Among the Btile uoticed but most important factsin the history of ibe world is the enormous red eem increase in the number o/' white men in it. It is barely tvo centuries (.1683) since those races, thongh even then he most ener getic of mar kit'd, formed but a small fraction in the total humau itj —probably 10 per cent, of the whole—and we;e by no means certain that they could defeud themselves against the remain del- Thestrean of Asiatic conquest had not stopped; for the Turks Weie at the gates of Viena; an Af rican fleet was dominant in the .Mediterranean; Asia knew noth ing of the whites except in one or two tolerated settlements on the coast fringe of India ; Africa be longed exclusively to Africans; and though the whites had mas tered South Vmerica, where, read in the light of subsequent history, their conquests were incredibly rapid, most purt of North Ameri ca still felt /ndiau wars to be ter. rible and even formidable events- Evon a hundred years later the white people, though under the operation of the still unexplained law which at cne time fosters and at another time restricts the gaowth of ape pie, were increas ing slowly, and were still only a hundred and fifty millions, or prob ably a seventh of the population of the gl>be. They had, indeed, annexed /he . two Americas and Northern Asia, thus quintupling the area of their estate upun the planet; and probably nml iplying tlmir fixed W9altb by at least tweu ty-fola—a counfry being always the largest item in tbe wealth ol any race or nation—but tuey had only begun to settle in tbe Wes tern continent; they had but com menced to conquer in Sout eru Asia; they bad visited, but not occupied, Australis, and iu East ern Europe and Western Asia they were only slaves’ to au Asiatic horde. * The century, however* ending in 1884 has ueen marked by an advance si rapid aud so un broken as to be scarcely credible aud present one of the most start ling facta in history. The white races in and out of Europe, under the influence of some si ill rnyste rious call their energies, have multiplied nearly threefold aud are to-day, a 3 Mr- R. Gifftnbas shown in his receut address to the sialistical society, 420,000,000. As there is no evidence of any corresponding increase in iLe dark races, aud as, iudee t, such increase has been, outside India, nearly impossible, the white men are now, by the best calculations, one third of the entire population of the world, instead of being, as they were only two centuiies sgo, a lutle more than 10 per cent- They have, moreover, if auy Ipug iucreaseu iu physical strength, and have so developed in brain and consequent power of organization) that if may be doub/ed if he whole remainder of maukied, even if all were reduced to eaqual weapous, conld seriously injure the white third, which, again, if it choose to ac. together and employ without pity the weapons its inteligence has enabled it to cons ruct, could’ ;n a few years reduce the remain-, der of ihe world to an unin habited desert. Except in the South Pa cific. where by one means or aD other, they kill out the darker men, the white races show no ten dency of that kind—though, we take it, in the dawn of history they exterminated pretty freely, espe cially in India—but they do show a strong disposition to take pos aession of the whole earth and govern it as they please, The Chinese are the only great race remaining which can be said to be truly independent aud free from the predominating influence, more or less directly exercised, of the energetic white men, who pour ia increasing streams over the re mainder of tin earth s surface. The Chinese keep a few ships, and a few i mall vessels manned by daik sailors, mostly p>ra es or tlavt-s, or pilgrim carries, still hang about the coasts of Southern OUK ON VV LABOR FOR ITS ADVANCEMENT LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. August 11 1885 Asia or Eastern Africa, but the fighting natives of the world, and its great transport ;-hips, and its mercantile marine, are all alike white. No dark race could bom bat d a white harbor, or transport an army across a hundred miies oi sea in the face of a prohibi ion from white men, who now exclu sively occupy Europe, except Ihe corner ou which Cans'antiaople stands; who occupy two thirds of of North America, and dciui- atj over Nor'lt au 1 South America down to Patagonia; who have taken possession of Australia and New Zelund, anil most of the lar ger isles of the South Pacific; wno claim if they do not possess, the whole of Northern Asia from the Ural to the Yellow set. and who dominate the whole of India, China and the Delta ofthcNie, They have lately taken to bouquet- Air.ca, and aie enteiing i' at a hundred points at ence; seizing almcst silently, certainly without serious effort, huge slices like french Africa, South Africa, Mad agascar, tha vast valley of the Niger, and the still moie exten sive region drained by the system of rivers called the Congo. Nor is there much reason to believe that th process willsooD be check ed, for the white men aro urged forward by an iiresstible spur over which they have no control. The increase of tt e yellow race, which musi once have been so in credibly fast, has stopped, aud ihat of the dark races of India, which for a century has been amaz ing, is being checked by recurrent famines; Avbnt that of the white peoples goes on so fast that the transport of a hugh army ever; year across the Atlantic makes an impression on their numbers And at their present rate of increase they will in li)84 be a thousand millions, or much more than half of them existing mankind. The Chinese have recently shown some resisting power; the English have appearautly —it may prove only appearantly—halted, indecisive, in tLeir march up the Nile, but the general movement sweeps ever forward, and within the Centuiy in seems more that. probably thut every corner of the earth will be ruled by wlme men, aud that the “audax lapeti genus,” as Horace perceived them to be, will be the only independent race within the planei, which their tieeleas enter prise will then nave rendered qui e visible and very small. Notevtn internal lawarreßsis the rush, still less human volition. Because (Germans aud freochinen fought France is in Tonqun, Tunis, aud Madagascar; and in spite of Mr Gladstones Englishmen are reach ing the ate encamped in Egypt have gained-full footing in Borneo, are legally reigning on the Niger, and are looking with greedy eyes on all the remaining lands of tee 9ou h Hacitic. I*, is difficult to read such a record with