ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING, OCTR. 6, 1882.

Mr. EDWARD A. FREEMAN, in his impress
sions of the United States, in the Fortnight
ly RsoieD, entertains directly opposite views
Of the race question in this country from
those held, or rather expressed by General
Malone. The latter says all race distinc-
tons should be obliterated, but the former,
whose brains have made him famous, after a
close inspection and deliberate considera-
ton of whathe saw during a recent visit TO
the United States, says: 1.-THE eternal laws
of nature, the eternal distinction of color,
forbid the assimilation Of the negro. You
may give him the right of citizenship by
law; you cannot make him the real equal,
the real fellow of citizens of European de-
scent" "The bestowal Of citizenship on the
negro is one of those cases which show what
law can do and what it cannot. The law
may declare the negro to be the equal ofthe
white man; it cannot make him his equal.
To the old question, Am | not man and Il
brother? | venture to answer: No. He
may be man and a brother in some sec
ondary sense he is not a man and brother
in the same full sense in which every wes-
tern Aryan is man and brother. He
cannot be assimilated the laws of nature
forbidit. And it is surely dangerous cx-
pertinent to have in any commonwealth an
inferior race, legally equal to the superior,
hut which nature keeps down below the lev
el to which the law has raised it." NO one
now pleads for slavery no one laments the
abolition of slavery; but did the abolition
ofslavery necessarily imply the admission OF
the emancipated slave to full citizenship 2"
There is, allow, difficulty and danger in
the position of class enjoying civil but not
political rights, placed under the protec-
ton of the law. but having no share in max
ing the law or III the choosing of its makers
But surely there is greater difficulty and
danger in The existence Of class of citizens
who at the polling booth are equal to other
citizens but who are not their equals any
where else where the closest OF human
connections is, in any lawful form looked
on ~ impossible. there is no real brother
hood, no real fellowship. The artificial tie
Of citizenship is in such cases a mockery."
Everybody nj all familiar with the negro
recognizes the truth Of what Mr.. Free
man says. and the solution of the ques-
ton he 80 ably discusses involves ono of the
most serious troubles the country has to en-
counter.

serted the party, and means to stand BY il

question; it is Conservatism or. RadicaIsm
it is bosssm or the rule of the people. In
such struggle it is inexplicable that any
true Democrat can stand aloof or be indi!:

Malone and his miserable methods can
complacently see one ofhis ringleaders tri.

Treasury the 1000 additional shares of the
stock of the Alexandria Canal Company
still due.
1t is objected by her counsel that the lapse
OF time has been so great, and the laches Of
the United States so signal, that it would be
negotiable now for Alexandria to be called
upon to perform this obligation. But time
does not run against the United States, and
public policy forbids that the negligence of
the officers of an immense government like
ours should be held to create laches on the
part of the government, except, probably, rs
to third persons who are strangers to trans
actions as to which the negligence NAV
occur. If, indeed, there could be any
rational doubt entertained in regard
TO the reason why not more than 1900 shares
Of the canal stock were delivered in 1887.
or any reasonable pretension that such de-
livery was in fact accepted by the United
States as completing the obligation of Alex
andria and if this doubt could not be clear
ed up because of the death of witnesses who
were cognizant fthe transaction, and loss of
evidence touching it, this court, as court of
equity, might hesitate to do apparent Justice.
lest in doing so it should uuwittingly do real
injustice. But as already said, I do not
think there can be any reasonable doubt of
the facts of the original transaction, or of the
intention of Congress or ofAleXandria in en-
tering into it.
Where an obligation is clear, equity will
not refuse to enforce it because OF mere jonsc
of time since its origin. In cases where The
rights of third persons have become in
volved equity will often refuse to enforce
long standing obligation to theinjury or pre-
JUDGE of such persons.

Manufacturing Birds.

