,cessary facts may be drawn:
coLoaED POPULATION IN 1860 AND 1870.

In Georgia, ruled by "White Mans Gov
crnment," we find the increase from 1860 to
1870 to be II per cent; in North Carolina 8
per cent; in South Carolina, dovetailed as it
is between these two white States and con-
trolled altogether by negroes, the increase has
been less than one per cent. In Alabama, where
the white man predominates in numbers, and
where his influence in the Government is
always felt, the increase was IS per cent; in
Arkansas it was 10 per cent; Mississippi,
sandwiched in between these States, shows but
Is per cent AS stated before, Arkansas
showed 10 per cent. increase from 1860 to 1870,
while Texas the strongest white mans State in
the country, showed 100 per cent. Meanwhile,
Louisiana, which ever since the war has been
q sort of Liberia, showed four per cent. only !
Is there nothing in these figures to afford the
negro food for reflection? Can he find nothing
in this stern 'iogic of facts" to convince him
that the best interests and future welfare Of his
own race demand "whte mans Government"
for Alabama?

\ SINGULAR Chicago is a
singular city. 1t is remarkable for its mar
riages and its divorces, for its sensation stories,
its house-raising and its rats. The other day it
was engaged in "cclebrating," by holiday,
music flag flying and general rejoicing, the
anniversary of the conlagraton from which it
suffered so severely two years ago. A Western
paper tells of man who had settled down in
a neighboring village for six or seven years,
and was noted for his quiet, sober manners.
But it was observed that on one particular day
of each year he put off his scdatencss put on
his best clothes, took holiday, gave himself
retiring to bed in his boots. An inquiry into
the reason of his curious conduct disclosed the
fact that the day thus set apart for a private
celebration was the anniversary of his wife's
death. That man must have hailed from Chi,
cago.

BackWOOds Genius.

A caveat was recently filed in the Patent
Office at Washington for new motive power,
which, in the opinion of experienced engineers
and scientific gentlemen, will not only sup
plant the present steam engines, but largely
increase the uses to which machinery can be
applied. Strange to say, this invention is the
product of boy but Is years Of aye, who was
born and reared in the backwoods of Oregon.
Frank c. Crouch is the name of the young
genius. His father settled OH farm in Doug
las county over twenty years ago, and the only
educational advantages enjoyed by the young
man were those afforded by the country school.
At very early age he demonstrated wonder
full ingenuity in the construction of wind-mills
and waterwhees. Natural philosophy and
chemistry were his favorite studies, and not
only faithfully followed in school, but fairly
reveled in out of school hours.
Geographic instrument. Upon his return home
he constructed an instrument, made battery,
and in q rude way could telegraph with it,.
He came near losing his life at this period,
from the strength of battery which he had
constructed, receiving shock which laid him
up for month. In this connection it may be
stated that this young man has perfected a
system whereby messages may be sent and re-
ceived on board train Of cars, whether stand
ing still or moving at the rate of fifty miles an
hour. This system render collisions impossible,
and greatly reduces the chances of accidents of
all kinds 1t has been tested on twelve miles
of road, and found to work Ikea charm.
Another of his inventions, from which his
friends and practical machinists expect great
results is a self-regulating water-feed to be ap-
piled to boilers. The great majority of ex-
plosons are caused by the water getting low
through the carelessness of engineers. BY this
arrangement the water in the boiler will always
be kept at certain height, rendering ex-
plosons impossible, requiring no attention
from the engineer, and dispensing with steam
gauges.
Among all the inventions to which this
young man has applied his attention, the one
which he was most desirous of bringing before
the public was his new steam engine.
The merit claimed for the new engine is that
.bv it steam is converted into wonderfully ex-
pansive gas, by being super-heated in combna-
ton with air, thus giving to comparatively
small engine great power. BY this arrange
ment the main obstacle which has prevented
the application of machinery to many pur-
poses will be overcome, and the steam carriage
for common roads made practical. A great
saving in fuel, as well RS weight is also secured
by the invention of young Crouch. The en-
gine and boiler are combined and an engine
of forty horse power will not take up space

ARothex Aneedote OF Horace Gree
ley.

As almost everything relative to
Horace Greeley has become mat
ter Of pabiir Interest, the following
anecdote may now be in order. just
four years ago, about this season, he
was seen to cross the Fulton ferry to
the New York side enc rather bleak
afternoon. The ladies' cabin, in
which Mr. Greeley was seated, for a
wonder CHANGED to be occupied al
most exclusively by ladies, and, just
as the boat was about to start, a
poor, thinly clad and evidently suf-
ferihg woman, with 4 baby inner
arms, tottered into a seat. When
the boat arrived at its destination.
the elegantly attired ladies passed
out without kind look or word 10
their suffering sister, who was evil
IDENTIFY too III to move. Mr.. Greeley
loitered behind, went to the woman,
spoke to her fer a minute or two.
and then assisted her TO rise, placed
one OF her arms in his, and, taking
the baby, under the other arm and
passed out. And so they walked
down Fulton street, and the passers
bye wonderingiy and some times
jestingly observing the awkward,
iong-haired, big-brained man stalk
ing along, Indifferent TO appearances,
and intent only on his errand ofmer-
cy, and his strange companions, a
baby on one side, as If It were \
book or aparcel under his arm, and Z
poor, tottering woman on the other.
lie placed them On board a street
car at the Astor House, and, giving
some money TO the woman, he spoke
q few words Of direction to the con-
ductOr, and so they passed their res
pective ways, whether to meet again
in this world, can only be known al
the last great day.

