GIVES HIM UP.

Our good friend John Bull. who spent
some thirty five millions of dollars, thirty
years ago, or thereabouts, to try the ex-
pertinent of getting the African to govern
himself and become a civilized, Christian
creature, has about come to the conclusion
that it was bad investment. The events
now and recently in progress in the once
pet and petted colony of Jamaica, have
opened the old gentleman eyes-and hence
we have such powerful organs of British
public opinion as the London Times, as in
ft of disgust, declaring now that
"The atrocities that have been commit
ted in the island remind one of the Sepoy
mutiny, and prove that, despite all posi-
bic advantages, it is impossible to eradicate
the original savageness of the African
blood.
1t may be that the fallen fortunes of the
island will fall still lower now that it is
known that not even thirty years of
freedom and full political rights are capable
of giving the Jamaica negro the instincts
of civilized man. That he was incorrigibly
idle was known by experience, since it has
been necessary to bring coolies half round
the globe to do the work which he refused,
but it might have been hoped that he had
lost the worst instincts of the race, and the
atrocities of st. Domingo would not be re-
peated in free and evangelized Jamaica.
The lesson comes at an important time, and
shows how cautious the American States
should be in dealing with their great popu-
lation Of Africans. Though we should be
sorry to see this event made use of as an
argument against giving the colored man
due political rights, and even the suffrage,
on such conditions as well devised property
qualification would impose, yet we are con-
vinced that 1t is for the benefit both of the
white man and the negro, that the latter
should remain essentially under the tute-
lage of the former. It is the character OF
the race, that though individuals show
| considerable ability, and are capable of at
tanning to position which should give them
tie full rights of citizenship, yet the mass
remains very low, both intellectually and
morally. Two or three generations hence
instruction and increased civilization may
have made a change. but every age legis-
lates for its own wants and according to ite
own cessanastances; and it SINS to us that
the .bess icy for any people who have
to deal with the black race is to keep a
= strong hand over them"

Truth Stranger than Fiction.

The past history of the families of Louis
Napoleon and the Sultan of Turkey is full
ofinteresting and marvellous incidents, some
of which are probably not generally known
to our readers.
These two monarchs, few years ago, so
cordially united in the struggle to maintain
the integrity of the Ottoman Empire, are
both descendants of American ladies; the
one a grandson, and the other a great
grandson. These ladies were born in the
same neighborhood, on the Island of Mar
Unique, one Of the West Indies. They
we're of French origin, asd companions and
intimate friends in childhood and youth.
They were Josephine de Tasoher and Miss
s.. The history Of Josephine is gener-
ally known. She went to France, and was
married to M. de Beauharnais, by whom
she had one son, Eugene, and a daughter,
Hortense. Some time after the death of
Beauharnais, Josephine was married to
Napoleon Bonaparte, and become Empress

Gen Sherman, in external appearance an

Johnson, for Cincinnati.
Both these gentlemen are vigorous and

Facts About Milk

Cream cannot rise throagh great depth
of raIlk If, therefore, milk is desired to
retain its cream for time, it should be put
into deep, narrow dish; and if it be de-
sired to free it most completely of cream,
it should be put into broad shallow dish,
not much exceeding one inch in depth.
The evolving of cream is facilitated by a
rise, and retarded by fall of temperature
of the dairy-5O degrees fahrenheit-all
the cream will probably rise in 36 hours;
but at 10 degrees 1t will perhaps rise in
half that time, and when the milk is kept
near the freazing point, the cream will rise
very slowly, because it becomes solidi6ed.
In wet and cold weather milk is less rich
than in dry and warm. The season has its
effects. The milk in spring is supposed to
be the best for drinking, and hence it would
be best for calves; in summer it is best
suited for cheese, and in autumn, the butter
keeping better than that of summer, the
cows less frequently milked, give richer
milk, and consequently more butter. The
morsing's milk is richer than that of the
evening. The last drawn milk, the "strip
pings" at each milking, and at all times and
seasons, is richer than that first MIXED,
which is ever the poorest.

The Most Consistent and Earnest Peace
Makers.

