It is a singular social ethics which makes such notices as the above nec essary in a lady’s parlor. The Riohmond (Va.) Enquirer says j that a number of leading colored men have in contemplation the estab lishment of a colored school of Indus try in that city. Tho plan has been fully wutqred, and the work is to be begun upon it at once. Tho object is to reclaim the idle colored youth from tho streets and make them useful i members of society by instructing them In tho mechanic arts. They will have workshops, and carry out a general system of diversified labor, hoping in the end to make their in stitution self-sustaining. Impnruml Decision. The Supreme, Court has decided that a mmiiciiml corporation is not liable to an notion for damages for the illegal arrest of a citizen by one of the police officers of tho city. For such arrest, the officer is himself lia ble. This was a case from Bibb, Charles Cook vs. Mayor and Council of Macon. The above decision settles a vexed and doubtful question. Now that siich is tho law, proclaimed by the highest Judicial tribunal in Georgia, it is more than ever incumbent upon all municipal authorities to place men on tho police force who will dare to do fight, and not for anybody, ex ceed their authority. Under the law as it now is, a suit for damages ngalrtsttho average policeman, will only mulct tho plaintiff in costs, for after a judgment is obtained, there is no property to bn found subject to a levy. The humblest man in the land de serves protection, and if an officer trans'cends his authority, his bonds men are responsible. In municipal eorporatiogs, no ’one Is responsible except the police, therefore, good mon should tie placed on the force throughout, the State. 'fAVteihipd the uliove will nit pro voko (?) another threat of extermina tion. . - Tho Washington Chronicle, says of dlptiuyia: I "The* public attention has keen frequently (sailed to the alarming anti unusual prevalence of diptheria tho past winter in New York city, and it doe* not appear to diminish with tho approach of Spring. Dur ing the week, ending April 9d, the number 6f deaths was forty-one, and 1 during last week tho number was tho same. This is considerably within the average of the winter, litit. forty-one deaths a week from diptheria repre sents a fearful waste of life. The Times says that twenty-three mil lions of people in England ami Wales do not furnish a weekly average of more than sixty deaths from diptheria, and yet Now York reached during last winter sixty deaths In a week, without unybody appearing to be either alarmed or in dignant on the subject. An areo of half a mile square in the loth ami 13th wards almost Invuriably accounts for twenty-live per cent, of all the fa tal oases of diptheria for the week in New York.” It would seem then that this fatal malady springs Rom local causes. It is on the Increase in Georgia, too, we think. Is aot our.climate gradually undergoing a change ? Wiut Till Nation Djunks.—The imported brandies, wines, cordials, gin and other spirits for the year ending Juno 30, 1871, had a value, duter Included of $0,300,000. They furnished in tlvo same year 65,l)oo,00o gallons to tho trade. Tho brewers added 9,000,000 barrels or 270,000,000 gallons of malt, liquors. The import ed liquors cost the consumer about $12,000,000; tho native liquors cost him about $200,000,900, and the malt liquors $200.000,000 more, a total of a little more than $400,000,000, or $lO to the head of the population. But. as the number pi t,uq*>o uvlyo, drink is probably not more titan s,<ibo,tH)o. the amount for each is SBO per annum, $1 50 a week, 25 cents a day as the average. The sum looks large, but a "nalion <£ drunkards" cannot be made chi 25 bents a day. Consequen - ly some drinkers must get more than their share. I A i’rusiirctlvc Bureau of WelKlits and WdUurrv ‘Tabis, April 18. The diplomatic conference upon & metrical system of weighs giui measures met here on Ycap'idny. Brazil, the United Slates, Venezuela and the Argentine Repub lic were represented. The conference resolved to establish an international bureau of weights and measures.” In Germany, in the sixteenth cen . tury, a writer, inspired by tho Utopia of universal fraternity, In his dream ingr prophesied what will one day become a reality. The landgrave of Hesse was part a fool, part a prophet, when ho wrote;. “Hatton wlr abor olnen Glaubnn (loti und OorocbUgkolt vor Augen, Kla Gorlcht, Maas. Munez mid Gold, Dan stunde es besser in dieser Weld." | “If all men, elevating their regards towards God and towards justice, had the same beliefs, the same weights, measures and moneys, ull would go better in this world.” The civilized world is fast attaining cosmopolitanism. The world-from Russia t,o Brazil, from