Tho following Oile "to tho South” wns
wHtieu last by tha dl.tuiKUishfd
author, amt liamtou tu ua lor publication.
Wo take much ploaauro in presoutuitf It to
our renders ah the trank testimony of an
accomplished Enjflishm in to the rnctfl of
the past, and the truths of our present
comutlon. Happy would It be for the
South tr other Kilted writers of “England
and the North” who come among us, hud
the same magnanimity and impartiality
as has Influenced Mr. iupper in penning
these linos:
TO THE SOUTH.
The world haa misjudged, mistrusted, malign'd
you,
Aiul Hhould bo quick to make honest amends;
Let us, then, speak of youjust as we tind you,
Hutubiyaud noartily. cousins ami friends!
Let us remember your wrongs and yunr trials,
Biaudere*l aud pluuderud, and crushed to the
dust, *
Draining adversity's bitterest vials,
Patient in courage aud strong in good trust.
You fought for Liberty—rather than slavery!
Weil might you wish to bo quit of that ill,
But you were sold to political knavery
Msh and by diplomacy’s spider-likuskill;
’And you rejoice to s*k slavery banished.
Wlille the free servant works well as before,
Coutt tent, through many iortunes have vanished,
boon to recover all—rich as of yore!
Doubtless there had been some hardships aud
cruelties,
Casus exceptional, evil and rare.
But to tell truth—aud truly tno jewel ’tls—
Kiudueas ruled—as a rule—ev’rywhere!
Servants—il slaves—were your wealth and inher
itance,
Born with your children and grown on your
ground.
And it was quite as much int’est as merit hence
Still to make friends of dependent all round,
Yea, it is slander to say you oppress’d them.
Does a mau squander the prize of his pelf?
Was it not offeu that he who possess’d them
Rather was owned by his servants himself?
Cariug for all, as iu health, so in sicknesses,
He was their lather, their patriach chief,
Age’s infirmities, iuiaucy’s weaknesses,
Leaning on him for repose and relief.
When you went forth in your pluck aud your
bravery,
Selling for froodom both fortunes aud lives,
where waa that prophesied outburst of Slavery,
Wreaking reveuge on your children and wives?
Nowhere! You kit all to servile sale keeping.
And this was laithul aud true to your trust;
Master and servant thus mutually reaping
Double reward of the good and the jus tj
Generous Southerners! I who address you
Shared with too many belie! iu you sins;
But I recant it—thus—let me confess you—
Knowledge is victor and everywhere wins:
For 1 have seen, I have heard, aud am sure of it,
You have been;slandered aud suffering long.
Paying all slavery’s cost and the cure of it,
And the Great World shall repent of its wrong!
Martin F. Tuppeb.
Charleston, February 8, 1877.
Ileal atitl Hu mil.
For some days past an unknown female
has been in the habit of making an after
noon trip on the Woodward avenue cars and
riding to Brady street. The fust two or
three times she paid her Jarc promptly
enough, but the next trip she wrote some
thing on a card, handed it to a gentleman,
and he paid her fare. The next trip she
waited'titl the driver rang the fare bell,
and when she saw him looking through the
door she advanced and held up a card on
which was written:
‘ I am deaf and dumb/’
The driver didn't want to create a scene,
and she rode as a dead-head. Next day she
went through the same performance, but
when she boarded the car the third afternoon
he was ready for her. He had every reason
to believe her a fraud, as she had been heard
to speak in a car coming down. When she
entered the car she took a seat and began
reading, seeming to have no earthly interest
in the fare question. There are no conduc
tors on the route, and the driver controlls
both doors. Belcre Brady street was reached
the unknown female was the only passenger
She rose and rang the bell at the street,
but the driver paid not the least heed. She
rang again, and he hurried up the horse
then she tried to pull the bell off ihe car, but
the man never turned his head. The woman
rnsbed to the door and pushed and tugged
till she was red in the face, but not an inch
would it budge. Rushing to the front door
she pounded the glass in a turious manner,
and by and by the driver ‘‘accidentally’’
looked around. # She gestured wildly, and as
he shook his head in a stupid way she held
up her card which said: “I am deaf and
dumb.*’ The driver fumbled around lor two
or three minutes and brought out a small
placard on which was printed:
‘•So am I!’’
