Jifefdhuicasis. Charles D. Bearce, Esq., a merchant of Portland, Maine, having recently made quite an extended trip through the South, on his return home, submitted his conclus sions in the following communication. As Mr. B. was born and bred in the ‘ Lumber State,” and might be supposed a thorough going Yankee, his account of what he saw and learned, possesses double interest. It has appeared iu a number of our news pa pern . A TRIP TO TIIE SOUTH. From the Argus, Portland, Maine.] Editor of Argus— Dear Sir : — Having recently spent considerable time in the South, I have often felt inclined to com municate with your readers; hut so many conflicting reports of that part of the c >uns try have been made, and I did not know but I might have to change or modify my own “firstimpressions” and did not wish to express any opinions until I had for my self seen and heard all 1 possibly could, —I have forborne communicating until now. From the reports we often see in newspa pers, one would suppose it would he ud pleasant if not dangerous for Northern peo ple to travel in the South. It is to correct such impressions that I wish to make a few observations, and it is perhaps proper for me to state what my facilities for observa tion have been. I have made the acquaint ance of peop’e from every southern state and talked with them very freely, hearing all they had to say. My mere personal ex perisuce has been, however, (south of Washington) in the state’s of Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. I have traveled by day, and by night, in rail cars and on steamers, in stage coaches and by private convey ance, revisited many places. Spen consid erable time in towns on the line of the rail roads, and in country places way from the line of railroad, mixing freely with the people at all times ; and in justice must say that 1 have never seen or heard the least thing that could be objectionable to the most fastidious. I met with nothing hut kindness throughout the Saith, and this is the testimony of every Northern man 1 met, except of the carpet-bag order, without exception. There is an old, and I fear almost forgotten command , —“Thou shalt not hear false witness against thy neig bor,” and I cannot c mceive why such false reports are still circulated at the North in regard to the people of the South, unless it is intended to foster and encour age a spirit of animosity between the two sections,- a spirit that does not exist among the Southern people. I verily believe there is more of a spirit of vindictiveness existing in the North than is at the South from the very fact that these false and exaggerated reports are be lieved. and the people do not understand the feelings of the people of the South. Designing politicians are the bane and pois on of the people both North and South. The state of Georgia is the only unrecon structed aod unrepresented State of the former Union \ why she remains so it is ditieult to tell. Having complied with all the requisitions of Congress as they have from time to time been made, it is yet un certain whether its state government is pro visional, or actual—whether the state is subject to civil or military rule—whether to one or the other, or both. How long its present state government shall continue in office, is dependent upon the sovereign will and pleasure of that august body, —the Congress of the United States, —and yet the state is quiet, more quiet than her enemies wish. “Outrages” in Georgia are reported in Washington for effect there—hut the people at home know nothing of them w hatever. I do not intend to say that every man in Georgia feels that he has nothing to com plain of—dt would be strange if it were so —and if we of any Northern states would put ourselves in the place of the people of that state we should find it a situation nut particularly calculated to make us “thff meekest of men”—but I do say “let the dead part bury its dead.” There is not a more law abiding people existing than the people ot Georgia to-day. The sentimennt of-their hearts and the action of their lives is in accordance with that sentiment that ought to mean something,— ‘ L fc t us have peace.” The state of Georgia, is an impor tant one in every respect and mav well be termed “the Empire State of the Suuh.” Great in extent—with a favorable climate and a fertile soil, it produces almost every thing desirable. With sufficient water power f»r ail manufacturing purposes— well supplied with timber—and rich in its mineral productions, combined with its un rivalled agricultural resources, the state is indeed an empire of itself. The best of timber from the forest, Iron, Coal, and all the other precious metals from the mines,— C tton, Corn, Wheat, Oats, Potatoes, all the vegatables and almost all the fruits from the earth, invite the skillful hand of man to this region, and Manufacturies