A Home View of the Negro.

Frederick Douglas believes that
tn" condition Of the Negro is worse
than it was just after the war. IIo
pictures tho old shareholders us de-
lighted with the new order of things,
hrr;lIlsr llr can make more out of the
Negro bv the truck system than he
could from the slaves. Ii by tho
truck system Douglas means the ten
ant system, hr might have %lid that
many whit" farmers We're also worse
| off than twenty years ago. Hon l..
q. $. Lamar recently declares in an
trrvirw that agricultural progress
had not kept pace with the growth
OF the South in other respects. The
credit system, the nigh rate of inter-
est, 4 he scarcity of easy loans have
| operated against the tiller of the
soil. and tiles" disadvantages arcnot
confined To the owner or to the ten
ant, to white or To black. The
truck and credit systems have
ruined them both, and the country
store has l"~omca IL c,Istom-housc to
levy trihnt" upon the planters. JUS
tirc Lamar, himself II Mississippi
t;irmcr, says OF the rolorcd people:
Most of the old Negroes otthc South
are honest, faithful and indus
trions. and many of thcm are
thrifty and many of them are rich,
but the Young fellows who were chill

lnwlrss and Independent, hanging

is i; vast army of these sliftless
oilers, who arenotcsscntially vicious,

of crime" Frederick Douglas is cor
rect when he intimrtcs that the slave
holder is relieved of an immense re-
sponsibility. Unsatisfactory rs the
c,oppcr sometimes is, VIC would not
have him again as IL slHre but
this is not because we wish to make
money out of him. Thousands of

The SIMS Energy.

Tie most satisfactory WAY of az
irving ut I'm i,lc;, of the enormous
energy oftle sun is by measuring the
amount of heat which his r,ys are
capable of generating; and further,
ly our knowlr,l 90 of the relation
which exists between heat nul me-
c'ianical work. VIZ urc able at once to
estimate the amount of work which
the sun is capable of doing, and also
the quantity of energy he must bc
losin" year by year. BY suitable nr-
ringrnnrnts we can cause n certain
quantity of his radiation to he alb
sorbrd by water or other substance,
and note the risc of temperature
which results and us We know the
mechanical equivalent of each degree
OF te'nprrntur" i'll water, for instance.
II is only Il matter of calculation to
arrive at Il knowledge of the suns
total energy. Like everything else
connected with this wonderful body,
figures gives us. says the Scotsman,
II" ndrqunte conception ofl,iscnrrgy,
nnl various illustrations have been
used by different invest igntors. Thus,
llrrslml considered it in relation to
the quantity of lee which it would
melt In II given time, nnd states that
the amount of heat which tho earth
receives when the sun is overhead
would melt nn inch thickness of ice
i'll two hours and thirteen
minutes. From this it
can lr calculated that if
til" body of the sun were entirely sur
rounded bv II sheet of ice on its sur
face of more than IL mile in thickness,
I'll" suns heat would entirely melt
this coating Of ice in the same time
namely, two hours and thirteen min
ut"s. Prof. Young uses and even
molr. striking illustration. lie says:
"If we could build up II solid column
of ice from the earth to the sun, two
miles and Il quarter i'll diameter.
spanning the incOncciv;blc abyss of
ninrty-thnr million miles. and if the
sun should concentrate his power up
on it, il would dissolve and melt. not
in nn hour, not in II minute. but in n
single second; one swing of the pen
dulum and it would be water, seven
nor" and it would he tlissipntcd in
vapor." Of course. of this enormous
quantity Of heat the earth receives
but IL very small fraction. The re-
naindrr. except, of course, what the
other planets receive, passes nwayin-
To spnen and is lost forever, so far us
can !m nscrrtainrd, to the solar sys-
ten. five estimate in mechanical
power what we do receive, We find
this to ln Oh each square foot of sur
face equivalent, on an average, to
about fifty tons raised Il mile high
yearly. or to onr-llorsc power con-
tin,l"nsly acting. to every thirty
square feet of the c;lrth's s,lrfnrr. 1t
is by this enormous supply ofcncrgy
that the whole world is kept nlivr
and active. II keeps US warm and
drives our steam engine und water
wheels. il rilalllHtcs our atmosphere
and brings lis rain and snow in due
season. il grows and nourislncs our
plnnts and animals, and. in Il word, is
the source of almost every earthly
blessing.

who'll take me to lisheart and make

"Tllosc patagons are u pnck of

None of them wants to marry a
beautiful queen, who converses in

"Ah, no, you cannot understand:
