Mills Manufacturing Co.—Dear Sir :—
In reply to your enquiry as to my ex
perience with your Flour of Raw Bone,
I will state that I used about 75 pounds
to the acre on 2 portion of my corn crop.
This was too small a quantity and here
after I shall use more to the acre. The
results however are very satisfactory
and on some of the land the yield I think
is doubled and on none of it less than
one and a half times what it would have
been without the Bone Dust. I used
on a portion of my erop Guano and Bone
Flour side by side. The Bone Flour
shows much the best results. Used lib
erally, I believe the Flour of Raw Bone
will pay and pay well.
REUBEN LATIMER.
OakLEY MiLs Man. Co.,—Gentle
men: I herein give you the result of
my experience with your Flour of Raw
Bone on my corn crop.
Last April I bought from you 1 bl
of Bone Dust. I also bonght about the
same amount of Guano, and used thesc
manures as follows: I soaked my seed
corn about 24 hours in water and then
rolled it in land plaster and planted the
best land in the field with a tabie spoon
ful of Guano to each hill of corn. I
then planted the poorest part of the
field with corn soaked as before and
rolled in land plaster and put at each
hill about one table spoonful of your
Flour of Raw Bone. In this part of the
field I left two stalks to the hill, but only
left one stalk to the hill where I had
Guano. I am well satistied that the
land where I put “Flour of DBone” has
at least 4 more corn on it than where
I put the Guano, almost every stalk in
the Bone Dust part of the ficld has a
good ear of corn and there are twostalks
to the hill.
lam so well satisfied with the Flour
of Raw Bone, that I am now determined
to use it hereafter in preference to Gu
ano. And I invite any farmer to look
at my corn and see if I am not right.
Yours Respectfully,
AnranaM GREEN.
P. S.—l have walked over the field
of corn described in above and think the
above statements are correct.

MIXTURE OF RACES.
Agassiz, in his lately published work
on Brazil, has the following on the mix
ture of races :
Let any one who doubts the evil of
this mixture of races, and is inclined
from a mistaken philanthropy, to break
down the barriers between them, come
to Brazil. He cannot deny the derteri
‘oration consequent upon an almalgama
tion of races more wide-spread hers
‘than in any other country in the world,
‘and which is rapidly affecting the bes:
’qualities of the white man, the negro
‘and the indian leaving a mongrel nonde
‘seript, type, deficient in physical and
'mental energy. At a time when the
‘new social status of the negro is a sub
ject of vital importance in our statesman
ship, wo should profit by the experience
of a country where, though slavery ex
ists, there is far more liberality toward
the free negro than hehas ever enjoyed
in the United States. Let us learn the
double lesson; openall the advantages
of education to the negro, and give him
every chance of success which culture
gives to the man who knows how to use
it; but respect the laws of nature, and
let all dealings with the black man tend
to preserve, as far as possible the dis
tinctness of his national characteristies,
‘and the integrity of our own.
THE BEST OF ALL SCHOOI’
The fireside is a seminary of mfii
importance because it is universak
because the education it bestows, being’
woven in with the woof of childhood,
gives form and color to the whole tex
ture of life. There are few who can re
ceive the honors of a college, but all are
graduates of the hearth. The learning
of the university may fade from the re
collection, its classic lore may moulder
in the halls of memory, but the simple
lessons of Lome, enamelled upon the
heart of childhood, defy the rust of years,
and outlive the more mature but less
vivid pictures of after years. So deep,
so lasting, indeed, are the impressions of
early life, that you often see 2 man in
the imbecility of age, holding fresh in
his recollection the events of childhood,
while all the wide space between that
and the present hour is a blasted and
forgotten waste. You have, perchance,
geen an old obliterated portrait; and in

IS THERE ANOTHER LIFE ?
" BY MISS MATTIE CHAPMAXN,
Another life! Another world! With
what strange meaning these words are
fraught! They ever arrest the way
ward thoughts, and stir the inquiries of
the heart. Our imaginations are ever
traversing the etherial space of the
Universe, to catch a view of that mys
terious other world. Yet, they ever re
turn to us, weary-worn and unsatisfied.
