contained those from other wards.

To move monitor without orders from her
mooring into position before the city, for the
purpose Of blowing down houses and killing
our people, is a stronger card to 60 before the
School Board with than any other. A letter

commentator. Ladies possessing the infiu-
ence of either the monitor here or the Yer

fortunate. Merit and fitness may 60 hang.

Narrow gauge railroads have been built in
most Of the States and Territories of the
Union, but as rule for short distances only.
The number of miles built is 1877, and
the number of miles of projected road 546l
The cost of building these roads and OF run
ming them afterwards is much less than for
the standard gauge roads, and it is claimed
that they are as safe and durable as roads OF
wider gauge. In Pennsylvania there are up
wards Of 125 miles Of narrow gauge roads
already built, but no road is of greater length
than IS miles. The Denver and Rio Grande
railway in Colorado is, we believe, the longest
marrow gauge" railway inNctual operation
1t skirts the foot hills Of the Rocky Mountains
for about $50 miles.

Reasons Why Everybody
Should use

l. Because in al affections Of the lungs verging
on consumption, it has been found the best syrup
to prevent that dreadful scourge, whenever
timely resorted to.
2. Because, besides it's acknowledged certainty
of cure, this truly wonderful medicine has over
most compounds Of the same nature, the decided
advantage that, owing to its agreeable flavor, it
can be administered without difficulty to children,
and requires no very particular diet.
8. Because it has been highly beneficial in all
infiammatory disorders, such as rheumatism,

MORE NEGRO OUTRAGES.

The time has come for some decided action
to be taken with reference to the better pro-
lection of Conservative colored men. Not q
day passes but what we learn of the assault Of
more than one of them by the paid hirelings,
and if it continues it will be disgrace to our
people.
In the Seventh Ward Tuesday an old col
age, was set upon by gang of black Radical
shoulder hitters, and SO severely injured that
he was taken home speechless. This took
place at the corner of Morales and Annette
Let there be measures taken to-day, before
nightfall, to stop this.
Let committee be appointed by the Parish
Committee to take the matter in hand, and if
necessary, patrols can be had, for there are
plenty of volunteers. Several of those black
scoundrels are known, and it would not be
difficult to catch them. Therefore let an Or
ganization be had and merited punishment
melted out to them. We have delayed this
matter already too long, and now our duty is
plain.
One or two ornamented lamp posts would
soon teach these scoundrels that we will not
ALLOW the colored men Of this city to be bull
lied and beaten on account of their political
ideas. If necessary, thousand men can be
detailed to secure quiet, and it should be done
at once. The Conservative colored men are
entitled to our highest consideration, for they,
in mapy instances braved certain attack to
vote with u.s. Will the citizens move at once !?

Tie public schools under Radical manage
ment are becoming stencil in the nostrils Of
honest and decent people. The good there is
in them is so completely overcome and over
whelmed by the bad that their temporary
suspension would be public blessing. With
drunken and incompetent negro as State
Superintendent, and a corrupt and notorious
~ immoral City Superintendent, we could not
reasonably expect very high state OF Ell
cheney or excellence.

D1soRAcETuL SCENE IN CoURT RooM.-
In the Augusta County court, this week, there
was series Of remarkable trials Of white wo-
men and black men for living as man and
wife, in defiance of the law. Only two of the
women, degraded and repulsive looking OBJ
jects, appeared in court, and about the same
number Of African husbands. The couples
were convicted and fined sums ranging from
$50 to $500.
In one case two of the witnesses, rather
decent looking young men, were brothers Of
one of the white women living with negro
man, and their testimony showed an absence
Of moral PERCEPTION, startling in a Christian
community. Both seemed to regard the ar
raignment of their sister as an impertinent
interference with her domestic affairs, and
gave the Commonwealth attorney pert an

The number of land owners in Engl,nd is
growing clearly less year after year. Little
less than two centuries ago it was about 20O,-
0O0 In 1851 the Census Commissioner of
England reported the astounding fact that in
that time the number of land owners Was
1915 persons. Thus the whole of England
and Wales is the private property of 30, 315
persons. This was in the spring of 1851. OF
these land owners, 17,047 were males and
ID, 26S females. Twenty years later the num-
Der Of gentlemen land owners had decreased
to IA, 1871. and the number Of lady land hold
ers to S733-22, 934 in all. Tie income OF
English land owners from their lands has in
creased enormously. The number Of land
owners, it is thought, is now smaller than at
any previous period

