SOUTHERN CHARITY.

The people of the North cannot stand
by and see the yellow-fever victims at
Memphis suffering and dying without
trying to alleviate their woes even if their
own kindred refused aid Therefore we
suppose money will be contributed in re-
sponse to the call of the President of the
Howard Association, and the necessary
funds be raised without serious trouble.
But we want the country to behold
the spectacle presented right here and
now.
But one point in the South is afflicted
with yellow-fever in epidemic form, and
that point with far less violence than last
year. Twenty cases of fever and eight
deaths are the largest number reported
for any one day.
perons, ought to blush over the fact that
if aid is required for this small number of
patients she should refuse or neglect to
furnish it. But that is not all. There
is the entire South linked together by a
common danger, a common cause, and
a common heroism'', as one of their
wordy orators put it, to draw from; and
vet this heroic and chivalric land does
not offer the paltry pittance demanded by
a few hundred sick people in one of her
principal cities. The chivalry walk by
on the other side, while the hated CYAN
KEGS are appealed to to save the lives of
the victims of the plague.
The spectacle is disgraceful. Where
is the boasted selfsacrifice of the men
and women of the South? Where is their
vauted brotherhood in suffering?
And this reminds us, by the way, that
we have not heard of Mr.. Jefferson Davis
as contributor to the relief of these suf-
ferers in his own State. Can he not spare
few dollars from the thousands of the
late widow Dorsey to save the lives of his
admiring fellow citizens? Where is La
mar with his big salary and big profits
from numerous plantations? Is he deaf
to the cry from Memphis? Is the North
the only place to which appeals can be
made successfully?
The Inter Ocean says this with no de-
sire to stop the flow of charity. If our
bitterest enemy be stricken with disease
and his own sons and daughters refused
to minister to him, it is our duty to rem
der assistance, and in this spirit we would
give; but we would have no hesitation in
denouncing the brutality and meanness
of such children, and we have no hesita-
ton in denouncing similar exhibition
on the part of the South to-day.
A people that will stand idly by while
their own neighbors are dying for aid and
raise no hand to alleviate their wants are
unworthy the name of Americans.
As we said at the beginning, however,
we, as strangers even, cannot see suffer-
ing without an effort to relieve it, and so
let the necessary money be raised and
sent Provide for these sufferers, and
when once more shall be begun the pas
time of killing Northern residents for en-
tertaining political views not in harmony
with Southern sentiment, entertain the
hope, at least, that those guilty Of such
crimes are not the selfsame persons who
have been raised to health through the
ministrations of Northern charity.-In

GENERAL GRANTS FUTURE MOVE
MENTs.- s.-PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 10.
The Evening Star has trustworthy infor
nation from private sources that General
Grant, after his arrival at San Francisco,
will visit the Yosemite and other wonders
of California, ! after which he will go to
Oregon, and remain there several weeks.
Utah, Wyoming and Colorado will next
be visited, after which he will go to Gale

city on Saturday night to meet his father
in San Francisco. General Grant sent
very strong request that Mr.. George W.
Childs, A. J. Drexel and one or two
others accompany him on his trip through
the Pacific Slope, but they have declined
on account of business engagements, and
will not even be able to go to San Fran
cisco to welcome him.

CROPS IN GERMANY PRETTY Good
The Frankfort Gazette of Aug. 20 says
that, the further harvesting operations
advance, the more evident it becomes that
the results of the harvest in Germany
will, on the whole, be very satisfactory.
In the Sonsh Germany, after the rye and
barley crops had been gathered in during
most glorious weather, the greater part of
the wheat has now been harvested under
equally favorable circumstances. In a
few districts only the crops have been
somewhat damaged by heavy storms,
sometimes accompanied with hail; but
the injury done has not been great or
widely extended. The quality Of the
grain of all kinds gathered in is every
where good, and in some districts-as,
for instance, in the Palatinate, the Breis-
gau, Watterau, and Upper Saubia, and
in great part of Upper Bavaria-may
be characterized as excellent. In North
Germany the rye harvest is now complet-
ed, and, except in some districts in the
eastern provinces, is reported to be salts
factory one. This week also the cutting
of wheat will be generally begun In the
north of Germany; and should the wealth
er remain fine, as there is at present every
prospect that it will, the harvest OF 1879
will On the whole, be regarded through
out Germany as a good one. In France
also, the Frankfort paper adds, there IS
every day better prospect OF good har-
vest. The yield of rye, it is true, has
proved to be poor but on the other hand
wheat, which forms the chief article OF
food in France, has recovered III re
remarkable manner.

THE NORTHEAST PASSAGE.

