ADVICE TO THE SOUTH.

Our southern brethren have re-
Gently made, considering their ante
cedents, rapid and large strides to-
wards developing the resources Of
their country by erecting cotton mills
and other expensive works, that We
are glad to say generally prove re-
munerative. There remains, howey-
or, field that they have overlooked
to which we call theig attention. We
mean minor manufacturing indus
tries. 1t would pay southern men,
with the interests Of their section at
heart, to make excursions into the
back country of the New England
states and the north generally. They
would find on every available water
fall a factory, small or large, goner-
ally small, turning out everything
conceivable, from a match box to a
piano. These minor industries are
of great importance, and without be-
ing prepared to go into figures we
think that given sum OF money
thus invested would do moro good by
giving employment to greater
number Of people than an equal
amount put into, say, cotton factory.
We are acquainted with o thriving
village in northern New York that
was formerly devoted to manu-
featuring lumber. As the forests
diminished in extent the inhabitants
looked for other sources Of employ
meut. A young man started shirt
factory in a small and unpretending
way, employing abOuta dozen girls.
In very few years this little indus
try expanded, until now 100000
are paid out annually in wages. Then
paper pulp was made from wood,
and mouse trap factory is in sue
cesstul operation. In this same vii
lage wagon spoke factory is do
ing well, the proprietor getting his
white oak at n cost of Sl5 q cord.
We sent to him some samples of this
timber from Virginia, that were
manufactured into spokes, and pro-
nounced equal to the best.
1t is difficult to raise $l0O, 900, but
the capital required for ore of these
small factories can be easily obtain
ed. One success leads to another,
and the habits ofmanufacturing once
acquired will always find some want
unsupplied, some improvement to be
made.-N. Y. Indicator:

THE DEBT QUESTION.

We learn from the Little Rock
papers that the state democratic
central committee has agreed to re-
commend the following as the bass
of settlement of the state debt
question:
That the policy Of an amendment
10 our present constitution be sub
mitted To our party and the people,
TO be considered in the canvass pend
ing the next general election, which
shall embody the following propo-
sitiOns:
1st. Hereafter the general assem-
bly, of tins state shall be prohibited
from making any settlement or ad-
justment Of the bonded debt of this
state, based on what is known aS
the railroad aid, lcvco or UoItord
bonds, which shall be binding upon
the state, until such adjustment shall
Aave been submitted to and voted
Rpon by the qualified electors OF this
state at the next succeeding general
election after such act of adjustment
has been passed, and the same shall
have been ratified by majority OF
all the qualified electors voting at
such election.
ID. That no act of the general
assembly Of this state, which may
be hereafter passed, making an ap-
preparation to pay off any part OF
the principal or interest Of any of
the bonded Indebtedness Of this state
based upon what is known as rail-
road aid bonds, Ievee bonds or Hot
ford bonds, shall be binding on the
state or paid from the treasury until
such act shalt have been submitted
at the next succeeding general eIec.
ton after such act of appropriation
has been passed, to the people, and
the same shall have been ratified by
a majority Of the qualified electors
voting at such election, and they
further recommend that no action on
said Indebtedness be taken by the
general assembly until such amend
ment shall have been submitted TO
vote OF the people.

DON'T JUDGE.

Don't Judge man by the cloths
he wears, for God made one and the
tailor the other.
Don't Judge him by his family con-
nections, for Cain belonged to a very
good family.
Don't judge him by his speech, for
the parrot talks, and the TONGUE is
but an Instrument of sound.
Don't Judge man by the house
he lives in. for the iZarA! an. &. - s,fij rat
often inhabit the grandcst structures
Don't judge him by his activity in
church, for that is not unfrequently
inspired by hypocritical and selfish
motives.
Don't judge INN by his like of
display, for the long -eared beast is
the humblest Of animals, bat when
aroused is terrible to behold.
Don't take it for granted because
