Georgia and Slavery.
Chronicle and Oonatilutionsllst.
Occasionally, we get from an other
wise unfriendly source, some conceB-
iione that show how the touoh of na
ture makes even North and South kin.
Here is the Cincinnati Gazette, in a dis
cussion of the slavery question, admit
ting that "from the colony of Georgia
slaves were intended to be forever ex
cluded by its founder, Oglethorpe, and
they were not admitted there till 1759,”
long after Massachusetts itself had be
come a slave State; for, says the Ga
zette: "In 1765 they numbered 2,750
in that colony, of whom 1,270 were in
Mon." It says further:
After suoh emphatic testimony (what
ever the subsequent practice) it must be
somewhat surprising to one who sud
denly meets the fact for the first time
to learn that Rev. President Jonathan
Edwards, the greatest divine of New
England, (1703-58, not to be confound
ed with his son of that same name, who,
in 1791, was vehement in exactly the
opposite direction), owned slaves and
wrote in defense of the slave trade.
Prof. Fowler, one of the local historians
of Connecticut, from whom we quote,
also says: "Such men as Rev. John
Davenport of New Haven, and Rev.
Theophilus Eaton, the founders of the
colony (of Connecticut), Rev. Joseph
Elliott of Guildford, the son of th
apostle John Elliott, * * * owned
slaves.” The ‘apostle’ himself, while
he bore the vigorous testimony against
neglecting the souls of negro slaves
and withholding the means of educa
tion from them, had nothing to say
against the crime of slavery in itself.
The following passage, or rather the
parenthetic exclamation in undertone,
from Mann Butler’s history of Kentucky
published in 1834, expresses a senti
ment and conviction not at all uncom
mon throughout the South, down even
to that date: "The duties of the house
hold in the happy absence at that time
of alavee (would to God Kentucky could
always have escaped the curse and in
■Ruity of their condition) were disoharg-
eu by the females.” An indefinite num-
her of illustrations from Southern
sources are at our command—insomuch
mat one might almost claim that the
abolition agitation had its birth in the
bouth—but we forbear.
These facts should now and then
make compassionate, instead of bitter,
'he bowels of the good Deacon Smith,

Summer Fork Packing.
Gloolnnatl Price Current, Sept. 4.
Paoking operations have generally
been on a moderate scale only during
the past week, and fall below the pre
vious week and also the corresponding
time last year. The light movement of
hogB may be partly attributable to the
reluctance of farmers to accept current
prices, and partly because of the pros
pective supply of corn in most sections
of the West, and the desirability of hav
ing an amply Bupply of stock to which
to feed it.
The corn crop has developed very fa
vorably in the recent past; many upland
fields, which seme weeks ago gave very
discouraging promise, now giving as
surance of a fair yield. Of course much
depends on the weather conditions, more
especially as to quality than in regard
to quantity. Prices of hogs have not
varied much during the week, and at
the dose seemed to he somewhat firm
er. The total paoking in the West
since March 1st is now approximately
2,610,000 against 2,465,000 last year, an
increase of145,000. There seems little
doubt but that the summer season will
close with an increase of 100,000 or
more compared with last year, notwith
standing the evidences in March point
ing td a decreased number. Nor does it
now appear likely that this increased
marketing duringAhe summer has made
any unusual encroachment upon the
winter supply, the prospects for which
give promise of a number fully equal to
any previous season. The unexpected
increase in the summer supply may be
largely if not wholly attributed to the
unusual freedom from disease among
swine the past season, whereby a much
larger than ordinary proportion of stock
has attained maturity and marketable
conditions.
The provision market has had some
depression during the week, but it is
again assuming a stronger tone, with a
belief that there is not likely to be much
if any surplus of meats, though with a
laok of speculative feeling there is not
much animation in prospect.
Special reports to the Cincinnati
Price Current show the number of hogs
packed at the under-mentioned places
since March 1, compared with the same
time last year, as follows:

