A BELLE BURIED IN PorrER's FIELD
The vicissitudes of life are strong and
suggestive. On Wednesday, Mrs. W. Fl.
Disbrow died in New York. Only few
years ago she was the highest and most
brilliant on the list of New York bellies.
She died in the rear room of the fifth
story OF one OF the most magnificently
furnished and built houses in the city;
and though she owned the furniture,
many thousands of dollars worth, those
who by her death became its owners, yes
terday sent her, at the expense of the city
of New York, to home in the Potter's
Field. She was the wife, too, of the
lately deceased VIM. Fl. Disbrow, once
the well known proprietor OF Disbrow's 8
riding academy. Her mother discarded
her when she married against her will.
She was twenty-nine years old, was beau-
tiful, always respectable, and only eight
cen months ago her then fair form wore

Let US remember-tor it is a
momentous fact-that signs of
disaffection with popular govern
ment in the United States began
with inroads upon the Constitu-
ton. So long as the first princi-
pies of popular government con-
tinued to be rules OF political con
duct, no doubt was expressed of
the adequacy of those principles
to promote, sofar as political prin-
clples can promote, the highest
interests of the people, and the
greatest common prosperity and
happiness. Expressions of dis
trust in free government began
with entertainments upon the
rights of the people and disregard
OF the Constitution. The farther
the departure the more these ex-
pressions were multiplied. and the
more bold their utterance, until,
having almost totally abandoned
that which, as we had believed.
was essential at once to liberty
and to safety, there have arisen
among us those who insist that
the experiment of political liberty
has been tried i'll America, and
has failed.
Shall we go forward, unrefect-
ing, taking leaps in the dark,
flying with negro reconsideration
the ills we have, and rushing into
those Of which we are ignorantl
Or shall we go ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
to the Constitution from which we
have departed, and reinstate the
principles whose abandonment
has been the occasion of the mis-
fortunes under which we suffer
The question is an important one
1t is plainly stated, and vast in
tereSts hang upon the decision

The House That Rum Built.
BY WILLIAM MAN.

The Almshouse: This is the
house that rum built.
The Drunkard: This is the
beast that lives in the house that
rum built. 4
Appetite: This is the chain
that binds the beast that lives in
the house that rum built.
Intoxicating Drink: This is the
serpent in the fowery guise, with
artful tongue and dazzling eyes,
that Yields the chain that binds
the beast that lives in the house
that rum built.
The Rumseller: This is the
monster who holds the rein over
the serpent who YIELDS the chain
that binds the beast in cruel pain
that lives i'll the house that rum
built. -.
Wholesale Liquor Dealers
These are the demons of the land,
who hold the monster at their
command, and to the serpent they
do say, together we will take our
way, and weld the chain so strong
fly now, that every beast to us
shall bow, and dwell in the house
that rum built. H# S
Temperance Law: This is the
star of promise bright, that stopt
the demons in their delight to
scare the monster in his career,
and to the serpent loud and d
fear, that he no more may weld
the chain that binds the beast in
his artful train, who lives in the
house that rum built.
Good TemplarS: These are the
soldiers who take the field, with
the star of promise for their
shield; they go together hand
in hand, to hunt the demons who
infest the land; they'll stop the
monster in his course, and destroy
the serpent from hissource; they'll
break in two the welded chain
and set the captive free again
who lives in the house that run
built. 800 snsE@
The Temperance Pledge: This
is the banner the soldiers bear; il
waves forever bright and fair
with their banner bright, and theil
starry shield, they are theconquer
ors Of the field; the demons flee in
all their host; the monsters, too
desert their post; they'll drive thu
serpent from the land, and KEEP

they'll help the captive break til,

What Gould be Done With
Increased Labor.

4
New England is all agog and
alarmed by the threatened irrup-
ton of the Chinese into the South.
and well they may be. With a
few million ofindustriOus Chinese
in the valley of the Mississippi, to
cultivate, pick and spin cotton,
what would become of their vast
and expensive factories? On this
magnificent river, with its thou
sands of miles navigation; with
the cheapest fuel and provisions
on the Continent; with the raw
staple so conveniently at hand,
and with such efficient artisans
and cheap labor, we should do in
this valley the cotton spinning for
the whole world. Thus we should
treble or quadruple the value of
our exported cotton, and reverse
! that anomalous condition which
has so long existed, by which
this great product of our country
is made more profitable to the
people of New England than to
those Of the South.
With ten millions Of Cinnamon
we would achieve this great revO-
luton; not only this, but others
quite as startling. We, in this
State of Louisiana, would pro-
duce all the sugar required for
consumption in the United States
and in Europe. Before the war
we used to raise very nearly one
half of the consumption of this
country. And yet the surface of
the sugar lands had been barely
scratched and cultivated in patch
es, compared'with the area suscep
tible of cultivation. There were
millions ofrich swamp lands which
needed but little labor and
capital to put them in cultivable
condition. Mr.. John Slidell then
, owned 10000 acres, and Mr.. w.
, s. Pike 10000 acres of these valu-
able lands. Mr.. Burnside, the
largest planter in the State, made
1000 hogsheads the year before
the war, and his preparations had
been made to swell the number to
: 1O,O00hogsheads. With adequate
labor, this gentleman alone, could
raise from the lands he owns and
pays taxes on, at least 10000
hogsheads. This could be done
! with $500 or 5000 good reliable
laborers. An addition of three
or four hundred thousand Chinese
: to our population would secure us
: a sugar product of a million of
hogsheads, worth $150,000 900 all
clear, leaving the molasses to de
fray the expense of the cultiva.
J ton. Now these results cannot be
: accomplished in any other section
of the United States, for the plain
: : reason that Providence has given
I us the climate and soil which are
! alone adapted to the culture Of
! the commodities which the whole
world demands. WHAT'S produc
! ed from the soil in the Northern
: States may be, and is producedal
> over the world and the supply has
: already reached and begins to ex
! coed the demand, so as to ,rentlel
: labor and capital employed therein
= unremunerative. The future great
i ness, growth and wealth OF the
country depend upon the devel
; opment of the vast resources Of
Il the South. There is no surel
! mode OF Fastening that develop
. ment than by the introduction o
= the cheap, efficient and reliable
: labor of the Chinese.-[N 0
