A CITY OF TRUE BENEyoLENCE.

From the Richmond Times.
Baltimore will ever be enshrined In the
memories and affections Of the Southern..peo-
pie. That city and its people have SIM
pathized with lis in prosperity and adversely
And now in the hour of our own poverty
and suffering they have not forgotten us.
Theirs has been love without reward, kind
ness without recompense, save in our eter-
nal gratitude.
The plan lately put on foot by hundreds,
nay thousands of the noble men and women
Of Baltimore, to hold great fair or bazaar
in their city shortly after Easter, for the
benefit of the suffering and poverty-stricken
people of the South, is a noble evidence
of the love and charity of Baltimore.
Speaking for our people, we find difficulty
in expressing all we feel, when we contem-
plate this touching example of sublime
charity, so nobly displayed by the people of
baltimore. This is no ordinary fair which
they are inaugurating, but il is gigantic
effort OF humanity and love; it is the SUI
stantal utterance Of great-souled men and
noble-hearted women who have heard fhe
cry of distress which has gone up from our
people, and having heard it, respond in acts
and not In trordS. We shall not forget it.
1t inds grateful echo in our breasts and
cheers us by its tones even as the voice of a
loved friend brings to the house of grief and
suffering.
In the bleak moral desert of this cold and
selfish world, Baltimore greets us with an
oasis oflove and compassion. COP bless her
lovely women and whole-souled menl AL
ready are their names and memories dear
and sacred to many of our sons and brothers,
who once languished and pined in prison.
The deed of holy charity with which they
now crown themselves will fill the measure
of their fame, and cause their memories to
shine with celestial light The aid which
they shall render to our suffering people will
send a ray of happiness to many darkened
household, whose inmates, fed and clothed
by the beautiful charity of Baltimore, will
bless her name and pray for her people.

BEECHERS' LAST.

In his last lecuture, Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, thus discourses on what the South
wants:
will now glance at the state of feeling in
the South. When we consider what they
suffered, who they were that suffered; when
l consider where they started from and
where they brought up, when | consider the
whole history of the case, the state of public
feeling South is far more peaceful then we
could expect. 1t is bad enough, but is far
better than we could expect Letter. writers,
travellers, say reconstructed South" a
nice condition the South is in to be recon-
structed."" They are our bitter enemies;
they gnash their teeth and ALL
l wonder if you think that after you
soundly whip man that he is going to
thank you for it. Do you suppose that
General Lee when he surrendered should
have thrown his hands around General
Grants neck and thanked him for whipping
him and compelling him to surrender? or
that General Johnston should have regarded
Sherman as his benefactor? And should the
South go upon its knees when it sees a Yam
kee, and say "God bless you, Yankee, for
all you have done for me?" These men that
talk thus do not like the state of feeling at
the South. The Yankees tell us that the
South is not fit to be reconstructed. Hyou
do not take the South in till she heals Of
her wounds, you will not take her in for a
long time tc come. Human nature does not
run this way. II is not question of abstract
justice; it is practical question, and you
must decide according to known law and
human nature.
| know the South will feel sore. They be-
lieyed in their cause; they were defeated, and
a greater disaster could not befall them.
They lost everything-deep gloom over
hangs them, and profound sorrow Expresses
them, and they are expected to give evidence
of thankfulness and joy. They must first
have the hand ofkindness stretched to them
You must give them new hopes. New bust
ness will lead them to forget old graves; new
thoughts will check old tears Kindness
and business, that is what they want.

; Singular Fact-1he Locality Of the
Presidents.

