care not who makes its laws thus in
timating the great power of music and
song. This power 10 everywhere recog-
nized and is one Of the most potent for
good or evil according to the character OF
the words aud sentiment. sung. Songs
of n sacred and clevating character are
the great powers Of reform in all our
refugees and farm schools. We are led
to these reflections by the influence which
the singing Of the children
Of the Lutheran Sunday School
has ever had upon their parents and all
who visit the school. II is one Of the
great powers which stimulate. these little
ones to the many noble and self denying
acts of benevoeuce and charity they
carry out in this city. No doubt vast

The GERMAN OCEAN ONCE DRY
LAND.-The German Ocean, or North
Sea, like the English Channel. is sup
posed to have been once an island
plain or valley raised far above the
sea level, The sea has but recently
Invaded the pressing plain, submerged
| it's forests, and superseded its river
courses. The buried trees of its
sunken forests are still standing, root
ed in their own vegetable soil, al
though beneath the waves. Cromer
Forest, which dips into the waters
from the coast of Norfolk, is the most
famous of the submerged forests of
the German Ocean. This ancient
woodland has been traced at low tide
for more than forty miles. At GER
tain seasons, and especially after
great storms, the stumps Of oak, al
der, yew, and Scotch fir are seen
standing upwright in the water
The condition Of the wood and OF the
fir cones (some Of the latter obviously
bitten by animals) tells us that the
sinking of the land here occurred at
no distant period in the physical his
tory of our country. The remains OF
land animals, too, as we'll rs of the
forests they inhabited, are discovered
in the bed of the German ocean. In
his Physical Geography Of Norfolk"
Mr.. Woodward tells us that in less
than fifteen years the fishermen of the
village Of Happisburgh dredged up
from their oyster beds as many as
two thousand teeth Of mammoths.
Bones and tusks Of mammoths have
also been fished up from these watery
depths. 1t takes US back to the time
when the European mainland, instead
Of terminating, as it does to-day, with
the coasts Of Norway and France,
stretched far westward in one unbro-
ken area, beyond the present coast of
Ireland. These were the furnishing
DAYS of the forests of oak, which are
now submerged in the German Ocean
and the English Channel.

The Avalanche and II Penseroso now
have good chance to crawl out OF the

Immediately after writing his last letter he
goes on a prospecting trip. We attacked
him because, after him making the attack,
he should suit our convenience a little.
And, while speaking Of conveniences, 1t
occurs to us that we gave him a rub IN
our reference to the Fem Bennett contest

was convenient for him to reply, and he
failed to do so. A poor excuse is better
taan none, especially when II Penseroso is

above mentioned, who, for conven'

repeated calls Uncle Josh consented
to accompany the deacon to one OF

the "school-house" one evening much
to the surprise Of all present. In the
course of the evening the deacon
arose with a penitentiM countenance
to tell his experience. he was the
prince of sinners, he said If he got
his deserts he could he banished for

the sublime sense Of having done his

THE TRUTH AT LAST.

About the time our civil war wa:
brought to close or shortly thcrcat
ter, there was quite commotipl
raised in regard to the destruction b,
fire of the beautiful city Of Columbia
South Carolina Gen. Sherman dc
clarcd in an official report that Gcncr
al Wade Hampton caused the city t
be set on fire, and this was taken (
be the truth BY Northern people, BE-
cause the charge emanatcd from sncl
a high source. Some years after
wards. Gen. Sherman reported thu
story in public speech, and after
wards interested himself in the mat
ter when an investigation was about
to be made by the Claims Commission
to ascertain if the American Govern.
ment was responsible for the loss Of a
large amount Of cotton destroyed at
the same time the city was reduced
to ashes, which belonged to English
merchants. Gen. Hampton then adj
dressed letter to the proper Depart
ment, asking that it be submitted to
Congress, and suggested that Com
mittcc be appointed to visit Columbia
and full y investigate the matter, say
ing: Il have been charged by Gen.
Sherman with the commission Of a
great crime, and it is due to me that
the most searching investigation
should be had, that the crime may be
charged where it properly belongs"
The high character Of Gen. Sherman
for vcracity was considered sufficient
evidence Of the truth Of the charge,
and General Hampton's letter was
treated with contempt. The matter
had almost passed from the minds of
all save those interested in the matter,
until the publication of Gen. Shcrman's
Memoirs, in which he declares the fire
the result OF accident. This is tardy
Justice to brave officer, but it will not
add much to the reputation of General
Sherman. Here is what he says about
it: "Many of the people thought that
this fire was deliberately planned and
executed. This is not true. It was
accidental, and in my judgment began

