working Land in south Carolina.

THE great evil is that the whole sys-
tenn of renting and working land is out
of joint. There must be complete rev.
olution in our industrial system. In the
old times the slave-owner portioned his
land year by year so as to keep its fertil-
ity up; and in the time his slaves were
not in the cotton he had them gather
muck or pine trash ana make manure
the land kept even or gained. Now it is
all done by hiring or renting, and
every negro only wants his days
wages or his crop for that year, and
forces it out of the land 10y fertilizers.
Now these fertilizers do not build up
land like manure does; they are nothing
but chemical agents-they force the land
TO give out what was in it, and leave it
poorer"
"Then how do the planters make any
money!"
THE few who make any are doing il
by using up their capital-that is, the fer
tility of the soil. And millions of acres
have already reached point where they
yield no profit at all. The negro who
works such piece can make wages, but
the owner gets nothing. do not know
ten men in the state who make money
by cotton-growing alone. When you find
aplanter who is doing well, you will find
that he is practicing law or medicine oI
trading in something. g.r-"Parke" in Chi

The Hereditary Principle I'm China.

While we were discussing what to dc
with our hereditary Legislators We might
do worse than examine the system which
prevails in China with regard TO the no
bility. 1t appears that in that country
the members of noble family Of
the generation are a degree lower in
rank than those Of the previous genera.
ton and degree higher than those Of
the succeeding one. Thus Ito use ouI
own forms. as being more familiar) the
son of duke would be a marquis, the
latter's son an earl, and so on, until
finally the family merged in the com.
munity. II member of one generation
distinguishes himself by eminent public
services. he can of course be elevated tc
the rank Of his father or grandfather,
and the family will commence anew tc
descend the scale; so that a family will
remain noble one as long as its mem.
bers continue to deserve the distinction,
otherwise it disappears in the course OF
a few generations into the masses, until
Gf ever one of its members again ele.
Yates it,
The exceptions to the rule are the fam.
lily of Confucius, who are hereditary
dukes. and that Of Koxinga, a famous
seaman Of the seventeenth century,
half-conqueror, half-pirate. Our an.
cestors, with all their wisdom, were not
perhaps, as wise as those of the Chinese
at any rate, in dealing with the hered'
itary principle. Mall Gazette.

TWO FORTUNES.

Two sisters with their arms entwined,

Before fortune-teller, bowed with age,
Who slowly turns with feeble, faltering

morn;
One like the flower which blooms in au-
tumn late,
The other like TO Springs pale, sad first

Together there they wait to learn their
fate.

An Ancient Cemetery on the Nile.

An ancient Egyptian metropolis has
been discovered in the Lybian desert, op-
posite Assuan, on the left bank of the
Nile. Among the tombs already opened
are several which date apparently from
the twelfth dynasty (B. C. 30O0). They
consist of two or more halls or chambers,
connected by corridors, the roofs being
supported by columns and the walls dec
Grated with colored bas-reliefs in brill

appear to belong to members of noble,
if not royal, family. The cemetery is
apparently of great extent 1t was dis.
covered by Gen. Grenfell, who is busily
clearing out the tombs with the help OF
English soldiers. The largest tomb,
usurped by later comers, was found piled
to the ceiling with mummies, mummy
cases and funeral furniture of Roman
times.-New Orleans Times Democrat.

The Fashionable Drink Of the Day.

Whether it is because of the present
mania for everything English or not, /,
is hard to say, but without doubt the
fashionable drink Of the day here, as in
England, is tea. II is said to be a more
healthful drink than coffee, which, with
Americans, has heretofore had the pref

ing and very restorative, and, too, ha,
the advantage Of being 30 much NOR,

No Inherited Titles of Mobility.

II may strike the superficial observer
of Oriental usages as peculiar that in the
Ottoman dominion there are no titles of
nobility, no aristocracy or inherited titles.
The sultan himself is no more, in the
sight of the Koran, than his meanest
servitor. The lowest slave to-day may
become grand vizier tomorrow. In
fact, many Of the present ministers have
arisen from the humblest walks and avo.
cations to their exalted positions. THE

"oUTcASTp DECORATIVE ARTS.

Leather Work and Pspier Maehe-Sten-
cling and Other Mechanical Methods.
There are certainly truly honest and
original decorative arts which. so far as
general appreciation is concerned, par
ticularly that of amateurs, might as well
be called lost or sham. Leather work
was, till very recently, one of these. l
have heard a clever woman speak of it
with contempt, as mere imitation Of
wood-carving, which at best produced
only trumpery leaves and flowers, and
-she knew all about it," But in fact she
knew next to nothing about it, and
much less of CUR builli and stamped
work.
Papier mache is another of these out
casts, which are condemned by fashion
and art-priggery as lacking in truth, ="
simply because very few are acquainted
with its remarkably varied forms OF
capacity. A third is stenciling which is
very little practiced save by workmen,
principally because it ranks as a merely
mechanical method OF ornamentation,
and such as is quite unworthy the atten-
tion of the painters of flowers or mir
rors, or Of aquarelles, which, as regards
any ideal, are, perhaps, not one whit be-
yond Berlin woodwork. The reader
who has ever seen dozen average pupils
under a third-rate teacher. all painting
together with the idea in common of
simply attaining uniform and identical
manner of mere execution, will agree
with me when say that it is all quite as
much mere fancy work." as the making
of wax-fowers or sealing-wax coral
baskets.
Now, it is characteristic of this age
that, as regards the amateur, il is sub
stituting the minor arts for mere fancy
work. Such feeble painters as those of
whom have spoken, who attempt in
vain some mere imitation of higher art,
simply because they have not gone
through such preparatory training az
the minor arts in great measure supply,
would find it impossible to produce a
good vigorous piece of stenciling, be.
cause they would be deficient in the eye
for effect, and the peculiar inventive
power which such work demands and
develops.-Art Journal.

The Evolution Of the Tomato.

The evolution of the tomato is going
on in a remarkable way. Not many
years ago the fruit was mostly skin and

the seeds will yet disappear altogether

nanced the pretention, if any federalist
could have been found so bold as to contend
for the right to tax the people of Virginia,
for that is substantially the proposition, to
educate the children of New England, or
pice versa? All honor to Ran. Tucker for
his opposition to scheme, popular to day
it may be in the South with those who knnw
no better than to believe it ia intended
as q blessing for our section, but the
astute, long headed Yankee knows better;
he knows that The time il not distant
when the South, fast growing rich
with her cotton and tobacco; her multiply
ing factories of every description; her ex-
haustless stores of minerals, ores and pre-
cious metals her countless herds upon her
thousand hills; her cereals and fruits, will
be called upon to return dollars for every
cent she may receive for the purposes of
education, if this rank federal measure, the
wise scheme Of provident New England to
secure free education for its children in this
instance, should not be sanctioned by the
guls and confding people of the South and
mighty West.
Again I say all honor to John Randolph
Tucker, and if he retires from the position
he has filled with such honor and credit to
himself and his State, may it be to be ad-
