Philadelphia Times.l
Gen. s. G.. Armstrong, principal of
the Hampton Normal and Agricul-
tural Institute, at Hampton, Virginia,
addressed quite large gathering of
ladies and gentlemen at the Assembly
buildings, Tenth and Chestnut streets,
last evening, on work and needs of
that institution. The school was estab-
lished about ten years ago for the men
tai and physical education OF negro
youths Of both sexes. The speaker
said that since It's organization it had
about 900 students, Of whom about 800
have graduated. 1t has furnished a
large number OF colored teachers for
the South, SO per cent. of whom were
sent for by or sent to school directors
who were Observation-Disclosures or ex-
officers in the Confederate army. "a
large part of the Southern peo-
pie" he said, care as thoroughly in
favor of the elevation Of the eolored
pc ople as you and l are. I don't mean
those whO live in politics or write for
the new spa pers, but the great mass Of
the industrious, conservative, thinking
people. The change in pub ic sentiment
in the South IL this respect during the
last ten years has been very great.
There has been a great ground-swell in
this direction, and in time it viii be
seen on the surface. We spend about
So, 900 year to maintal.l the Hamp-

Virginia gives us $4,000, and the

with the Secretary Of the
Interior and and Commissioner Of In

What A Greenback Is.

Soon after the war Hon. Salmon P.
Chase, Secretary Of Treasury, and the
Father Of Greenbacks, made a
speech from which the following ex-
tract is taken:
''What is Greenback? Did YOU
ever think what it was? Why, it is
simply the credit of the great Ameri-
can people put in the form of money,
to circulate among the very people
whose credit it makes worth anything.
When 1 was Secretary of the Treasury,
the question arose how should these
vast armies and navies be supplied
How should the boys befed in thefeld,
the sailors in ships, and provision made
for their support, their clothing, their
food and transportation? | found that
the banks ofthe country had suspend
ed specie payment. What was [ to do?
The banks wanted me to borrow their
credit or pay them interest in gold on
their credit. They did not pay any
themselves, but they wanted me to Dor
row their notes. l said, 10, gentlemen,
this great American people is worth
all ofyou put together, and l will take
the credit of the people and cut it up
in the form of little bits Of paper, and
we will circulate that paper. This is
the true idea of a greenback. 1t is the
credit and property of the American
people, made to serve the purpose of
money in the midst of a great strife,
when we must have everything we can
get And, in my humble Judgment,
if out Of this war the national currency
becomes as IS provided in our platform,
so that no Western farmer or merchant
will be obliged to pay tribute to the
East in his exchange; so that we shall
not lose upon exchange, SO large a
profit upon our industry: so that the
laborer receives his dollar or two
dollars, or a dozen dollars, at the night
Of the weeks end, shall be perfectly
sure that it will not turn to dust and
ashes before the morning sun rises.
say, if you can get such a currency as
this, then this country, at least, has not
been without one of the collateral ben
eft Of the war; you can take the mon
ey on the Atlantic and go to the Pa
ci6c, and pay your bills all the way,
without having to change the currency
at every tavern you stop at.

A Tree in the Ocean.

A submarine plant growing in the
North Pacific ocean, one of the Melan-
osperms, and known to the botanis as
the Nacroejstis Py-itera, is said to dwarf
all vegetable products yet known by its
prodigious proportions. 1t grows some
times to such a size as to cover vast
areas Of sea-bed, one specimen having
been discovered that occupied by
measurement three square miles, while
the stem was eight feet thick. 1t Is
difficult to conceive of such q plant,
ard to understand how any adequate
system Of nourishment can be main
tanned through so extended channels
The Macrocistis leaves the famous Big
Trees of California immeasurlble be
hind making them seem, indeed, like
small reeds. 1t has an infinite variety,
some specimens being 50 small as to
be visible only under a powerful micro
scope The much-talked of wonders
Of nature are more wonderful than has
been conjectured, as research and
science are daily teaching us.
The report of the Assessors upon
the educational advantages of the in
habitants Of forty-three of the fifty
eight parishes in Louisiana is rather
discouraging, It shows that there are
$4,000 voters in all, of whom %, 200
know nothing Of reading and writing.
OF these uneducated ones $4,000 are
whites and 81 900 colored.

