JEALOUSY OF THE SOUTH.
Memphis Appeal.

[Memphis 4Ppeal.]
The fertile imagination of the
poet has depicted in verse how 9th
er flowers died from Jealousy of the
rose. The sectional fanatics of the
north entertain the same sort Of
jealousy of the statesmen of the
South. They tell the country in
lugubrious tones that such men as
Lamar, Hill, Gordon, Harris.
Cockrell and Beck, have more
power in directing and controlling
the destiny of the nation they at
tempted to destroy than The men
who saved it. This is regarded a.
an. untavorable omen. Since the
formation of our government the
south has exercised more than her
proportionate share in councils of
the nation. This cannot be attrih-
uted to arrogance or desire to
rule on the part of southern people,
bat TO the fact that our politicians
have developed craftsmanship
which was readily recognized by
all sections and indorsed. Harris,
Gordon. Hill aad Lamar will no
doubt exercise more influence than
any other four men in congress,
but fortunately this Influence will
be directed for the promotion of
peace and the great inter ests OF the
country. Brain, like water, will
find its level. Genius will tel .
The attempt to smother the historic
craftsmanship and greatness OF
southern men will be miserable
failure. The chronic haters OF The
south would have law passed
by congress requiring talent ge-
MUS aud craftsmanship spread out
over the country as butter expand"
cd on a slice of bread, bn. such a

law could not extract sunbeams
fro;n cucnmbers or blot out the
craftsmanship which, like cotton,
seems to be peculiar to
to southern soil. The south has
always presented galaxy Of bril-
liant men in congress. and Judging
from the jealousy Of the men we
have named, she is still represent
ed by the same type of manhood.
Climate has as much to do with
animal life as vegetation. Take
the short-horned Durham. from
Canada to Texas and the breed
soon dcgenerates, and the climate
drives the short-horns out into
long. sharp spires. If the south is
so prolific of great men, we pre-
sumo it must be attributed to the
climate. This the fanatics cannot
prevent, as it will be impossible for
Yankee ingenuity to get up a con-
stitutional amendment changing
the southern climate. The south
still holds her own in the councils
of the nation, Judging from the
jealousy manifested toward ou'
representative men in Congress. In
the combat between intellectual
giants in the United States senate.
the south, in the future as in the
past, will carry away the laurels.
We beg The jealous fanatics Of the
north TO dismiss their alarm. They
will find that the statesmen they so
much fear will use their conceded
and dreaded power wisely. The
south ought not to be censnrcd for
the prominence she has always ex-
ercised, and promises to continue,
for it is due to the intellect of her
men, and 1t is her right. If the
south is to rule. it will be by the
divine right of intellect and patri
otism. and there should be no :jeal-
ousv Of our representative men.

We beg to invite the special attention
of Dealers and Consumers to these
PAINTS. They are manufactured from
the very BEST AND CHOICEST PIG
MENTS. and mixed orthinned with only
~THICTLY PURE Linseed Oil and Tur-
pcntine, and they cannot be excelled in
covering capacity, durability, tineness and
beauty of finish. They will neither
chalk, flake, or peel off, and work with
perfect freedom under the brush. The,
weigh from Is to 10 lbs per gallon, which,
of itself, POSITIVELY demonstrates their
purity and superiority.
Tho various compounds known in IT,"
market as Chemical Paints, contain only
abour SO per cent. of Paint; the balal &c
is water, introduced into the same by the
use OF all alkai, to combine it. The
last mentioned Paints, sO-called, only
weigh from 8 TO 10 lbs per gallon, which
we think certainly proves their lack of
capacity or body. When water is mix
ed with Paint, it not only destroys its
body, but, to a very great extent, its adj
heslveness, which all practical men know
IS OF the highest Importance to preserve,
in order to make durable Paint.
We think, from the statement we have
made, that Luyers cannot fail to at ONCE
perceive that their interest will be best
promoted by buying our Liquid Paints
Gle. Pure Paints), in preference to the
sO-called Paints referred to.

