Gods PlOwshares.

l was walking once, in the early
spring, along a country road. Just
over the stone fence yonder there was
a broad field, smooth as floor and
most exquisitely arrayed in the fresh
spring greenness of its grass. 1t seemed
to me my eyes had rarely fallen on a
sight so lovely. But ripping right
through that smooth and pleasant
greenness there was being dragged a
plow, and the fresh beauty of the fair
sward was being turned under from
the sun and air, and only the ugly
brown soil was being turned outward
aud all the fair and radiant scene was
being changed and Scared Why? |

A Singular Community.

The valley Of Gressoney is one OF the
most beautiful localities in the Italian
Alps. 1t also has a curious history. In
the Eleventh century it was colonized by
German soldiers, 10 whom it had been
given By King Otto in recognition OF
their valiant services 10 him. The de-
scendants of these soldiers, though in a
strange land, have stuck fast TO their
German traditions. They still speak
German and keep up the closest connec-
ton with Germany, which they consider
their fatherland. Their daughters are
educated in the best German schools and
seminaries When the young women
come home from the big cities of the
north, however, they are compelled by
their parents to lay aside their fine Ber-
lin and Frankfort garments TO don the
curious customs of their forefathers, and
70 learn TO bake, and scrub, and wash as
their mothers and grandmothers did be-
fore them. The cleanliness OF the
"Gressonari" has made them famous
throughout Italy. 1t is a proverb that
their barns are cleaner than other peo-
pies houses. German is spoken in the
family, French in the churches, and
Italian in the schools. Consequently all
the Gressonari know at least three lap
guages.-New York Sun.

Terrible Asian Heat

The horror of the heat is unknown TO
us, or indeed to any part Of Europe,
though Naples and Athens are desper-
ately trying sometimes. But to the ma
tive of Scinde, Central Asia, the shores OF
the Persian gulf, the sun Of Greece is but
trihe. The utter helplessness of man
under this infiction adds horror 10 his
sufferings
There is no hope and no resource when
the red hot air penetrates to those under
ground chambers in which the summer
is passed in Central Asia. THE inhabi-
tants," we learn, "are shutting them
selves up to escape"-probably closing
all the apertures of their subterranean
abodes, except those absolutely necessary
for ventilation. The air down below,
under such circumstances, cannot be
imagined by one who has not touch of
experience. Houses Of good class are
solidly constructed under ground, with
chambers and doors and corridors, but
the mass of the people inhabit big holes,
rooted over, with no kind Of permanent
convenience. Every winter the frost and
snow and rain play mischief with these
rough pits. and the damageis not always,
nor often, repaired by the following sum
mer. Fancy thousands Of Mongols in

plain that Malone was not the Moses
who would arise to lead the Southern
Republicans out OF the wilderness OF
continued defeat. All OF our lead
ing Northern Republican exchanges
have fully, though reluctantly ,
yielded to tn irresistible logic of 90
great q majority against the Republican
candidate in this State. In recent ar
ticle in the Evening Post attention is
very properly and forcibIy called to the
very large increase in the Democratic
vote in the white counties in the Valley,
where it is admitted by all that the
election was eminently fair.
As to the comment Of the North
American Reuiew on General Mahone's
article, we have only this to say: That
we have never been able to regard that
periodical with the slightest respect
since it's most unjust and heartless as
sault upon Mr. Bayard over the sigma
ture Of Arthur Richmond" We have
for long time learned to expect of it
nothing but the bitterest partisanry in
spite OF its claim to impartIality.

SEPARATION OF THE RACES IN PUB
Lie CONvEYANCEs.

Lie CONvEYANCEs.
Governor Richardson, Of South Caro-
lima. one OF the ablest and most con-
servative Executives in the South, re-
commends in his annual message
to the Legislature OF his State
that separate cars shall be as
signed, under law, for the accommoda.
ton Of the two races, it being expressly
required, however. that there shall be
70 discrimination whatever in the mat
ter Of comfort, convenience or general
appointments.
The proposition was suggested by the
adoption OF similar plan by all the
railroads entering Columbia on the &C.
casion of the fair that was recently
held in that city. The united testimony
of both whites and blacks is to the effect
that the working of this new plan was
most favorable to the kindliest relations
between the two peoples, to the preser-
walton of peace and good order, and to
the prosperity OF the fair itself.
We believe that similar law has for
some time been in operation in Georgia
with results that are emineDtly satisfac-
tory. In fact, it is law that will pro-
woke criticism only among ignorant and
unreasonable fanatics at the North and
among the members OF that very small
class at the South, represented by the
visionary and impracticable novelist.
George W. Cable. So far as has bee
observed, it is a law that is very accept
able to the negroes themselves, II we
exclude from consideration those aspir-
ing individuals who are influenced by
education or association with Northern
people to encroach upon the social
rights of the whites.
Whatever diminishes the number OF
points Of personal contact between the
two races, undoubtedly removes to
that extent the chances Of personal
conflict. end the more these chances are
lesseued the better it will be for the
negro and the material interests of the
community in which he lives. We
should like TO see general law adopt
ed throughout the South compelling
tue separation of blacks and whites in
all the more important public convey
ances. similar provision being made
for the two races i'm the accommodations
offered. There would be no element OF
injustice in this, for it would be en-
tirely in accord with the determined
feeling which the negro shows in his
social, religious and even political life;
the irresistible tendency of his nature
being 10 withdraw to himself in all
these relations. Such a separation
would add much to the convenience
and satisfaction of the whites travelling
from point to point, for they are often
exposed to much that is Objectionable
and offensive in the public conveyances
under the present system.

