Public sentiment has 80 far changed upon
the subject of the protection system that its
advocates no longer dare arrogantly claim
that they will secure Anct~-turif for reTs-
nue. with incidental protection, but tariff
for protection with incidental revenue"
That degree of insolence public sentiment
could not endure, and The impudent claims
of the monopolists have faded like the au-
tumn leaf. So strong has grown public
feeling on the point that session OF Con-
gress which has vigorously resisted attempts
made to induce it to modify some OF the
more Questionable parts of the tariff lind,
now the close or rne sessroH rs ut rru1.e' sA-.-
it dare not separate and face the people
without making a show, at least, OF reducing
unnecessary and oppressive taxation, Con-
gress1s, therefore, engaged in doing appar-
emily what they are careful to abstain from
in reality. They therefore do nothing that
will make cheaper to the community coats,
hats, boots and blankets, and the iron on the
railways, and the paper on which are
printed the peoples books and news
papers. They engage in wiping out taxes
in a way that will increase the profit
of the dealers in tobacco, of perfumes,
and of patent medicines. They take the tax |
off the stamps on the rich mans checks, |
while the farmer and the workingmen are |

sleeve at the skill with which it "throws
tub TO the whale" making a show of relief
to the people without touching the gains of
the monopolists; but if they think the peo-
pie will fail to see through their tricks they
are mistaken. They are only treasuring up
wrath against the day of wrath. Delay and
deceit will end in the reform of the tariff

gay, sat through the one hour and half
occupied in its delivery, and listened with
unaverted eyes ard with the deepest interest,
and often with the deepest emotion. Those
who had never seen a woman on the
rosrum before, though never questioning
her capacity for the highest achieve
ment in the domain of thought, can
scarcely think that woman, who is
the chief sufferer by the degradation of man
hood, is ont RI her sphere in pleading for its
exSltctiou. The lecturer, who has been well
and favorably known in this community from
her childhood, is now known 10 fame as the
pioneer in the South of doctrines touching
the progress OF her own sex, about which the
opinions of our people are not in accord.
Though people may dissent from some of her
doctrines, yet all must admire the courage, the
vigor and eloquence with which she has
maintained lhsm. In her own achievements,
she has certainly contributed much toward
the explosion of the moss-covered heresy Of
our fathers that women are not the equals Of
men in the possibilities of mental attain
ment. 1t seems to us that Sydney Smith
struck at the root of this controversy more
than fifty years ago when he said: "As long
as girls and boys run about in the dirt and
trundle hoops together, they are both pre-
cisely alike. If you catch up one-half Of
these creatures and train them to a particu-
lar line of actions and opinions and the
other half 10 totally opposite set of course
their understandings will differ as one or the
other sort of occupation has called this or
that talent into action" That is all of it.

VERY SMALL PRETEx It

The Democrats outside Of Tennessee have
no patience in discussing the RUSSELL boilers.
They regard the pretext forpursuing course
which may possibly result in the election OF
Hawkins as frivolous and untenable. The
Jackson (Miss.) Clarion says: 1.-THE pretext
for split is very small; only difference
of detail in the settlement of the State debt.
The regulars want it settled at fifty cents on
the dollar; the State-credit men at sixty
cents. 1t is Reputation take it either way"
The national Democracy is united in its con-
domination of the Tennessee boilers. 1t ID
not surprising that cause so weak, silly
and ridiculous has 80 few followers. The
Republican revolt in Pennsylvania amounts
to a revolution, because the boilers are
backed by the people, who are determined
to free themselves from "boss" rule. But the
bolt in Tennessee is led by the railroad bosses,
who are seriously concerned about eternal
pe-rin.ci-ples and State "'onah," when the
truth is, they are Influenced by the hope OF
placing the taxpaying people between the
railroads and the bondholders. But in this
contest the people will triumph. Their
cause is heroically and wisely championed
by General Bate.

mallet At Aleppo could not completely
satisfy myself on the subject, but have excel

was pursued there. In the capital itself the

extent shut off the sources of supply
and the general poverty of the Turks afford.

she entered the salesroom-a large, barely

mistress of the establishment conducted her
to a divan, and slaves instantly fetched
sweets and coffee No establishment was be-

on such scene. A number of white girls,
of ages varying from twelve to eighteen, were
then led up to her one after the other, each
in turn standing motionless before the
sofa till signed TO leave her position TO her
next fellow. They are described as for
the most part coarse, clumsy and heavy,
with cowed, sullen faces and muddy, yellow
compilations. Their dresses consisted of a
gauze cap and loose frock, with short
sleeves and reaching to the ankles, which
was fastened down The front with strings.
Declaring that her husband desired to pre-

there was none on hand, though a selection

during this time choosing slaves. No sort of
consideration was paid to the feelings of the
poor girls. Under examination they united
their single garment according to the re-
quirements of the purchaser, or took it off
entirely if so wished. Their teeth were
looked at and hair let down, their persons

P0sTRUMoUs FAME.