THE DEACON AND HIS CALF.-Last
Sunday, just as one of our stralghtest
deacons were getting ready to shake
the lines over his horses backs and
say "ge dap" his wife happened to
remember that the calf hadn't been
fed. The deacon looked at his Sunday
clothes and observed that he did not
deem it incumbent upon him to suffer
for the negligence of others; to which
the dcaconess replied that such Ian
guage in the presence of the children
on Sunday morning, and from pill
lar Of the church, was enough to shake
ones belief in the professions that had
been made by some one she could

ON the twentieth instant there vii. be
inaugurated the commencement exer-
cises Of the lie Moyne normal school, an
institution established and supported by
the American missionary association,
composed chiefly OF Congregstlonalists.
This association has been tae means of
great good among the coloIed people,
having expended % the south every
year since 1855, fJr educational purposes
alone, from three hundred thOusand
to one million dollars. At present it
supports q staff OF three hundred and
fly teachers employed in the south
era States, and has in this State
three 6ne normal school build
ings-that at Nashville being
worth 100000, that at Chattanooga
$4,000, sud that Of this city $4,000.
The latter, located on Orleans street,
between Linden aud Besle streets, has
two hundred aud eighty pupils in at
tendance, not few Of them in train
ing for the arduous and responsible
duties Of teacher, and thus it answers all
the purposes OF q colored high-school,
saving to the city the expenses
attending its maintenance and support.
That such an institution, sustained by
the voluntary contributions Of north
eTn people, should 50 far have
been neglected by our philan-
thropists is to be accounted for, perhaps,
on the score Of q prejudice that we
think we can safely say exists no long.
eT. This being the case, may we not
hope for the attendance Of that class
during commencement week, the ser
vices If which will be inaugurated by a
sermon from Rev David Walk, to be
followed by other exercises on succeed
ing days OF the week, until Thursday, the
twenty-fouTtb, when the diplomas and
medals will be awarded. Our board Of ed
ucation should make it 2 point to have a
delegation present each day, especially
on the twenty-foUTth, aud our religious
teachers and leading citizens concerned
for the education Of the colored people,
should manifest by their presence their
Involvement Of 50 creditable a public in

ARTIFICIAL STOLE.
a New Enterprise, Worthy CT che Pat.
FOnaEe of the People OF aEem.
phis-SampIes, and where
They Can be Seen.

Among the patents issued on May
IS, 1875, for the week, was one to cur
enterpTising citizens Hans Lemon,
James a. Cameron, and HarlZel HaineT,
for improvement ia artificial stone. We
congratulate these gentlemen for having
go valuable and necessary an invention,
that of making stone ready for the
builder in whatever shape, style, pat
tern or device, AM so much cheaper
than quarTied stone. Mr.. Lemon has
for many years known the art of max
ing a good stone, as is to be seen by the
many specimens in this city. Among
them the piece in front of the Evening
Ledger Office, that has been down at
least five years and is ss good Sc new to-
day; the ornaments on the front Of the
Southwestern Publishing house, that
were placed there when the building
was erected, in 1857; also the cross on
the Grace Episcopal church, placed
there when it was erected, in 1859, and
much other old work. OF new work is
the blocks OF stone in front OF this office,
that in Court square, and many pave
ments about the city. Some of the pave,
ments are OF other compound, and you
must not confOund one with the other.
For the past three months a Company
has been formed with their factory on
Union street, near HernandO, for the
making OF building material, such as
window -sills, water-tables, coping, chin
ney-caps, and fiues. This factory is well
worth q visit to, as in these dull times 1t
must really be q good enterprise that
can now be started in Memphis. Fire
and water has little Or no effect on this
stone, therefore its superiority for build
ing purposes. Mr.. Charles KOrtrecht,
Mr.. J. w. Cochran and Mr..
S. J. Camp are the additional
moving spirits to give this enter
prise the proper impetus. 1t is the in
tentiOn Of the patentees TO establish COM
panies in every large city in the United
States, and they are ready to confer
with any parties from abroad regarding
the same. Mr.. James A. Cameron in
tends visiting our sister cities of the
northwest shortly on this business, but
before doing so, which will not be for a
few weeks, parties desiring to CORE
spOnd may address either of the
patentees at this city. The
specimens we have seen of this stone,
we can safely say, are as good as any
sand or limestone we ever saw, and the
old works alluded to in this article are
as good as when they were placed there
from ten to fifteen years ago. All the
parties now interested are old, tried bust
ness men, and reliable citizens Of Mem
phis.
