the accuracy of Mr.. Morgan's estimate
of the number of his colored supporters,
though it must be regarded as healthy
sign that Southern Democrats should
recognized distinct responsibility to
the negro. and should manifest some
alacrity to adopt legitimate means to
strengthen their hold upon his support.
Once the color line in Southern politics
is broken through, the problems Of
Southern government will settle them
selve, for the colored vote will be recog-
nized on both sides as power to be won
over by the same methods as any other
vote, and to be strictly protected in the
exercise of its rights.-N. 7. Times.

DEATH OF REV. DIR. W. II. LORD.

We learn with sorrow. by dispatches
from Montpelier, of the death Of Rev.
DR.. w. II. Lord. of that place, which
took place yesterday Sunday morning
March 18th, at 7 a. m. in the oath
year of his age. DIR. Lord was the son
Of the late President Lord, so long Pres
ident of Dartmouth College. On grad
uating from the Theological Seminary,
young man of "a years, be was settled
,ver the CongreGntis-~i CHURCH OF Mont
,.-'asr, succeeding Rev. John Gridley in
the pastOrate; and though repeatedly
and urgently invited to other fields of
labor, he remained there until his death.
But three Congregational ministers in
Vermont, Rev. DR.. Drake, Of Royalton,
Rev. o. G.. Wheeler, of Grand Isle, and
Rev. NJ. Stevens, of Westminster, have
been longer in their present pastorates,
and we think but two of these exceeded
his in continuous service. DIR. Lord
was easily, and by common consent, the
ablest, most eloquent, and most promi-
nent of the settled Congregational cler-
gymen Of our State. In many ways
with his pen as well as in his pulpit
and socially he exercised a wide anC
strong influence. His death leaves 9
gap which cannot be easily filed, and
he will be deeply mourned, not only by
his attached tOwnsmen and immediat,
friends. but by wide circle of admirers
and friends in this and other States.
DR.. Lord has been in failing health
for many months. and for a week pas
we have been expecting almost daily t,
hear of his death. His disease wa
py@mia, or blood-poisoning, from SOM
inward liberation. lie leaves widow
and five children, four Of them, thre
daughters and son. being of adult age
and one lad of nine or ten years.

Mr.. Hayes is unmerciful to his politi-
cal opponents. He gives them new
dish Of their own words to cat every
morning for breakfast. First was the
charge that he must be the creature of
Chandler and Cameron. The answer
was the appointment of Mr.. Evarts and
Mr.. Schurz in his cabinet Then he
was accused of military usurpation. He
replied by giving it out unoficially that
the troops would be withdrawn 'front.'
South as soon as satisfactory guarantees
were given that the peace would be kept.
Then a sudden cutlery went up from the
Democratic camp that he was DESERVING
the unprotected negro. Next morning
Frederick Douglass was nominated U.
S. Marshall for the District of Columbia.
Then came a horrible fear that he was
about to inaugurate native American
party-with Carl Schurz in his cabinet
The ink was not dry that gave circula-
ton to this report before it was semi
officially announced that foreign birth
would be no bar to appointment to for
eign missions, as it has usually beer
under previous administrations. The
condition of the N. Y, "Sun" is becom
ing deplorable. 1t went into mourning

The nomination of Fred. Douglass as
Marshall of the District of Columbia
has been confirmed by vote of 80 to
IL. Four Democratic Senators from the
South voted in his favor, and among
them was Senator Morgan. the new
Democratic Senator from Alabama. This
gentleman made somewhat remarkable
speech, whose tone was very encouraging,
whatever may be thought of the assump-
tiOns which ran through it. Mr.. Nor
gan asks the country to believe that as
candidate on the Tilden Electoral ticket
he received 10000 colored votes, and
that when the foremost man of the race
among which be has 50 many supporters
is nominated for petty Marshalship he
felt il his duty to vote for his cOnfrma-
ton. We may be permitted to doubt

We have never seen the rank and file
of the Democracy more satisfied with
defeat, than they appear to be with the
defeat of Tilden. A Democrat who has
voted that ticket for the last sixty-6ve
years, remarked to us that "Hayes is
proving good Democrat. The Presi-
dent may be taking sort of middle
course, which may be nearer right than
that Of either extreme. While he shows
the present determination to do right,
he ought to be esteemed by both parties.