The "Fat sheep"

Some twenty-five years ago, when
| was a pastor of a church In -,
took, occasion one evening to visit a
social meeting, in the church occa-
sions. One after another gave in
his or her experience. After time
a man in humble circumstances,
small in stature, and effeminate
squeaking voice, rose to give his ex-
perisnce, which was done in the fol-
lowing manner:
Brethren, have been q member
of this church many years. l have
seen hard times. Ny family have
been much afflicted, but have, for
the frst time in my life, to see my
pastor or the trustees Of this church,
cress the threshold of my door"
No sooner had he uttered this
part of his experience than he was
interrupted by one of the trustees,
an aged man, who rose up and said
in firm, loud voice:
'My dear brother you must put
he devil behind you"
On taking his seat, the pastor in
charge arose and replied to the lit
tie man as follows:
"My dear brother, you must re.
member that we shepherds are sent
to the lost sheep of the house of Is,
rael."
Whereupon the little man arose =.
gain, and in answer, said in a very
loud tone of voice.
''Yes, and If I'd been = fat one
you'd have found me long ago"
Tho effect uDOn the audience car
better be imagined than described.

How a question was Aan.wered.

A first rate story is told of a very
prominent man, who lived in De-
troit forty years ago, and who at that
| time owned more steamboat stock
than any other man in the Western
country, besides other wealth to q
large amount.
Like many of the pioneers who
acquired great riches, he was very
! ignorant in all that books taught,
but his learning was more like wis
dom; and in common with many
who lived and passed away he knew
what tree would make shingles by
looking at it.
He had at the time of our story,
just completed a splendid new ware
house at Buffalo, and wanting q
suitable clerk to take charge Of it,
he advertised for one in the papers;
Next morning early a candidate for
the position presented himself-a
rather too fiashy man in appearance
when the following conversation
occurred:
Young man when you make q
mistake in any Ofyour books, how
| do you correct it,"
The young man explained in q
very prOfuse manner, how he should
proceed to make it all right.
"A good way, no doubt, to'dO it,"
replied the old man; "but | shan't
want YOU"
Very soon another aspirant put in
his appearance. A similar question
was asked him, and in a long and ell
oquent manner he pointed out the
remedy in all such cases.
All the reply was, ''Young man, /
shan't want you"
Some three or four others drop
ped in during the day, and to each
the same question was put, and they
all had some smart way of covering
up errors in their books.
The old gentleman was entirely
| ignorant himself Of the art of book
keping but he had wisdom in al
things, which is NOPE than a match
for learning.
Just after the close of the day, a
plainiy-dressed man, with a bright
eye and brisk step, called for the
situation.
Take a seat sir" said the old
gentleman. Il want to ask you lust
one question. When you make a
false entry on the books, how do
| you 90 to work to correct it:''
Turning upon his questiOner a
cold, sharp look, the young man re-
| piled: 81 don't make those kind Of
mistakes, sir"
! "Ah! my dear sir, YOU are Just
the man have been looking for all
day." and in a few moments after,
the man who corrected his blunders
by not making them, was installed
| in the Office.

TREATMENT OF nrNINGrrIs.

The following Card, isays the
Mobile Register,) addressed "To the
Medical Profession" has been sent
US by friend in Savannah. It was
published in the papers OF that sec
tion by medical gentleman who, in
answer TO numerous enquiries,
gives a synoptical statement OF his
treatment of meningitis, that terri
BILE disease which appears to be
spreading throughout the country.
The author of the card states that
this treatment should not be en-
ployed by any one but a skillful
physician, as to such this communi-
cation is addressed. We give il
below for what it is worth, without
endorsement or cOmmendatiOn:
To THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
The following treatment, which
has been employed by me since the
winter of 1928, with uniform sue
cess in all cases where the treatment
has been instituted within twenty
four hours after the development of
the prominent symptoms: In the
first place discard all ideas Of this
disease being an infiammatOry af'ec-
tion of the brain and spinal cord !;
saturate a flannel (fofded several
times) with spirits of turpeutine-
apply this along the whole course of
the spine, pass over this after the
ordinary mode of ironing, a COM
mon sad or smoothing iron well
heated. Continue this for ten or
fifteen minutes until you have well
stimulated the spine. In the mean
time give quinine III heroic doses,
to be repeated every two hours until
all symptoms are overcome. Fol
low each dose of quiniAe with q
heavy dose of bromide of potassium
combined in solution with an ordi-
nary dose of solid extract Hyoscya-
mus. The object of bromide is 10
control reflex action, and the doses
should be regulated according TO
the head and spinal symptoms, as
this is dependent on electro-mOnic
changes in the periphery of the
nerves; from this the action of the
mOdHS Operdndt of the quinine and
bromide will be readily understood
by the intelligent physician under
no circumstances use fly blister or
opiates in the outset OF this disease (;
avoid all cold applications to the
head and spine. When constipation
exists, which is generally the case,
use large doses of calomel every
three hours until the bowels act
freely. Physicians can rely on this
treatment when instituted in time.

