IUTCHCOCK A PATTERSON cure this dreadful disease, without the use of the knife, or any poisoning mercurial agent. Tor circular, with, testimonial., ad- ta» HITeHCTCKA PATTHSBON,. The Petty Annoyances of Life. Most temperaments can bear evils of magnitude with more patience than evils that are so small as to be reckon ed among annoyances. A strong man will endure a fever without a murmur, but will fret over a “corn.” A heroic woman finds it easy to risk her life for the sake of one whom she loves, but will fly into a passion at a sour look.— Patients have been known tosit still— before the era of nmesthetics—during an amputation, who could not resist the bite of a flea or the sting of a mu- squito. Great merchants have often calmly endured an entire break-down of their fortunes, after exhibiting the most vilent anger over a trifling loss. In every-day life, important events seem to bring with them a power to calm the feelings and hold them in subjection, while little annoyances take us unawares and disturb us immoder ately. It is not easy to analyze the mind and heart so as to give a reason for all the shifting phenomena of existence. There is something great and noble and enduring in man, and there is also something small and mean and cow ardly. Whatever appeals to our bet ter nature is entertained with be coming composure and dignity—what ever strikes our weak side arouses our selfishness and causes a pitiful display of idiosyncracy. Man faces the heav ens, but stands upon the earth. The petty annoyances of life reveal us to ourselves and others, not in our high estate, as looking upward and forward, hut in our low estate. So far os our human happiness is concerned, our well-being does not de pend so much ou our department in the midst of great events, as on our patience in managing the numberless and nameless trifles, the microscopic atoms of existence. c A N C E R A Wonderful Grapevine, Among the innumerable wonders of the Pacific Slope, the mammoth grape vine of Santa Barbara, California, deserves notice. Seventy years ago it was the riding whip of a Spanish don na, one of the earliest settlers of San ta Barbara, presented to her by her lover. Now it spreads its branches r an area of more than 5,000 square feet, and produces annually from 10,000 to 12,000 pounds of grapes. This grapevine is said to be twice as large as the, famous vine at Fontainebleau, in France, and larger than any found among the villas-in the vicinitv of Ropio. Altogether it is one of the wonders of the world, and aiferds a striking example of the won derful vegetable growth ol the Pacific coast. A good anecdote is related of Dr. Rice, which enforces its own lesson. When he was at the head of the Theo logical Seminary in Prince Edward, one of the out parishes of Virginia sent to him for a minister. They, as usual in such cases, wauted a scholar, a gentleman, an orator, a pastor, a fine writer—in short, a perfect minis ter. They “ had formerly given 8350 per annum: but now, if they could get such a man as they wanted, they could raise it to 8400." The doctor answered by telling them to send to heaven for Dr. Dwight He was the The following sound article we copy from the Nashville Union and Ameri can, a paper that is doing much for the promotion of agricultural interests in the South. The most difficult problem of solu tion, and upon which the future pros perity of the South, in a large meas ure, depends, is 4he best method of managi negro labor. This problem is grentjf’ oompnofUtffcf the /act of an abnormal, or unusual relation hav ing existed heretofore between the ne groes who labor on the farm and the persons who employed them. It is difficult for the people of the South to realize, the fact that the negro is a free man, entitled~to all the privileges ol native-born citizens, subject to the same laws and claiming the same rights. The negro, on the other hand, has been instructed to believe that the white people of the South would de prive them of their freedom, and re mand them back into slavery if they only had the power. These two ideas, acting in antagonism, have served to repel the two races from each other, and like a magnet distributing their forces in opposite directions. With few exceptions there has been but lit tle sympathy and but little good will between them, other than that which results from a mutual dejicndenee upon each other. This, in the impov erished condition of the South, is greatly to he deplored. She needs the hearty concurrence of every force, mor al, intellectual and physical, to regain her lost ascendency, and to place her on the high road to wealth and pros perity. We propose to submit a few sugges tions founded on experience, by which both races may be benefited. 