DUMAS lacked all those strong virtues
which enter into manly character. He
aeked faith, consistency, industry !; and
as fer personal purity, he seems not to
have known the meaning of the words.
He was careless and indolent, given to
sybaritism and debauchery. A writer,
he seldom wrote his own books /; poet,
he never sang two songs to the same
lady +; q man, he never paid his debts
q lover, he married to cancel an obliga-
ton a courtier, he fattered and ridi-
culed with the INT breath /; a CONVEX
sationalist, his wit was scorching, daz
cling, merciless, and impure.

Cooperation Among the Freedmen.

Cooperation Among the Freedmen.
The colored people of Calleton county,
s. O., are trying the experiment of CO.
operation on a large scale. Parties of
frpmFten to City form a society, elect
officers, and adopt,by-laws. They have
regular meetings at which the officers
report. and a sp. Gifted amount is paid
into the treasury by each member. A
suitable plantation is selected and pur-
chased, a part of the money being paid
down, aud the rest within one, tive or
three years. The land is equally dis
tributed by the officers elected for that
purpose among the members Of the So
| cietv. Each is frceto work rs suits him,
and can dispose Of his crop as he deems
proper. The only requirements are good
behavior and prompt payment of dues,
which are usually light. Any n vii
fully failing to meet his dues, or con-
victed of dishonesty, has all amounts
previously Iaid inby him refunded, and
is then invited to,lbaEe the plantation.
If anv one wishes to withdraw, he istre.
turned his share of the purchase money,
and compensated for all permanent i'm
provements. No new member is admit
ted without common consent. All the
sick are cared for by the society, it be-
ing the duty of thepficers to look after
cases of illness. If an unusually large
sum of money is necessary to relieve the
sick, a special meeting is held to raise it.
Certain officers are designated to settle
all disputes by amicable arrangement,
and they seldom fad, thus avoidingthat
petty litigation which is the bane of the
oolored people. Thesocieties are formed
chiefly of those who work for hire, fifty
cents per day being the ordinary due.
Some societies have been in operation
three or four years, and paid for their
land. There have been failures for n
time, owing to incompetent and unfaith-
full officers !; but these being removed,
things have worked well again. The So
cieties' are located principally in the low
country east of the Savannah and
Charleston railroad. While there are
colored men who by single effort have
accumulated fortunes within the past
six or eight years, the higher average of
success and prosperity is with those in
the societies. The reason is, that, by
securing 2 whole plantation, they OBJ
tain sufficient good land for their pur-
chasers, whileshe who buys for himself
generally gets a few acres, barely
enough for a poor subsistence.

Humorous.

81 HAVE told the following to SO many
people," says the Table-Talker of Once
a Week, ''all of whom found it new,
that it may be so to half the world.
Colonel NJ, of the -th, was, twenty
years ago, the best billiard. player in
the British army; and, walking into
billiard room in the Quadrant, met there
an American, who was knocking about
the balls. Sir said he, 4 like your
style of play, in rather patronizlng
tone. wal, said the transatlantic, in
an off-hand way, you are not the first
man who has said that Suppose,
said the colonel, we play game to-
gether, what points shall give You?
Guess I'll play you for any thing You
like, without the points Sir! said
the colonel, rather taken abach, per
haps you are not aware that my name
is NJ. p expecting an immediate accept
ance of any number of points,. M
presents no idea to me, says the
stranger. very good, SIR said the
colonel, with pitying smile, then l
will play you even And, before ten
strokes, he found, to his utter astonish-
ment, that he had, for the first time for
many years, got more than his own
match. After easily administering a
most hollow defeat, the American turned
to the colonel, and said, You had the
goodness, sir, to tell me that your name
was NJ, which, L said. presented no
idea to me. Mine is Jonathan kentfield,
which, guess, will present some idea
to you."

SOLAR VARIATIONS. tie as
tronomer of Rome, has concluded, from
certain observations made during the
past year, that he is justified in affirming
that there is a periodic variability in
the size of the sun. The many startling
revelations of science during the last
ten years have prepared the way for the
exceptance of even this conclusion,
though the observations on which
Secchi found his belief are as yet so few
as to still leave room for some possible
doubt on the subject. 1t would seem
that the outer surface of the sun-the
photosphere as seen by us-is gaseous
envelope in state of continual and,
perhaps, periodic change, such that the
diameter of the solar ork, as measured
by the aid of the telescope, is least in
the region of the greatest spot activity:
that is, the solar equatorial belt does
not bulge out as does that of the earth,
but, on the contrary, the solar polar
axis is the longest diameter of that
body. The excess of the polar over the
equatorial diameter is, however, very
small quantity, and may be referred
either to tides in the photosphere or to
the influence of the solar spots them
selves.

IMPURE WATER.-iSet a pitcher of ice
water in room inhabited, and in few
minutes it will have absorbed nearly all
the perspired gases of the room, the air
of which will have become purer but
the water utterly filthy. This depends
on the fact that water has the faculty of
condensing and thereby absorbing
nearly all the gases, which it does with
out increasing its own bulk. The colder
the water is, the greater its capacity to
condense and contain these gases. At
ordinary temperature, pint of water
will contain pint of carbonic acid gas
and several pints of ammonia. This
capacity is nearly doubled by reducing
the temperature to that of ice. Hence
water kept in a room awhile is always
unfit for use, and should be often re-
moved whether it be warm or not. And
for the same reason the water in pump
should all be pumped ont in the morn
ing before any of it is used. That
which has stood in pitcher over night
is not fit for coffee in the morning
Impure wateris more injurious to health
than impure air, and every person should
provide the means to obtain fresh pure
water for domestic uses. Remember
this.-Ercbdnge.
