TIE Now York Sun snrs.

"The two great story-tellers Of this coun-
try are Evsn i. Howell, of Atlanta, and Z.
O'Brien Cowardn. OF Richmond. II Il de-
lightiul to hear either Of them; but when
taken one sfter the other they are resistess.
"Cowardin l. successful and cnvisble
journalist; but II he had adopted the comic
stage he would surely have taken the cake"
We hope that in this sllusion 10 our con-
frere, Bre'r DANA does not mean the "comic
stage" Of journalism. In the language OF
an American humonst-TwAlN 1t was, we
tbink-thaps worse than being a second.clas
land pirate on a small salary with no share
in the profits.
But IN this connection il may be said that
a good many Of the parsgrsphers do not
seem to have gagged appreciatiyely Bre'r
DANA and another venerable gentleman who
is intimstely associated with the newspaper
business OF the country, seeing that The fol-
lowing from a letter TO the Charleston News
and Courier, signed J. /. W., appears to
speak for the members Of the Southern Press
Association, which body recently met IN
Chattanooga:
"Tbe gruf and caplious editor Of The
New York sun, as pictured in his own
pages, has been efTsced from my mind by
pleasant intercourse with that courteous
gentleman and scholar Mr.. Charles A. Dana
Never again will think OF the President Of
the Western Union as tyrant and grind

Of that benevolent old gentleman Dr. Nor

A Difference.

The 81. Louis Globe-Democrst, which has
a genius for lodging facts when referring 70
southern matters and southern leaders, re-
Gently delivered itself As follows:
when southern orators compare Lee
with Washington they are confronted oy
the important fact that while the latter
fought to give men freedom the former
fought 20 keep men in slavery. The parallel
IL thus made 10 fail in a most essential re-
speci, and no amount NJ brilliant rhetoric
can give the matter a different meaning"
The Globe Democrats paragraph Is dis-
ingenious, not to use hsrsher term
WASHINGTON did not fight TO free the me-
eroes, and Lex did not fight to keep them
in slavery. Both WASHINGTON and LIE were
shareholders. but II is pretty well establish
ed that the latter had much less sympathy
with the institution than The former. There
was not a time during the existence OF The
Confederacv that LEE would not have
been willing that the slaves he freed II
that would hsve secured peace and indepen-
dence, but be would never have consented
to emancipation being brought about by I'M
constitutional methods. Northern rhetoric
Of the Globe Democrats kind has tried TO
make It out that LEE was rebel and WASH
INGToy was not, but dry history shows that
lust The reverse was true.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, May q, 1883.
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
notice I'm the Dispatch OF the 26th In
slant. under the head OF " Elections In war
wick and York Counties" that your cor
respondent, among other things, states
"tbat the Democrats had no ticket here
Newport News), and in the other districts
the fight was on the courthouse removal
question, and the anti-removers carried the
day and control the board and the building oil
courthouse here ia q very doubtful thing"
Permit me TO say your correspondent IL net
posted as TO the effect the election VIII have on
inc erection OF the courthouse here, as this
matter has been determined by the vote OF the
people, and orr Circuit Court, in The
cause " CrafIord ct sls. VI. Supervisors OF
Warwick county, has decided the election
valid one. The decree so deciding the cause
has been "sus beaded for sixty days TO ems
able the plaintiffs TO present their petition
for an appeal and suDersedeas 10 the supreme
Court Of Appeals" &c. Nosupersedeas mas
yet been granted and the siXty-day suspen'
sion expired on the DIST day Of May, 1889.
Bv examining The act OF Assembly which
authorized this election, Acts Of Assembly
1SS7JsS, page 400, It is certain that 70 OF
that act compels the Board OF Supervisors TO
erect suitable buildings for county pur-
poses, &c. For these reasons say
the supervisors have nothing 10 do
with tho erection Of the oouri'house
until after the supreme Court OF APP
pe,ls has decided the issue, and II this de-
cision Is 10 favor oi'the removal OF the court
house, then the Board Of supervisors will be
compellable by mandamuS TO erect the
courthouse and other necessary build
ings." As we are acquainted with both the
gentlemen recently eiected, Messrs. Minor
and Curtis. both good Democrats, we are AS
sured they will be ever ready 10 abide by the
decision Of the Court OF Appeals without
requiring msndamus compelling them TO
erect the said buildings. Yours truly,
AIPuA.

ReinfOrcements.

We have abundant evidence that our DIS
cussion with northern journals OF the ques'
tious settled by the war has excited much
interest. When d southerner gets the ear oil
n representatve northern man be ought to
avail himself OF the opportunity to reach the
understanding also. The autsOr OF a book
which has helped US much in the discussion
writes TO us as follows:

Babies of the World.

1t has been computed, says the Leeds
Mercury, that between Sc, 600 900 and
81, OOO, 900 babies are born into the world
each year. The rate of production is,
therefore, about seventy a minute, or
rather more than one for every beat OF
the clock. With the one-a-minute calcu-
latlon every reader is familiar, but it is
not every one stops to calculate what this
means when 1t comes to a years supply.
And it will probably, therefore, startle a
good many to find on the authority of a
writer in the hospital that could the in
fants of a ear be ranged In a line in
cradels seven deep they would go round the
globe. We have the ingenious conclusion
also tina supposing the little ones to grow
up and the sexes to be about equally di-
vided we should have an army 100 times
as large as the forces Of the British EN-
pire, with a wife in addition to every
soldier. The same writer looks at the
matter In a still more picturesque light.
tie Imagines the babies being car
RED past a given point in their
mothers charge one by one
and the procession being kept
up continuously night and day until
the last conner in the twelfth month has
passed by. A sufficiently liberal rate of
speed is allowed, but even with these
babies IN arms going past twenty a minute
tn? reviewing officer would only have seen
a sixth part of the infantine host file on
ward by the time he had been a year at
his post. In other words the babe that
had to be carried when the work began
would be able to waddle onward itself
when a mere fraction of its comrades had
reached the s%aluting post, and when the
year supply of babies was tapering to a
close there would be a rear guard. not Of
