IMPROVING SUFFRAGE.

NO TROUBLE TO BE ANT1C1 PATED IN LOUIS
lana IN FUTURE FROM THE NEGRO VOTE.
IN. Y. Trbune.l
Strange TO say, the evils that have
sprung from negro suffrage do not seem
to dispose the now governing class to
take measures to limit it's power Of fu-
ture mischief by restrictive legislation.
In many Southern States poll tax has
been resorted to. and has proved effect
i've: in some there Is renewed talk Of an
educational qualification. Here, there
seems to be no intention to resort to
either measure, or to any other tending
to diminish the volume Of the black
vote. The plan Of Gov. Nichols
and his associates is not to de-
crease the quantity Of this vote
but to improve It's quality. They pro-
pose to educate the negro. and thus
ballot. They say that the people of the
State are willing to maintain a good
school system by a property tax, pu bile
sentiment In this respect having under
gone an entire change within the past
two or three years. They anticipate
very little trouble in the future from the
heavy negro vote, believing now that 1t
is cut loose in great part from the con-
troll Of the carpet baggers, 1t will readi-
" follow the guidance Of the best class
Of the native white population. The
large planters in the country and the
men Of property and character in the
towns will be accepted by the blacks as
leaders, they think, rather than the un-
cultured and irresponsible class.

LEWIS' PREPARA7ION
of Fine Cast Steel to the Sulphuretted Dust

Those having used and tested the. value
Of this compound, are respectfully informed
that II can be had at the Drug Store of ]. L.
LYON and many other druggists of this city.
TO the nnintiated and th skep1bGa s T Saxa say SAY
Waited from the whole conclave of inventors of
the surest and best anti.bilious medicines In etc
dents. The usual and only other mode in pro-
ducing sulphuretted Iron Is by the hydrogen
pounds for the commerce of the world, and is
not to be depended on, as it contains too great q
proportion Of carbon tcharcoall, which cannot
be avoided in the process of their manufac-
turing it.
This Sulphuret of Refined Steel is the pure
sulphuret of Steel having not particle of for
eign matter in lis combination. 1t is made by
hand.
Those eminent professors of chemistry and
physicians of France. together with the United
States Dispensatory, state that the great object
in administering iron is to get the greatest
quantity into the gastric juice of the stomach, as
1t is intendad to renoyate and purify the blood,
and its known value as tonic.

NEGRO LABOR IN GEORGIA,
PICKING BLACKBERRIEs AND STEALTH
CHICKENS.
TCourier-J Journal. /

tCourier-Journal.l
While upon this subject Of the COM
potency and value of negro labor in
Georgia, let me tell you something you
probably have never dreamed Of In your
political economy. have on this table,
as / write, circular issued by our State
Agricultural Department to about 800 of
our representative agriculturists. About
thirty pregnant interrogatories are put
to these experts, all bearing upon the
condition, prospects and resources Of
farming interests. Among these ques-
lions is this one: what number of
negroes have you on your premises. and
what number OF these are workers, and
what number are non workers ?"
Hold your breath for the response.
Why, out Of some $4,000 negroes re-
turned by these 800 respondents 1t ap-
pears that full 5000 Of them do nothing.
But this is surely not truthful, and /
know 1t for one. These 5000 do do some
thing. They pick all the blackberries.
they strip the railroad ties about our
cities of every particle OF their bark, they
excite the admiration of every "prestidi-
gator" In the civilized world by the dex-
terity with which they can jerk a
chicken from its roost or whip sucking
pig into poke" We would compound
as to these 5000 If they would do nothing,
and would be very thankful to see them
by some sort of soul transformation
turned into perfect negatives. Chen
what wonder tina. the State is poor.

All precisely 7 80 o'clock last evening
Prof. Z. Valleau Cartier stepped out
upon the floor of the Dancing Academy
at Union square, and began to waltz.
He had announced that he would try to
waltz steadily five hours. The first lady
who danced with him was Miss Sarah
Iieoboldti, who was out Of breath In
eight minutes. A young man took her
place, but ut the end OF seven minutes
she renewed the floor with the profess
sor, and waltzed for thirty minutes.
Mrs. z. V. Cartier, the Professors
wife, Miss Dora Waterman, Mr.. Thomas
Henry, Mr.. William FL. Morris, and
other ladies and gentlemen were danced
out Of breath and still the intrepid
Professor kept on. The Professor
changed partners without stopping his
regular steps. Occasionally he was
handed a small glass Of wine. which he
drank while stepping Ia time with the
music. The music chosen as the easiest
to dance to was that OF piano. Bets
were made against the dancer.
At II 80 o'clock the ladies clapped
their hands and waved their handker-
chietsItoI cheerlthe waltzer. Mr.. Lafay
cite Harrison. man OF some note as
a dancer, took the floor with Prof. Car
tier. and waltzed with him for forty five
minutes. At II o'clock the Professor
showed some signs of faltering, and
slices of lemon were put into his mouth.
Ten minutes after swallowing the slices
of lemon the Professor revived.
Mrs. Cartier, the Professors wife, took
the floor with him to complete the last
half hour. The Professor became a
little dizzy, and peppermint lozenges
were given him. In the last five min
utes the Professor varied his Waiting
by putting In fancy steps, and his wife
occasionally whispered mods of en-
eouragement.
grand huzza from the spectators rang
through the hall.