1. As the white race has more in telligence and more experience with the world, the beginning of a reform should commerce with it, and the first step is to make the negro more perma nent in his home. As a wandering laborer, with no ties to bind him to any locality, lie is deprived of those in centives which makes enterprising and industrious citizens. They should be furnished with comfortable houses, in which they may board themseves, have their own gardens, their own milch cows, a bee hive or two and such com forts as a laboring man feels that he ought to have. They will then know that they reap the lull measure of their labor, and that superior skill and industoy will he rewarded by in creased enjoyments and comforts. 2. As the introduction of machinery into the operations of the farm is be coming more general each year, so a larger degree of intelligence is con stantly demauded. The senseless ex ercise of muscle cannot compete with the precision and intelligent action of machinery. Each succeeding year will show a diminished demand for ig norant labor and an increased inquiry for skilled labor. The highest interest of the South, then, demands a recog nition of this fact, and the adoption of some measures by which the laborer may be instructed in the higher re quirements of the farm, for all the ex perience of this country goes to prove that it is more economical to employ intelligent labor to direct machinery than to employ ignorant labor and dis pense with machinery. The produc tion of cotton, since the invention of 1 the cotton gin ; the increased produc tion of wheat since the invention of the reaper, are cases in point; and so far from machinery reducing the average price of labor, the producing power of a day’s labor, is greater now than it ever has been; employment is more constant; sales of agricultural products more certain, and a gradual elevation of the laborer in the scale of dignity and intelligence more decided. 3. No labor can be made permanent ly profitable that is not contented.— Whatever then is done to make it con tented and happy redounds as muoh to the interest of the employer as to the laborer. For this reason we think every large employer of labor should have a school-house erected on his farm, so that the children may be in structed in the elements of “ learning, virtue and science.” A part from the happiness which it gives the parents, it fits the children lor more intelligent labor demanded by the advance of a true civilization. The largest piofit ever paid by any cotton factory in the South, was by oue in Georgia, where the stockholders not only furnish com plete homes for their employees, bat keep a teacher constantly employed for the instruction of their children.— The operatives consider it a rare priv ilege to be employed, and the owners of the factory have never been troubled with “ strikes” or a scarcity of labor. gome regard ought also to be had to their employments. Every class of people have their special pleasures.— The Germans, for example, have their beer gardens; the Irish their “ wakes;” the French their soirees; the Spaniards their fandangos, and if the negro shows a predilection for “ big meet ings,” loud prayers and doleful songs, it must be set down as one of his “ pe culiar” pleasures, to which he has a right by nature and a desire by in stinct. Let him enjoy them ; nay, let him be assisted in enjoying them, if it will make him a more effective, relia ble and honest laborer. 4. The confidence of the negro must be secured, and he must be made mor ally certain that he will get the full value of aft his.4abor, and that he has a right to spend it in any manner that he pleases. He may need advice, but advice, should not be forced upon him. When he is fully convinced that his employer is looking to his interest, he will not be tardy in seeking and fol lowing his advice. A laborer should be paid also in proportion to his real value. The habit of having a fixed rate for grown men, and so much for boys of equal age, is discouraging to those who wish to excel by : he quali ty and quantity of their work. It re- Tohtical Miscellany. ,,, *■' During these twelve years, through three Presidential terms, they have The CItII Bights Bill. Editor of the Banner:—Dear Sir :—In the Southern Christian Ad vocate of the 8th of May, 1872, will be found the following synopsis of the so-called Civil Rights bill of Pearce of Mississippi: It makes the refusal of privileges to schools, hotels, cars, steamboats, the atres or concerts, stages, churcles and cemeteries, on accouut of color, or any witnessed, not only the four year? bloody war, but the complete revolu tion of the Government. They have seen the Constitution of their fathers changed by force and fraud, and have witnessed the erection of a centralized military