Poetic Justice.
IN. 0. states.l

There is q pleasant SORT of
poetic justice in the fact that a
grandson and namesake of John
G.. Calhoun has led off in a move
ment for improving the condi-
ton OF the Southern negroes
and lettering the labor system
of that section under the new
rule OF freedom. Mr.. Calhoun.
who is a thoroughbred gentle
man, bought a cotton plantation
on the Mississippi bottom lands
in Arkansas in 1870. Dieter
mined to interest the negro, to
try to have him stick steadily TO
the same land year after wear,
he adopted an enlightened pol
lc.y," writes the correspondent
OF the Sun. "He sold goods to
his own hands at IA fair profit
only. He strove to confine their
purchases TO the necessities of
life. He talked To his hands,
explaining the conditions of life
and the habits Essential! to size
cess" Under this policy. the
negroes have prospered and the
planter has made money. The
land under cultivation has ill.,
creased from 200 to 1000 acres.
The negroes houses are clean
and comfortable, surrounded by
well-kept gardens and fenced.
Thefelds are we'll titled and fully
protected by fences. All the i'm
provements have been paid for
out of the profits. Mr.. Calhoun
employs LOO hands, and no
"rnnner" for other plantations
can entice one of them away.
The secret of this is that "every
bargain made with a negro is
religiously lived up to. Every
inducement is held out to them
to work with their hearts back
ing their hands. Land is rented
to the men for cotton rent, as
the negro takes more interest in
the crop if he is to have q por-
tian oft" Many of the tenants
hire large tracts, sixty, seventy.
or eighty acres, aud, owning
mules enough to cultivate The
land. hire other negroes by the
month. The siiitIIess, drunk
en-, gambling, lazy niggers :"
have found ont that on the~Ca!-
hoHn plantation they can earn
a good living, save money, and
accumulate property. white the
piantet never suffers loss for
want If timely help. Aud the.
happy Result is due simply 10
the policy Ut fair play-treating
the negroes like human beings,
and giving them a chance TO
better their condition. The
scheme has worked so we'll that
Mr.. Calhoun has formed q com
pany to bny other plantations
and extend its operations. The
correspondent believes that
"tlle grandson Of the original
secessionist has solved the prob

al prosperity Of the negroes Of

New Orleans Kicks at the Treasury
Department.

NEW ORLEANS, La, December All
the newspapers of this city have said
sharp words of the treasury department
at Washington, which has made ap ad-
verse report in the case of Mrs. Mary
niller. of New Orleans, an applicant for
license as master of steamboat. The
case Is OF some interest and is the gener-
al topic OF conversation. Mrs. Miller

an old Kentucky steamboat man,
who spent much of his life on the
Ohio, kentucsy, and other western
rivers. lie Is 70 years of age, aud is not

more than score of years younger than

boat and how to follow the channel

and snags, and intrlcacies of the western
rivers. Mrs. Miller is we'll versed ir the
art OF steamboating, and for years has
assisted her husband IN his various du-
ties III managing river craft. So con-
sGantlr has her existence been passed
on tie rivers of the Mississippi
Valley that several children that
we're horn to her first saw the light in
the nfrrow bunk and contracted cabin
ot steamboat. Recently Capt. Miller
built steam boat, according to a design
If his Own, for the Ouaachita River
trade, and she has since been doing
very a;tIve business. The Saline, while
of considerable tonnage, is of small
iraft, Ind is able to push her way up the
small ,ivers and bayous that are tribu-
IA ID
md to ind cargoes which could not
be reached by boats of a larger
class. The ancient captain, assisted
by his wife, son, and daughter of
10 years, pretty, modest and interest
ing, has prospered with his boat in Lou

mas been making itself year by year
more seriously felt. In this emergency
Mrs Miller determined to qualify her
self by process of law for taking com
mand OF the boat, AID she therefore ap-
piled to thelocal inspectors here for a
license as master. She passed success
fully the examinations, and she
proved he, acquaintance with the
requirements for a steamboat can

The local Inspectors certified the appli-

colored officer entered the station, hold
lug by the coat collar slightly built
Mongoiian. They were followed by 8
son of Erin, from whose nose the blooo
was flowing freely, and whose face had
come in contact with. something heavy,
The latter gave his name as Patrick
Cochran, and declared that the China
map, Wing Wab, had struck him in the
face several times with heavy club.
When asked the reason for the assault,
he stated that ne had given the China
man shirt to laundry, the ticket for
which he lost. The Celestial refused to
give the shirt unless he produced the
ticket, which he was unable to do. He
picked up package which was lying Oh
table, and began looking through 1t to
see If 1t contained his shirt. Then Wing
Wah picked up the club and commenced
the performance which resulted in his
having his face SO badly disfgured.
Have you nything to say?" asked
Magistrate South Of the prison.
I" No tickee, no vashee," answered the
Chinamau.
Why did you strike him with a
club?"
He clum in and wantec to look a.
shlrtee, say 10, go wsyee. He then
hittee me.
"Well, what did you do then?"
i hittee him. -
"rhat was all that took place, ther,
was it ?"
''Yes. He bittee me; | hittee him.
The mag strate stated that it was Q
question whether or not Cochran har
entered the place for the purpose o.
abusing the Chinamsp, and though
that under the circumstances Wing Wal
was entitled to his release. He wa,
then discharged from custody.
