passage of the Lachine lapids, the most
dangerous OF them all, did we see as
many blanched faces and white lips as
we saw during this exciting aDd dam
gerous race. During the afternoon We
passed through the De Place, the Long
South, the Coltan, Cedar and Cascade
Rapids, feeling less fear than the real
danger naturally inspires. These rap
ids are passages in the rivers channel,
where the descent Of the waters is un.
usually swift, and broken by project
ing rocks. The longest Of them, the
Long South, is about eight miles in
length, and the shortest perhaps a mile
and a halt. The Long South is the
most picturesque, and the Lachine the
most dangerous. The reader will re-

1t is not easy to estimate the influence
of the class of minds to which Mr.. Smith
belonged upon the current of affairs.
They do not undertake to reach specific
ends by definite means. Neither success
nor failure can, with any degree of pre-
cision, be predicated of them. They are
content with, perhaps ambitious of, TAX
ing the parts ofagitators, and accustoming
the public mind to ideas, leaving the real
ization of them to the agency OF others and
always be remembered of Mr.. Smith
that he greatly advanced the principles he
advocated in the general esteem by the
courage and constancy OF his devotion to
them. He was an anti slavery man at
time when nearly every one OF those with
whom his wealth and social relations con-
necled him looked upon the part he chose
with contempt. There were few honors
in politics which he might not have had
for the seeking. and there is no doubt that
he had keen relish for them. But he
put them all aside without hesitation. to
take conspicuous position in the ranks OF
a little party that had nothing 10 expect
but ridicule. scorn and abuse. 1t is diff
cult for those who did not witness, or per-
haps share the contest in which Mr.. Smith
bore his part so unflinchingly. to under
stand how bitter. how relentless. how ap.
parently hopeless it was. There is moth
ing like it in these days. There is no
cause in which "A man could now embark
that would call down upon him such trials.
Opposition to slavery twenty years ago.
in any form. was an open quarrel with
that most cruel and exacting OF all tyrants,
powerful, prejudiced and selfish public
opinion. We can pardon great deal OF
what seems narrowness and impracticabili-
ty to one who is an unselfish and brave
opponent of tyranny; and that is what Mr.
Smith was during the whole Of long
life.
Other qualities, besides indomitable
courage, he possessed, which entitle him
to remembrance, and to those we have
already incidentally alluded. lie was a
very generous man, and generous in ways
that few men think of or care about. 1t
would be impossible to estimate the extent
of his kind bounty to the members of that
class who, being in bonds, he remem-
bered as bound with him. He was a
great stakeholder in that peculiar institu-
ton which was the product of slavery,
and which was known as the Under
ground Railroad His estate was the di-
rect route to the Canada border, and his
house was always welcome station.
And to all his neighbors. and hundreds OF
the unfortunate who came within reach OF
his wide benevolence, he was constant
helper. All who knew him will remem-
Der of him that he led a noble life, guided
by high standards and devoted to worthy
ends"

THE SPIRIT OF CASTE.


A very noticeable feature. of tine War
moth-B yerly affair Is the spirit of caste
manifested in it. Warmoth formerly act
ed with the republicans, but went over to
the conservatives in ~. He had money
and influence. but social recognition was
denied him by the ex-rebels. They were
elad to have bis aid in political matters.
but desired no farther association with
him. This appears in the newspaper ar
ticles against him out Of which came the
ARRAY with Byerly The editorial in the
Bulletin taunted him with having aban-
doned the Republicans and joined the con-
servatives in order to gain social recogni-
ton. "He had money and power said
the writer, sin fact everything his heart
.'could wish save social recognition" and
to obtain this he offered to turn the control
of the State over into the hands of the
whites. He did all he could to make Nc
Emery governor, but the upper-crust Of
New Orleans society would not forget
that he was carpet-bagger and formerly
q republican. That Warmoth was dis
honorable man. guilty ofbase acts is true {;
but the editor who challenged him to a
deadly encounter with pistols, and the
rufian who attacked him on the street,
were no better at least than he. and yet
they were admitted to the charmed cir
cle." 1t was not that Warmoth was bad
man but because he was one Of that
class in the North which they despise-the
republicans-tha they gave him the cold
shoulder. Neither money, power, nor
apostasy could help him. Had he been
treated with contempt solely for his mis-
deeds that would have been good rea-
son, and our northern communities would
have said "served him right"
Such exhibitions of the spirit of caste
as are seen in the South are complete wet
blankets upon the efforts to draw north
ern people in that direction. They prefer
the freedom and social equality which
prevail in the North to all the tempting
inducements which the sunny skies and
tho fertile lands of the South present.
Their manhood is worth more to them
than all else beside. That social revo-
luton must take place in the South is in
evitable. The ideas of the North will
spread and take root there, and by and by
the spirit Of caste will fall as slavery fell,
from which it sprang and which it cannot
long survive.

A wronr Custom Corrected.

1t is quite generally the custom to take strong
liver stimulants for the cure of liver complaint,
and both the mineral and vegetable kingdoms
have been diligently searched to procure the most
drastic and poisonous purgatives, in order to pro-
duce powerful effect upon the liver, and arouse
the tagging and enfeebled organ. This system Of
treatment is on the same principle as that OF CIV
ing weak and debilitated man large portions Of
brandy to enable him to do certain amount Of
work. When the stimulant is withheld, the or
gan, like the system, gradually rcapses into
more torpid or sluggish and weakened condition
than before. What then is wantedf Medicines
which, while they cause the bile to flow freely
from the liver, as that organ is toned into action,
will not overwork and thus debilitate it, but will
when their use is discontinued, leave the liver
strengthened and healthy. Such remedies are
found in DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and Purgative Pellets.