The Swedish exploring steamer Vega,
of the Nordenskjold Arctic expedition
arrived at Yokohama on the Sd inst hay
ing made the long sought northeast pas
sage from Europe to Asia. The expedition
sailed on the 4th of July, 1878, from
Gothenburg, a city on the west coast of
Sweden, and followed up the coast of
Norway into the Arctic ocean, passing
through the strait south of Nova Zembla
on the 5th of August, into the Kara Sea-.
There was no ice in sight in this latter
body of water, which Prof. Nordenskjold
says is especially dreaded by sailors. The
expedition pressed on in a northeast di-
rection along the coast of Siberia, and
on the 10Th OF August reached northeast
Cape, the extreme northern point of
Asia. Here a little ice was seen, but not
enough to impede progress. On the 26th
of August the mouth of the Siberia river
Lena was reached The islands of New
Siberia were engert with great fields of
ice, and they were not explored. Sailing
eastward the progress of the expedition
began to be retarded by ice, and on the
2Sth of September it was stopped alto
gether, in latitude 81 deg north, and
longitude III deg. "a min. west; and
here the expedition wintered, one mile
from land
The Professor says that during the
shortest day the sun was above the hori-
zon less than three hours, and then only
the upper limb was visible The cold
was intense, averaging 63 centigrade. At
this point the expedition was detained
264 days, but the time was passed in
comparative comfort, as the people on
shore, some 1000 in number, supplied
them with bear and reindeer meat.
On the 18th of July last, the vessel
was released from the ice, and passed on
her way into Behring Strait. and SO on
down to the coast of Japan, thus accom-
plishing a northeast voyage from Europe
to Asia without serious accident or loss
of life.
Many interesting discoveries were made
concerning Arctic currents, fauna fossil
remains, etc. The fossil remains on Behr-
ings, Island are said to be very numer-
Gus and varied, and to contain new
marine animal.
Prof. Nordenskjold is of opinion that
the voyage from Europe to Asia via the
Arctic Ocean and Behring's Strait would
be certain and safe with more experience
and that profitable trade might be built
up in Central Siberia with the inhabi-
tants along the Lena river The voyage,
however, must always be attended with
far more peril than those in the waters of
the temperate zone, and possesses few
attractions for even the most.hardy sailor
The full account of this remarkable ex-
pedition will be looked for with much in
terest, not only among all scholars, but
among all reading people. If Benefits
expedition should in the course of another
year discover the northwest passage,
there would be left but few geographical
problems for explorers to solve

Secretary Sherman's attention having
been called to the published statement
that he has directed that the silver dollar
should not be received by the Treasury
in certain cases, says that the statement
is absolutely false, and without shadow
of foundation. The law makes the silver
dollar legal tender for all purposes, and
it has always been received by the Treas
ury on payment of demands Of every kind
and as fully and freely as gold coin.

A gorilla from the west coast of Africa
is now lodged in the Crystal Palace, Lon
don. The chimpanzee and the orang-
outang have arms that enable them, with
slight stoop to touch the ground, while
the arm Of the gorilla is not much out of
proportion to a long-armed human being.
In the form of the hand and fingers too,
tits more like man, these being much
shorter than those of the other two. Most
of all, its ear is strikingly human, for it
is small and beautifully formed, and in
stead of thin leathry flap jutting out
ward is set well to the head. 1t has also
a wellformed brow, and it's dark brown
eyes tare lighted up with an expression
that seems to speak Of latent intelligence.
In profile it has the exact resemblance to
a little Guinea negro, the blacklist Of
blacks; but looked at ftll-faced the al
most total absence of nose, the fiat open
nostrils the long and powerful jaws and
the vast cavity which forms the mouth,
rob it of what is suggestive of the ''hu-
man face divine" When standing at
it's full height the gorilla may be about
two feet, but if he lives to be full grown
it may attain from four to five feet.

Now that tn seasQn for stprkeys~ u
here We would advise our readers to
take care of the feathers. Heretofore
very little use has been made of turkey
feathers, there being no market for
them. Occasionally q wing would be
saved to make fan, and that was about
all. But now quite a demand has
sprung up for them in making brushes
and dnsters,. and when the feathers are
properly taken care of, q good price may
Be obtained for them. In saving them,
put them in bags like goose feathers, but
tho body, wing and tail feathers should
be kept separate, and each kind packed
in box by itself. For tail and wing
feathers, the :, box should be a little
wider than the feather is long, and the
feather laid in the box straight, care
being taken that the sides and ends of
the feathers do not curl up, as that
spoils the feathers for making busters,
and thereby injuring the sale of them.
In selecting the wing feathers, leave out
the third joint, or that part commonly
used as as fan, as the feathers on that
part Of the wing are useless for making
busters. Body feathers should be kept
"a straight as possible, and also packed
in boxes. Care should be taken to keep
the feathers perfectly dry, as wet feath-
ers are unsaleable-turkeys therefore
should be all dry-picked,

Caleb Cushing's boyhood was spent in
poverty, attended with plenty Of hard
ships. His father, an intelligent young
fellow, who died great ship-0wner
worth $250,00O, destined him for the
mercantile profession. In the grammar
school, however, he quickly acquired the
esteem of his teacher, who taught him
Latin and Greek and sent him to Har-
ward. Mr.. Cushing's public career be-
gan when, in 1917, he was selected to
read an address to President Monroe, on
the occasion of his visit to Harvard. He
had inherited the right to become law.
.yer, a. there were eight or ten judges
among his ancestora After mastering
the profession, his health declined. He
was at that time tall, slender, studious
and reserved, with black eyes and hair.
He was quite unpopular in ladies' socie.
ty, and never sought it. Finally, how.
ever, he married Caroline Wildee, q
judges daughter, and woman with
stastes as studious as his own. She &C.
companied him to Europe, and after

to congress, he was the most popular
man in Rewburyport. His friends acted
like crazy men in advocating him. Fish
ing vessels returning to port were board
ed, and the crews implored to hurry
ashore and register themselves for Cush-
ing. He was even lugged about town
in his carriage, the horses being removed
by ardent Gushing men. The lighthouse
keepers even held hot disputes with the
people they met on: the water; about

student as he ever was subsequently,