A Swede is preaching in the Swedish
language to twenty-five hundred of his
couutrymen in Mr.. Moody's church at
Chicago, the sermons being literal trans
lations Of Mr.. MoOdy's discourscs in diff.
ferent parts of the country. The preach
err was converted in Sweden, it is said,
by reading Mr.. MOody's sermons, and
resembles Mr.. Moody very closely in
appearance. An edition of Mr.. MoOdy's
sermons has been published at COnstan-
tinople in the Armenian language. and
Spanish edition has also been discov-

THE CABIN EFT.

The President has chosen those for
his advisers whom he thinks will most
benefit the administration and the coun-
try. 1t is Cabinet of his own selec-
ton, and none have been appointed in
it because they deserved pay for any
thing that they had accomplished for
Hayes or for any particular faction or
party. The contrary is easily proven.
Take, for instance, the case of MIR.
Thompson, the new Secretary of the
Navy. He is the only one in the Cab
met who was in the Cincinnati Conven-
ton. He voted all the time for Morton
until he with drew. Mr.. Thompson
then voted for Bristow and carried four
others with him, while ex-Postmaster-
General Tyner, member of the same
state delegation, carried eleven votes
over to Hayes support. Mr.. Tyner re-
tires from the Cabinet. and Mr.. Thomp-
son goes in. Not single member Of
the Cabinet was in favor of Hayes nom.
ination at any stage, except John Sher'
man, who was not delegate to the
convention, being beaten by Ben Wade
who was thought to be better able t.
promote Hayes interest in the conven
ton. Still further, there is no member
of the Republican Committee in thu
Cabinet. or any one selected by any one
on the committee This policy which
ehe fresiue"O n--------;4d- out. in making
his appointments may be highly censurey
by disappointed politicians as "a new
way to pay old debts. "-.SOrs Letter t

Those who live on credit and spend
other peoples money would object to the

by hard knocks. and "owe no man any

In recent lecture delivered in Edia-
burgh, on "The Stars" Prof. Grant gave
a graphic idea of the immensely of space.
He said railway train travelling night
and day at the rate of fifty miles an hour
would reach the moon in six months,
the sun In two hundred years, and Alpha
Centauri, the nearest of the fixed stars,
in forty-two millions of years. A ball
from a gun, travelling at the rate of nine
hundred miles an hour, would reach
Alpha Centauri in 100000 years
while light, travelling as 1t did at the
rate of 1850 miles second, would
not reach it in less than three years..
Light from some of the telescope stars
would take $3.50 years to reach the
earth and from some of these clusters
the distance was so great that light
would take half million of years to
pass to the earth, so that we saw objects
not as they really are, but as they were
half million of years ago. Thes stars
might have become extinct thousands of
years ago., and yet their light might
present itself to US. AS to the magni-
tude of the stars, he noticed that it was
computed that Alpha Lyra was one
hundred billions of miles distant from
the earth, and its magnitude and splen-
dor were as 20 to when compared with
our sun. Similar investigations brought
out the fact that our sun was neither
vastly greater nor vastly less than the
great majority of the stars.
The probabilities of living to be 100
years old are, according to the statistics
of DR.. Farr, 223 to the 100000.
That is to say, computing the present
average number of deaths on the basis
of recent Official tables of mortality in
England, out of every 100000 now
living, 223 will live to be 100 years
old and the last one of the million will
! die on his l0Sth year.

the South Carolina and the Louisiana
dual government question full of per-
plexity. 1t is now said that things will
remain IN statu quo until commission
of eminent men from both parties go to
those States and ascertain, if possible,
what is best to be done. In the mean
time representatives and delegations
from each party are impOrtuniDg the
President to decide in their favor at

They had kept the eggs IN milk Of lime
or hme-water until they had contracted
an unpleasant taste-also in salt brine
until the eggs were too salt for use; and
had packed them in bran and oats, only
to find them spoiled. But those that
had been covered with the white Of egg
they found kept perfectly. Yet as this
was rather an expensive method they
substituted linseed oil, which was rub
bed into the shells until they were thor
oughly saturated, and they were then
spread out upon layer Of sand, and
left exposed to the air for six months,
and when opened were found to be
fresh and wen favored. It can be east
ly done by buying half q pint of lin
seed oil, and making swab with bit
of cotton twisted or tied around a small
stick, and smearing the eggs all over
with it, then letting them dry thorough
ly in the warm air, and then packing
them away in wooden buckets for use.
The oil does not prevent the escape of
moisture entirely, but it excludes the air
sufficiently to prevent decay. In pack
ing the eggs be sure to put the small
end down so IS to keep the yelk in the
center of the egg.

