THE PRESIDENTS SOUTHERN
POLICY.

There is some controversy in the
papers as to whether the President
proposes to abandon his so-called
Southern Policy" and whether
he considers that "policy" a fail
ure. This will not be easily set
tied. The.President and his critics
have not agreed upon what his
policy meant. They construed
it one way and he another. But
on one point, and the only import
ant one, there seems to be no
doubt. lie intends to see the laws
executed. He intends to exhaust
his legal power in the protection of
all the people in the enjoyment of
equal rights and privileges at the
ballOt-box. If elections in some
Of the Southern States are
a farce, he intends that it
shall be the fault of the
law and not his. If bulldozers,
White Leaguers and Red Shirt brig
AIDES can be punished under existing
laws, he intends that it shall be
done. The matter is in the hands
of the Bureau of Justice. Instruc-
tons have been sent out to District
Attorneys and United States Mar
shals, and we are assured that no
piou5 winnings on the part of those
who have violated the laws Of their
country will prevent their punish
ment. The responsibility will rest
with Southern communities, and if
judges and juries fail to do their
duty, the people of the North will
be heard at the ballot box in 1880,
speaking in thunder tones to those
who have no respect for the rights
of those with whom they differ.
The President will have the support
of a large majority of the people of
this country. He means to do right
and he will be sustained.

How Two Thousand americans Make
the Best of the French Capital.
Paris Cor. Baltimore Americau.l


What is called the American colony
in Paris consists Of about 200 families,
large proportion of them from the south.
A great proportion of them might lie re-
gaTded almost as permanent residents. A
gOodly number of them are people of
limited means, who find that they can
live so much cheaper here than IN an
American city that they have concluded
to stav One of these remarked to me

New York he would BE- regarded
as nobody unless he owned or
rented a brOwn-stone house at from
S4, 900 to $4,000 per anDum. Here he
could obtain q suite of elegant apart
ments, in fashionable neighbOfhoOd, at
from $500 70 81 600 per annum, and
make as good an appearance ss any one
else in his sphere. In New York he
would have to pay so a week for q

! landau with fiue pair OF horses, and a
/ liveTied iOOtman thrown in, to be always

The Jews in Agriculture.

At the recent convention of the Amer
lean Hebrey union held in Milwaukee
two projects were considered for the fOr>
nation of agricultural colonies. One
c0ntemplates the purchase of lands and
the settlement on them of the children
brought MP in Jewish orphan asvlums.
At present their children ordinarily ! ass
into stores or become peddlers of goods.
In the great majority of cases they re-
main in cities and during the earlier
years of their lives, at least, they are
dependent on others for employment
The proposal to give these orphan chill
dren a start in agriculture, by means Of
which they will have an Independent
and honorable occupation, is an excel
lent one. All the Jewish charitable in
stitutions are admirably conducted, and
the plan of providing for orphans after
they are of an age to support themselves
Is worthy OF COmmendatiOn. By
placing them on contiguous farms they
can receive instruction in agriculture,
stOCk-raising, and fruit raising at 8 COM
paratively small cost.
There was also a proposition before
the convention to purchase in the western
and southwestern states large bodies
of cheap lands with a view of offering a
| a living tothe oppressed Jews in Euro
pesn countries. 1t Is we'll known that
the Jews in5Poland. -and in RDumania
and other principalities along the Danube
suffer the same prosecutions inflicted on
! heT8ce in the wester ncOuntries of Europe
| centuries ago. In R0umania they are
not allowed to own a foot or land. while
! they are excluded from many honorable
/ occupations. The social position of the
! Jews in Poland Is hardly above
! that occupied by the Russian
serfs before they were emanci,
pated There Is little prospect OF
! anv abatement of intolerance toward the
/ Jews where Russian influence prevails
/ Their condition in western Europe !,
/ better, but even there it Is difficult fol
/ them to obtain land. Few mare worthy
charities were ever proposed than thai
of providing them the means of securins

The Use CT AN Enemy.

