lCace litercaso in the South,
Congressman Thomas, a republi¬
can from Jvcntucky, said recently,
in an interview with a newspaper
reporter, that “in the lifetime o!
persons now living tho negroes in
tho southern states will exceed 50,
COO,000, and that they will consti¬
tute a majority in all tho southern
states with the exception of two or
three border states. •’
Commenting on this statement
tho Washington Post oives some
figures in regard to Georgia that
kro interesting: Georgia had tho lar¬
gest slave population of any of the
southern elates before tho war, the
number being 465,689 in i860. In
1870 it had increased to 545,142.
and in 1880 to 725,133, an increase
of 70,453 for the first ten years, ol
179,991 for the second, and 259,441
for tho entire twenty.
In 1860, the while podulation of
Georgia was 591,550. In 187) it
had increased to 638,920, and in IS-
80 to 915,906, an increase of 47,876
for tho first ten years, of 177, 980
for the second, or 225,356 lor tire
entire twenty. Tho increase of the
colored p< pnlation has been
greater the in every instance,
though ratio of increase has
probably been smaller in Georgia
than any ‘of the southern states, be
cause of a largo white imigr&tion.
There are somo facts relative to
t ic population of Georgia that are
not taken into consideration bj’ the
Post. For Distance, since tho war,
a great many more whites hare
gone out of the slate than have
como into it. T . lo a Kw years
ago there , was a constant drain on
t .e population of the state. For
years after the war there was hard
ly a day’ that tnc passenger station
was not crowded with Georgians
and their families on tho.r way to
lexas and the West.

Bright and sad, dark and glad,
Have been the years that wo all have had.
Fair and subllo under tho sun
Something from us each year has won.
Has It given us treasures ? Day by day
It has stolen something w® prized away;
Wo meet with fears, and count with tears
The burled hopes of the long-past yo irs.
Is it so ? And yet let us not forget
ilow fairly tho*8un has risen and set;
Each year has brought us semo sunny
hours,
With a wealth of song and a crown Cowers
Power to love and time to pray,
Its gifts have been ere it passed away.
We hail the new that has come in view;
Work comes with it and pleasure too;
And even though it may bring some pain,
Wo Each passing year is a tiling of gain ;
greet with song the days that throng;
Do thoy bring us trouble '< ’Twill make

With smiles of hope, and not with tears,
We meet our friends in the glad now years;
God Is with them, and, ns they come,
They bear us nearer our r istful homo,
And one by ono with some treasure won,

History of Canos.
The Mexicans first us<\l cane's in
America. When the Spanish conquered
! the country a qneer enstom was
dneed. The chief executive of the town
carried a stick with a gold or silver
head. It was a kind of sceptre. The
j people, of course, rarely know liow to
read or write, and when any one was
wanted for crime one of tho mayor’s
subordinates would take the cane, find
the culprit and place it horizontally up¬
on the latter’s chest. Tho proceeding
was equal to a summons, and tho; man
bad to appear before tho mayor under
tho penalty of being cast into prison.
This custom was borrowed from Spain,
where it still prevails in tho more im¬
portant stations.
The cauo of early American history,
like that of Biblical times, was part of
tho repetory of tho leaders of the church.
It was the principal badge of the dea¬
con. The cane was about five feet long.
One end was emhelished with a big
knob, the.other with feathers, When
the small boy rebelled against the
straight back pew he got a rap on the
head with the uncharitable end of the
cauo If the head of the family got to
dreaming about liis old English home
and the coscy little nest in one of the
shires the turkey’s plumage on the dea¬
con’s cane feathered the sleeper into life
again.
The Irish have always been associated
with a blackthorn stick of short and
thick dimensions. They used these queer
little aideitrms in tho invasions of the
English kings and in the religions wars.
Even in its unpolished state tho black¬
thorn stick is on of the most cherished
by cane connoisseurs.—Ex.

Arctic Sledge 8>og«i,
Kamsehatkan dogs are probably the
most sagacious of all feral types, nnd are
employed and trained iu tho most care¬
ful manner for the multitudinous servloc
required of them. Soon afterbirth tlioy
are placed with their dam in a deep pit,
that they may see neither man nor beast,
and after having been weaned are con¬
demned to solitary confinement for six
months, at the end of which time they
are put to a sledge with other dogs, and
being extremely shy and frightened
withal, they run as fust as they can until
they becoms blown and cowed After
this trial trip they arc remanded to their
pit, where they remain, off and on, un¬
til they are thoroughly tired and sledge
broken.
This severe education sours their tem¬
per amazingly, and makes thorn anything
but companionable. Drivers are fre¬
quently obliged to stun them by a blow
on the nose before unharnessing them
on account of their savage nature. Be¬
sides drawing sledges they tow boats x\p
the river in summer and keep their mas
ters warm iu winter nights. Thoy aio

Shaggy, with erect, curlv, bushy tails
and not very sharp nose* and ears. They
live exclusively on fish, which they
catch fo; themselves. In winter their
ration comprises forty frozen herrings

I can not remember—what sleep is.
