Our National Disgrace.

The President very truly saws in his
message that the census returns sbow
an alarming state Ofilliteracv in certain
parts OF the country. The part of tho
country to which this remark is mos,
applicable is the South, in all of the
southern States the per cent of the
population 10 years old and inward
unable to write is extraordinarily birb
amounting in several of them TO nearly
half and in Alabama and Soutb Corol;
ma 10 more than half of the persons of
that age. Among the blacks the nro.
portions unable to write is s;n,n,,,
astounding. 1t ranges from 20 ner
cent. in Florida to 500 in Alabama
Al least three-fourth of the negroes N
years old and over in all the Southern
states taken together are illiterate
Inc percentage of illiteracv among the
whites in that part of the country is
low compared with that of the blacks
out compared with the percentage of
illlteracy among the Northern whites
II Is remarkably high. Thus in such
States as New York, Massachusetts
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and
Illinois the proportion of whites unable
10 write ranges from five to seven ner
cent while in the Southern States II
reaches from 10 to 25 per cent. In

The Dupont Family.

Inc Government having agreed to
pay $4,000 for the base of a statue nj
Admiral Dupont, to be erected in the
square opposite Mr.. Blaine's house and
castle Stewart, it is incumbent on tbe
admirers of the Admiral to collect the
money to pay for the statue itself and
MIR. Bayard of Wilmington has the
matter In charge. The Dupont family
mas a much better origin in France
than many more vaunted American
families. NJ. Theirs SAYS in the first
chapter Of his History of the French
revolutions" "The opposition was
secretly directed by Dupont, a Young
man gifted with capacious mind and
possessed of great firmness and perse-
Vefance. who alone perhaps amidst the
present troubles had future in view
ana designed to lead his class. the
Court and the Nation to an end very
different from parliamentary aristoc.
racy." This was just before the calling
OF the National Assembly. AS the
revolution progressed the sons of this
dupont became alarmed, and started 70
the United States to engage in the
manufacture of gunpowder, in which
they had much skill.
Tney bought tract of land between
the Brandywine Creek and the Della
ware River in the vicinity of the risino
town of Wilmington, and when thew
were well established their fathercame
out and lived with them some wears or
from 1875 to 1902, when he returned to
france and took position in the Gov
ernment, but finding that Napoleon
mad again landed in the kingdom he |
resolved never to live in his native |
country again and came over to Dela-
ware, and there died about 1877. at the
age of seventy-nine. This Dupont was
called DE Nemours to distinguish him
from Dupont de Leure. He was an ms.
slstant OF Turgot, the great conserva-
i've genius of France, in craftsmanship.
and 1t Is said drew the draft of the
treaty by which England recognized
the independence of America.
The Duponts, generally maintaining
superior social selfesteem to their
plain Quaker manufacturing neigh.
Oors, have yet made marriages among
the respectable people of Delaware,
and have now and then contributed a
scion to the Army and Navy. They
have generally been Wings or Republi-
tans, and after John NJ. Clayton left

able paper, gives the following recipe
as a sure cure for corns. As the rem
edy is very simple, if any of our read
ers are afflicted with corns it would
probably be well for them to give it a
trial: Take one-fourth cup of strong
vinegar, crumb finely into it some
bread. Let stand half an hour. or until
it softens into a good poultice. Then
apply, on retiring at night. In the
morning the soreness will be gone,
and the corn can be picked out. If
the corn is very obstinate, it may re-
quire two or more application to effect
a cure"