one Thing al a Time.

a great many things may be well
done provided that only one thing
at q time is attempted.
Many active, energetic people sui
fer their lives to waste, simply be-
cause they are without method OF
any kind. True, they are busy, and
fussy and fidgetty, and full TO the
bursting with all manner of plans
and projects; but while agonizing
with the pains of parturition, they
seldom bring any matters of impor-
tance to birth. They should recoI-
lect that good deeds are not pro-
duced in litters, but are laid down
On a solid basis, after the order
of steps, ascending toward the
summit of a pyramid.

How Pins are Made.

A correspondent of the Boston
Daily News thus calls attention to
the pin factory in Winsted, Conn,
which turns out two million pins a
day:
1 wonder some poetical genius
has not immortalized himself before
now rehearsing in heroic verse the
exploits of one of these leaping,
laughing streams, as it goes rushing
down from its source in the noun
tain tops to the peaceful bosom of
the Connecticut. There is no end to
the versatility of its operations, and
no limit to the amount of its pro-
! duct. Take, for an instance, the
stream that goes down the gorge by
Winsted and CollinsVille. In a single
mile, as it tumbles through Win
sted, it is made to elaborate an end
less variety of articles to be distrib-
uted all over the land. Not the least
interest of its operation here is the
production OF two million of pins
every day. 1t used to be said that
there were twenty trades to make
a pin; but here is a little machine
not two feet square, which, set in
motion by the falling stream, with
out the touch of human hands, takes
the wire from a reel on one side,
and turns out perfectly finished and
polished pins on the other side, at
the rate of105 per minute, 5000 per
hour, or 10000 per day. Forty of
these machines in the little chamber
turn out two million per day. The
most curious part of this machinery
is for sticking them in papers. tits
net permitted to anybody to see it,
and of course it can only be known
by its works. We are told that the
pins are thrown by the bushel into a
hopper, helter-skelter, and the
machine straightens them out, pa
rades them in in regular ranks
of twenty each, crimps the strips of
paper for them, punches them into
it, and send them along. We can
only see the strips as they come
down through crevice in the cell
ing with their battallions all in reg
ular order, without touch of hand.
The chief manuel labor of the whole
process is putting them up in gross
es for market.
One would think the world would
be pinned all together; but thanks
to somebody's carelessness, they say
the demand is increasinUl

saw her last night at party,
(The elegant party at Meade
And looking remarkably hearty
For widow so young in her weeds;
Yet know she was suffering sorrow
Too deep for the tongue to express
or why had she chosen to borrow
So much from the language Of dress:
Her shawl was as sable as night,
And her gloves were as dark as her shawl
And her jewels-that flashed in the light
Were as black as funeral pail;
Her robe had the hue Of the rest,
(How nicely it fitted her shapeD
And the grief that was heaving her breast
Boiled over in billows Of Grape.
What tears of vicarious woe,
That else might have sullied her face,
Were kindly permitted to now
In ribbons Of ebony lace.
While even her fan in its play,
Had quite lugubrious scope,
And seemed to be waving away
The ghost of the angel of Hope,
Yet rich as the robe of queen,
Was the sombre apparel she wore;
I'm certain never had seen
Such a sumptuous sorrow before;
And couldn't help thinking the beauty,
In mourning the loved and the lost
Was doing her eoDjugal duty
Altogether regardless Of cost.
One surely would say such devotion
Performed at so vast an expense,
Betrayed an excess Of emotion
That really was something immense;
And yet as viewed, at my leisure,
Those tokens Of tender regard,
thought 1t was scarce without measure;
The sorrow that goes by the yard.
All! grief is a curious passion;
And your's-I am sOrely afraid,
The very next phase Of the fashion
Will find 1t beginning to fade;
Tho dark are the shadows of grief,
The morning will follow the night,
Half-tints will betoken relief
Till joy shall be symboled in white
All! we'll it were idle 10 quarrel
With fashion, or aug.ht she may do;
And so l conclude with a moral
And metaphor-warranted new
When measles come handsomely yui,
The patient Is safest, they say
Aud the sorrow is mildest, no doubt
That works in a similar way
