Tobacco a Puzzle.

The author of the "Theory and
Practice of Teaching" in q chap
ter on tho personal habits of the
teacher, as TO neatness of dress,
cleanliness &c. .,qindulges in the fol-
lowing query in regard to the use
of tobacco. "While upon the sub
iect l may bo INDUCED in a word
or two upon tho use Of tobacco by
the teacher. 1t is quite puzzle TO
me toaell why any man but a Turk
who may lawfully dream away
half his existence over the fumes
of his filthy narcotic, should ever,
use it. Even if there was nothing
wrong in tie use of unnatural
stimulants themselves, the .filthiS
ness of tobacco is enough TO, con-
denim it among teachers, especially
in tho form of chewing. 1t is cer-
tainly worth while te ask whether
there is not some moral delinqueB-
cyiinI teaching this practice to the
young, while it is admitted by,
nearly oil who have fallen, into the
habit, to be an evil, and one from
which they would desire to be de-
Illiyeted. / AT anyrate, IHlhope the
time is coming when the good
taste OF teachers, and regard loro
personal neatpess, and the comfort
.of others, shall present motives suf-
ficiehtiy strong TO induce them TO-
break away from a!praetice at once
so unreasonable and disgusting" 2

natural things, how shall il be with

AN EXODUS CERTAfN.-The negroes have
voted for continuation of high taxation and
wasteful expenditure, and in consequence, for
lower wages and an exodus of good portion
of our population from the State. For just as
sure as water rut1s down hill, otr laboring pop
ulation will move from poorer lands and lower
wages to richer lands and higher wages. A
Louisiana planter met us on the cars on last
Saturday, and said: 'T carried fifty negroes
this last year from North Carolina, and intend
this coming year to carry fifty more. I rup Is
mules on my place, and plant but fifty acres in
corn, making from $500 to 8, 600 bushels which
feeds the stock and the plantation, and put
all of the rest into cotton. You can't compete
with us. The item of corn alone settles it. l
also own and plant place in Georgia, and know
what it is to have to use fertilizers. But the
corn is the thing that makes the great difference
in our favor out West. 1t costs us nothing.
The negroes will gradually move west, because
there is no where else for them to CO." There
is much truth in all this Temporarily it will
impoverish the State, but the sooner we get q
white majority here the better. And till We do
get that white majority, our policy is to besr
the taxation patiently, and to see to 1t that it
comes out of the negros wages, plainly saying
to him; "Well, Sambo, you have the votes; it
is your choice; if you can stand it, CAM" 1t
need not be supposed either that the hypocriti.
cal yankees that rule us will interfere to prevent
this quiet shifting of the burden that his ass
ship prefers, upon Sambos shoulders. They
really cannot prevent it, if they try to. But
they don't care button about it. They are
simply running the government as a good spec
ulation. Taxes they will haye-where they
come from, they care not fig. The party Of
high taxes and low wages, then, perhaps will
bring us a white majority sooner than any
other party, and in this view of it, we perhaps
will find its temporary success good thing for
the State IFinnsboro News.

In fact, one can scarcely enter the establish:
ment without seeing something he had not
thought of, and which being seen, becomes q
necessity. The temptation to load ones self
down with these useful novelties is almost irre-
sistible. The result is that such a large and
miscellaneous assortment naturally attracts the
country merchant, who can thus obtain IN half

