NO NORTH, NO SOUTH.

One of the remarkable things in
the Presidents message as the alb
sence of any allusion to the South
EN- question" It is the first paper
of its kind for many years, in which
questions growing out Of the war
have not been discussed. The Presi
dent does not mean, perhaps. that
such questions are settled, but that
the people of the South can be relied
upon to settle them themselves. He
means that there is nothing in the
South which requires legislation not
required by the whole country. It
is gratifying to know that we have
reached that point in our national
history. 1t was natural to expect
that after the stormy scenes which
attended the rebellion, that bick-
erings and strife would fol-
low, and it was too much to expect
that the States lately in rebellion
would resume their places in the
Union without friction. There has

WINTER EVENINGS.


BY winter evenings L mean from supper
till bed time, and how are. the people in
city and country spending these three or
four hours every night? What valuable
seasons for study and reading, for mental
culture and improvement, becoming ac-
quainted with matters of history, and sci
ence and literature What capital of
knowledge might be laid up by young and
old, if only the worth of these admirable
long winter nights could be rightly appreci-
ated It is the only season many persons
have for any reading whatever. During
the day care and responsibility absorb the
time and thought of mothers and fathers,
and our young men are busy in their stores
and clerkships; night comes on-business
shuts down, home cares rest, and then at
least couple of hours should be devoted to
the increase of ones intellectual stores.
1t is amazing how much knowledge may
be acquired during the evening hours of a

been more friction than there should
have been, owing to the ambition and
obstinacy of the politicians, but after
all, those who in the future read the
history Of the country during these
twenty years, will probable be sur
prised that we passed through the
war and recovered from its dire effects
with SO little of discord and strife,
But President Arthur evidently
thinks that is all over, or that the
scars are SO nearly healed, that no
further extraordinary attention is
necessary. Why not? Why should
our common country be considered
as two separate sections9 Our in
terests are the same and we have a
common destiny. We at the South
ought to rejoice over the prosperity
of the North, and the people of the
North ought to wish for the prosper
ity of the South. The wealth of
Massachusetts is no disadvantage to
South Carolina, and if South Car
DINA grows rich, Massachusetts loses
nothing by it. There is absolutely
no clashiDg of interests, such as
should inspire jealously and antag~
onisin between the people of the
North and their brethren of the
| South.
No intelligent patriot, North or
South believes that there is such a
difference of interests as to Justify
the war of sections which has been
going on with more OF less bitterness
for half a century. It is time that
it was dropped and these
sectional lines were wiped out The
President in his message has set q
good example. Let the terms
North y and South be eliminat-
ed from our political vocabulary for
ever. A friendly rivalry is not i'm
proper and may be expected, but we
trust the day has passed by, never
to return, when we are ready to take
each other by the Threats as deadly
enemies, for no other reason than
that some of us were born south OF
the Ohio River, while others were
born north of that line. Such a
spirit is not American; is unpatriot-
ic, and is contrary to the plain teach
ings Of common sense.

PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY

On the eve Of the meeting Of the
executive committee of the low tax
wing of Tennessee Democracy, the
Nashville World, the central organ Of
that wing, comes to the front with
long editorial on progressive De-
mocracy." The inference is that it
was inspired by that meeting. And
in view of the course of the World,
it is no violent presumption to sup
pose that it classed that wing of Ten
nessee Democracy as the "progres-
sive Democracy" And the point in
it's editorial is, that the salvation of
the party depends upon compro~
mise between the different elements
of the party. The compromise the
World advocates is the settlement of
the State debt on the basis of the
50-4 proposition. Hence, by "pro-
gressive Democracy" the World
means q Democracy that will COM
promise ON the most important ques-
ton before the people of Tennessee.
It is this infamous policy of COM
promising between right and wrong,
between principal and policy, between
honesty and dishonesty, that has
brought us to what we are now. In
1869, there was a strong regulating
element in the party in power. In
1873, majority of the party in power
expressed willingness to settle the
debt. Its validity was recog nized
and it was funded at six per cent
the entire debt. The next Legisla-
ture repealed this act, and made no
provision whatever for settling the
debt, which went on growing in vol
ume by the accumulation Of unpaid
interest.
Then Governor Marks was elected
On q compromise platform, Of which
every thoughtful Democrat in the
State was ashamed. And many of
them will acknowledge now that they
ought to have been kicked" as we
heard one of them express it, for ever
supporting Marks on that miserable
tumble of words, put together for
no other purpose than to confuse
ideas. Then came the 50-4 PROPOSE
ton as compromise, which was voted
down by an overwhelming majority.
And now the same class of small
politicians who have compromised
and compromised for dozen years
are on hands again, whining for a
compromise and calling themselves
the progressive Democracy"
They progress like the craw-tish
Northumberland if they so for
ward at all, they are progressive in
the sense that Lucifer was a pro
gressive angel. Progress in the d.
rection that these patriots would
lead Tennessee would be q steady
move in the direction Wards ducks
travelled. just imagine, progressive
party led by Savage, Marks, Wilson
Beasley, Emmett Thompson and theil
associates. Ye godsI what a con
ception!