despotism ujion the ruins of a constitutional republic. They have seen fanaticism in place of reason rul ing the land ; they have seen the most sacred rights of persou disregarded one udvisiug the same, a misdemeanor, jand trampled under foot; they have punishable by a fine of oue thousand j seen the Presidential chair removed dollars, and imprisonment for nut* year; and a throne established in its place, gives the person refused an action on and they have stood side by side an«l the case for one thousand dollars; it should*r to shoulder through all these gives jurisdiction to the United States 3 ~ 1 — —’ 1 1 1 *’ * ’•* courts, and makes neglect of duty by the Officers of the courts a like mis demeanor, and repeals the word “ white" in all laws, and makes exclu sion of colored jurors a misdemeanor, punickuble by a line of five thousand dollars. Now as the author of that dame in the Constitution of the Slate of Geor gia of 18t>8, which says “ Tlie social status of the citizen shall never be the subject of legislation,” i announce my living, dying, unqualified and eternal dark days, and have borne defeat with a manly courage and au unflinching heroism worthy the causa they upheld, aud have battled for civil and jiefson- al liberty and constitutional govern ment, with a tenacity and unflinching bravery worthy the heroes who for centuries shed their blood in defense of the same principles and won their cau.-e at Ruunymcde, where the great 1 hill of rights, Magna Charta, was wrung from the hand of despotism. And will these same Democrats sur render to thejenemy, and yield all for tards progress in the right direction. | said clause in the Constitution ot ’US, protest against the provisions of said | which they have sufiered so much and bill. Iu the case of Scott vs. The so long just as victory is certain, and State of Georgia, 39 Ga. Repts., p. all for which they have struggled is 224-5-5, the Supreme Court of Georgia | within their gra>p ? Will these same say, among other things, speaking of. Democrats disband just as schism ha Its tretehes all upon a Procrustean bed, cuts down good qualities and ele vates bad ones to the same level. 5. The most liberal rates should be paid for labor. The best interests of the farmer require this. In this man ner he can always secure as many la borers as he may wish on his farm, and he able to secure the best. Know ing that they are receiving the highest wages they are not so easy to take of fence and “ quit,” but are willing, in pushing times, to move forward with alacrity and a will which the poorly- paid laborer never feels. More satis faction is felt aud greater energy se cured and developed in the manage ment of the farm. 6. The employer should he kind and act with impartiality and kindness towards his employees. Fretting and fault-finding persisted iu, will ruin the best set of farm laborers in the world. Rules should be reasonable, but rigid ly enforced. Too many orders should not be given at once. The farm should lie supervised by the owner, and the laborer should he made to feel his responsibility for faithful work.— Occasional holidays should he given, and for good and faithful service, well and truly performed, a Christinas present or New Year’s gift; would be no bad investment It is not the val ue of the gift It is the manifestation of good feeling ; it is the sympathetic link that unites the superior to the in ferior ; it is an evidence of kindly re gard that is always appreciated by the most ignorant One of the most suc cessful business men iu the State, when in Rome on a visit, had a num ber of beads blessed by the Pope, and the proper distribution of those among his house servants has made the bond of attachment between them indi-sol- uble. All admi e s of Sir Walter Scott remember how proud his old servant Tom Pardie was of a ‘gift bought for him in Paris by Sir Walter, It is not the gift, said Tom, that I prize so much as that the lord should think of me so far from home. Let the negro become identified with, and attached to the soil upon which he lives, and he and the land- owner aDd the country will all be ben efited by his labor. How to Measure an Acre and Parts of an Acre. , Land can he measure! with satisfac tory accuracy for many purposes, by pacing. Five paces are equal to one lineal rod. A man having long legs will usually measure more thnn a rod at five paces, while a short-legged man will be obliged to step unnaturally long to measure a rod at five paces.