CHARLES O'CONNOR, the great New
York lawyer, is reported to have said
recently, in speaking Of the future of
the negro race, that "eXtirpatiou or
exile appeared to be an impending me-
cessity." The Memphis Appeal, one
of the ablest and staunchest of south
ern newspapers, takes issue with Mr..
OConnor, and expresses its convic-
tions in the following editorial
Mr.. OConnor's plan of "extirpation
or exile" Is certainly absurd. The
transporting of four millions of people
to distant country is too big a Job for
even America to undertake. The COM
bined navies of the world would be in
adequate to the task of removing them
to Africa, aud the expense would
bankrupt the country. The expense
incurred by removing a few Indians to
the west, created "A heavy national
debt, and the idea Of removing several
millions of negroes across the ocean is
preposterous.

facts demonstrate most conclusively
that the two races must live together
as friends or foes. 1t Is to the inter-
ests OF both to cultivate friendly rela.
tions, and to oppose all combinations
calculated TO array the two races

about ''reservation,;' 'extlrpation,h

the black man of the south accept the

The Fur Seal Islands of Alaska.


Up In the heart, as it were, Of Beh-
ring sea lies a small group Of islands, to
the rocky shores of which annually re-
pair millions of highly organized ami
mails to breed and shed their hair and
fur. insignificant landmarks are these,
the Pribylov islands, but the sixty
square miles of their area support more
available wealth to-day than all the rest
of the five hundred thousand belonging
to Alaska strange stoekyard of am
phibious beasts, which are universally
deemed wild and wary, but among mil
lions OF which the agents of the govern
ment walk on their tours of inspection
without giving or experiencing serious
alarm. 80
It is remarkable that while thousands
of men and millions of dollars have
been employed in capturing, dressing,
and selling fur seal skins during the
last hundred years, yet since the time
of Steller, in 1751, up to the beginning
of the last decade, even the scientific
world knew nothing definitely Ia regard
to the habits of this valuable animal,
although the truth connected with the
life of this seal of the Pribylov islands
is far stronger than fiction.
With the exception of our seal is
lands, there are none others of much
importance elsewhere in the world, the
vast breeding grounds in the antarctic
having been, by the united efforts of all
nationalities, misguided, short-sighted,
and greedy of gain, entirely depopu-
lated. Only a few thousand unhappy
stragglers are now to be seen on the
Falkland islands and contiguous islets,
where millions once were found, and
small rockeries are protected and fos-
tered by the government of Buenos
Ayres north and south of the mouth of
the Rio de Ia Plata but the seal life
on the PribyloY islands, thanks to the
foresight of the Russians, has been pre-
served to the present day in all of It's
original integrity and wonder.
The seal islands of Alaska are four in
number, two of which, however, are
mere rocks, and of little or no import
ance compared with the others, St. Paul
and st. George, the former of which is
the great seal ground of the northern
hemisphere, and without parallel at
the present time on the face of the
globe. This little island lies in latitude
81 degrees s minutes north, longitude
40 degrees II minutes west, and is
visited annually by over five millions of
fur seals; while st. George. lying to the
southeast, only twenty seven miles from
st. Paul, is resorted to by less than two
hundred and fifty thousand, the nature
of the coast, high, bald, and bluffy, not
permitting the breeding seals to lie upon
the beaches in safety. The other two
unimportant islets-Otter, five miles
south of st. Paul, and Walrus island,
six miles east of the same-are not un-
worthy of mention, especially the lat
ter, upon which herds of hundreds of
immense bull walruses can be viewed to
the greatest advantage at all seasons of
the year, in company with clouds of
breeding waterfowl L-Harper's MagG-

Ideal Feet.

The celebrated anatomist, Prof Hyrtl,
of the Vienna university, recently open
ed one of his lectures TO his class with
the singular question, Which is the
most beautiful foot, considered from
the anatomical standpoint ?" and then
said cit is remarkable that there can
be so many divergent opinions on this
subject. While the sons of men look
upon small, slender and graceful foot
Of lady's foot) as an ideal one, the
anatOmist utterly rejects it as beauti-
full, and only the large, long and broad
foot is the ideal one in his eyes. Even
the greatest classical writers of antiqui-
ty-Horace, Catullus and others-who
had great appreciation of feminine
beauty, never mentioned. in the de
scriptions Of their beloved, their small
feet. The people belonging 80 the Gel
tic race have small feet the Hindoos,
especially, have such small feet and
hands that they may be envied by many
European countesses- The native
troops of the English army in India
possess in England their own armory,
where peculiar kirds of weapons are
constructed for them. The sword hilts
made Tor them are much too small for
us to grasp with ease. The greatest
beauties of Europe-the Italians-have
really long and broad feet"

Actors nd soeiety.

