which grew very rapidly, and all my friends mad
given me up to die, when / heard of your medl,

Cunccrous UUmors. I commenced to take It,
and soon found myself beginning to feel better ;
my health and spirits both felt the benign IN.

A Change of Tune.

1t is said that Mr.. Wendell Philips in his
late pronunciamento has come out strong
secessionist; he wants the State of Maine,
perhaps the whole of New England, to
secede from the Union and join Canada.
OF course, this is only prospectively, that
is, if his prophetic ken should not deceive
him. He sees an impending political alli
ance offensive and defensive between the
West and South, which will forever take
away from the barren hills of New England
every vestige of control and almost every
shred of in floence in national affairs. Now
Wendell is an ardent lover of the Union
just 80 far as the Union is subservient to
New England interests. Beyond that it
may so to-well, to any uncanpy extremity
whatever, 30 far as Wendell and Wendell's
school of untamed patriots care.
The singular thing, however, is that 30
wise man as Mr.. Philips should fail to
appreciate q principle so elementary as
that "a rule ought to work both waye." If
New England State when disgusted may
secede at will, why could not Southern
State have done the same thing3 But far
be it from US to attempt bulldozing Mr..
Phillips on this point. Not for the world
would we run the risk of checking his
longings for Canadian company, and we
say unreservedly right here that we do
most unequivOcally believe in the absolute,
unqualified right of every and any State to
secede from this glorious Union whenever
it chooses 80 to do, and without any as-
signable reason whatever. We do not
understand that war can settle questions
of logic, nor can principle be destroyed
though all its adherents should abandon

Educators Convention.

Mr.. Lusher has kindly favored us with
the programme of proceedings proposed to
be had at q convention of Southern educa-
tors to be held at Chattanooga on the Stb,
9TH and 9Th of next month. Contributions
in the way of addresses and essays by
gentlemen and ladies highly distinguished
in the field of education have been provi-
ded for in advance, and the indications are
quite favorable to success so far as assem-
bling the Convention goes.
A number of topics for discussion are
named, such as The Educational Situa-
ton" "School Supervision" elementary
Schools" "Industrial Education" "Text
Books" "MethOds of Instruction" i" "Intel-
lectual Development" ETC., but there is no

1t. Truth must live forever. Like Mil
tons Angels, all the wounds of war cannot
kill it, and, even though apparently
stricken unto death, the awbrosial elixir of
Immortality shall soon fill it's veins again
with the fire of life and imperishabe youth.
No Let no man make Wendell afraid.
Let him go in peace and take Maine along
with him. With the exception of Connec-
ticut, we feel equally generous regarding
the other ffsboots from Plymouth Rock.
Let 'em all go, and if necessary, pay their
passage for them For our part, as grievous
ly as We deplore the evil of q heavy public
debt, we should favor aliberal policy in this
respect. Always Excepting Connecticut,
we should be in favor Of marrying off the
New England States to Canada with the
aid of handsome dowries. Canada would,
of course, make a wry face at the proposi-
ton, for the Puritan New Englanders are
considered very cantank nkerous race, but a
hundred millions of dollars with each State
would probably get them through. And
surely the United States would be cheaply
rid at that rate of the leading epirits wi 0
make that region a permanent incubus on
the rest of the country.
In saying this we would not for mo-
ment like to be suspected of considering the
people of one section of this country bet
ter or worse in a general sense than those of
any other section. We have hearty feeling
of friendliness for the good Democrats of
New England and should be sorry to part
with them; We greatly admire the energy
and intelligence ofeveu the bigoted P uritaus
of that community, but it is the sectional
ism of such men as Philips and Blaine
impressing itself upon the whole policy of
the States which they control, and making
those States curse to the country at large,
of which it would be well to get rid
even at heavy expense.

Ursuline Academy in that city. Right Rev.
John Quinlan, Bishop of Mobile, and several
priests of the Diocese honored the occasion
with their presence, the Bishop briefly address
ing the large audience Immediately after the
prizes had been distributed and the various
musical and other performance had been con-

From California comes news interesting to
Thousands. Vast tracts of fertile land in that
State are held by capitalists who do not care
to cultivate it themselves, and have been nm
willing to sell to those who would. This con-
dition of affairs has caused much discomfort
and bitterness, and to remedy it was one of
the avowed OF sets of the Ksarney party.
Although that party has not carried the State,
its partial success appears to have prompted
one great landed proprietor to offer his estate
for sale. The Hon. j. McShafter is having his
land surveyed preparatory to selling it in lots
for farms. The San Francisco Call thinks
" there is but little doubt that most of the
large tracts of land controlled by private indi-
Viduals in California will soon be brought into
market"
The San Francisco Chronicle says:
az. NOM. Shafter, one of the greatest land
Absorbers in California, has signifed his iuten-
tion to dispose of his immense tracts in Marion
county in small sections. The benefits result
ing from Such course cannot be oyerestimated,
and II other landowners would follow Shafter's
example, the general welfare of California
would materially improve. He evidently reads
the siRns of the times Alright, and thinks that
it is not unlikely that constitution will be
framed which will impose the burden of taxa
ticn equally upon the rich landowners. In
suoh an event millions of cores of land at pres
emit held In large tracts would be forced into
the market and cause y shrinkRge. Mr.. Shat
ter wants to get into the market ahead of the
other heavy landowners"
1t would be of great benefit to Louisiana in
encouraging email farmers to come here and
settle, IL the Citizens Bank and other large
holders of land throughout the State, were to
divide mp their properties into medium sized
farms aud offer them for sale at moderate
prices.
