Tn conversation with reporter, Repre-
sentative Manning, of Mississippi, said
that one of the most important things
for the south is to have the next
census show what proportion of the cot
ton crop is produced by white labor.
Said Mr.. Manning: "Our northern
friends look upon us in the south as a
lazy, indOlent people. They think that
the negroes perform all the labor in the
cotton fields; that Cuffy alone, with his
woody head and fat feet, can stand the
exposure Of the sun. Why, the white
hands of our white men and women, and
children, too, of the south, have pro-
duced three-fifths of this years. cotton
crop, which will reach total of nearly
5000, 600 bales. White labor raises from
% to 40 per cent. more cotton to the acre
than colOred labor. That is fact well
known in our country. Now, if we can
only get these statistical facts before the
world in an official form, in a nOn-par-
tisian document, like the census, it
would be worth millions of dollars to the
south. We have the most fertile soil on
the globe, and when the white, can be
convinced that they can cultivate it
more profitably than any other kind of
labor, they will 60 there. The great
need of the south is to induce white emf
grafton, and the greatest step toward
that will lie accomplished when We show
the error of the impression that the eli
mate is only adapted to negro labor"
Muck.
A Vermont farmer writes 10 the Amer
lean Cultivator: although muck has
but little value when spread alone upon
the land, yet it is unquestiOnably the
best absorbent we can obtain for the sta
bile, sty or yard. 1t is better than sods.

good shape to handle, different in this re-
spect from straw, weeds, or forest leaves,

drawing muck; that is mistake, since,
by its use, they simply save such ele-

being the case, discretion is needed not
to waste labor by drawing more muck
than is necessary for use as an absorbent.
Collecting muck to excess would b. ike
lighting two lamps when the light of one

The Cause of Asiatic RevOltS.


The efforts now making to excite
the Afghans Of kohistan against the
English are fair specimen OF the
way ia which rebeliions are kindled IN
the East. Among fierce AID blgoted
men, grossly ignorant and childish'y
credulous, accustomed to act upon the
first impulse, without any fixed plan,
it suflices to spread report that their
religion has been insul;ed or their
nationality outraged. No matter how
groundiess or how extravagant such a
suspicion may be, it is certain to be
implicitly believed. and f'rmldably
avenged. In 1888, the Introduction
of a new cap into an AngiO-lndian
regiment was declared by some mis-
chlet-maker to porlend compulsory
change Of religion, and the whole iegi-
men, mulinied forthwith. 10 1891,

served TO the native troops were
creased with beef-fai-the deadlIest of
all detiemen's TO Hindu-Save the
rebel leaders thousands Of their best
recruits. A still more striking Instance
occvrred in Russian TurkeStan few
years ago. Smallpox having declared
itself iu the Bokhariote town Of Kettle
kurgan, the Russian authorities gave
orders fer the vaccination of all the
Inhabitants. 1t was rumorcd that
this was device for marking chose
who were to be drawn as soldiers /;
aud this absurd fable excited 10000
men to d furious riot, which cost the
lives Of the presiding doctor and his
chief assistant, and was only quoted
after considerable bloodshed

Negro Songs.

Within the last few months we
have printed several religious songs
for our colored friends, which appear
to be very popular aud are sung at
all their meetings, to airs to which they
have set the songs according to their
own peculiar style. Some Of these
songs have considerable merit, while
others are strange medley of appa-
rently almost meaningless Import, to
US at least The music, although the
rules Of the CANNOT are entirely ig-
nored. is generally ver5 melodious.
The following specimen We consider
by far the best of any Of these songs
that we have seen. The refrain to
this is simply a repetition Of "Amen"
seven or eight times. The reader
will no doubt discover the same merit
in this song that We have, and Which
has led us to give it place 10 our
columns.
