NO NEGROES THERE.
A Natural Barrier in the South to the
Extension of Slavery


Extension of Slavery.
Slavery, as is wei known, depended
hor its extension on two important crops
both of which demanded a large amount
of cheap labor and afforded articles
which commerce greatly demands. The
institution rested on the industries of
tobacco and cotton growing. Only
where one of these crops could be profit
ably titled did the institution ever firm
ly establish itself. A glance at the man
will show that the Appalachian system
of mountains widens as we go south
ward from Pennsylvania until it occp-
pies nearly one-fifth of the southern
states, extending southwark SO as to in
clude half of Virginia and North Caro-
lima, considerable part of western
South Carolina, much of Georgia, Ten
nessee and Kentucky and part of Ala
bama.
In this section the character Of the
soil and form of the surface and the ma.
lure of the climate make the land nm
suited for the extended culture Of either
tobacco or cotton. The result was slav-
cry never firmly established itself as an
economic institution in any part 6f this
vast territory. Here and there in the
more fertile valleys few slaves were
employed, but there are counties in this
area where slave was never held. and
where, to this day, a negro is so great a
curiosity that people will journey miles
to behold him. The natural result of
this distribution in the negro DoDulation
was that the mountain districts of the
south were separated in their political
motives from the plane country.
When the rebellion occurred the Ap-
palachian country was region where
disaffection toward the Confederacy pre-
vailed; to a great extent the men cast in
their lot with the north, or at least gave
their sympathies to the Federal cause,
The peoples of eastern Kentucky and
Tennessee and western Virginia-and
generally those of western North Caro-
lima as well-recruited the ranks of the
Federal army.-Professor N. S. Shaler

Consequently They Were So Busily En-
gagged They Passed Their Station.
There was an amusing and instructive
scene the other day in an uptown train
on the Sixth avenue elevated. At Park
place handsome young couple, evident
iy very much in love, got on one of the
middle cars, and settling down in a cross
seat they proceeded without delay to be-
come absorbed in one another, not paw
ing the slightest heed to any one else in
the car. All the passengers watched
them with good natured interest, even
the small boy in the corner, who had
been deeply absorbed in the delights of a
tuppenny dreadful
Station after station flew BY, all un-
needed as far as the lovemakers were
concerned, and the stalwart Adonis' arm
had just settled comfortably about the
waist of his demure companion when
she suddenly gave a little feminine
shrek and made frantic break for the
door. Everybody was startled, no one
more than the young man, who in
stinctively attempted to hold her back.
But she only jerked herself away, and
the onlookers could see that the express
sion of undying love on her features had
given way to, a look Of the most pro-
nounced vexation as she turned on her
companion with the remark:
''Now, knew you'd do it. And was
SO anxious to be on time. Don't make
matters worse by sitting there, but let
us get off before we are carried any fur
Their"
But this isn't our station" expostu-
lated the young man in astonishment.
Il know it isn't. We are far beyond
it. We should have gotten off at Fifty
NINTH
''Well, we haven't reached there yet"
''Of course we have, stupid! Come on
before the train starts up again or I'll
go alone. Don't you SEQ this is Eighty
first?"
Nonsense" exclaimed the Adonis,
getting excited in his turn.
at isn't nonsensel Don't you see
there, Eighty first in big white letters?''
There it was, sure enough; but even
as everyone looked, and the young man
started hastily to gather up some bun
dies that were on the seat beside him,
the train started, and a change came
over the expression of the bride-for a
bride she certainly was. From vexa-
tious flush, the color on her face changed
to dark crimson blush of embarrass-
ment, which grew deeper as the unfeel-
ing wretch by her side burst into loud
laugh, in which all the passengers joined.
The bride didn't say another word, but
simply made her way hurriedly into the
forward car, followed closely by her
sturdy companion, who was trying in
vain to look serious. The little woman
had been fooled by the mirror between
the seats, which rejecting the station
sign from the platform, had turned the
figures around, making 81 out of 49,

A weaItbv Insurance Mem.

