nets enough to garrison every consid-
cradle town. What Go you think of
the prospect? How will the South
stand on the question of increasing the
regular army to the proportions re-
quired to quiet the apprehensiops of
the panic stricken millionaires of the
North
Well, this and kindred questions
will absorb the attention of the Yam
kee demagogue for some time to come.
In the meantime you plant your sugar
cane and hoe your cotton in peace.
Whatever the North may be able to do
with its labor system, you at least
know that you can control yours, pro-
vided the Federal government will
keep its fingers out of the pie. The
difference is that while you ask the
Federal government to keep its hands
off and let you regulate your own la.
Dor system; the North is frantically
beseecling the same power to inter-
vene and save it from the fury of its
laboring classes. That is to say, in
the South the property holding ele-
msnt is also the fighting element, but
in the North the property ir owned
by non. com batants, and the fight
ing classes are the laborers. 1t
will not be long before those dis
tinctions are made still more patent
to the casual observer than they are
now. Pretty soon they will be made
so plain that the wayfaring man,
though fool, may read and under
stand them.
In conclusion, let me say a word.
Perhaps some who read what l write
on this subject will imagine that my
sympathies are with tile mob, and that
my facts are colored thereby. Not so.
have no sympathies. am an OBJ
server of facts and doubt if a more
utterly disinterested, nay, apathetic,
observer can be found anywhere. l
am satisfied, for my part, with the
semi-aristocratic, semi-anarchical form
of government, whose blessings
all now enjoy, and would not
| sacrifice ten cents to save it
from being converted into a commune
IN one direction or into monarchy IN
the other, as the case might be. l see
the facts because / cant help seeing
them, and | have stated them bluntIy
because l do not see what ia to be
gained by concealing them. But as
Tor sympathy, am absolutely devoid
of it, and shall submit to whatsoever
one of these warning interests may get
the control of affairs. If the labor mob
wins in the long run | shall submit to
the Commune.
If capital can hire mercenary SOL
diery enough to crush the mob, as it
would be crushed in England or in
France, l shall submit to the strong
central government which will inevi-
tubly follow. There is only one thing
that will not do: l won't fight for Ell
ther of them. l fought in the late war
to save the Union. And when l saw
whar sort Of Il thing it was that l had
helped to save, | concluded l wouldn't
fight any more. l saw patriotism
turned into Grantism, and that was
enough for me. 1t would have been
enough for a respectable dog

THE seizure of railway trains

The seizure of railway trains by
strikers, as if the engines and cars re-
ally belonged to them, astonishes ma
ny of us, but it is not astonishing.
Association creates strong sense of
ownership. The locomotive engineer
soon comes to feel that the beautiful
aud wonderful machine which he gov
ems is MS. How can capital possibly
have any affection tor what is to it a
mere mechanical contrivance for NOV
ing freight? T he engineer would
scarcely be human if he did not come
to entertain this feeling of ownership.
1t is not unfreqneutly the case that a
reporter on a big newspaper, pariicu
larly if he is ambitious and capable,
comes to feel that the entire concern
rests on lis small shoulders, and the
proprietors themselves hardly suffer in
their minds so much as this young man
when things go amiss. He has in his
active brain theory which would
make the fortune of the paper, if the
proprietors could be brought to take it
up, and when, in the vicissitudes of
journalism, he is called to some other
sphere of usefulness, he listens for the
crash which, his withdrawal must inev-
itably praduce. He has sfpse of
partnership which only years e stern
reality can dispel. 1t is lor before
the nnwritten law which ma y him a
proprietor can be sufficiently .ctured
to let in the light which : Is him
to himself as single emplsye.
Il Exchange.
TUE South at this moment must
experience peculiar feelings. After
having Incurred the stigma of the
champion rebel Of American history,
and been watched and distrusted for
years us the great scat O. discomfort in
this country, the unfaitital member,
; whose probable rally to the lost cause
was Sure 10 come or to be imputed at

humor were a Southern quality, tho
impulse of Governor Wade Hampton
and Governor NichoIls to offer the SER
vices of the troops of South Carolina
and Louisiana to the President to put
down these incendiary Pennsylvanians
would have been irresistible. Cover

NO SUCH THING AS LUCK.