Hung 1t Up.

An awkward young countryman, from
Vermont. some years ago entered Bos-
ton warehouse and asked for employ
ment. Hecould do any kind Of "chores,
he said, and boosted of his strength.
"Stout as you are" said one OF the
clerks, 'Tll give you ten dollars II you
will carry that bag Of salt twice across
the store and never lay it down.
The Vermonter stood for a moment,
thoughtfully eying the bag, and then
shouldered it easily enough, carried II
twice backward and forward, walked up
to rope with hook at its end, which
hung through scuttle, and hung the
bag on the hook.

INDUCEMENTS TO MANUFACTURERS

INDUCEMENTS TO MANUFACTURERS.
That there were excellent reasons for
the suggestion that our Chamber Of
Commerce should send representatives
TO Lynn to invite the shoe manufac
turers, whose factories were destroyed
IN the recent fire, to re-establish their
business in this city upon the strength
Of the inducements to be held out to
them, is shown by the fact that five Of
these manufacturers are now in Nor
folk for the purpose of making an ex-
animation of the advantages of that
place. They arrived there on Sunday
last. and were met by a committee Of
prominent and wealthy citizens repre-
senting the Norfolk Chamber Of Com
merce. Ga yesterday they were to
have been received by the Chamber, and
SPECIAL inducements offered to encour-
age them to remove thither for psrma-
nent settlement
In the same way the Chamber Of
Commerce of Danville has taken the
same prompt action, with a similar OBJ
ject in view.
The example Of a'ertness and enter
prise that has been set us by these com
munities, smaller in population and
with less accumulated wealth than
Richmond, might be followed with
profit by the individual citizens and the
commercial organizations of this city.
the day is passed when a community
can afford to await the influx of CAPT
tai without any determined and pro-
longed effort being made to direct it
thiiher. In such instances as that of
the LYNN shoe manufactures we ought
not only to send our representatives to
the spot at once, but our City Council
should convene and exempt such man
ufacturers from taxation for a certain
length of time, if they will settle and
build in our midst.
Such a course of exempting from
taxation should be the general policy
Of Richmond in all cases of manufac-
turers immigrating thither, for the
amount thus lost to our treasury will
be returned four-fold in the increase Of
our population and the larger volume Of
manufactured product turned out to
farther add to the wealth Of the city.

Long AGO royal decree compelled
BARRIERS and hairdressers TO hang at their
door a white basin, SO as to distinguish
them from surgeons, who sheltered
themselves behind a copper basin, and
these basins are still used for sign pur-
poses.
They are Of oval shape, and a small
piece is Clipped out at one end. This is
intended to show that the basin will TIT

But nowadays there are no such basins
inside French BARRIERS shops. You must

Figaro has finished shaving and cutting
you. Then, if you want your hair
dressed. you get back into the chair
and such uncomfortable chairs as they
are too-again, and the fellow recon-
mences.
There are some hairdressers who are
not BARRIERS, but all BARRIERS are hair
dressers, and most of them are also wig
makers. They put some very queer
signs over their shop doors sometimes
There is one old man up by the College
of France who has an oil painting out
side his premises which represents Absa-
lom hanging by his hair TO large tree
while his horse is galloping away in the
distance. and below the following words
are written: IF he had worn one Of our
wigs this misfortune would not have
happened him.

How the Heart YYorkx.

A curious calculation has been made
by DR.. Richardson, giving the work OF
the heart in mileage. Presuming that
the blood was thrown out Of the heart at
each pulsation in the proportion of sixty
nine strokes per minute, and at the as
sumed force of nine feet, the mileage OF
the blood through the body might be
taken at 2O7 yards per minute. z miles
per hour, l6S miles PER day. 81, $50 miles
per year, or 5.l50,sS0 miles in a life
time OF 81 years. The number OF beats
of the heart in the same long life would
reach the grand total Of 2,s69, 10000.
