A POPULAR demand has been dis.
covered at Nashville for a settlement
of the state debt at so and 4. We
will agree to that, provided coupons
are not made receivable for taxes. 1t
is enough, and more than the PEOPLE
equitably owe. Even this will re-
quire at least three times the present
rate of taxation. Men who vote to
raise taxes must do SO from a stern
sense of duty. and not as a stepping
stone TO congress or any high position.
The blessings to follow a settlement Of
the debt will not be realized by the
present generation. and the men who
are actively connected with fastening
amillstone about the necks Of the peo-
pie will not be escorted to the realms of
private life with brass bands and
mounted professions, such as swarmed
over the state last fall.

Rules of Health.

Never stand in the rain cistern all

spells rain water for washing purposes.
Never spank your children with a
hand-saw, or box their ears with a
sharp edge of a Ratchet, rs it is apt to
effect the brain.
D4lore than three pigs feet and half
a ml1ce-ple eaten at midnight will
not generally cause the consumer to
dream Of hours, paradise, accommo-
dating bankers, and other gold things:
at least they are not apt to do so.
To enlarge the muscles of the arms
and legs, climbing up and down the
chimney Especially If the house is a
four stored one) three or four times
before breakfast is a cheap exercise,
and gives a %VoraciOus appetite.
Earache in children Is a common
and yexatious complaint. To cure it
at once, bore a hole in the tympanum
With a gimlet and pour in oil and
things. " the child keeps on crying,
bore it all the way to the other ear..
Corns may be easily cured. The
most torturing corns can at once be
extirpated as follows: Take a sharp
knife, and find the Joint of the toe
whereupon the corn resides; insert the
knife in the articulation, cut off the
toe and throw it away. 1t will never
return again, unless your dog brings il

The habit Of drinking can be cured
by giving the drinkers all the liouor
they want to drink all the time. We
know Of two in our own experience
who were cured in three weeks. One
jumped out Of a fourth story window
and ran a curbstone into his head.
The other didn't get up one morning.
and has now a curbstoDe growing over
his head in the graveyard.

Governor Foster may be postmaster
general, though both of the lastnames
are uncertain. Neither Emory Storrs,
Chauncey Filley, Dorsey, Edwards,
Pierrepont, nor Routt, of Colorado,
will be in the cabinet. Grant and
Conkling have determined to become
unfriendly. Garfield says this may be
because they foresee that he will be a
candidate again in l884,and they want
to prevent it. When the cabinet
names are sent to the senate to be con-
frmed, you viii discover they are such
that neither General Grant nor Conk-
ling can JUSTLY offended at Garfeld's
selection, and if they do take offense
they are likely to set themselves against
the opinion of the party, and it
will be worse for them. AS to 1884,
Garfeld's friends believe it will take
care of Itself, and they are not scared
at the threats of Grant running as an
independent or democratic candidate.
If the republican convention in 1884
should nominate Grant or Conkling,
he would have the cordial and loyal
support Of Garfield, but it is too early
to talk intelligently about such
changes, and General Grant would do
wisely to tell some of his over jealous
hangers on not to shoot off their
mouths so freely. That is the senti-
ment ofthe Garfield people in these
parts.

statement

The total number oEblacks in these
states was 4.242,003 in 1870, and g.
643,891 in 1880. This shows during
these ten years the enormous increase
Of l,4Ol,888, or more than thirty three
per cent. During the preceding de-
cade the colored population of this
group Of states increased only 223, GA,
or about FIVE and a halfpcr cent. The
total was 4,018,389 in 1860, and 4,242,-
COB in'l870. There is no doubt that
the war put a very decided check on
the multiplication of these people.
Their increase would naturally be
very much greater during the past
than the preceding decade. But the
war alone will hardly account for the
extraordinary difference in the rate of
increase that is above shown by a
comparison Of the two periods. Doubt.
less the actual difference is materially
less than that shown by the above
comparison, and the explanation is to
be found in the fact that the census of
1870 was very defective in the south
ern states. The actual was greater
than the enumerated population, and
this fact makes the increase Of the
preceding decade appear less and that
Of the following greater than it really
was.
Going back beyond the war we find
that the colored population in the
group Of states under consideration
increased from 2,688,736 in 1910 to
I3.379j934 in 1850 and 4,018,389 in 1860.
This was at the rate of twenty-five
per cent during the former decade aud
nineteen per cent during the latter, an
average Of twenty-five per cent for the
last twenty years Of slavery. Com
pairing this with the thirty. three per
cent of the past decade the rate of
increase is shown to be very much
greater in freedom and peace than it
was in slavery and peace.
The white population of the states
above named has increased from 8,813,
3T in 1870 to II, 259,7 l3 in 1880, or
less than twenty.eight per cent. None
Of this increase is due to immigration.
In fact, the number of foreigners in
these states is more than sixteen
thousand less than it was in 1870.
Hence during the past ten years the
colored population in the south has
increased at a considerable greater
rate than the white.

THE South African Dutch, known
as Beers, seem to be more than a
match, man to man, for the English
soldiers sent after them. They arc
well armed and fight skillfully and
bravely. They lack neither tact nor
courage. Having long COPIED success
fully with the warlike tribes of Africa
which swarmed around them in supe-
rior numbers, they feel able to face
the armies Of the most formidable
power on earth. The merits of this
war are hard to understand at this
distance, if there are any merits
going, but we can see that the British
government has nc easy task in reduc.
ing the Dutch states Of South Africa
Our information comes mostly thFoapl
English sources, but we can see tina.
the Beers are more than holding theiI
own against the forces thus far sent t.
punish them. Between Irish. Abys
sinian and BOer troubles, England ha.
her hands full.
