Southern Prejudice and Immigra-
ton.

A letter from former resident of
Grant County, now in the South,
says; III came here expecting to
find the old prejudices of the South
ern people against the Northerner
removed. was born and raised in
the South, and until within year
have spent the last quarter of CEN
fury in the North. But l .Snd that
my residence IN the North has made
me oven dotestable here among the
whites"
The States recently in rebel
lion do not easily recover from the
effects Of the war. The whites were
not accustomed to labor in the times
of slavery rule, and since the eman-
cipation Of the blacks they in the ag-
gregate work less than they former
ly did. The consequence is there is
really less labor performed in the
South than before the war All real
prosperity in any country has its
foundation upon labor In reading
accounts Of the state of trade we
learn that there is a great lack of
capital in the South to develope its
resources. Property Of all kinds is
cheap. Lands can be bought as low
as five dollars per acre The calls for
immigration to the South has not
practically worked well, because the
natives feel ayersed to the Northern
people and the latter do not feel at
home in those localities 1t has been
recommended that colonies go in
companies OF at least five hundred,
but particularly this can not work
well. 1t would require great effort
to get that number ofpcople together
who all wanted TO go at ono time TO
one particular place. Society ought
TO be OF such q character that single
immigrant might be made to feel at
home in the community. 1t would
be great benefit to the South if the
people could lay aside their preiudices
and give hearty and hospltablo
welcome to newcomers, and thus
build up a homogeneous society.
This difficulty prevailed before the
war as much as it does NOW. A per-
son from the North was looked up
on with suspicion, and he had to be
very careful how he expressed him
self in regard to Southern institutions.
The peculiariLes of the Southern PEG.
pie seem to remain, and they are so
we'll understood that immigrants
avoid these antagonisms.

Supreme Court in regard to the right
of State Governments to tax National
Bank stock owned by persons resid.

French soldier was wounded in the
left parietal bone. Although he recov-
cred from the lesion, the man leads two
distinct lives. For two days in the
month he neither sees nor smells, and,
in fact, is destitute Of every sense ex-

publication
WHEREAS, In the Providence Of God, we
are called upon to mourn the loss Of our
departed Brother, VIM. Paist, who died at
his residence, near this city, Oct 18th,
1874, in the 50th year of his age; we
therefore, the members Of North Star
Grange Of the Patrons of Husbandry, do
here set forth and declare, that our depart
ed brother was charter member Of this, the
North Star Grange of P. Of H., that he held
the position Of Master and Secretary Of
this Grange, and at his death was Secreta-
ry of the State Grange, the duties Of which
position he discharged with great fidelity
and ability.
That his warm heart and cheerful dispo-
sition lighted up every circle whether in
business or social life, in which he moved.
That our Order Of Patrons Of Husbandry
owe him debt Of gratitude for his unfag-
ing efforts in its behalf. In its darkest
days when it was question whether the
Order should live or die. he never gave up
| but labored, we may truly say to the end
| Of his life in it's behalf. May his memory
long live green in the hearts Of all true
| Patrons.
That our departed brother was true to
all the obligations of patriotism and citi-
zenship. He proved his devotion: to his
country by going three years of his life, as
soldier in its service during the late war.
That he was equally distinguished in the
many responsible positions held by him in
| the civil service Of our country.
That we tender to his bereaved family,
this our testimonial ofithf wqfth and char
acter of the husband/and-ffher, and our
3"s. hsartfs!. sympathy lin t1f'r irrsp'r"''s
That copy of these resolutions be sent

Now, the moral I wish you to draw

Now, the moral I wish you to draw
is. this: do moi. any Of you be disheartz
ened because you. think yourselves slow
or stupid, even though you may really
at present appear, to have good ground
for the belief, and: do not, on the other
hand, any Of you be confident Of the
future merely because you know or
believe yourselves to have what is
called cleverness. IF / were to tell you
that in my belief, that particular quail
ty Of intellectual quickness and sharp
ness is by no means the first qua!ifca-
tion for successful career, many peo-
pie would consider, in these days Of
competitive examinations, that was
wilfully indulging in a paradox. But
[ believe it is the truth. Talent is the
edge of the kpife which makes it pene-
trate easily, but whethe9 it penetrates
deeply ofnot depends quite as much
on the force applied to it as on the
sharpness Of the blade.

Success.

Lord Derby in an address delivered
before the students of the Liverpool
College made some remarks which
should be read and re-read by every
young man throughout the civilized
world, and for their great merit and
freshness we commend the following
extract:
The victories of mature life, in what
ever sphere Of action, are for the most
part gained with effort, disputed while
their noveltry remains, AND admitted
only, when, with their novelty, whatev-
er enjoyment they cotld~ ~bfing, has for
the most part passed off.
An early success, although it gives a
lad a good start, gives him little else ;
that the race of life is a race which
tests endurance. more than speed ; that
some Of the most hopeless failures in
mature years have been Of the dashing,
brilliant, clever young fellows who
seemed at school and college to carry
everything before them; and that the
slow, plodding lad who seems to have
nothing in his favor except dogged
determination to go on, often comes
out better than either he himself, or
his friends expected. There occur to
me the cases of. two men, one within
my own personal recollection, the other
belonging to the preceding generation,
who rose in due course to fill some of
the highest offices in the State, and
filled them not unworthily; who were
at college, as I have been informed, al
most the habitpal objects of good
natured ridicule among their acquiant-
ances for what was considered to be
their texceptionalSslo Sslowness of compre-
hension; and, on the other hand, I
really should not like to inquire-for,
though al interesting piece of social sta
tistics, itwould be a very painful one
how many high wranglers At Cambridge,
aud first-c class men at Oxford, how many
winners in their day, Of prizes and
scholarships haHe9 seen their boats 90
down wien they have pushed out into
the rough open sea of the world, and
are now painfully struggling for ! bare
tnbsistence, perhaps at some Fretched
literary hackveak yoes possibly keeping
sheep in Australia, and doing odd jobs
for a employer who, very likely can