Always keep an enemy in hand-a
brisk, hearty, active enemy.
Remark the uses of an enemy:
l. The having one is proof that you
are somebody. Wishy-washy, empty,
worthless people never have enemies.
Men wEO never move never Iun against
anything; and when a man is thoroughly
dead and utterly buried, nothing ever
runs against him. To be run against Is
proof OF existence and position; 10 run
against something is proof of motion.
2. An enemy is, to say the least, not
partial to you. He will not fatter. He
will not exaggeTate your virtues. 1t is
very probable that he will slightly mag
Nifty your faults. The benefit of that is
twOfOld-it permits you to know that
you have faults, and are, therefore, not
monster, and it makes them of such size
as to be visible aud manageable. OF
course, if you have a fault you desire to
know it; when you become aware that
YOU have fault you desire to correct 1t.
Your enemy does for you this valuable
work which your friend cannot per :orm.
3. In addition, your enemy keeps
you wide awake. He does not let you
sleep at your post. There are two that
always keep watch, namely, the lover
and the hater. Your lover watches
chat you may sleep. He keeps off
noises, excludes light, adjusts sur
rOuHdings, that nothing may disturb
you. Your hater watches that you may
not sleep. He s,irs you up when you
are mapping. He keeps your faculties
on the alert. Even when he does moth
ing he will have put you in such state
of mind that you cannot tell what he
az nj
must be worth something.
4. He Is q detective among your
friends. You need to know who your
friends are, and who are not, and who
are your enemies The last of these
three will discriminate the other two.
When your enemy goes to one who Is
neither friend ner enemy, and assails
you, the Indifferent one will have moth
ing TO say or chime in, not because he is
your enemy, but because it is so much
easier to assert than to oppose, and
especially than to refute. But your
frieTds will take up cudgels for you on
the instant. He will deny everything
and insist on proof, and proving is very
hard work. There is scarcely a truth
full man in the world that could afford to
undertake to prove One-tenth OF all his
truthful assertions. Your friend will
call your enemy to the proof, and If the
Indifferent person, through carelessuess,
repeats the assertions of your enemy, he
is soon made to feel the inconvenience
thereof by the zeal your friend manifrsts.
Follow your enemy around and YOU will
find your friends, for he will have de-
velOped them so that they cannot be
mistaken.
The next best thing to having hun
dred real friends is to have one open
enemy. But let us pray to be delivered
from secret IOes Rev. DR.. Deems.

fruit-growers in southern Europe. In
Spain and Portugal, especially,
they were remarkably successful
IL tilling the soil and raising
stock. They were virtually driven from
these pursuits by sctsof the government.
They were compelled to observe not only
the Christian Sabbath, but all the days
held sacred by the Catholic church. To
keep all the days held sacred to the
dominant church az well as their own,
was IN effect to abandon their fields,
orchards, and vineyards altogether.
The same causes prevented them from
engaging in manufactures or local trade,
They had but one way of proftab.y
investing their capital, and that was to
let it out at usuTy. The Jew became a
mOney-lnaner, not from choice, but by
force of circumstances. Money would
increase during church days as well as
other days, but capital was unproductive
large portion of the time if invested in
land, goods, or machinery.

Prayer is not Il consultation with the
highest wisdom which this world can
supply. II is not intercourse with al
angel or a spirit made perfect. But 1t
is an approach to the living God. 1t is
access to the high and Holy One who
inhabiteth eternity. 1t Is detailing IN
the ear Of Divine sympathy every sOT~
row. It is consulting with Divine wis
dom on every difficulty. 1t is asking
frOuADiviue resources the supply Of
every want. And this not once N a
lifetime, or for few moments on a
stated day of each year, but at any
moment, at every time Of need. What
ever be the Time of your calamity, it Is a
time when prayer Is available. How
ever early in the morning you seek the
gate of access, you find it already open :
and, however deep the midnight moment
when you find yourself in the sudden
arms of death the winged prayer can
bring an instant Savior near. And this
wherever you are. Ii needs not that
you should ascend some special Pisgah
or Moriah. It needs not that you should
enter some awful shrine, or put off your
shoes on some holy ground. Could 2
mementO be reared on every spot from
which an acceptable prayer has passed
away, and on which prompt answer has
come down, we should find JebOUdh-iSbqul-

BY MRS. W. H ROWE.


Only child's soft sigh and syelashes GENE by
Tear,
Ger an empty cage ana little dead bird that to
her young heart were dear
Only girls sigh for rbbOn, lac5 or a ring
For little they wetp warbe sweet ike buLbul
bird On the wing;
Only maiden tigh, as she looks at circlet of
gold;
Will her happiness be like it without end, as she
has been often told
Only woEnan's sigh; but, oh, it was laden with
care
AS it wandered out the zephyrs among, in the sweo
soft evening air;
Only a penitent's sigh, as she stood by grassy
mound,
Lo, an angel bent pitying ear; to him twas joy
sound
Only wanderers sigh, ss he draws near his child
hood home,
The cot he had left in wayward mood through a
heartless world to roam;
Only mothers sigh, as she watches her infant
smile,
And thinks what care for q fu uIe day may Iurk
in that infant vile;
Only the strong mans sigh, but its close bit
ter moan.
AS ne stood in the strength Of his manhood's
might, that Ioveliest thing alone;
Only daughte 3 sigh for neither loved and lost,
For she misses her more the years roll by, and
her ifeboat is tempest tossed
Only the sigh of the aged, life's evening draws
tOa c Ose;
They a5e weary and waiting eternity's dawn and
with 1t a blest repOse.