They were then about half a mile above
Brady street, making excellent time, and the
woman's indignation was so great that she
shoook her fist at the driver and screamed
out:
“I’ll have you shot for this!”
He held up his card, shook his head, and
paid no further attention to her blood-cord**
ling threats. At the turntable, a mile and
a half above Brady street, the door slid back
and the woman jumped into the mud. She
blessed that man from crown to sole, and
she blessed all his relatives back to the rev
olution, but he did not seem to hear her. As
he started off she called out:
“You are a monster, viliian, sneak and
thief!” 9
He gave the lines a shake, got the card
irom his pocket, and she was not too far
away to read the answer:
“So am J!”
Tne Onerous Debt.
Philadelphia is getting as hopelessly in
debt as NewYork One of the local journals
guys that "taxes now amount to confisca
tion.” In four years the floating debt of
the city has increased from $1,748,000; to
$11,000,000; the bonded debt from $51,-
000,000 to $73,000,000 the yearly expenses
from $0,000,0u0 to 12,000,000. The same
authority adds:
Our burdens daily grow heavier, taxes
and rents higher; manufacturers flee in
terror to more faveral localities. Partisan
service is the only path to power and the
tenure of office the favor of a party chief.
Men crawl out of obsenrity to grow sud
denly rich in unsalaried offices. The
faithless are rewarded, the faithful punish
ed.
This is a bad state of affairs, but as it
comes from such respectable authority, we
suppose the story must be true.
I'ultlnpr a Mooted Question at Rest.
For years there has been a dispute
between Maryland and Virginia con
cerning the true boundary line be
tween the two States. The contest
was embittered because of certain
riparian rights being involved, in
cluding the title to several valuable
oyster beds. Conflicts had become
so frequent and serious between the
rival oyster claimants that it was
felt necessary some settlement
of the dispute should be made
that, would put an end to the dif
ficulties. Accordingly one arbi
ter was chosen to act for each
State, and ex-Gov. Cbas. J. Jenkins,
of Georgia, made the third. The
commissioner for Maryland and Gov.
Jenkins made a decision in favor of
Maryland, giving that State sover
eignty over the whole of the Potomac
to its southern bank, and to Virginia
dominion over the soil on her side to
low water mark, and a certain stipu
lated use of the river beyond low wa
ter, such as to facilitate the full en
joyment of the riparian rights, with
out interfering with navigation. The
terms were accepted by both Mary
land and Virginia.
We regret to state that General E.
M. Law met with a severe accident
last evening, which resulted in the
breaking of bis right leg in two
places, below the knee. He is at the
residence of Dr. 11. A. Howard, on
Perry street, and as comfortable as
could be expected under the distress
ing circumstances. Monlgumei'y

Pre oared bv XANTHINE CO.. Richmond, V
Sold by Purcell, Ladd & Oo.,Richmond, Va., and
druggists and country merchants. Price $1 per
bottle. .
This Incomparable preparation for the Dairis
commended to the public on its own merits.
It prevents the Hair from falling off, prodneing
a rapid and healthy erowth; eradicates scurf and
dandruff, and cures diseases of the scalp. Try it
and judge for yourself.
[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Sec’y of Publication of
Presbyterian Church South.]
Richmond. July 27,1874.
The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed the dandruff from
the scalp and made my hair solt and pliable. It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color.
E. T. BAIRD.
[From Rev. Mr. Cameron, Minister of Presbyte
rian Church South.]
Mossy Creek. Tenn, Aug. 22, 1876.
Xanthine Cos., Richmond, Va.:
I have used the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it. and have nev
er known it to fail in accomplishing all you
claim for it. It is an excellent tonic, a pleasant
dressing, removing and preventing dandruff and
all unpleasant itching, promoting and preserving
the natural growth and color of the hair, and ren
dering it glossy and pliable. I confidently,
cheerfully, knowingly recommend it.
