THE PURITAN.
Hard, Morrow, BigOted, Sour, But a
Fine Fellow NtIhal.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December 3D.
"FoIefAthers' Day" was celebrated
here tonight by a banquet by the New
England Society Of Pennsylvania.
About 200 persons eat at the board.
George William Curtis, of New York,
responded to the toast "The day we
celebrate" Among other things, he
said: "rhe Puritan was not
Revolutionist nor an Anarchist, but
he was terrible reformer. de WAS
as hard as Plymouth rock itself, a. mar
row as tbe way that leads TO eternal
life, and il he snuilled psalms through
his nose it was because hs had been
trained to fight and not to sing. There
was never in history man 80 hated
AZ the English Puritan, and there are
still Poop who think him a knave and
a hypoGiite. There is much the same
feeling in the London clubs toward
Mr.. Gladstone, himself a very good
Puritan. We can sfford to tel the truth
about the Puritan. He was narrow,
bigoted. sour, hard aud intotleIant;
bu. he was the man FIR whom God
sifted three kingdoms for to pla1t the
seed Of true republic injsm, and ! o.
has done mora for liberty than any
man in historyi' though by whar
curious alchemy the Puritan was
transformed into tho New England

troller OF the Currency, and the Hon.

FLIGHT OF MISSISSIPPI NE
GRDEs.


While the negroes OF South Oaroli1a
are seeking homes in Arhapsap, those
of the uplands of Mississippi seek
their MCccs in the Yaz2o Delta. The
riches! cotton soil in the world is
there, covered by forests almost i'm
peuetrable, for the overf1ws OF the
Mississippi forbid men 10 reside in
those dense jungles. But there, 90
elsewhere, man has conquered nature,
and has VIGOROUSLY commanded TO
the sea Of difficulties, Thus far shalt
thou go and no further" Extensive
levees hold back the waters, and the
locomotive sileucss the hooting owl
with its stridsnt rear. The Missis-
sippi Valley railroad now owns most
OF this rich land land offers It on low
terms to settlers, and there the negro
in search OF better chances in lie 10
resorting, Their desertion Is cause
of no little trouble TO their former
emp,oyers. President Lee, OF the
Mississippi Agricultural College,
however, has pointed out the mode
OF ealvatou. from the difficulty in adj
vice so wise and prudent that we

garded. He urges the farmers to &C
cept the exodus Of tie negroes as in.
evltable under existing circumstances;
to give up entire devotion to the cot
ton crop, for which the Yaz1o lands
are more fitted; 10 diversity their
crope; encourage white men to take
the place Of the negroes, giving them
opportunity to acquire small farms and
settle among them. These people
would grow hay, oats and corn, raiss
stock and cultivate fruits. Mississippi
lie q favored spot, and with an extended
aud industrious population, reliance
upon the negro as the sole helper and
impIover would cease. The New Or
leans Picdyuns Ia not disposed to re.
gard the emigration of the negro as a
calamity for the deserted counties. 1t
sses hope and promise from their alb.
eence, and Gays: "What now seems
calamity may prove a bless
ing in disguise and inure
to the grandeur and prosperity Of
great State. With brave, intelligent
and enterprising people, we are sure
such result can be attained" Not
by marsh measures, bat by prudent
action, by arranging the days policy
according TO the days needs and cir
