Only, a smile and a sigh ore pro
voked by the Boston dispatch stat
ing that arrangements have been
completed by secret organization
iii thnt city for a great negro exo
dus from tho South. “ The plan
of tho society,” says the dispatch,
“is to depopulate the entire South
and Southwest of negroes, who
will be brought North to Boston
and thence distribute^ throughout
the West in agricultural and min
ing sections.”
Alas that such welcome news
should merely suggest one of those
delightful, alluring dreams that
are too good to be true! It is to
be feared that the Boston society
will abandon its scheme when it
learns that instead of provoking
cries of alarm, its announcement
him called forth such utterances
ns follows from the Dallus Times-
Hernld: '
“The Lord hasten the day,"
will be tho cry of miliums of white
men. Willingly the South, which
has carried the man in black, for
more than forty years, and paid
hard ensh for its philanthropy—
willingly will the South exchange
4,(XX),(XX) to 8,000,000 negroes for
the same number of white-skinned
northerners, who-are only too anx
ious to come to a land of plenty
and promise, whose virgin soil
awaits the plow and hoe of the
tiller, and where the stars on the
flag have not been obliterated by
the dollnr-mark of commerce.
Willingly will the South exchange
its surplus black population for
the hardy English-speaking immi
grants, for the plodding ^Scandi
navian, the frugal and law-abiding
Teuton and tho .light-hearted and
industrious Gault.
“The negro and the negro prob
lem have kept these, away from
the old South, and has compelled
them to Beek homes in the frozen
Northwest, in the mountain states
and in the densely populated sec
tions of Eastern activity and life.
The South does not demand it,
but a fair exchange will lie no
robbery, and the negro mid the
negro problem transferred from
tho sunny land of the magnolia
and the creeping vine to the rocky
and inhospitable shores of New
England, will forever remove an
incubus here and place the Old
Man of tho African Jungle astride
the neckH of the Massachusetts
apostles of righteousness, who
thank God they am not us other
men, and then clip their coupons
in tho Amen corner.

THE MISREPRESENTATION IN
••UNCLE TOG’S CABIN.”
Alban; Herald.
"I don't want my boy to rend
‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ until ho hns
studied American history,” says
Prof. James A. James in approving
the action of the New York board
of education in ordering the book
taken out of the school library.
‘The famous work of Mrs, Strowe,’
said the professor, ‘does not pre
sent a truer picture of the condi
tions thnt existed in the Southern
states in the days of slavery.
“Does it seem reasonable that if
you had a horse worth $1,(XX) you
would pursue it with bloodhounds
thnt would tear it to pieces? As a
matter of fact, the slave-holders
did not pursue their fugit ives with
dangerous blood-hounds. They

from the’ big bhiod-hotmds, nttd
with these they followed tho run
aways. The dogs were trained
however, not to hurt the negro, hs

