Southern States. The wind sowed, pro-
duces the whirlwind. ~


The industrial consequences of this de-
moralization are very greatly to be depre-
Gated. Every one win admit that the dis
cipline and habit of early life has trained
the negro to industry. This is evident
from the crop results, and from the faith
full performance Of menial and mechanical
duties by the negro. .- 3d..


With hostility from the anti-negro
clergy and politicians which prohibits or
prevents the moral and intelligent instruc-
ton of the negro-which excludes the ne
gro apprentice from the shops and the ne
gro scholar from the schools-must come
an irreligious, immoral and idle negro
posterity. Generation after generation
will, under this policy, take precisely the
same direction with the neglected lower
orders of Europe. Ignorance, idleness
and crime will grow stronger with every
year until society will be burdened here
with the class which oppression and neg
lect of the people creates everywhere.
Italy has her lazzaroni; Sicily her assas-
sins; Mexico her leperos, France her COM
munists and revolutionary rabble, Eng
land her breadless toilers and her tramps,
and Louisiana, if she copies the example,
can not escape the consequences of intol-
erance and oppression.


The general idleness of the colored race
would make the delta cottonwood jun
gle. The general ignorance Of the colored
race will tend to extinguish their me-
chanical industry. The growing crimes
of the negro race would render property
worthless and life unsafe. Instead of the
negro being extermina ted by neglect, dis
ease and with arms of precision, the negro
may render the delta uninhabitable to a
moral and refined population.


We admonish our fellow-citizens who
own property here or intend to plant their
posterity in the delta to look at this SUBJ
ject in its true light. The moral improve
ment of the negro is essential to the safety
and prosperity of Louisiana, and our fel-
low-citizens should at once discard all
prejudice, guarantee the rights. respect
the feelings and acquire the confidence of
the negro. He is power in this land for
good or for evil. He may produce values
or destroy them. He may be worthy
member of society, or he may infest and
infect society. He should be cared for
speedily and sincerely. While failure Of
emancipation may affect the fame of John
Brown, it may destroy the property and
embitter the existence of thousands among
us who deserve no such punishment. The
effort of the anti-negro partisan to drive
the negro out of Louisiana may make
Louisiana uninhabitable by the whites.

This strenuous effort of his enemies to push
General Grant outside the pale Of presi-
Dental candidacy is conclusively proving
the strength of his hold upon the popular

years ordered cargo of corn to be pur-
chased, and ship it to Rio, it could insure
and draw against the cargo, and by con-
trolling the whole inboard rail freight,
could not, we should suppose, lose any
thing while it could, at least, solve the
question. What Chicago could do st.
Louis or Cincinnati ought, we suppose,
attempt. If our produce factors will open
correspondence with these railroad ad-
ministrators, tell them what is wanted;
the value of the object; the inability Of
our capitalists; the superior interest Of the
railroad; information of what other rail-
roads have done to extend their trade
lines-teach these railroad administra-
tors how to make one experimental
shipment to Brazil without money and
without risk, we can not but believe
that such an appeal, argued before those
administrators, would stimulate them to
experiment either on the individual ac-
count of one or the common account of
all. Suppose an experimental shipment
of ten thousand barrels Of -four to cost,
with ocean freights and charges, seventy
five thousand dollars. What would be
the contribution of each mile or dollar of
the roads working in the experiment? The
risk would be almost imperceptible.


The plan is feasible, because it has been
tried elsewhere. Our provision factors
should correspond or send one of their
number to confer, with the railroads and

WHAT Is UNIrARIANisM Rev. DR.,
Bellows says:


