A Warm Winter in 1832.

script ton of the fall and winter

readers will remember: “’Ibe tall

4 Remarkable Editorial
The Sandy World, the leading pa-
per of CJyycland, Ohio, and a M.epub-
lican organ of .Mugwunip tendencies,
said editorially: “The question that
will soon be of all absorbing interest
is the question of the cqjpr line, the
question of the rights and privileges
of negroes, the question not only of
tiicjr rigid to vote and hold office,
but their rights in a social way. Ne¬
groes arc slaves no longer, and no one
save perhaps a lew rabid Southerners,
would like to see the times of 1850
return. The question now rising is
not a question of equality. The ques¬
tion of color line in the South seems
to be purely a matter of polities, and
the Republicans urge that every col¬
ored man’s vote lx* counted because
the negroes arc Republicans. As
far, however, as the majority of these
Southern negroes are capable of
judging what, the right of ballot
means, 10,000 bobtail gorillas trained
to put folded pieces of paper in a
slot would exercise as nut#]) judge-
merit and understanding as 10,000
colored Republican voters in Louis-
i iana and Georgia. The Northern ne-
gro is encroaching upon the white
men’s rights. He is claiming equal
rights with lhe privileged citizens of
this republic and forcing himself into
their midst. He enters society cir¬
cles, he dines at any restaurant, he
comes to the opera house with his
girl and f its down beside you. He
tries to join your club, and generally
succeeds. He sits down in your seat
on a railway train and lie moves up
ckag: to yogr wife on a street car.
Indeed he considers himself the white
man’s equal in every respect, and it
will not be many years before he will
imagine himself Lis superior. A lady
enters a dressmaker’s shop, She
to wait a few minutes while a ‘cullud
lady’ is being fitted. A man goes in-
to a barber shop, lie has to wait un-
til a ‘cullud gentleman’ is shaved.
“The cry is, educate the negro. It
seems that the more negroes are edu¬
cated, the more forward they
They will not recognize the fact that
there is a prejudice against them,
which prejudice can never be over¬
come,, A darky does not know his
level, lie bobs up where not. want¬
ed, like an inflated bladder,
the bladder and down it goes. Can¬
not this question of the color line be
settled by forcing the negro to
level? There is a cry, the
vinpst go. A supplemental cry
slowly feeing founded. Perhaps,
yet, it is only in the process of incu¬
bation, but there is no danger of
not living, hatched- Negro check and
negro forwardness will furnish
heat. It is recognized that the above
is at variance with the usual order

A Beauty at the Lathe,
Miss Nellie Paterson, on# of
prettiest girls in the village of
(Carmel, a few mjles north of
I fa von, has just completed a four
years’ apprenticeship to the machin¬
ist’s trade. To day she is working at
her lathe and vise in the factory of
the Mount Carmel Belt Company, and
there isn’t, a mechanic in the whole
shop who can do a better job or in
less time than the fair young work-
woman. Four years ago, when Miss
Nellie began to think ol’ the means
whereby she must earn her living, she
looked ovet'Jhe whole field of womans
work. Among the trades or the oc¬
cupations which the pushing woman
of this country had made their own,
there was none she especially liked,
She was a bright girl, with a great
of Yankee cleverness, and con-
siderable ingenuity and inventiveness,
The remark was made by a friend
that she was so fond of invention she
ought to become a machinist. The
seed thus idly sown took root, and she
applied for a place as apprentice.
For the past four years she worked
faithfully, and a few days ago her
time expired, and she now is a full-
fledged machinist. She is able to block
up a piece of work on the planer or
turn up an arbor on the lathe. She
uses the drill or handles a file as well
as any man in the shop. Her spe¬
cialty, however, is tool making,
to tiiis she proposes to devote
She can also draw plans, figure out
dimensions, and from the
drawings she can make
She is not afraid of the grease and
grime of the shop, and her beauty is
not in the least marred by a
swipe of dirt across her dimpled
nor a spot of oil on nose. Her
are not as white as those of some of
her sisters, but they are by no
large, though they are strong. She
is a great favorite with her fellow
workmen, and is the pride of the little
country village,
Six More Years of Plenty.
Three years ago, says the
Manner, i lev. .1. G. Gibson, an eminent
Ilaptist minister of Crawford, Ga.,
predicted the abundant harvest of
1S80, and his prophecy was published
at the time. This gentleman based
bis prognostications upon a record lie
had kept for a number of years past
of the seasons, and showed that since
the days of Joseph in Egypt there
had been seven years of plenty and
a like season of comparative
crops. But little attention was given
to this prophecy, at the time, but
since Mr. i.-ibsqii lias been proved to
be so accurate in liis predictions, the
public will feel an interest in tyls fy,v-
thcr statepigui. While we may
have again such an abundant harvest
as blessed the land last year, we can
count on six more seasons of
crops and prosperity. We have great
faith in our friend as a prophet, says
the Banner, and shall watch the sea¬
sons with hope and interest. If Mr.
Gibson is correct our (angers will
have the load of debt lifted from
their shoulders, and the whole coun¬
try blossom as the rose. Six more
good crop years will save the strug¬
gle! s.

Cattle-fish and Sharks,