When such persons become
pupils, the Institution will
clothe them All others are
required to bring a full supply
of neat, comfortable clothing.
This institution is not an asy-
lum for the helpless; not a
home for the destitute. 1t is
a school to train the blind to
self support, a department of
the system of public institu-
ton specialized to meet the ed>
ucational needs of a class.
Pupils are received solely. for
this purpose, and only for a
limited term. Every assur-
ance which earnst kindness
can offer. or reasonable solicit
tude demand, is given that in
mates will be carefully and
kindly treated.
You are respectfully and
urgently requested. to seek
out the blind Of your neigh
borhood, to send their address
es 10 this Institution and to
communicate the substance of
this circular to them and to
their friends. Many OF the
relatives of the blind, and
some of the blind themselves,
doubt their capability of use
full training. Persistence in
this error will assure the in
competency which the doubt
implies. Do not add use
lessness TO the woes of blind
ness. Let the blind boy be-
come as full a man as his linz
itation will permit. In this
work every one can be a mis-
sionary. Find out all young
blind persons and urge them to
enter this Institution. DO this,
and thereby help them to
tie fullest redemption, which
christian civilization can offer.
Louisa a ought not to be the
last a2d least in philanthropic
work. All properly qualified
tllnd persons are cordially in
vjted to enter. and their
friends earnestly solicited to
place then in this Institution.
The personal character and
high social position of the
Trustees amply guaranty the
faithful tulfllment Of the trust
they have accepted. All
communications will be addressed
to the Principal. Any dcsirous to
enter before September, will be re-
ceived.

LOUISIANA INSTITUTE ON FOR THE
INSTRUCTION OF THE BLIND.

To tho Secretaries Of Parish School Boards.
and all other Parochial Officers; to
all Pastors Of churches, and all 9TH
ers interested in good work:
The Louisiana Institution
for the education Of the blind,
in common with the other in>
situations Of the state. is now
relieved from the incubus of
INSTRUMENTATION. 1t is now
reorganizing and will be ready
for full work on the LIST Of
September next.
The purpose of this Institu>
ton is to train to self support,
Ill the blind in the state who
are capable Of such training
and are willing to receive it.
This purpose is not the prod
net Of a groundless theory,
nor is it sentimental moon
shine. 1t is the outgrowth Of
q clear recognition of human
possibilities, and sustained by
a valid experience. In every
country, elevated by christian
civilization, schools for train
ing the blind are established.
In many countries in Europe,
and in every American state,
trained blind persons are
achieving subsistence by use
full work. Blindness is a great
evil; but it's hurt ful effects are
intensified by ignorance and
inertness. The blind ought to
desire and to seek all possible
mitigations, and their friends
ought to help them to find re-
liet. To be an enforced
drone is not a diviDely ap-
pointed destiny. To be a vol
untary drone IS crime
against ones self, and against
society. To assume that the
victim of blindness can do
nothing, is to contradict fact,
and blaspheme humanity: tits
wrong in the blind to believe,
that they are wholly incapable
of usefulness; and that the see
ing should persuade them to
such belief, or permit them to
rest in it, is monstrous. No
cruelty is so remorseless, as
that which tortures, by de-
probation, and destroys by
dsg IRA lat ati ii5ii:~ The seeing mean:
we'll; yet they often depreciate
the blind man into helpless
ness, and doubt him into ne>
cation. Let the error die;
this wrong perish. Let US
about face and follow the
teachings Of christian morality
and of common sense. Let 1t
be believed that in the blind
there is latent force waiting
to be translated into produce
tive energy. Let it be accept
ed that There is a spirit in
man and the inspiration Of the
Almighty, giveth him under
standing"
This institution will furnish
its pupils thorough common
school instruction; and when
ever is manifested capability
for fuller education, special
provision will be made to
meet the case. Instruction
in music will be given; and all
pupils of sufficient ability will
be trained with direct refer
ence to earning living as
Many blino per-
sons now obtain 1enumer-
alive incomes as organlsts,
as teachers Of music, and
as tuners Of pianos. Pu-
pills will be instructed in sew
eral mechanical occupations.