1t is difficult to define Uniarianism, be-
cause development and growth are its
peculiarites The believers in it do not
hold any creed, as they do not grow, but
are made Neither do we worship the
Bible, although we recognize il as the
greatest of books and sacred literary
treasure. 1t was written by unknown
writers, some of it showing inspiration.
We accept nothing resting upon mystery
aud hold ourselves free in conscience and
intellect in It's interpretation. We neither
make Christ the beginning, end or middle
of our belief, as we prefer God, as did
Christ himself, who served Him. We can
not believe in any such transformation as
that Of Supreme God and Infinite Spir-
il into the flesh and blood OF a man. We
cannot believe the Bible story OF Adam
and Eve. aud no not think that they had
reached a point OF development from
which the fall could have been Of great
moment We do not accept this as a state
Of probation and heaven as a place Of
settlement, but believe the relations ofthe
paesent to the future life to be the same
as those Of any present to any feture.
God is not to us being seated upon =
throne. with Christ at His side, and
third spirit with them, for, to our belief,
God is everywhere, and tue only throne
he has, in heaven or earth, is the hearts
Of his spiritual offspring. We further
believe that there is no difference between
piety, as understood in the forms OF ho-
lincss, or understood in the form Of the
practice Of duty. Piety is morality to-
wards God morality is pisty toward
man. The Koran is not morality. and
lip service is not piety. Doing Gods
work everywhere; helping and loving
his creatures, doing justice and goodness.

The hardest trial to a woman of ner-
vous energy, ambition and occupation,
is the daily demand made upon her
time by her acquaintances of the day,
Women she may have met accidentally,
and been thrown with for an hour or an
evening, call upon her, asks favors of
her diligence and effort. Men who in
business dealings have learned to know
her, call to settle some trifiing point,and
then come again because 1t is agreeable
to them to do so, never stopping to con.
slider that they are tax, and oftentimes
a bore, and never so necessary to her
existence that they need stay an hour
to transact matter that is of no i'm
portance to any one but themselves.


A woman OF this stamp should early
learn to avoid favors they cost too
dear. A boquet Of flowers, an evening
at the opera, or any other unnecessary
kindness, often is paid fo- by hours of
hard service at entertaining, or else by
attentions that are undesired and unde-
sirable to a woman, who to grow in
strength must grow apart, and who TO
succeed must not be embarrassed by
so-called friends. Learn early the value
Of personal independence strive to live
above society, and aspire to that culture
and grace which renders it unnecessary.
Rejoice in your single-heartedness; de-
light in being magnanimous; for wo-
man to be really independent must be
lofty of soul and above the masses in
every moral attribute. Rid yourself of
women who hamper you by their So
ciety; avoid as you would a pestllence,
women of vulgar instincts, and ordinary
attainments. Poor society is worse
than solitude to even less earnest wo-
men than yourself; to you who have
llfe-pursuit. aud are persuing it, is sim
ply calamity. You may offend, but,
the loss of strength to you is more than
the good will of small natures. 4, a. ..

GETTING AN OLD FASHIONED CoUNTBY
DINNER. Jones told his wife last
Sunday morning that he believed he
would walk out in the country and
spend the day with farmer he knew,
and get an old-fashioned country din
ner. So after eating very scant break
fast in order that he would be able to
put away good portion of the old
fashioned dinner, that he imagined he
was going to get. he slit out" As it
was several miles to where he was going
the walk began to whet up his appetite,
and by the time he came in sight Of the
farmers house he felt as if he could de-
YOUR an OK, and when he reached the
house and the savory fumes Of roast
pork greeted his olfactories, his hunger
became almost beyond endurance.


After knocking about the place awhile
with the farmer, the coveted dinner
hour arrived, and with the full inten-
ton of doing justice to an old fashioned
country dinner, Jones went in the house
with the farmer and took seat at the
table, and being helped to choice piece
of the pork, he pitched in, telling the
farmer that he thought it was very nice.


"Yas," said the farmer, "if that hog
had lived till Christmas it would have
pushed four hundred pounds; but twas
taken sick the other day and died, and
as times are hard we thought that we
would save it anyhow


Jones eyes became about the size OF
the plate he was eating off of; his rave
nous appetite disappeared; and button
ing up his coat he.l looked at the farmer,
and began shaking from head to foot.


"Got chill, eh?' said the farmer,
taking q good sized mouthful Of pork,
which made Jones sick at his stomach.


YES" said Jones, jumping up from
the table and making for the door, "and
I must be getting home. l don't care
about being laid up on your hands -
and leaving the farmer to eat his old
fashioned dinner himself, Jones struck
out for home.


About three o'clock that afternoon,
Mrs. Jones, gho was taking a nap, was
aroused by hearing noise in the
kitchen, and on going out to ascertain
the cause of it, found Jones at the cup
board devouring cold victuals as if he
had not tasted food for week


Didn't you get your cid fashioned
country dinner?" she asked.
