may be interesting to know that, in the last twenty years, more than s100, ,000 worth of pearls have been found in the United States in that family of mollusks known as stunios" or fresh water mussels, the same that abounded at one time in the rivers of Scot- land. It was from pearls found in this kind of shell that the name of ttScoteh river pearls" was taken. It was the fame of these which the historian Suetonius says induced Cesar to send his armies to Great Britain, and it was with the pearls which they secured that he had buckler made which he presented to the temple of Venus Gene- trix.
 Henry Grady skillfully put the case before the Boston merchants when he said: The negro vote can never control in the South, and it would be well if partisans at the North would understand this. I have seen the white people of 8 State set about by black hosts until their fate seemed sealed. Bur, sir, some brave man, banding them to- gether, would rise, as Elisha rose in beleag- uered Samaria, and, tonching their eyes with faith, bid them look abroad to zee the very air "flled with the chariots of Israel and the the horsemen thereof" If there is any human force that cannot be withstood it is the power of the banded intelligence and responsibility of a free community. Against it numbers and corruption cannot. prevail. It cannot be forbidden in the law or divorced in force. It is the inalienable right of every free community-the just and righteous safe guard against an ignorant or corrupt suf- frage. It is on this, sir, that we rely in the South Not the cowardly menace of mask or shotgun, but the peaceful majesty of inc te1ligence and responsibility, massed and unified for the protection of it's homes and the preservation of it's liberty.
 General Taylor, of Tennessee, takes deep interest in the movement to preserve "the Hermitage" as a permanent memorial of "Old Hickory" Writing to the president of the Ladies' Hermitage association, he says: I desire very earnestly and sincerely to con- gratulate and commend you and your coad- tutors upon the very suspicious beginning of your work in rescuing from demolition and beautifying and preserving the home of Andrew Jackson. Tennessee Is proud of the name and fame of her great son, and would gladly undertake alone to uphold you in your purpose. Yet I am constrained to suggest that Andrew Jackson's illustrious name belongs to the nation, and all of the States and all of the people should have equal privilege in becoming participants in this noble work. The privilege should there- fore be extended to every citizen of America to become members of your association and to contribute to it's sustenance, that the Hermitage may become, like Mt. Vernon, a Mecca for patriots; and Tennessee, believe, stands alone among the States in having purchased and preserved for public use the manor of distinguished son, but recogniz- ing the property right of the Nation in his memory, she gladly surrenders to the keep ing of the whole people the sacred duty and privilege of caring for and perpetuating it.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

A great corporation not long ago paid leading lawyer fec of $100, ,0O0. It is relat- ed that in less than month thereafter the leading lawyer lost not only that $100, 1000, but $50, ,000 more, on "point" given him by the president of the aforesaid corporation. No moral.
 The German exporters are pushing their wards, with an energy and determination that afford the best possible proof of the value of his services in detecting and pre- venting the undervaluation of German ex- ports to this country. Honesty and vigilance in American trade representatives seem to be qualities that the Germans have not been used to dealing with, and naturally they do not look with favor on a man who displays them.
 A remarkable funeral procession paraded the streets of Psking few weeks ago. Itwas the formal public celebration of the burial of Tsching Tschu, g Grand Chamberlain and brother-in-law of Prince Kung. The bier was carried by eighty men, preceded by forty eight fag-bearers, eight camels and twenty four white horses. One hundred and sixty men followed, bearing sixteen red blanks on which were painted in many -colored letters the name and titles of the dead nobleman. The whole procession was Q mile and half long.
 Petroleum, says correspondent of Notes and Queries, was known, and even refined, long before it was used in lamps. A French man is said to have spent years in vain en- deavors to construct lamp in which the new oil would burn without smoking. Ac- cidsnt helped him at last. vsxed by failure, he had drained . wine glass-a long necked thin bottle. like oil-Hasks-and set 1t down on the table so hard IS to break the glass bottom. He then chanced to catch it up and hold it over the flame of his smoking lamp. The smoke ceased, and he saw that what he sought was found.
 The Chinese are hard to overcome. They are fairly overrunning the Sandwich Islands. They number one-nfth of the population and nearly monopolize many branches of mercantile business. while there are six Chinese mechanics out of every seven of this class on the islands. The natives feel their predominence keenly, but as the Chinese are the most vigorous and progressive race the islanaers will have to submit to the logic of events. It seems to be their manifest des- tiny to give place to stronger people. The indolent islanders of the Pacific are no match for the hardy and energetic Chinese.

Teachers Institutes.

We are informed that Prof.
Thos. D. Boyd of the Normal
School desires to hold one of the
State Teachers Institutes here
some time in May, a complete
programme Of which will be pub
lisllcd in dua time to give notice.
1t is to be hoped that the teach
ers OF our parish and also Of ad-
joining parishes will take an in
terest in this effort to secure a
better grade OF teachers.
There is no doubt that these
exercises are worth a great
deal to teachers. They are held
and conducted BY the best and
most progressive teachers of the
State. All the late improyeme
ments and new ideas of teaching
are discussed in these meetings.
Let the teachers OF our PARISH
think about this matter and try
and arrange their schools so as to
spend . few days here when the
Institutes are held.