and W orkshops must follow a natural demand. The vast resources of this great state are becoming known, and the people, too, who reside here and have made it the first among the Southern States. To gain some knowledge of Georgia and her people I traveled over the state in various directions, visiting cities, towns and villages, and spending some time in country places,— calling upon the people in their houses of business—at their workshops—upon their plantations— at their homes, —and in all places I met not only with gentlemanly civility, but true kindness and the most hos pitible treatment. I found the people in dustrious, temperate and moral in every respect, and I never passed the same length of time in a more well-ordered community. In regard to the material prosperity of the South I do not propose to speak at length. It will be remembered that the war left that people poor, desolate, and powerless. No one who has not been there, can form a definite idea of tiie suffering and hardships imposed upon the people from the effects us the war. The mannef in which the South has re cuperated itself, and the people have risen from their recent deplorable condition speaks well for their energy, industry and perseverance, and must commend itself to the admiration of all, except those who seem to envy them their present prosperity, and whose intense “loyalty” would rather see them still further humbled in the dust of humiliation. In regard to the two classes—white and black, there is now, I believe, no ill will existing, nor has there been, except where it has been engendered by designing people fjr selfish purposes Left to themselves, the whites and blacks will get along well together and harmonize for the best good of both races. There certainly is no enrni ty on the part of the whites toward the blacks; a very kind feeliDg certainly ex ists between them. I have had too much, own persohal f o6§^a?finf; o ro>U& u wWfIL «?,Y a moment. The sooner each race is fairly emancipated from outside influences the better for all concerned, and true philan throphy will dictate harmony rather than antagonism. Not long since in a debate in the Senate of the United States, I heard a Senator from one of the Northern States regret “the deplorable ignorance of the South” and he was one who had shown his appreciation of the value of education by giving his aid in making the most benighted and ignorant masses of the South the gov erning class there to the exclusi m of the ed ucated and the responsible. In my estima tion the ignorance of the North in regard to the people of the S uth is as “deplora ble” as any that exists anywhere. No fair minded person who is acquainted there, but will admit that there is as much ot virtue, culture, refinement, and delicacy among the ladies —and as much of intelli gence, truthfulness, honor, and manliness among the men of the South as can he found in the North, however much our prejudices may incline us so often “to that k God that we are not a* other men” “or even as this Southerner There is good every where. I only wish that greater numbers of Northern people would visit the South and s“e and judge U>r themseves “what manner of men” there are there, and if any should conclude to take up their abode there they would find a hospitable people, a gen ial climate, and a fru tful soil. I have no farther interest in the South than to attempt to correct erroneous opinions, and do some little justice in speaking of the people of that section as I have found them. 1 have only to add that the crops at the South are now looking finely, and there is every prospect of a rich harvest. The people are quiet, hopeful, und prosperous, under the circumstances, and hope sometime to he recognized as having equal rights with the rest of mankind. With the tide of emigra tion that must flow in that direction, ns soon as the advantages there are known and appreciated, the South must become a great people. If people will take the trouble to investigate and judge for themselves. I have no doubt the South will soon become the home of many who wish a more con genial climate thaD is to he found farther north. Chas. D. Bearce. Important to Merchants. — By decision of tne Supreme Court on the 2d day of February, 1870, it is held that a merchant may de ; H in tobacco and cigars, when these articles are kept for varieties, with out being considered a cigar or tobacco dealer, as contemplated in the Ilevc-nue Act. In accordance with this decision, no persou will he required to take out license as a tobacco or cigar dealer, unless these articles are his particular trade. The §ame ruling will embrace the sale of drugs, when sold by merchants as an incident to a rfeneral trade.” “ Washington,” exclaimed a member ot a Nashville Rebating club, in stento rian tunes, “Washington was a great man : he was a good