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

Extension of Slavery.
Slavery, as is well known, depended
for its extension on two important crops,
both of which demanded 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 map
will show that the Appalachian system
of mountains widens as we go south
ward from Pennsylvania until it occu-
pies nearly one-fifth of the southern
states, extending sou hward 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
ture of the climate make the land I'M
suited for the EXTENDED culture of either
tobacco or cotton. The result was slav-

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 mics
to behold him. The natural result of
this distribution in the negro population
was that the mountain districts of the
south were separated in their political
motives from the plane country.
When the rebellion occurred the APP
palachian country was region where
disaffection toward the Confederacy pre-
vailed; to "A great extent thxmen cast in
their lot with the north. or at least gave
their sympathies to the Federal cause.

THE MORGAN REGISTER,

A Register intended to include all stations OF
merit that trace in direct male line to Justin
Morgan and having at least one sixty-fourth
OF his blood. All such stations toaled in or
before 1880 are admitted tree. A fee of one
dollar is charged tor registering each stallion
oaled since 1850, and for each mare whenever
foaled. All mares are eligible that have the
descent and inheritance above prescribed for
stations. The first volume, the final sheets
OF which are now being revised tor the press,
will contain about tour thousand pedigrees,
carefully compiled from original sources,
sketch OF the origin and history of the great
Morgan family, and much other new and orig
inal matter. The book will be illustrated with
portraits of Morgan horses, and handsomely
and substantially bound. The price is not yet
fixed, but will be rs low as can be afforded, so
that the work may be widely distributed.
The work has been done throughout on the
plan of first exhausting all practicable means
OF getting and verifying information, discrim-
mating rigidly between what is known and
what is unknown, and setting down nothing
as ascertained which is in doubt. Sources OF
information will be given in each pedigree so
that every reader can verify the work for
himself Full descriptions of the animals reg
istered will be given, and tables showing the
merits of the Morgans rs compared with 9th
er families, for both speed and endurance on
the track, will be appended. Entries will be
received tor short time further, and blanks
furnished on application. Address

There was a hearty rivalry between
the Old and New Bowery theatres up to
the time of the burning of the latter
house. Each had its patrons, and they
were uncompromising supporters of their
favorite place of entertainment. The
little story of the two boys who met on
a corner of Canal street will illustrate
the feeling in that part of the city when
the rivalry was at its height.
"Hello, cull!' said one mite, coming

A COLD.

1t was only common cold. John had
many worse cold and got over it. This
would wear off as the Others had done;
so it was neglected and neglected until
steady pain came in the chest, and a
slight, but not very distressing cough
became constant. But John did not
mind the pain-he ignored it, and went
on with his work as though pain meant
nothing. After time he began to grow
thin and weak, and an attack of dysen-
tary compelled him to call in a physician.
The physician discovered his condition,
and by this time infiltration was well adj
vanced in the right lung. Now the fight
for life became serious, and it all came
from common cold that taken at first
could have been easily cured. The ply
stefan, being an experienced practitioner,
recommended Downs Elixir, and John
used it faithfully and pulled through:
but how much better it would have been
had John bought bottle of the Elixir at
once, and taken dose on going to bed
and walked up the next morning clear as
a whistle.
In view of the fact that the season of
colds and coughs is now at hand, we call
the attention of our readers to the adver-
tismeut of Downs Elixir, which will be
found in another column Advt As ;1w.

DAM OE GEN. HAVElOCk.

Editor Horse Brecder:-In your issue of
Oct. IL saw an inquiry about the dam
of Gen. Havelock: | have been looking
for an answer. but have not seen one yet,
and as have knowledge of his breed
ing from a letter which received from
the man who bred and raised him, | will
give his pedigree as stated by him.
Gen. Havelock was bred and raised in
the town of Havelock, Kings county,
Province of New Brunswick, by MIR.
Ebenezar Ryder, now residing at Cold
Brook, st. John Co., n. b. This horse
was sired by Deertield Morgan, he by
Hale's Green Mountain Morgan. His
dam was by Livingston, he by imported
Trustee. Lvingston's dam was Itasca, a
a daughter of American Eclipse. Gen.
Havelock's second dam was by an
English blood horse known as the Roach
Horse; third dam by thoroughbred
horse known as Wild Deer.
Livingston was imported from Long
Island, State of New York, to the Pro-
late Hugh Monagle of Sussex, y. b., as
was also Deerfied Morgan, brought from
Massachusetts. 1t is not surprising that
a stallion by Deertield Morgan, whose
ancestors had been Inbred for two or
three generations among the best of the
Morgan family. united with some of the
most noted strains of these plastic thor
oughbreds, should prove to be what Gen.
Havelock was. With such an inheritance
it was very easy for him to carry of
many first premiums wherever he was en-
won at Fredericton in 1870. among field
of twenty-five of their best stations.
He, as usual, took the highest honors
here.
Though his stock was never thorough
ly trained for trotters, taking them as a
lot they were unequalled as roadsters.
Lady Sussex (2:32) is no disgrace to pro-
duce among so many poor-blooded mares,
though it is stated on good authority that
Cen Havelock could trot a mile in , 20
and was sold for $1,000. 1t would afford
some of the readers of the Breeder a
great amount of pleasure to read the his
tory of this Gen. lIayelocli after he went
TO Massachusetts. Let us hear from Mr..
Herrick or some one who knew about
him. b. NJ. T.

