Horace Greedy and Gov. Perry on Uni.
verSaI Suffrage.

AUGUSTA, Dec. 6.-Horace Greedy, in
letter to Gov. Perry, says the true basis of
settlement of all our troubles is UNIVERSAL suf-
frage. He would have all disability because
of rebellion and of color utterly and abso-
lutely abolished, and strongly hopes and
trusts settlement on this basis will be made
at Washington this winter.
Gov. Perry says impartial suffrage may be
accomplished by permitting all persons
black and white, to vote, who are twenty
one years of age, but the Southern people
will never consent to this. as it would degrade
the right of suffrage and demoralize the Gov
ernment and society if proposed. To en-
franchise the negroes who could read and
write and hold property qualification, with
out DISTINGUISHING white persons. might with
reason and propriety be acceded to by the
southern States.
Gov. Perry strongly urges national con-
vention for the adjustment of all difficulties,
and thinks an association of loyal patriotic,
and virtuous men from all parts of the coun-
try would have salutary influence in adj
justing the present difficulties

ABOUT LAcE.-DoG SMUGGLERs.-Flan-
ders, OF as we now call it, Belgium, has al
ways been famous for the manufacture of
lace, one fortieth of the whole population, or
about 150, 900 women and young girls being
engaged in it. Charles 1, of Spain, when
the country was. under his dominion, COM
manded it to be taught in schools and con-
vents, and to learn the art is still part of
woman's education, A curious story is told
of the way in which Flemish lace used to be
struggled into France by means of dogs
trained for the purpose. 6 A dog was caress-
eel and petted at home, fed on the fat of
the land, then, after season, sent across the
frontier, where he was tied up, halfstarved,
and ill-treated. The skin of bigger dog
then fitted to his body, the intervening space
filled with lace The dog was then allowed
to escape and make his way home, where he
was kindly welcomed with his contraband
charge" This cruel practice was at length
stopped by the French Custom House au-
thorities, who detected the unfortunate four
footed smugglers. No fever than 40,27S
dogs engaged in these transactions were de-
stroyed between the years of 1920 and 1886,
Il reward of three francs being given for each.

THE HONEY ANT.-We have often heard
of the honey anti of Texas, but the account
seeming so romantic we have hitherto scarce
ly dared to credit it, but as we now have a
specimen before u.s. furnished by our friend
Lee Smith, of this city, we can no longer
have doubts on the subject. These ants are
medium size, between the large and the
small red ants, and are of reddish brown
color. Appended to the rear of each one is
translucent sack, or grobe, filled with pure
clean honey, of Il most delicious flavor. The
sack varies in size on different ants ranging
between the sizes of a buckshot and a com
mon navy pistol ball. On this sack, at short
intervals, are attached thin layers about the
length and width of half grain of rice and
of dark color evidently to strengthen it
and keep it in shape These interesting ami.
mails, when they crawl, draw their delicious
load after them, and if the sack is opened the
honey runs out, and they set themselves to
work to replenish it again. Whether they
deposit this honey in their great general res
ervolr among the rocks, to draw from it as
occasion may require, or hold and use it as
individual property, we are not informed

IMPROVEMENTS IN REFINING GOLD

IMPKOV EMENTS TEF1NING 0OLD.-
Andrew Mason, melter and refiner in the
New York assay Office, has made important
i'm provemonts in the mode of parting gold
and silver. These consist in so adjusting
melts for granulation, that the pure gold, in
stead of gold bullion, shall constitute one
third of the mixed metal and secondly, in
boiling in strong sulphuric acid after one
treatment in nitric acid. The one charge of
nitric acid is larger than the first in the old
process, but twenty per cent. less than the
amount in both while the consumption of
fuel is greatly reduced, and much disagreed
BILE labor is avoided. These Improvements
have been successfully tested, and it is esti-
mated that the savings in one years business
will amount to about $75, O00.- Washington

An exchange states that the Georgia Leg
islature is considering a bill for the educa-
ton of MANNED soldiers of that State, with
view to their future employment as teach
ers in common schools.
We believe that some similar provision in
relation to widows and daughters of soldiers
are found in our laws, enacted during the
war.
Manned soldiers, with education, would
make good teachers. AS we say this, we
also hold that it is matter above politics
or political feeling; for anything that can
be done, without involving the fate of these
unfortunates in the success of either politi-
cal party, should be done towards rendering
them useful and selfsupporting members of
society.
