From ll„, llti.liyill.diHl.I J«k*oiil.n. Amkiueus Ga., Fob, 22, 1SS2. For severnl years I have traveled and lectured, North, South, East and West, and in that tluio have lectured in twenty-eight States and to all kinds and alltited audiences; from tlie “Bostion eiilchn” to the big-hrnined, common sense, kind- hearted, generous, charitable In- dianians; but of all the audiences that it lias ever been my honor, ns well os privilege and pleasure to address, none has ever equaled the one that greeted me in this city last Sunday night. Messrs. Perry & Glover have just completed the ImndBomcst opera house in the United Stntes in a eityofsix thou sand people. It is a beauty—n perl'oet gem, and is one of the many evidences of the onward and up ward mnrcli of tins people. Last Sunday night all the churches ill Americus adjourned services, and their congregations completely fill ed the opera house with the Iliiosl audience timt ever greeted me in America. A lecturer or public speaker soon comes to take his au dience at a glance, and ns I looked into the faces of ono thousand of the handsomest and inoHt intelli gent mcilnud women, that over as sembled nt one time and place in Americus, I confess I was moved by such deep emotions as never be fore stirred me in the presence of an audience. I knew that they de served something good and timt nothing common or ordinary would satisfy them. There were in that audience the ministers ot the churches, the professors of the schools, the doctors and lawyers; then the intelligent iniddlc-ageii nml four or live hundred young indies and gentlemen—the young men grand typos of manhood, and tins young ludics! hero my pun halts, and such pictures of perfect beau ty rushes through my mind as nn words can describe. As well nt- tompt to paint a beautiful sun-set —such beauty, such loveliness— but why vainly try to describetbo indesoribabla? Just think of about one hundred of the prettiest young ladies to be found in a population of fifty million people collected to gether in n beautiful opera house, on a night so clear that every cloud hud fled from the sky, nml just ns the sun sank to his western bed and before be bail fully veiled his face, the full, round orbed moon rose from her eastern bed, nnil golden-creased, mounted up into the midst of the myriad stars that marshalled as flock uf light glitter- in - on the hill sides of night until moon and stars melted into light so soft nnd delicately beautiful, that it teemed to the beholder that the day had lingered nnd veiled the night. The shimmering moon-light nnd the beautiful star-light poured their almost daylight through the windows, nnd the gas jets flushed back their bright, dazzling light as though they were kissing the moon light and the star-light, or in love with it or else jealous and envious that there should bu anything moro beautiful than moon-light and star light and gas-light combined; but there was; lor in the midst of this glittering, dazzling, blazing, laugh ing light were assembled one hun dred bountiful young ladies. ' Never before was I permitted to i look on such a sen of heautiliil i faces. That audience is photo-1 graphed on my memory indelibly \ and forever. This is indeed God’s own best country; for here He has j poured out most abundantly His | richest blessings. Americus is ! situated in south west Georgia, and j for soil, climate and health, sur- passes any or all other places. For ! three days there has not been a ! cloud In the sky. The sun shines down clear and wnrm, the grass grows nnd flowers bloom and birds j sing as in a May day. If any of the Indiana people want to emigrate, by all means come to south-west Georgia, where I land cun lie bought lor three, four, { five and ten dollars per acre; laud too, on which can be ruined a bale of cotton to the acre. Why stay ! up North and freeze nine months in the year and lie sun-struck the other throe and labor anil toil.at least eleven months out of every J twelve, when you cun come down here and nrnkc enough in three or I four months to have half a year’s holiday? and siichn holiday!! Why, hero in one mile of Americus is a ten acre grove or dell of magno lias all in hlooin at rcc and just loading the ntmosphc-c with odor so delicious us to almost rob ono of their senses. Voung Kushvillians, how would you like to he permitted to walk beside an Amerieiis young lady so licuutii'til ns to daze you down into teu neros of magnolia blossoms? Why, the very air is loaded with iueliiihle anil indescribable sweet ness. Hut-some poor,ignorant un educated Republican says: “The society is not good; the people are ignorant nnd lazy; besides, they kill people—just fry the poor ne gro for breakfast, bake him fordin- tier and stelv him for supper.” This people can learn such North ern people as talk that way profit able lessons in all the noblest quali ties that lulorn and make beautiful the lives of good men and women For kindness, hospitality, generos ity, charity nnd sympathy, they arc not sut-passeil on earth. This peo ple lias turned fromjthc horrid and, to them, disastrous past, and like brave men and true women, arc taking the broken fragments left them by the war nnd arc weaving and moulding them into a prosper- oils future. Indeed, once more the South is putting on her beauti ful garments, nnd as time, tbc great healer, smooths tho rough places and scatters blessings nnd sows prosperity from her never wasting bounty, tbc land that fell'the shock of battle and bad for her monuments the blackened ruins of once beauti ful homes, apd for her prosperity devastated, and wasted fields—will once again have her pathway thick ly swathed with u prosperity that will spread a glory over tho very past, and her wasted places will smile and laugh with more than abundance. This peoplo unkind mid cruel to the negro! In this ci ty more than four hundred colored children nre going to tho public schools, nnd the white people arc paying the taxes to keep up these schools. The public schools hero for botli races arc splendid. There arc none lietterintlie United States. Tho colored people