Mrs. E. B. Martin was hostess last FRI
day evening at one Of those delightful al
fairs formerly designated as 'tackey par
ties, Tut more recently alluded to as pov-
erty soshuls." Practically all the young
folks of the city were present and some 81
the costumes were picturesque and lndi-
crous to marked degree. At 1890 the
dining room was thrown open and dain
ty and well arranged supper was served.
At a late hour the guests dispersed, all
concuring in pIonouncing the evening one
indeed of pleasure.

The MORO and His opportanities.

Too many negroes fail to appreciate the
fact til ta.man who can dig a good ditch
or pIow straight furrow is a mole useful
and honored member of society than a sor-
~ school teacher or preacher without
morals. That is why thousands of mem
bers Of the race will fail to profit by the adj
vice of Booker Washington, who told an
audience of negroes in New York a few
days ago that they should strive 10 make
themselves better servants than their white
rivals.
A few years ago all negroes in this coun-
try occupied menlal positions, and not one
in hundreds were educated. Today many
Of that race are filling positions of trust
and responsibility, while the colored schools
of the South are overhowing.
But from slavery 10 the achievement of
success in the world of trade, industry fl
nance and the professions can not be achiev
ed byan entire race in forty years, Book
er Washingtons are rare, and if there were
thousands like him today the field in which
he is laboring would be overcrowded
Instead of being dissatisfied with it
present opportunities, if the negro race
will but improve these opportunities as
they are now presented, it will be able to
take advantage Of anything that changing
conditions may bring, On the other hand
failure to satisfactorily meet the demands
now madd upon them as servants and la
borers will render them incapable of grasp
ing whatever greater opportunities may be-
come theirs in the future. Albany Herald.

For An Honest Department.

Hon. E. B. Lewis, congressman from the
Third congressional district, has annouuc
ed for reelection, and in doing 50 has
given to his constituents the platform up
on which he will again ask their suffrage.
Mr.. Lewis letter to the white voters Of
the district contains sound Democratic
doctrine. He is in favor Of those measur-
es for which Democracy stands ana is OPP
posed to such undemocratic schemes as
the ship subsidy and high tariff.
The best feature of Mr.. Lewis platform
deals with the department of agriculture
and its relation to the cotton interests.
He says in this connection:
firmly believe i'll the maintenance
and improvement Of the agricultural de-
partment AMI The continuation of the bu-
reau of statistics and cotton glnners' re-
ports. Cotton is about the only ore Of the
worlds great products that the United
States can claim 10 mcnopolize, with its
annual value amounting to the enormous
sum of from 5 10 hundred milliondollais
two thirds of which product goes to foreign
lands, bringing us in return foreign gold
The growing and marketing OF this enor--
nous crop, which is on important and
growing question, will cause me to give
special attention to the broadening, cor
recting and purifying of the agricultural
department, and advocating the dismissal
of the unworthy and filling their places
from the large supply Of honest men.
The theory Of abandoning the dissem-
ination Of cotton reports by the department
Of agriculture, which has been advocated
by some is wrong. Congressman Lewis
idea OF making the department honest
seems the proper one Savannah Press.

Monster Crop The Prospect.

Having hammered down the price OF
what remains Of last years cotton crop a
''bear raid" is being made upon the next
crop, which will not be planted tor six
weeks yet. Already we are told that an
''agent of reliable house is travelling in
the South and is authority for the state
1nent that there is reason to believe the
1867 crop will be bumper. He says
he has been investigating the fertilizer out
look and there is every indication now
that the fertilizer business this season will
he heavier than it has been in ten years.
He says the farmers are more than doub
ling their former orders. III addition he
says, lie fLds that the sale of mules dur
ing the past four months has exceeded
the alu Of that animal for the same period
0 the year for the past 20 years or longer
Whether or not the acreage IS going to be
increased he would no. venture, but is l.

MAGAZINE NOTES.
JuIy AtIanfic NfonthIr.

