DANGER FROM THE SOLID SOUTH.
Extract from Recent Speech by Congress-
man Foster of Ohio

Extract from a Recent Speech by Congress-
man Foster, of Ohio.
The Republican party adopted the three
great constitutional amendments giving
liberty, citizenship and suffrage to the
colored man, not as an empty form, but
to be maintained, executed and enforced
as are all other provisions of the consti-
tuition. In the spirit of the greatest
iberality and kindness we restored the
property and the political rights Of those
who had forfeited them by their armed
attempt to destroy the republic. They
now at least cannot deny that they are
in the full enjoyment Of them. Will
they respect and enforce the former in
letter and spirit I believed in and
supported President Hayes in the policy
of refusing the use OF force to sustain
State Governments. I believed in it as
matter of principle, though his course
can be sustained on the ground of ne
cesslty. had hoped that this policy of
kindness and Cancellation would result
in the formation OF public sentiment
In the South that would permit Repub-
licans to exercise fully all of the political
rights guaranteed to them by the consti-
tuition ana the amendments thereto.
Knowing that there are large number
OF the people South who are tired
of the Bourbon Democracy, I
hoped that the Presidents course
would permit them the more easily
to assert themselves in some form OF op-
position to the Democracy. I see signs
OF realization OF this hope, especially in
the States of Tennessee, North Carolina,
and Texas, but in less permanent form
than I had hoped. The PresideCt's
policy has lost bin the sympathy of the
great mass Of his party. That he has
conscientiously done his duty, as he saw
it, there can be no question. No matter
whether the conventions indorse him or
not, no man will rejoice more than he
over Republican success, North or
South. While he was beslobbered with
praise from the Southern Democracy
they seemed to be laying broad and
deep the foundation for solid South.
Upon the attempt through the Potter
resolution to unseat the President they,
with barely two exceptions, voted for it.

WHEN any epidemic RACES, there is al
ways much groundless alarm among
some classes of persons. Precaution and
care should not be COMPOUNDED with
alarm. Not long ago an account was
published showing the result in single
instance of alarm and ignorance. A
young Frenchwoman from New Orleans.
accompanied by her nephew, was trav-
cling North. The nephew fell from the
train and was killed. Afterward the
woman was quite ill, and, it being
thought that she had yellow fever, she
was taken from the cars at Louisville
and sent to the hospital. The physician
declared it serious case of yellow
fever. She was treated with the most
stringent remedies. Her clothing and
baggage were fumigated, and there was
great excitement over the matter. She
was kept isolated in the hospital several
days, and seemed to grow no better and
no worse, except that her excitement in.
creased and her rawlings in French con.
tinued. The French Consul was finally
sent for, and after few moments con.
versation discovered that she was not
sick, but perfectly well, except that she
could not understand English, and was
in a state Of great nervous excitement
over the accidental death of her nephew
and the remarkable treatment she haC
received from what she supposed was &
gang OF bandits. Other physicians were
called in, and corroborated the Consul's
statements, and she was released ana
sent on her way with her nephew's body

Autumn Gardening.

Another season of buds and blossoms will
soon be numbered with the past. Soon the
early frosts will blight our dearest floral pets,
and, if we would have plants growing in our
rooms in the winter, and gay beds of lowers to
greet us in the early spring, we must make the
preparations now.
Autumn is the very best time for dividing
and replanting all plants such as bleeding
heart (dielytra), poenies, phloxes aquilgei.
etc. Hardy bulbs of all kinds, includ-
ing hyacinths, tulips, narcissus, should be
planted.
Gladiolus and tuberose bulbs should be
taken up as soon as the leaves are ripe, dried
in the sun a few days, and then put away in q
warm room for the winter. Perennial seeds Of
such as wall-fower, sweet-william and phlox
must be sown now to get blooming plants next
season.
The sooner house plants for winter are pot
ted now the better. Always give good drain
age; put sufficient sand in the soil to keep it
porous and open. Use three or four inch pots
as general rule. All plants should be pruned
to reasonable extent before potting When
the operation is finished, water, shade few
days, and bring in house before fires are made.

all summer, in their pots, should be taken I'D.

that they know scarcely anything about
yellow fever. They can neither prevent
nor cure it. Ignorant old negro women
have been as successful in their treat
ment of the disease as the best phv-

attest the fact that the profession has no
knowledge of the cause of the disease.
Some state that it is contagious and
others that it is not. Some affirm that

YELLOW fever was much worse in New
Orleans in 1853 than it is this year.
During August of this year the highest
death-rate of any day was fifty-nine,
while in the same month of 1863 it

The business Of fattening geese and
chickens is amusingly illustrated at the
Paris Exhibition. A many-storied ma
chine contains stalls for geese, so mar
row that they must eat or die, the goose
shepherd being represented as putting
corn down their throats by means of
funnel. Fowls are treated to cruel after
the same fashion.

