As President of the Planters Manufac-
| turers' and Mechanics Association of Mis-
| sissippi, invite the earnest attention of the
| people of the State to the action had by the
committee of Arrangements appointed at
| the January session of the Association. In
the absence of aid from the State for the
means necessary to improve the Fair
Grounds, erect suitable buildings, &C. the
committee resolved itself into Joint Stock
Company, and invite accessions from all
parts of the State. The shares for life-mem-
6erShip are fixed at so, payable in install
ments OF twenty per cent, as the demands
of the Building Committee may require.
A share holder is entitled to free admission
for himself and family, for life and to the
admission of any articles he may have for
exhibition. Those who subscribe ten dol
lars are entitled to free admission for self
and family for the year in which the same
is paid. The Committee of Arrangements
fourteen members being present-sub-
scribed seventeen shares in value $3.50.
viii not this excellent beginning be fol-
lowed up by subscriptions from every part
of the State? About ten thousand dollars
will be required. The city of Jackson will |
subscribe good portion of that sum but |
this is a matter in which our whole people |
are interested, and contributions towards |
making it a success will now be thankfully |
received.
Auxiliary Associations are earnestly in
vited to cooperate in furtherance of this
call.
1t is hoped that in counties where AssO-
Citations are not yet organized, the work
will be commenced at once; and let all, of
every trade and calling, prepare to bring to
the Fair something of home production.

What the Southern Politicians
have done.

Our Virginia friends will do well to re-
member that in the late political campaign
the Conservative State Committees OF South
Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia, with such
leaders Hampton, Gordon and Forrest at
their head, came out in addresses accepting
negro suffrage, and assured the negroes that
they did not propose TO take from them the
electoral franchise. In Florida this issue
has long been abandoned, and the same may
be said as to Louisiana, and, we believe, also
of Alabama. III Mississippi the pr0scriptiUe
State Constitution tods declared defeated Jy The
distinct assurance 10 the negroes that they should
haze suffrage.
Virginia, by her large preponderance OF
whites and their energetic character, is much
better able to face negro suffrage than South
Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, or even
Georgia. But this is not the only question.
The reason why these shrewd party leaders
in Tennessee and the cotton States have
yielded this point IL, that they see negro
suffrage is a fixed fact, and that the only
way to secure large portion of the negro
vote for respectable men Is to abandon OPP
position to their voting. Like sensible peo-
pie, they make the best of the situation as
they find it, and they prefer themselves to
vote the negro instead of forcing him into
the arms of the carpet .baggers. For while
the latter voted the entire class of blacks,
but he lost his empire the day the whites
stopped their war on negro suffrage. This
lesson is very uggestive.-National Intel
ligencer.

How New York Clerks Live.

If any of our young friends have
desire to embark in the life of clerk
in New York City, probably it will
be quenchcd if they will read the fol-
lowing:
Some of the Broadway houses have from
one hundred to three hundred clerks
Among these houses are A. L. Stewart Il
Co, Lord q Taylor, and Arnold Il Consta-
BILE. III. B. Claim & Co. though out of
Broadway, employ about three hundred and
from one hundred TO one thousand dollars
though a few reach 4 figure ranging from
two 70 four thousand dollars. But on the
moderate rates first mentioned they are ex-
pected to dress well and keep up good APP
peerance. They must be at their position
IT o'clock or fined, unless excused for ILL
ness. They are kept on their feet all day,
having Just spare time at noon for hasty
lunch, and by in the evening, they are
weary as a farm laborer. for retailing goods
and incessant talking is hard work. In the
busy season wholesale clerks are often kept
at work until midnight without allowance
for extra services, and when trade falls off
they are liable TO immediate discharge
With the exception of crack statesmen who
influence trade, no clerk is sure of his situa-
ton for week ahead. The "drummerS'
who hang around hotels and bring in Gus
toners, have better chance than indoor
ana hence they are not to be enYied.
MeTchahts care nothing for their clerks,
except as tools to make money with and
every unexpected outlay IS met il Dossible
by cutting down their pay A merchant
who Is making twenty-five thousand dollars
per year and living in handsome style will
gladly reduce his clerk to the lowest nit
ance. The clerk lives at cheap boarding.
houses, and finds it hard to meet even this
outlay. No luXuries are within his reach
unless he obtains the means by fraud, and
10 this he Is soon tempted. He finds amuse~
ment IN the street, and dissipation makes up
Tor the loss of home associations. To meet
the cost of pleasure he robs his employer,
runs brief career of miscalled pleasure, and
either Is saved by flight or winds up in the
Ioom6s Such ut least is the history of a
majority of eur clerks; and yet the country
9oy VINO reads these facts Is just the one to
determine to try his chance, and we shall
probably meet him here in his new suit and
pest good looks in less than a fortnight So
hAaaeh on, dear greenhorn, to your fate, and
become unit in the grand army les miserG-
0feS VINO serve the autocrats of trade.

creasing yearly. But it seems that "A large
percentage of the girls who go in for the
senior local examination at Cambridge are
rejected, on the basis of a test originally
planned for boys. And the point of failure
Is worth marking. The girls fall behind,
not in Latin nor Greek nor Euclid, but for
incompetency in such elementary subjects
as grammar and arithmetic, history and
geography. As year after year brings in
girls to the senior examination from other
schools, this defective elementary training
is more and more apparent This hint NAV
