a Very Good Story.

We like good story, and tho last
number Of Blackaoooa furnishes ono' as
follows: =,
Some years ago, when all tho world
were mad upon tho lottarios, toe COOK =.
o gentleman drew from his hanos 'n'
savings Of some years. Her master CO.
rious to know tho cause, learned that
she had repeatedly dreamed that Ger
tain number was great prize, ana sue
bought it. He called Der fool Tor her
mains, and never omitted an occasion to
tease her upon the subject. Ono day,
however, tho master saw in tho newspa'
per, or at his booksellers county scat,
that tho mum Der vas actually the e20, 900
prize. Cook is called up, puvilier ensucs;
had known each other for years, 10th to
part, etc. = in short be proposed, and IS
accepted, insists on marriage being celc'
bra,ed next morning. Married they were;
and as the carriage took them from the
church, tho following dialogue:
"Wcll, Molly-two happy events 10
ono day. You havo married, | trust, a
GOOD husband. You have somcthin: else
Blu, FIRST, let nc ask you where you have
locked up your lottery tickct?"
She, thinking that her master was
only banterins her upon the old point
cried: Don't yc say no more about it.
I thought how it would be, and that l
never should hear ont, so sold it to
the baker Of our village for q guinea
profit; so you need never be angry with
me again about that"

WHAT WILL PAY BEST ?-This is o
natural question Cor farmer to ask, but
nm answer is not readily given. A man
with three years experience on farm
can determine pretty nearly what crop
is bcs: suited to each section Of it, SO
fnr as quantity or yield is concerned ;
but it is not'so easy to decide what par.
ticuur product will pay best in any par
ticular year. Sometimes the potato crop
is short, md tho price Of that product
reaches u very high figure. The next
season each farmer doubles his quantity
Of potato ground, and the result is re.
bundont market and low prices. Then
follows diminished production again,
and so on, year in and year out.
This is one Of tho annoyances of trade,
and pertains to all caH;uss to certain
extent. That fayac: will succeed best
who pursucs general uniform system
diversifying his crops regularly, so that
no may have something to sell Of each
class Of products, whatever the ruling
price Of them iu the market may be.

SENATOR WILEY AND TIE SUFFRAGE
QUEsrGoN.-While the bill relating to
suffrage ia the District oS Columbia was
under discussion in Congress few weeks
ago, which provided that no distinction
on account Of race or color should be
made in the District, Senator Wiley. Of
West Va, offered an amendment, and
defined his position upon the question
Of negro suffrage.
IIc said "hc maintained that Con-
gross had no right to interfere witn sutT
rngo in the States, and said that Us he
acted from conscientious convictions, he
could not abandon his position, though
it should terminate his connection with
tho Senate. Ito did not believe that
suffrage vas a natural right; thought if
practicable, the blacks should be scpa.
rated from the whites. 1.-THE negro was
able to carry the bayouct he was ablc to
vote, and the only good reason which
could DO urged against extending the
franchise to him was in case it should
disturb the peace and security Of the
country. AS to the talk about social
equality, he did not consider every
worthless white man who voted as his
equal. It was said that it would lead to
intermarriagc among the races; ho did
not think so, but ifso the negro woHld
hare the worst Of tie bargain. Mr.. W.
then advocated his amendment, which
he said recognized the principle Of negro
suffrage.

Navigation of the Lir,

A Or. Andrews is making experiments in
aerial navigation i'll New York. On Friday
he asaendci, and though he failed to do
what he was cndeaVoring to do and thought
he could do. c., move against the wind
and steer for any particular point-he certain
~ succeeded, according to all accounts, in
turning the course of his balloon He even
turned full upon the wind, and faced it for
II short distance, when his air ship veered off
to the west oblquely. He made two efforts,
anu without succeeding descended to the
earth. 1hat-he had even partial success is
Il matter OF interest, and is something towards
staggering the creduity OF those who have
beloved that it was impossible to navigate
the air The Doctor alleges that his failure
was owing to some defect in the ruddcr of
hs vessel. The boom with which it was
projected he says was not weighty enough,
and did not strctch tight the rudder.
DIR. Andrews asserts positively that he
can produce motion in the air. lie claims
to have discovered how to make the attrac-
tion of gravitation the motor of the balloon:
the difference between the specific gravity of
the balloon and the medium in which it
floats being reduced to the practical utility
Ut motive power i'll the attainment of motion
The apparatus with which the trip was
made consisted of two balloons, formerly
used IN the army Ot the Potomac, having the
capacity Of sixty thousand cubic feet Of gas
They are obloug and sharp pointed at both
ends. They have an apparatus for contract
ing and expanding the gas, and three
cornered sail answers for the rudder. The
car hangs twenty feet below the balloon.
Three persons besides DR.. Andrews asceuded
in the balloon. The Doctor protesscs to be
only the more convinced Of the feasibility OF
h:spInu by the experiment made, and declares
that he c"n READILY obviutc the remaining
difficulties. The successful avIgation ofth
air would be wonder of the age indeed.
II has been a subject of study aud expert
r!gnt Tor many ye.lrz.-Atchntoad DipQfch.

indeed it is probable, that orders will come

Truth.

The Petersburg Lt2cc in a late editolial
article speaks these truths about the Radicals:
You are doing the negro harm and the white
man wrong. Aouarc prociaminG to the negroes
that the Southern white is his enemy; you
arc prociaiming to- the white that the negro
is keeping him out Of the Union. You are
wTonSlng the negro by roofing out Of his
nature any seit-re i nee lh0tInay have slumb-
cred there; You are wron rin- the white by
arbitrarily setting aside those laws of demand
and supply which you consider the only pro-
per regulator Of labor, " hen you are yourselves
concerned. You are prejudciing the negro
by exciting i'll his breast hopes which you
arc poweriess to satisfy; you are prejudicing
the white By denying him rights to which he
is unconditicmalIy, entitled, except upon con-
ditions which Your own example fortifes him
in declaring improper to grant.
In every mode you SOW strife between white
and black, and yet you demand guarantees
that the crop shall be }eacc.
There is no guaranty, and can be none, for
the future maintenance by this people, North
or South, OF our form Of government, except
a conviction that it is blessing To the
South it is now nothing but d curse, known
to her people solely through the tax. gatherers
the contiScatiuu agents, aud the present and
past rlunGcrers, Icvilcrs, and disturbcrs OF
her peupie.
Cun YOU afford to make this condition Of
things perpetual? Bru'e torcc mag enforce
this relation for time, but it cauno- for all
tiElc