Among certain things which the heather
Chineee is beginning to regard as essential, in
addition to the wooden shoes and pig-tail, is 8
liberal education, and nowhere can this be
found so readily as in these United States.
The San francisco Bulletin chronicles the ar
rival in that city of ship-load Of youthful
Chinese, thirty in number. Their ages ranged
from 10 to IA years. They are in charge Of
two Government Commissioners, and their
ultimate destination is the City Of Hartford,
Conn. There are already sixty Chinese stu
dents in that little town, attending the
numerous academies in the neighbor-
hood. The city officials called on the
party at their hotel, and speeches
made by the Commissioners in very good
English. They explained that the students,
who were sent to this country at the Govern
ment's expense, wee selected by competitive
examination from the schools in Shanghai,
which is the most important educational focus
in the country. The consequence Of this sys-
tenn is the choice Of the brightest and most
promising children in China. They are
chosen without reference to the social status
Of their parents, and rich and poor share
equally in the benefits of the system. This
is republican enough to commend it. But
the most satisfactory part Of the arrangement
is, that the boys are all certified to be Of good
moral character. This is fortunate, for bad
Chinese boy is the worst in the world, next to
an American.

1t in not very pleasant fact to record that
the United States now raise only two-thirds
az much cotton as they do in British India.
This can be easily explained. Our civil war,
by making cotton worth one dollar per pound
and over, stimulated its cultivation in India,
and led to the employment in the business of
large amounts of British capital, which was
not Withdrawn after the war was over. In the
meantime the British Government, in order
to be independent Of the United States, urged
forward to completion extended lines Of rail-
road into the interior, furnishing cheap trans
portation to the seaboard. The Suez Cansi
was completed, which Immediately shortened
the distance to Europe, and was Of advantage
to the production Of cotton in India. Thus
monopoly, which the United States SO long
held in the cotton production, has been lost.
We may add, however, that the India cotton
is Of coarse fibre, and nearly all goods must
be mixed with the finer cottons of the United
States in order to make a salable article.
This matter is Of great interest to rs in the
United States, as nearly e-half Of our entire
exports in value have consisted Of this article
alone. One of the most stupid things ever
done was the internal excise which a Repub
icsn Administration put upon cotton and
continued a year or two after the war, the ten
dency Of which was to increase the price Of
the article and afford protection to the cotton
growers of British India.

Aversion TO Manual Labor.

The practice OF educating boys Tor the
professions, which are already over
stocked. or for the mercantile business,
in which statistics show that ninety-hve IN
hundred fail of success, Is fearfully on
the increase in this country. Americans
are annually becoming more and more
averse to manual labor, and 10 get liv-
ing by ones wits, even at the cost of in
dependence and selfrespect, and fearful
wear and tear Of conscience, Is the ambI-
ton Of large proportion OF our young
men. The result is that the mechanical
professions are becoming a monopoly q
foreigners, and the ownership Of the finest
farms, even in New England, is passing
from Americans to Irishmen and Germans.
Fifty years ago father was not ashamed
to put his children to the pillow or to a
mechanical trade; but now they are "tOO
feeble" for bodily labor; one has pain
in his side, another a slight cough, an
other "a very delicate constitution" an
other is nervous; and so poor Bobby or
Billy or Tommy is sent off to the city 10
measure tape, weigh coffee, or draw mo
| lasses
1t seems never to occur TO their foolish
parents that moderate manual labor IN
the pure and bracing air OF the country Is
Just what these puny, wasp-walsted lads
need. and thatto send them 10 the crowded
unhealthy city Is to send them to their
graves. Let them follow the pillow, swing
the sledge. or shove the foreplane, and
| their pinched chests will be expanded,
their sunken checks pumped out, and
| their lungs, now "cabned, cribbed, and
confined" will have room to play.
Their nerves will be invigorated with
their muscles and when they shall have
cast off their jackets instead Of being
thin, pale, vapid coxcombs, they shall
| have spread out to the size and contigera-
/ ton Of men. 4 LAYERS office, count
ing-room, or grocery is about the last
place to which sickly youth should be
/ sent The ruin Of health is AZ sure there
as in the mines Of England. Even Of
those men in the city who have constltu-
tons of iron, only five per cent. succeed,
and they only by Giving Ike hermts
and working ike horses :" the rest, after
years Of toll and anxiety, become bank
rupt or retire; and having meanwhile
acquired thorough disgust and unhtness
for manual labor, bitterly bemoan the
day when they forsook the peaceful pur-
suits Of The country for the excitement,
care, and sharp competition of city life.
