Sumac Gathering.

A Virginia paper says Sumac abounds here in large quantities, and it is gathered by colored people from June to October, who sell 1t to country mer-
 chants at fifty cents per cwt. The merchants sell it to the proprietors of sumac mills at Petersburg, where it is pulyerized and prepared for Northern markets, to be used in tanning and dy- ing. The gathering of this article has of late become so extensive that it may
 be regarded as new industry. Years ago the virtue of Virginia sumac was very little known, and consequently very little was gathered, but when 1t was found to be among the best in the world the demand for 1t has steadily
 mcreased--so much so that 1t is likely that before long it will be cultivated. Last year one of the merchants in Brunswick County shipped fifty tons to Petersburg. A colored hand can easily gather one hundred to one hundred and fifty pounds a day. Saturday is the busiest day for merchants in the rural districts, and then colored people can be seen coming to the stores from morning until evening to dispose of their sumac gathered during the week. Those that are too poor to own oxen or horses carry it. It is nothing un- usual for 8 colored woman to carry forty or fifty pounds at time on her head considerable distance. Since the article grows wild there are no restric- tions in the privilege of gathering it, but the colored people in general ask per- mission to do so. .s -.

Yankee Tools.

A former resident in Birmingham, England, writes from New Zealand |: Twas much interested in noticing hoy your staple trades were represented here. One article your town stands unrivalel in-lamps but in every other brancl of the hardware trade the vigorous Ya1- kees beat you. In agricultural and gal dening implements, stoves, domestD notions,' and the thousand and one articles of hardware English makers a1s nowhere here. For quality, adaptabilit and price the American articles bear ths palm. I was one day in the store of on of our leading hardware merchants whel 8 miner came in for a pick and shovel He was asked which he would look at English or American. 'Oh, Yanke tools for me, says the man 'Englisi are too clumsy My friend explaina that the English will persist in making the tools their grandfathers used"

Going for Ice Cream.

Burdette, of the Burlington Hasokeye, tells how the scarcity of young men works for evil at Nantucket :" One even- ing, l don't remember when, intro duced young friend of mine, and he is very young and very bashful, MT. Julian O. Elginbrod, of Buffalo, to young of society chatter he suggested the ice cream saloon. Then she arose and in- troduced him to her two school-gir friends, her mother, the mother of one of her friends, and an aunt who was visiting them. Then the aunt intro duced him to her elder sister and an old, lady who was not Q reIaJive, they ex=. plained, but was as dear to them as though she was their own mother Then they all said in 8 general sort of way, Well, are you all ready?' and answered themselves in the affirmative, as they slowly followed the horror-stricken young man to the door, and the pro- cession filed off down street toward the ice cream saloon. stopping on the way at house to pick up the old lady's daughter, and calling at store for the twin cousins of one of the aunts-beau- tiful girls they were-from Springfield. l WaGcuoQ the cOlumn when It swung Dy fours, right into line in front of the ice cream saloon, where it formed like line of men at railway ticket office, the old lady smilingly and patiently bring ing up the rear, standing under the fiickering gaslight and the steadfast stars, awaiting her chance at the frozen pudding, It was far, farsin the summer night when Julian Elginbrod returned to the hotel, and when looked out of the window and saw his .pallid face and glitter1ng eyes, and noted the club in one hand and the revolver in the other, and heard him mention my name and ask the night clerk what was the number of my room, I feared that he might feel harshly toward me, and I bar ricaded the door of my room with the lounge, the bedstead, the stove and the trunk, just before he came banging against 1t. He slept in the hall that night, across my threshold, and I only escaped the next afternoon, when the landlord, aweary of his incessant pound ing of my door panels with his club, had him arrested as dangerous luna tic."

An Old Story.

From grave to gay" is the order of
 life, and of newspapers as well-so we revive the old and amusing story of tha miller who sometimes had crazy fits, in which he always imagined himself to be the Lord judging the world. On these occasions he would put on a paper crown, ascend pile of meal bags with great dignity, and call his neighbors in succession. The same ones were always judged; and they were the millers of his vicinity. The first one summoned was Hans Schmidt. "Hans Schmidt, stand oop. Hans, vat is been your pishness in dat oder world ?" "I vas a miller. O Lort P "Vas you joost raan?" ssVell. ven the water wash low, and the pishness IS pad, o Lort, I sometimes dakes a leetle exdra doles." ''Vell, Hans you shall go ofer init te gotes, already vet" And so in succession all were trie and immediately sentenced to go over t, the goats. Last of all, the miller inva1 lably tried himself in the following style: "Jacob Miller, stand cop. Jacob, vat vas your pishness in dat oder vorld?" "I vas miller, O Lort." s'Vas you always joost man, Jacob?" "Vell, O Lort, ven de water vas leetle low and de pishness vas pad, sometimes dakes some leetle exdra doles to de poor" (After 8 pause)-''Vell, Jacob Miller, you can go ofer init der sheeps-but it vas von tight squeeze p

