Ham and EgQs. HAM. Kelther Yam Nor nire spring lamb COMBINED. We do And They fill the nnd Of all mankind— Ham and Eggs! What an Intelligent and Honest Press Is Doing for the South. Philadelphia Press. "With Congressional representation inca pable of understanding the importance of cfrreraided industries and of a hone mar ket for the heavier products of the mine and furnace, combined with thi* old free trade prejudice for raising cotton and noth ing else and buying manufactured goods, and an inheii e l dislike to the protection party of the country, the South lias been alow to reach its present position on the economic questions that must soon ob literate North and South and become the alividing line of the |>olitical parties of the future. To the influence of the leading .Southern newspapers may be traced much of the industrial progress of the last live years. It was impossible for these news- r pers to chronicle from montii to month d year to year the millions of capital fo rested in the cotton mills, the blast for. iiaccs. the workshops and the mining en terprises of the new South without learning the two fundamental lessons of protection —the value of diversified Industries and n home market. Old prejudices might fora time blind them and party politics might for a time influence them, but the building of new and pros|»erous towns, the employ ment of thousands of artisans, the increase in the value of land and of the products of the farm were substantial and omni present arguments in favor of the hew order of things. Drifting, therefore, in this direction, they naturally enough be came advocates of the American system of political economy. Here is a list of some of the prnicipal Southern journals who have thus aided in faoUdfog up the South and who have be come intelligent advocates of the protec tive system: Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution. Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Constitu- Uonalitt. Birmingham (Ala.) Daily Age, Chattanooga (Tenn.) Timet. Knoxville (Tenn.) Chronicle, Louisville (Kv.) n*L Lynchburg (Va.) Virginian. Macon (Git-) Telegraph. Memphis (Tenn.) Avalanche, Mobile (Ala.) Register. Nashville (Tenn. ) American, New Orleans (La.) Timet-Democrat, New Orleans (La.) Picayune, 'Petersburg (Va.) Index Appeal, Bfchmond (Va.) Dispatch. Selma (Ala,) Times. Wheeling ( NV. Va.) Intelligencer. The importance of the work done by these influential journals in the South can not be over-estimated. True, some of them claim to stand on the slippery Ohio plat form, but with the surrounding evidences in favor of protecting American labor an-1 industries increasing from week to week, the fall from that platform is more likely *to be into the ranks of the stalwart protec tionists than the other way. It is gratify % tng to Pennsylvania to observe the spread Of the sound economic thought that has oeen the basis of her own wealth and progress. There is no reason why Vir ginia. Tennessee. Alabama and Georgia ihouldnot become manufacturing States. They have the necessary natural advan- . tape’s. The South will never become rich nosing cotton at ten cents a pound, in competition with Indian or Egyptian la bor; nor by making pig iron and nothing else at fOa ton. in competition with Kuro pean labor: nor in raising: rice and sugar with free labor, in competition with slave labor; nor in weaving the coarsest grades of cotton cloths and nothing e'se. It will be come rich with the diversification of Indus- trim; by making its pig iron into manu factured iron and its manufactured iron into machinery and implements of all kinds; by manufacturing the finest grades and the greatest variety ot oottin goods; by protecting Its free labor against the ■are labor of foreign countries; by retain ing the American standard of wages; by never ceasing to create a home market that ahall consume what it pro duces, and by diversifying its agricultu ral as well as the manufacturing indus tries, and thereby save its land from beinir washed into the Gulf of Mexico. It is about time the Southern States cease to be the growers of cotton, the hewers of wood, the miners of coal and iron and the smelters of pig iron for the rest of the country, and take a hand in the higher manufactures in which skilled lobor plays a more important part, and which, as we have aeen, brings out with greater force the advantages of a protective taritr. HOW TO BREAK OXEN. A Westchester Farmer Discloses the Mysteries of Hia Art. “Bailing a yoke of oxen/’ said a West chester county farmer the other day, *‘is a good deal like raising children. You can never tell how they are going to turn out tiU they get too big for yoa to control. Now, there’s that yoke—gentle, peaceable cattle as you ever saw. When I first put a yoke on them 1 said to myself: 'Well, if I can make anythlng-eut of those sfoer*l’U give up faming and make a business of breaking cattle.’ How did 1 do It? Well, m be hanged if 1 know. A little suasion and a good deal of coaxing. Brush the dirt off that stump and sit down and I’ll tall you something about oxen. **The first thing Is your breed. Now. if yon co ild keep a Durham down you’d get agoodox, but Durbauis grow too stocky. Fifteen or sixteen hundred pounds is about as heavy as an ox ought to run. but a Dur ham will go up into 2,000 pounds without an effort. Holstein* are open to the uiue objection. Alderney*, Ayrshire*, and Jer seys are too light, even if they were not how must I get them to the post-office was only a short way, but it might as well Have been mile?. I was surrounded by -little boys”—newsboys—and a harder- looking set I never saw. Bbonld I trust one of them? Of course. ‘‘Will one of E on take these letters to”—but I did not ave to finish, Half a dozen little dirty bands were outstretched to me. and i dropped the missives into the nearest one. Those letters all went safely. Soyon see there is pure gold in many of these bovs, and it ought to be none the less valued be cause of the rustic ore through which it shines. We hojie the day is coming when this neglected portion of humanity will be less blamed for what they cannot help, and when paternal solicitude will be more equally divined between the girls and boys. Mattix N. Bbowji. Hasty Marriages. Timer Democrat. The Methodist conference in session in Philadelphia took very sensible action in reference to the celebration of marriages by ministers, advising them to be less hasty in joining persons in marriage, and to make a thorough investigation beforehand as to whether ull the provisions of the law had been complied with. It was very general ly agreed by the conference that undue haste is responsible for many unhappy couples in this country. Without looking into the subject at all. without finding the conditions or relations, the age or character of the persons candi dates for wedlock, without even asking any questions, some ministers read the service over them that legalized their union. Nowhere else are marriages so in formally made as here. There are no pre- requisitM or formalities, no banns to be published, nothing to be done. A mo ments notice, at any time of day or night, at any place, in the open field or even on the water, a fear word* from a minister suffice to make the marriage. In all other lands the applicants for matrimony must satisfy • he civil authorities that they are in a condition to wed and are not prohibited by some other tie or bond. Here alone the most perfect freedom is al lowed. It is not to be wondered at that with such freedom, unhappy marriage* should be numerous, and that thousand* should be joined together hastily ami un wisely. Easy marriages make easy di vorces. This, the Methodist conference recogniz ed, and it accordingly advised ministers in the future to make more thorough inves tigation and inquiry liefore performing the ceremony, to satisty themselves that the law has been fully complied with and the contracting parties can legally marry. Should other religious sects follow this example there will be an end of hundreds of the hasty, silly marriages now contracted every year, and which nearly always wind up in separation or divorce. A Black Letter. New York Pun. We print this morning, from the original manuscript, a fat simile of the second let ter sent to Mr. Jumes D. Fish by Gen. Uylsses S. Grant on the day the General received Mr. Fish's letter saying he h>ui negotiated notes to the amount of IJUU.OUU and adding: "These notes, as I understand it. are given for no other purpose than to rnNe money U-t tb« payment of grain, etc., t till the government contracts.” This letter of Gen. Grant's is what hi counsel call “only an ordinary letter in the course of business.” We dare say it was an ordinary letter in the course of such business as was trans acted by the firm of Grunt tfc Ward. It is a sort of letter, however, that is un known in any other kind of business. It is a black letter, which brings shatne upon its author, and lusting mortification to the American people, who have liouur* cd him so much. Virginia New York Times. Richmond, Mny IX—A suit for $1,000 damages was instituted in the United .States Court here today by A. Z«*tell». against the State of Virginia. About ten days ago Zetelle tendered to the collector of taxes for this city tux receivable coupon* for the amount of tax required b\ the Mtute law for keeping u restaurant. The collec tor refused to receive them, and Zf telle gave up business. Now ho sues the State fur depriving him of the right to legiti ms ely sup|>ort himself. The writs in the case were served upon tbo Governor and the Attorney-General. This suit is b sed upon the recent decision of Judge