the book concerning the period,
and says that Mrs. Stowe’s l«>ok

Dear Sir :—In your last issue
you published an article unfertile
above caption, from the Savannah
News, which spoke the Southern
woman in terms of highest,praise.
It was a good article—well-written
—on one of the most sublime
themes that was ever traced by
the pen of man. But it is beyond
the power of tongue or ]>en to do
them justice, or to describe even
in a small degree their loyalty ond
devotion to, and sacrifices for, the
cause which to them was sacred.
And the author of the article
referred to suggests that a sub
scription bo taken for'a fund to
erect a monument 16 perpetuate
their memory. Now, that is one
thing that should be done without
delay. It has been neglected too
long already; and, I do not think
there is a Southern man to-day—
a descendant of one of those noble
souls—who would not cheerfully
grasp tile opportunity to contrib
ute to such a fund, And'if one
should be found soselfiish, narrow
minded nnd unappreciative as to
refuse—well, Jiis contribution will
not be needed,* for it would defile
the fund.
When that war broke out over
our fair Southland, heroes were
needed to go to the front and face
the hardships nnd dangers of camp
and field. Our gallant fathers
rose—almost to a man—nnd freely
offered themselves their country.
But, my friends, heroes were not.
all that was necessary, by any
means. Unless there , had been
heroines too, who were willing to
make sacrifices—and, Oh, such
sacrifices! und to sufi'er, and to
give their encouragement and t heir
prayers, methinks it would have
been a snd, dejected lot of heroes
to go the war!
But the Southern Woman—God
bless her!—wife, mother, sister
and sweetheart—was here, ready,
though itwrung their tender henrts
to part with those whom they
loved more than life, to make the
sacrifice, to endure the privation,
and, worse than all, the mental
anguish of anxiety, uncertainty
and suspense.
Though but a child at the time,
I very well remember how eagerly
every word of news from the front
was sought by them. If one wo
man received a letter—which was
seldom—it was tho subject of con
versation with her sisters in the
struggle, for they shared each
other’s sorrows and what few joys
they hod.
By all means, let us build a
monument to them. There will
be no trouble in getting the neces
sary funds. It cannot lie built
too broad, nor too high, nor of too
pure a material, if it is to com
memorate their love, which was
ns hrond ns their native lnnd,
their faith in the justice of the
cause they espoused, which wns as
high as Heaven, nnd the chastity
of their virtue, which wns as pure
as the driven snow.
But in tho nrticle referred to
there is a remark that does not
strike me as being true. Its
author says, in speaking of the
suffering nnd suspnse endured by
the women: “ Tlu^pieii escaped
this suffering almost entirely.”
Now, beg leave to differ with
him here. I cannot imagine u
huslmnd nnd father being sepa
rated fronfthose lie loves, and not
knowing what is happening to
them, being exempt from anxiety
and suspense, and consequently
suffering. And he further says:
“ Their minds were occupied with
the stirring scenes around them,
of which lie was a part.”
He forgets the days, and weeks,
and months spent in camp, the
I long, lonesome hours of sentry
| duty. Could a huslmnd and father
j forget that his loved ones were at
; home unprotected, knowing that
all the nble-bodid men, who were
worthy of the name, were ‘ like
| himself, away from home. A man
i were u monster to forget all this
for a moment: und, unless he for
got, he must needs have suffered.
Let’s do justice, so far 09 we
are‘able, to the women, but In
doing so, let us not cast a reflec
tion on the manhood of the men.

A TYPICAL INCIDENT.
Atlanta News.
The heart of the country, and
more especially this part Of the
country, is instantly responsive to
every new appeal from Gainesville
and South Craolina.
At Lyons, Ga!, the other night,
at the conclusion of an educational
lecture to a large and delighted
audience, Mr. William D. Upshaw
turned from the theme of the
evening nnd called attention to
the needs of the storm sufferers of
Gainesville. He declined to press
the matter of his own work for
Monroe College, and suggested
thnt a collection be taken up for
Gainesville.
“If Lyons were stricken,” he
said, “Gainesville would respond,
nnd, I am sure, now that Gaines
ville is stricken, the generous
little town of Lyons will gladly
help.”
In ten minutes the sum of forty
dollars was in Mr. Upshaw’s hands
for Gainesville. ,

"SINCE HUNG.”
Speaking at a .recent meeting of
the Selborne society, Lord Avebury
skid the efforts of the society were
yearly obtaining more success, espe
cially in the protection of birds. It
bad even been proposed that no
man should marry a woman who
wore feathers in her hat. Much had
also been done toward planting
trees in the streets of our towns.
Where the society had hitherto
most failed was in the protection of
plants, due to the unthinking wan
tonness of small children.
Sir John Coekbum, who spoke
next, quoted a description of spring
which ho had read in the newspa
pers : “One cannot -say spring has
arrived until a man can put his foot
upon six daisies.” Such a man, he
said, deserved never to enjoy an
other spring.
Sir (J eorge. Kcckwich also gave
some amusing instances of vandal
ism, among them the following:
One day he found “S. Hughes” cut
upon u favorite peach tree. A few
months later he fouud added,
“Since hung,’’—M:',.n?]'.?.?tcr Guard

busts and skulls once the property
of Gall, the founder of phrenology
in the museum of Baden, negr Vien- ,
na, has been seriously damaged.
The man had been directed to break
through a wall, but did so at the
wrong place, with the result that
some hundreds of specimens on the :
other side were thrown'down and
for the most part broken to frag
ments. The exhibits were, original
ond irreplacable, and it will be pos
sible to repair only a very few of
them. .
