A CORRESPONDENT Of the Albany 14rgus
makes the following suggestion, which if
practieed, will not detract from the fun,
while it adds to the fairness Of spelling
matches: The average spelling match gives
hardly fair test Of the orthographical abil-
ity of those engaged in such wCrdy contests.
A good spelier might get his quietus on the
first word put 10 him, while he was able to
spell every other word On the list. There
fore it is unjust to give the prizes to those
who are so fortunate as to be correct in the
few words which happen to fall to them. 4
better method than the old one Is, TO let each
competitor write down the whole list stimuli
taneously as it is given out, sign the paper
and hand it To the committee. This being
done, sides may be chosen in the usual way,
and the fun of the thing viii not be inter
fered with, while the object of the trial Will
be fairly accomplished. The first prize
should be given to the person spelling the
largest number correctly, and the secoud to
the individual who spells all down. This IS
the only fair way, and if our spelling match
Is to be a success, 1t will De adopted 4 pub
/ lie announcement of such a course would
draw out large number Of spellers.

THE fashion which fOybids the widow on
marrying again to appear at the altar in a
bridal veil is derived, like many of cur Gus
toms, from medieval superstitions. The
Church regarded the second marriage of a
woman as inficting stain upon her woman
hood. For this reason, while the virgin
bride stood at the altar decked in all the
insignia of virginity-white veil, flowing
hair, crown wreath, unglOved hand-the
widow who married again was allowed none
Of these, and was especially required to ap-
pear at the altar gloral, il order that her hand,
which a second uar-iIge was supposed TO
poIlute, should not touh the pure, sanctiied
hand of the representative OF the Church or
his sacred robes Of ofics. This Is curious
superstition. and ike others OF Its sort pro-

THE SOUTHERN: NEGRO.
Republican Ofiice-HOlder Advises their
shipment TO Africa.

The third term movement has taken
new phase in Georgia, where Mr..
Alexander q. Murray, an eminent law
yer, federal otiice-holder. and an ar.
dent supporter of Grant, has issued a
/ pamphlet in which he promulgates his
views on The subject. In Mr.. Muir
ray 5 opinion the negro question is now
OF more importance than at any pre-.
vloUS time, and be gives bis views of
the present. t..condition Of the citizens of
African deS cent who inhabit the re.
constructed States. He says that SO
long as the negroes remain here they
viii be burden to the country In a
national point of view, and that the
burden Will grow heavier every year
as the old ones de ont and the Young
ones come to ill their places, since
those who have grown up since eman-
clpatlon are much more worthless
than those who learned as work as
slaves. Mr.. Murray argues that the
negroes are totally deficient in energy.
foresight, economy and mental capac-
ity, that without direction or super
vision they would perish in few Years,
so that 1t would be folly TO COLOMBO
them by themselves on territory with.
IN the United States, since they would
inevitably starye TO death under such
an arrangement, while their presence
Is curse III any white community,
because their habits of larceny are
snch and their Incidence is so exces-
siYe that 1t is impossible for either the
blacks or whites to prosper where the
former form large proportion of the
population. The best workers among
the Old negroes will not DO more than
sixty per cent. OF the work they did
as slaves while the young men will
not do more than forty per cent. of
what they ought to do. 1t is impossi-
bic for either whites or blacks TO raise
vegetables, chickens or hogs where
there Is large negro population, he
says, because they will be stolen be-
fore they come to maturity, and as the
consequence Of all these evils, Murray
declares that in all sections where the
African race equals or nearly equals
the whites in number, the people Of
both races must inevitably get poorer
and poorer every year, until they sink
down into abject poverty. To remedy
this state OF things, Mr.. Murray pro-
poses that all negroes should be ship
ped off to Africa, country which
: God made TO suit the negro where
the spontaneous production of the
earth supplies him with food, and
where the climate is so warm the year
round that the transported freedmen
will have no need to buy clothes. Mr..
Murray said he cordially voted for
General Grant in 1868, and again in
1872, that no good reason can be
why the President should not
be supported if he runs again, and an
noUnces his solemn determination TO
vote for him for third term if he
viii only adopt this transporting the
negro population to Africa as the
eat issue Of the canvass.

The greatest excitment has been

many have desisted from their labors
in order to make preparations for the
Judgment Day, unexpectedly soon at
hand. The more sensible portion of
the community feel aggrieved at his
teaching and scme have threatened
him with bodily harm unless he leaves

these threats have been made the

GOLDEN WORDS FROM THE GREAT

Bridgeport, Conn, on the 18th instant,
and delivered short address. Con-
cluding, he said
ut is painful to the industrious and
moral portions of our people to see so
many loungers about the streets, and
such a multitude whose highest aspir-
ations seem to he to waste their time
in idlencss or at base ball, billiards,
&c. No person needs to be unemploy-
ed who is not over-fastidious about the
kind of occupation. There are too
many soft hands land heads) waiting
for light work and heavy pay. Better
work for half loaf than beg or steal n
whole one. Mother Garth is always
near by and ready to respond to rea.
sonable drafts on her nevcr.failing
treasury. A patch of potatoes raised
on shares is preferable to poulticed
pate earned in whisky scrimmage.
Some modern Micawhcrs stand with
folded hands waiting for the panic to
pass, as the foolish man waited for the
river to run dry and allow him TO walk
over. The soil is the foundation of
American prosterity. When multtudes
of our consumers become producers
