The other day I made a call, a. IS.
AS ladies' sometimes do,
TO hear the news my friends could tell,
And tell them what knew, ~a
And as we sat In social chat @t
Ger steaming cups of tea,
81 don't know what we're coming to!"
Says Mrs. Smith, says che. %
They're making laws at such rate,
1t almost drives me wild; n ~
They do not care for God, think,
For woman, man or child; s., ~,
They've forced the negro in tho cars,
Along with you aud me,
And who knows where they'll force then
next?"
Says Mrs! Smith, says che.
Their children arc to go to school,
Along with yours and mine,
And If we white folks should object,
Our rights we eau resign;
All social lines must be removed,
Because the blacks are free
Such things are not to be endured"
Says Mrs. Smith, says she.
"And not content with all these gifts,
Bestowed with lavish hand,
The negroes must be fed and clothed
Throughout the Southern land:
The taxes now are high enough,
But what they may yet hn,
'Tis not in human power guess
Says Mrs. Smith, says she.

JAMAICA The planters Of jamaica
are much excited against the tax laid
by the new Government on houses
and lands. Some, of them own hun
| dreds and thousands of acres, on
which they have paid no tax for
years. The Colonial Standard coun-
ellis resistance, and the Government
has ordered tax collectors to proceed
in enforcing the law. The new plan
f! for organizing courts of Justice, SINH
lar to those of England, is resisted
rs an innovation.
The New SOUTHERN TEXTILE. The
New Orleans Picdyune speaks thus of
the new textile plant that is to super
cede the cotton plant. It is called the
Ramie. Roots set out on the 23d of
March have sent up vigorous shoots,
which are now five inches high. It
shows strong tendency 20 spread, and
initiating in this respect the low
growing wild rose called "Bridal
Rose, having leaf quite like it
when small, and of like color-a
bright light green.
Concerning the Pope, the Roman
correspondent of the Pal Nal Go
sette writes: "Rome has lately been
uneasy about the Pope, who has
again been suffering from his bad
leg and the swoons caused by the
pain. The Holy Father, who is very
sensitive to rumors on this subject,
hastened to rc-assure the public by ap-
pearing in the streets; and last Sat
urday he proceeded on foot down the
Corso."
In the free city of Bremen, n sim
gular custom Of taxation prevails.
The Government announces the sum
that it requires, and chest is placed
in the town house, to which every
taxpayer brings the proportion
which he judges it right for him to
pay. The amount of tax received
has never failed to surpass the esti-
mate of the public necessities.
It appears that the excessive wet
and cold rains this spring have not
been without some small benefits.
1t is stated that those claiming to be
acquainted with the fact, that the
caterpillars, or army worm, which
stripped the trees of their foliage last
year, hove been entirely destroyed.
The Nashville blacks have declared
an intention to have their shaving
done in the barber shops. They con-
tend that they have just the same
rights in the shops that the whites
have, and will claim their seats by
tim.
In last March, the first steam fire
engine was introduced into China.
The press of Hong Kong now consi-
ders this invention Of barbarians a
very good thing, and advocates in-
creasing the number to four.

A writer in one Of the New York
weeklies has much to say against the
adaptedness of what is called "intel-
lectual preaching" to Sunday au-
diences. He maintains that allusions
to astronomy, geology and physiolo-
gy are out of place in the pulpit. II
is reasonable, however, to suppose
that the works of the Creator are as
high and worthy manifestation OF
himself as his word.

REACY.MADE CLOTHING.

TIME ladies', gentlemen and young pee
i pie OF Columbia, who may be in want
of SOMETHING TO WEAR" are respect
fully anu earnestly invited by the ladies OF
the Industrial Association to call at their
Work-room, in the Female Academy, and
examine tho articles which they have now
ready for sale. Some one will always be
found ready to exhibit ther ready made gar
ments and to receive orders from those
who may wish to have work done neatly
and promptly.
The object of the Association is to fur
nish constant employment to those who,
having, been impoverished by the war, now
depend on the needle for daily bread
Does not such an object commend itself I'd
the hearts Of our citizens? Or must thd
anxious applicants for work be told thai
Ourpeople prefer Northern made garments
and that there is, therefore, no more worI

A good thing is told of the Presi-
dent in Raleigh. While responding

given him, he used the expression,

exclaimed, with perfect delight,

A SENSIBLE CLERGyMAN.-An old
Florida Methodist, who had been an

female seminary, in the coure of con-

petticoat government-and I like

evidently had not impaired the acute
