NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN CRACKERS. [From advance sheets of Silvii Sunshine’s new book upon Florida, ‘Petals Plucked from a Sonny Clime.’] Hoping the poblie mind may be relieved of the impression that a kind of hybrid creators, or nondescript, somewhere between a chimpan zee and oorang-ontang, circulates only throngh the Southern States, entirely unknown in any ether locality, ealled Crackers, I now propose giving a description of the Northern Crackers in connection with our Southern product. From the Alleghany mountains of Pennsylva nia to the sands of Florida, there exists a cer tain class of the genus homo, defined by differ ent names, but possessing traits of character nearly allied. In the Northern States they are not oalled Crackers, but the ‘Lower Class.' These poor uneducated oreatures ruminate in all parts of the North, the localities which they prefer, being removed from the principal towns and cities. During the summer they spend a portion of the season in raising a little corn and potatoes, together with what they call other 'garden sass,’ which is oonsumed in cold weath er by their numerous family to sustain them while hibernating in their winter quarter. This crop is cultivated when they are not working out as the 'hired help' in assisting the neighbors through 'hayin’ and harvestin’ or dig- gin’ taters.’ Many of them never ‘hire out,' but subsist entirely by hunting, fishing or gather ing berries, for which pursuits their wild na tures and unsettled habits well adapt them. They excel in the Isaac Walton profession, stud ying the habits of the finny tribe in their va rious stages, together with their times of ascend ing and descending the streams. Sometimes the oity folks come out to spend a few days with tent and reels, wbioh movement these self-constituted sovereigns of the soil re gard aB a direot invasion of their rights, and if the supposed intruders escape without their tent being burned, or their clothes stolen during the day while absent fishing, it may be regarded as a most fortunate oircumstanoe. If a party enters the grounds for berries where these poor whites roam, no difference on whose lands they may chance to stop, the visit will not be repeated. While the unsuspecting town peo ple are in pursuit of a day's pleasure, these wicked jayhawkers have watched them retire, and pounced on the spoils they have left. The lunch basket which is soon disgorged of its con tents comes first. Ah 1 how they eat, with the exclamation, ‘Orful good town vittles !' es the fat sirloin of roast beef, light bread, jelly, pound cake and sandwiches disappear with a rapidity that would astonish any Georgian Innkeeper who had ever catered for a wagon yard patron age. When they are glutted with food, then comeB the question, ‘Any whisky, boys ? I'm orful dry!' After another search, carefully stowed in one corner of the wagon is found a small demijohn. With eager haste it is opened and sampled. Then a pair of skim-milk eyes are raised heavenward, with a look of disap pointment, followed by an exclamation ‘Oh, that’s nuthin but a mess of wine. Yer know them ere town people's stumaks are orful weak, they live so shut up and stooped over, sorter bowin and tryin to be perlite, but I guess we can kinder worry some down anyhow, if it is weak enough for babies.’ The demijohn is emptied without difficulty, then comes the crowning Btroke. The hoises are unfastened from the shady trees where they are standing and turned loose, portions of the harness cut. Then these poor, uncultured out laws retire, with the solace of having taken a lit tle satisfaction from the intruders. Many of these Northern ‘Lower Class’ speci mens of humanity cannot read or write, while those who can, do not often imbibe orthodox opinions in their religious belief, but embrace theories mapped out by New England fanatics, upon which they try to make improvements du ring the cold winter days when they cannot be ‘stirrin out-door.’ If a thaw comes, they hunt deer and other wild game. Hogs, with them as most other people, is an important item for win ter food. These animals manage to live tolera bly well during the summer on grass, besides occasionally breaking into a field of corn or po tatoes and fattening in autumn on the ‘wild mast’ which is plentiful. This ‘Lower Class’ have never been accredited with being strictly honest and frequently a stray sheep, calf or turkey, make an important addition to the family larder, which is eaten by all without any conscientious scruples whatever and no questions asked. Generosity cannot be classed among their virtues. If a benevolent impulse ever forced its way into their stingy souls, it was soon frozen out for want of suste nance. Never a weary wanderer rests upon their beds, or is fed from their table unless pay is ex pected for it, nor a drop of milk given to a par ty of excursionists, without collection on deliv ery. Their clothes are made mostly of wool, it be ing a home product and the winter weather so severe they are compelled to be protected. Their •wimmen folks,’ as they term them, weave the cloth, then color it blue, or red, and when the garments are made, they are useful during all seasons of the year, in summer to keep out the heat, and in winter, the cold. There is no chang ing of raiment, nor any record kept of the time each garment is worn, it being only removed when patching becomes necessary and a Jos eph’s coat among them is not an uncommon sight. These poor creatures are not remarka ble for their powers of articulation, but enun ciate with a nasal twang through their noses, as if that was the design of the organ. Cow is pronounced as though it was spelled ‘keow,’ how, ‘heow.’ Awful is their superlative adjec tive, npon which they ring changes at all times. ‘Awful nice!’ ‘awful good !’ and ‘awful mean!’ Conversation through the nose, for the old wo men is a difficult experiment, as they deposit large quantities of snuff in that organ, whether for disease or to fill a brain vacuum, has never yet been determined, but it is certainly a most fearfully disgusting practice to witness. The above is a truthful description of the Northern Crackers, of which Northern scribblers seem to have lost sight in their unfeeling efforts to abuse the South and impress the world with the idea that Crackers and ‘poor whites’ are entirely of Southern origin and only found in that locality, they being the outgrowth of a slave oligarchy. That indigenous i lass of persons, called South ern Crackers, receive names according to their localities. In South CarottLaand Southern Geor gia, they are called ‘Poor Backra,' and in Flor ida, Sand Lappers, or Crackers.’ The Florida Crackers are supposed to be named from the fa cility with which they eat corn, it being their chief article of diet, while some few diseased ones, contract the habit of dirt eating and are called ‘Sand Lappers.’ The word Cracker, about which so much has been said, is the original word for Quaker, that in Spanish is cuacero, by the English changed into cuaker, and again to Ciacker. From this we may learn that neither cattle whips or corn crocking had anything to do with the origin of the name. These nomadic Nimrods have few local at tachments, moving twice in a year does not in convenience them, indeed, no earthly state of existence can be imagined more free from care and less fraught with toil than the one they lead. When settled they are not fastidious about their habitations, the mild climate does not re quire close quarters, an ordinary shelter sub- 8 erves their purpose, like God’s free birds in the air, they only want a locating place when night overtake* them. Their houses are mostly made of logs notched to fit at the corners, the floors being oftentimes of earth, but usually boards s» wed by hand. These tenements are scoured once a week, the beds sunned and everything turned out. The men are not always dressed in ‘store olothes,’ with fine linen accompaniments, but usually country-made cotton homespun. The genuine Craoker wears a broad brimmed hat, braided from palmetto, a white or brown jeans ooat and breeches to match, a deer skin vest with the fur left on, and a pair of stout, use ful, cow skin boots or shoes. He supports a very unkept mustaohe and whiskers, at the sight of which a Broadway dan dy would shrink with the most intense disgust This growth obsoures a mouth well filled with teeth, which are nature’s growth, and the handy work of no dentist, from whence a constant ejecting of tobacco juioe is kept up. He is always accompanied with a bodyguard of dogs whenever and wherever you find him, the number varying according to his condition in life, the poorer the man, the greater the num ber of canines to make up for his lack of real es tate. These animals are very thin, whether from a deficiency in their master's larder, or the con stant rambling life they lead, no doubt the re sult of these combined forces acting upon them. Around their master's neck is suspended a flask of shot and a powder born, while in his hands is a rifle oalled ‘Sure Fire,’ whiob, he says, was never known no flicker, warranted to bring down any game within a two hundred yards range, running or flying. These people, like the pa triarch of old, have large families, whioh require about the same attention as kittens. When night comes, the ohildren curl up in almost any oorner to Bleep and at dawn of day, when the early songsters dash the dew drops from the grass and flowers, they are out hunting for ber ries or watching the birds build their nests that they may seoure the eggs, in which enterprise they excel. The Cracker has a hearty weloome for the stranger which puts the blush of con tempt upon those claiming a muoh higher de gree of civilization; everything the house con tains being free to visitors. The bill of fare bears no resemblance to a first class hotel, but quantity must atone for quality. Chiokens are always killed for company, al though no reoord has been kept of the merry Christmas mornings they have been permitted to announce. Your plate is pill d with sweet potatoes, fat possum in the season, corn dodger bread or ash cake, to be washed down with per simmon beer, or strong coffee whioh they al ways manage to keep on hand in oase of emer gencies. The old folks are very attentive and considerate, but where are the ohildren ? Bun away like wild rabbits. Watch and you will soon see ourious little eyes looking through the oracks, or slipping around the corners. They claim the privilege of seeing while they are in visible. These Crackers are a very communicative olass of people. They are full of information in re gard to tfie localities whioh they frequent, and as ready to talk as a freshly wound up, well regu lated Yankee clock to keep time. The husband of the family is called ‘Dad,’ the mother, ‘Mam.’ The husband speaks of hiB wife as the ‘old woman;' the wife says ‘old man,' while the children are always called ‘girls and boys.’ Females among no cla*s of people in the South, however poor, are ever called ‘Heifers,’ as one Northern writer has represented, unless by their conduct, they have beoome lost both to virtue and shame. The Cracker makes an exhibit of his pruden tial care by constantly keeping hogs. It is the main support of the family and these razor backed tourists are always going on voyages of discovery either by land or sea. Their thin looking bodies excite the sympathy of visitors, but they possess many more self-sustaining qualities than those who are sorry for them, showing what hogs can do as well as people, when thrown on their own resources. The swine on the coast, which receive suste nance from the beaob, can feed twice in twenty- four hours, when the tide recedes and no deple ted stores tell the amount of oysters, jelly fish, and other marine morsels of various kinds that are deposited in their skeletonized frames. The above is a correct description of the South ern Crackers, who excite the commiseration of so many people who know nothing about them, and would no doubt be greatly benefited by saving their sympathies for themselves, remem bering ‘Where little is given, little is required.’ THE INDIAN. From a lecture on Indian Summer, delivered at Mercer University, October, 1607, by Prof. J. E. Willet. But, to the Indian the hunt is nearly over. Less than a century ago, he was the sole pro prietor of these groves around us whioh we now call -classic;’ and less than two and a half centu ries ago, he was the sole lord and disposer of the broad domain which is now proudly called the United States. When the ‘pale face' came, the Indian gave him lands; or sold him for a trifle, immense tracts which have since been divided off into many states. Then it waa the fashion to call their sachems wise, their warriors brave and their orators eloquent. John Smith, the foun der of Virginia, quaintly styled Powhatan, ‘the manliest, comeliest, boldest spirit I ever saw in a savage.’ Pocahontas, the daughter of Powhatan, was deemed worthy to espouse an Englishman of gentle descent; was called Prin ces, ; was graciously feted by British royalty, on a visit to England; and, in after years, many Virginia families claimed more proudly the blood which came down to them from the sav age, Pocahontas, than the commingling stream which flowed from English gentility. But, the fashion has changed. It is now a questionable honor to be of Indian descent. Having sold his lands in fair bargain, at the point of the bayonet, having consented to mi grate from lands he loved to those which were strange to him, under the friendly escort of sol diers; receiving from government an annual pension, which sounds magnificent on paper, but which ‘feeds not and clothes not,’ under the cunning manipulations of government agents, disfranchised, where the advocate of ‘manhood suffrage' grant the ballot to those of darker hue, outlawed from citizenship, in ‘the asylum for the oppressed of all nations and climes;’ when, pushed westwaid, to the plains, where only the buffalo can subsist, and unable to retreat fur ther westward, because the ‘pale faoe’ is before him upon the Pacific slope, seeing the wall of tire east, west and south, and to him the impen etrable icy plains on the North, the brave, gen erous, eloquent Indian of other days, turns in despair to make one last, hopeless struggle for his patrimonial lands, he is called a lying, thiev ing, plundering, murderous savage, which civ ilized man cannot too soon sweep from the land which he polutes. So goes the world ! The weak serve the strong er; when too proud to serve and too inflexible to intermingle, they perish. The Indian will soon take his last hunt in the autumn, and his fires will no longer help to deepen the haze of its smoky atmosphere. He will take his place among the dead natiuns, and will be known on ly in the beautiful names which he gave to the rivers, and lakes, and bays, and mountains, when they were his; and in the Indian Summer, the season in which he was the freest and most happy.

Livermore tells what she knows about ‘Husbands’ in an amusing lecture deliver ed by her at the Reformed Church. Smith and Jones went out quail shooting on Thursday, and thejformer’s gun went off acci dently, which filledjone gentleman with remorse and the other with shot. The wife of the Chinese minister at London is inclined to the woman suffrage ideas, and a Hong Kong paper thinks that the moon-eyed lady will not be Bafe in China, whatever she may be in England. Mrs. Dan. MacFarland lectures in South Bend at one hall, while her husband lectures in the same town. How they arrived there just at the same time has not been found out; but if intentional it ro good advertising. Wong Ah Yee is the first Chinese citizen nat uralized. This noble Mongolian has been made a man and a brother, and presented with a vote by Judge Larremore of the State court of com mon pleas of New York. The door being open, now let all the moon-eyes walk into citizenship. The engagement of Captain A. H. Bogardus having proved so successful at the Aquarium, he has been reengaged for one week more during which time Captain Bogardus will attempt many difficult shooting feats such as breaking thirty glass balls in less time than two minutes, hitting 1000 glass balls without a miss, besides shoot ing in the English, American and other styles. liev. J. W. presiding cider of the Dayton district of the Methodist Episcopal church, was arrested on the public street, in a beastly state of intoxication. He was ttken to the stationhouse, after a severe struggle with the officer, when his idenity was discovered. Ste venson is one of the most prominent ministers in the State, and has borne the highest moral character. It is believed that this action comes from derangement caused by family difficulties. Emily Hyatt arrived at the Chattanooga depot on Tuesday with eight children, and not a cent. She was on her way to Oxford; Alabama, and with the eight would join her other five children. She was an intelligent woman, had one child at the breast, and a little bit of bread had served her for the proceeding day.