out feeing inat the quarrels of old Europe, of which we make so ranch, are not rather petty affairs or without doubting whether after all Prince Ilismark does very grent ly affest the for unes of tue hu man race The ultimate law giver who scatters tbe nations, and who has taken off the ban of sterility from tbe Aryan to inflict, ii on the Turanian, seems to be stronger than he. This world is a herritage of the white man—that is the first lesson of Mr. Giffen’s figures but there is another also which Englishmen will do well to thiuk over patient ly and, if they can, without hatred in their hearts They have no right <o anger with the visible will of ffod. It Mr Giffea’s figures aie correct—and, subject to some ai reat of existing law, they, must be aa correct as if they were merely Uuaoplie ca’culat.ions —There is but one rase on earth with which it behooves the Tueton in all Ins branches to keep friends This supremacy of the white man will in the end and reccollect children may be born to-day who will Bee the end, and then be younger than sir Moses Monteflore —-tie the joint suprema cy of Teuton and tue Slav. In 1984 when the world contains 1,000.000,000, whi'e faces, 000,s 000,000 of these will be English j and Germans, 30 ,000,000 will be Slav. There will practically be no other white races, the French not increasing the Spaniards in creasing slowly if, indeed as in Mexico, they do not rath«r sutt'i er absorption iuto a dark people; the Scandinavian having stopped absolutely ; »ud the Irishman true to his destiny, helping only awel the power of the race he professes to detest. If the Tueton and the Slav, can keep friends the world is theirs, and if not there awi 1 l>e the most terrible struggle e\er recordediu history since the white barbarians fought the white Ri maiis and their darker allies We ate not sure that an agreement is possible uti iM a great light has taken place, for Slav- and Teuton seem unwilling to comprehend each other, hough there is not between them the internecine ha tied some;imes observed in his/o> ry ; but if their statesmen could arrange terms on which the con flict could be permaneut'y avoided a huge mass i f misery might be saved to our immediate descend un s. TM avoid the quarrell will be difficult, for the Slav, is just now » raugled to reach the open water and to take his natural part in the greater movement of man kind he must pitch himielf ou somebody, be it on Turkey Eng land or China ; but the means of avoidance is wo*4h the study and patience of years. Mankind is not very likely t o be happy when all is done, for in all this move ment is no cure for sin, or pain, or poverty ; anxiety increases as fast as intelligence, and sympathy which means suffering—faster than strength ; but one grand con dition of ever moderate well-be ing is that Slav.and Tueton should learn how to live iu peace. If not the Tneton may some day—iu less than century —find thst every white man is a foe, and thu/ the third white man has tbe pow er of ranging behind him in the darker races of mtnkind. Tneton has ari of dtluminance, but /he Sluv. has gained a strong hold wherever he has ruied, and can do at least one thing we cannot he can oouquor the 'furraniun without ronsiug his unquonchah’e ha/e. Now the Turraniau is the only race no/ white which shouH iu 1984 be strong. A GRAVEYARD STORY. A physician who practiced in tbiH country long years ago was ap plied to by likely young man for instruction in mxteria me.lioa. Tbe young man became a medioal B'u dent. Not long after he began a person died of a strange affection aud the docor being desirous of investigating the disease said to h}s embryo Esculapius . “Look here, , suppose wt go to the grave 10-uignt and get that body ; you'll never have a better chakce to ltarn something about anatomy ?” Tho youug man was agreed. They weut to the burial ground under cover of darkness. The doctor stcod oft’some twenty yards from the newly made grave to keep a lookout aui his compan ion dug. The bodyiseeker had rerched the lower part of the grave aid his work, was almost done. But on nearing the coffin of tbe la‘e deceased he swerved a little from bis course and penetrated ihe coffin of a grave wLioh was asperated by only a thin wall of clay from tbe one he had intended to rob, The body in the aid grave had been with its Mother Earth ; just long enough for the different ! elements to be ready to make an exposition of wonderful properties •As the pick struck ihe old grave the phosphorus that had accuinu- lated wth accompanying decay became ignited and a great light enveloped the grave and Ihe dark ness of mgbt was turned into the hideousness of a terrible light. The scene of operations was vaca ted ; the jouug man fled in nil haste ;he ruthed past the watch ful M. D. and the last the latter heard of him he was tearing through the undergrowth and falling over logs as he ran from the scene of terror. After he had closed the grave the doctor went to his office.

"Doe or if you waut at y more medicine studied you must get somebody else to study it.” TLe physiciuu attempted to explatr the occurrence, but no in ducement could be tiered the voting man to con inue the stidy of medicine.—Walton News A TERRIBLE VENDETTA There has been au old sued beg tween the tiordoua and Crawfoids in Morgau county, which resuite l •u the death of Calvin Gordon on Tuesday evening. It seems that old man Richard Gordon, the futh er of the man killed and uo'ary public of Wellington District in Morgan county, presented Henry Ciawford for carrying couceuled werpons. Then Crawford to get revenge tried to have the lines of the district so changed as to cut Richard Gordon oft into another distiict. This brought about the trouble that caused thedcateof Calvin Gordon. Both pat tied met in Aladison, and both parties had their crowds with tuetn. They tried to get up a row in Madison The Crawford party to avoid a difficulty went a different rente I ome, and the Gerdon party coming up with them laughed at the Crawford par ty for tryinh to avoid a difficulty. Old man Richard Gordon, told the Crawford party that it had to be settled a/ once. Borne one of the Gordon party cursed old nun Rooks of the Crawford party, and young Rooks knocked Mam Got don down for cursing his father, and this started the row. Henry Crawford 'hd nov seem to have much to do with the fuss. When he taw Calvin Borden in the act of Atricking his brother, he tired across the wagon, shoo ing Calvin Gordon just above the left eye. The killing occured about 8 milts north of MudiHon.
