What Smoking Does for Boys.

A certain doctor, struck with
the large number of boys under
fifteen years of age whom he oh
served smoking was led to inquire
into the effects the habit had on
the general health. He took for
his purpose thirty eight boys,
aged from nine to fifteen, and
carefully examined them; in
twenty-seven of them he discOv-
cred injurious traces of the habit.
In twenty-five there were various
disorders of the circulation and
digestion, palpitation of the heart,
and more or less marked taste for
strong drink. In twelve there
were frequent bleeding of the
nose, ten had disturbed sleep,
and twelve had slight liberation
of the mucous membrane of the
mouth, which disappeared on
ceasing from the use of tobacco
for some days. The doctor treated
them all for weakness, but with
little effect until the smoking was
discontinued, when health and
strength was soon restored.
These facts are given under the
authority Of the British Medical
Journal.

Our Enemies In the North.
vicksburg Commercial-Dem.l

Vicksburg Commercial-Dem.l
We have seen bill after bill appropria-
ting large sums for Northern streams and
Northern harbors, and mere pittances tor
such improvements in the South. The
reason is plain. The very class of North
ern politicians to whom the South has ac-
knowledgcd allegiance, the very men to whose
coattails she has tried to cling, the very
political elements she has cultivated and
followed and fostered and attempted to
raise TO power and position, III short the
very Democrats of the far-off East for
whom the South has thrown up her hat
and shouted herself hoarse, have proven
themselves to be the enemies of her best
interests and have denied TO her, as far as
in their power lay, the smallest fraction of
the portion they would claim for their own
section.
We have too much sentiment in our poll
tics. Too much school-boy fourth of july
and glorious pcr-rineiples and time-honored
thingamy-doodles; too much old Jefferson
ian Monroe fossilized Democracy, and too
little commOA-sense and business. We are
down to hard pan; we have been bled freely;
we gave up the bulk of our property at one
payment when the institution of slavery
was abolished; we gave up what we had
left when the cotton tax was imposed, and
We have been giving them literally of all
that we have made since to keep up gov
ernment that, until less than year and
a-half ago, we had hardly participated In
We are not cracking, we have no regrets
for the past, no disposition to repine, simply
lesson to learn and TO apply and to profit
bv experience. The future is all right If
We see fit to make il so, and if we do not it
is our own fault. Among the first to OPP
pose the extension of any aid to great ma
terial interests of the South was Demo-
crat, who opposed the present incumbent in
the race for the Presidency, and his per
sonal organ, the New York Sun, continues
TO oppose and viliify the men of our sec
ton. Among our Representatives in Con-
gress are some, even Of our own people, who
have been led off by the Northern sharpers,
and who have opposed the most important
interests OF their people. Let them be not
We cannot blame them for hav-
ing honest convictions, but we can't afford
10 sacrifice the good of our entire people
for the ''honest convictions" of politician.
We say plainly the South wants Govern
nent aid in the same proportion as it is ex-
ended to the North. We ask nothing
more than justice and fair dealing. but we

Does Cotton Planting Pay at Present
Prices.

This question is answered by
the Farm Journal as follows:
That depends on how the bust
ness is conducted. If the planter
expects to live in town and turn
the plantation over to an overseer
and a lot of hired freedmen, At
acW not If he farms with freed
men on shares and leaves him to
manage everything, 1t loM not
II he plants without proper pre-
paration and cultivates land too
poor to make a crop, It 1OW not. If
he relies on the proceeds of the
cotton crop for the purchase of
supplies and the payment of all
the expenses of the farm, 1t s0iU
not. If he buys everything on
credit and pays 80 per cent. more
than they cost at cash prices, 1t
OW not If he permits his mule to
be abused, his plantation utensils
to be lost and destroyed, his barns
TO be robbed and his pi rs to be
stolen, 1t scW not. But if he gives
his personal supervision to the
business, and hires his laborers
for wages, prepares his lands we'll
and fertilizes it well, makes his
supplies at home, pays as he goes
and takes care of his stock and
farming utensils, 1t 'eM. There is
a big IF in the way, but it doesn't
involve a single condition that is
impracticable or unreasonable.
1t requires no more than mere
observance of those laws of in
dustry and economy which are
essential to success in every
business.

The Crops.


Gallatin Tennesseean Reports
about the wheat are somewhat
conflicting. 1t is doubtless Sc
verely injured in many localities,
but not as badly rs many think.
Columbia Herald and Mail :
Col. Jerome Pillow, one of the
most experienced, observing and
sagacious farmers in the county,
and we might say in the State,
informed us that he has never
known rust to destroy or injure
wheat when it first attacks the
blade. The rust that Injuries the
wheat is that which attacks the
stalk first, and this destroys the
wheat. So long as the stalk is
unaffected, the substance goes to
the head and makes good wheat.
He SAYS Maury county will make
more bushels of wheat this year
than it did last. All the farmers
say the wheat is improving. L.
NJ. HalcOmbe, Esq, says the
wheat in the eastern part of the
county on Double Branches is
improving very much and is head
ING out well. The rust has not
touched the stalk and the sap is
going TO the head. Wheat has
been knewn to make a good yield
when all the leaves were destroy
ed. Much of the panic has been
unnecessary. The stalk is yet
green and flourishing. AS it is
in Marry. so we hope it may be
in other counties.

YES, SPEAK RIGHT OUT.

