Is it any wouder that the West can
grow when everything they want in
the shap of internal improvements is
built by grants of land from the United
States? These public lands are the
joiut property of all the States and yet
not one Southern State can get a foot
of land to aid in building her roads.
If one-hundreth part of the public
plunder was applied to the South she
would out grow the Sorth-West, for
her genial climate would invite im
migration from every quarter.

ADVICE FROM MR. BOYCE.
lion. William W. Boyce, once n
mm Representative iu Congress from South
Carolina, writes a letter on " the situa
tion." published in the Charleston Xeiutj
thc closing portion of which reads as
follows :
It is a striking fact that both the
great political parties of thc country

represent Southern society as in a con-

1 you ought to rognlatc the relations
between the whites and the blacks so
as to have harmony and good feeling
if possible between them. To this end
nothing is so eflicacious as kindness to
the blacks.
1 You ought to have perfect toler
ance of liolitical opinion. Let every
one, white and black, vote as he pleases,
and trust to your tact and natural in
uuenee for a just share of political
power.
3 You ought to extend a cordial and
a kind welcome to the Northern people
to settle among you, without regard to
their political opinions. Once you did
this, the troubles of tho future would
be largely overcome, and your material
progress would be wonderlul. See
what immigration is doing tor the
Northwest, in spite of its austere
elimahe. Think what immigration
would do for the genial South.
t Yoa ought to sock to conciliate
the Federal Government. Remember
tho Scripture injunction : "Agree with

GIANTS OF OLDEN TIMES.! ft
In one of his' great lectures, mt
Sillimau, the younger, alluded to the
skeleton of an enormous lizard of eighty ,
feet. From this the Professor$ infer
red, as no living specimen of such
magnitude has ever been found, that
the species which it represents has,
degenerated. The verity of his pol4
tion he rather singularly' endeavored
to enforce by au allusion to tho well
known existence of giants in oldeU:
times. Tho following list is the data
upon which this singular hypothesi
is based: ,
The. giaut exhibited atBouen in 1830,
tho Professor says, measured near
eighteen feet.
Gorapius saw a girl that was ten feet
high. .;. ;
The (Saint Galabra brought from
Arabia to Rome, under Cludius C&sar,
was ten feet high.
Fanum, who lived in the time of
Eugene II, measured eleven feet.
The Chevalier Scrog, in his voyage
to the Teak Tenerifle, found in one of
thc Caravans of that mountain the
head of the Gunich, who had sixty
teeth, and was not less than fifteen
feet high.
The gamt barragu, slain by Orlande,
nephew of Charlemagne, twenty eight
feet high.
In ISM near St. German, was found
the tomb of the giant Isorent, who was
not less than thirty feet high.
In 13'.)0, near Rouen, was round a
skeleton whose skull held a bushel of
corn, and who was nineteen feet high.
The giant Bacart was tweuty-two
feet high ; his thigh bonos were found
in 1703 near the river Moderi.
In 1S'J3, near the castle iu Dapnine,
a tomb was found thirty feet loug, six
teen wide aud eight high, on which
was cut in gray stone these words:
,k Ketolochus Rex.v The skeleton was
found entire, twenty feet long, and four
fret across the shoulders, and five feet
from the breast bone to the back.
Near Palermo, in Sicily, was fouud
the skeleton of a giant thirty feet high,
aud iu KVil) another forty feet high.
Near Mazrino, iu Sicily, in 1810. was
found the skeleton ot a giant thirty
feet high, the head was the size of a
hogshead, and each ot his teeth4weigh
ed nearly live Ounces. f
We have no doubt that " there were
giants in those days,'7 aud the past
perhaps more prolific in producing
them than the present. But the histo
ry of the giants during the olden time,
v, as not more remarkable than that of
dwarfs, several of whom were even
smaller than the Thumbs aud Nut of
our own time.
