SOMETHING WITH A LESSON IN IT.

80. -
The New York Journal Of Commerce,
which is paper that was always as
friendly to the South as it was to the
North, because it had Q national senti-
ment, sent reliable man to make just
and true report Of what the South was
doing, and how her people were feeling,
in order to lay the facts before the people
of its own section. And this is the summing
up of all that he saw and wrote about,
although he saw enough to write forty
elaborate letters about from every section
Of the South:
I went South, believing that there was
something there besides politics to talk
about. went among merchants, bankers
working hard to get along, and avoided the
politicians. The people saw were, as q
class, hopeful, even under the most I'M
toward circumstances. They spoke of their
crops and manufactures, the railroads and
stores and houses they had built, the YES
sells they had loaded tor Europe, give
histories of their harbors and channels
and expected to do, how much money their
States owed, and that they intended to pay
it if it took their last dollar. They explained
all those things and have tried to repro
duce the facts in the forty letters, Of which
this il the last. No man can receive the
attention I have received from the South
ern people during the few months spent
among them, without feeling . strong
sense Of gratitude. No man could feel more
grateful than do. have tried to tell the
truth about them. They arc the Judges,
and plain, unprejudiced statements are my
attempt at return for their kindness.
he says he avoided the politicians,
which means that he kept out Of the way
of the Democratic orators and corner
grocery keepers. If he had not done |
this, and had unfortunately fallen into the |
hands of the class that write for the |
Times and read il, he would have been
told a different story altogether. He
would not only have been informed that
the South was ruined already, but that |
she was suffering ruin about once week.
Suppose he had fallen into Dement'S
hands, and had been patient enough to
listen to, and weak enough to believe
hat miscellaneous croaker, what an
Odyssey Of wrongs and ruins he might
have related instead of the happy story
which he did tell.

Liverpool, and has been followed by

hours Of yesterday, attributable to the
STOP" and that the old figures would soon
resume their sway. Offers which factors
turned their backs upon were accepted yes
terday and there has been let down from
the recent steep fertilization in which they
were entrenched. Of course prophesies are
not scarce, but no accurate articulation ofthe
future demand, no pronunciation of forth
coming events has yet been heard that is
not subject to unfavorable criticism. The
change is too sudden to last, according to
good judges, and it will not be MANY DAYS
before cotton will scale the heights again.

originates in the contention which dis
tuEbs the party. The leaders have lost
their hold upon the confidence of their
followers by quarreling with each other
and By originating personal factions.
We know how it is in Louisiana. There
is wide departure from party fidelity in
this State in the interest of partisans
There are the Warmoth men, the Lowell
men, the Dunn men, the Carter men, this
mans men and that mans men, Just as
the Democracy Of New York is split up
into Tweed's men, Sweeney's men, Hof-
maps men, O'Brien's men, the ring men,
the anti-ring men, Tammany men and
the young Democracy men. In all of
these factions there are but few Repub-
icans or Democrats to be counted. for
true men never forget principles in the
pursuit Of individuals.
Governor Warmoth has never en-
couraged this want of fidelity to the
party, as was plainly evidenced at the |
last election, when he wrought out the |
success Of the Republican ticket, al
though that result returned to the Leeis-
lature many members who were violently
opposed to himself on individual grounds.

4 Very Good Size Fish Story.

The Doylestown (Pa.) Domocrat
gets Off the following fish story, which,
il true, will remove manya doubt
from the skeptical mind as to the ad-
ventures recorded of Jonah:
l'p the river, in town called Eas-
ION, two Of its inventive citizens are
training surgeons to u novel use.
They cause a couple Of the fish to
draw u small boat, in harness, and at
lach them also to two imitation swans
which float above them and prevent
their diving. The boat Is shaped
like q shell. The mode of Harvesting
the surgeons is peculiar. A broad
India rubber band, encircling each
fish behind the ectoral fin, has q
brass ring attached on top. Through
these rings u stout ashcn pole, about
eight feet long is Inserted, and to two
staples in the pole the traces are fas-
tened. There is also n gum-elastic
band around each sturgeon, just be-
hind the dorsal fin, with loop in the
side holding the opposite ends Of q
much lighter pole, to compel them to
swim at regular distance from each
other. Phillippi, who acts as driver,
has his seat in the bow, and directs
their course with goad, which is u
long pole, and as thick as one's wrist,
with sharp spike sticking out at right
angles from the,end, and it is surpris-
ing with what alacrity they obey.
When they are to be turned to the
right or left, u sudden prick on the
opposite side Of each sturgeon causes
tie pair to take the desired course;
when a!greater speed is desired they
are pierced near the tail; when they
are required to halt, the goad is reach
rd forward and they are pricked in
front Of the head.

How TO Speak TO Children.

The usual way Of managing Chill
drcn is by corporal punishment, de-
privation of some desired luxury OF
favor, or by rewards addressed to
the senses, and by words alone.
There is another means of govern
mcnt, the power and Importance OF
which arc seldom regarded. We're
fer to the human voice. BY its tone
animals are governed horses, cattle,
dogs, even cata, arc controlled by its
power and influence. A few words
uttered in soft tone are found to
possess u magic influence and harsh,
cross tones, although the words may
not be their nature, rasp the mind
and heart of the hcarCr. A blow
may be inflicted on q child accom-
panied with words so uttered as cn-
tircly to countcract its effect; or the
parent may use language during the
correction of his child, not objection
able in itself, yet spoken in such tones
that the influence of the punishment
is utterly defeated.
The baby in the cradle recognizes
the power of the voice. IL harshly
spoken to, its little lips will quivcl
and tears will flow. 1t cannot dis
ccrn the meaning of the words that
alc uttered, but its heart is touched
and hurt by the tones of the voice.
Many persons laugh at the so-callcI
"baby talk" but the little one jumps
and crows when ii hears the low, soi'
tones and words. Is this influence
confined to the cradle? No, indeed
every age feels 1t, recognizes it, anC
it does not cease while the child re-
mains at home.
Docs your boy grow rude in man.
ncr and bOistcrous in spcCch2 Then
speak to him gcntly-rcprimand him
in tender tomas, with loving words
and carcss. She who speaks TO her
son harshly does but give to his bchav.

pours oil on the already flaming pas
sion and temper.
When cares OpprcSs and duties
crowd us we arc all liable to utter
hasty words perhaps threats are c4-
pressed in loud, irritating tones. do
they allay the passions of the child
already at a white heart? No, they
increase them. Every i'rctl'ul express
sion you utter but awakcns in hin
the same spirit which produced it
On the other hand, pleasant voice
and soft word calls up agreeable feel
ings, softcns the heart, and makes tho
angry, passionate child ashamed o.
