Prince Bismarck maintains that the
requirement of language does not imply
talent. He thinks the ear rather than
the mind is cultivated by hnguist. A
Consul recently appointed TO Berlin pes
tered his Minister to present him to Bis
marck. at length an interview was
granted. and, throwing etiquette aside,
the Consul brought his son with him.
Bismarck looked annoyed, but the Con-
sui boldly presented his heir with the
remark 4: "A most remarkable young
man, your Highness-he speaks several
languages. "What a fine waiter the
young fellow would make" said Bis
marck, coldly, to the Minister at his
side.

The loss TO the truckers by the freeze
is mainly in retarding the growth and
rpening Of the early vegetables. Two
weeks delay in the maturing crops
means the loss OF thousands of dollars TO
the truckers, as their stuff comes in
competition with the New Jersey truck
ers in the northern markets. The sun
is out hot to. day. and a few days OF such
weather will soon eilace the effects OF
the frost and the truckfields will be "a

salt water there was not much damage.
Early Irish potatoes, which were well
advanced, suffered most severely. The

if they do not refuse there will be Re-

the hope Of running in between the

Organic Union.
rBy telegraph TO tho Dispatch

y
LOUISVILLE, KY. April 27.-The Pres
bytery of Louisville has adopted the fol-
lowing concerning the union OF Northern
and Southern churches:
Sin reference to the question OF union
between the Presbyterian Church in the
United States OF America and the Pres
byteran Church in the United States.
commonly designated as Northern and
Southern Presbyterian Churches. the
Presbytery of Louisville, now in session,
expresses the following iudgment-viz.
Until orr northern brethren can see
their way clear to adopt the policy Of
organizing the colored people of the
northern States into separate churches,
presbyteries and synOts of their own,
and until there shall be a clearer and
fuller understanding brought to bear
upon the minds of many OF our people
in reference TO their Interpretation and
application Of those points of our com
mon ecclesiastical pohty that now deal
with such questions, We Judge that the
quiet. peace, and prosperity Of both
Churches will be best secured by ceasing
TO agitate or prosecute the question OF
organic union, at least for the present
We have reached this judgment from
opinions expressed among ourselves as
well as the opinions and judgments that
come TO rs through various sources from
different parts OF our Southern Church. -
Whatever, therefore, may be the iudi-
vidual views. feelings, and desires OF
some of the members OF this presbytery
in regard to the great question OF organic
union, yet. for the sake of harmony, and
to await the unfoldIngs OF God proyi-
dence in the future, We do now all join
in the above expressed Judgment. And
while expressing ourselves thus, we at
the same time affirm that we cherish to-
ward our northern brethren most kind
and fraternal feelings. We admire their
learning and ability, acknowledge their
piety. zeal, and enterprise in preaching
and extending the spread and triumphs
of the Gospel, commend their interest in
and their labors for the intellectual and
spiritual advancement of the southern CO.
lored people; believe they are Of hike
faith ard order with ourselves, and do,
therefore. most heartily rejoice in their
growing power and prosperity Their
standards Of doctrine and church order
are our standards, whatever differences
Of views may obtain between them and
us in reference to the exact interpreta-
ton Of the few points contained IN these,
Hence their success everywhere IS IN
part at least our success. We are one in
true scripturl sense, even in the absence
OF n visible or accomplished organic
union.

Teaching the Grew a Lesson.
milwaukee, Wisconsin,


On a recent cruise of the United States
man-of-war Michigan a sailor, who is a
Chicago man, attempted to throw an ex-
hausted quid of tobacco over the rail into
the water. His aim was bad and the quid
fell on the deck. An officer observed it.
He would not allow the sailor 10 touch it,
but ordered the entire crew to rig up O
gun-tsckle. The gun-tackle is q haw-
ser 81 inches thick and weighs $500
pounds. Being seldom ifever used, it was
slowed away in the hold and covered up.
To get it on deck and rig il up is long,
hard task. But the gun-tackle was
rugged up, and the commanding officer
attached to it silk thread. He made a
loop in the thread. lassoed the quid Of
tobacco, made it fast, all hands gave a
long pull and a strong pull, and the quid
Of tobacco was hoisted overheard. Then
the 'gun-tackle was taken down and
slowed away in the hold. 1t required
eleven hours of hard work TO get the
tobacco overheard, and it is the opinion
OF the commanding officer that no more
guilds of tobacco will be thrown on the
deck of the Michigan for some time to
come

A Harrisburg pa. telegram says: A

been made by some workmen who were
tearing down an old building at McKees-

an eccentric citizen OF the place. Built
in with the brick Of tie chimney the

Recent Republican Platforms.

The Baltimore Herald, after review
ing the platforms of the Republicans Of
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Massa-
chusetts, says cit is difficult to imagine
that the Republican leaders OF the North
really believe that there is the amount Of
fraud and intimidation at the South
which they have so loudly proclaimed. "
The Republican leaders do not be-
lieye il and it is a waste Of time trying to
imagine that they DO. The bloody-smrt
features Of the platforms referred to
we're conceived in maliGnancy and dos
peration and uttered IN mendacity.
They are the venomous outgivinSs OF a
political hydra that is making a final
effort to poison the body polite with the
virus OF hate, prejudice, and moral
treason. OF what importance is any
politico-economic question compared
with the duty of throttling this
hydra. The Ohio, Pennsylvania, In
diana, and Massachusetts platforms mean
that the malignants would, il they could,
again enthrone in the South the demon OF
misrule as represented in reconstruction
and make our civilization the prey OF
sectional hyenas. 1t passes comprehen-
sion how any southern man who has the
faintest recollection Of the reconstruc-
ton period can place any other issue
above that involved in exterminating the
last yostige OF the malgnants.

The Amherst Traeedy.

A special to the Lynchburg Ne'cS
from Amherst Courthouse says:
Captain Campbell, who was shot here
yesterday by John l.. Lee, Esq, as
Stated in this mornings Netrs, is still
living to-day thursday, but with
chances of recovery greatly against him.
1t was at first thought that the ball
punctured the bladder, which was found
not TO be so after careful examination,
but it is feared his intestines were.
Peritonitis has developed itself, and it is
doubtful whether he can survive it much
longer. His only children, son and
daughter, both Of whom are grown and
married. are with him. He has no wife,
she having died several years ago. DR..
Bass. of your city, and Drs. Voorhees, and
Thompson, Of this place, are attending
him. John l.. Lee had a preliminary
trial before justice yesterday evening
and was bsiled in the sum of $500 to APP
pear before the County Court at its next
term, the evidence being favorable to
him. The unfortunate affair has cast d
gloom over the town, and much sympa-
thy is expressed for both parties.

ton to its primary objects It has turned
its attention to the inducements that
NAV be extended to immigration, and
from present indications it appears that
some twenty or more northern families
will settle in this town.
The Keepville railroad, which is being
projected, will connect this place with
one of the finest tobacco sections in the
State, and IN addition to the present es-
Establishments of the kind the town may
expect to have large tObaccO-factory IN
the near future. There are fine facili-

The persimmon-tree, or "Fluvanna
