TIE LABOR QUESTION.


The labor question has become an
important one, alike in tie manufac-
turing and cotton-growing States.
In the former, the growth and influ-
ence Of 'Trades-Union' are giving
manufacturers no little trouble and
in the latter. the disposition of the
negroes to hire only for part of the
crop, and stipulating ''the crop"
shall be cotton only, is surely bank
rnpting the planters, who now see
and feel it, but arc pewerless to
avert the evil. The experience Of
the past few years has demonstrated,
to cultivate cotton only is financial
ruin; but since they can hire labor
to cultivate nothing else. many have
been hoping some lucky hit might
save them.
Some writer's have advanced the
idea, that the Negro works better as
freeman than he did as slave, and
cite. in support OF this, the increased
production of cotton-the great
Southern staple All such are igno-
rant of a fact patent to all convers-
ant with the condition of affairs in
the South before and since emanci-
patton. During slave times, ma
jority of the planters produced sui
cient breadstuffs to feed their labor
ers; now such is no longer the case,
the entire negro working force Of the
South is engageds in the production
of cotton, and hence the increase.
But for this, and extending the area
of cotton culture, the production
would be one-fourth less, and many
think one-third less, than before the
negro became free.
It is now generally conceded in
the late slave States, that free labor
is cheaper than slave, and but for it's
unreliability, would be greatly pre-
ferred but this unreliability is so
great, as not only to be decidedly
annoying, but sometimes to entail
decided loss. On the least pretence,
and sometimes on no pretence at all,
the laborer abandons his work, for
feits his contract, and takes himself
off at a time when his services are
the most valuable, and his place can
noCbe filed. Against this evil, there
isno present remedy; perhaps after
being educated to understand the
binding force of a contract, the negro
may do better. Emancipation found
him ignorant, idle, improvident, and
totally unfit for the change in his
condition, and the wonder is, he has
done as well as he has. Education
may, and probably will elevate him
mentally and morally. and as he
advances in mental and moral cul-
ture, become more careful, prudent
and Industrious. and being in daily
contact with superior race, his adj
vancement must be more rapid than
hitherto. and many objections to him
as laborer. now existing. will then
cease.
We are more hopeful Of the future
of the negro than are many others
in the South. and sincerely believe,
if let alone by pretended friends, lie
will solve an important political and
social problem and as sincerely be-
lieve the efforts now being made, in
the United States Congress, to force
social equality, will result in serious
injury to him. And here permit us
to ask, why endeayor to force an
inevitable rusult? Political equality
will, IN time, beget social equality!
There is no help for it; and when it

comes, as gradually it must come,
all will acquiesce. But attempt to
enforce it before public opinion is
ready to receive it, and it creates an
antagonism between the races that
time will fail to heal. @.

The Rose Gardens of France.

The rose gardens of France are eel
ebrated. Acres and acres Of roses
bloom in them for the perfumer.
Heliotrope, magnonette and other
floral plants are also found side by
side with them in dense masses. The
air is heavy with almost sickening
fragrance, and for miles around the
breeze bear the sweet tidings that
they "have flown Ger the gardens of
Gul in their bloom" But who has
heard of an English lavender field?
Very few certainly in this country.
Fewer still have seen one. Yet
within thirty miles Of London these
lavender fields have become quite
an extensive and recognized industry
and there is annually produced in
England alone sufficient oil from the
plant to manufacture thirty thousand
gallons of spirits Of lavender, besides
large quantity, the total Of which
is unknown, to be used in the produc-
ton of other perfumes with more pre-
tentious names. The plant is at the
best between three years of age and
seven. The harvest time is the first
week in August. The flowers are
then cut and taken to the distillery,
followed by an innumerable num-
Der of bees, which insects are espec-
tally fond Of them.-Here the essen
tial oil is pressed out, and is ready
to be mixed with the proper ingredi-
ents to make lavender water.

Remarkable Longevity.

During the year 1873 ffty-two per-
sons over ninety years old died in
New Hampshire. OF these one was
one hundred and two years, one month
and twenty days; one was one hun
dred years, one month, and nineteen
days; one was ninety-nine years and
ten months; three were over ninety
eight, one over ninety-seven, one over
ninety-six, four were more than nine
ty-fve, eight were more than ninety
four, over ninety.three, ten over
;ninety-two, FIVE over ninety-one, and
the remainder were in their ninety
first year. Tweuty-one Of these were
females. The united ages of the fifty
two amounted to four thousand eight
hundred and ifty-four years, ten
months, and ten days, making an
average of more than ninety-three
years. No record is made of any one
even one day short of ninety.

Grace Greenwood Beautiful
In her Old Age.
From the Press.

At the last Saturday evening
"reunion" Grace Greenwood, in her
inimitable way, gave us dramatic
readings in costume. Her persona
tions exceeded anything the writer
has seen on the stage or in private
life. Charlotte Cushman, Fanny;
Kemble, Scott Siddons, last but not
least, our own Grace Greenwood
make all the stars of the first mag
nitude that we have now in this par
tcular heavens of genius. Attorney
General Williams says that he looks
upon Grace Greenwood as the best
writer and the most gifted woman in
the country This decision is legal,
and may be considered final. Years
ago the great and good Horace Mann
said that she was not only "the most
gifted, but that she was the most
beautiful woman he had ever seen;
and his passion for her in youthful
days WAS as pure as though she had
been a disembodied spirit. 1t is SO
rare that beauty and genius are we'd
deI to one soul. In the opinion of
the writer, Grace Greenwood is a
handsomer woman at fifty than:in the
"long ago. 1t is the difference between
the budding green of April and the
garnered glory of September. If her
portrait was taken as she stands be-
fore us to-day and hung in the Cor
coran gallery, the spectator would say
this must be a Roman matron who
lived beforesthe pail of the Middle
Ages darkened the earth" How does
she look?-a brunette of the purest
type, with clear-cut features, sorrow
full, inquiring eyes, .. that shine as
though a quenchless flame burned
somewhere in the solitude Of her own
soul. There are some pictures which
are burned into the human mind. We
shall never forget her personation of
"Over the Hills to the Poor House, "
one Of Carletcn', poems. The power
ty-stricken outfit, the worn carpet
bag, the iron-bowel spectacles, the
gray hair. From'the highest to the
humblest of that goodly company
scarce dry eye was to be seen. Then
she told us what Miss Tattle, from
Buttonville, saw at a Reflective Ses-
sion cf the Senate" This was fol-.
lowed by that which proves man to
have been the only created laur hing
animal"