Human nature yearns for Immortality.
Indeed, this desire is 30 deeply implanted
in the heart that most people had rather live
in eternal torment than accept the frighiful
doom of humiliation. Among the God
given desires of man no one is stronger than
that he should be remembered. In every
phase of life this is manifested. The knowl-
edge that in some hearts there is nook
dedicated to our memory is source of un-
bounded pleasure. Remembrance is the
only paradise from which man cannot be
driven; while we live we desire to be remem-
bered, and with Dickens breathe the earnest
prayer, "Lord, keep my memory green" as
though the brightness of heaven would grow
brighter did we know that friends eyes
grow occasionally dim as they permit
their thoughts to revert to us, and
that some hands are decking our graves.
The memory of Homer, Milton, Shake
speare, Morse and Calico will never die.
We remember with complacency and de-
light those acts of our lives which seem most
praiseworthy. If anyone would be remem-
bered ne must do something noble. If 4
method should be discovered by which men
could achieve posthumous renown, the patent
would be worth more than the wealth of the
world. But Senator jos. E. Brown, of Geor-
gia, has discovered the art by which his name |
will go sounding down the corridors of |
lime" and gives the cixilizad- ws.i5-s-s~
use OF his patent. He has recently given /
$4,000 as fund for educating poor students.
He has so provided that the interest on this
fund is to be expended in educating the poor;
but each beneficiary is required to give his
note, bearing interest, and as nearly all such
notes will be paid, sooner or later, this fund
will be of immense benefit to the struggling |
poor of Georgia. Even the interest on
the furd of $4,000, without any re-
turn payments from the bene6ciaries,
will kindle the Gres of genius smoul-
dering in poverty and obscurity. By this
muni6cent donation the name of Joseph E.
Brown, of Georgia, will live in song and
story. The lapse of ages will not efface
from the memory and the hearts of CRATE
full people the name of a man whose kind
ness has given greatness and prosperity TO
struggling genius. The example of Gov
.rnor Brown should be initiated by chart
ably disposed rich men. The more good
colleges we have, and good schools, the more
'eal morslity, wealth, capital, prosperity
md culture will be added to society.

SCOTCH FARMERS COMPLAINING

SCOTCH FARMERs COMPLAINING
Ireland and Egypt, Arab and Parnell. are
keeping England in hot water just now. Home
troubles of a very threatening character, in
additional to Irish grievances, are rising up
and claiming concessions from the English
government that produce no little alarm
The Irish are not alone in their suferings
from the tyranny of landlords, and the
British farmers are giving strong signs that
what has been done for the Irish they them
selves are equally entitled to; and while
they ask no more, they will take no less.
The Scotch next to the Irish have felt the
weight of landlord injustice. In their coun-
try eyictions bring down the curse of the
poor upon the landholders as in ireland.
Just before the Egyptian cloud became an
Egyptian tempest, a delegation representing
1000 Scotch farmers, who are in alliance
with English farmers, waited upon Mr.
Gladstone and urged The removal of restric.
lions upon agriculture by allowing the farm
ers liberty to farm on the best methods. The
landlord often holds his possessions on en-
tails and restrictions that tie his hands; il
the tenant make improvements his rent is
raised. At every turn both find themselves
hampered in striving to conform their pro-
ceedings to the needs of the times. Accord
ingly the tenants require the abolition of en-
tail, compensation for tenants improve
ments and security for their investments,
and increased facilities for the sale and
transfer of land. This movement is signif-
cative, and the London Times acknowledges
that "when Scotchmen are agreed upon
point, they have singular knack OF getting
their demands attended to-"

A WINDY DAY.

The dawn was q dawn of splendor,
And the blue of the morning skies
Was as placid and deep and tender
As the blue of a baby's ewes;
Tbs sunshine flooded the mountains.
And flashed over land and sea
Like the spray OF a golden fountain
But the wind-the wind-ah me!
Like a weird invisible spirit.
1t swooped in its airy flight.
And the earth. as the storm drew near II,
Quailed as in mute alright;
The grass in the green fields quivered-
The waves of the smitten brook
Chilly shuddered and shivered
And the reeds bowed down and shook.
Like sorrowful miserere
1t sobbed, and it walled and blew
Till the leaves on the trees looked weary
And my prayers were weary too:
And then ike the sunshine's glimmer
That failed in the awfu1strain,
All the hope of my eyes grew DINNER
In a spatter of spiteful rain.