England to the Indies, front Europe to Africa and Asia through the Suez Canal, from the Atlantic to the Pacific is being transformed by commerce. Links of iron traverse a continent; and links of wire transmit news through the valleys of the ocean with tho rapidity of lightning, traversing thousands of miles “in the twinkling of an eye.” Why, then, should a metrical system of weights and measures be deemed impracticable ? Who thought the Isthmus of Suez practicable before M. Ferdinand de Lesseps had demon strated Its success V What is it to day V “The Suez Canal, from the plateau of El-Guisr, traverses tho great Me-. nezalet lake, then the lakes of Bnl lab. It passes through El-Guisr, en counters lake Timsah, then theSeru peur break, the barrier on the versant which regards tho Red Sea in the great salt lakes and in the plain of Suez.” Under the handsof industry, guided by science, tho desert has given place to laughing edifices, and the sterile waters to gardens; tho water mid the sun of Egypt will do the rest. At the junction of the maritime and the fresh water canals, the verdant track ! advancing from the Nile across the sands towards the centre of the Isth mus, is tho valley of Gcssen, of the Bible. “There Jacob and his sons, called by Joseph, were established in the land of pasturages.” It was from there that the great emigration, directed by Moses, set out. Tlp Nufz Cniml. The Suez Canal is a singular illus tration of what may be culled the irony of diplomacy. The canal was a French scheme. For many years its construction was opposed by Lord Palmerston, partly on tho ground that it could never be built und parly for political reasons. His Lordship contended that the privileges origin ally conceded to the French company wero so uxtensivo as to authorize the establishment on Egyptian soil of a strong French colony, commanding a position of military importance. With his traditional dislike for France, and that terror of French iu tluence which existed in tie* minds of ull statesmen who had hud dealings with the First Napoleon, Lord Pal merston feared that what seemed to lie simply a mercantile scheme was in truth a French (dot for blocking England’s path to India. Hut the canal was built, mainly by tho genius of M. de Lesseps and tho enterprise and statesmanship of tho late Empe ror Napoleon and tho present Khe dive of Egypt. Its practical effect has been to strengthen English com merce, and over seventy Per cent, of the ships passing through carry tlie English flag. Home changes have been made in tho uses for which the canal was intended. M. de Lesseps did not suppose it would be used by any but sailing vessels, but steamers have beeu built suited to it. There are new fleets of steamers of com pound engines capable of going long distances with little fuel. The pro jectors anticipated that the annual tonnago I)etween Europe and the East would be six million tons. It, however, hus only reached two mil lions, hut is growing. —N. Y. Herald. .Hr.

Wherever I met colored people they seemed comfortable and at ease, and neither saw nor hoard tiiat. they arc regarded by the whites otherwise than as an integral and important part of tho population. The public debt of Arkansas is very great. ‘ln my country,’ said an Arkansan to me, ‘the County Clerk and Collector of Taxes were appointed by the Gover nor. They were not citizens of the county, but strangers; they wasted the taxes; issued scrip to a Heavy amount and stole that; gave us neither improvements nor good man agement, and we had no appeal uo way, at elections or in any other method, of ridding ourselves of them. Taxes wont up to seven per cent, on a high valuation. What should we do? One of these scoundrels was shot and the other ran away. And then came a howl of political ostracism ami jierseautiou of Union men. But now wo can protect ourselves at the polls, and we will keep the pence.’ ” —A Southern Express car was rob bed of several hundred dollars at Union Point, some weeks ago. Our esteemed friend Dr. John E. ! Bacon, permits iis to publish the fol- I lowing particulars concerning tho Eucalyptus Globulus. It will lie seen that our climate is too far north to admit of its successful introduction here. We nre impressed with the belief, however, that there are many indige nous plants adapted to our climate that will answer tho sumo purpose, viz: tho absorption of malaria through tho leaves; the sunflower is a cuso in perint. Its utility in this re spect. hus been loi g reo ignlzed: Department of Agiuccltubk, I Washington, June 17, 1874. ( John E. Bacon, M D., Columbus, Ga.: Dear Sir I have yours of the 14th iustunt in regard to tho Eucalyptus Globulus tree, and in reply beg to en close a circular basod on the experi ence of the Department