The South and the Presidency.

The war. or the rebellion, as our North
ern contemporaries prefer to style the
'Iate unpleasantness," ended eighteen
wears ago. The reconstruction epoch
closed nearly a decade ago, the southern
question" no longer occupies the public
mind. the social life of the South has re-
sumed its normal condition, and the devo-
ton Of the Southern people to the welfare
of the Republic cannot be questioned.
The South casts 1j3 votes in the cleo
toral college. ana her white citi-
zens make up large portion
Of the Democratic party. Yet, among all
her statesmen not one ventures to express
an aspiration to the Chief Magistracy of
the Republic, Not that they are not am
bilious. not that they are not in every
way qualified to discharge the high func-
tions of the Office, but merely because a
lingering prejudice that should have been
buried long ago is traded upon for the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of certain politicians
who have been given the rewards at the
bestowal of the Democracy while as
worthy. if not wOrthier Democrats have
been compelled to content themselves
with minor positions OF public trust.
The explanation for this is not hard to
find The Democratic party has been
ruled by minority. Many of its ablest
statesmen are practically prescribed.
True they may aspire to stations within
the Gift of local constituencies, but the
Presidency is beyond their reach. Next
year the people will enter upon another
great national contest. What should be
the attitude OF The Southern Democracy
prior to the struggle? should the foremost
men of the South keep in the background
and allow the wOnted programme to be
re-enacted in the national convention! Is
there not one SOUtherner of eminence
that the people af the United states will
trust with the Presidency
How much longer is the test of South
ern loyalty to be cOntinued3 If Demo-
cratic House of Representatives, made up
largely of Representatives of this section,
can be trusted with the control Of legisla-
ton. why cannot a Brown, a Lamar,
Tucker or a Carlisle be trusted with the
approyal of Federal legisla-
ton: We do not claim the Dem
ocratic nomination for the Pres
idencv for a Southern Democrat, but we
maintain that the time has come when
such a Democrat may aspire to the Chief
Magistracy and have his claims passed
upoE by the great council of the Demo-
cratic party. # craftsmanship were to
decide the choice of the party, that choice
might fall on one of the many able repre-
sentatiyes of the South, but if ''availabil-
ity" should be made the test, the lot
might fall to another,

The Grape Crop.

The grape crop of the United Sta
not spoken of as a leading staple
agriculture, is really becoming so to an
extent that appears to be, as yet, little
understood or appreciated by the
miscellaneous public. Its real import
ance, however, was recently shown by
a remark made by leading and in
f1uential European connosseur in wines
who had been travelling through the
grape growing districts of the United
States, to the effect that he was salts
fed that our American wines ought not
to be rated as inferior to the CORES
ponding classes of foreign wines, and
that he believed that in the course of
time their excellence would be fully
recognized and established all over the
world. Aside, however, from this
Judgment, the culture of the grape as
fruit for edible purposes has made i'm
mense progress in the New England
and Middle States and in the
West, and, although as yet we cannot
say that these grapes are equal to tho
fine imported articles from Southern
Europe, they are certainly very much
improved in quality and abundance as
compared WIN inc grape used Tor the
same purpose in the same regions
fifteen or twenty years ago. The manu-
facture of wine from American grapes
has improved so much In the hands of
the German, French, Spanish and
Italian capitalists who have established
themselves in this business in America,
that since the grape disease began to
prevail in Southern Europe large GUAM
titles of American wine are used bv
foreign manufacturers. Germantown

Size Of Sun-Snots.

A single spot has measured from
10000 to $4,000 miles in diameter, in
which, as will be readily seen, we could
put our earth for standing point of
observation, and note how the vast
facular waves roll and leap about the
edge of the spot, and also how the
metallic rain is formed from the
warmer portions of the sun. In June,
l843, a solar spot remained a week
visible to the naked eye, having a
diameter of about 1900 miles; and in
1887 q cluster of spots covered an area
of nearly 4,O00,000,O00 square miles.
When we call to mind that the smallest
spot which can be seen with the most
powerful telescope must have an area
of about $4,000 miles, we can readily
see how large spot must be in order
to be visible to the unaided eye, FASTER
off, in 1928, measured spot whose UNI
bra had an extent four times greater
than the earth's surface. In August,
1858, a spot was measured by Newall,
and it had a diameter of SO, 900 miles
more, as you will see, than seven times
the diameter of the earth. The largest
spot that has ever been known to
astronomy was no less in diameter than
l53, 500 miles, SO that across this YOU
could have placed side by side eighteen
earths. -Popular Science Monthly.

A Boy Baby Who Climbs.

In family of bright, pretty children
In South San Francisco-the father of
whom is y well-known mechanic of this
city-exists a bright little boy, not yet
three years old, whose exploits are
somewhat remarkable. His eccentrici-
ties, unlike most precocious children,
do not seem to detract from his other
qualities, either of head or heart. Not
long since, yet before the little fellow
was thirty months of age, his father
had occasion to look after some repairs
at the top of number of flat-roofed
buildings of several stories elevation.
Taking the little one with him and
placing him on his coat at the foot of
the ladder fastened perpendicular
against the back of one of them, he
proceeded to the roof to make an inves-
tigation of the work to be done. This
occupied more time than he expected,
but was finally completed, and Just as
he was on the point of returning,
judge of his surprise to see the little
ones head peering above the topmost
rounds of the ladder and on a level
with himself. To secure him and
descend to the ground required no little
command of nerve or exercise of
muscle, but it was finally, to his great
joy, accomplished. A week or two
after this occurrence this little prodigy
OF fearlessness was missing from the
family circle. A most thorough search,
under great paternal anxiety, for a
long time failed to discover his where
abouts. Finally, in passing through
the street on which the above mentioned
buildings front, the object of so much
solicitude was discovered sitting on the
edge of projecting cornice, dangling
his feet about at a most lively rate and
looking at the objects below in most
unconcerned manner. BY dint of per-
severance and tact the little waif was
finally brought to the ground in safety.
To reach the perilous position where he
was found he had climbed the ladder
on which he had made previous ex.
plot, walked over an eight-inch plank
in the face of strong gale of wind to
the second building, and either
scrambled over or crawled around q
high frontage of the cornice. Both
family and friends are now awaiting
with anxiety and curiosity some future
development of this most extraordinary
lack of caution or fear in the brain Of
this young child.-San Francisco
Chronicle. ~

A Rich Mans Dread.

