with my teeth.

oyster Culture IN germ. a,.y

OyStCT OUtCUTS III 0STW any
Oyster culture is extending in Ger
many, aud a society has just been estab-
llshed at Hamburg for the purpose plant
Ing new oyster beds In Scbleswlg-
Holstein. The east coast from the
frontier towards Angeln has been selected
as most suitable for the growth of this
favorite edible, and the necessary pre-
lIminary works for preparing the oyster
banks will be begun this month. About
100000 of young ones and two year
old oysters will be deposited for the
purpose of stocking the beds at the
marked-off stations. The small American
oysters which APPEAR to be acclimatized
already upon the clay banks ofthe Little
Belt, have been selected for the first
attempt at oyster culture on the coasts Of
Sehleswig- Holstein. The Prussian Gov
ernment not only gives its consent TO the
undertaking, but is also ready TO protect
1t by establishing guard along the new
oyster banks. II the experiment on the
Schleswig coast succeeds oyster culture
will be pushed in other suitable localities
along the coast of Northern Germany.
Miss Elizabeth Thompson, the well
known lady philanthropist, has pub
lished a curious little tract, con-
trasting the relative expense of rel
igion, living, enducation, rum, and to-
bacco. Rum, she computes, costs the
country $667, 688, SOC, annually; re-
igion, $47, 1886, Adjudication, $95, 406-
727. Rum costs each person SIT an
nually, whether they drink or not.

Inequality appears to be the divine
order; 1t always has existed; undoubt-
edly 1t will continue; all our theories
and priori speculations will not change
the nature of things. Even inequality
OF condition is the basis Of progress, the
incentive to exertion. Fortunately II
to-day we could make every man white,
every woman az like man ~ nature per-
mits, give to every human being tho
vide equally among all accumulated
wealth of the world, tomorrow differ
ences, unequal possession and differen-
tiation would begin again. We are at
tempting the regeneration OF society
with q misleading phase; were are wast-
ing our timeSwith theory that does not
fit the facts. There 10 an equality, but It
Is not of outward show;it lie independent
Of condition; 1t does not destroy proper
ty, nor ignore the difference of sex NOR
obliterate race traits. 1t Is the equality
Of men before God, of men before the
law; 1t IL the equal honor Of all honor
able labor. No more perniGous potion
ever obtained l0dgment In society than
the common one that TO "rise IN the
world" 10 necessarily to change the icon
ditiuon." Let there be content with
condition; jiscontent with individual
ignorance and imperfection. 1--WE waht'
says Emerson, "not a farmer, but man
on q farm" What a mischievous idea is
that which has grown, even in the Uui-
ted States, that mammal labor IL discred-
tablet There is surely some defect In
the theory Of equality In our society
which makes domestic service to be
Stunned az IL IL were disgrace. II
would be considered humorous sug-
gestion to advocate inequality as the
ory or of working dogma. Let US re
cognize 1t however, As a fact and shape
the effogts for the Improvement OF the
race in accordance with IL, encouraging
1t in some directions, restraining it from
injustice In others. Working by this re-
cosnitioD, we shall save the race from

Gle of republics ending in despotism and
experiments in government ending in

that "ihc Natchez was expected to leave
some time the evening before, though
no race was anticipated" The White
had, however, made excellent time,
leaving New Orleans ut $40 and reach
ing Baton Rouge at 100, nearly as good
time rs has ever been made before. The
Natchez passed UP after 4 o'clock. Capt,
feathers considers his boat the fastest
on the river, though he is not spelling
for a race. He is reported as having
said that he would bet S25, 900 that when
the river is high, he can leave the St.
Louis bridge ut any stated period and
land tho steamer Natchcz ut the New
Orleans wharfin forty-eight hours there
after. We are afraid he has not proposed
this bet where anybody was around who
had that amount laying about loose,
and as it OVERSEES our pile, we can't
call him.

a bold Attack on II White Man
by u Negro Desperate.

A few evenings ago, while Mr.. Bryant
one of tho owners Of the Arlington plant.
alton, was on his way to town, % drunk.
Ell negro man threw himself across the
road, and armed with razor, deiietl
him to continue further. Mr.. Is. turned
his horse and passed rapidly by, but re-
turning home he attempted to pass from
his residence to the sugarhousc, but on
opening the large gate separating the
two houses he was again accosted by
the same son Of Africa, who seemed de-.
ternihcd to take his life. A sharp per-
sonal combat ensned, in which Mr.. y.
snapped his pistol twice with no dis
charge, but being a strong and active
man, he made bis escape secure with no
less injury than an ugly gasl, across the
left temple and some flesh wounds on
the hand. An affidavit for the arrest of
the woud-bc assassin has been made
out and even Justice lays in store for
him.

A strange coincidence which speaks
well for the efficiency Of our present
police administration is in the fact that
before the present chief Of police was in
charge, the Jail bill for the city of Baton
Rouge ran as high as ninety dollars per
month, while il has gradually decreased
under Mr.. Ililcn until it reached the
sum d five dollars and seventy five
cents per month short time before he
met with the accident which confined
him to hiss bed. During this time it
again went up as high as sevcnty-fvc
dollars, but again in has decreased to
iorty-cight dollars, showing that viola

some regard for the authority of the