— The correct way is to measure 161 feet on level ground, then practice guaging the steps, until one can measure one rod at every five steps. Then one hundred steps or paces will he equal to twenty rods. If a plot of land be two hundred paces long and fifty paces wide, call every five paces a rod, mul- tinly the rods in length by the number of rods in width, and divide the pro duct by 160, the square rods iu one acre. Thus: 100 paces, 20’rods, and 50 paces, 10 rods, or 10 by 20,200 square rods, which, divided by 160, H acres. A square acre is about 208 feet 8£ inches on every side. In order to lav out one acre of land twice as long as the width, the length must be 417 feet and 5 inches, and the width 104 feet 4 inches. Twenty feet front and 2,178 feet deep, one acre. Twenty-five feet front aud 1,7424 feet deed, one acre. Thirty feet fiont and 1,452 feet deep, one acre. Thirty-three feet front and 1,320 feet deep, one acre. Forty feet front and 1,089 feet dee‘d one acre. Fifty feet front and 871 2—12 feet deep, one acre. One hundred feet front and 43 a* feet deep, one acre. The laws in force when the Consti tution was adopted lett the churches in this State free to regulate matters connected with social status in their congregations, as they thought proper. They could say who should enter their church’edifices, aud occupy their scats, and in what order they simuld be clas- a tied or seated. In all this they were protected by the common law ot this htate. The now Constitution for ever guarantees this protection, by de nying to the Legislature the power to pass any law withdrawing it, or regu lating iiie social status in such assem blages. The same is true of railroad ami steamboat companies, and hotel keepers. But they were not compelled to put persons of different races or sex es in the same cars, or in the same apartments, or scat them at the same table.” Again, one of the Judges iu his de cision in the case above stated, says: “ This in my opinion is one of the wisest provisions in the Constitution, as it excludes from the hulls of the Legislature a question which was like ly to produce more unprofitable agita tion, wrangling aud contention than any other subject within the whole 1 range of their authority.” The aforesaid Civil Rights Bill at one fell swoop contemplates depriving the white race of Georgia of that so cial status to which, from time imme morial, they have been entitled as a sacred heritage, and which the Con stitution of 1SU8 intended forever to secure to them and their children. There is no pretext for Pearce’s bill of abominations, unless it be found in Article 14 of the Constitution of the United States, which prohibits the States from making or enforcing any hw which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, or which shall deny to any per son within its jurisdiction the equal protection of its laws. The conclud ing section of said article says : “ Con gress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.” Now, from the first organization of civilized society, every member thereof has had the inalienable right to choose his or her associates. The veriest ty rants have never presumed to deprive their subjects of this most precious privilege. This abominable till im poses upon the white race of the South ern States, and their children, the in tolerable burden of admitting to their ranks, on terms of equality, an interior race, in all schools, hotels, cars, steam boats, stages, churches, cemeteries, theatres, and concerts. A greater in sult was never oflcreil to any people. It claims for unrefined and boorish ignorance a privilege to which it never had, nor ever can have the least possi ble right on account of citizenship, or the right of protection under the law. But the savage barbarity of Pearce’s bill goes farther, and deprives the parent of the privilege and immuuity of selecting the school associations of his children. With sacrilege it pro fanes the worship of the Almighty by seating iu churches liuv.ng lice seats all races promiscuously. It deprives congregations whose funds have erect ed and dedicates! temples for the wor ship of God, of the right to say who shall he admitted therein; thus pro hibiting those whose property a church is, from controling the same; aud to which a congregation has as dear and sacred right as any one has to his own individual estate. It commits the same unhallowed trespass upon the rights, privileges and immunities of all proprietors of hotels, railroad cars, steamboats, stages and theatres. In a word, it intends tiie utter de struction of all the social status of Southern refinement and society. The 14th Article of the United States Constitution can be enforced only by “ appropriate legislation.” Never was legislation more absurd or inappro priate than the bill of Pearce, when we consider the condition of the South J upon wha?e society it is intended to operate. I regret t< use the language, but conscientious conviction compels me to do it. The Ku-Klux bill was the firey muttering of Vesuvius. Pearce’s so-called Civil Rights Bill