A prominent and very gratifying
feature of the book trade is the rapidly
growing demand for works Of science

read as ever, but scientific books are
very much more read than ever.

The price paid by them for FOrster's

would have been in public ID urniDg
for the loss Of its lawful sovereign. It
may possibly be remembered that
the real Stuart descent Of this gentle
man was questioned and examined at
considerable length in an article
whieh.appesred IN the Quarterly Re-
view for June, 1917, and which was
known to have been written By Mr..
John Wilson Croker, who held him
to be not a Stuart, but a Hay-Allen.
Those who are curious in such objects
will find the story of the modern
Stuart fully discussed in the article
above referred to, and further
information as to the anteee-
dents Of the cheValier, now
deceased may be seen in the Edin-
buTgh Review Of July, 1861, and in
the st. James Magazine OF last

MRMPHIB AND KHOXVILLE AND
HEMPHIs AND JACKSON ROADS.
Two companies are chartered to
build roads through Fsyette county
to this city, each asserting their ulti-
mate purpose Of extending a railway
through Middle into East Tennessee;
the one through Bolivar, the other
through Jackson. 1t is palpable that
these companies should unite and con-
struct a road common to both through
Fayette and Shelby counties. We
have seen several roads built In our
day and never one along the route of
which enough wealth could be gather
ed for its construction and 1t is wholly
absurd to talk about two roads from
SomerviIle to Memphis. This effort
to build two lines Is fatal to both, or,
1t may be true that others can accom-
plish tasks in which Governor Jones
failed. he secured greater individual
subscriptions per mile along railways
he built than any man that has ever
undertaken such a task, and yet the
sum total of such subscriptions was
not a tenth of the cost Of the roads.
Let the companies be consolidated, or

lists only on paper that the construc-
ton Of the other may be defeated in
fact. Neither Shelby county nor the
city of Memphis VIII take stock in

TRUE HEROIsM.

Let others write of battles fought
On bloody, CHASTITY fields,
Where honor greets the man who wins
And death the one who yields;
But I will write of him who fights
And Vanquishes his sins,
Who struggles on through weary years
Against himself, and wins.
He is a hero staunch and brave,
Who fights an unseen foe,
And puts at last beneath his feet,
His passions base and low,
And stands erect In manhOOd's might,
Undaunted, undtsmayed-
The bravest man that drew a sword
In fOray or In raid.
It calls for something more than Drawn
Or muscle to o'ercome
An enemy who marcheth not
With banner, plume and drum
A foe forever lurking nigh,
With silent, Stealthy tread,
Forever near your board by day,
At night beside your bed.
All honor, then, TO that brave heart,
Though poor or rich he be,
Who struggles with his baser part,
Who conQuers, n is free.
he may not win a c~onQueror's crown,
Or I'LL a hero's grave;
But truth VIII place his name among

THE 8IsSIssIPPI LEGISLATUKE-
PASSAGE OF THE IVA RIGHTS
BILL
Itseems that an evil genius presides
over the legislature Of Mississippi.
An apportionment bill hiss been re-
ported so manifestly and outrageously
unjust and partizan in its character
that it has produced the most intense
Indignation. And, to cap the climax
Of outrages. the legislature has passed
the civil rights bill, thereby enforcing
by law the admission of the negro
not only into schools, but churches,
hotels, thesters, and places Of
fashionable resort. The passage
Of this bill will result in
the most alarming consequences. It
viii produce an sntagouism Of races
which viii result in bloodshed. State
legislatures can no more enforce a law
regulating the conventionalities Of
society than it can enforce a law re-
curing water TO run up stream.
Social equality is a bargain which re-
q0ires two parties to make. This law
in Mississippi win not injure
the white people Of the State be-
yond q mere annoyance. But it will
result in serious injury to the negro,
by exciting against him pTejudices
which are now controlled, and would
ultimately perish, but fog this incen-
tive. The negro gains no real or sub
stantial advantage by this bill, for If
he is a gentleman, he viii not go
where he is not wanted; and if he be
60 wanting in self-respect as to intrude
himself, he will be pelted with the
kicks and curses which an I'M
invited and obnoxious guest de-
serves, and generally receives.
Sensible negroes, everywhere, re-
pudiate an amalgamation Of the
races, and oppose all efforts TO pass
laws enforcing equality, because they
prefer TO associate with their own
race, and because they see and know
that there is no solid satisfaction in in
truding where they are not wanted.
They are unwilling to occupy places
which require a sacrifice Of ~self-re-
spect. whilst in1aming against them
selves the prejudices Of race and Great
ing a cause Of bad blood and Of enmity
that win persecute and .uIti-
mately destroy them. Philos-
0phers may dcprecate and hu.
manity may protest, but there is
such s thing as the prejudice Of race,
and having existed go long it viii
probably exist through all time, and
this movement In Mississippi to in
force equality VIII be the inspiration
for q new war between the whites
and the blacks. Different species of
animals cannot be forced to herd to
rether, and there Is the same incom-
pefibIlity between the different races
OF mankind. The pigeon and the
dove are much alike, but their In
sincs and habits are dissimilsr, and
no law can force them together. The
same repellant instincts divide the
different races, spd tho eiyil rights

Where an angel descends at some hour OF

To stir It's bright depths till the shining foam

In the hope that wen sprinkle mankind

Every drop Of the shower in compassion

On the poor weary ones that are strangers to

TIL a rainbow ofjoy hanging over them all.
Tremble forth in the lovelight thai streams

Dip her plumes in the innermost depths OF

Or those waters subsids into GOODNESS again,
TIL some Leper that weeps by their verge IS

Memphis had in 1850 a population

OF Governor Jones and others she
subscribed 100000 to the Memphis

OF these enterprises the Selma and
the Mississippi river are yet incOm-
plete and the city has received no
benefit from investment in them,
but they are both being pushed rap
idly forward, and she will soon feel
the impetus Of the new trade and re-
sources they will bring to her. Within
that short period, through the infu-
enee Of even the partial and imperfect
system Of railroads she has completed,
Memphis has increased her population
from 500 to nearly 10000, and her
taxable property has increased in real
ualuatioR to over $50, 100000. The
annual rate Of increase Of her taxable
wealth since she began the cOnstruc-
ton of her railroads, being about
eighty per cent. on the original value.
And the total debt from about
sixteen per cent. of value Is
reduced to seven and a half per
cent; and the rate of taxation
is greatly reduced. The account of
Memphis or Shelby county 1--WE speak
Of themas an unit because their int
rests are identica) stands, therefore,
as follows:

Take even the assessed value of our
taxable property, and it will then
show a profit on our railroad invest
ments of at least thirty million dollars
to this county. This does not include
the vast increase in wealth not
reached by taxation. And from one
million dollars Of that Investment we
have not yet begun to realize
any returns, but will do SO from
both the Selma and Mississippi
roads within two years. Every
of Shelby county who owned
one thousand dollars worth OF proper
ty when Memphis began construct
ing railroads and retained 1t until
last year found it worth fifteen thou

any other. Nor does it include any
estimate Of the value Of the manifold
blessings, the thousands of conven-
fences, the enlightenment and the pro-

This prevents q mere "dollars

It is evident that aside from the pc
euliar advantages and benefits this
community will derive from the con-

shows that our people cant
make no better investment than the
