GEORGIAN, who has been travelling through
Ohio and Indiana, writes to his home paper that
he never saw a negro north of the Ohio at work
as a drayman, hack cart-driver or mechanic
Every avenue of serious employment is barred
to the black man of the North, he says. The
value of this Georgia gentleman's observations
may be gathered from his further statement that
in riding whole day through the State of In

forests, he never saw dog Comment is IN

\ Marine Monster.

Ihe most prodIgIous vessel on the
records of the ~ancients was built by
order of Hero, the second Tyrant of
Syracuse, under the superintendent OF
Archimedes, about $50 years before
Chust, the description of which would
ill a small volume. Ather @us has left
a description Of this vast floating fabric.
There was, he says, ms much timber
employed in her as would hav. served
forene construction of fifty galleys.f 1t
had all th~ varieties of appointments and
convenience neo,csqrv to a palace
such rs banqueting rooms, baths, IA
library, a temple of Venus, gardens,
fish ponds, mills, and a spacious gym
nasium. The inlaying of the floors of
tho middle apartment represented in
various col0rs the stories OF Homer s
Iliad; there were everywhere the most
beautiful carvings, ard every embellish-
ment aud ornament that art could fur
nish were bestowed on the ceilings,
windows and every part. The inside OF
the building was Inlald with cypress
wood, The statues were of ivory, and
the floor was studded with precious
stones.
The vessel had twenty benches OF
oars, and was er oompassed by an ron
rampant or ba tsry; it had also eight
towers, with walls and bulwarks, which
were furnished with machines of war,
n OF which was capable OF thIowng a
stone of 300 pounds weight, or a dart of
twelve cubt, long, to the distance of
half a mile. To launch her, Archimedes
invented a screw of great power. She
had four wooden and eight iron anchors;
her .mainmast, composed OF a single
tree, was procured, after much trouble,
from dstaut inland mountains. Hero,
finding that he had no harbors in Sicily
capable of contsin ng her, and learning
that there WAS Il famine in Egypt, sent
her, loaded with corn, to Alexandra.
She bore an inscription Of which the
following is part: "Hiero the son of
Hierocles, the Dorian, who Yields the
scepter OF Sicily, sends this vessel,
bearing in her the fruits OF the earth.
DO thou, D Neptune, preserve in safety
this ship o,ar the blue waves"

Those who are OF opinion that the
vast Russian province of Siberia is a
waste or frozen wilderness are very
much mistaken. The central region of

magnificent pasturages and corn-tields,

Of stock, and there are said to be l 2OO,-
600 head of cattle On the steppes border

Is habitable, but very much Of Siberia
is tractable for agriculture, while thefur

The London Lancet suggests that the

use Of sugar for feeding and fatten1ng
cattle. Owing to the glut IN the mar
ket. the co8rser sorts can be obtained at
AL exceptionally cheap rate, refuse
mclasses being quoted at IN cent per
pound, and jtggery a very little more.
At these rates, therefore. the farmer
could we'll afford to treat mis- beasts
more literally with s]accharine additions
to the usual food. It has been ascer-
tanned that the sugar exercises a beneh-
cial effect upon COWS in regard to both
flavor and the quantity of their milk. Il
also improves pigs, and sheep thrive
