HUB- 11m Prlat**. Among tbe many classes of mankind who deserve our deepest sympathy, the printer should by right come In for the largest share. He ts the most afflicted work of God, If, perchance, ho can claim his origin in that direction at all; which. Indeed, Is doubtful, for has he net risen from the " devil t" And right here I would say, paren­ thetically. that if Darwin has not found his M missing link1* yet, perhaps this Is it and It was reserved for me to find. He Is the most afflicted, because even when working tie has to use a stick, lie. is an honest man, for he will stick to his word--until he can find out what It Is. He Is a man of morals, for ho sets good examples--wheu working on ah arithmetic. He Is a man of princi­ pal, for he does all his work by rule. Surely the printer's treasures must bo laid up In another world, for In this ho has none.--Aurora Newt. . 89"The Harshalltowu (Is.)

Very good; porfcaps you know what my business ts feottor than , I do. But, Mr. Kearney, tibere Is only one gentleman who Is at present au­ thorised to shew me how to mind my business, and that Is the Pope of Borne. Perhaps, Mr. Kearney, If you will write -to him h«* will transfer his power to you. And now let me tell you a little •lory, Mr. Kearney. I bavo lived here * groat many years and I know the temper of the people of California pretty well; and a long time ago, be­ fore you had come to America, I went to bed one night leaving everything going on In the city as usual. Well, Mr. Kearney. I had a comfortable night's rest. I arose and looked out of the window, and there In the street waa a poor fellow hanging by bis neck quite dead suspended from a lamp­ post. Ho waa a poor fellow who did not know bow to mtnd his own busi­ ness, Mr. Kearney, and that was all. Too mind your business well. Mr. Kearnej, and I will mind ui|pu Qond morning." Exit deputation UrNo event, since the withdrawal of the federal bayonet from the control of Southern politics, has done so much to bring about a better state of feel­ ing between North and South as the recent visit of a number of Southern gentlemen to Boston and the New England manufactories. When men like Senator Gordon" Improve such an opportunity to declare that the South is looking for Its future welfare, not to politics, but to Industry | that their purpose In enlisting foreign assistance and sympathy Ss to enlarge and diversi­ fy the means of prosperity and wealth within their limits, with an ultimate view to tbe greater prosperity of the nation ot which they claim to be re­ garded as true and loyal cttlxfns; that they desire above all things to estsb- lislt such relations with other parts of the country as will make an end of sectional animosities and give to all sections an equal interest In the wel­ fare, happiness and prosperity of every other--when such words are spoken with emphasis and repeated with pathos from Southern lips on Massa­ chusetts soil, it seems time for the North to cordially second every at­ tempt of the South to Improve its In­ dustrial oondition, and to give what­ ever Instruction or warning its example may Impart. The prosperity of tbe whole country depends upon the pros­ perity of all parts of it. It ts of prime importance, from a purely business point of view, that the South should be at peace with us, and within Itself; snd full development of Its productive Industry Is tbe best possible cure for the political turmoil that has held fc*r tsek, and held us back with her. African 'coutrcaiort <4fr> 'gaged to €9»slr«etlng a railroad la Brasil art bavfttf anything but a smooth time of It. From tbe start, trouble and vexation bavo beset them. First the Mercedlta, taking out from Philadelphia men and material, was long osi the passage. The wrack of the Metropolis, which sailed next, increas­ ed anxiety for the pioneer vessel. Those were but the beginnings of trouble.-- The white men sent out were too thin- skinned to cope with the poisonous files encountered on the route of the pro­ posed road, and blacks had to be sub­ stituted in part. Then the Italians struck for higher wsges and became riotous. The refractory ones were subdued by other laborers, Imprisoned in a jail built for the purpose, of rail­ road iron, and guarded by the engineer oorp« armed with rifles. The rioters were not suppressed, however, till they committed a number of depravations. Including the stealing of considerable baggage. Besides, fever took bold of the men, and when tbe Mercedlta. sailed on her return a number had died But over all these obtsuules It Is con­ fidently believed American plnok «Mid perseverance will prevail. igflt Is worthy of notloa that a resolution was introduced in Congress authorising the President to call out, if necessary, 75,000 volunteers In case of riot or insurrection during a recess of Congress. Tho resolution should be passed without delay. It will be, at least, a warning which all hot-headed conspirators against the laws will be likely to consider.