is the boiling over of hell itself. C. D. DAVIS. entered the Radical organization and hopelessly divided the party? Will they not make one more effort to stive the Constitution of their country ? Iu our humble judgment tlie | olitioil field presents a very gloomy view to all true Democrats. Men who have stood up nobly for years seem sudden ly to fail, like the swimmer who sinks and drowns just its he stretches fort h his hand to grasp the shore that, he has almost reached. We see nothing ahead to encourage us, hut can, at present, only wait for the development of events iu the future, while the only thing w'hieh we can speak with any certainty, is to say that nothing can induce us to vote a Radical ticket, no matter whose name may head it.— Washington ( Wilkes county) Gazette. Platform of the Pennsylvania Demo cracy Will the Democracy Surrender in the Honr of Victory ! Since the political campaign of I860, which culminated in the defeat of the Democratic party, the election of Lin coln to the Presidency, the succession of the Southern States and the four years of war which followed, the Dem- Ilesolvcd, That the Democratic par ty, while in the future as in the past, firmly upholding the Constitution of the United States as the foundation and limitation of the powers of ti.e General Government and the safe shield of the liberties of the people, demands for the citizen the largest freedom oouautont uiiiU |HlUlui Ardor, and for every State tiie right of setr- government; that to uphold the form er and protect the latter, the Demo cracy of Pennsylvania i-an find n« bet ter platform upon which lo stand than the great leading principles enunciated in the inaugural address ot Presi dent Jefferson and tiie farewell address of the immortal Jaeksou. Upon these great State papers we plant ourselves and enter the contest of 1872. Resolved, That abused as the public confidence has been by a long period of official mismanagement, waste, and fraud, this convention invites the co operation of all citizens of the com monwealth, in the earnest efiort which the great constituency it represents is about to make, t > remove from our State administration every taint cf po litical corruption. The interest of ev ery Penusylvauian is directly a< d vi tally concerned in the eradication of unjust usages and practices by which individual fortunes may he created at the public cost, and the attempt to do this can be made certainly successful hv the uniou of upright aud fair-mind ed men of all p Tries, and by sustain ing candidates of unquestioned abili ties and unspotted names. Resolved, That this convention ap peals to the people of Pennsylvania for the support of the candidate lor Governor whom it has placet! in nom ination, because his election will se cure at once a corrcciit n of existing wrongs and the permanent future pros- jierity of the Slate. It asks for his support because he has been nominat ed not to subserve the views or pro mote the interests ot any section or faction, but to meet the requirements of an urgent and common need; be cause lie fully represents, and iu his life and character fairly illustrates, the true spirit and principles of popular government; because he has been au earnest, sincere and efficient opponent of the fraudulent practices and false doctrine of the party that has held power through many long years of misrepresentation aud misrule; be cause he stands pledged by the record of his whole life to administer his of fice, if elected, for the benefit, and only the benefit, of the |>eople; be cause he can be tru ted to secure care ful, economical and responsible con trol of the agents and officials and the treasury of the commonwealth; be cause he can be relied on to abstain from unfounded aud unjust demands to the prejudice of public rights, to op pose with vigor the encroachment of [towcrful corporations, and energetical ly resist the grant to aggregated capi tal of privileges which could be used to injure, hamper and impede the ef forts of individuals in the various en terprises and fields of labor which the State affords, and because his action in the past is proof that his official in flui uce will be used hereafter to pre vent the mischief of special legislation, and to destroy the possibility of pro curing the euactment of any statute bv the useof money orotherc rrup* mea: s The third and fourth resolutions re late to State affairs. Resolved, That the grant, by the Radical Legislature of this State, of numerous charters creating such cor porations as the Southern Improve ment Company, the Continental Im provement Company, and others of similar character, is unjust to the in terests of trade, is dangerous to the rights and liberties of people, and as such meets with an unqualified con demnation.