A singular evidence of rich mans
dread exists in Syracuse, New York.
This is found in the form Of tent erect
ed beside the grave of the late E. B.
Alvord, of that city. Inside the tent is
Waterman, who guards the tomb from
sunset to sunrise. Mr.. AIvord had q
dread OF grave-robbers. Possibly this
feeling was stimulated by his remem-
brance OF the peculiar outrage perpe-
trated years ago in NewYork City. Mr..
Alvord's dread SO grew by what it fed
on that he made arrangements for the
guard to which we have referred to be
kept up for some months. In addition
to this, the coffin is walled up with ma
sonry and covered with slab cemented
to the stone wall. By most people pre-
cautions like this will be deemed SUPER.
fluous. The grave-robberies which take
place in the course of year are ex-
tremely few. Compared with other
offenses, they hardly enter into the Sta
tistics of crime.

Copper for Roofing.

The Scientific american, mentions
the decline in the price of copper as
likely to lead to the increased use of
that metal in building. At present the
material for copper roof costs, at the
outset, only about twice as much as
tin, and rs the latter must be repaired
and painted about once in three years,
and in fifteen or twenty years must be
renewed altogether, the copper, which
never needs painting, and is practically
indcstructible, is much the cheaper
material in the end. There are in
Boston many copper roofs, put on
about forty years ago, which show no
signs of deterioration; and the metal is
still much employed in that city for
cornices, cutters, and rain-water pipes,
as well as for covering bay windows,
and in many other ways, in place of
galvaniZed-iron, which is much inferior
in beauty and durability, and not very
much cheaper. The copper has the
additional advantage of needing no
paint, so that the delicate lines of
artistic work are in no danger of being
filled up, and the metal increases rather
than diminishes in beauty by the slow
formation of bluish-green patina over

The Age of Monuments.

This quarter of the century has been
prolific in monuments, and may be
called the golden age, not of sculpture
perhaps, but of sculptors. AS fast as
spirited ediles improve old cities by
clearing away narrow streets, there is a
demand for groups in marble or bronze
to adorn open spaces; and philanthro-
pists are ever at work discovering emil
nent persons who deserve to have their
likenesses set upon pedestals. When
somebody inquired of Cato the Elder
why no statue had been raised to him,
he said that he would rather have to
answer this question than hear it asked
wherefore he had been honored with a
statue; but in these days nobody thinks
of questioning q mans claim to q mon
ument if subscribers can be found to
buy him one.-London Times.

An Uncommon Duel.

Gus Davis. of Philadelphia, came to
Camp Rio Pecos, N. NJ, some months
ago, and was engaged as a cattle herd
er by Mr.. John Shure, wealthy stock
owner. Davis soon showed himself to
be useful man, and gained the esteem
OF his employer and the envy of the
other herders. In less than three
months he had resisted so MANY tempt
atoms to quarrel with his Mexican as
sociates that he was nick-named 'The
Northern Coward
One morning about three weeks ago,
while Davis was on duty looking after
his cattle, Jesus Garcia, a Mexican,
saluted him, as usual, with "Good
morning, Northern Coward"
Human endurance has its limit, and
Mr.. Davis thought he had been insulted
long enough. The Mexican was at
first surprised at the stand taken by the
Philadelphia, but word brought on
word, until each determined that the
other must die.
The quarrel soon brought all the
neighboring cowboys to the spot. The
mode of combat was speedily arranged.
A chain thirty inches long was secure
~ locked about their necks. A Mexican
dagger, two-edged knife six inches
long, was given to each of the duelists.
The obliging cowboys then lowered the
men into long canon seventy-five feet.
| There they were to remain until the
one killed the other. A key to the lock
was given to each, and no one was al
lowed to interfere further. The rest of
the cowboys then went to work, as if
nothing usual had occurred.
For some days nothing was known
as to the result Of the encounter. Yes
terday, however, Davis, very weak and
emaciated, returned to camp, dragging
after him the ifeless body of Jesus
Garcia.
The story that Mr.. Davis tells is as
follows: .'The fight began as soon as
we reached the bottom of the canon.
Being locked together, each was always
in reach of the others knife. After
such deliberation as the few moments
during our descent permitted I decided
that unless the first blow were fatal,
the chances were decidedly in favor of
the party assailed. I accordingly al
lowed the Mexican to strike the first
blow. He plunged his knife into my
side. As soon as found his arm thus
stretched forward, cut the muscles of
his right arm near the shoulder. I'M
mediately his knife dropped. While he
was STOPPING to pick up his knife, l
sent my blade into his body from the
back. Before could strike again he
had picked up his knife and cut the
cords OF my arms, SO as to render them
both useless
''Here we both stood for a few
seconds, when I discovered that his
heart had been reached. His body
soon fell in the death struggles to the
ground. The chain was 50 short that
he brought me down with him. In a
few minutes he was dead. was so
weak from loss of blood that 1 lay down
by his side. We lay there for five DAYS
and nights, until hunger drove me to
make last effort. l climbed the
steep incline of the walls of the canon
and reached the camp, carrying Garcia
on my back, - The Biggest Liar of
