The matter Of locating good farm
ers from the North Central Stat in
Middle Tennessee and North Ala
bama is attracting widespread inter-
est of influential men living in o.
hio, Indiana, Michigan and adjoining
states. There IS strong desire on
the part of many farmers in those
states to get to a country where the
climate and general surroundings are
more favorable than where they are
now. Realizing this condition of af-
fairs, men of standing are taking up
the matter with the purpose of di
recting this movement is the best
way. Within the past few days two
gentlemen have been IN comnunica-
ton with Col J. B. KIllebrew look
ing to bringing to Tennessee several
large colonies from Ohio and neigh
boring States. Mr.. I. S. Deadly and
DR.. S. f George, representing the
Ohio Colonization Association of
Dayton, o., are in Tennessee now
looking for a location in which to
place the fist colony.
AS set forth in the prospectus, the
plan of this associa ion is to enable
persons of limited means to coop
crate in agricultural pursuits by con
tributing small sums of money at
short intervals, thereby creating an
aggregation Of capital for the pur-

THE MAJESTY OF ETERNITY.

Let us imagine ourselves a huge
mountain, the largest on the face of
the earth-a great solid mass of gran
ite rock. And suppose that, once ev-
cry hundred years, a little bird came
flying to the top of the mountain, and
rested there, and merely busted its
beak upon the summit. The time it
would take before the birds beak, with
it's little tap every hundred years, had
completely worn away and leveled the
whole mountain-is only moment Of
eternity. And we have to live through
that. at.-William George.

"ON THE OTHER SIDE"

We 90 our ways in life too much alone;
We hold ourselves too far from all our KIND:
Too often we are dead to sigh and moan.
Too often to the weak and helpless blind;
Too often where distress and want abide,
We turn and pass upon the other side.
The other side is trOdden smooth and worn
BY footsteps passing idly all the day;
Where lie the bruised ones that faint and mourn
Is seldom more than an untrOdden way;
Our selfish hearts are for our feet the guide
They lead us by upon the other side.
1t should be ours the Oil and wine to pour
Into the bleeding wounds of stricken ones;
To take the smitten and the sick and sore,
And bear them where a stream of blessing
runs.
Instead, we look about-the way is wide
And so we pass by on the other side.
o friends and brothers, gliding down the years
Humanity is calling each and all
In tender accents, born of grief and tears!
pray you, listen to the thrilling call!
You cannot, in your cold and selfish pride,
Pass guiltlsssly upon the other side.

THE JEWISH CRIMINAL.

The work of the Society for the Aid
of Jewish Prisoners has been done so
quietly that many will learn of its ex-
istence for the first time when they see
it's report in our columns. Yet we can
not speak too earnestly of the impor-
tance of this work. Chaplains are
provided for all penal and vagrant in
stitutions to conduct religious services
and influence the morals of the in
mates, both adult and juvenile. At
the time of departure from prison they
are looked after and often reconciled to
their families. Furthermore, influence
is brought to bear on those on the verge
of temptation, and many are saved in
this way.
One of the reasons why the valuable
work of this society has been kept so
much in the background, is due to
sentiment that is not entirely credita-
BILE. The Jewish community has tried
to lull itself into the belief that it has
no criminals, or at least none to speak
of. We have no moral right to foster
this "blissful ignorance" any longer.
Prison census reports still largely re-
dound to our honor, when proportions
are compared. 1t were absurd to sup
pose that our ranks should be free from
the crimes we find common to every
order of human beings on the globe.
That so much more than our share OF
misery should have been meted out to
us. would rather tend to contrary con-
clusion. For the hardships arising
from Jewish disabilities, restrictions
and burdens, which are still the lot of
seven -eights of our people, would rather
hasten that despair which is the parent
of so much crime The Russian pale
of settlement, the latest Ghetto, is in
itself sufficient to demoraliZe any peO-
ple. be their antecedents what they
may.
! We have no apology to offer for our
criminals: it would be like apologizing
, for the frailties of humanity. Let us
) honestly face the situation. Some of
our brethren have gone the way of evil
doers, they need our heartiest help, for
2 they are the most unfortunate of all
unfortunates. We should aid them

g ton that attempts to deal with the
e gravest of our social problems.-Ameri

RESPECT FOR WOMEN.

