Are we
to have no end to this agitation? is it not time to
talk about something else than the negro! Does
not the interest of the poor white map, North and
South. require some attention What are the
fanatics doing to benefit the thousands of poor
white laboring men, women and children at tho
North The negro here at the South will get
along pretty we'll after awhile if the fanatics and
demagogues will let him alone.
President johnson, in his proclamation in re-
gard to North Carolina. ignored the wishes OF
those pestilent agtators and radicals at the North
who are externally harping the negro. and it is
to be hoped by every lover of peace that he will
continue to give them the cold shoulder. and en-
deavor to establish real peace and prosperity.

Appropriated perfection AS nearly as any human

1t was fondy hoped that he would rally his strength

that he must expire. Like a mature christian,
he exhored his parents brothers and sisters to pre-
pare for death, that they might all meet in hea-

in Christ Such the distinctive and prominent
traits of his character his noble and generous spirit

we have wept when the funeral service pro-
crossing and the beautiful wreath Of evergreen was
placed upon his bier. The whole room was In

who were in attendance was a sufficient evidence
of their appreciation of his worth and of the respect
which they felt to be due to the familys His re-

sa The leaders in the Mexican emigration
scheme from San Francisco have been held to
answer before the United States Grand jury for
an attempted violation of the mentality laws A
public meeting of sympathy with the liberals of
Mexico had been called in San francisco. Al
though considerable feeling existed on the SUBJ
iect it is stated that the authorities would be
sustained in their efforts to maintain neutrality
Sc long as that was the policy of the govern
ment.
Having learned that considerable force of
Union soldiers-tweuty or thirty thousand men
is TO be detailed for the pacfeation and reor-
ganization of the great State of Texas, the
French Minister at Washington. the Count
Montholon, it is said, will demand an explana-
ton of HIr Seward. Mexico is SO very conven-
lent to Pexas that some of these Union troops
may, perhaps, get on the wrong side of the riv
er, and give some trouble to Macmillan. Hence
Mr. Seward will, perhaps, be required to make
az explanation.

CARELESS PEoPLE-Only the other day
our nerves were worked up to explosion
point by an account Of asurgical operation,
by which woman's trachea was opened
to remove a silver dime which had lodged
these. And how on earth did a dime ever
getin to a woman's wind-pipe? Simply be
caure she was careless, and laughing with
her mouth full of small coins. Was there
no other place where she could put her ten
cent pieces?
We do feel sorry for creeping baby
when it gets hold of the bars of the CRATE
by mistake, or cuts its fingers, or bumps its
head, but with grown people, who suffer
from their own recklessncss, we have very
little patience
What is the use of women converting
her mouth into a pin cushion, and then ex-
pecting our sympathy, when sudden
sneeze or an unexpected cough perils
her life?
What is the use of a man balancing him
sdlf on an oscillating chair, instead of sit
ting up straight like Christian? Are we
expected to find vinegar and brown paper
for the confusion on the back of his head
when he finally comes down with crash :?
What is the use of women picking their
ears with long knitting needle, as half
the women do, when child running against
her would send the instrument three inches
into her brain,i if she has any?

The BUTTERFLY AND THE SwAILow-One
bright summers day, as was riding out, a
large, richly colored butterfly rose in the
air, and kept ON it's way short distance
before me. As the beautiful creature fut-
tered amid the splendors of noon-day, dis
playing its brilliant tints, it seemed to have
reached the very acme of insect happiness.
While | watched it, of sudden something
darted from above with the speed of an
arrow, and the butterfly vanished. 1t was
a swallow in quest of food he had de-
scribed the gay insect, ,and thus suddenly
had cut short its career.
The incident may seem trivial, yet it has
its moral. Many youth are like that
butterfly, delighting in idle display, and
intent only upon pleasure. In career of
folly they journey onward towards eternity
without the suspicion of danger. How
dreadful to think that their course may be
suddenly ended, and death bear their souls
away unconverted, unprepared Young
man, cease from your dissipation, your
levity, your love Of self. Young woman,
cease from your vain thoughts, your ambi-
tion to be envied, your criminal neglect of
religion. Time has its vanites, but eter-
nifty has its verities and what compari-
son between them? Death is on the wing,
and may the next moment snatch you
from your dream of pleasure and your ca
reer of sin, The voice Of God says, "Fa,
vor is deoiteful, and beauty is vain but a
woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be
praised" "a prudent man forseeth the
the evil and hideth himself but the sim
pie pass on, and are punished"