Henry B. Hyde, the multi-millionaire
insurance man Of New York, was once an
insurance solicitor and a member of a
small club up town. He occasionally
talked life insurance in a business way
while spending his evenings at the club.
This was not considered the proper
thing by some of the gilded members,
and Mr.. Hyde was notified that unless
he desisted he would be expelled. After
that Mr.. Hyde talked less insurance in
the club but great deal more outside,
and started on career which has made
him one of the richest insurance men in
the country.-Exchange.

Apparent size of the Sun or Moon.

of the sun or moon seen with the naked
eye? Most people estimate it at from
about three inches in diameter to the
size of soup plate. An investigator
says that at distance of ten feet u
silver quarter dollar would conceal the
disk of the sun or moon, as would a

GETTING AT THE TRUTH.
some Sensational Testimony In New Works.
Civic Scandal

New YORK, June 23.-The senate com
mittee this morning heard the testimony
OF Richard Croker, a Tammany leader, in
rebuttal of the sensational evidence given
by his brother-in-law, Patrick Mctann,
some time ago, involving Mayor Grant
and others. Crocker declared that Nc
Cams story To the effect that the witness
had Sls0,OC in satchcl To bribe
the aldermen To confirm Grants appoint
ment tn the commissionership Of public
works, is absolutely untrue in all particu-
lars. No such sum was raised nor
had Mayor Grant raised Ss0.UO as
alleged. The witness asked McCann about
the rumor that $4,000 had been raised to
keep Hubert %. Thompson in that posi-
ton. McCann referred him to Tom Adj
ans, who said he knew nothing Of il.
Tammany was fighting the denomination
OF Thompson. This was i'm 1874. John
Kelly was then alive and boss of Tam

CHOLERA SPREADING

Cured From the Disease In
Nature of This
Years Epidemic.

LONDON, June c3.-Mr. Thomas Henry
Wakely, X. c. r.. editor OF the London
Lancci, Saturday evening furnished the
Daily Ne,rs' special correspondent the fol-
lowing summary Of the progress Of the
cholera epidemic In Europe up To date !:
While watching To see whether cholera
was this year To advance from Mesopota-
mia and Persia Ivy means Of lines Of
human intercourse between those coun-
tries and Southeastern Russia. news has
come that Western Europe is again the
seat Of the disease.
The first place affected was the village
of Pucbla Rugat, in the Spanish province
of Valencia. The village has a popula-
ton Of some 9O0inhabitants. The disease
was first recognized May II, and its an
nouncement was followed by the usual
denals as tn the true character OF the
malady. Then its choleraic character
was admitted, aud lastly came the official
announcement by the minister of the in
terror tn the Spanish court that cholera
did certainly prevail in Valencia, but that
\ IL was not Asiatic cholera.
The present outbreak may he fairly re-
gartlcd as local cholera, or cholera nostra
| rather than cholera newly imported from
| Asia. But the history of the disease IN
| spain is essentially that OF the Russian
cnolera.
In Paris NJ. Constants, on the report o
the sanitary board that the cholera il
Spain is the genuine Asiatic pestilance

touched AT any Spanish port.

pairing temporary hospitals for the Brit

against the pension system and its

against the pension system and its
abuses.
Turpie said he had not heard OF any
charges in Indiana against the admins
tration OF the pension bureau. and he was
not prepared TO say that political bias had
anything 10 do with granting or refusing
pensions.
Hawley expressed hope that the sold.
iers would not get an idea from what had
been said to-day that the senate was Ia
verable TO the payment OF arrears
of pensions or to the equalization
bounties, or To arrange the difference be-
tween paper money and gold. He thought
altogether too much was said about what
the nation owed the soldiers. A promi-
nent feeling i'm his state was that the
needy soldier should not suffer, but that
nothing should he wasted on the man
who did not need pension for his sup
port. True, the soldiers did not want
money wasted. They wanted their suffer
ing comrades aided. They want the glory
OF having fought for their country without
respect TO money considerations.
Finally the discussion closed and n vote
was taken.
The conference report was agreed to by
yeas "A, nays II.
A conference was ordered on the forti-
fication hill and Dawes, Plumb and Cor
man were appointed conferers ON the
part of the senate. The executive session
then adjourned.