When a man habitually speaks
slightingly of any woman, or of women
as a class, he betrays himself in at
tempting to injure woman. 1t is re-
lated that at public dinner recently,
at which no women were present,
man of this ilk was called upon to re-
spond to the toast woman" He
dwelt almost entirely upon the weak
ness of the sex, claiming that the best
among them were little better than
the worst, the difference being in their
surroundings. At the conclusion OF
his speech, one of the guests rose, and
said: 81 trust that the gentleman, in
the application of his remarks, referred
to his own mother and sisters, and not
to ours" This answer turned his
weapon against himself with ven
geance. A celebrated author says:
"The criterion of mans character IS
not his creed, moral, intellectual, or
religious; it is the degree of respect he
has for women" An eminent clergy
man pays this noble tribute: 81 am
more grateful to God for the sense
that came to me through my mother
and my sisters OF the substantial in
tegrity, purity and nobility of woman
hood than for almost anything else IN
the world" Such golden memories
color the book of life with the beauty
of God.-Ladies Every Saturday.

NEWSPAPERS AND CRIME.

Among newspaper readers there ex-
lists class with morbid craving for
the sensational and criminal, whose
standard of journalistic excellence is
measured by the amount OF human
suffering and misfortune that can be
crowded into single issue. AS news
paper is the product of business con-
Germ, conducted for profit on business
principles, with the object of reaching
the highest possible number of readers,
the catering to this class is question
of business rather than ethics. Com
petitive strife seeks every device for
,outdoing a rival, and in the race for
priority it is but natural that the de-
mands of good taste and morality
should remain unheeded in the eager
ness to dress up the latest sensation in
to readable article. Newspaper pub
licity encourages many of the vices
and dangers to public morality. More
space is devoted to the vapory vulgarl-
ties of leading representatives of the
fistic art than the elaborate discourse
of an eminent divine. The t1ippant
and airy generalities used in chronl-
cling court proceedings leave bad inn
preston on the unthinking reader,
weakening aversion to wrong by the
feeling that vice, after all, is not the
hideous monster that virtue portrays
it. In all cases of sensational rObberies
the glamour of seductive romance is
thrown around the malefactor, paint
ing the profits and excitement attend
ing his villainy in language alluring il
tone, patronizing in diction, and sug
gestive of the manner in which similar
crimes may be enacted with compare
tive safety. The rosy side of wrong
doing always appeals to the light
Drained and criminally inclined, stiflin,
the monitorial promptings of con
science, creating desire for the pros
perity supposed to accrue from Grim
and engendering disregard for lay
by love of notoriety born of the pc
rusal of highly-colored exploits of nal
row-gauge thieves who, for reasons Q
professional pride, permit their Grim
nal career to become newspaper prol
erty. Most people unconsciously forl
their opinions from newspaper expre
sion, relying on others to analyZe tn
merits of case, and, having neithe
time nor means for personal investig;
ton, accept differences for establishe
facts. The value of press opinion

INDUSTRY VS.. IDLENESS.

In making our rounds in the walks
of life we are met by many phases OF
humanity. 1t leads us into train of
thought of what will become OF the
idle boy when he becomes a man. We
are met by the legitimate fruit OF the
idle boy in some of the men we meet
and are led to wonder if they had as
sumed some of the responsibilities of
life at an early age it would not have
made difference and they, too, could
become good and useful members of
society whose example might be fol-
lowed with profit by the rising genera
ton.
The busy boy will invariably make a
busy man and the busy man is what
makes the world hum today. AS we
look about us and study the makeup
of individuals, more especially GER
tain class of boys, we are lead to won
der what position in life they will
attain by working out their indirect
plans, or we might more properly state
no plan of action for the future. But
take the busy and active boy, you find
him on his way to school with his
books under his arm and he is always
punctual too, another point that will
stand him in good stead in after life,
and the punctual boy seldom has poor
lessons. He is ever ready to learn, and
to obey his superiors and will stick to
his books and the knotty problems
they contain until he has mastered
them all to the satisfaction of his in
structOrs. When he has taken a
thorough course at any of our high
schools and is not in position to take
a college course, his faithful habits
will have attracted attention and that
kind of a boy will easily secure
position that will cause him to advance
step by step in all his future life.
The above is only type and we art
sorry that every boy in the land does
not see it to his advantage to follow
in his footsteps. Another type is TIN
boy that goes to school an indefinite
number of years and as he advances
magnifies his own Importance befor
the eyes of everyone in such degre
that when he has arrived in the neigh
borhood of his fifteenth year he woul'
:. ;. make it appear that he knew NOR
, than his teacher. This is the DANCE
!. period in this boys life. The bus
:, boy, just spoken of, has gradual
;. learned to master himself. Not so wit
our other boy. He has not starte
:. that process. He has now run u
~ against an obstruction that, unles
overcome, will, sooner or later, dwal
all his future prospects in life. Energ
and perseverance are two of. the prlm
'e requisites in boy that would succee
- in life and be true man. Abraham
:. Lincoln had those qualities, vel
= marked, in his character, so had all tt
. other public men of distinction v
~ y. might mention. The idle boy is SUI
~ ~ to grow up to be shiftless man al
~ ~ such man has no place on Gods foe

