Some FACTS roE TIE NEGROES TO Con
s1DER.-Horace Greeloy's paper says:
There arc 100000 of people in the
South, whereof at least 100000 are whites.
There il ample room there for 5O,00O,O0U
more, and crowds are focking in-all of them
whites. Europe is sending us a full thous-
and rday, aud the South protfcrs them
cheap land, genial cline, and employment
ior every sort of industrial capacity. Now
that good harvest has delivered the South
from famine, and her reconstruction is in rap
id progress, there is DO region on earth that
should attract so many Immigrants. Twenty
years hcacc we will have $4,000, 900 to 80
100000 of people, whereof the blacks will
probs5ly number 100000 or 6,O0O, ,O0O.-
Unless all the laws which have hitherto gov.
erncd the increase Of population are subvert-
cd, tho wlltos of the South must increase fast
or than the blacks by at least four to one
Not that the blacks will fail to increase also,
but they arc nowisc recruited by immigration,
and cannot be. Africa sends forth no volun,
tary cmgrants; the slave trade is on it's last
legs; and no negroes are coming to this coun-
try from, any quarter. How, then is it pos
7fible TINT tho 1905, ,e1t OF btavks in THO
country should ovcrbcar tho 100000 of
whites in the South, with the millions on the
point OF Hooking thithcr?

=" bout the 2lst of September the elliptic,
or great circle which the sun appears to de-
scribe in the heavens in the course of the
year, crosses the terrestrial equator The
point of intersection is called the equnoctial
point, or the equinox, because at that period,
from its position in relation to the sun, the
earth, as it revolves on its axis, has exactly
one-half Of its surface illumincd by the suns
rays, while the other half remains in darkness,
producing the phenomenon Of equal day and
night. all over the world. These periods
are termed, from tho seasons in which thcy
occur, the autumnal and vcrnal equinox At
this time the sun rises about six O. clock in the
morning, and sets nearly the same time in the
evening. In the autmnal equinox the sun
is passing from North to South, and consc.

crn hemisphere gradually shorten until the

nal and ycrnal equinoxcs are distinguished
over the world by the storms that prevail at
these seasons. The origin of such atmos-
pherio connections has never been very sat
isfaotorily explained, but is supposed to arise
I. from the united tidal action Of the sun and
moon on the atmosphercs; an action which at

greater force than at any other period Of the
year