Some people are fond of denying
that there is any such thing as
"luck," but be that as ii may, there
certainly are persons to whom what
seems like forsuitous good fortune
comes Col. Green Wilkinson gave
a seat in his pew in London to an old
gentleman, who left him $4,000 a
year. A young Bostonian crossed
to England three or four years ago,
and got into conversation with an el>
derby gentleman, who observed that
he found they had the same name.
It turned out that they were second
cousins. The elder had gone to Cal
ifornia in the early days, made q
vast fortune, and entirely lost sight
Of his relatives. Thatahance meets
Ling gave the young Bostonian q for
| tame of between two and three mil
lions. Two ladies had a box at the
opera 10 London. An old man OPP
posite bored them drsadfully By per-
petually sslorgnettingp thena The
scene came to an end 4 A they
thought no more abost him. One
day, year afterward, a solicitor
called on one Of the ladies, Lady
Frances Bruce, and informed her
that an old gentleman, Mr.. W., had
left her property worth several
thousand year. "Never heard Of
| the man, she said, must be a mis-
take" Every extraordinary, res
plicd the solicitor. Suddenly . hap
py thought struck him. "Ide lies in
bis coffin ia ST. James street, close
Eby at Banting's the great undertak.
er's; will you come and see him 7"
She went. It was the old lorgnettcr.
| And it is said that he left it to her
friend, whom, and not Lady Frances
be admired, but was misinformed as
to the names Of ladies. And to give
one more, quite recent Instance. =
A young New Yorker went TO San
Francisco to seek the fortune which
50 many have failed to End, He got
poor clerkship and had to be
thankful for that. One eveniDg at .
place Of entertainment he watched a
game Of cards, saw that an elderly
Englishman was being cheated, ex>
posed the fraud and had tussle with
the cheat The Englishman has pre-
scented him with 100000 TO start
himsia business, and there is every
prospect that more are to come.

a pATHRNAL nscApAp

A laughable incident occurred at
Perry, Ga, recently, which caused
much sport, and the circumstances
are as follows An old gentleman
who had two handsame daughters
was SO cautious Of his charge that be
would not permit them to keep the
company Of young men. However
they adopted the following expedient
to enjoy the company Of their lov>
ers; After the old man had retired
to rest the girls would hang sheet
out ofthe second story window and
Jim and Charley would seize hold Of
it, and with the assistance Of the
girls would thus gain entrance. 1t
50 happened last Sunday evening the
girls hung out tho sheet ladder too
early, fe. the old man, by some i'll
wind, was accidentally out Of doors,
and happened to come around the
corner Of she house, and spying tho
sheet dangling from the window
could not conjecture tho meaning Of
its being there. So be caught hold
and ondeavored TO bring II down.
The girls above, surprising it to be-
the boys, began to hoist and did not
discover the miatake until the old
mans head was level with the wins
dow sill, chen one Of them oxclaim~
ed, "I.ord, it's dadlp and let go her
hold, which frightened her sister and
she let go the sheet, and down came
the old man on the stone walk,
breaking his wrist and tearing his
clothes. His cries brought out the
household and several neighbors,
and they removed him into the
house. He Is now !busy cogitating
whether to LEI the girls have their
beaux in the parlor ..or TO sue the
young men for damages. The boys
have not been around to offer any
sympathy. and probably wont until
the old gentleman feels easier.

X lluLEs ron Hons EDUCATION. =
I'rhe following rules are worthy Of
being printed in letters Of gold, and
being placed in conspicuous place
10 every household:
From your children's earliest in~
fancy inculcate the necessity Of in
slant obedience.
Unite frmness with gentleuess.
Let your children always understand
that you mean what you say.
Never promise them unless you
are quite sure you can give them
what you say,
IF you tell child to do something,
show him how to do it, and see that
it is done.
Always punish your children for
willfully disobeying you, but never
punish them in anger.
Never let them see that they vex
you or make you lose your command.
If they give way to petulance or
ill>temper, wait till they are calm,
and then gently reason with them on
the improperly of their conduct.
Remember little present punish
ment when the occasion arises is
more effectual than the threatening
of greater punishment should the
fault be renewed.
Never give your children any
thing because they cry for it.
On no account allow them to do al
any one time what you have, under
the same circumstances, at another
time forbidden.
Teach them that the only way to
appear good is to be good.
| Accustom them to make their lit
tie recitals with perfect truth.
Never allow Of ale-bearing.
Teach them self-denial, not self
indulgence, Of an angry and resent>
full spirit.
