A Republican contemporary, under
the head of "Southern Illiteracy,"
mentions that there are i ,350,050 illit
erate voters in the Southern States.
These arc all Democrats, we are told.
Our understanding is that there are
nAiriv &. million nesroes in the South
em States entitled to vote and who near
ly always vote the Republican ticket..
It cannot be possible that they have ali
advanced to that enlightened (condition
which removes them from the &lumn
of "illiterate."
Mr. Joseph Medill. publisher of the
Chicago Tribune, was a witness in
New York last week beiore the United
States senate sub-committee on labor
and education.' The chief cause of the
impecunious condition of the- masaesf of
the laborers in this country he attributed
to their own improvidence. The only
way'to improve them was to teach
them to save. Too much of the earn
ings of the laborer were spent in liquor
and tobacco. It had .been calculated
that the amount annually spent by the
laboring population in drink was $400.
000,000. and at least $200,000,000 mere
was spent in cigars, tobacco and useless
amusements. ; : -" '

the one through which the large fleet of
coasters for -New York and other
Northern por,ts went in and out, to

course deepened the water on the main
bar: and with some aid ! from dredges
on the bar and in thechannel in the
river, vessels carrying;' from 1? to 19
feet water now' go in and out, and
come up directly to jthe wharves at

Everybody who has dyspeptic friends,
which, unfortunately, in this country, is
equivalent to saying everybody, mu9t
have beard ot a new and wonderlul
cure for that disjaial complaint and of
its brilliant achievements Fortunately
this blessed remedy cannot be patented.
for it is nothing more nor less than ; hot
water. It is clean and not nasty, and
though its efficacy may have been exag
gerated and it may some day be discov
ered that it is a dreadful! insult to the
stomach, there can oe no doubt that its
popularity is great and rapidly increas
ing We know of instances in this
city where it has boon tried and proved
beneficial. A glassful hot, not warm
should be taken directly after every