General Chalmers, the gallant
Representative of the Vicksburg
(Miss.) district in Congress, thus
cloquentIy pleads for the South !:
If then we of the South are a
part of this Union, we ask in the
name Of justice and humanity an
equal distribution of its Govern
ment aid. If our poor petition"
is to be spurned, if our rights are
to be denied to US, and by our
Democratic friends, the sooner we
know it the better. When we be-
lieved the success of the Repub-
lican party meant the destruction
of every cherished right we pos
sessed, we were solid for the
Democratic party which strug
gled to shield us from this oppres-
SION. x x
But, sir, if we are to be treated
as orphans in the house of our
fathers; if we are to be told to
hush every time we ask for any
thing least we jeopardize the as
pirations of Presidential candi-
dates; If an alliance with us is to
be deemed one Of doubtful re-
spectability; if prominent Demo
Gratis i'll order to maintain their
position in the National Demo
cratic party must be constantly
shaking their skirts clear of South
crn improvements; if, in short, we
are to be but hewers of wood and
drawers of water, then | say
to gentlemen that unity of inter
est makes unity of sentiment, and
unity Of sentiment is the founda-
ton stone of political organiza-
ton. The Solid South may still
be solid, and l hope she may, for
the Democratic party; but in my
Judgment it will be solid for that
man and that portion of the party
which recognizes her States as
tenants in common, and not as
tenants at sufferance with their
sisters, and which is ready to re
ceive her sons into full fellow
ship in this great American
brotherhood.

Unpleasant but True.

Gin. Commercial: 1t is painful to
note of late years how many criminals
come from honorable old American
families. 1t is because they have been
brought up to be ''above" hard work
Meantime sturdy foreigners who know
the worth of home in this free coun-
try, quietly take possession of the pillow,
the spade and hammer. They dig
and delve as the pioneer ancestors
digged and delved. Their strong
limbed boys and girls are put to the
common schools until they are old
enough to work, when they, too, must
earn their own living and help earn
that of others. From the ranks of
these children of foreign born citizens
will come the men of power who are
to rule this country in the next gener-
alton.

ATLASTA, Ga, May II, 1873
The General Conference has ia it
some of the most eminent men of the
country; men who have distinguished
themselves in the learned professions
and the councils of their respective
States. 1t would be impracticable TO
mention the names of all the distin-
guished gentlemen of the Conference,
but the following honor the church
with their presence and wisdom in
this, ner highest judicatory:
Gov. 4. Fl. Colquitt, Georgia; Col.
6. NJ. Balm, Virginia; Hon. r, b.
Vance, North Carolina; DR.. j. a.
Carlisle, South Carolina; Hon. S. H.
Dent, Alabama; Col. w. L. Nugent,
Mississippi, Hon. II. w. Foote, Mis-
sissippi; Hon. A. r. Boone, Tennessee;
Hon. w. B. Harrison, Kentucky; Hon.
II. Clay Ewing, Missouri; Gen. w. w.
Garland, Arkansas; Hon. j. D. Gid
dings, Texas; Hon. J. G. c.. Winch,
Texas; Hon g. N. Lester, Georgia;
Prof. n. t. Lupton, Vanderbilt Uni
versity. 1t will be seen that mum Der
of the gentlemen hayea reputation be-
yond their own State They are or
derby and conservative members ofthe
Conference and add much to the dig
nifty and wisdom of the body.
The private circles are less disturbed
by the discussion Of the coming man.
for the Episcopacy than usual. The
members Of the Conference are quite
reticelt on the subject. No man seems
to be conspicuous before the church
for this high office. DIR. A. q. Hay
good, of Georgia; DIR. r. K. Hargrove,
of Tennessee; DIR. Linns Parker, OF
Louisiana, and DR.. A. w. Wilson, of
Baltimore; are mentioned oftener than
any others. But the sentiment is
strong and increasing that no Bishop
viii be elected. The present college
of Bishops, if relieved from attending
the District Conference, can do the
work for the next four years without
an additional Bishop. Yet one Bishop
may be elected The Committee on
Episcopacy has not yet reported on
the subscription.
The condition of the publishing
house, at Nashville, is undergoing
thorough examination by an able com
mittee, of which DIR. j. B. McFerrin
is chairman. Much interest is felt
here in this investigation, and it may
be considered the absorbing question
before the Conference.

ALCOHOLIC MEDICATION.
A PhysIoian'. Views on Intoxicating Drink.
Editor National PrOhibitiOnist.


The base of all the wide-spreading
incompetence of the land and the con-
sequent devastation, ruin, misery,
crime, sin and death that is daily
chronicled, IS Alcohol. Alcohol, wheth-
er in cider, beer, stronger or lighter
wines, foreign or domestic, brandy,
rum, gin, whisky, &C., is the same
poisonous envenomed fang that strikes
home the fatal blow. Alcohol is a
volatile, infammable liquid, with a
pungent odor and burning taste, that
will unite in all proportions with water,
hence the great pariety Of forms and
names under which it is melted out to
the human family by legalized licensed
vendors. The chemical constituents
are, when pure, one equivalent of
ethyl(C4 H5) and one of oxygen
combined with one equal of water.
When alcoholic drinks are taken into
the stomach, every organ brought in
contact is injured.
But the most characteristic effects
are upon the brain. If person take
daily potations of alcoholic liquors of
any kind, it will not be long before,
when the time approaches for taking
the accustomed stimulus, feeling Of
anxiety or uneasiness win spring up as
if an urgent want must be supplied,
and this is but the natural sequence
brought about by the ''habitWal dri,lker"
who accustoms his system to the daily
stimulation of the life functions of the
different organs. Day by day more
is required to relieve the uneasiness
and produce the exhilirating effect
longed for, and as the increase is daily
made in the number of rotations or
in the quantity swallowed In obedi-
ence to the calls of perverted appetite,
and nervous and functional derange-
ment caused by continued stimulation
of the different organs lmnaturally,
the powers of resistance gradually di-
minish, and ere long are completely
overcome, and the confirmed drunk
ard is before US for our sympathies
and our charity and our support, if
not for punishment for some fragrant
violation of the criminal code of the
land. s. &. GRIswOLD.
