A NEW DISCOVERY.
tRichmond Whig.]

The 'pretty typewriter is q new
danger to domestic happiness Incl
dental to the improvements OF modern
science. During she past week some
half a dozen married men were re-
po-ted to have eloped with their
"pretty typewriters." Now is the
time for homely or plain girls to learn
typewritiDg. The wives Of the coun-
try are going to draw the line against
beauty or good looks in their hus-
bands confidential private secretaries
and cOpyists. Indeed, we are not
sure that many of them will not draw
the line against the female sex if this
eloping mania spreads much farther,

victs to the penitentiary, one of whom
was Jew named L. Orton, who was
convicted in Carawba OF obtaining

one to suspect that ne was fraud, and
the house he claimed to represent was
written to, when it was learned that he
was entirely unauthorized by them.
He was forthwithed nabbed, and on
trial was convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary. He is the second Jew who

CHINESE VS. COLORED
LABORERS.
New Berne Journal

In the discussion which Mr. Sim
mons had with Mr.. Warner on the
rice clause in the Mills bill he made
a point which his colored constituents
ought to read and remember. Mr.
Warner undertook to compare the
profits made on rice culture with
those made in the cultivation of
wheat and other grains. Mr.. Sim
mons in his reply reminded the zeal
Gus Republicans that they do not
manifest SO much interest for the
colored LABoRER as they do for the
colored VOTER. He said:
''The comparison thus presented is
unworthy Of gentlemen on the other
side. and shows that they do not
understand the facts connected with
the cultivation of rice as compared to
wheat or corn. Everybody who
knows anything about the cultivation
of rice knows that at least twice as
much labor is required to produce
that article and prepare it for market
as to produce wheat or corn or per
haps any other grain, and for this
reason the profit of rice farming are
not so great as wheat raising in the
West, neither is the latter subject to
foreign competition as the former is.
The gentleman from South Carolina
(Mr. ElliotD said, and l repeat it
now, that the protection against
foreign competition afforded by this
bill to the article Of rice will insure
largely to the benefit of the colored
laborers of the South, in whom the
party profess such inter
est, but whom 1 have noticed since l |
come here that party always desert
when the pinch comes.
We do not cultivate rice there
upon the principle that grain is cult,
vated in the West. We cultivate it
upon what is known as the tenant
system" The largest part of the
ice lands in my district are cultivated
ipon this plan, nearly always by
Door men, both white and black, who
,ay the owners of the lands for rent
fixed portion of the crop, the bal
lnce Of which they keep themselves .
or their labor. Thus is presented
he fairest system Of the division of t
he profits Of the product between t
he landowner and the laborer that |
an be devised. The profits, how
ver, either to the landlord or to the
aborer, are very small. Neither the G
andlords or laborers get rich, nor do c
re here behold those sndden accu- t
lulations of fabulous wealth which s
ave come to the owners of many of
ur Northern protected industries. g
What little profit there is, whether it v
omes from protection or otherwise, p
e divide fairly between the tenant Fl
nd the landowner. Il