in its experi ments with that plant, by which you will see that it cannot be grown in your latitude; indeed, no where on tho Atlantic coast above 32 degrees north latitude, and in but few loca tions above 30 degrees. You should not place too much reliance upon the onti-uiulariul inlluenco of this tree, as its properties in that respect have not been fully tested in the United States. It is well settled that it will not stand 10 degrees of frost. Trees 15 feet high were killed in New Or leans by frost two years ago. I am, very truly, Frederick Watts. Commissioner. P. R Tho Department has young plants of the Eucalyptus, which may bn removed in October next, or next spring; and if you desire a few, and arc willing to pay expressage, they shall be sent, on advice from you in October, or the last of March next. This Department is favored with nu merous inquiries relative to seeds and plants of the “Eucalyptus Globulus,” an Australian tree, which lias lately attracted popular attention ou ac countof various properties attributed to it such ns its salubrious influence in malarious districts; its use in med icine ns a substitute for quinine; the value of the leaves in application to gun-shot wounds, &c., &e. The De partment being desirous of introduc ing this species of Eucalyptus, pro cured seed in the spring of 18G7, from which plants were produced. These were distributed in various sections of the country with a view of testing its adaptability. The result of this inquiry is recorded in the annual re port of the Department for 1870, viz: “That it will not stand in our climate where the mercury sinks ten degrees below the freezing point.” The ter ritory suited to the growth of this plant is, therefore, limited to certain States in the South and on the Pacific coast. A Jaimncse Girl'* Letter. This composition was sent to a gen tleman in Columbus to read, and is written in a beautiful, clear, even hand. Wo publish it to sho.w tho aptitude of tho girl, and then it gives a Hliglit Insight into life in China. This is the composition of a Japanese girl of about nine years old, at school in Georgetown, D. C. Stic is being educated for a teacher in her own country ut the expense of the Japan ese Government, and is in tho care of Mr. anti Airs. Chas. Lunman : MV HOME IN JAPAN ANP MV HOME IN AMERICA. I like both of my homes, but I like my homo in Japan better than in America. Of course I ought to like my home where my mother is most. My father has moved since I left, but my old home was very pleasant. D was in a village in Yeddo, but there were very few houses. Back of our house was another, where the person lived who owned our house; and near the house was a deep lake, and often my brothers and myself used to feed the fish and would watch them with pleasure. Across the lake there was a bridge, and water lilies grew under it, and on the other side of it was a ri e field, and you would have to go around the other way to get to the ! nsmk, IsoMMitK there were two other ryti field* on that side. On tho other side *a*a row of cherry trees that were very beautiful, when in blos som, and many jieopie came to see theca, bat the policemen would not ; allow them to puil the blossoms. We had a two-story house and j (torchesail around it, and a garden. My futhcr has bought anew place, [ and it has about twenty acres; and my mother wrote me there would be plenty of peas, peaches and grapes when I get home again, and it was very beautiful. It is now two years since I came to America. I crossed the Pacific Ocean in the steamship America, which was burnt last year. I could not speak a word of English then. My home in America is vory pleasant and com fortable, but the one in Japan is cooler in the summer. It is in George town, near the capital of the United States. I live with Mr. and Mrs. Lunman, who arc very kind to me, and I have many friends. Mr. Lan man lias many books and pictures, which are very interesting; and a pleasant garden, with many fruit trees and flowers, and I do not think I could bo more happy away from home; and I enjoy my school very much. Ume Tonda. Blaine’s Opinion op Grant. -“But Grunt is a man of a strangely com posite ability?” “He is,” said the ex-Bpeaker, “an extraordinary man. His silence is a great power. The silent man always has the odds with him. He bets bn the field as long as he is silent. As soou ns he opens his mouth lie has named his horse.” In answer to a question as to what course the British Government would take if the independence of Belgium was threatened in consequence of her rejection of Prussia’s demands, Mr. Disraeli said there had been much exaggeration in this matter, but if Belgian neutrality was threat ened England was prepared to do her duty. —Mrs. Eudocia W.