A W1rHER1Na REBUKE.-At public NEE
ting in Eufaula, Ala, to pay q tribute of re-
spect to Gen. Lee, the orator of the occasion
was Gen. Alpheus Baker, one of Carolina's
gifted SONS, who delivered chaste and eloquent
eulogy upon the life and character of the illus
trious deceased. In referring incidentally to
the order transmitted by the Secretary of the
Treasury to the Collector at Savannah, endors-
ing the latter official for having the national
flag raised from where it had been lowered to
ha1f-mast, Gen. Baker administered the follow
ing well-merited rebuke to these Radical OFF,
cials:
"Amid these sad utterances of country
grief may be heard the occasional and malig-
nant hiss of sectional hatred as it issues through
the fangs of some little viper, little whether he
basely creep in the dust beneath our feet, or
however he may have climbed or securely may
have coiled in the seats of power, but it will be
answered by hiss of scorn that counter
echoed by hiss of scorn from every quarter Of
this globe "shall burden the wings of the SKY" J"
81 have heard that in the metropolis Of a
Southern State beneath whose soil repose the
ashes of the llustrious father of this illustrious
hero, when the very weight of public grief had
dropped the gorgeous ensign of our country
down to half-mast, there flashed an order to in
suit the grave, and haul that standard up to
full mast But methinks as the reluctant light
ming announced that message, the very winds
that shook those agitated folds murmured their
remonstrance, and those glorious stars as they
unwillingly mounted upwards hid their bright
eyes for shame, and those colors blushed to a
deeper crimson at the heartless and ignoble
deed. No! However power may maneuvre to
suppress the expression of our emotion here, I
tell you, throughout the earth's wide limits this
intelligence shall come, the flag of humanity
shall futter down the half-mast, and the worlds
unbidden heart will beat its dead march for the
mighty fallenl Aye, far out under the cold,
black shadow of the Rocky Mountains, where
the free winds sing their wild song on the
fowery solitudes of the Northwestern prairies
the savage Red Cloud, when he hears this news,
will bow his eagle plume in reverence to the
chieftain whom the Great Spirit has summoned
to the skies; and in the blaze and centre of the
worlds civilization, around the spires and tow
ers, and palaces of the grandest city, when it
goes there, the crowned helmet of William, the
conqueror, amid his steel-clad hosts, shall be
lifted from royal head to pay its homage to
the memory of him whose genius, and whose
virtues have made him the brother and the
peer of kings"

MARRIED IN FUN.-In the Court of Chan
Gerry, of New jersey, in session at Trenton,
Chancellor Zabbiskie rendered decision in the
case of Virginia McClurg Us. Benjamin F. Ter
ry, ct al, one of the most remarkable cases that
has ever come before the Court. Miss McClurg
brought suit to have marriage which had been
by the Court. The allegation was that the two
parties to the suit met at social gathering,
and for the amusement of the company, were
married by Justice of the Peace, who hap
pened to be present. Afterward the defendant
and his family insisted upon the legality of the
marriage, and the Justice, upon being question
ed, did not know whether the parties whom he
had joined in wedlock were in earnest or not
The case having come into Chancery, Chancel-
lor Zabbiskie decided that marriage, to be
valid, must be agreed upon by both parties
and he therefore declared the marriage null and
void.

To her it seemed as though the death of JOY
had come. She had never known such misery
before. By and by, when she could think, she
wondered If her husband wonld smile upon hel
if she should offer him the first kiss, and speak
the first word of love. She would try it. II
would be terrible if he should repulse her but
she could not live so.
The hours passed, and the young wife sat
like one disconsolate. She thought not of din
ner, she had no appetite. She only thought
could the warm sunshine ever come again
Did her husband love her less than she had
thought
THUS she sat, with pale cheeks and swollen
ewes when she heard the outer door opened, and
a step in the hall. She started up to listen,
thinking that her senses might have deceived
her, when the door of the sitting room was
opened, and her husband entered. His eyes
were filled with tears when he saw how pal:
and grief-stricken his wife looked, and with
open arms he moved toward her.
sDollie. My darling. Don't let US be un-
happy any more"
He had been thinking on his way home,
what he should say when he met her; and he
had framed in his mind a speech of confession
which he would make; but he forgot it all
when he saw her, and his heart spoke as it
would. The words burst from his lips, loving
ly, prayerfully, beseechingly,C
"Dollie. Ny darling. Don't let us be un-
happy any more"
She come to his bosom, and twined her arms
about his neck; and for the kiss that was miss,
ed in tie morning they took many now; and
they wept no more apart, but wept together.
That was all. The cloud had passed and
they experienced the exquisite thrill which all
true hearts can feel when wrong has been
made right, and when the warm joy-beams
drive away the dark shadows of sorrow and re-
gret. It was life-lesson to them both and
they promised themselves they would pay heed
to its teachings.
