Not long ago the Albanians turned
an Episcopal Church into q theatre.
Now it is advertised that Universe
list Church is to be employed hence
forth as vinegar manufactory. We
expect soon to hear that some Calvi-
nistic Tabernacle has been turned
into a distillery of rose water! So
goes the world.
The latest cockneyism in language
is tho use of the phrase different TO"
instead of different from. Think,
says Quilp, of saying, ''This thing
differs to that!" Yet some Americans
are adopting this ridiculous boobyism,
both i'll writing q vocal speech, as if
it were rational improvement instead
of the most silly of affectations
The Wesleyan Methodists, some
time ago, built hall in Bishopsgate
street, London, freehold, which
cost them ESQ, 600. They have been
recently offered G157, 600 for the pro
perty. In the course of evidence
given recently before the Deputy
Recorder of London, it WAS stated
that land near st. Paul's Church yard
was worth f1, 900, 600 per acre.
A call is published in Perry County,
Ala, and signed by A B. Moore, ex-
Governor of the State; J. L. Nj.
Curry, exCongressman; and others,
requesting a meeting of the citizens
to devise some method of properly
encouraging education among the
negroes.
The recent orders given by the
different heads Of Departments that
disbursing officers shall remove all
public moneys deposited to their credit
in National Banks, to the United States
Treasury or Sub Treasures, have
created quite a rush on the Treasury
Department at Washington.
An enterprise is being inaugurated
by an ex-officer of the Freedmen's
Bureau to settle colony of whites
and blacks in Brevard, Florida. A
large number are now awaiting trans
portation.
Asoldier, who needed it, has invent
a left handed knife and fork COM
bined, with which person who has
lost his right arm can feed himself very
conveniently.
Among the American patents lately
issued is one for fan, sunshade, or
canopy, composed OF hooped frame
and wrapper, the latter provided with
draw-cases and draw strings.
The tax on manufactures in the
third and fourth districts Of Massa

799 the month before.

The Freeamc,.s Bureau.

We havenot noticed the new Freed
mems Bureau bill just, passed in
Congress. 1t extends the supremacy
Of this Bureau for three years. The
bill, as passed, protects freedmen
and directs the appointment of two
Assistant Commissioners, in addition
&c those now authorized, who shall
have charge of certain districts. The
whole new bill is a hrmbue. 1t pro
vides:
''That no person shall be deemed
destitute OF deserving of assistance
who has capacity and opportunity of
work. For the purpose Of making
the Bureau self-sustaining, tho Pre-
sident is directed to reserve from sale
or settlement, under the homestead
aud pre-emption laws, and assign to
freedmen and refugees not exceeding
million of acres Of land in Florida,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and
Arkansas. to be allotted in parcels OF
forty acres each, at Il certain rental.
The rental will 60 towards the sup
port of the Bureau. When tho price
OF each allotment Of land is paid to

The National MieUi.r,.t.r., of the
29th alt, says:

Our National Debt.