Dosing Turkish Soldiers.

A correspondent in the Turkish camp
at Shumla writes: "I was present to-
day in the Doctors private tent while he
saw his mornings patients, and curl
GUS experience it was. Two non-com-
missi0ned officers stood at the entrance
by the sentries and ushered in man after
man for about two hours. The Doctor,
seated on medicine chest Just inside,
felt pulses and prescribed with the regu-
larity of . clock ticking. Two native
DOCTORS assistants, who squatted be-
hind, handed pill or gave q draught as
directed. Now and then when an un-
mistakable case of fever was discovered
the man was told to go into hospital,
but the majority were dosed there and
then. One man came up with tooth
ache. At . signal given, up jumped
one of the Turkish Doctors, seized q
pair of blacksmith's pincers, and, going
behind the fellow, threw his left arm
round his neck as if he were about to
him. In an instant capital

American Volcanoes.

Since we now have an active volcano
in the United States, the subterranean
disturbances of our neighbors will be-
gin to be of some interest to us. Many
of the Mexican volcanoes have been
silent ever since the discovery of Amer
lea, and Others are on record as having
famed out for the last time shortly after
the Spanish invasion. Among those
that had been longest quiet was the
mountain Ceboruco; but in 1870 it broke
forth after sleep of centuries. It has
been noticed that earthquakes, formerly
frequent in its vicinity, have not taken
place since its last eruption, and there
is . notion that the vent given by the
volcano has served as a relief to pent-
up gases and materials that otherwise
would have caused disturbance. II this
theory holds good, California may be
saved from another earth-shaking BY the
activity of the yet unnamed volcano
in her southeastern corner. The
eruption is said to have taken
place about sixty miles north of
Yuma. That place always had queer
reputation. There is q story of the
ghost of dead soldier being interrogat-
ed by the spirit-rapping process as to
whether his present abode was hot.
!" Yes" was the reply, "it's awful; but
il isn't any hotter than Fort Yuma"

The Island Of Isabel.

The chief village of the Island of
Isabel, in the South Pacific beyond the
equator, is built on the summit of .
rocky mountain rising almost perpen-
dicularly to height Of 800 feet. As
cending by native path from the in
terror, the traveller will find the extreme
summit mass of enormous rocks stand
ing up like castle, among which grow
gigantic trees, in the branches of which
the dwellings are built. The stems of
these trees rise perfectly straight and
smooth, without a branch, to a height
varying from fifty to 100 feet. Some of
the houses are 120 feet above the ground,
the average height being sixty. They
are approached by q ladder of creepers,
and accommodated from ten to fifteen
natives each, besides an ample store of
stones, which are thrown with sings in
case of an attack. At the foot of each
tree is another hut, the every day house,
as it were, when no danger is appre-
The natives are cannibals of
the most ravenous kind.

About Florida.

A correspondent of the New York
Times writes from Sanford, Florida
Thousands of persons are writing to
people in this State for information,
with view to coming here to settle, and
l would like to say, too, few words to
all poor men who contemplate such a
move First, there is a superabundance
of laborers here, colored men, who will
work for $12 per month and rations, l..
e., q peck of meal and three and q half
pounds of old bacon per week; and a
poor white man has very little chance to
rise. OF course, he can live on mean
food, aud very little clothing, if he cares
nothing for the education of his chill
dren, or his own social relations. Men
of means are coming here, and doing
well, as labor is cheap, and the profits
Of orange-growing are very great, and
these men gobble up poor mems i'm
provements at sacrifice. There are
hundreds of idle men who came to look
for some eight and profitable employ
ment," and I might add that this class
of persons are at q great discount, more
helpless than the common farm laborer.
Invalids who come here and stay almost
invariably get relief, an large percent
age of them recover entirely, when they
60 into the interior of South Florida and
engage in some quiet pursuit, if they
have the means to support them. The
ordinary farming, or planting, of this
country is not profitable, and those who
follow it for living lead life Of what
q Northern man would call extreme
poverty. There is q great deal of ex-
trayagance INDUCED i1 by writer's who
are interested in some land scheme, and
who believe that if they can get white
men down here they can dispense with
negroes, but I would advise all poor
men who have to work for their living
to keep away from the South. They
can not compete with negro labor.
What the South wants is capital, and in
the Peninsula of Florida time will be
needed as well as capital, as crops are
not obtained in q season, but require
years to get returns, and no man should
an orange grove unless he
has safe income for five years."
