The American Future.

There seems to bc no doubt as To the
mOmentous and pregnant fact that the
blacks are increasing faster than the
whites in the United States. When
emancipation first sent the blacks adrift,
helpless and thriitlcss. there was great
mortality among them. and predictions
were freely hazardcd that the social
and political problem which pcrplcXed
statesmen would he solved by the
gradual extinction of the negro race.
The problem. on the contrary, now
seems likely to present itself on a larry
er scale than ever. There are those
who fancy that education will turn the
negro white but generations, proba-
bly, must clapSc before the low intel
lect can be brought up Ia the Anglo
American level. You may teach him
his letters at school, but you cannot
force him Ia keep up any mental cul-
ture afterward. If supreme power
were in his hands. he would make the
South u Hayti. The whites will, of
course. struggle against his political
ascendency they will prevail, mt all
events, 50 long as they retain anything
like an equality of numbers and the
result apparently will bc the perpetu-
alton with ever-increasing sharpness of
a mastery of race, anti-republlcan IN
all its tendencies. which can hardly
fail to faint the life blood of the rcpub-
lie Fusion of the races 10y inter
marriage is impossible, and without 1t
there can he no political or social union (;
there can only Ice the asccndency
of one race over the other. With Il
black population superior in numbers
and white ascendency the South would
be magniiied counterpart of the West
Indies, an unwholesome element in the
composition of a republic. We are
told, and can readily believe, that the
relations between the races, like affairs
generally at the South, have greatly

Seeding 10 Grass.

Before sowing grass seed the farmer
should make certain of having Il good
seed bed. More mistakes are made
concerning preparation of land for
grass than for any other crop. 1t is no
uncommon thing to see farmer sim
ply running over Il plot, where pOta
toes were grown the previous year,
with a cultivator, then following with
a harrow. We have seen extreme
eases where even the narrowing was
omitted, the seed sown Immediately af-
ter the cultivator, then simply bushing
III the seed, leaving it to make its way
as best it can. Others will use one
horse pillow to turn under the corn butts,
getting in the seed with as little labor
as possible. In our experience the best
practice is to pillow good deep furrow,
followed by a thorough narrowing. and
after sowing to bush the seed in and
use the roller faithfully. When timO-
thy and rcdtop are Sown it is best to
use a bushel of rcdtop, peek or clev-
en- pounds of timothy, also adding six
pounds of red clover. which amounts to
very liberal seeding and should yield
Il fair crop of hay about the first of Sep

Hon. Edward Carsweu,s Lecture

Hon. Edward CarsWelps Lecture.
As announced in our columns yesterday,
Hon. Edward Carswell, the distinguished
temperance advocate and lecturer, delivered
his first lecture to a respectable audience, at
Mozart Hall, last evening. The inclemency
Of the weather interfered somewhat with
the size of the audience, but those who had
the good fortune to be present were more
than repaid by the enjoyment, not only
of a rare intellectual repast, served
up in most charming style, both
in the novelty of the manner and
In the excellence of the matter which made
up the discourse. The distinguished lee
turer has the rare talent of interesting at
the start, and. by apt illustration, both
grave and gay, OF giving freshness
and interest to the somewhat worn
subject of temperance. His powers
of word picturing are great, and the
defines with which his pictures are color
ed shows his nice appreciation of the means
Of reaching and interesting his hearers.
The talk, rather than lecture, last night,
was sparkling, powerful, convincing and
convicting. His tritest illustrations had
the strength and force of clear logic, and
his pictures of the evils of intemperance
came with overwhelming strength as argu-
ments In favor of temperance reform.
He will speak again this evening at Mo-
Fart Hall at O'Clock, and we are certain
that an hour spent in listening to him will
be time well spent.
The musical part of the programme will
be under the direction of Mr.. Bates. 1t is
desirable that all the temperance friends in
the city should make an effort to be present,
and they are cordially invited. The ladies,
particularly, are requested to grace the
meetings with their presence, and the Com
mittee of Arrangements would be glad to
welcome the public generally to the re-
naming lectures OF Mr.. Carswell.