as the Transvaal. was originally formed
by part of the Beers, who left the Cape
Colony for Natal, but quilted that colony
on its annexation to the British crown, says
the New York Herald. In 1852 the inde-
pendence of the Transvaal was recognized.
The legislative power of the state is now
vested in first and second volksraaden,
of twenty-four members each. To the first
chamber only those born in the colony
can be elected, while aliens who are natur-
allied and own property in the state can be
elected to the second chamber, whose func-
tions are chiefly for local affairs, however.
The president OF the republic is Paul F.
Kruger, known exclusively among the
Beers as Dom Paul, or Uncle Paul, and he
is occupying his position now for the third
term. He is nearly eighty years of age,
has carried the musket almost continuous
~, and through many troublous seasons,
against English aggressions.
1t was for the conservation of the inter-
ests of the mining class that President
Kruger induced the first volksraad to es-
tablsh second chamber to which they
could send their representatives, the volks-
raad proper having, however, the power
of veto.
Bad blood has long existed between the
conservative Beers and the English. The
latter have not forgotten the rebellion Of
the Beers in 1880, when they drove out
their hereditary foes. inflicting at Majuba
Hill one OF the most ignobie and disas-
trous defeats recorded in England's annals.

tions from Lord Palmerston, secretary of
foreign affairs, for the guidance of Lord
John Russell, secretary for war and colo
MES.
1t is as follows:
FOREIGN OFFICE, March IS, 1S4O
Sir: l am directed by Viscount Palmer
ston to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter of the 9Th instant, inclosing copies
and extracts of dispatches and their in
closures from Mr.. Light, governor of Brit
ish Guiana, relative to the expediency of
lillian, Venezuelan and Netherland govern
ments, by which the boundaries of British
Guiana may be accurately defined.
With reference to that part of your letter
in which you state that Lord John Russell
considers it to be important that the bound
aries of British Guiana should be ascer-
tanned and agreed upon, II possible, and
that Mr.. Schomburgk'5 researches in those
parts have qualified him in peculiar man
ner to be of use, should the services of any
person acquainted with the geography of
British Guiana be required for fixing the
boundaries of the British territory, am to
state to you that the course of proceeding
which Lord Palmerston would suggest for
the consideration of Lord John Russell is
that a map of British Guiana should be
made out according to the boundaries de-
scribed by Mr.. Schomburgk; that the said
map should be accompanied by a memoir
describing in detail the natural features
which sfine and constitute the boundaries
in question, and that copies of that map
and memoir should be delivered to the gov
ernments of Venezuela, Of Brazil and of
the Netherlands as statement of the Brit
ish claim. That in the meanwhile British
commissioners should be sent to erect land
marks on the ground in order to mark out
by permanent erections the line Of bound
ary so claimed by Great Britain.
1t would then rest with each of the three
governments above mentioned to make any
objection which they might have to bring
forward against these boundaries, and to
state the reasons upon which such objec-
tic ms might be founded, and her majcsty's
government would then give such answers
thereto as might appear proper and just.
Lord Palmerston further considers that
it would be exped:ent that the Brazilian
detachment should be required to withdraw
from Pirara, and that the officer in COM
mand should be informed that any claim
which Brazil may imagine itself to have
to that village should be stated by the
Brazilian government to that Of Great
Britain, in order that it may be discussed
and settled between the two governments.
