in coal end iron ore. In Virginia
there has been some immigration from
England, but more from Pennsylvania
and the Eastern States, large bodies of
lands, rich in coal and iron, having
been bought up there by Eastern iron
masters and others. The estimated
increase in, population in F. ;ds is
over sixty per cent. in Arkansas
nearly fifty per cent. in West Vir-
ginia sixty per cent. in Louisiana
and the other Gulf States about twen-
ty percen As these figures are off,

any charge Of fraud in the enumera-

more rapidly than before, and this is
what they have done.

THE GENTLEMAN WHO WINS
If you speak the right word at
the right time if you are careful
to leave people with a good i'm
preston ; if you do not tresspass
ON the rights of others; if you
do not put yourself unduly for
ward if You do not forget
-courtesies which belong to your
position, you are quite sure to
accomplish much in life which
others fail TO-. This is where
the p, race is not. to the swift
nor the battle to the strong. 1t
is where you make people fee
that you are unselfsh, and honor
able. and truthful and sincere
This is what society is looking fol

much men are able to win self

turning point of success in prac

His strength was born with him.

not of unusual size, his spinal COL

THE WORLDS FAIR IN 1883.
Meeting Of the Commissioners IN New York
City Yesterday.

NEW York, August 10.-The COM
mission for the United States Inter
national Exhibition Of 1883 assembled
in the Governors room in the City
Hall at doom. Col. Stebbins, of N.
Y, acted as temporary chairman.
Mayor Cooper welcomed and extended
the hospitalities Of the city to the
commissioners. Thurlow Weed was
present, and his appearance was greeted
with applause. On motion of Mr..
Hunt, of Louisiana, committee of
five on credentials was appointed. Ex-
Governor Hatten addressed the CON-
missioners, and deprecated in the
discussions all illusions to politics.
Ex-Lieut. Governor Crawford, Of
Kansas, was the next speaker. He
thought the commissioners should
make the fair the greatest the world
has ever seen.
Mr.. Sperry, Of Connecticut, was
anxious to have the site at once de-.
cided on, as he thought the financial
men of the city would then come for
ward with the necessary funds.
Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia,
spoke of the peaceful effect that the
exhibition would have upon the entire
country when in the hearty grasp of
the hand of fellowship all sectional
feeling would be forgotten. The Hon.
Algernou Sullivan, representative Of
New York, addressed the commission
ers at length.
The report Of the committee on
credentials was received, and the roll
called. Committees on bylaws and
temporary organization were appointed,
after which Samuel A. Haines, chair.
man of the committee on the site
presented a long report, and special
committee of twelve was appointed to
visit the localities mentioned in that
report. A letter was read from Gen.
Hancock regretting his inability to
attend, but assuring the commissioners
of his interest in the undertaking.
The following temporary officers
were chosen Henry F. Stebbins,
President; F. L. Talcott, Vlce-Presi.
dent George W. Dibevois, Treasurer.

JOB PRLyTEV"G
1 BLOT OUT A DAY.

l keep on q desk before me a
calendar of the year, with the
day of each week by numerals.
Wber the day is~passed 1 draw
my pen across a figure or the
figures representing a day. 1t is
gone, and | blot it out. So far as
the column Of numerals is con-
cerned, can do so. p
But I am startled by the words,
4 blot out a day. A day is q
wheel in the great machinery Of
life,-a link in the chain of my
probation. 1t is as truly part Of
vital and essential being as a year
or a century. The day is given
me. Will it vanish. at my bid
ding? [ did not originate it.; l
only received it. L have no more
power to blot it out than to bring
it in.
1t was GIFT. How should I
treat the giver if I could and
would blot. it out? 1t came as a
proof of the love Of the Giver. To
many that day came not. 1t
was on its way, but the chain
broke. But Divine kindness would
not allow me to be a loser. Shall
l not honor the Girer?
A day of sadness perhaps! Blot
it ont for that reason? If my
sins made the sadness of the day,
then let the day stands memen.
to of and reminder of my folly.
That day is worth saving that
brings such . voice of reproof.
Perhaps the day was sad under
divine discipline. Surely, then, it
ought to stand lest: blotting it
out, offence be given to him who
aflicts 'for our profit that We
might be partakers Of his holi-
ness
A day of gladness, perhaps-the
sky bright, the air balmy, joy in
friends and all worldly comfort
above all, joy in the Lord and
gIadness in his salvation. Shall I
mar such q beautiful picture?
Shall 1 blot out such a day?

GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
Baltimore Sun.