Farmers Should Be Legislators.

It is one of the anomalous ccndi-
tions OF our political organism, that q
population composed mainly of far
mers, mechanics, merchants and
manufacturers should, as rule, be
represented in all it's legislative bod
les, including Congress, by lawyers.
The fact that it is go represented 10
patent, and it is certainly tipoe that q
change in the custom which occasions
it should occur. That those who live
by litigation should be privileged to
make the laws whose breach, annll-
ment or misconstruction supplies
them with the means OF subsistence;
is about as crude an example of mis-
managed public policy as can we'll be
conceived. That those whose interest
it is that the laws should be broken
should be chosen to frame them,
might occur among a people in q
state OF anarchy. Yet the nineteenth
century sees the leading republic of
the world no farther advanced than
this in prscucsl self government. The
situation ia much the same in Eng.
land, but not to the same extent.
There, representative of old county
families. and gentlemen expressly
educated for parliamentary career.
are term after term elected, and 1t is
well-knoWn fact that come Of toe
strongest members OF the House OF
Commons are sgriculturists. But it is
remarkable that Spain is the ooiy
country where the rule to represent
J all public interests in the national
legislature prevails. The COrtes, or
legislative body of Spain is com pose +,
like our own, of a Senate and House
of Representatives. In the election
OF members OF the lower house it hss
been customary. from time imnemo-
rial, to represent the different trades
aud industries by eleoting from them
as members persons who have been
absolutely engaged in their practical
pursuit. Spain was once supreme
among nations; there, labor throve
under benign influences. and the loI
of mankind was perhaps as pleasant
and prosperous as in any land whose
history is known to us. As It would
appear to be the law Of races and
nations that these rise, decline anC
fall, in their own good time, without
exception the condition OF Spain dur
ing the past century is 10 eVi
dence against the peculiar system t
which We have referred. = The JOurna

MAYS CELESTIAL PHENOMENA.-The
great feature of the month, says the as
tronomer of the Providence Journal, is
the marvellous planetary combination
that distinguishes its passage. No such
marshaling of planetary orbs has occur
red for centuries in the past nor will be
witnessed for centuries to come. Five
of the eight planets form an almost line
with the sun and earth. Starting from
the earth on the Sd, our brilliant neigh
Dor, Venus heads the grand array. The
glorious sun comes next in view, while
Mercury on his western side is speed
ing with rapid steps to join the ranks.
The orbs of Jupiter and Saturn, little
out of plumb, fill the ranks slightly to
the west, and Neptune closes the show
only one days travel eastward of the
line. These huge denizens of space span
the inconceiyable distance of nearly
twenty-eight hundred million miles,
stretching from the earth to the systems
remotest bounds. Venus, Jupiter, Sa-
turn, Neptune and Mercury clustering in
lhe sign Taurus at the same time is
phenomenon to be remembered for
lifetime.

Insects on Fruit Trees.

