Our friends of the North, especi ally of New Eugland, have so long talked of their superiority to us semi- barbarians of the South, that they have really come to believe it is so. We have no desire to disparage the people of that great section, but we have always thought that there were some traits of southern character which they might well imitate. Rev. S. S. Sweet, of Georgia, is taking a northern tour, and writiug to the Savannah News. W e quote from taislettere two life-pictures." first from Boston, dated July 19, is as follows: “There is apparently a supreme selfishness manifested in every indi vidual, and at the same time a studied politeness. They treat you with the utmost consideration, so long as it does not interfere with their own comfort and desires. I cannot illus trate this peculiarity better than by giving an incident in connection with a friend of mine. A gentleman, who had shared the hospitality of my friend at his elegant home, inet him in Boston, where he resides. And in lieu of the attentions given by my friend, the Boston man, who met him very cordially, invited him and his wife to come around after tea and go with his family to church, and he would give them a seat in his pew. That and nothing more was tendered. There are exceptions to this rule, and no doubt some very hospitable peo ple live in Boston, hut I have not met them.” The other picture is ot a different thing ; but it is an illusttation of the same spirit of selfishness : “As I entered the Pullman sleeper. iking of the newly elected New Yor Senators, the Washington Post sayti ‘As between Miller and. Lap- bara Che latter is much the better man. Were it a mere question of meri, he should have beeu chosen at Miller ia.one oi the most nar- linded of monopolists, who be lieve in protection to his wood-pulp and little else. Lapham, on rary, though not a heavy gentleman of fairly I not known as an intriguer or trickster even 'rants own interests. Between him and Conk- ling, however, a wide gulf has opened wheijj formerly were relations of re spect and friendship, and the latter will probably never forgive the pre sumptuous congressman for daring to enter tbo senatorial race against him.

Senator Garland, of Arkansas, is fond ot ’possum, and he likes it best baked with “taters.” Tiie liberties of the country are safe with such a man. TnE Columbus Enquirer thinks Judge Twiggs ought to withdraw bis bill. If he doesn’t, it will probably be withdrawn for him, by a large ma jority. Yellow fever is reported in New Orleans, but not on good authority. Such reports always get out at this time of the year. There is no cause for alarm. Warner Miller is a tall, blues eyed man, and a Methodist, and an admirer of Grant. A Methodist ought to be a Christian ; but how can a Christian be fond of Grant ? I was aUrxcted by the sweet voice of a child saying, ‘Mamma, have I got 1 my hat on wrong ?’ The child was about five years old, with open, beau tiful countenance, and although mov ing listlessly about iu the car, lo my astonishment I discovered that she was totally blind. Her mother, a medium-sized lady, with an attractive form and-faoe that impressed me at once of its being of a southern type, answered tho child’s question. This mother and the children were trav eling alone to the far West. I called the little blind child to me, whom I,found intelligent and talkative. We became fast friends the remainder of our journey. A child so unfortunate arouses the deepest sympathy, and while I was ministering to some of her childish wants and answering' her question, tho mother approached me with the questions, ‘Are you not from the South ?’ to which I made an swer. ‘I thought so,’she continued, ‘for nono of these people ha\e any syntpa- thy or patience with my poor,unfortu nate child, and none seem to care how we get along.’ The story was short. The husband had preceded and established himself iu business, and the wife and the ba bies were hastening to share his good fortune. Of course my services were tendered, and most gratelnlly ac knowledged. The mother was from Maryland and retained all the fervor ot her first love lor her native land. At midnight, I bore tbo sightless and helpless child from our train at Mans field to the Chicago train that was to bear them to their loved one, and received the grateful thanks from a mother’s heart in return, and tie sweet good shy e and parting kiss from the blind little child. I was glad that I was from the South, and had a na ture that could be moved by others’ woes.’’ We submit for the consideration of the farmers ot our country the fol lowing truthful remarks of the Bal timore Sun : ‘The South can raise its own meat and bread quite as cheaply as it can buy them from the West or North. With its genial climate and fertile soil it is an agricultural anom aly that it should have to obtain corn and wheat from foreign markets, and with its millions of acres of pastur age and forests it should count its stock farms by the thousand and be able to supply its planters and farm ers with all kinds of meats. Such a system would be based on common sense principles and might be happily supplemented by a rational culture of cotton, which under these circum stances would pay far better than the monster crops which make great fig- ures’on paper, but leave few dollars in the planter’s pockets at the end of tho y ear.’ What One Patriotic American Would Do in Such an Event. From tho Detroit Free Press. Now, if I was President,’’ began Mr. Butterby the other morning, as he passed his cup over for a second cup of coffee, ‘if I was president of the United States—’ •Which yon aren’t, you know,’ broke in Mrs. B. in an argumentative and confidential tone. ‘And not likely to be,’ added Mrs. B.’s mother, with a contemptuous toss of her bead. - ‘No,* assented Mr. B. pleasantly, ‘but I was just supposing the case—’ ‘Then suppose something in reason,’ retorted Mrs. Butterby snappishly. ‘You might as well suppose you was the man in the moon, or the Man in the-Iron Mask, or—’ ‘So I might, my dear, so I might,’ assented Mr. B., still pleasantly smil- ling, ‘but that has nothing to do with it. I was merely going to say that if I was president ot the United States I’d ’ My!’ burst in Miss Gertrude, aged eighteen, ‘wouldn’t it be splendid it you was, pa? Just to think how those \Vheedletop girls would change their tune when I met them, instead of throwing out their insinuations about people who considered it Christian like to turn their last season’s silk dress, so that they may have more to give to charity!