The Cincinnati Inquirer calls attention TO
the singular fact that The opposition to the
Democracy, which has always made il a sub
iect Of complaint, that 50 many Of our PreSi-
dents were taken from the South, has nomi-
mated none but Southern born Presidents
itself for near forty years-that is, during
all the term of the anti-slayery agitation,
when the complaint was heard. Thus, in
1882, they nominated Henry Clay, Ken
uckian, a native Of Virginia, for President
In 1886 they selected VIM. III. Harrison, n
scion of one Of the first families of Virginia,
where he was born, for this Office. In 1910
they selected this Nirginian again, and put
up with him for Vice President John Tyler,
another Nirginian. Tyler became President.
In 1874 they again nominated the Virgin
ian Kentuckian, Henry Clay, for President
In lS4S they went 10 the extreme South,
and selected another spn Of Virginia, Gen.
Taylor as their standard bearer. , In 1852
they again went 10 Virginia and selected
another distinguished son Of that State, Gen.
Winfield Scott, Tor President, and they put
with him, for Vice President, Mr. Graham
OF North Carolina. In 1856 they voted for
John c. Fremont, a South Carolinian by
birth and Missourian by adoption and
family connections. In 1850 they elected
Abraham Lincoln, a Kentuekian, and in
1864 they reelected him, and with him
Andrew johnson, native Of North Caro-
lima and resident Of Tennessee, Tor Vice
President Thus we find the party declaim-
ing against the influence of Southern men,
and yet invariably selecting Southern men
by birth and education for the highest off,
oes OF the country for nearly forty years.
DUR ng most Of the time the Democracy
have voted for Nortiiern men like Van
Buren,, Cass, Pierce, Buchanan, Dougla:
and Mcclellan.

TIE rRICuINE sCARE.


A New York correspondent Of the Phila-
delphia Press, after noticing the fact that the
stories about Trichine have materially di-
minished the consumption Of pork, asserts
that they are false, and that the hogs which
have come to market this year are of an I'M
commonly fine quality, in consequence Of
the abundant corn crop Of the last season.
He adds:
II sensible folks DO not exercise more COM
mon sense on this point, there Is more real
danger that they will be devoired by the
worms which follow after a death by starva-
ton. Before we gave way entirely TO this
groundless fear about trichinR, which are
only 10 be seen by the aid Of good micro
scope, we might better glance at the hopping,
crawling jun ping, running, skipping croco-
diles, South American anacondas and four
footed beasts which inhabit the cheese we
lunch upon and the water we daily drink.
These we may observe without the aid OF n
lens, a hundred times larger in size and more
terrible in appearance than any cork screw
shaped vital thread that ever fattened on
luscious swine. The whole scare is very
absurd, and ought not to be countenanced
by decent people.

A correspondent of the Memphis A
ldRoke, writing from Artesia, Miss, says that
General STEPHEN d. LEE, formerly of the
Confederate army, has leased large plan
tation, on which he employs more than fifty
freedmen. General Lee is of the opinion
that cotton-growing for the next four or five
years viii be most lucrative. He does not
speak favorably of emigration to Mexico,
remarking that though from experience he
knows the Mexican soil to be most fertile,
he had learned sufficiently the character Of
the Mexican people to convince him that
revolutions were as natural and inevitable in
Mexico as eruptions in Mount Etna or We
suvius. He encourages all lovers of peace to
remain at home, and by honestly adhering
TO the support of President JOHNSON, and by
strict conformity to all laws and proclama-
tons, endeavor to regain the political rights
and privileges lost by the rebellion, and
restore the prosperity Of the South as speed
lily a. possible. General LEE has set good
example, and like the LEES and JoHSsToS's
Of Virginia, Is afiording an example Of good
sense and personal industry which is worthy
Of universal imitation.

BROWN DICK.

I ESTEEM MYSELF FORTUNATE IN
L being able to offer the services of this cele-
brated race horse and scarce less distinguished
stallion to the blood stock breeders of Tennessee
and States adjoining.
Ii will make the next season commencing first
of February, and ending first of July, at my
stables, six miles from NaShville on the Harding
Pike.
Brown Dick racing career was unequalled by
any horse of his day. except the renowned
Lexington.
| deem it unnecessary to present a detailed
account of his successful career upon all the
courses from Charleston to New Orleans. Ii is
sufficient to mention his great race at New Orleans
when he beat Arrow and others three miles in
5.30H, 5.2-a race unequalled at that time in
the annals of the American turf Many spectators
of that wonderful performance have assured me
he won with perfect ease, and that if he had been
permitted to go another mile ut full speed, would
have equalled, if not surpassed LexingtOn's great
race of four miles in seven minutes. nineteen and
three-quarter seconds.
Brown Dicks services will be limited to thirty
mares, besides my own, at seventy-five dollars a
season, cash, and must in all eases be paid before
the removal of the property
Mares will be kept at two dollars per week. or six
dollars per month,
All necessary attention given TO mares left in
my charge, but DO liability for accidents and
escapes.
