The New Southern Slavery,

The occasional glimpses Of the hor-
rors of the Southern chaingang sys-
tenn, which have reached US from va
rious States in the form of details of
barbarity and statistics Of almost un-
precedented mortality, are enough to
show that though slavery has been
abolished in name, it really exists.
White culprits very occasionally suf-
fer, but the laws are intended for col
ored offenders, and are exercised with
relentless severity, and little or no re-
gard to justice Lille E. Barr, in a
recent number of the Christian Union,
describes visit to the Dade County
Georgia. coal mines prison which is a
fair parallel to the other forms of in
voluntary servitude to which the
blacks are subjected. The prisoners
sleep within a stockade, covering
about an acre of ground, and guarded
by bloodhounds and armed men. They
have no beds except a mere shelf, and
sleep in the clothes which they wear
by day. The walls of their log cab
ins are full Of cracks, and must be
fearfully cold in winter. The men
are chained to their shelves when they
retire at night. The writer, on visit
ing the mines, rode on a mule cart
driven by boy fifteen years old. He
had been a prisoner for five years,
having at the age Of ten been sentenc-
ed to forty years imprisonment for
burglary! Having reached the inter
ior of the mine, she suddenly heard a
wild plaintive voice singing in a key

have been a tear

Do Tt Well.

Whatever you do, do it well. A job
sighted, because it is apparently un-
important, leads to habitual neglect,
SO that men degenerate, insensibly,
into bad workmen.
THAT is good rough job," said a
foreman in our hearing, recently, and
he meant that it was a piece of work
not elegant in itself, but strongly
made and we'll put together.
Training the hand and eye to do
work well leads individuals to form
correct habits in other respects, and a
good workman is, in most cases, a
good citizen. No one need hope to
rise above his present situation who
suffers small things to pass by unim-
proved, or who neglects, metaphorical-
ly speaking, to pick up a cent because
it is not q dollar
Some of the wisest Lawmakers, the
best statesmen, the most gifted ar
fists, the most merciful judges, the
most ingenious mechanics, rose from
the great mass.
A rival of certain lawyer sought
to humiliate him publicly by saying:
You blacked my fathers boots once" :"
Yes," replied the lawyer, unabashed,
''and | did it we'll" And because of
his habit of doing even mean things
well, he rose to greater.
Take heart, all who toll! all youths
in humble situations, all in adverse
circumstances, and those who labor
unappreciated. If it be but to drive
the plow, strive to do it well; if it be
but to wax thread, wax it well; if only
to cut bolts, make good ones; or to
blow the bellows, keen the iron hot.
It is attention to business that lifts
the feet higher mp on the ladder.
Says the good Book: ''Seest thou
man diligent in his business, be shall
not stand before mean men. - Scien-
tific American.

w. B. asks: What finally becomes
of heat? Is it changed into some
form of force, or is it scattered and
wasted and resolved into nothing?
The sun has been for countless ages
pouring his store of heat upon the
earth. II. it receives nothing back,
where is the accumulation The coal
beds account for part of it, but not
for what has been received since their
formation. As the earth and the ma
terials Of which it is composed are linn
tied, it seems that the capacity for the
storage of force must also be limited.
Again, when those forces are liberated,
the same amount Of heat is evolved
that was originally stored there. If
there is no loss, the heat must accu-
mulate somewhere. Then, a very
small portion of the suns heat falls
upon any planet. What becomes of
the rest? A. 1t is assumed that heat
is simply the rapid vibration of an inn
ponderable elastic ether which per-
vades all matter and infinite space.
This hypothesis as to the nature of
heat is now generally admitted. If it
be correct, it is evident heat is not
matter, but state of matter, and can
not therefore be stored Scientific

ceded that the quasi alliance with the
Greenbackers in the late campaign
was source Of weakness to the party
rather than of strength, and that it
lost thereby many more votes than it
gained. The Democratic party has
several times tried the experiment of
forming coalitions with other factions,
and sacrificing its own principles to
conciliate its allies, but the expert
ment has in every case turned out dis
astrously. The party was never so
strong as when it boldly avowed its
own principles, and fought under its
own banner, and when it has achieved
success, it has done SO by faithful
adherence to the eternal principles of
right which are essentially its own,
and avoided entangling alliances with
all factions whatsoever. In the last
few years the party has trusted too
much to the fatal policy of expedien-
cy. It's leaders have resorted to this
or that device in order to achieve sue
cess. There has been too much dick
ering, trading and scheming. Time
honored principles have been abandon
ed for the visionary schemes of ideal
lists. From the tone of the Demo-
cratic press, we do not think this mis-
take will occur again. There is
manifest disposition to reafirm the
old faith of the party, and fling to the
breeze its old banner. There is dis
position to enunciate boldly the cardi-
nal principles Of Democracy, in de-
fense of which it has heretofore
fought and conquered. There will be
no trading nor bargaining, no surren-
der of Democratic faith, to please any
body. In the next battle, the party
will fight under its own flag Co