The most consistent and earnest peace
mvkers, the most sincere and efficient re-
constructionists, are the returned soldiers
of the great armies of the North and South,
now at home, but lately engaged in taking
one another's lives These men know the
value of peace, and appreciate the blessings
of civil government. They have no malig-
nifty to crafty, and with that frank and
manly honor, which the profession of arms
inspires, they are above the mean trickery
of politics. and care not a fig for the crack
of party whips, or the threats of party
whippersin. With that greatness of soul
and magnanimity, which are a soldiers
characteristic attributes, with that good
sense and sound experience, which the war
and their travels have improved and enlarg-
Ted, they contemplate the great political
questions of the day with minds imbued
with charity and unbiased by party preju-
dices and affiliations. In the presence of
the cool judgment and calm valor of the
veterans, the contemplate machinery of
demagogues. and the clap-trsp of selfish
politicians will be dirt cheap, and lament
ably unavailing. The soldiers know what
patriotism is, and who the patriots are, and
they have no mean and cOwardly revenge
to take upon a vanquished foe. The SOL
diers Of the late Northern and Southern
armies respect and like each other, because
they have fought like men; and they are
more ready to trust and honor recent
antagonist on the battlefield, than they are
one-half of the mOusing politicians SOsth

of France. Her daughter, Hortence, was
married to Louis Bonaparte, then king of
Holland; and the present Emperor of France
is her son by this marriage.
But now for the romance of the affair.
Josephine's bosom friend quilted the island
of Martinique some time before she did.
But the vessel that was carrying her to
France was attacked and taken by Algierine
coisairs, and the crew and passengers made
prisoners, but the corsair sh ip was in turn
attacked and pillaged by Tunis pirates, and
Miss S. was carried by them to CONSTANT
nople, and offered for sale as a slave. Her
extraordinary beauty and accomplishments
found her purchaser in the Sultan him
self, and she soon became the chief lady in
his seraglio, and Sultaness of Turkey. Nah
moud H., was her son; About Medic was
the son of Mahmoud, and the present Sui
tan, Abdul Aziz Khan, is the grandson of
Mahmoud.
Thus the two sOvereigns who occupy 80
large a space in the worlds eye are de-
scended from two American creole girls,
who were Playmates in their youth, and as
remarkable for their beauty and excellent
dispositions as for their varied and singu-
Jar fortunes. Both these women, in the
height of their power, remembered the
friends of their youth, and provided mu-
niiceudy for their welfare. Many of the
relatives of the Sultaness left the Island of
Martinique and settled at Constantinople,

The Sullaness died in 1911; the En-
press Josephine in 1914.

Georgia and Tennessee.

The Legislature of Georgia has passed
bill regulating the reception of testimony of
freedmen, 1t makes free persons Of color
competent witnesses to civil cases where
like persons are dependent. and in criminal
cases where the offence is against the per-
sons or property of freedmen. It provides
also that where freedmen are plaintiff and
defendant, they may make and file any aft
daVit now allowed to citizens, which shall
have the same force as if they were whites.
The joint resolution was adopted unani-
mously, to the effect that the President has
been magnanimous toward the people Of
Georgia.
Can anybody tell Us why the radical leg
islature of Tennessee refuses to pass such
bills and resolutions, unless it is that they
hope by refusing, to keep the State in SEEM

thereby secure the displeasure- -otlthe Pres.

Sherman and 10. Johnston.

The Memphis Bulletin says: "For the
first time since the deposition by Jefferson
Davis, Joseph E. Johnston met General
Sherman evening before last at the Gayoso
House. It's needless to say that the greet
ing Of these soldiers was kindly and cordial.
Hundreds of citizens called on these two
Generals whose genius lends brightest lus-

Gold Beating.