:. Fragmentary estimates of the pop
ulatioD of cities and States, as fur.
nished by the census Of the present
year, have been given from time to
time in the Sun. They indicate a
larger increase in the population Of
the Southern States than was ex-
pected, and it is believed that this
increase will, Oh the whole, compare
fairly we'll with that of the North
western States during the past decade.
Some part Of this apparent Southern
increase may be due to tie greater
thoroughness with which the present
census has been taken there in COM
parison with the enumeration Of 1870.
Apart however, from this, there has
been a larger increase Of population
from interstate and foreign immigra-
tion than most persons are aware Of.
Texas, as is we'll known, has been and
still is a favorite field for immigration,
and the census indicates that, from
| this and from natural causes, the gain
10 population during the past ten
| years, has been somewhere about nine
ty per cent. There has also been a
considerable immigration to some parts
of Tennessee, and particularly to the
eastern counties, where colonies have
been established for dairy and stock
raising purposes, and where companies
have been formed within easy reach OF
the railroads to. develop its mineral
resources. So far as heard from
the estimated increase of population
ranges, according to localities, from
three to one hundred and three pei
cent. In Alabama, in like manner
associations of capitalists from Other
States have added to its growth IL

ful strength, can yet make its way
through them. There is plenty
of time; the tide will not turn for
haitian hour.
Ephraim fights his battle with
temptation and wins the victory ;
for, twenty minutes later the stur-
dy boat plows it's way back to the
shore, and two silent men strug.
gled against the wind up the
beach to the fsherman's hut.
Dorothy is waiting for them. Her
outstretched arms would wind
! themselves about both, but the
stern, fixed look in Ephraim's 8 eyes
restrained her, and Charles turns
from her and fixes his eyes upon
the ground.
;; II is d terrible moment for Dor
othy. She knows they both love
her, and she 'shi7ers at the suffer
ing in both faces. '... "
Then she remem bers the oath
she did not speak, and wild sort
of terror takes possession of her
soul. She speaks at last, and tries
to thank Ephraim for the service
he had done them.
Spare me thy gratitude, Dor
othy,' he commands, in slow,
solemn tone, peculiar to his people.
4 know I have done thee service.
1 would not hear Of it again. 1
tried to make thee swear an oath.
Dorothy, I am glad it was not spo-
ken. Tell me now, though, dost
thou love this young man? Wilt
thou forswear thy religion, forsake
the faith of thy forefatber's and
become one the worlds peopie?'
Dorothy's eyes looked toward
Charles with mute appeal.
He has saved both our lives,
DEAR answers the young man, in
reply to her glance, 'apd he's wor-
thy of your love- Then his eyes
seek the floor again. He has re-
ceived his life from this mans
hands, and now be will speak no
word to rob him Of his treasure.
Speak, Dorothy Ephraim re-
peats. 1t is for you to choose
Dorothy's voice is choked with
tears and her breast shaken with
sobs, as she answers:
1t is very, very wicked Of me,
Ephraim, but love him so!'
Then she stretched out her
helpless hands, and the sweet lips
whisper, Charles

THAT DECElVING HAM,
MOCK.

I've been q tool!' growled Harp
er yesterday as he united a parcel
in his front yard and shook out q
new hammock. Here I've been
looping around all through this
Internal hot spell when might
just as we'll have been swinging in
3 hammock and had my blistered
back cooled off by the breezes.'
Any one can put up hammock.
All you've got to Go is to unite
about 500 knots, unravel about
500 snarls, and work over the
thing until you can tell whether
the open side was meant to 60 up
or down. This puzzled Harper
for full twenty minutes, but he
finally got it right and fastened
the ends to two convenient trees.
Then he took off his ha. and
coat and rolled in with . great
sigh Of relief. No, be didn't quite
roll in. He was all ready to when
the hammock walked away from
him, and he rolled over on the
grass and came to a stop with a
croquet ball under the small fhis
back.
Did you mean to do that p call
ed a boy who was looking over
the fence and slowly chewing
away on green apples.
. did II, Of course did! Git
down off'n that fence or III call o
poiiceman1'
The boy slid down and Harper
brought up a lawn chair for the
next move. It's the easiest thing
IN the world to drop off a chair
into a hammock. Lots Of men
would be willing to do it on sal
ary of ten dollars per week. The
trouble with Harper was that be
didn't drop all his body at once.
'fhe upper half got into the ham
mock all right, but the lower half
kicked and thrashed around on
the grass until the small boy,
who didn't mean to leave the neig.
borhood until the show was out,
felt called upon to exelaim:
You can't turn a handspring
witt your head all wound up in
that ere net, and I'll bet money
on it,
Harper suddenly rested from his
labors to rise up and shake his fist
at,the young william, bat that didn' t
help the case a bit. He hadn',
got into that hammock yet. He
carefully looked the case over, and
decided that he had his plans toe
high. He therefore lowered the net
to within two feet of the ground
and be had it dead sure.Ty He fell
