While tens of thousands OF stalwart,
healthy men, all over the country, are
engaged in a united aud harmonious
movement % inaugurate a custom BY
which one-third Of the day shall be spent
in manual labor, there are other tens of
thousands who labor from sun to sun,
even more than one half Of the full day.
Multi,udes Of weary, sickly women toll
all through the day in order to earn the
bread which is to maintain them. The
farmer works in the field during all the
long hours Of q hot, sultry summers
day, and at night is busted until a late
hour with pressing domestic duties-his
work is never done. Untold numbers
Of merchants and professional men are
occupied with their callings through
the whole of their waking hours, and
their sleep can scarcely bring them that
healthful rcpose which is the portion Of
the laborer. Mental labor is infinitely
more wearing and e~xhausting than man
ual, and they who thus earn their sus.
,enance, in reality enjoy life less and
live fewer years. There now appears
TO be u powerful spirit Of reform pre-
vailiug in our land, and it should
be shared by those Of every calling.
If the %day-laborer, who has hereto
fore worked ten hours out of each
twenty-four is hereafter to work but
eight, those who in other ways serve
their fellow men and carr their subsist-
ence, should unite to ameliorate their
condition. 1t is not right that the law
yer should be perpetually busted with
his duties, that the merchant and his
clerks should spend nil their time in the
counting room, or--we speak knowing
ly-that ii should be necessary for the
journalist aud editor to be busted, of.
tentimes sixteen out Of twenty-four
hours. We should endeavor to effect a
reform, aud the one great class Of work
ers should concede to the other, privi-
leges similar to those demanded for it.
self. But any such reform must pro-
press slowly; the exertions of more than
one generation are required to establish
a new custom or destroy an old one;
changes quickly effected, unless result
ing from deep-seated causes, are apt to
be of a temporary nature. Let not the
present suspicious opportunity for at
tempting reforms pass by without being
improved by every class Of our fellow
men. We have abolished slavery, in
one Of its forms, from our country-let
the slavery to the customs regulating
the hours Of labor be abolished Also

The FINEST NrsRoEs.-The finest ne
groes are the Csnnibal tribes. They
are lighter colored and tall, and their
superiority is principally shown by the
working Of iron. They work iron beau
tifully. The mountains there are cov-
cred with iron; but being warlike in
their nature, they make barbed spears,
arrows, axes and all sorts Of imple-
ments to kill each other. In that
country they kill oil their prisoners.
Strange to say they d9. not bury any of
their dead, except their kings. Those
that die Of disease are eaten up. Now
and then they 60 into %neighboring
tribes and steal their corpses. I gave
an account in my first volume of an in
stance where, within 100 yards Of a set
tlemen, ofthe missionaries at Gaboons,
they stole the corpses and went back.
These tribes are very much feared.
I told them that it was very bad to eat
human flesh, but they all said to me
that next to human flesh the gorillas'
flesh was the best. (Laughter.) said
then, "why don't you kill gorillas?"
Tney said, 1--WE cannot, because they
are too powerful" They have no guns
there, and they cannot kill the gorilla
with their spears. had great difficulty
in learning the languages, and had to
stay among them a long time to do so.
Not only that, but to come down to
their level of thinking. The difficulty
of q traveller is to come down to the
level of thinking with those negroes.
It is as difficult to come to that standard
as it 10 for the negro to come to our

AMUsEMENTs.-Me mphis was we'll pro-
vided for in the way of amusements last
evening, and almost any taste could find
something that would please it. The
big thing" was the first appearance Of
Madame Adelaide Ristori at the Green.
law Opera House, in Nedea. The au.
dience was large, and the most fashion.
able that we ever saw congregated at a
place of amusement in this city. Nearly
everybody appeared to be as delighted
as if they understood every word OF
Italian spoken by the actors and actress
es, and applauded at the proper time.
Ristori is a great actress, and shows in
every movement that she understands
her business. When we learn Italian,
and have an opportunity of understand
ing what she says, we intend writing an
able criticism on her performance. Ris-
tori appears tonight as Mary Stuart, !"
and will doubtless be greeted with full
house; for it is fashionable to 60 and
see her, and few will dare to oppose the
edicts of the world of fashion, even if
they were compelled to sit in one posi-
ton for week and listen to the most
outlandish gibberish. At the New Mem
phis Theatre, that fine young actress,
Miss Blanche DeBar, appeared as Rosa
lind in as You Like It, There was
fair attendance, and the audience was
delighted with the splendid acting of
Miss DeBar, whose beauty, grace and ge-
MUS entities her to the respect and ad
miration of all who appreciate home
talent. The lecture of DR.. Ford in aid
of the fund for the relief of the Confed-
crate widows and orphans was we'll
attended, but there was room for more.
The lecture on next Tuesday will be
better attended, for by that time our
fashionable folks will have recovered
from the Ristori fever. Judge Swayne
lectured TO a slim audience at the Union
Church The Hibernicon was poorly
attended, and the Professors yarns, in
which II" is very prominent, was lis
tened 10 by few. The panorama part of
the entertainment is very good and well
worth seeing Besides the above amuse-
ments, many whose taste led them that
way visited the New Olympic, the menag-
erie, and other places where many things
are to be seen. Much money was paid
out last night by odr citizens TO be
amused and informed. Whether they
got the worth of their money is best
known TO themselves. 1t has gone from
their gaze, never 10 return.

NEW MEMPHIS THEATRE.-0ur theatre
goers we're treated to q rich feast at the
New Memphis Theatre last evening,
when Miss Blanche DeBar appeared as
Rosalind" in the famous comedy As
You Like H. She performed the part
admirably, in a manner that any artist
might be proud Of which proved that she
possessed genius of high order and is
destined to take a position in the front
rank of American actresses. Young,
beautiful and talented, she wins the
hearts Of the audience by her chaste
and correct acting, and is de-
servedly applauded whenevr occa.
sion offers. Mr.. Wheelock and the other
members of the company gave her good
support last evening and contributed
their quota to the success Of the piece.
Tonight Miss De Bar will appear as
Capitola in the sensational drama of
The Hidden Hand. We hope she will
be greeted with full house this, and
every evening during the week, for she
deserves it.