He was an old man, bent and gray.
In spite of his unlSmpt appearance and
his poor faded clothes there was a GER
tain nobility in his face that could rot
but attract the casual observer. He sat
in the anteroom of the police court, to-
gether with score of other prisoners.
Upon his knees he held little girl
whose uncared for appearance could not
hide her childish prettiness. She leaned
against his breast and on her head there
fell now and then Il great tear.
What 90 cryin' for. popper:" the lit
tie girl would say when some of these
tears crept beyond her tumbled curls
and down her forehead. Even the sot-
fish crowd about them grew respectful.
The two We're so pathetic.
Finally the mans name was called and
he appeared before the judge. He stated
his case. The charge was some minor
offense. just then the little girl. who
had begun to realize that her father was
in some danger. crept near. The judge
caught sight of her. The child crept up,
in spite of the gaze fixed on her from the
bench, and chung to her fathers hand.

1T is, your honor; my motherless

The sternness died out of the eyes of
the judge and moist tenderness took
its place. He was IA father himself. He
raised his handkerchief without shame
to wipe away the gathering dimness.
Il cannot do it," he said within him
self. Then, looking at the prisoner be-
fore him, he said, in voice choked with
feeling:

Rapidly Attained Wealth.

The recently removed president of the
Argentine Republic was three years ago,
1T the time of his election, poor lawyer,
poor in attainments as well as in purse.
In fact he was not worth, all told, 81 900
when he was made president, and after
getting the benefit for three years of a
$4,000 salary he is now immensely
wealthy.
This speaks well for the perquisites of
good Office, but it is true of every
Office in proportion to its Importance.
Anything or anybody in the republic
can be bought, the only question being
price. President Celman's full name?
Well, it is Senior Don Miguel Juarez
Celman.
He now has $4,000, 900 in London, or
is currently believed to have, and it is
nothing more than reasonable, for it is
known that the Buenos Ayres Water
Works company, an English syndicate,
paid him an immense sum for the priv
leges, and this is only one instance of
many. He also owns splendid palace
in Buenos Ayres and large and well
stocked ranch in the province of Cor
dova, of which his brother is governor

SEVEN WONDERS OF coReA.
Some Very Remarkable Natural Curiosi-
ties That Are worth Seeing.

Some Very Remarkable Natural Curiosi-
ties That Are worth Seeing.
Corea, like the world of the ancient,
has its "seven wonders" Briefly stated
they are as follows:
First-A hot mineral spring near Kin
Shantao, the healing properties of which
are believed to be miraculous. No mat
ter what disease may afflict the patient
dip in the water proves efficacious.
Second-Two springs situated at a
considerable distance from each other;
in fact, they have the breadth of the en-
tire peninsula between them. They
have two peculiarities. When one is
full the other is always empty: and not
withstanding the obvious fact that they
are connected by a subterranean passage
one is of the bitterest bitter, and the
other pure and sweet.
Third-The third wonder is Cold Wind
cave, cavern from which wintry
wind perpetually blows. The force of
the wind from the cave is such that
strong man cannot stand before it.
Fourth-A forest that cannot be eradi-
Gated. No matter what injury is done
the roots of the trees, which are large
pines, they will sprout up again directly
like the phenix from her ashes.
Fifth-The fifth is the most wonderful
of the seven natural curiosities of the
peninsula. 1t is the famous floating
stone" 1t stands. or seems to stand, in
front of the palace erected in its honor.
1t is an irregular cube of great bulk 1t
appears to be resting on the ground, free
from supports on all sides, but strange
to say. two men at opposite ends Of a
rope may pass it under the stone without
encountering any obstacle whatever
The sixth wonder is the "hot stone,
which from remote ages has laid glow
ing with heat on top of Il high hill.
The seventh and last Corean wonder is
"A drop of the sweat of Buddha. For

which it is enshriued not blade of grass

The following method for making
paper transparent for copying drawings
is adopted by the Austrian photographic
bureau: The sheet of paper being placed
over the drawing to be copied, it is light
ly rubbed with a ball of cotton saturated
with pure benzine. The tracing can then
be readily made, owing to the transpar-
ency produced, and the benzine ON evap-
Grating leaves the paper Opaque as be-
fore, and perfectly odorless. To secure
satisfactory results, however, absolutely
pure benzine must be used.

In 1867, during my first year of the
atrical life, | was member of small
travelling "Black Crook" company, I'M
der the management of the late Tom
Davey. We were playing small towns
in Wisconsin and Minnesota. One cold
January night found us in little town
in Wisconsin. where the theatre and ho-
tel were under one roof. and owned and
run by one man.
The man has been in recent years well
known to professionals. and there are
many stories extant of his peculiarities
He was very wealthy. but confirmed
miser. A stranger entering his hotel
would invariably pick him out as the
porter. and indeed he performed the
most mental Offices, even to backing the
boots Of his guests if asked to do so.
Yet he always kept a good hotel. On
"show" nights he cleaned out the dress
ing rooms AMI acted as janitor in gen

From the = cOnd story of this hotel
| there was hallway leading to the stage.
The actors were usually assigned to the
rooms along this hall. and would occa-
siouall+ use their rooms as dressing rooms
at night. a proceeding to which the old
man seriously objected. The old man
would watch the doors like cat, and as
soon as room was vacated he would
let himself in with pass key, and if the
gas was left burning he would turn il
out He would also gather every stick
of wood from the rooms and redeposit
