Trenton, New Jersey, is on
a broad grin over a huge joke
which has, unintentionably,
we presume; been perpetrated
upon some of its highly re-
spectacle citizens. An enter
prising colored man devised a
petition addressed to the Com
mon Council of that city, ask
ing for an enlargement of the
school house for colored chill
dren. 1t occurred to him that
that the signature OF certain
white folks might be service
able, and applied for and re-
ceived quite a large number.
Just where the laugh comes in
is, the petition commences,
"We, the parents of colored
children!"

THE MEMORY OF THE DEAD

with them in their writings. We

by the works of the dead. Our
knowledge and our arts are the
fruit of their toll. Our minds
have been formed by their in

thousand dependencies. Those
whom we have loved in life are
still objects of our deepest and
holiest affections. Their power
over us remains. They are with
us in our solitary walks; and their
voices speak to our hearts in the
silence of midnight. Their i'm

sacred hopes. They form an es-

in heaven. For, above all, we are
separated from them but for q
little time. We are soon to be
united with them. If we follow

Prolific as it is ordinarily, it set

which other staples, apparently
not more hardy; resist. In the
North and West it has been in.

with very favorable season from
the 1st of July out, it did not full

backward June. This year, June
and July were both backward in
the regions we have named, with
August not especially forcing; and
all accounts agree that, except in
isolated districts, there will be q
marked deficiency in the yield of
Indian corn. Where cold and
rain have not assailed it, drought
and heat have. In the Middle
and Southern States these infiu-
ences have been even more inju-
rious than their opposites IN the
North and West.
And yet wheat, in spite of the
adverse circumstances which have
proved SO injurious to corn, has
prospered and made q great yield

Chow to Pick Cotton. "

BILE suggestions, in view of the
large amount of cotton raised
and the scarcity of labor to
gather it, as to a species of
labor heretofore overlooked,
which is not only adapted to
supply the demand, but also
could be made available for
the benefit and improvement
of the country. In the South
are a very large number of
stout boys and healthy, active
young men who seem to be
entirely ignorant that they
were created for any useful
purpose. They can be found
in cities, towns and villages,
congregated about the street
corners, billiard and gambling
saloons. They possess thor
ough knowledge of everything
but what is useful. They can
even be found in the country
idling away the precious hours
of their vigorous youth in fish
ing and hunting, while ever
before their eyes are ungather-
ed crops and ever sounding in
their ears, the demand for more
labor. No species of reason
ing, no appeals to their man
hood or sound sense will over
come their horror for physical
labor or induce them to exert
themselves to earn an honest
livelihood. They are afraid of
work. The hot sun will brown
their fair compilations, toll will
harden, make sore their hands.
What if it does2 The consci-
BUSINESS that they are not the
froth and scum of society; that
they are of some use, united
with increased physical vigol
will make them feel like differ

They would not then be
idling about streets or as many
of them prefer doing, gaining
a precarious subsistence by
pretending to clerk in some
small retail store. We have
yet to discover that honest toi

Political Reflections.

Is there a man, North or
South, who is truly a patriot,
that does not ardently desire
for himself and his children,
the blessing of good govern
ment, faithfully and honestly
administered Is there one
that would not rejoice at the
restoration of good feeling,
such as existed before the war,
when a worthy citizen in one
section of the country, was
cordially welcomed wherever
he might go? Men Of the
North, what are you doing to
accomplish this much desired
endH You control the govern
ment; you shape its policy you
make its laws. We of the
South, are powerless in your
hands; you have banished us
from your counsels, and those
who control the government
deny us their confidence and
their sympathies. If there is
no change, no reaction, what
can we expect or hope?
Shall we ask for bread and
be given a stone? shall we ask
for a fish and be given a ser
pent? Prejudices and animosi-
ties engendered between sec
tions, as all history demon
strates, if not allayed in season,
result in wars and calamities.
We were mutually taught to
love our country, to contem-
plate with pride its Institutions,
and to consider invioable and
inalienable those great princi-
Piles of civil liberty, incorpora-
ted in the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and the Federal Con-
stitution. You have ignored
these; you have been induced
to cast them aside as so much
waste rubbish, and created
over us a civil and military
despotism, as odious and afro
cious as those of Austria or
Prussia. You denounce our
people en- mGSse as traitors as
rebels, deny us the right of self
government, remove all our
officers, and place in their stead
a sect of men for whom we en-
tertain neitherrespect nor con-
fidence. And, then, because
the laws are not properly ad-
ministered, you blame us for it.
You believe all the falsehoods
propagated against us, and
learn to view MS with distrust
and hatred. You have eStab-
lished over us a civil and mill
tary despotism; you have Gre
ated in various localities over
our State, once a free and
proud repeblic, military bas-
tiles, where men are imprioned

THE sxrrrE JONES CASE.



We learn that the libel suit against the
steamer Nettie Jones, for $50, 900. was
dismissed 10 the United District Court at
Little Rock, last Saturday. 1t will be
remembered that the Nettie Jones was
used by the Radicals who disguised
themselves last fall and threw overheard
the arms on the Hesper. bought by
prominent Arkansas carpet-baggers on
speculation. They thought they could
make the most out Of the old gun
boxes, which were probably filled
with rocks, by depositing them in the
Mississippi river with the turtles and cat
fish, who are understood to be neutral in
politics as well as in war. Hence, the
boxes Of broken guns and bad brick went
over, and the trooly loil set up cut and
dried howl for indemnify. The innocent
tug Nettie Jones was seized at Duvalps
Bluff, and put under heavy bonds. Tie
gun spectators were determined to make
something out of somebody-they cared
little who. But the tug Nettie Jones
has been released. The Legislature Of
Arkansas adjourned without paying for
the drowned guns, and but one hope re-
mains, that is for the loyal Legislature OF
Tennessee to appropriate something to
relieve the pinching necessities of the
Arkansas carpet baggers, who are sup
posed to still be in debt to the Memphis
Radicals for destroying those arms, 60

Marriage Extraordinary.

In consequence Of the unreeonstructed
state of things in this part Of Virginia
last week, license to marry could not be
obtained, aud very respectable couple
who wished to have the knot matrimonial
tied had to resort to unreconstructed
Tennessee for that purpose. Accord
insly, on Thursday Of last week Mr..
James Graham and Miss Sallie Hickok,
accompanied by large party of young
friends, paraded on horseback and moved
down 10 Tennessee in military style.
They we're met near the line by the Rev.
J.R. King and his staff, and Immediately
formed a solid column, the bride and
groom aud their attendants in front,
when the happy couple we're made one.
When the ceremony was over they coun-
termarched to the rear, and returned to
Virginia without alighting.-AbtHgdon

NEw MEMPHIS THEATER Mr.. Letting
well, the immense burlesque actor, ar
rived yesterday and opened short en-
gagement last night at the New Memphis
Theater. He selected for the occasion
one of his best plays-Too Much for
Good Nature-in which be personates
the versatile and sentimental cock
loft philosopher, lover and poet,
Romeo Jaffier Jenkins" The au-
dience was not over-large but was de-
lighted, and the rich, droll burlesque on
the stage seemed to more than compen-
safe the spectators for empty seats be-
hind them. The support was admirable,
and the play went off very smoothly.
Toodles, the "afterpiece," was played
FIRST, and was well put on the stage. To-
night "the girl of the period" {" Clorin-
da") will be presented. This is the rich.
est piece of burlesque, without doubt,
ever seen in Memphis, and as this is the
fashionable night of the week, and near
the close of the season, we may safely
predict large house.
