Into the past, while in silence lone

Oh what my girIhood promised me
For womanhood's complete and happy years.
Those long, long hours-whcrc are they spent

Once we were wont to say the hours had

They only minutes; minutes but seconds

In those dear, perfect, neer forgotten days
But now time fingers long, 20 very long;
Rather, the moments creeping hours seem,
The hours days. Yet he is good to me;
He loves our children, if he loves not me.
Kind is his heart to all who know distress,
Orpoycrly or SIM or ju,l,c, small.

The tide of immigration setting to-
ward our shores is subject to huctua-
tiOns, but there exists no reason to an
ticipdte that during the life of the pres
ent generation it will fail to reach the
average height of the past ten years
immigration, therefore, continues TO be
one OF the great economic questions of
this country, and it involves a political
problem ofthe highest importance, that
of naturalization. That our naturaliza-
ton laws are defective in many respects
is notorious, and the demand for their
revision will no doubt acquire added
force from the publication of an article
by Justice William Strong upon that
subject in the North American Review
for May. In the same number of the
Review, Edwin p. Wbipple offers can

The New York Times has been
not less persistent that the Louis
vile Courier-Journal in its advoca-
cy of the Morrison tariff bill. Its
sinister motive was known to every
democrat in the land who had the
sense Of a fishing worm. Therefore
it was a work of supererrogation
for theTimes TO confess its duplicity
by exulting over the democratic
division threatened by the debate
of the bill in the house. In the fol
lowing paragraph it furnishes a hint
to the democratic agitators from
which they might learn wisdom if
they would. 1t says:
Now that the democrats have got
the tariff bill fairly bofore the house,
and expect to pass their forty days
in the hungry wilderness of debate,
the republicans throughout the
country show some signs of reioic-
ing at the damage which the demo
cracy IS likely to suffer from the ex-
perience. 1t is argued and not un-
naturally, that the result of the de-
bate will be to intensity the differ
ences in the party and to make il
difficult, perhaps impossible, for ii
to unite on candidate and a plat
form which will command general
support.

Copiah and Cincinnati.

After being robbed, bedeviled
and worried by negro leaders until
forbearance ceased to be a virtue,
the citizens of Copiah county,
through one of their number killed
a negro by the name of Print Mat
thews. They also harshly treated
some negroes who had been Mat
thews' chief instruments in ruling
the white people. For these acts,
and for refusing to submit to negro
rule, COpiah county was invistiga-
ted by committee of the United
States senate at an expense of many
thousands of dollars.
Cincinnati recently became excl
ted because a murderer eighteen
years old escaped death and was
only sentenced to 20 years impris-
onment. A mob was raised, and
in the attempt to hang the boy,
fifty TO one hundred persons were
killed and double as many seriously
wounded. Buildings were fired,
and for days a reign of terror exist
ed in the largest city in the state
represented by John Sherman, who
introduced the resolution to investi-
gate Copiah county. The murder
er, Berner, will receive severe pun
ishment, but there was no way to
punish the negro organizer, Mat
thews, at all. We do not pretend
to say that Berner should not be
hanged, but we do say that the
great city of Cincinnati had less
cause for lynch law than the negro
harried county of Copiah. If the
people up in Gods country get so
extravagantly excited about boy
being sent to the penitentiary in
stead of being sentenced to death,
what would they do if they had to.
take dose of negro rule, earnestly
administered by avaricious, unscru-
pulus negro leaders? Let John
Sherman answer this question, and
then send his committee to investi-
gate his own state.

The study of the conditions of
the people of the several states
forces the inevitable conclusion that
upon a diversity of industries de
pend the prosperity and wealth of
the country. In Tennessee we want
more consumers of agricultural
products who are workers in other
fields of labor. We want our pop
ulation increased by an influx of
manufacturers mechanics and arti-
sans, that the percentage of agri-
cultural workers may be reduced,
the value of land enhanced, the wa
ges for farm labor increased, the
markets for farm products brought
within the boundaries of the state.
Such is the kind of immigration
which is needed in Tennessee and
the south. We are not in pressing
need for more farmers or farm la
Dor from the northwest, or north, or
from over the ocean, when in Ten
nessee &c per cent. Of our popula-
ton are engaged in farming; in
Georgia, - per cent. in North and
South Carolina, each, 70; in Ala
bama, II; in Mississippi, 50, and in
Arkansas SO per cent. of population
being workers in agriculture, and
the average value of land per acre
in these southern states only $5.iS.

lay quiet on the seat in front of him,

he leaned over and looked long and
earnestly in the little face, and then

A Sad Story.

A resident of Montana was out
hunting recently and to get shelter
from an approaching storm he
crept into hollow log. After the
storm had abated he attempted to
crawl out, but found that the log
had swollen so that it was impossi-
BILE to make his exit. He endeav-
ored to compress himself as
much as possible, but with indiffer-
ent success. He thought of all the
mean things he had ever done until
his mind reverted to the fact that,
instead of subscribing for his local
paper, he was in the habit of bor-
rowing it from his neighbor and thus
defrauded the printer. On this be
said he felt so small that he slipped
out of the log without any great ex
ertion.-Ex.

Reading Democrats out Of the Party

Beading Democrats out Of the Party.
A teleglaphic dispatch from
Washington, signed with the initials
of the Hon. Henry Watterson, and
partaking what of the character of
a proclamation, ukase bull, or pro-
nunciamento, appeared in the
Louisville Courier Journal of Tues
day. The most interesting passage
is herewith presented:
"The sooner the break comes the
better. There can be no arrange
ment short of the Morrison bill, be
tween the democratic party and
Pennsylvania. If Mr.. Randall and
his followers cannot support so con
servative a measure, they can sup
port nothing except a high tariff
bill, proposed by the republican,; !;
and in that event they had better
pick up their gripsacks and go over
to the republicans, where on this
question they properly belong"

of laughter by the jolly crowd
around him; they put the bottle un-
der his nose and INDUCED in many
jokes at his expense, but he refused
to drink, and vas rather serious
about it. ''What's the matter with
