outstretched palm OF Il friend or by cut

will put one sword on each hand, and so
armed, spring ing from his feet on the
bare ground, will throw somersaults
backward and forward, following each
movement with a wondrously compli-
Gated and simultaneous gyration Of both
swords round his head and DO ly. He

Dropped by the Wayside.

II il evident that the Boston A3esr-
tiser ha. not kept up with the process
sion. II appears to have dropped by
the wsyside about hfseen years ago
and gone to sleep and walked up within
the last few days in a RIP-vAN-WIN'
KLE and bewildsred condition. While
it slumbered, undisturbed except by
dreams of southern outrsges, American
progress and American politics ad-
vanced many stages. Our contemporary
now says the South is just beginning to
appreciate its forests as a source Of
wealth, and that southern provincial.
ism, the intolerant temper Of the south
ern people, and social ostracism of po-
li,icsl opponents have kept out OF
the South thousands Of northern
men Of ample means, trained ability,
and high character, who would rather
not be rich at the price Of sacrificing
their liberty Of opinion, expression,
and action" What the Advertiser
says about our forests is good, consider
ing that for some time past not few
southern papers have been discussing
the question Of their possible early ex'
baustion. As to social ostracism, we
admit that that power WAS applied in the
days of the srpet-bagger, and it is we'll
for the country that it was. 1t helped
to rid the South of one of the greatest
curses that ever were inflicted upon
any people. Some northern men may
have been prevented from coming South
by reading such papers as the Adosr-
fiser. but their number is small indeed
compared with the number Of those
that have settled among US. And OF
these latter it is safe to say they would
never have been here if the csrpet-bag.

them. With the continuance Of carpet

when nothing would have been left in
the South to attract any one. In a
word, the Adrertiser has been badly
"lefs A" as regards events in the South,
and if it would catch up will have to
make unprecedented time.
