contains an attack, by implication, if not
directly, upon large and respectable de-
nomination of the Christian Church,
speaking of them as "new order of
priesthood" and charging that they took
charge of churches by sort of "politico-

Mr.. Pollard, warm Confederate, in
the October Galaxy commends the negro
for his eloqucnce, industry. and progress.
He says he believed slavery eternal, but
it went down in night; that he wanted
to amelioriate, not abolish but now he
says


1T is astonishing how little the slave
holders Of the South, despite their sup
posed knowledge Of the negro. really
knew what was in him; what little idea
or anticipation they had of capacities he
is now exhibiting The difficulty was
that slavery was perpetual barrier to an
intimate acquaintance with the negro it
regarded him as thing, and was never
concerned to know what was in the sod
den and concealed mind OF creature
that represented only so much oil pro-
ductvc force, and was estimated, body
and soul, in dollars and cents. If one,
even OF Southern gentlemen, with the
best intentions. sought knowledge of the
negro. and made opportunities to con.
verse with him, he ian tho danger OF be.
ing suspected rs an abolitionist in dis.
guise, or at least of being low person.


No candid person in the South will de-
ny that the general experience of the
negro since emancipation has been pro.
gress; that in nearly every respect of his
life he exhibits some Improvement from
that date. Southern men arc not very
ready to advertise this to the world they
would probably confess il with reluctance
to Northern commission Of inquiry {;
but in private conversations among
themselves, where no pride Of contro-
versy interposes. they freely admit it.and
wonder at it. The negro moves. He is
showing the greatest eagerness for
knowledge and education. attesled by
the fact, for which examination is chal.
lenged, that in the free schools of the
South, where he has equal admission.
there are more black children than white
ones in proportion to the population Of
each race in the given community. SO
far from becoming the idle vagabond
that the pessimist theorizers would
have him after emancipation. he is ex-
emplarily industrious; attested by The
fact that to-day the negro represents
nearly all the labor OF the South, and ad.
hitting this test, that OF persons in equal
condition of poverty and Of necessity Of
work. there are far more poor whites
than negroes who are idle in the South.
OF the vices that were to assail and
destroy the negro in his new estate of
freedom, there are no proofs; quite the
contrary. The terrible vice OF intem-
perance, which has been the usual
scourge of weak races. and the almost
unfailing incident of prococious civil
ization, is comparatively unknown among
the Southern freedmen. So far from be.
ing improvident, the wonder is how the
negro economies, gets SO many good
clothes and real comforts out of his very
scanty wages. AS voter he has shown
q discretion and independence that have
nonplussed the wisest of our politicians.

time ago, supposed that the negro's vote

There are but few inventions or discoveries
which produce a complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed, year ago,
that the dirtiest garment could be washed clean,
in twenty or thirty minutes, by boiling alone,
would have been regarded as an indication of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated bey yond any
doubt that this process not only cleans the clothes,
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such asurposition has no
foundation in fact, and is contrsdicted by the
perience ofsevery lady who has adopted this mode
of washing


Everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta

its operations. 1t must be 10 be fully appre-