The largest cotton-mills in the world
are those at Narva, in Russia, on the
Gulf of Finland, eighty-one miles from

The Paris Exposition is not success
financially. The prospect is that the
receipts will come far short OF covering
the expenses. The loss will fall upon
the national treasury of France.

methods of treatment are as different as
their theories. One employs heat, and
another cold. Some prescribe alkalies,
and others acids, but none of them ap-
pear to do much good.

Servant Girls.

NOT long ago received letter from a vesy
young girl in a smart little town in Illinois.
asking my assistance in getting her a place to
work. She was chambermaid in hotel. and
WAS earning So per week, but thought she
might do better in the city. I wrote her i'm
mediately to stay where she was, as the CITY was
oyerrun with girls out of employment. and. if
she wished to retain her individuality. instead
OF dropping out of the sphere of womanhood.
she must not think of entering the rrecincts of
vast city. It is strange what q charm tbe
city seems to hold for working girls in the
country. And yet did they know what con-
tempt attaches to the word SERVANT AS
usually understood by the wealthy class of the
city, they would shudder at the prospect of
one day becoming a nonentlty amorg the cir
Gle of human beings.
"Hired help" out of the city are different
creatures from servant girls in the CITY. And
yet this distinction lies at the doors of some of
our female WRITER'S who seem to think there is
nothing human in the servant girl of TO-DAY.
and denounce the whole class because thew
have been unable to find those whom thew
could bring to their own standard of right.
Despite what is said and written, there are ex-
ceptlons, 1t must be, for cannot believe that
the thousands of girls who are dependent on
the work Of their hands for subsistence are
morally and physically in the depths of sin we
have been led to believe them to be. No Won
der poor destitute girls crowd into the ranks
OF clerks, sewing girls, ETC., for, though they
subsist on miserable pittance, they are con-
sidered as human beings at least.
Every year makes it harder for girls to re-
tain their purity and innocence, for every year
brings the servant girls into deeper disrepute.
The more they are deprecated, the less care
they have to please their employers. Let
whole-souled, amiable lady receive into her
family girl new to the situation-one who has
not been knocked about and put upon until
she has no confidence in the spirit or character

ness-"just perfection"
how long will the poor thing remain "iust

series of rebuffs from women who think SER

for their particular drudges. Every unamiable
mistress she serves will send her one step
nearer the verge of carelessness, until all re-
spect is gone, and impudence and stupborness

You are respected as possessing at least human

A Talk With the Little People.

Il 4cSAA w LII II1S A1CC1e F0OplGs
Mr.. EDITOR: If you will allow me little
corner in the columns of your paper will talk
to the children. Although there are many
juvenile magazines and periodicals for the
youth of the land, yet there are thousands Of
parents who are not able to take a paper pur-
posely for the little folks and there are many
parents who are thoughtless and careless about
the matter; but if in all daily and weekly pa
pers there was GIeodys few words for chill
dren, think the children would become in
structed, and, as they grew older, enjoy many
things that older people read.
LongfellOW our dear poet, was particularly
fond of children, and in his little book, which
he called italics of Wayside Inn, has a very
sweet. homeike poem, which he calls the
"Chidren's Hour" 1t so well describes the
twilight hour, when one is resting from the
fatigue of the day-it is too early, perhaps, to
light the lamps or gas, or it may be tea is not
quite ready; the children have put away their
books and toys, and are bordering what they
shall do next. So LongfelloW sits musing. and
we hear him say:
Between the dark and the daylight,
When the night is beginning to lower,
Comes pause in the days occupations,
That is known as the 1" Children's Hourp
hear in the chamber above me
The patter of little feet;
The sound of door that is opened,
And voices soft and sweet.
From my study see in the lamp-light
Descending the broad hall stair
Grave Alice and laughing Allegree,
And Edith with golden hair.
whisper, and then silence;
Yet know by their merry eyes
They are plotting and planning together
To take me by surprise.
A sudden rush from the stairway,
sudden raid from the hail.
By three doors left unguarded
They enter my castle wall!
They climb up into my turret,
Der the arms of my chair;
IT try to escape they surround me;
They seem to be everywhere
They almost devour me with kisses,
Their arms about entwine,
Till think of the Bishop of Bingen,
In his mouse-tower on the Rhine!
Do you think, Oh, blue-eyed banditti,
Because you have scaled the wall,
Such an old mustache as I am
Is not match for you all?
have you fast in my fortress,
And will not let you depart,
But put you down into the dungeon.
In the round-tower of my heart,
And there will keep you forever,
Yes, forever and day,
Till the walls shall crumble to ruins,
And molder in dust away.