FROM the Cnlcago Tribune.
Take a stick of wood one inch SQUARE and
eighteen inches long and point one end. Slit
the other end three or four inches and insert a
piece OF stiff cardboard six inches wide and
foot long. This will represent the body and tai,
OF the bird. Fasten on both sides near the point
ed end taDering stick two feet long. with the
outer ends slightly elevated, and fasten to these
and the body piece of cardboard ten inches
wide and two feet long. Have the tail vertical
instead of horizontal. as in the bird Round
on the outer rear corners of the wings for
three or four inches. The imitation of
the natural bird is now complete. There
Is no need OF eXactness. as the air YOU are to
try it in will be an unknown quantity and it
may Just suit the shape you make. An indis-
pensable part Is now to be added which is to
preserve equilibrium, and is not.used by the nat
ural bird. A tapering stick. say one and a half
inches wide three-eighths Of an inch thick at the
top. three-eighths of an inch square at the other
end and eighteen inches long, is used. This
piece Is to be securely fastened by a small bolt
through the upper end Of the body piece. about
hve inches from the upper end. It must be cap
able of adjustment by allowing the lower end to
swing front and back through, say forty degrees
TO the lower end is fastened q muslin bag which
viii hold two pounds of shot. Expose the
efhgy to breeze Of from three to twenty
miles an hour, from as .hign situation as It
Is possible for you to obtain, by holding it BY
the pendant stick near the body. Adjust the
Weighted stick forward or back. and add or
substract shot until the efsigy has q tendency
to spring from your hand against the current
OF air, when it may be released at o moment
OF greatest steadiness of breeze l have made
hundreds OF these toys with all kinds Of sue
cess, but have never yet succeeded in getting
one to travel beyond the limits Of vision.
They have proceeded directly against the breeze
| for five hundred yards, and obliquely, up or
down, or to right or left, within these limits,
| when they would lose their balance and come
down. Sometimes almost any kind of one that
was presented to the air would float creditably,
! while at others none would succeed The
pendant weight tor maintaining equilibrium,
though the best ever devised. is far too slug.
gish for perfect work. The momentum OF
| this weight presents the best results, for IL a
succession OF puffs upon the same wing should
occur quickly together the weight would swing
far enough In obedience to the Impulse given TO
capsize the efiigy. Such . succession OF pnffa
| Is sure to occur sooner or later at each trial.

Poisoned by Eating Nuimcgs-A Case
Of Medical Interest,

Few people are aware Of the fact that the
common nutmeg, used daily in the culinary de-
partment of our households, is narcotic. and
when used in large doses may produce death.
In Louisville, recently, Miss Nellie Brown,
feeling unwell, ate two nutmegs for relief. Mrs.
Webster, with whom she boarded, finding her
unconscious, summoned doctor. When he
nrst looked at the girl he supposed that she
was suffering from the effects OF opium. but
upon close examination he discovered that the
pupils OF the eye were dilated instead of being
contracted. Emetics were administered and
amer great deal Of labor the girl opened her
eyes, looked wildly around and sasped ont
the word '.nutmegs." Then she feil back on
the pillow unconscious again, and In this con-
dftion size remained for several hours She was
again brought to, but only for few moracnts
during which time, however, abe rclatcd what
awful dreams she had had. s3,e spoke OF having
died severat times. and that the deaths were al
the most horrible description. She agailt be-
came unconscious, and remained % itr Is

A CURIOUS WAY OF COUNTING.
LOvc-lnaking and Marriage Among
the CaOctatvs Still Living I'm Missis.
gippi.

From the Natchcz Democrat.
The two thousand Choctaws still living in
their ancestral homes in Mississippi retain In
their pristine vigor many of the usages of their
ancestors. Among these are the methods en-
ployed in conducting courtship and the mar
rage ceremony. When young Choctaw of
Kemper or Neshoba county sees maiden who
pleases his fancy he watches his opportunity
until he finds her alone. He then approaches
within few yards Of her and gently casts
pebble toward her, so that it may fall at her feet
He may have to do this two or three times be-
fore he attracts the maidens attention. If this
pebble throwing Is agreeable she soon makes it
manifest; If otherwise. a scornful look and
decided 'ekwah" indicate that his suit is in
vain.
When marriage is agreed upon the lovers
appoint time and place for the ceremony. On
the marriage day the friends and relatives of the
prospective couple meet at their respective
houses or villages and thence march toward
each other. When they arrive near the mar
rage gfound-generally intermediate space be-
tween the two vllages-they halt within about
hundred yards of each other. The brothers of
the woman then go across to the oppOste
party and bring forward the man and set him
down on blanket spread upon the marriage
ground. The mans sisters then do likewise by
going over and bringing forward the woman
and seating her by the side of the man. Some
sion, the woman is expected to break loose and
run. OF course she is pursued, captured and
brought back.
All parties assemble around the expectant
couple. Alag of bread is brought forward by the
womans relatives and deposited near her. In
like manner the mans relatives bring forward a
bag of meat and deposit it near him. The man 8
friends and relatives now begin to throw pres
e1ts upon the head and shoulders Of the woman
These presents are of any kind that the donors
| choose to give, as articles Of clothing, money,
trinkets. ribbons. etc. AS soon as thrown they
are quickly snatched off by the woman's rela-
tives and distributed among themselves. Dur
Ing all this time the couple sit very quietly and
demurely, not a word spoken by either. When
| all the presents have been thrown and distrib-
uted the couple, now man and wife, arise, the
provisions from the bags are spread and, Just as
in civilized lfc the ceremony is rounded Off with
festival The festival over, the company dis
perse and the gallant groom conducts his bride
to his home. where they enter upon the tolls and
responsibilities Of the future.
