WINDMILLS.
A Multitude of Things That the Wind
VIII DO.
From Youths Companion.

From Youths Companion.
The first barley mill was introduced into
Scotland from Holland by an ingenious
mechanic named Andrew Mel
kle But it was many years
before the inveation came into
general use, owing chiefly to the supersti-
tious prejudice of the country folk, who
looked upon the grain thus cleaned with
suspicion, as produced by "artifcially Gre
ated wind" The clergy even argued that
winds were raised by God alone, and
that it was irreligious IN man to attempt
to raise the wind by his own efforts"
Scott is evidently expressing the popular
sentiment when, in "old Mortality" he
makes one of his characters ehide those
who would raise wind "by human art, in
stead of soliciting 1t by prayer, or waiting
patiently for whatever dispensation of
wind providence was pleased to send upon
the sheaiing hill"
Stories are still told in the neighborhood
where Meike lived of the labor-saving
contrivance he adopted in his own house
hold One day woman came to the mill
to get some barley ground, and was asked
to sit down In the cottage, hard by, till ii
was ready. With the first sound of the
mill wheels, the cradle and the churn at
her side began to rock and churn, as IL
Influenced by some supernatural agency.
No one but herself was in the house, and
she rushed from it, frightened almost out
of her wits.
Such incidents brought an ill-name on
Meikle, and the neighbors declared Of him
that he was mo canny."
He was oftened summoned to great dis
tances for the purpose of repairing pumps
or setting mills to rights. On one occasion,
when he undertook to supply a gentle
mans house with water, so many coun-
try mechanics had tried 1t before and fail
ed that the butler would not believe Mel
kle when he told him to get everything
ready. as the water would be sent in the
next day.
1T will be time enough to get ready"
said the incredulous butler. when we see
the water.
Meikle pocketed the affront, but set his
machinery TO work early the next morn
ing; and so well did the engineer fulfill his
promise that when the butler got out of
bed he found himself up to his knees in
water.
Meikle reaped no financial reward from
his invention; his name is scarcely men-,
toned i'm Scotch biography; yet the state
men on the monument erected to his men,
ory is literally true; He rendered TO the
agriculturists of Britain and of other ma
lions a more beneficial service than any
hitherto recorded in the annals of ancient
or modern science"

Editor Morning News: A question, q
policy yea, | may say principle, has beer
presented to the citizens of Savannah &c
the state of Georgia. the whole south, as
to what shall be the real status of the ne.
gro in the future as regards holding prom.
inent and important offices in the south
SO far as the north in concerned, that
question has long since been answered. He
has no political or social influence at the
north. ha
No greater insult could be offered the
people of the north especially, in their
large cities, than by appointing a Negro
as postmaster, custom house officer, or tC
any other prominent place where white
men are directly interested Blood will
tell, and color is emphatic in its expression
The way to meet danger and to avoid It.
IS 10 meet 1t half way and be ready for It.
To parley is to admit weakness
Mr.. Jefferson said, seventy years ago,
Nothing is more certainly written in the
book of fate than that these people are "a
be free; nor is 1t less certain that the two
races, equally free, cannot live in the same
government Nature, habit, opinion have
drawn indelble lines of distinction be-
tween them" Jefferson was a statesman
IN the strict sense of the word.
His meaning Is plain, very plain. This
Is white mans government, made by
white men for white men. to be ruled and
governed by white men alone. The negro
Is not wanted in office, or in any position
TO manage public. affairs. His habits, so
cial standing, opinions and chronological
distinctions are not wanted in public az
fairs. BE honest with the negro and tell
him party success, the party he may ever
vote with, cannot give him office at the
SOUTH any more than at the north This
question cannot be argued from the stand
point of party policy, but from the point
Of pure principle, unmixed with any sort
of party success.
The meeting at the cotton exchange
made the issue fairly and upon principe
ana II the negroes took 1t for an insult 60
their race, they must first change the
character and intention of this government
from what our fathers made It, and when
the negroes fathers were slaves in every
state in the union.
But the negro may say. you have pre-
JUDGE against our race. Certainly the
white man has a prejudice a prejudice Sc
strong that the white man killed the In
dian who was in his way of advancement
end worked the negro whom he enslaved
But in the development OF time, the negro
was made freeman without any effort on
his part. What he now has, Is but a gift
from the white man, which did not mean
equality, social rights. or political posi-
ton for those who gave the negro politi-
cal rights are now regretting H. and by
none more so than the republican party
which is now annoyed provoked and, from
party view, harassed by the negro in his
wild hunt for office.
The principle involved cannot be com
promised for party purposes and when
mere party considerations are made the
rule of action, whatever OF virtue the
white man has In him is lost. Principle
knows nothing of compromise.

CHRISTMAS WITH THE ORPHANS.
Merry Celebration of the Female Or
phan Asylum.


phnn Asylum.
The Christmas tree celebration yester-
day afternoon at the Savannah Female
Orphan Asylum was largely attended by
the friends of the institution. The pres,
ents had been donated through the ladies
of the board of directors.
A programme of music and recitations
had been prepared for the occasion, and
its rendition was very pleasing. The cele-
hration began With the professional
hymn, "silver Star The girls of the
home assembled in the school room, the
folding doors hiding them from the visit
ors, where the Christmas trees and deco
rations were. Upon the signal being given
the doors were thrown open. The girls
sung one or two stanzas of the hymn and
then marched into the room.
Seated near each other in one part of the
room were Rev. ]. H. Scruggs, pastor OF
Trinity church; Rev. A. j. Smith of the
First Presbyterian, Rev. John d. Jordan
of the First Baptist and Rev. Dr. James
Y. Fair of the Independent Presbyterian.
The opening prayer was my Of. Fair. This
was followed by a recitation, 1.-THE Shep-
herd Boys Carol" by Miss Berta De
Fore, which was given with clearness of
enunciation and understanding of senti>
ment.
A vocal solo, christmas Herald" by
Miss Alice Summerlin, followed. Miss
Summerlin is one of the oldest of the girls
of the home, and her voice has won her
many compliments. That these have been
merited was shown in her rendition of the
number to which she responded. Miss
Summerlin Is the vocal teacher of the
other girls, position Notwithstanding her
youth, she has filled for the last four
years.
This song was followed by the distribu-
ton of the presents. These hung upon the
trees and were placed on the platform
nearby. Upon them, as is usual, were the
names of the recipients Mr. Jordan. Mr.
c. Y. Richardson and Mr. r. B. Reppard
were requested to distribute the gifts
They did so gracefully, touches of humor
during the process adding life to it. Each
of the girls received at least three pres
ents, their names Nbeing called as the dis
tributors found them upon the gifts The
ladies of the board had provided for them
all to the extent of three gifts, chosen
with taste and appreciation of the desires
of the girls.
For some the trees were laden with
more bountiful fruit, as some of the teach.
ers of the Independent church Sunday
school, which the girls attend, had remem-
bered their pupils. As the presents were
distributed, every evidence of joy beamed
in youthful faces.
The completion of the pleasant task of
distributing the gifts was followed by the
closing song, "Oh, Zion" which was rem
dered by the girls. The visitors were inn.
pressed, Is usual. with the sweetness of
the voices.
The benediction was pronounced by Rev.
Arthur ]. Snith.
The girls will be given an excellent
Christmas dinner to-day. The ladies have
sent in many donations of delicacies, and
everything that might tempt the appe-
tite of the most fastidious in taste will be
enjoyed.