A writer In an English paper says :
No doubt the stigma imposed upon
the stage since the time of Thespis is
due to some suspicion in the public
mind that the social morals are never
observed with all the exactness possible
by the professors of the dramatic art.
Ia France the church for ages brutally
refused them christian burial, and even
among ourselves acts of parliament
treated them as vagabonds. But I have
been assured, on eminent authority,
that such suspicion is groundless, and
that the attitude of society towards
these children of the sock and buskin
has arisen from misconstruction Of
their conduct and behavior. The levi
ty it condemns is only the outward ex-
preston of an artless nature, unencum-
bered with the eonventionRlities of life.
OF course men and women of the stage,
as well as other people, make casual
slips. According to tradition, some
even among the angels have fallen. But
as e race the theatrical profession is dis
tinguished for higher code of morals
than any other class and it is contend
ed by those best informed In the matter
that decided predilection by any young
lady for the stage arises, as q rule, from
her desire to cultivate art and virtue.
The world always treats its best people
unjustly, and thus scandal misappre-
hends and naisinterPrets the ingenious
ways of the actor and actress. The life
they lead. regarded IN its true signid
canoe. is therefore TO be regarded as q
protest Of nature and impulse against
the hard, cruel, and absurd laws Of So
ciety. and as such should secure sympa-
thy If not admiration.

Best Voc for Ruttsr-Tubs.

There are but few kinds of wood that
are fit to be used for packing butter,
even Tor a short time. White oak is
considered the best of anything in ccz-
mon use. Ash is used considerably, but
il is said to contain an acid which wlu
iniure the butter in a short time. Pine,
spruce, and other resinous woods are
sometimes used, but are Questionable
as they impart their peculiar taste 70
the butter. Whatever wood is used, il
should be previously prepared for re-
ceiving the butter by soaking in brine
couple of days, then pour in boiling
brine and let it remain two days longer.
The hot brine takes out most of the
wood taste, and fills the pores with salt
instead. which helps to keep the tub
sir-tight. The importance of sanding
butter to market in suitable packages is
not fully appreciated by many dairy
men. At the Vermont dGirymen's meet
ing, last winter, Mr.. Henry Stuart read
q paper on the question Of butter max
ing and butter mazketing, looking ak Il
from the standpoint of the consumer.
he said it takes four times as long to
use pound of poor butter IN family
as it does OF one pound of that which Is
good. If al the butter that vas made
was of q good quality, the CONSUMPTION
would be increased = great ektent.
A person can find but little frst-rate
butter in the hands of the grocer. The
purchaser Of poor butter considers him
self i'll used and grumbles. Much but
ter is spoiled by being packed in uBpre-
pared tubs or IN secondhand tubs.
He once made butter, and on one occa-
sion sent of a package in tubs that had
been used previously. he was returned
twenty-seven cents per pound, instead
of forty cents, as he would have had If
the tubs had been new and sweet. Then
much butter is spoiled in the hands of
dealers by allowing il to stand in close
proximity to packages of Goldfish, on
ions, kerosene oil, maekerel and tobae-
co. Would line the boxes with cloth,
saturated with strong brine. He had
made and put up butter that sold in a
country town for fifty cents, when ordi-
nary butter from the groeers brought
but twenty-five cents. The suet butter,
as it is called, though it is not legal TO
sell it under the name of butter, is
vastly better than much real butter that
is exposed for sale In our cities.

"I have often reflected" says the

There has been much labor performed
during the past week, in which Speaker
Blaine has been very active, looking to
a compromise currency bill. It is un-
derstood that a measure including the
following points has been agreed upon
by a number of the most prominent
leaders on each side:
1. Free banking on the present basis
with some of the present restrictions on
the reserves removed.
2. Retiring 90 per cent. in greenbacks
of the new banking currency issued un-
til greenbacks are reduced to $500, 600,
600, the limit at which retirement shall
begin, whether at the present volume
or when it has reached 500, 200, O0O
8. Redemption of greenbaelzs in Al

extreme desires $50 and the other 5 per
cent.

Most persons in this country or in
Europe who have heard of Lookout

been told of the Gabattle shove the
clouds" It was my fortune TO scale
the remarkable palisade at time " hen
the broad plateau which runs along its
summit was literally enshrouded in for
rnidable rnists. The rain was falling in
torrents as, with two companions, I gal
loT,ed through the little town at the
foot of the mountain +; but, ere we had
scaled the winding road, the shower was
over. and brisk wind began to stir the
mi8ts. We could see little but the
Iedges along whose sides the route ran,
but as We arrived nearly at the summit,
the mist curtsin was lifted for an IN
slant, and revealed to us delicious ex-
panse of valley, with sunlight smiles
here and there chasing away the rains
tears. Then We were shrouded in again,
and our horses, apparently inspired by
the gloomy grandeur OF the occasion,
ratified furiously along the hard roads,
over which the boughs hung uncom-
forta5ly near our heads. The red sandy
clay nourishes enormous pines, whose
roots have here and there been dis
turbed by the sandstone powders, and
stretched out their fibeEs IN desperate

Of stone, carved by the storms and pol

Of the valley, and disdainfully frOwns
down npon the Tennessee, spurned from