The Philosophy Of Newspaper Adyer-
Using

The Philosophy Of Newspaper AdYer-
Using.
Hermit" the New York cores
pendent Of the Troy Times, a close
observer of things in New York, in
his latest letter philosopbically re-
marks:
''The autumn trade is now III full
activity, and business men are exert
ing every effort to improve the har-
vest. One method is the hand-bill
system, by which the hotels are daily
inundated. During the business sea
son one boy after another Will go the
rounds, and in this way an attempt is
made 10 obtain trade Of these, how
ever the greater part are wasted, since
the waiter generally picks them up and
throws them into the street, and the
next day a fresh inundatiOn takes
place. Experience has clearly demon
strated that the most efficient method
Of advertising is found in the judicious
use of the newspaper columns. The
grounds on which newspaper adver-
Using, as system, is based is hannah
confidence, since we cannot avoid ba-
lieving that which We constantly read.
This confidence is sometimes abused,
but still it is evident that a good adj
vertisement viii, if sufficiently re-
Peated, carry popular opinion. Men
who advertise with the greatest per
sistency eventually reach success.
There is a military principle involved
in this method, since the article adver-
tised should be pressed on the public
by repeated assaults. The correct
view, which experience brings to each
man, is that advertising should be in
cluded in the general estimate Of ex-
pense, as regularly as store rent, clerk
hire and insurance. 1t is often said. a
good stand at high rent is better than
a poor one rent free. Well, advertis-
ing brings a man before the public il
way that makes any stand good.
The best stand you can have is to be

Rnsiness prosnects for 1s7a.

Philadelphia North Americana
People who look forth at the com
mercial aspect are somewhat disheart-
oncd at the absence of business activi-
tv and enterprise. This discourage
ment deepens as each successive pros
pect of renewed spirit, to arise from
some political event, proves to be de
lusive. In England the condition of
business is no better. Nevertheless we
believe that the republic is about to
make start on another era Of expan-
sion destined to be far-reaching and
powerful, and this idea is so extensive
ly entertained that capitalists are
eagerly waiting the opportunity of tax
ing the tide at the proper stage.
Through the whole of the revulsion
Philadelphia has displayed so much
courage, faith and endurance that We
have high confidence in the ability of
our people to do their whole duty when
the time comes. All the private i'm
provements Of the present season bear
witness to the dauntless spirit of our
capitalists and business men and eff
us to look forward with bright

lYEOLEsALE ROBBERY.

Currency contraction has rob
bed real estate Of its value and
given money quadrupled worth.
The federal legislation that gave
birth to this fruitful source of all
our woes, is nursing into life a
silent but terrible revolution.
The people cannot stand idly by
and see the immense landed pro-
perty Of the country stricken as
with the blight Of death. Since
the crisis Of 1873 down, down
have gone all property values,
while money as commodity has
correspondingly enhanced in val
ne. Under the policy of CON
traction which was then lnstitu-
ted in the interest Of a monied
oligarchy it was soon seen that
the mortgaged Indebtedness Of
the country would involve in
hopeless bankruptcy millions Of
heretofore solvent and response
BILE persons. The public fears in
this direction are being bitterly
realized. Not sale of real pro-
perty occurs that we do not wit
moss a shrinkage in value thereof
which is tantamOunt to robbery.
Little did the late deceased and
thrifty Amos Black, who, through
Il life Of honest endcavOr, had
accumulated a respectable com
potency, dream that the earnings
of a lifetime of labor and econo-
my could :be so pilfered and plum
dered under the direct action of
y condition Of financial affairs
inauguratcd by a government
which was solemnly instituted to
protect the rights of property.
The heirs sold the decedent's pro-
perty last week for a division,
end that which in the aggregate
cost ten thousand dollars in 1873
only brought about thirty-three
hundred dollars.
Here is a sample Of the fruit Of
contraction. That sale lis only
one among millions of instances
wherein the dead and the. living
are being robbed by the formal
sanction of legislative enactment.
This torturing screw Of cOntrac-
ton must soon cease. Sherman
is about to give it the last turn,
aad then all labor and property
values will be at the mercy Of
gold, which will be found snugly
ensconsed in the vaults Of the
houdholding gentry. Under con
traction tradesmen may, per-
chance, live, but labor IS impov-

THE GREENBACKERs

Among to-day's arrivals here are a
number of prominent representatives. Of
the Greenback party, who viii hold a
conference on Monday next, with a
view to submit to Congress certain
recommendations intended to clearly
embody some very respectful financial
suggestions, which they Will invite Con
gress to give consideration. As yet
there has not been an opportunity to
formulate in proper shape just what is
wanted. The action of the New York
Clearinghouse in its attitude toward
silver dollar will be denounced, and
legislation, if necessary, recommended
that will tend to advance rather than
depreciate its value as a circulating
medium. Among those here are Moses
w Field, of Detroit; Colonel Lee
Crandall, Of Pennsylvania; Rev. Gil
bert De La Matyr; Representative
elect March, of Maine, and many
others. After Sherman's report is made
public and his views officially COM
municated to the country as to his con-
nectiOn with the scheme of the New
York Clearinghouse, the conference
will be held. It is not believed to be
the intention of the meeting to attempt
in any way to handicap Secretary
Sherman, but to see to it that in his
zeal to forward resumption he does not
handicap himself.
