tits the Treasury Department
which has earned gratitude
from "the fourth estate" AcS
cording to a dispatch TO the
the Republic, the case came up
on the claim Of an American
journalist returning from Eu-
rope. who asserted his right
to import his purchases Of
books for bis professional journ-
alistic library duty free, under
the provisions which permits
the free importation of books
to be used III the library of a
physician, an attorney or q
clergymaf. The Baltimore
custom officers ruled that i
journalist could dot claim the
the benefits of that law for the
reasons; as they put it, that
journalism is not a profession;
but tile Secretary Of the Treas
lry, III substance, decided that
Journalism Is 4 profession Id

Recently a telegraph clerk
in France refused to transmit
a message in these words;
"Third epistle Of John, verses
thirteen and fourteeD," under
the laws which forbids thd
transmission Of dispatches not
written in plain language.
Reference to the text indicates
that the dispatch was merely
an economy Of words. The
text is as follows: II have
many things to write unto
thee, but | will not with ink
and pen write unto thee; but
/ trust / shall shortly sec thee;
and we shall speake face to

A story is told Of All 6ngin>
eer Oh the Union Pacific rail,
road who ran a race with death
at the rate of forty miles an
hour, and won by five seconds.
He was driving the passenger
tpain west; and was taken sud.
denly and seriously i'll. He
seemed to be aware that death
was near, yet the train must
reach Cheyenne before ho could
be relieved. That was the end
Of his route. He increased the
speed of the engine and ran
for life. Forty miles an hour
saved his distance. He reach>
ed Cheyenne ahead Of time,
and when the engineer who
was to relieve him stepped
aboard the engine lie family
gasped: Take the engine !;
I'm ready to die now.'' lii FIVE
seconds he was a corpse. If
Death had stepped aboard be-
fore the other engineer, what
wonld have been the conse-
quence to the passengers7 But
they did not see the grim
spectre rnnning the engine,
like q phantom train. It was
a very close shave, and is .
frightful instance Of a man re-
naming at the post of duty
just long enough.

Three names are now pr0ni-
nently mentioned by Southern
newspapers. in connection with
the Speakership ofthe XLIVth
Congress-Alex. III. Stephens
and Julian Hartridge Of Geof>
gia, L. G. @. Lamar Of Missis-
sippi. The latter seems to be
the favorite. although the elec>
|tion for Congressman does not
take place in Mississippi until
next year. The Memphis APP
peal says there could be no
better evidence Of a restored
union and a common mothers
hood, the existence of a nation
al that knows no section, than
Mr.. Lamar's reelection to Con-
gress, and adds: "His elo-
qnent aud patriotic eulogy on
the death of Charles Summer
did more to mollify the enmity
OF the North towards the South
than any other incident since
the war. It was the keynote
for that brotherhood which the
result of the recent elections
indicate is to subsist hereafter
between the two sections. The
hearty and graceful testimony
|of Mississippi's gifted son.
meant something more than a
mere persona! compliment to
personal merit. 1t Indicated
the true conciliarory senti-
medts Of the people Of the
South With whom tile North
had not for many years been
en- terms Of unconstrained
fflendship. Hamar's speech
broke down the barriers. and
now there is no line which
marks the division between
Massachusetts and Mississippi,
as indicated BY the retent cleo
tions. Such q man as Speaker
would be all unerring indica>
tion Of the national spirit Of
the Democracy"

Why SOUTHERN PLARrERs

DO NOT PROsPER.-Among 9TH
er things in relation to the
prospects of Southern planters
and their want OF PROSPERITY,
the Augusta tGa.) Constitu-
tiohalist says: "Anothef cause
for the existing poverty Of the
farmer is that many of them
have their htlnes in the cities
and leave their lands to the
care of overseers. There are
many incidents which illustrate
the folly of this policy. Just
after the war one of the
richest planters in the state

died, leaving 1900 acres Of the
finest land in Georgia to his
two sons. Insteand of raising
their own supplies, as their
provident father had done,
these young men bought every
thing they wanted on credit,
employed an overseer, and,
Ike desperate gamblers, staked
their fortunes OH ohe card:
They planted cotton. They
made a tery large crop; but
prices hae goht down, aud
they were charged exborbitant
rates Of interest for the money
advanced to them. The result
was that at the end of the year
they found themselves slightly
