Last season Vice Admiral Porter wrote an excel
lent letter upon the noble pastlme Of rowing which
was extensively published by the press generally In
which he expressed a desire to test the crack crew
Of the United States Naval Academy with some good
boat club in three mile race in shells. The Alta
lanta Club OF this city, the oldest rowing club in
American waters, responded. some correspondence
ensued, but in the interim thes mdshipmen were or
upon their annual cruise. The subject was opened
again this season by the Atalansas; but as the mid

guence or their match with theQuaker City Club, Of
Phlladelpnia on the 9th, and their annual cruise
commencing early In June, 1t was postponed until
the autumn. The Atalantas could not row SO early
In May, as the boating season does not open here
until the latter part OF that MONTH and 1t would re-
quire month and half to get crew in condition

oarsmen OF the Naval Academy Upon the return OF
the mldshipmen from their cruise a six-oared shell

According TO the Magdeourger Zeftung the Ger.
man emigrants this year are distinguished from
those OF former years by the fact that ve-sSth Of
those who have resolved TO seek new home in
America are persons in the possession OF capital.
Besides thls they are mostly people OF some know
ledge. Formerly the peasants and day laborers Of
POmerana, West Prussia and Posen formed the
principal part OF the emigration. They were, there
fore. people almost utterly unacquainted with the
state OF matters in the Union, who went there ana
were exposed TO numerous dangers before they
could settle. This year it is more particularly the
more Intelligent laborer ana merchant who seems
desirous OF trying his fortune.

probable that IL will ever be Fright


adjusted" The lesson taught, not


only BY the few representative cases


whichiwc have selected but by all


history, is that all men instinctively


protect their own supposed rights


and interests without regard TO the


consequences to anybody else. We


havepnrposely chosen our illustrations


so as 10 show the result where three


distinct races were the victims, and


at PLACES widely remote from each


other. Can it be supposed that in


circumstances at all similar, tho negro


race Wi fare better than either the


Monaghan, the Indian, or the pure


Caucasian Can it be supposed that


a peopo who resent so recklessly all


encronshments from other sources will
fong' submit TO See their rights aud


their interests made subordinate to an


inferior and a hated racer One can


hardly imagine that conflict of races


hero can bo really desired by any one
and yet the diligent and systematic
way in which all the regular antece-
dents Of such n conflict are being pre-
pared almost compels one to such
belief The commonly used phrase,
"armiHg the negroes with the ballot
for their protection" is suggestive
but in addition to this the issues must
be mado up in the interests Of the
negroes as distinguished from those
Of the whites, in order to secure their
united votes. The right of suffrage
has been conferred upon the negroes
avowodly for the purpose OF controll-
ing elections by their means, but this
can, of course, only be done by
uniting them all on one side; and IL
this is accomplished by making the
negro interests paramount, then what
becomes Of their white allies II, on
the other hand, both parties ignore
negro interests alike, then what be-
comes Of the control of their votes z
The two races are about as distinct
rs two things can well be, and must
certainly remain so; if their interests
are not also distinct, then their votes
will naturally divide and the hopes of
the radical party must fail but If.
their interests are distinct, or can be
made TO appear so, then they may
rely upon il that their rights will soon
be as little respected by those who
have, or think they have, conflicting
rights as were ever those of Virgin
Ians, or the Peigans Of Montana, or
the Chinese Of California. Our radi.

BALD HEADs.-The CarroIIton (Miss.
Conservative is responsible for the follow
ing: We have heard it stated several times,
that Mr.. Sam Bryan, who heretofore had
been bare-faced on the top of his head, had
by the use of coal oil, grown a thick coating
of hair on the aforesaid bald head. We
saw Mr.. Bryan on Monday last, and upon
examination, found the statement to be
correct. Mr.. Bryan informed us that the
way he found out this new property of coal
oil, was simply this: lie had large boil
on the bald place on his head which gave
him much pain, and the absence of anything
else, he rubbed coal oil on it. He says it
relieved the pain almost instantly, so he
continued to rub on the oil until the boil
was entirely well, when to his surprise, he
found thin coating of hair coming cut
over the bald place. He continued the use
of the oil for a month or two, and now has
heavy coat of hair on his head. This is
no humbug, but the simple truth and We
would advise our bald headed trends to try
the experiment

An EXCELLENT RICE PUDDING.-Two
quarts of milk, one cup each of rice and
sugar, a teaspoonful of salt. Wash the rice
and add it to the milk cold, and bake. The
secret of having it nice consists in its being
taken out of the oven before the milk is all
dried away. 1t should be creamy IN con-
sistency, and when cool it is better than a
pudding made with eggs, as there is no
watery whey. Essence of lemon or rasins

Keep covered while shaking. Use just
enough water to slake dry. Let the lime
stand four or five hours to insure it being
well slaked If it is desirable to have a
good smooth wash, the slaked lime should
be sifted through moderately fine sieve;
if to be used on barns, out buildings and
fences, it is not material about sitting.


To the lime thus prepared add enough
water to fill the barrel half full, then add
two gallons OF -four starch, hot one quart

pounds of melted rosin, hot, to make it stick.
