Co-operation Among the Freedmen.
The colored people Of oalleton county,
s. G., are trying the experiment. of CO
operation on a large scale. Parties Of
from ten to fifty form society, elect
officers, and adopt bylaws. They have
regular meetings at which the officers
report, and a spf CITED amount is paid
into the treasury by each member. A
suitable plantation is selected and pur-
chasety part Of the money being paid
down, and the rest within one, two or
three years. The land is equally dis
tributed by the officers elected for that
purpose among the members of the So
ciety. Each is freeto work as 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 one viii
fully failing to meet his dues, or con-
victed of dishonesty, has all amounts
previously raid in by him refunded. and
is then invited to leave the plantation.
If any one wishes to withdraw, he il re-
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 the officers to look after
cases of illness. If an unusually large
sum of money is necessary to relieve the
sick, special meeting is held to raise it.
Certain officers are designated to settle
all disputes by amicable arrangement,
and they seldom fail, thus avoiding that
petty litigation which is the bane of the
colored 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
time, owing to Incompetent and unfaith-
ful 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 whole plantation, they OBJ
tain sufficient good land for their pur-
chasers, while he who buys for himself
generally gets few acres, barely
enough for a poor subsistence.

DUMAS lacked all those strong virtues
which enter into manly character. He
acked faith, constancy, industry and
as for 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 man, he never paid his debts /;
a lover, he married to cancel an obliga-
ton a courtier, he hattered and ridi-
cuIed with the same breath a CONVEX
sationalist, his wit was scorching, daz
zling, merciless, and impure.

The Velocity of Light.

Olaf Roemer, an eminent Danish as
tronomer, while observing the eclipses
of Jupiter's satellites, in 1876, found
that light occupied about sixteen minu-
ties and twenty-six seconds in passing
through the diameter of the earth's
orbit, and assuming the distance of the
earth from the sun to be nearly 95,OOO,-
600 miles, he determined the velocity of
light to be 1872, 800 miles in a second.
In 1923, Bradley, an English astrono-
mer, discovered the alteration of light,
and determined its velocity to be 49,
513 miles per second.
In 1849, Mr.. Fizeau invented an APP
paratue for measuring the velocity of
light between terrestrial stations, and
determined it to be 1914, 677 miles a
second.
M. Foucault, with substantially the
same apparatus, determined the velocity
TO be 1876, 1T miles per second.
Quite recently NJ. Fizeau has pub
lished the particulars of a long series of
experiments made between stations
about six miles apart, using the rays
from a oxyhydrogen light F.; and he gives,
as the mean of $50 good observations, a
velocity of 1S6, 1868 miles per second.
The result. obtained by Roemer is usual
~ given in test books, and, in fact, is
commonly quoted as the correct velocity
of light. But the close agreement of
the more recent researches of NM.
Foucault and Fizeau, and the elegant
methods used by these philosophers in
their researches, render it nearly Ger
tain that the velocity of light in the air
is between 1856, III and 1856, 1868 miles
per second.-Scientific american.

A Lobster Farm.


In order to keep up supply, lob
ster farm has been established within
the last year ON tho coast of NIassachu-
sets. A space of thirty acres of flats in
an arm of the sea was enclosed by a
dyke, with an arched way in the centre,
to permit the ebb and flow of the sea,
the tide rising three feet inside and
eight feet outside. During July and
August of 1872, 10000 of all age. sizes
and conditions were let loose in the
pond. Food, consisting of refuse from
the fish market, was plentifully sup
piled to them, and the gate was put up
to prevent their escape to the sea. Last
winter holes were cut in the ice and
traps were put down. Good hardshell
Holsters we're caught, thus proving that
the water was deep enough and pure
enough to keep the fish alive, and that
the Holsters were healthy, having taken

MArRIMoNY.-All. young men and
most young women are interested in this sub
ject as it is a condition in life to which all
look forward. and hope to obtain, but II q
young man is wise he will not take upon him
self the responsibilities OF married life until
he is in a condition to provide to a certain ex-
tent for his wife and children when he is called
away from them. In ali cases this can be done
by means of a policy of life insurance, mod
crate annual payment giving the family of the
insured comparatively large amount at his
death. One of the safest and best of these
companies is the Penn mutual life insurance
