who have been ignored by the Governor,
Durant lives out of the State, NAPLES
holds an honorable position; Bonseigneur,
Rodriguez and Burchard are not familiar
to Us. and W. Z. Crane is too decidedly
demented to be thought Of. Then, again,
the guilt Of their retiremen, belongs more
to the party than. to the Governor, even
admitting that they had claims, for the
party ought to have nominated and elected
them before now. So it seems that their
disappearance out Of politics is not to be
charged against the Governor, but against
the party which DIR. Cromwell says they
founded, and to which he thinks be be-
longs.
AS to the enforcement Of the civil rights
bill, that is an old question which Nj.
Lowell attempted to discuss with the Gov
ernor in the State convention, wherein be
got just such setting down as all the
stupids who raise it ought to get. Il is
not the duty Of tie Governor to execute
the laws In behalf Of every citizen who is
disappointed Of his rights. There IS
law that gives Cromwell the right to drink
himself blind drunk at any Gar in town,
as there is law that gives him the right
to vote. If he does not enforce his own
right to drink, as he does his right TO
vote, is the Governor to sally out and LEAD
hin. to the WHISKY mill and see him filed?
Let Mr.. Cromwell pursue his rights like a
man, and not cry for help like slave.
The negroes have all the rights in this
State that other men have, and this is all
that the Republican party promised to af-
ford them. They are committing, II many

Of fruits, peaches do fairly we'll, but
so many are grown in Delaware, and
Norfolk is so little ahead of the sonth-
ern part of that State, that not much
profit has been made on them. OF sap-
pies, have spoken. Little is done in
grapes. Concord is the fayorite. Some
made money last year, others lost; gem
orally, in the latter instance, from bad
packing. This defect is the drawback
with a greater part of the vegetables
and fruits sent from the South-dried, /, as
well as green.
This brings us to point, where we
may speak of the enterprise and energy
of firm, part northern and part south
ern, who deserve much credit. Boxes
| from the North were costly, and early
fruits and vegetables packed in barrels
became damaged and caused loss. Hence,
the necessity for manufacturing on the
spot. . 1-
Messrs. Baird, Roper 6 Co., first COM
menced this work. They have made for
this seasons crop 100000 crates for to-
matoes, 10000 crates, 60 boxes each, for
strawberries, and 5000 for radishes, GU
cumbers, and peas. Peas were formerly
shipped in barrels, but the bushel crate
makes not only a more convenient but
more available package. This firm also
make the small quart and pint straw
berry baskets. They ship large quanti-
ties OF cypress and Juniper wood to the
North for bucket and pail making. They
| told me, too, that new and very exten-
sive business had sprung up in rails fol

father south is the Albemarle Sound
where are the immense shad and her
ring fisheries, which have been wonder
ed at by all who ever saw them, and dis
believed by many who have not.
Now they are conducted on a still
greater scale than ever, one owner, Mr.
Ned Wood, hauls his seine in and out by a
steam tug-boat. He has averaged up tC
this time 100000 herring per day. lShad

4 Take up any State in Europe, and
mark we'll whereof consisted its
modern progress. Human muscle
alone cannot produce high civiliza-
tion.e. 1t must. as has been done in
Europe, be aided by training, so as to
have greater mechanical skill; next
it must be stimulated by some labor
ing force that costs less to maintain
than human muscle, and to both these
must be added science, so asto make
the natural forces yield its highest
possible quantity. In the South the
mule is now the only working help
mate of the negro. The mule is
even cheaper than the negro, who is
cheap enough in all conscience.
Now, strengthen both by machinery
and higher intelligence, and how ra-
pidly would both rise in value,-how
rich would the whole people be in a
comparatively short time ~z0rTr.
We say, then, to the South, and
we do it in all friendliness; You have
not a political question to. solve, but
a social one. The Hon. Alex. H.
Stephens saw this several years ago ;
he said in an address before the
Georgia Legislature, Feb. %, 1866 ;
"The most yexed questions of the
age are social problems. These we
have heretofore had but little to do
with. : The politico-economic
problem is now upon u.s."
And we argree fully with Mr.. Ste
phens in the statement, and have in
the foregoing endeavored. to point
the way. Mr.. Stephens says well in
the same address, 'That patience is
necessary for the Southern people: .
Longfellow advises the same thing
when he says: .'Learn= to labor and
to, wait ., .s-7 - p gs,-- $50 s4e. {. 81,

The property of cords contracting
their length became known as great
mechanical power at the raising of the
Eebelisk in the square facing St. Peters,
Rome. This was in 1886. 1t was of
GREAT poeemnity. The pope celebrated
high mass and blessed the workmen.
The blast of trumpet gave the signal,
the engines were set in motion by an
incredible number of horses Fifty-two
unsuccessful trials were made before the
huge block of stone was lifted from
the earth. AS it rose IN the ar the
ropes which held it became so stretched
that the base of the column could not
be lifted upon its pedesal, when man
in the crowd called out s'Wet the
ropes" This was done, and Immediate
ly the immense shaft, as if of its own
accord, and without further aid from
the engines, rose to the required hight
and rested on the spot where it now