Not from office; for he voluntarily relin quished office some time ago. Bnt until yesterday he had before him at least a possibility ot re-electioD. Now he is fallen from position, from rank, from the leadership of his party. To day he is a mere private citizen, with no encouraging prospect^ for the fu ture. He may stretch forth his hands in vain, and for many years foil to clutch power again. By a miracle, as it were, by an insane act ot au as sassin, it is true that Mr. Coukling stood, a few days ago, very near to the power behind the tbrono which is said to be greater 'than the 1 throne itself; but lightning is as likely to strike iu any particular place as such a thing is to happen agsln. Mr. Conkling has reached the full merid ian of life, and his recent mistakes aud foibles cannot be overlooked in that generous spirit which pardons much to the indiscretion of youth. He stands facing a dark, if not ray less, future. No rainbow of promise spans his sky ; nor iu the order of na ture, and in the ordinary course of human affairs, can be reasonably ex pect to behold any new morn on his midday risen. With those who rejoice over the fell of Roscoe Conkling for personal reasons, or in any spirit of exultation, or petty triumph, we have no feeling in common. Far from it. We re member him as a true patriot during the war. We recall with pride the bright performances and more bril liant promise of his earlier and better days. We held too much in common with him then, and battled by his side too long, to contemplate his over., throw even now without some degree of painful emotion. But while, per sonally, we migbt pause to drop a him; and I’d slide on the sidewalk an’ | tear into his political grave, for the shy snowballs at p’leecemen, au’ sass What with the telegraph, district messenger, telephone and electric light wires stretching along and across its streets, there is hardly breathing space left in New York, and it is very difficult to catch an uninterrupted view of the skies. The abuse, how ever, to which this privilege of laying wires has been carried has excited the attention of the authorities, and an edict has gone forth, that under no circumstances, will any company, cor poration or person be allowed in fu ture to obstruct the streets with posts or wires. Chicago has gone a step further, and ordered all its telegraph and telephone companies to pull down their posts and wires within two years. Miss Ferule, an’ play hookey every day when it didn’t rain, an’ I’d—-—’ ‘Yes,’ chimed in Airs. B , catching the infection of her enthusiastic prog eny, ‘and then I’d be the fiist lady in the land, let the next be who she would, and governors’ wives would beg to be introduced to me, and I’d have balls twice a week and banquets every day, and ’ ‘And I’d have tlie management of the White House, and run things,’ remarked Mrs. B.’s mother, her eyes sparkliug with the prospect. ‘Not much you wouldn’t,’ from Miss Gertrude, ‘not much if I kept my health and know myself, you wouldn’t, not as long as I was the sake of the country we rejoice over bis downfall.

The funny man of the New York Times hits off the uumerous cases of shots through the liver developed by the President’s case thus : “The con federates during the civil war seem to have habitually aimed at union livers, and to have bit them at least twice out of three times. It may seem strange to any one except a Concord philosopher that a gunshot wouud oc curring to-day could produce.scorcs of similar wounds ten or fifteen years ago but who could limit the possibility of the vague and the unthinkable ? The thousands of men whose livers have been shot away in the civil war during tlte last fortnight are clearly the vic tims of contagion, and it the conta 1 gion spreads, as it promises to do, there will not be a sound liver in America a month hence.” The New York Cotton, alluding to the splendid prospects in store for Texas as a producer of cottoa, states that all its ‘advices from Western Texas agree that the opening up 6f the country by the new railroads has worked a revolution in men’s minds as to the adaptability of those enor* mous expanses of country for suc cessful cotton culture. It is found that, far from being almost a desert, the land is as fertile and well watered as any in the south. Texas is only wailing for men to produce 10,000,000 bales per annum in its own limits.’ Who says the south is poor ? In selecting Capt. W. W. Thomas, of Athens, as trustee of the JUniver- aity of Georgia, in place of Col. Ab- da Johnson, deceased, the Board made an excellent choice, for more reasons than one.

It seems that tho statement in the Savannah News that 23 bales of new cotton had been shipped to that city ar.d would arrive Monday, created intense excitement and the news hav ing been telegraphed north and to Eu*> rope inquiries came pouring in for an explanation ot lhe nnusual occur rence at this early season. The bulls and the bears were both non-plussed and it was only after considerable de lay that it was tound that a mistake had been made. The cotton had been shipped but it was of the old crop and only a little late getting in. It was rather a scary item but after the mat- ter was explained everything grew se> rene again. IIon Wm. H.

The Augusta News has an article i the “Absurdity of Treating.” There is a difference between things treated objectively and treated sub jectively. The News must refer to objective treating ; it certainly would not see anything absurd in subjective treating. It is absurd for you treat another fellow. If the other fellow treats you, it is all right.