"What We Call ssTerra Firma.o

The rivers of the sea apart from the astonishment and wonder which their stupendous proportions must arouse in the mind of the student of nature, pre- sent themselves to us as subject of paramount interest, when we consider the part which they have played and are still playing in the building up of the topmost layer of the solid earth crust. in the perpetual changes of climatic condi- tlons, in the distribution of vegetable and animal life over the surface of our planet, and last, not least, in the recent advance of ocean navigation, by which the inhabitants of the most distant lands have been brought into close intercourse with each other. The erosive action of contiguration of the coast line, by taking away land in one place and depositing 1t elsewhere. Again, immense quanti- ties of sediment carried by all the rivers of the world into the sea are taken up by the currents and spread over the bed of the ocean. Geologists tell us that nearly all, if not all, the dry land at pres- ent existing has at one time been at the bottom of the sea, an assertion confirmed by the fact that the strata which com
 
 ranges have evidently been depositedin in ages long past upon the floor of the ocean, and still retain the remains of the animals which disported themselves in the seas of former days. What we are still in the habitof calling ''terra firma" is proved by modern observations to be in constant motion, rising and falling like the heaving breast of some mighty monster, whose arms stretch far beneath the waves. By the action of the subter- raneous forces, as yet unexplained, vast areas of the earth-crust are depressed below or lifted up above the level of the | sea, and we are beginning at last to un- derstand the truth of the maxim, that | there is nothing stable in the universe | of created things except the unstable.-I Scie1ace 0f GLl.

 "Cal you Lena Dawson And l suppose Lena Dawson is your name, is it not ?" observed the Judge.

POISONED WATERMELoNs.- Ns.-The col ored people of Halifax, Va, recently held an assembly, and large number of them gathered daily in close proximity to fine watermelon patch owned by a white man. It was noticed by the owner that his melons were rapidly disappear ing, and he connected their absence with the presence of the negroes. Thereupon he put up large placard with the warn ing: "Look out These watermelons are poisoned!" Naturally enough the col ored people thought this sign was in tended merely to frighten them, and a number of them did not hesitate to at- tack the melons. The result was fatal to one negro, and left four or five others in critical condition. The melons con- tained strychnine, introduced into them through punctures in the rind so sma] as to escape observation.

AFTER TWENTY YEARs.-Napoleon B. Arthur deserted his wife and family at Marysville, Ohio, twenty years ago, to elope with a neighbours daughter. His wife remained on the farm, and reared their children, while he wandered about the country. A poor, broken old tramp presented himself recently at the home stead, This was the wreck of the hus- band and father. He begged for food and lodging, expressing the utmost con- trition for his bad behavior. The wife acted with promptness. She set the dog on him, and he barely escaped with his life.

TO the United States have increased
largely, but the imports thertfrom in
a still larger ratio. American. manu-.
factures of all kinds are to be found
10 the principal stores of the city, and
find a good market. American pro-
visions, especially canned meats, are
sold by every grocer in Hamburg.
Immense quantities of oysters in the
shell from the United States are i'm
ported. American breadstuffs, in un-
precedented quantities, including In
dian corn, find ready sale in Germa-
n.y." With newly opened markets for
our products in nearly every country,
with a greatly increased demand for
our cereals for foreign markets the
opening future is bright with promise
of continued prosperity.
The demands of residents here for
suffrage and free government are as
suming such Importance as to call for
change. The people are tired of
having the privilege Of being ruled,
controlled and taxed by appointees Of
the President that are too often not
even residents, and are selected from
worn out political hacks, or men Of
such small possibilities az to be starved
out at home. Taxation without rep
resentation made Boston harbor the
scene of the loveliest kind of tilt
years ago, and because, forsooth, the
people of this District have quietly
submitted to this yoke SO far, let it
not be thought that the Spartan blood
Of the fathers will allow them forever
to be slaves and be robbed of their
liberties, within sight of the Figure of
Justice on the dome of the Capitol,
which brands the nations constitution
as an .unmitigated falsehood. If suf-
frage is heritage priced by the free
men Of Massachusetts and South Car
olina, it is a national disgrace and
outrage to deny the residents and tax
payers Of this District this boon
bought with the price of the best blood
of the nation. SENTINEL.
