Outrages growing out of race and poll
cal differences are rather frequent in the
South of late. The Carrollton outrage is
followed by an account of the revival OF
Ku-Kluxism in West Virginia, and an at
tempt to murder Mayor Baker OF Houston,
Texas, because he insists on running as
an independent candidate.
1t was very significant fact stated by a
veteran missionary that the only common
language in India. when representatives
of the various provinces and native gov
ernments meet at a common convention,
is English. They cannot understand each
other in their native dialects. English
will soon become the common spoken
language, not only of India but of all
Asia.

Zeigler, of the meat market on South G.

were completely iucrusted with gold and sill

on Carson River, and the precious metal on

the mills reducing ComstOck ores. This cir

The Farms of America.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, the iron manu.
facturcr, of Pittsburg, Pa, in his book
entitled triumphant Democracy" says
of the farms Of America: The farms of
America comprise s3T, G2s square miles,
an area nearly equal to one-fourth of
Europe, and larger than the four greatest
European countries put together PRUSSIA
cxccptcd), namely France, Germany,
Austria and Hungary and Spain. The
capital invested in agriculture would
suffice to buy up the whole of Italy,
with its rich olive groves and vineyards,
its old historical cities, cathedrals and
palaces, its Kings and aristocracy, its
Pope and Cardinals, and every other
feudal appurtenance. Or, if the Amcri-
can farmers were to sell out, they could
buy the entire Peninsula of Spain; with
oil its traditions of medieval grandeur.
and the fiat lands which the Hollanders
at vast cost have wrcstcd from the sea
and the quaint old towns they have built
there. If he chose to put by his savings
for three years, the Yankee farmer could
purchase the fee simple of pretty Swift
crland as a summer resort, md no touch
his capital ut all, for each years earnings
exceed $3.50, 600, 600. The cereal crop
for 1880 was more than 2, 500, 600, 900
bushels. If placed in one mass this
would make a pile of {, $500, 600, 900 cubic
feet, or a pyramid three times n great as
that of Chcops. If loaded on carts it
would require all the horses in Europe
and 1000, 900 more (33, 900, oOO) to re-
move it, though each horse drew a load
of Awo tons. Were the entire crop OF
cereals loaded IN n continuous train of cars,
the train would reach one and a half times
around the globe. Its value is half as
great as all the gold mined in California

A Dark Cloud on Loves Horizon.

"Now, my darling" said he, "Iwould
ask you to have some oysters tonight,
but since the Rs have disappeared from
the months oysters are no good; in fact,
the scientists say they are hurtful. OF
course you would not ask me to treat YOU
to anything hurtful."
Certainly not, dear John, but there is

"pm aware of it, but, they say that
arsenic goes into the manufacture of ice
cream"
"All the better, dear John. There is
nothing better for the complexion than
arsenic"
"But, my love-"
"Never mind, John, I'm willing to
risk it,"
"But if you should die, darling?"
"You will take a plate also and we will
die together"
Then John was forced to confess that
he had only fifteen cents in his pocket
and the engagement was at an end.

Giving the C0untersien.

In the fall of 1862 the One Hundred
and Fifth Illinois Infantry, of which I
was member, lay encamped at Chicago.
One day, having occasion to go into tho
city on a pass, and being detained bc-
yond the time of guard mounting, I was
quite uneasy about getting back into
camp again without having all the boys
know that I had overstaid my sleavc.n
Along in the evening I approached tho
guard, expecting, as I deserved, to be
marched before the Major; but luckily a
young German who knew me was on
guard, and when I presented myself he
halted me all right, with "Who comes
dere2" I answered, "a friend to the
guard" "Come on de front and prinrs

or you don't get in here tonight" Of
course, I said "Lincoln," very gravely,
passed in, and my troubles were ended

AdulteratiOn of Candy.

The adultcration of candy is chiefly
by the use of terra alba, or white CLAW.
This harmful stuff can be detected by dis
solving the suspected candy in water,
when the clay falls to the bottom undis-
solved. An ounce roll of cheap lozenoes
VIII sometimes contain three-quartcrs of
an ounce of this injurious stuff. The
coloring of candies is, for the most part,
not dangerous, since Il piece of red col
orlng matter the size Of a gum drop will
color 5000 pounds of candy. Unscrupu-
lous manufacturers, however, sometimes
use mineral instead of vegetable colors,
and carloads of such candy have been
seized and destroyed by the health Off
GERS in New York.
For the most part carmine and cochi-
neal are used for red, saffron for yellow,
caramel or burnt sugar for brown, and
this with carmine for orange. Green and
b'ue candies are to be avoided. These
colorings are used sometimes, however,

Morayian Customs.

The Moravians have settlements not
only in Germany, but also in England,
Switzerland and America. They hold
nearly all the doctrines of Lather. Their
largest settlement, called Herrnhut is in
Saxony, and the Moravians in many
parts of Germany bear the name of
Herrnhutcr. In each community there
are two houses set apart-one for the un-
married men, called the stBrothcr's.
house." and the other for all unmarried
sisters or widows who wish to enter them.
The Moravians cannot marry without
the consent of the elders of their church,
md IN some cases the bridegroom has
been chosen for the bride. They seldom
marry outside the community, and their
engagements are nearly as solemn as the
marriage. The weddings are very SIM
pie, the sister wearing but a black dress
with a white lace handkerchief, and her
pretty cap with it's pale pink ribbon,
which is changed afterwards for a pale
blue ribbon when the is fin
lshed. There are always two rings at a
wedding in Germany, as there a married
man always wears one, which he receives
from his bride in exchange for his.
The Moravians wear no Grape nor
mourning for their dead, and they speak
Of them as blessed, and of dead as stgo-
ing homc." They call the graveyard
"God's acre." and they take the greatest
care of their graves. But there also is
the division. rs in the Church, for the
men are buried on one side of the Gene
terry and the women on the other.
The Moravians are all we'll educated,
and the poorer brethren amongst them en-
Joy the same privileges in their excellent
schools rs do the richer brethren. Life
amongst tie Omitted Brethren" is simple
and unartificial love to God and man be-
ing their first principle; and many who
have lived amongst them Deal in their
hearts a loving memory of their goodness,
and of the pretty little village of Nuedi-

The North Star Still There.

Governor David S. Crandall, formerly
editor of the Lockport, On. W Courier,
used to tell a story of the great meteoric
shower which fell in Novcmbey, 1888.
He was at that time living upon his farm,
a few miles distant from Lockport.
Among the men he employed was a
chorc-boy - or ID years old. On the
night referred to Mr.. Crandall was en-
gagged in writing after the rest of his
family had gone to bed. Seeing through
the window the shower of mercors, he
aroused his wife, and then the boy, re-
questing them to come to the door. The
boy was at first absolutely struck dumb
with astonishment, thinking that all the
stars in the heavens were falling through
spacc. After a little he turned to
the North Star and his courage came
back. "Gosh" he exclaimed, "the old
dipper hangs on yet, don't shea"