All persons who have an orchard
should go over it carefully now, cutting
all twigs off which have the eggs of the
tent-caterpiiar deposited on them. They
can now be detected by careful observa-
tion, and for the benefit of those who do
not know them, we will give a slight de-
scription of them: They are of a dark
gray color. almost brown, resembling
the bark of the tree, and form a ring.
generally about half an inch long, which
completely circles the twig on which
they are deposited, and as the warm
weather approaches this grows some
what larger. All old trees which have
loose bark would be benefited by scrap,
ing the body and larger limbs with a
hoe, being careful not to injure the
lower bark, after which they should be
washed with lye or diluted soft soap.
Young trees which have smooth bark
do not need scraping, but the, washing
would do, them good. If you desire
heavy crops of fruit, you must keep the
land rich on which the trees are planted.
They produce better, and are less liable
to disease.
The winter has been one remarkably
adapted to the welfare of insect life,
and it will not be strange if our common
insect pets should be more than usually
abundant during the coming summer
The open winter of a year ago, with its
frequent thawing and freezing, seemed
to have a marked influence on the
abundance of insects, as last summer
was particularly noticeable for their

The Gates of Jerusalem.

Speaking of the gates of Jerusalem, a
correspondent of the Baltimore Ameri-
can says: Tradition mentions several
that are not now to be found, such as
the Old Gate. Ephraim's Gate, the VAL
ley Gate, the Prison Gate, the Fish Gate
and others. AT present there are but
four that can be opened, although four
others are distinctly seen walled up.
The gates now open are those of Jaffa'
of Damascus, of st. Stephen, and of Da-
vid-one in each of. tile four walls. The
Jaffa Gate is northwest of Mount Zion,
and is the usual entrance for pilgrims
from Christian lands. 1t is composed
of tall towers or buttresses, evidently
of great strength, and easily defended
against ancient modes of warfare. The
gates proper consist of two large fold
ing doors, in one of which is a wicket
called "The Needles Eye" which is just
large enough to admit a camel. without
any load on its back, whence, come, l
suppose, the scripturaf adage about the
difficulty of q camel going through the
eye of needle. l asked what signif-
canoe the natives attached to this, and
was gravely told that, inasmuch as a
camel cannot possibly pass through it
while carrying any portion of load,
similarly a rich man cannot pass through
the wicket of the heavenly Jerusalem
until he has entirely unloaded himself
of his riches and his other earthly bur-
dens.
The three other gates are of similar
construction, with strong turrets. But
they are all wonderfully striking to the
eye, in their quaint and now useless
ponderousness, albeit conveying pro-
found impression of the ancient strength
of the city, and of the difficulty of its
capture by Moslem or Crusader. Now
adays one or two of our big guns would
effect breach in few minutes.

Packing Furs and FIanneIs.

Now is the time-says a correspond
ent of the Country Gentleman-to clean
all furs and robes, and to pack them
away safely for summer. The sooner it
is done the better, before the moth can
get chance to get at them. Furs
need thorough brushing, so as to get
out all the dust; and robes can be beaten
well with whip. All rips should be
sewed, in readiness for next winter
Then, when well cleaned, sprinkle to-
bacco over the fur sides, and fold them
together and roll up tightly and tie
with cord. Gloves, caps. collars and
furs, after cleaning, may be sprinkled
with tobacco, rolled up and put into a
linen or paper bag. A tight wooden
chest is the best thing to keep them in.
After packing closely, cover the top with
newspapers or cloth, and drop a few
drops of spirits of turpentine over it.
Shut the cover tight. and you need have
no fears for their safety, till next fall,
when they will require good shaking
and airing, and look as good as new.
! / have tried camphor gum, cedar,
strong herbs, like spearmint and penny
royal, and find nothing so perfectly re-
liable as tobacco for keeping out moths.
Spirits of turpentine retains it odor for
a long time, and is excellent to. put into
drawers and closets to keep off flies and
moths 3but think, for furs and flannels,
tobacco is the surest. Mittens, nubias,
underwear and hose need to be washed
well, mended and packed away till mead
ed. Blankets, too, must be cleaned be-
fore laying away. A lady friend, who
is very particular, says she smokes
blankets and underwear with burning
sulphur, and it not only whitens them
but effectually prevents their being in
jured by moth or flies. 1t is very much
nicer to have all such things packed in
safety than it is to have them lying
around in the way and get ruined by ne
glect; and it Is comforting thought that
they win be ready for next winter.