Inc following pungent article is
from the Richmond Times:
The English people and politicians
nave wonderful disposition to con-
Germ themselves with the business of
other people just now they are
discussing with degree of interest
and profundity the question of our
national debt in IL manner that is
truly refreshing. 1T is very gratify-
ing to find that we have friends
abroad who take so much solicitude
upon themselves touching our well
fare, and especially our national
debt. One would think that their
own debt furnished them enough
food for reflection, but it seems in
sufficient for their intellectual occu-
patton and enjoyment The magni-
tudc Of our debt, and the rapidity
with which it was created, seems to
have impressed them with the most
overwhelming admiration. And yet
so high is the opinion which they
pretend to have of our solvency, that
Mr.. Gladstone, i'll recent speech,
characterized our debt as a mere
''tica bite" Heaven protect us from
such ''tfea bites. The bites of mad
dogs and moccasin snakes would
hardly give us greater inconvenience,
and would, perhaps, be easier to
cure than to pay off our debt.
1t Is really amusing to see what
SPANS our national debt seems to be
giving the English. Here is what
Mr.. Gladstone says abont it, and he
is not the only one who has expressed
his admiration:
The debt of the United States is
III itself something wnnderful-won-
dcrinl rs the creation of four years,
strictly of four Years, and no moro,
and yet accounting to nearly three
thousand millions of dollars, or six
hundred millions pounds, and the
rate of growth OF tho debt in the
last year exceeded, l think, two
hundred millions pounds. That is n
wonderful debt, and, its charge is
enormous. 1t is not possible, in the
present state. Of the financial ar
rulgrnents of that country, to as
certain with precision, bnt l believe
aln not wrong III saying that the
charge of THAT debt Is considerably
heavier tl.an ours, though the capital
il less
We thoroughly agree with these
Englislimcn; our debt is indeed
wonderful" So wonderful that there
are many people in the Union (not
IN the South, for the South is not in
the Union who seem to be proud of
this debt. What reflections they
make the basis OF this exhibition OF
pride, we confess ourselves utterly
unable t" discover OF explain; unless
they think that our greatness is to be
measured lv the amount of our in
drhtr,lneSS. They seem to think
that because oar debt presses with
:%r"nt,'r weight than that Of England.
We ought To Gloriiy ourselves. And
th" English seem TO be jealous that
W. have "lu:'llvl them rs debtors.

Wednesday Morning, juno 8. 1888.



Hope for the Southss
The prospect of a general war in
Europe has already begun to develop
itself in a vast emigration of the peo-
pie to this country. At the close OF
our civil war, there was an impetus in
this direction, bat the impending
general war on the other side of the
Atlantic seems to have accelerated
the migration Westward. The mr.
rivals 81. emigrants from the different
countries in Europe, for the past five
months, have been greater this year
than for the same space of time for
many years past. By late news from
Europe, lprivate letters as well as pub
hshed statements in the newspapers,)
we; learn that large numbers of emil
grants are awaiting, ct the ports of
Europe, transportation to America.
The Nashville Union and American
properly inquiries what is to be tho
result of all this extensive immigra
ton? 1t is the duty Of the philoso-
phic statesman to cast the result and
tell us whether it is good or evil for
us, aud, according to that judgment,
advise the proper steps to be taken
to encourage or check this rapid
growth of foreign population. We
do not propose to discuss the matter
now. The South now needs labor,
and we extend to all the new comers
the right hand of welcome and fellow
ship. We have fertile lands to cult
vate; We have the great staple which
has supported so many of them at
home in it's manufacture. We will
give them ample opportunities to
make a better livelihood, either in
the production or manufacture of
this staple, than they ever had at
home; and our slave system Of labor
having been done away with, the
field for the white artizan and me-
chanic is thrown open to all.
The Union and American, in closing
its article, says:
''The South is as large rs the
North, and is ready, at all times, to
compare products and resources with
any equal extent of the habitable
globe. We have been misrepresented,
and our population has been dwarfed
by the misapprehensions of the
world concerning our domestic insti-
tutions, and the unjust prejudices
created thereby. But that day has
gone by, and there is no ground for
their continuance. The Southern
people are anxious for sober, in
dustrious white population to occupy
their lands, and to have them reap
the fruits, rich, desirable and nbun-
dant, which nature and art are ever
willing to bestow. They want all
classes OF labor and enterprise-an
the capital necessary to support and
sustain it and make it profitable.
These States offer advantages for re-
munerative employment, unsurpassed
by any other portion of the world
and their people are liberal, Just and
true. Let the honest and virtuous
Immigrant come among us from any
part Of the world, and he will never
have any goo' cause to regret it."
The above paragraph is the cx-
preston of our own opinions in re-
lation to the question. We want tho
class Of labor referred to, to develop
the rich resources of the South, and,
if we can obtain it, there is a bright
future yet for the now suffering States
Of the South.