Hughes, of the United States Court, that the elev enth amendment to the constitution for bade citizens of another State only to sue a .State, and that if a case ar sea under the constitution any citizen of Virginia may sue the State of Virginia in her corporate capacity in th« United States Circuit Court. Methcdlata and Roman Catholics* New York Sun. The Methodist General Conference advises that the Roman Catholics of this country be treated as heathens, and that missions for their conversion to Methodism be established and “ad ministered as foreign missions.” Formerly the Methodists formed nu merically the strongest religious com munion in the United Htates. The seed planted here by Wesley and Whitfield grew with amazing rapidity, until at length their followers were numbered by millions, ami the Metho dist Church attained immense power. It was the Church of the plain people, and therefore appealed to tlio sympa thies of the majority. Of all the Pro testant communions the Methodists, too, carried the most political weight as a IkhIv, and their friendship was sedulously cultivated and their preju dices adroitly catered to by political leaders. Within the last generation, however, the Roman Catholic Church has con quered for itself the place formerly held by the 3Icthodi»ts. It is now the most numerous religious communion in the United Htates, and is multiply ing much faster than any other. Built up by immigration, it holds all it gets with a firm hand, and takes care to lose none of the descendants ot the adherents it receives from abroad, The Roman Catholic, too, is now the Church of the poor, of the majority, and its political influence over-shad ows that wielded by the Methodists. It is very natural, therefore, that the Methodists should b^ jealous of Ro man Catholic progress and success, and that they should he alarmed at the nmrvelloud prosperity of that Church. Their own growth during the earlier days of the republic was astonishing, hut it has been exceeded bv that of the Roman Catholics since the begin ning of the vast foreign immigration. Moreover, while the Roman Catho lics keep their own in hand, the Meth odists are steadily losing adherents, who are either drawn off to other de nominations or are rushing into infi delity. They gain many, but many are taken from tneni also. As Metho dist families gather riches, the chil dren are ant to acquire a distaste for the Church of their fathbrs. It is n#t fashionable enough for them, nnd they are ashamed of its homely wavs and associations. Religious skepticism is also appearing among the Methodists, and weakening the force of the body which of old knew only religious faith and zeal. I)r. Curry, their chief scho lar, confesses that lie has come to the conclusion that many of the Bible stories are only old women’s tales, and that the ancient veneration for the Scriptures as the Won! of God must slowly di-iappear. Such liemg the case, does it not rather behoove the Methodists to look more carefully after those they have than to attcinnt the work of aonvertieg Roman Catholics? More than that, this is no time for war among tho different divisions of the Christian army. They are con fronted by n common enemy, and their common safety requires that Catholic and Protestnnt should tight shoulder to shoulder a gainst unhid ief. THE NEWS IN GEORGIA. Qrnnt to ba Uncovered. N. Y. Tribune. “I have been with Mr. Fish nearly all of the tiiue since the trouble began, said Colonel J. H.

Th. Ea.rsOlvorc. Evil. Morning News. The number ot divorces is steadily increasing in proportion to the number of marriages. The Legislatures of most of the Htates lutve made divorces very easy to obtain, and tho courts aro malting them still easier by their liber al interpretation of tlie statutes. Di vorces are now granted for very alight causes. If they cannot be obtained in one State they can in another. In al most every State the civil dockets of tlie courts contain more divorce coses than coses of any other kind. It is useless to enumerate the evil* that flow front divorces. They ore known and understood. Destroyed homes and scattered famili 'S are among the least of them. It is certainly time that Pro testant churches made their influence felt in this matter. They can do a great deal to create a sentiment that will compel such a change in the di vorce laws as will check the evil. There must be a change in pnldic sen' timent before there can be any hope ot a change in tlie laws. A Story with a Moral. Americas Recorder.

Tom told of how one farmer in Jasper county solved the problem. The farmer had a large field of oats to cut, and the negroes of the neighborhood formed a wort of syn dicate and struck for high wages. To accede to tiieir demands was to lose ail the profits on the oats, ami as tlie field was tolerably Hteum kinglncs BO I i.
