Southern Chivalry.


WASHINGTON, Jan 5.-The State
Department is just now occupied with
a genuine "Southern Outrage" case,
and one of the most dastardly outra-
ges, too, that Southern chevaliers
ever perpetrated. Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, British minister, has officially
laid before Secretary Blaine the facts
in the case of Rev. Thomas M. Join
er and his wife, who were attacked
by band of eight white men on the
night of Dec 20. Their home near
Greensboro, N. c., was burned, they
were shot and beaten, and were final
ly driven from the neighborhood.
Their heinous crime was that Mrs.
Joiner had set up little school for
young negro children, and was teach
ing them to read and write. Mr..
Joiner is an Englishman, at least con-
structively, but to all intents aud pur-
poses he is an America. Since 1869
he has lahored among the colored
people of the South, but he has never
been naturalized. One by one, min
listers of the North Carolina confer
ence sent to work among the colored
people, have been driven out by
whites. Mr.. Joiner alone had re-
mained. He is over 20 years of age,
and his wife is but few years his ju-
nior. They have spent the last &c
years of their life working among ne
groes, Mr.. Joiner preaching and his
wife teaching children to read and
| write.

The will of the late Farley Starr
of Brattleboro has been probated.
There are provisions for about $780,
900 in special bequests, including
$4,000 to the Universalist church So
ciety, while the balance of the estate
goes to his four children.

The American Agriculturist offers
$500 in prizes for best one acre of
potatoes grown in New England.
The Vermont Agricultural Society
will give in addition, if the first prize
is taken by Vermont farmer, $500,
making the total cash obtainable for
the best acre Of potatoes, if grown in
Vermont, $500. If the first prize
crop is not grown in Vermont, the
Vermont state agricultural society Of
fers 5000 for the largest yield grown
in this competition in Vermont, divi-
ded into prizes of 500, $50, $25, $15
and $40. Vermont is peculiarly a
potato-growing state, and we shall be
surprised if she does not capture the
grand prize this year. In this con-
nection, it is interesting to note that
the Mapes Formula and Peruvian
Guano Co. of New York will give
$500 if the grand prize crop is grown
on its fertilizer, while the Bowker
Fertilizer Co. offers $500 for the lar
gest crops grown in this competition
on the Stockbridge potato manure or
the Bowker hill and drill phosphate.
1t is therefore possible for the first
prize crop, if grown in Vermont, to
realize over $1,000. The second prize
crop could take $500 or over, and SO
on. The full details of the contest
will appear in the American Agricul-
turist for February.

OF premiums is only limited by the
number of exhibitors. Another valu-

the list of premiums, The American

to every exhibitor for one year, max
ing in connection with the Mirror and

$500. for which to compete. Should
the number of exhibitors be 200 the

Some women will take n dose or so Of

some do find marvclously speedy effects

generally slow In their inception, slow

UNNECESSARY REQUESTS.

The league that has been formed in Can
ada to ask that when the Dominion shall
assert her independence and set out to
gam It, the other American nations will
lend their moral if not material support, is
an unnecessary organization. Canada has
but to ask for independence, when it will
be granted without protest on the part of
the mother country. Great Britain would
not be so unwise as to attempt to hold by
force great and enlightened colony like
Canada, the latter having expressed q de-
termination OR even desire to be free
Fifty or a hundred years ago the separation
could have been brought about only by a
war, and the colony would have gained
independence only when England could
not longer maintain the union by force
Times have changed since then, and en-
lightened nations maintain their supremacy
over enlightened colonies only because the
latter prefer it. If Canada were to tire of
the relations as they now exist, and should
declare her independence Great Britain
would say, in effect, we are sorry for you,
but goodbye and good luck to you. If
England were not to say this and should
set out to maintain her authority over the
Dominion by force of arms, how foolish
she would be. 1t is believed that with
the advantages which Canada possesses
it could beat back and defy
any military force that Great Britain
could send against the colony; but if
Canada could not do this single handed her
neighbor, the great republic, would cheer
fully lend her all the aid required, and do
it without solicitation.
Up to this time the relations between
Great Britain and Canada have been more
to the advantage of the latter than the
former. The Dominion has been a source
neither of revenue nor strength. The time
is near at hand, however, when Canada
will be really valuable to the mother coun-
try, but when it arrives dissolution of
the union will be beneficial to our northern
neighbor.
The league referred to, of which men
ton was made in our dispatches the other
day, does not know the temper of the gov
eminent and peoples of the American con
tinent if it entertains the slightest doubt
that Canada would receive their moral sup
port in any struggle which had for its
object the gaining of independence.