hero are more intelligent than in any other part of the South. This climate nnd soil 1ms produced tire most perfect type <>r physical, mental, and intel lectual manhood on earth, and tho negroes have been wonderfully im pressed for their moral good by their fortunate surroundings. The whites do not associate with the negroes and place them on nil equality, for that would he tho downfall anil degradation of both races; but they know better than a stranger the weakness and wants of tlie negroes and are kinder anil more, patient with them thnn the North would be. A sail instance, an old negro drayman here' named I’elcr lliirlnnd, died not long since, nnd he bail a very large funeral; hundreds of white people evidenced their respect for him hy attending Ilia funeral. I’eter was known far nnd near for his Godly life, and now tho highest compliment that enu be paid to a man is to say ho is as|g«od as Fetcr Itayland wus. Would it not lie n show, a sight, a panorama, a regular Baruiim’s cir cus, to see the wealthy, hightoned, aristocratic Bepubiicans of Hush- ville, C'onnersvlllo or New Castle, following the remains of an old ne gro drayman to the grave, Just be cause lie was good. If he was n live negro drayman and it wus Just before an election, tho cusc would be different; but n dead negro, that could never vote again, would not have a large funeral procession In Indiana. I could fill columns with instances of kindness that I have witnessed by tiicgooil people down here toward the negro, but it would only lie waste ot time. This peo ple nrc intelligent, kind nnd brave, untl every person but a fool knows i that these qualities scorn cruelty. If the good people of the North could mingle with this people for blit one day; just for one time feel the kind, generous wurm hand grasp, look iuto tho faces beaming with kindness, charity and a bos. pitality that cannot be surpasse I oil this earth, all the radical stal warts from Grant, Oonkling, Ar thur and Uuitcuu, down, could never again separate tlie good and patriotic people of the North, from the kind nml loynl peoplo of the South. Time will soon Imry out of sight forever the human tigers, hyenas and jacknls that would keep up strife among brothers who are bone of one bone, flesh of one flesh, 1 flood of one blood, and race of one race, and Hint, tlie proudest race ' that ever trod this earth. There : is now about to burst upon this . whole country a prosperity that will bring heaven smiling to eartli j or lift eartli laughing to heaven, j Fence bo still. Ho|ri once more I unfold your white pinions. Black j fiendish hate, buck to the regions of eternal night. Friendship, lovn and charity, hold out your arms and enfold the pure.pnd good of this once stricken but now prosper ous laud. Lutiikh Benson. Sheep Raising on Fallon Plantations. It seems to me there Is a plan of farming practicable in the South that would solve the labor question, enrich the lands, enrich the farmer and make things look little brighter tholf all cotton, no money, no grub, no clothes, aad big debts. Suppose n planter having 400 acres of land, which hu 1ms always cultivated in cotton, should divide his farm into four fields, one of which he should sow in grass—Bermuda, Japan clover, orchal-d grass, white clover, blue grass, red clover or any kind of grass that a sheep, cow or horse would eat then one in field peas, one in corn and one in cotton. Then get 400 head of sheep— any kind will do—graze tho sheep on the grass tilt peas are ripe, then put the sheep during winter on the cotton seed grown on the place; this will make it rich enough to grow n crop of cotton without immure; keep up this rotation and soon all tho farm will be rich, and tlie profits of tlie sheep will pay family expenses, or the sheep may he sold as fat after January and will pay 100 per cent, on the in vestment. Shcop raising on plan tations in ten yoars would enrich every acre of land and every farm er in the South. There nre no people in the world that work so hard, have so little of the comforts of life, as lie who plants all cotton to Imy his meat nnd bread. Mr. Oliphant is right. All our troubles come from a want of “brains,” or, nt least, a proper use of what we have. Tills whole trouble can lie solved in a few words: l’lant less cotton, more corn, wheat, oats, peas and grass. The fnct is, no people on earth ever throve or ever , will without grass to grazo stock on. The cotton States enn handle 40,- 000,000 sheep, and they will make ten times as much manure as is now purchased It. Lillxard, in Southern Cultivator. lie Held the Base. One day a notorious horse thief hud been captured and brought into court to lie committed. While the examination wus pro gressing tlie prosecuting attorney nlid the shcrlfl stepped to the door to counsel. The thief seized t!.e opportunity, and clas|icd in the ’squire's hand, a $20 gold piece with tlie remark: “Hold the case until dark; then dismiss for error in the complaint. It sets forth that a horse had been stolen, while the evidence shows jt was a marc.” Tlie case went tripping along until tho sun had dropped behind the hills nnd darkness shadowed the land. Then tho court raised the horse and marc question and dis missed tho prisoner. Before a new complaint could bo made be was far away under tho cover of' dark ness, The ’squire then adjourned the court, and went straight borne in higli glee. Arriving there he clapped the “double saw buck” over bis eye and went capering arouild the floor like a young eolt. His good wife, noticing tho wealth, made some remarks about apparel. “Nothing to wear, eb?” said the squire, “A calico dress goes.” Supper being ovor, be repaired to tlie barn to feed his beast. ‘But lo! she was gone. He had a bogus coin in his packet, while the thief was bestride his beautiful mare ovtr the bills and faraway.—San Francisco Chronicle. A n Oman’s Experience. Mothers and Daughters should feci alarmed when weariness con stantly oppressed them. “If lam fretful from exhaustion of vital powers and the color is fading from my face, Parker's Ginger Tonic, gives quick relief.