Sometimes the soul would ask: Is it a
reality, this future life of man?{ or is it
a fervid, deceptive dream, that will end
with this short, mysterious life? Is it,
like the body, to be consigned to decath,
and the grave—its high aspirations for
knowledge, purity and happiness, to be
put out in forgetfulness? Are its cease
less thirstings for glory, light, and ever
lasting life, to be perfected? Oh! tell
me, are the chords of love and friend
ship, that have been rudely severed by
the hand of Death, to be re-united never
again, and the friends that part with us
here to meet us no more forever? Oh!
why is the human heart thus created,
with deep and lasting affections, bright
and glorious hopes, high and noble aspi
rations, if never to be realized? DBut,
nay, we know there is another world !—
The Spirit of God speaks to our souls,
in tones unnistakable, of a life unweak
ened by frail mortality, undimmed by
sorrow and care ; a life unclouded by
folly and sin, and unembittered by pain
and death ; there, the broken tics of
earth shall be re-united, and there
Time’s desolating footsteps shall never
roam. Wereit not for the small voice
that falls upon the heart, in the hour of
its trial and suffering, when the spirit
droops and sighs over the leart’s lone
liness and desolation, amid its blighted
hopes and chilied affections—when those
who onced filled it with joy, light, and
love, are taken away ! away so far, into
the unknown bevond, and the restless
spirit chafes against its “‘prison house of
clay,” and longs to proudly soar away
from this dreary, darkened Earth, to
find its lost ones in a brighter, purer
sphere—then, how could this heart well
endure such pain as this, were it not for
this still, small voice that falls so softly,
soothingly, upon the troubled spirit, and
tells it to struggle on and suffer, in view
of this life to come.
And yet, fully delineated, how little
do we know of our future destiny I—how
little, even of to-morrow ! DBeyond the
boundary of Earth, these mortal eyes
cannot penetrate. We canuot follow
the departing spirit of some loved one to
the brink of the “Dark River,” as it
starts off on its unknown journey to
another world ; but there we must turn
back. Beyond all is mystery impene
trable; yet, could we snatch away the
“yeil of mortality” from these eyes, me
thinks we could see them, ere the fare
wells are hushed on Earth, greet their
lotig lost friends on the shores of the
éther world; and our ears might catch
thesmusic of harp-strings swept by an
genlic fingers, as they strike up their
triumphant notes to proclaim the victory
of another soul over Death and the
G ‘
"'llhrglfi Death and the Grave mnst
we all gOyre we inherit the joys of that
lorious other world. The soul cannot
Ec'ape—’tis bound to Earth by chains
lof clay, and encircled by the “River of
kth.” How often, when the soul
ws weary of the burdens and disap
pointments of life, does it long to burst
these bonds? But Fate points to the
Dark River, and the pillow of dust!—
Then the timid soul shrinks into its
“prison house of clay,” in woe and des
pair, till Faith discerns the bright ray of
light which has lit up the dark way since
the passage through it of Death’s great
Conquerer. :
Isit strange, that when ‘we contem
plate this future existence, we should
wondor and fear? Is it strange, the
heart, bewildered in the maze of alter
nate hopes and fears, is ever asking,
where ?
“Till Faith and Hope, bes boons to mortals given, |
Catch the bright ray, and point us up to Heaven.” |

Mewrius, TENN., August 28.
To-day I have enjoyed ‘‘big talks”
enough to have gratitied any of the fa
mous Indian chiefs who have been treat
‘ing with General Sherman for the past
two years. First I met General N. B.
Forrest, then General Gideon J. Pillow,
and Gov. Isham G. Harris. My first
visit was to General Forrest, whom I
found at his office at 8 o’clock this morn
ing, hard at work, although complaining
of an illness contracted at the New York
Convention. The New Yorkers must
be a hard set indeed, for I have not met
a single delegate from the Southern
States who has not been ill ever since he
went there. DBut to General Forrest.—
Now that the Southern people have ele
vated him to the position of their great
leader and oracle, it may not be amiss
to preface my conversation with him
with a brief sketch of the gentleman.
I cannot better personally describe
him than by borrowing the language of
one of his biographers. “In person, he
is six feet, one inch and a half in height,
with broad shoalders, a full chest and
symmetrical, muscular limbs; erect in
carriage, and weighs one hundred and
cighty-five pounds: dark grey eyes,
dair hair, mustache, and beard worn
upon the chin; a set of regular white
teeth, and clearly cut features;”’ which
altogether, make him rather a handsome
man for one of forty-seven years of age.
Previous to the war—in 1852—he left
the business of planter, and came to this
city and engaged in the business of “‘ne
gro trader,” in which traffic he seems to
have been quite successful, for, by 1861,
he had become the owner of two planta
tions a few miles below here, in Missis
sippi, on which he produced about a
thousand bales of cotton each year, in
the mean time carrying on the negro
trading. In June, 1861, he was au
thorized by Governor Harris to recruit
a regiment of cavalry for the war, which
he did, and which was the nucleus
around which he gathered the army
which he commanded as a Lieutenant-
General at the end of the war.
After being seated in his office, I said :
“General Forrest, ] came especially
to learn your views in regard to the con
dition of your civil and political affairs
in the State of Tennessce, and the South
generally. I desire them for publica
tion in the Cincinnati Commercial. 1
do not wish to misrepresent you in the
slightest degree, and therefore only ask
for such views as you are willing I should
publish.”
