SOUTHERN INDUSTRY.

The two cotton mills at Natchez,
Miss, afford another example Of how
profitable cotton manufacturing in
the South is when judiciously con-
Quoted. Both are doing good bus
mess, and one of them is 80 crowded
With orders that it is compelled to
suspend operations while enlarging
its capacity and setting up improved
machinery. These improvements
rore than double its capacity-a
sure sign that it is doing we'll.
While the people of the South
have all along claimed that, for man
ifest reasons, the m anufsc!ure OF
cotton yarns and the coarser kinds
Of cloth can be carried on more
cheaply, and, therefore more proflta.
bly,, in the South than in the North,
and while the results of the we'll
managed mills in Georgia and South
Carolina strongly support their
claim, they have pleaded the lack Of
capital as their excuse for having so
few manufactures in their section.
But it is gratifying to know that
they are learning that capital is
made by labor, and that an indus.
trtous people can make capital as
we'll as import it. A small mill, ii
economically managed, will manu-.
facture capital as we'll as cotton, and
thus grow into a large oue-precise-
ly as in the case of the Natchez fac
tory, which made money enough to
double its capacity. All the mills
in South Carolina and Georgia are
accommodating capital every year, and
many of them are turning it to the
very best account by investing it in
additions, engagements and i'm.
proved machinery. There is no lack
Of labor In the South. There is a
great deal of labor in that section
which has hitherto been idle, be-
cause work was not considered alto
gether respectable. The delusion is
beginning to yield to q more en-
lightened opinion, and when it shall
have vanished entirely, and all the
whites at the South engaged in va.
rious kinds Of productive employ.
meut, then every water power dis-
trict will hum with industry, and
the South will exhibit a marvellous
prosperity.-[St. Louis Republican.

DON'T STAY LATE TONIGHT.

DON'T STAY LATE TONIGHT
The hearth of home is beaming
With rays of rosy light;
And lovely eyes are cleaning,
As falls the shades of night;
And while thy steps are leaving
The circles pure and bright,
A tender voice half grieving ..
Says Don't stay late tonight
The world 10 which thou movest
Is busy, brave and wide;
The world of her thou lowest
Is at the ingle side.
She waits for thy warm greeting,
Thy smile is her delight;
Her gentle voice entreating,
Says Don't stay late tonight"
The world, go cold, inhuman.
Will spurn thee if thou fall;
The love of one poor woman
Outiasts and shames them all;
Thy children will cling round thee,
Let fate be dark or bright; 49,
At home no shaft will wound thee,
Then, Don't stay late tonight

lie Wanted Squills.
{ConAtry viaiser.l

On the last trip OF tho Natchez, a
young couple, who probably had
been married by Judge Hyams, of
West Baton Rouge, visited the city
for the purpose Of seeing the Sights" "
While strolling through the streets,
they thought they would indulge in
the luxury Of q glass of soda. En-
tering q drug store in the vicinity of
the French. Market, they made
known THAR wants.
What kind Of syrup" asked the
man Of pills.
"Wel, I guess I'll take some Of
the syrup Of squills," the young man
answered.
ave do not use that kind" the
clerk said.
Il know you don't, because it's
costly. I will have the syrup of
squills.'
The druggist demonstrated, but
to no purpose. His customer
would have squills, remarking "All
the other syrups is made Of sugar,
lemon drops, sasspariller, and sich
things to h,lnbug folks"
The squills we're produced, and
our hero was requested to pour out
for himself, he did so, taking boun-
tiful quantity in order to get his
moneys worth.
The heroine being asked how she
would prefer hers, raised herself to
the supposed dignity Of city belle
and replied
| Reckon as how, I'll try mino
without any squills Or any sweet
ming"
Her wish was complied with, for
the druggist was nonplussed at the
independence of the apparently
happy pair. They touched their
glasses, drank and sat down as they
remarked, "to let it settle" In
passing their own opinions on the
drinks, they gave anything but a
favorable decision. In few mo-
ments our hero began to experience
, O new internal sensation. "Jerusa-

4 NOVEL FoRM OF DIVORCE.

A NOVEL Form OF DIvoRCE.-
Near the town of Lafayette, in this
State, lived some years ago couple
who had got tired Of the jars and
troubles of welded life, and mutually
resolved to end them. But being
rather short of this worlds goods,
they hardly felt like paying out the
money necessary for divorce. So
they went to the Squire, living in
the town, who had joined them in
the bonds Of matrimony and desired
him to unite the knot. The Squire,
a wag par excellence. told them there
was no way but to go to Court.
But hold," says he, Il have it.
You promised to live together and
he true to each other until death
shall separate you. Come out in
the yard" Then, seizing cat, he
directed the man to take hold OF its
| tail and the woman its head, and
to pull on each extremity. Their
lifting a sharp a1e he said solemnly
"Now death separates you"

4 Remarkable Discovery.
(IIoas,on Telegram, Jan. IL

If the evidence received by the
Telegram will, upon subsequent i'll
vestigation, prove authentic, Bra
zoria county is destined to become
an important field for historical re-
search, as far as q portion Of her
population is concerned. Ina con-
versation held by 4 representative
of the Telegram with q gentleman
from Brazoria, casual allusion was
made by the latter to the fact OF
large number of the negroes of that
county being virtually Of the Jewish
faith, that they have the Abrahamic
rite performed on their body, and
that they observe the seventh day
as the day Of cessation from labor.
We give the facts to our readers,
but we consider the information Of
sufficient Importance to subject it to
the closest scrutiny. The fact OF
there being millions of black Jews
in existence is nothing new, but we
will, if q number of them prove to
be domiciled in Brazoria, hsve to
trace the process by which they
came from Africa to Texas. Our
informant claims that they wero
imported directly from the African
continent before tho war We doubt
the latter fact, for tho black Jews Of
Africa are settled in q country far
distant from the coast. However,
when We have concluded our inves-
tigation VIC will have more to say
about it. For the psosent we desire
to inform those of our readers not
acquainted with the facts, that about
the year 1866 a noted African trav-
eler, Joseph Halevy, discovered the
existence OF q nation in Abyssinia,
who in every respect conformed tc
tho Jewish religion, though they
stood otherwise i'll q long grade OF
civilization. The Falashas, as this
nation is called, are negroes, but
of lighter shade OF color than the
rest Of the African population, while
the facial angle approaches nearer
to that OF the Caucasian race than of
the sons of Ham. NJ. Halevv has
endeavored to establish that these
people are descendants of the lost
tribes, which theory necessitates
another one that the tide Of enigra-
ton of the lost tribes was westward
as we'll as eastward of Canaan,
Without denying the facts discovered
by Mr.. Halevy, archnologists are
not very friendly to his theory.
Neither can it be denied that IN
British and Dutch India millions OF
Malays and Hindoos are Jews, who
are den.oo,.;;is;;Inated the Bonai Israel
They have have several synagogues and
newspaper i'll Bombay, "h4cn il
their principal stronghold. Of late
years friendly relations have beer
established between them and tn
English Jews OF India, through tn.
Intervention of Sir Robert Lassoon
who is himself native Israelite o
Bombay. We are not certai,
whether we can establish the fact 0
the blacks of Brazoria county bein!
a portion OF the Falasha tribes O
Africa, but We intend to make tn
trial in the interest of history ant
! ffor the information OF our intereste'
, readers.
