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.

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.

Martin Cost in, a well-to-do and highly, respected, farmer near Marti#- vide, Iud., is the. father of twenty ouc children by his present wife, although he is but 50 years of age. Nearly ail the children are living. Mrs. Moyne Reid is writing a life of her husband. 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. *;- Frog Farming. A new industry has sprung up lat¬ terly, which promises, we are told, profitable results. It is frog raising. A farm for this purpose «\t Myuasha, Wis., is in fiffl operation and stocked with g,000 females, which are capa¬ ble of producing from 000 to l,f)0y eggs at a time. The owner of the farm gives spine other interesting facts relative to the bog's habits which are not generally known. He says: In ninety-one days the e;*gs hutch.

Cattle-fish and Sharks, A sword-fissf) captured in tbs gulf stream was found to have in its stom¬ ach over thirty eyes, and twenty beaks of the small cattle-fish, together with a few- partly digested individuals. Sword-fishes and sharks are natural enemies, always fighting when they meet, and there are accounts of fierce, deadly encounters between them. An Ugly sword-fish is a bad enemy to en¬ counter, using its weapons, as it does, with such ease and force. One. \,iU often drive its sword through the bot¬ tom of a boat, and if it succeeds in withdrawing it without breaking if off, the boat rapidly fills with water, and the occupants, driven into the sea, are savagely attacked and badly wounded by the furious fish. At times they are. abundant on all sides, lying near the surface, with their dorsal fin projecting above. They Were Not on the Market. A little boy of 5 went with his mother to make a call.