“I have not now,” he replied, ‘‘and
never have had, any opinion on any
public or political subject which Iwould
object to having published. I mean
what I say, honestly and earnestly, and
only object to being misrepresented. I
dislike to be placed before the country
in a false position, especially as I have
not sought the reputation which I have
gained.”
I replied: “Sir, I will publish only
what you say, and then you can not pos-l
sibly be misrepresented. Qur people
desire to know your feelings toward the }
Geeneral Government, the State Govern
ment of Tennessee, the Radical party,
both in and out of the State and upon
the question of negro suffrage.”
“Well, sir,” said he, ““when I surren
dered my seven thousand men in 1865,
I accepted a parole, honestly, and have
observed it faithfully up to to-day. I
have counseled peace in all the speeches
I have made I have advised my people
to submit to the laws of the State, op
pressive as they are, and unconstitution
al as I believe them to be. I was pa
roled and not pardoned until the issu
ance of the last proclamation of general
amnesty, and therefore did not think it
prudent for me to take any active part
until the oppression of my people be
came so great that they could not en
dure it, and then I would be with them.
My friends thought differently, and sent
me to New York, and I am glad that I
went there.”
“Then, I suppose, General, that you
think the oppression has become so great
th:t your people should net longer bearJ
it.
“No,” he answered, ‘it is growing
worse hourly, yet I have said to the peo
ple stand fast, let us try to right the
wrong by legislation. A few weeks ago
I was called to Nashville to counscl with
other gentleman who bad been promi
nently identified with the cause of the
Confederacy, and we then offercd pledg-
es which we thought would be satisfac
tory to Mr. Brownlow and his Legisla
ture, and we told them that if they would
not call out the militia we would agreeto
preserve order, and see that the laws
were enforced. The Legislative Com
mittee certainly led me to believe that
our proposition would be accepted, and
no militia organized. DBelieving this, I
came home, and advised all of my peo
ple to remain peaceful, and offer no re
sistance to any reasonable law. It is
true that I never have recognized the
Eresent Government in Tennesseo as
‘having any legal existence, yet I was
‘willing to submit to it for a time, with
the hope that our wrongs might be right
ed peaceably.”
“What are your feclings toward the
Federal Government 1”
“I loved the old Government in 1861,
love the old Constitution yet. I think
it the best Government in the world if
administered as it was before the war.
I do not hate it; I am opposing now on
ly the radical revolutionists who are try
ing to destroy it. I believe that party
to "¢ composed, ac I know it is in Ten
nessce, of the worst men on God’s earth
—men who would hesitate at no crime,
and who have only one object in view,
to enrich themseclves.”
“In the event of Governor Brown
low’s calling out the militia, do you
think there will be any resistance offer
ed to their acts %’ I asked.
“That will depend upon circumstan
ces. If the militia are simply called out,
and do not interfere with or molest any
one, Ido not think there will be any
fight. If, on the contrary, they do what
I believe they will do, commit outrages,
or even one outrage upon the people,
they and Mr. Brownlow’s Government
will be swept out of existence; not a
radical will be left alive. If the mili
tia are called out, we cannot but look
upon it as a declaration of war, because
Mr. Brownlow has already issued his
proclamation directing them to shoot
down the Kuklux wherever they find
them, and he calls all Southern men Ku
klux.
“Why, General, we people up North
have regarded the Kuklux Klan as an
organization which existed only in tho
frightened imaginations of a few politi
cians.”
“Well, there is such an organiza
tion not only in Tennesse, but all over
the South, and their numbers have not
been exaggerated.”
“What are its numbers, General §”
“In Tennessee there are over 40,000,
in all the Southern States they number
about 550,000 men.”
“What is the character of the organi
zation, may I enquire?
“Yes, sir. It is a protective, politi
cal, military organization. lam willing
toshow any man the constitution of the
society, The members are sworn to
recognize ths Government of the United
States. Itdoes not say any thing at all
about the Governmeut of the State of
Tennessee. Its objects originally were
protection against the Loyal Leagues
and the Grand Army of the Republic,
but after it became general, it was found
that political matters and interests could
best be promoted within it, and it was
then made a political organization, giv
ing its support, of course, to the Demo
cratic party.”
“But is the organization connected
throughout the Statel”
“Yesit is. In each precinct there ig
a Captain, who, in addition to his other
duties, is required to make out a list of
names of men in his precinct, giving all
¢he Radicals and all the Democrats who
are positively known, and showing the
doubtful on both sides and of both colors.
This list of names is~forwarded to the
Grand Commander of the State, who is
‘thus enabled to know who are our friends
‘and who are not.”
“Can you, or are you at liberty to
give me the commanding officer of
this State 1"
“No, it would be impolitic.”
“Then I suppose that there can be no
doubt of a conflict if the militia interfere
with the pcople; is that your view 1