man ; he was a noble man ; his mind had a powerful grasp of the fu“ ture : if ever a mar. was non compos mentis, Washington was that man. In China, dinner for the richest or for the poorest consists of the same number of courees, viz , fifty-two. The only diffi ference is that the rich man hurries through in a (lay, while the poor man takes his course more leisurely—one a week. j PRIMITIYE STOCK OF THE HORSE. A French author who has been making a careful study of the In r-e, in its modern varieties, as well as of the fossil remains fiut'd in different parts of the Old World, i announces as his belief that eight kinds formerly existed in Europe, Asia, and Africa, of which certain well-known ’ modern races are the lineal descendants. He divides them by their skulls (as many ethnologists do those of the human race) into the brachycepliatic and the dull hoce j phalic , or. the short-headed and the long headed. Os each of these he recognixcs ; four varieties. Os the first section, one j variety belonged originally to the plateau of Central Asia, and ha* been distributed throughout the whole circle of the Indo , European nations, especially by tho Goths. In modern times it has been introduced, as the arab race, into northern Africa ami western Europe ; its most marked form at | the present day being tho English ruee : horse. The next variety was the African horse, a na'ivo of northeastern Africa, probably of Nubia. This is distinguished from the rest, among other characteristics, by having | one lumbar vertebra less than Usual. It ! occurs nowhere in a state of purity ; hut ; was introduced into Spain and France by the Moors and Saracens, where its modern i forms arc known as Barbs Andalusians, ; etc. The third variety belonged to Ireland and Wales, where its various descendants j are yet to he met with. Thence it was carried to the coast of Armorica (now Brit tany) by the Bretons; and its races are known as the Irish pony, and the Breton horse. The fourth Variety Was the British horse, belonging to ancient Britain, and now lound on both shores of the Straits of Dover, it is known in England as the Black hors”, the Norfolk horse, etc ; and in France, as the Boulonnaise. Os the dolichocephalic group the first va riety is the German horse, originally from the Duchi’S and tho Danish islrnds, and represented at the present time by the va rious kinds of German horses, the Norman horse, the English dray-horse, etc. The second, or Frisian variety, came from Friesland, and is still known in Flan ders as the Flemish horse. The third, or Belgian horse, belonged to the valley of the Meuse, its descendants forming the horses of Brabant, Ilainault, Liege, etc. The fourth and last variety is the horse of the Seine, and its deseenants are found to the west of Paris, the most marked race being tne celebrated Percheron horse. Our author apologizes for thus multiplying the varieties, or perhaps species of horse ; hut expresses his confident expectations of being able, in a forthcoming work, to establish them all as distinct, by unmistakable zoological and other characteristics.— Harper. Impressive Reading—The Lokd’s Pray er.—M my years ago the incident reflated in tbe^ Uy;-, v ‘f7 r C,;~by ’ a'*ilisfVfi guTsffe’cf member of Congress, w hose love of good reading, whether in the pulpit or on the stage, amounted almost to a passion. He was, himself, one of the best unprofes« signal readers we ever listened to, and but few of the most eminent divines in the land could compare with him as an impressive reader of the “Word,” in which among riends, he delighted to indulge—hence Booth’s re iding of’ the Lord’s Prayer made an indelible impression upon his mind : “When the elder Booth was residing in Baltimore, a pious, urbane old gentleman 1 of that city, healing of his wonderful power of elocution, one day invited him to dinner, although always deprecating the stage and all theatrical performaneo*. A large com pany sat down at the table, and on return ing to the drawing room, one of them asked Booth, as a special favor to them all. to re peat the Lord’s Prayer. He signified bis willingness to gratify them and all eyes were fixed upon him. He slowly and rev erently arose from his chair, trembling with the burden of two great conceptions. He had to realize the character, attributes an 1 presence of the Almighty Being, he was Jo address. He was to transform him«- self into a poor, benighted, needy suppli cant, offering homage, asking bread, par don, light and guidance. Says one of the company who was present: “It was won derful to w atch the play of emotions that convulsed his countenance. He became deathly pale and his eyes, turned trem b'ing upwards, were wet with tears. A* yet he had not spoken. The silence could be felt ; it had become absolutely painful, until at last the spell was broken as if by an electric shock, as his rich-t n?d voice syllulel forth. ‘Our Fa ! e”, which art in Heaven,’ etc., with a pathos and fervid | solemnity which thrilled all hearts. He I finished : the silence continued : not a voice | was heard nor a muscle moved in his rapt i audience, until from a remote corner of the : room, a subdued sob was heard, and the old gentleman (the host) stepping forward with steaming eyes and tottering frame, seized Booth by the hand. ‘Sir,’ said he, in broken accenfs, ‘you have afforded me j a pleasure for which my whole future life 1 will feel grateful. I arn an old man, and ’ every day from my boyhood to the present i time I have repeated the L rd’s Prayer ; ! but I never heard it before, never ’.’ ‘You ! are right,’ replied Booth, ‘to read that : prayer as it should he read caused me the severest study and labor for thir:y years, I am far from satisfied with my rendering of that wonderful production. Hardin one person in ten thousand comprehends how much beauty, tenderness and grandeur can he condensed in a space so si ruble. The prayer itself sufficiently illustrates the truth of the Bible, and stamps upon it the seal of divinity.’ ” A Phenomenon. —A Scotch lecturer un dertook to explain to a village audience the word phenomenon. “Maybe, my friends, ye dinna ken what a phenomenon may he. Well, I’ll tell ye: Wve seen a coo (cow) na doubt. Well, a coo’s not a phenomenon. You’ve seen an apple tree. Well, an ap ple tree's not a phenomenon. But when you see a coo going up the apple tree tail foremost, to pu’ the apples, it’s a phenome non.” The Springfield (Massachusetts) Re publican thinks it would be “an excel lent thing for ths country to have two such dead-in earnest men as Wendell Phillips and Andrew Johu.-on in Congress.” Cultivate Luvfe for tuf, Beautiful —- If you wish to enjoy life --t » have a con tented mitul—a constant j*y welling up in your heart, overtiming in deeds of kind ness to ydur neighbor—if you wish to fit yourselt f*r the oorapaoy of angels iu another world—cultivate a love tor the beautitul. The earth is full of beau'r, and we need but a restoration of the inward, sense which takes cognizance of the good, the beautiful, to preeeive it ; this we can obtain only by cultivation. Make home beautiful. Look at the homes of our coun try ; how few come near the standard ! Iu the Country, a house situated in an open field, or on a barren hillside—no trees, no shrubs, no 11 >wers ; externally all is dull, gloomy, desolate—a saoritno to the god of mam toon. How very often do wo find the inside corresponding, uud the hearts of the dwellers there in withering, drying up ! We love our homes notwithstanding this— a merciful provision of the Almighty for our happiness. How much more should we love them if we could associate with them thoughts ol beauty, of pleasant proa-* peets, of the well-kept iaxvn, of the neat walks, the shade of trees, the budding flowers, the twining rose that almost curs tains our windows, the honeysuckle trained on the old porch, shutting out the burning rays of the summer’s sun, and perfuming the air with its fragrant odor! Such thoughts are recalled with pleasure throughout the journey of life—m green spot iu the mem ory, which naught can efface. Beautify your home, then, if not from any delight you take in it, at least lor your childrens’ ,-ake ; to them it may prove of more service than your hoarded wealth—a cot s ant sales grand against many of tho sins of this un t ward generation. Scud hr's Journal of Health. Presence of mini>. — The following an ecdote illustrates several things ; am »ng others tho presence of mind of' medical students, and the absence of ditto, some times, in cabmen. A medical student, re turning home late in a cab, recollected, upon finding he had no money to jay his fare, that he had dropped two sovereigns at the bottom of the cab. He told tho cab man, in an agitated manner, of his loss, and begged of him to wait till he had got a candle to look for them. lie went into the hall to look for one, but while falling over the chairs in search of a lucifer, he heard the cab go off. He ran to the door, and, to his astonishment, saw r the cab galloping as fast as it could down the street. He hallo ed, and called, and shouted, but the cabman was so deaf that he could not hear him. Ihe medical student, however, went quiets ly to bed, and instead of reproaching him self for the deception he had practised on the cabman, laughed heartily at the in genious way in which begot home for noth-* ing. ‘ Poor Richard's” Tact. —Th >se who tw>&& &)/.

It rests entirely with each of us whether that period becomes the Devil’s or God’s hour. Woman’s Laugh. —A woman has no nat ural grace more bewitching than a sweet laugh. It leaps from her heart in a dear sparkling rill ; and the heart that hears it fee's bathed in the exhilarating spring.