OF this wonderful business, so extensive
ly manufactured in New York, it is said
that until quite recently, the art was scar
cely praoti5ed 10 this country. What is
wanderful about it is, that
ga single grain of gold may be beaten
with the hammer SO as to cover seventy
five square inches, which would leave It
less than the $50, o,oOoth part of an inch in
thickness, or requiring more than million
sheets to make pile three inches high.
This would be about the ,2Ooth par of
the thickness of common printing-paper,
and is owing to the extreme tenacity of
gold. A pound Of gold m ay be drawn into
a wire that would reach around the globe.
A silver wiEs, coated with the thinnest
wash of gold, may be drawn out to an in
definite extont without breaking the coating
SO much that defect could be discove4ed,
even with microscope, The gold which
is used for beating is very silently alloyed
with silver and copper, unless the leaf is to
be exposed TO the weather, when pure is
used"

The LONDON TIMEs.-It is stated that
this leading journal of the world circulates
more than $4,000 copies daily. 1t was
established January /, 1885, by John Wal
ter; in 1908, his son, John Walter, Jr.,
succeeded to the management; and in 1897
he in turn was followed by his son, John
Walter, the third, the present publisher.
The Times has secured it's immense infu-
ence by literary merit, accuracy, and enter
prise, and chiefly by faithfully following,
instead of leading, public sentiment. It
yields its proprietors a net profit of about
S225,OOO year. When the secret last
leaked out, its editor was John Delane, who
was associated with Mowbray Morris, the
manager. Besides a host of reporters,
there are numerous departments, with sub
editor at the head of each.

The Southern Trade.

The New York Express says the progress
Of The Southern trade since the suspension
of the rebellion attracts attention. In cot
ton, some eleven hundred thousand bales
have been delivered at Northern and West
ern ports and towns, and at the estimated
value of 100000, COO. Most Of this has
been paid for in money, which is at this
time being applied to the development q
the industry Of the South. Mobile, n
Orleans. Memphis, Nashville, saYann
Richmond and Wilmington, are growifs
wonderfully At Savannah, where, before
the war, there were but two or three steam
boats running to New York, there now are
FIVE lines of steamships, or fourteen first
class steamships in all. There is also a
line between Savanna and Philadelphia and
Boston direct, and two to Liverpool, with
two lines Of boats with Charleston, tw
with Florida, and between Savannah ani
Augusta there are four boats--in all sixte
steamers.

MAGNIFICENT DONATION. - One of the
noblest and most judicious acts of liberality
a2d enterprise which has occurred in the
present era, is the loan by Adams Express
Company of 100000 of its accumulated
capital to several of the Southern railroads,
to enable them to resume operations. The
New Orleans Picayune says, this company
by such donati rs. attests it's great wisdom,
and establishes new claims to the support
and patronage of the people of theaSOuth.
A like liberality upon the part d other
large capitalists who are interested in our
prosperity. would soon restore. nay, give
new and greater impulse to our progress
and prosperity, and make the South what
we believe it is destined in not many years
to become, the most fOurishing portion OF
this continent.

ASHES OF GLORY.
BY A. J. REoU1ER.

Fold up the gorgeo us silken sun,
By bleeding martyrs blest,
And keep the laurels it has won
Above its place of rest.
No trumpet's note need harshly blaze
No drum funeral roll
Nor trailing sables drape the bier
That frees dauntless soul
1t lived with Lee, and decked his brow
From Fate's empyral Palm:
1t sleeps the sleep of Jackson now
AS spotless and as calm.
1t was outnumbered-not outdone;
And they shall shuddering tell,
Who struck the blow, its Istesteun
Elashed ruin as it fell.

With death across the. heaving seas

And Orient dreams disgorge;

And Lion of st. George,

Round its staff tits dropping dreary:
Furl it, fold it, it is best;
For there's not man to wave it,
And there not sword to save it,

And its foes now scorn and brave it

And the valiant hosts are scattered,

Hard to think there's none to hold it;
Hard that those who once unrolled it
Now must furI it with q sigh.
Furl that Banner furl it sadly;
Once ten thousands hailed it gladly,
And ten thousands wildly, madly,

Swore that foemen's sword could mover
Hearts like theirs entwined dissever,

While around it sounds the waillng

For, though conquered, they adore it.
Low the cold dead hands that bore it,

Pardon those who trailed and tore it.
