LOSING A DAY.

Pacific Ocean Correspondence Baltimore Sun
On a Sunday evening we approach
ed the lS0th meridian of longitude.
We went to sleep Sunday night and
awOke Tuesday morning. We had
left out Monday i'm order to set our
selves right with the time of the
world. In travelling westward from
London we were lust twelve hours
behind London time. To set our
selves exactly right we should have
missed but twelve hours, but by com
mon consent all vessels crossing the
iSOth degree of longitude from east
to west miss twenty.fOur hnuis, so
that having crossed the meridian, we
were twelve hours ahead instead of
twelve hours behind London time,
but travelling on westward we would
lose twelve hours by the time we
should reach London, and thus W..
would find ourselves exactly right 10y
London time. In travelling round
the world the other way, i. e., from
west to east. the order is reversed.
and day is counted the second time

Southern Domesticity.

Judge Tourgec In the Continent
There are two phases of Southern
life which are but little app. eciated
ut the North, its domesticity and its
humOr. The conventional planter OF
the antebellum era was II careless,
boastful, staggering tyrant. his wife
and daughters equally careless III re.
gard To the hOmelife, its comforts and
economies. as of the administration
of his boundless acres. Both ideas
were almost equally incorrect. The
southern planter, us II rule, was u
careful administrator of his estate:
not in the same snug and tidy man
ner of which the Northern farmer
worry over all the details of farm
management Us much as his comrrer
of the North, nor WAS his sense of
fitness outraged lay IL lack of com
plc:eness and order which would
have driven the farmer of the middle
states into an insane asylum. There
was Il sort of laXity about his meth
obs which was hard for the Northern
man tn distinguish from slothfulness.
Yet he watched with care the drvcl.
opmCnt of the crops, the progl ess Of
the work. and WAS no doubt Il better
director of labor than could generally
I've found upon the Northern farm.
With ignorant labor and crude ma
chinery he achieved good results. 1t
is especially with regard to the do
nestle life of the South, however
that false ideas prevailed ut the
North. The planters family has nj
ways been credited with hospitality
of Il lavish, careless kind, but IA very
small portion of the people of the
North have ever supposed that the
planters wife WAS very generally IL
Martha of the most anxious and
troubled variety. The difference Of
method betwiXt the Northern and
the Southern houSekeeper has been SO
great that the former has very often
been inclined To elevate IA dainty nose
in scorn of any professed acquire
ments Of the latter. SO, too.the hurry.
birly of our Northern life; its sharp
competition and the constant influx
of the outside world have been such
rs to predispOse us To underestimate
the charming domeSticity of the
Southern home. 1t is not often as
strictly ordered or administered with
that anxiety with regard to detail
that characteriZes the Northern
household. yet there is rarely to re
found Il more faithful purveyOr of
comforts than the mistress of Il
Southern plantation. The very isola-
ton of plantation life, the rarity of
strangers visits, and the care with
which even the most distant family
ties are remembered and acknOw.
lodged in that section, all tend to make
the domestic life Of the better class of
the South very charming and de.
liphtful

fifty miles south of the Ration Noun

cate all the land in the region named

all the weak holders in the neighbor