Clouds of Mosquitoes.
Mcu Working With Heavy Sheets Over
Their Heads.
New York Evening Telegram.]
The other day a group of ’longshore
men stood on the pier in Lewes, Del,,
waving their hats and hankerchiefs
around their heads as though filled with
enthusiasm awakened by some cause
that was not then apparent. But when
the passengers in tne Old Dominion
steamer landed they began waving hats
and handkerchiefs vigorously. The
cause of these demonstrations was a
cloud , of mosquitoes. At the railway
station in Lewes there were fireB of pen
nyroyal and other weeds burning in
front of the windows to drive out the
insects, and the passengers were glad to
get into the smoke and enjoy a mo
ment’s immunity from the annoyance.
At Rehoboth station, on the Junotion
and Breakwater railway, the mosquitoes
were more numerous than in Lewes.
The negroes in the peach orchards had
their heads covered with old sheets,
with holes out through for their eyes.
The meu around the depot and the pas
sengers in waiting had their heads cov
ered with mosquito nets like vails. It
impossible to was purchase a piece of
mosquito netting in the neighborhood.
While the stages were waiting a man
was stationed at the head of each horse
to hold the nearly frantic animals. At
Rehoboth Beach the mosquitoes were
thioker than at the station. There were
at the beginning of the week over four
hundred guests at the Bright House,
and on Friday not twenty-five remain
ed. They had been, driven away by the
mosquitoes. Persons walking in the
streets were nearly obscured by the
clouds of mosquitoes around them. By
bringing the hands together a handful
of mosquitoes could be caught at a sin
gle sweep. The ladies’ light dresses
were almost black, so thickly were they
covered. The hotel proprietors were so
pestered by the inseots that they seemed
not to care whether their guests remain
ed or not. Double nets on the windows
and darkened rooms gave partial relief,
but the mosquitoes made their way
everywhere. It was only by having a
negro over each person at the table that
the guests could partake of their meals.
It is said that the winds and muggy
weather brought them from the South
Jersey and Delaware swamps, and that
the pest would probably be ended with
a strong wind from the ocean. Sailors
say that they met the mosquitoes many
miles out at sea—something they never
before experienced. Nearly all the places
along the coast were similarly infested,
but none of them to the same extent as
the part of Delaware.
Lively Stock Operations.
The current of recent events has given
great impetus to business in Wall street,
and may successful turns are reported
where immense profits are made in short
periods. The most successful way that
we have beard of yet for operating in
stocks iB by the Combination Method of
Messrs. Lawrence & Co., Bankers, New
York. Bj this system thousands of
orders in various sums are pooled into
one vast capital and operated under the
most experienced and skillful manage
ment, thus securing to each shareholder
superior advantages and profits, not
possible in any other way. Profits are
at end of 30 day. A gentleman in
Boston, made $747.30 on an investment
of $100. Many others are doing as well
or better. Capital in any amouut from
$10 to $100,000 can be used with equal
proportionate success by this Combina
tion or Co-operative Method. $15
would make $76, or 5 per cent, on the
stock; $100 would return $900, or 9 per
cent. during*the month and so on, ac
cording to the market. The new cir
cular contains "two unerring rules for
success” and full information, so that
any one can operate with profit. Stocks
and bonds wanted. Deposits received.
Government bonds supplied. Apply to

The testimonials of permanent cures of Skin

of a lifetime, by the Cutloura Remedies, are
more wonderful than any ever, before performed
by any methods or remedies known to the mod.
lesl profession.
Outioura Rosolvont, a powerful Blood Purifier,
is the only purifying agent whtoh finds its way
into the circulating fluid and thence through
the oil and aweat glands to the surface of the
skin, thus destroying the poisonous elements
with whioh these vessels havo been dally
ohtrged.
Cuticura, Tho Great Skin Cure, applied exter

whioh cover the surface of the diseased glands
and tubes with Bealy, Itohing and IrrltatiBg
Humors, speedily it removes them, leaving the

SALT RHEUM~F0R 30 YEARS
On the Head, Face and Greater Part of
tbe Body, Cured.
Messrs. Weeks A Potter: Gentlomen—I have
been a great sufferer with Salt Rheum for SO
years, commencing in my head and face and
extending over the greater part of my body. I
hare taken gallons of medloinea for the blood of
different kinds and tried good physicians, all of
whioh did me no good, and I oame to the conola.
sion that I oould not be cured. But a friend
called my attention to an artiole in tho Union
on akin diseases, and I got a box of Cationra.
The first application was a great relief and tho
third took the seales all off, and I felt like a
new man. I have u*ed three 50-oent boxes and
my skin la smooth, and I oonsider myself an:
tlrely eared. Hoping that this may bo seen by
some one afflieted as I have been (if there is
any) is my earnest wish. And I oheerfully rec
ommend It to ali persons affliotod with like dis-
easos. Yours truly,

A Modern Miracle. Astonishing Results
from the Use of CUTICURA.

The
county had employed all of onr doctor, and

The patient commenced using the Cuticura
and immediately began getting better.
He had been oonfinod to hie bed for two and
one-half yoars. Had not had hla clothes on
during this time. Last week he dressed for the
first time.
When he walked there would at least one
quart of sealea come off of him.
This happened every day.
Wa think it is a wondorful cure.

COMMON. SENSE VIEWS
FOREIGN LANDS.
BY M. DWINELL.
Illinois has a statute which declares
that it "shall not be lawful for any body
of men whatever, other than the regu
lar organized volunteer militia of this
State and the troops of the United
States, to associate themselves together
as a military company or organization,
or to drill or parade with armB, in any
city or town of this State, without the
license of the Governor thereof, which
license may at any time be revoked.”
The Socialist societies of Cnipago are or
ganized as military bodies, and carry
guns when they parade. The authori
ty* arrested one of their number under
the law quoted, and it was agreed on
both sides to made this a teBt case. Judge
Barnum has decided, and the rest of
the Circuit Court agree with him, that
any law prohibiting military compa
nies to carry arms is unconstitutional,
because it is an inherent right guaran
teed to our free people. Tne Socialists
are jubilant, and will parade on Sun
day next, with guna^
The London Economist says that
only one section of the House of Com

the past session. The Home Rulers
