worse morally than the men who owned
slaves, as Washington. did up to the
time of his death. Mr.. Iglenart waxed
eloquent upon the virtues prevalent at
the present day in spite of the corrup-
ton which is said to exist"
He forgets the origen of slavery
and is entirely unmindful OF its ben
ehcial affects upon the progress OF
the country. Whatever may be said
now against slavery and however I'M
willing we may be ever to see it
again in this free land of ours, yet, we
cannot deny that the institution. in
the infant days of the republic, con-
tributed to the country's welfare and
prepared it, even more largely than
anything else beside, for the present
high state Of advance in all that we
are accustomed to pride ourselves
upon as preeminent in material bless
ing
That slavery was abused there can
be no doubt but, that it was sanctioned,
till abused, by the God who made it
subserviant to His glorious purposes
respecting our republic, facts, affects
and consequences abundantly testify.
Boodlers are moral thieves and civil
renegades, slave owners were, for the
most part. gentlemen and, like our
Washington, christians in deed and
in truth.

.'He claimed, with every respect to

THE Partisan fnancier, Baron
Granger, having completed his travel
over the railroads of the South, re-
Gently made in the interest of syn
dictate which is DESTROYS to make
large investments in our southern
section, we may look, with assurance,
for early additions to our industrial
enterprises. The South is bound to
advance. With slavery out of the
way, which was always an insur-
mountable bearier to her progress
save in agriculture, there is nothing
to hinder advance in all the conceiv-
able interests and demands of our
large and most susCeptive country.
The South is entirely free from
capable hindrance and, with its
climate, soil, mineral wealth and
abundant water course, it is bound
to go ahead if political legislation is
not resorted to in prevention through
prejudice, hate and envy. Our only
fear arises from the political brigands
of the North who despoil US of any
and all possibility for the sake of
party permanence. Let only the
bloody shirt be buried and let From
envy hatred and malice" become,
nationally, liturgical and we will see
a country more opuIently and more
splendidly grand than the dream OF
poets or the freaks of fiction ever
fancied.

THE sixth music festival, Peters
burg, Va, begins 21st and closes
24th of this month. The programme
is said to be the most attractive ever
offered south of New York. These
festivals demonstrate the fact that
Southern talent is not behind, in any
respect, that of any section of the
civilized world. In beauty, intelli-
gence, virtue and general culture our
women are surprising and, in genious
strength of mind and intellectual
power, our men are the compeers Of
any in all the present age.

Gov. LEE, in the course of his
speech, at the banquet given by the
resident Virginians of New York
during the centennial celebration in
memory of Washington, said most
truthfully:
1.-The Old Dominion State is not done
yet. When the time comes again to
fight under the star spangled banner, to
the brilliancy of whose stars she con-
tributed SO much, you will find her
abreast with any State, her sword as
bright as ever when it was drawn in her
own defense in the war with the States.
She rejoices in this celebration. and
feels proud and happy that the whole
country has given such recognition to
one of her greatest sons, George Wash
ington."

Playing socon.. Fiddle TO Superior.

ject of bridging their canal so as to
make Park Point Of some value takes
the GROUND that the government has no

the letter as follows: In commercial
view, Minnesota Point is to the lake

surmountable artificial barrier to the

along the Superior coast gives to Wis

If Duluth wishes to retain her com
mercial position, and not play second
fiddle to Superior, she must invoke the
power which her legislature possess 10
authorize some civil or commercial cor
poration to bridge the canal, and this

The Federal government possesses
no constitutional power to interfere

"Esaainr Day" In Australia

\ hard and tough compound, known
rs dampr, is used as bread by the people
Of Australia. Judging from its consist
told, that "baking day" does not come
very often on the sheep runs. The
author of wild Life" thus describes the
making Of dampr:
Mike, the shepherd, brought out an
empty -four sack, carefully folded it IL
two laid it upon the ground, and spread
over it about five pounds Of flour. Clear
ing space III the middle Of the heap,
sometimes in the way that builders mix
mortar, he filled it with water, and
worked the flour IN for half an hour,
when the dough WAS SO stiff that, patted
out into a cake three inches thick, it
might almost have kept its shape when
trundled along the ground
His helper had by this time made q
fire large enough to roast a sheep. Mike
pulled off the half burned brands. leav-
ing mass of glowing cmbers. Raking
these together he stirred them to drive of
all the dust, and then with a long stick
worked them away from the center.
Into this clear space upon the bare, heated
ground, he sliIlfully dropped the great,
cheese shaped cake of dough. and lift it
some minutes TO get the outside used to
the heat as he said.
Finally the ember5 We're scraped to-
gether and spread ccer the cake, and
this primitive outdoor oven was left to do
its work. Just before bed time the cake
was Withdrawn from the now powdery
ashes, and the shepherd, tapping it with
his knife handle, remarked, Sounds

Then he set it on its edge inside the
hut to cooI-a well baked danapr."

The Annapolis Naval Cadets.

The plebs, or youngsters, as they
are also called, are at once Quartered on
board a large, old fashioned wooden
frigate. which always lies alongside the
dock, and Goes duty during the school
sessions rs a gunnery ship. The vessel
becomes the residence Of the plebs during
the summer months; here they have
their first experience Of sailor life, and
here, among other things, they first
acquire the art Of sleeping III hammock.
It IS truly an cdifying sight to see these
lads on their first night struggling with
their hammocks.
The hammocks used in the navy, Won
bear III mind, are very unlike those in
which people swing under the trees in
the country. The navy kammocks are
made Of heavy canvas, and are slung
from the beams of the ship. They are
usually hung quite high from the deck,
so that it is not easy for a beginner to
Climb into one with any degree of grace
even if he manages to get in at all.
Usually the novice struggles in from one
side and goes head over heels out at the
other-mattresses, pillows and bed clothes
all accompanying him. After two or
three unsuccessful attempts Of this sort,
however, the grcencst begins to improve,
and one or two weeks of practice is suffi-
Gent to make any one an adept in the
art.-St. Nicholas.

sErnnturcs of a Scientist.

Boussingault spent ten years in South
America, making use of every opportu'-
nifty to study the grand phenomena III
which that region is SO rich, and reaped
as the fruit Of his sojourn an abundant
harvest of observations in many depart
merts of science. His work included
numerous mineral analyses; the dis
coverv of a new mineral, which he
named after one of his teachers, Gay
Lussite; analyses of the milk of the Cow
tree. - of palm wax, of guanos, and of
the thermal waters Of Nenezuela; and

made his analyses Of minerals on horse
back, with tie aid OF portable balance;
he carried a Forth barometer slung over
lis shoulder, with which he estimated
the height of mountains. His methods
of investigation were sometimes extraOr-
dinarily ingenious.
In taking the temperature, for in
stance, III the crater Of Parto, having
found his thermometer inadequate, he
let down some of the tin foil wrappingS
Of his chocolate cakes. The tin was
melted The temperature was, therefore,
higher than the melting point of that
metal. or more than 235 dogs. c. He
then let down a pistol ball, which was
not melted. The temperature was thus
found to be lower than the melting point
of lead or less than 332 degs. c., and
was, therefore, somewhere between the
two extremes. The guide who accom-
panied him on this adventure could not
conceal his nervousness at hearing the
subterranean roarings of the volcano
and, looking into the crater, asked,
What ;f it should burst out?" Then
we should be lost" replied Boussingault

temperature, early in the year we shall
have nothing worse than 20 degrees

the month Of July viii be 50 degrees,
which is 81 degrees higher than the
average. Blake after giving other fig
ures, says the mern temperature for

dicti0ns are so extreme that the author
stakes his reputation upon their full