The July issue of the Atlantic is a notable number in which the editors have grouped an interesting variety of important articles. The number be- gins with the first installment of The Autobiography of a Southerner by Nicholas Worth The narrative has singular accent of authority, and promises to be one of the most im- portant pictures of life in the South since the war that has ever been pub lished. Whoever the author Is, he has had exceptional opportunities for know ing all sides of Southern life. and he is most picturesque writer Among the other important papers of the num- Der are a vigorous and entertaining dis eussion of Some Aspects of Journalism. by Rollo ogden, editor of the New York Evening Post; An American View of British Railroads, by Ray Morris editor of The Railway Gazette; a time ly and eloquent paper on The Grading of Sinners, by E. A. Ross, and an au- thoritative discussion of some of the evils of Our Unelastic Currency, by C. von L. Meyer. the American Ambas- sador to St. Petersburg.
 As Is usual in the Atlantic. the bal- anee between affairs and literature Is ably maintained. The three literary essays in the number are of unusual interest. Edmund Gosse, the English literary critic, writes upon Ibsen, James

 & L. De Fabry, in Outing,
 A dog I owned suffered a great deal with indigestion. The least indiscreet diet would bring on these attacks. and as they occurred very frequently had 8 large bottle of medicine always on hand and kept 1t on a shelf in his kennel The dog seemed to have ac- quired thorough comprehension as to the relief bringing quality of that bot tie Whenever he was III and food was placed before him, he would scent 1t. walk away without touching 1t. then turn to the shelf and. gazing steadily at the bottle, indicate plainly his wants. He took the medicine without the slightest baking, which Is rather exceptional, as any one who ever tried to dose a dog will agree.
 The dog. when let out. would never disturb anything in the poultry yard, but the moment stray chick lost her way into his yard the savage got the better of him; he would catch the un- fortunate straggler, kill and devour 1t, leaving only a few feathers as evil dence of the murder" Punishment always followed, The remnants of feathers were shown to the dog so as to impress on him his wrong doings and make the cause of the punishment clear to hib. From time to time young chickens would be missing. and all eff forts to locate the guilty one were vain. The dogs yard was always scru- tinized but nothing found.
 My best broilers were disappearing at a rapid gate, and I decided to have the dog watched. Soon he was caught in the act and the mystery solved, The moment the dog had finished his meal. he scratched the feathers in a heap and carried them with his teeth to corner of his yard where he buried them. The dog had the most ambar- rassed and helpless expression at the time he was caught that ever noticed on a dog An extra severe punishment was dealt out. and do not know if inc mortification of being trapped or the nunishment did the work, but the dog was cured from that moment on.
 The related observations show req soninR in order to accomplish some thIne. for A set purpose. I believe most animals possess the quality in some degree. more or less, according to their mental development,
 Tn the last case described the dogs tnstinct led him to catch and kill the chicken: but memory told him that nunishment would follow if found out. FJe reasoned that by hiding the evil dence of his guilt he would escape nuniahment for his actions, which he ,i,nderstood to be wrong. The very fact of being able to discriminate be- tween right and wrong and trying to check the consequences of the latter shows the necessity of thinking and therefore of reasoning power, as

 Chicago, July 13.-The National Bill Posters Association. at it's meeting here yesterday, decided to eliminate Devils in all forms from advertising matter distributed by the association. The principal reason given for the action taken was that such pictures suggested evil"
 H. c. Sanders. of Pittsburg made the only objection. saying that his inter- est lay entirely in his desire to op- pose the sacrifice of so large fund of artistic material as that made availa- ble by pictures of his Satanic majesty.
 Charles Barnard of Chicago. secre- tary elect of the association. speaking in a psychological vein. dwelt upon the power of suggestion in the minds of youths
 Suggestion in unconscious imitation are the strongest factors in forming the child's mind" he said. land the accumulated influence of constantly seeing hideous pictures of devils, car- rying every suggestion of evil. cam. not be estimated"
