Does tbe [Waterbnry] American really tbink that ita views on
the negro question should prevail in the South when they do not
prevail in the North or anywhere in the world? There is no such
thing as industrial and social equality for the negro anywhere in
this country, no more in Waterbary [Connecticut] than in Charles
ton, and there never will be as long aa white is white and black ia
black. Is it possible tbst any theorist in the North is better quali
fied to deal with this problem than the white men of the South,
who live with it dey and night, an J who have never escaped from
it since tbe time that the slave traders of England unloaded tnetr
chattels on tbe people of the Sontb?

RICHES FROM A SEA BOTTOM.

Reader* have beard of the
search undertaken bv Greek
divers under the Turkish govern
ment and the treasury discov
ered iu the Russian admiral’s
ship, sunk at Teberman at the
time of the naval battle of 1770,
when tbe Turkish fleet was com
pletely destroyed. The icarcb
has continued with striking suc
cess. These fortunate divers
have become rich, but tbe
Turkiih government also has
obtained some large amounts,
inasmuch as it has reserved for
itself tbe lion’s share. The fact
is that the Russian vessel, which
sank in a depth of thirty fathoms,
abounds in pieces of gold and
silver. At first the divers paid
attention to the former only, of
which they found full sacks.
These pieces are mostly single,
double and quadruple ducats.
It has already been announced
that on the first shipment to
Constantinople the divers ob
tained for their part the sum of
278.000 francs. The daily work
of the divers amounts to from
5.000 to H),000 pieces of gold.
A special boat of tbe admiralty,
manned by officers of the Turk
ish navy and by a government
inspector, is stationed continual*
ly at thia point. Bach tack
drawn from tbe water is regis
tered, the pieces counted and
a receipt given to the divers. It
appears that tbe bottom of tbe
aea is strewn with silver pieces,
which have (be dimensions and
the weight of French crowns of
five francs. Besides this
money, the divers have drawn
up various other precious objects,
gold and silver crosses, jewels,
images, swords, canes, especial
ly an evangel, of which tbe
binding of gold is ornamented
with precions atones of great
value.
This is not the first time that
such enterprises have been un
dertaken tor tbe purpose of dis
covering riches buned in tbe
sea, but they have seldom
yielded the desired results. It
would be difficult to give even a
summary of tbe innumerable
fortunes engulfed. Among
others an English bark, which
foundered in 1799 off the coast
of Holland, had on board ingots
of gold and silver valncd at
about thirty millions of which a
very small part was recovered.
The Royal Charter went down
near l be Moelfram with a cargo
worth two millions.
The greatest fortnne engulfed
was in tbe shipwreck of a
French sailing vessel off the
coast of Trafalgar. It carried a
ton and a half of gold plates and
five tons of silver plates, whose
destination was tbe famous
Cathedral of St. Jean de Malte.
There were also a large number
of precious stones, designed to
embellish some relics contained
in the cathedral, as well as to
adorn, various religions objects
belonging to chevaliers of the
order and kept by them in their
chapel.

ocratic leader, conspicuous in
the House of Representatives,
representing forty-four to fifty
sccbnd Congresses, inclusive,
and once chairman of the ways
and means committee of the

warn suddenly taken with a chill.
He left Chicago the following

sician was immediately sum

LIQUID AID.

Mint AM Ta Surgery.
YorkvUta Huialrw.
In 1399 Dr. A. Campbell White
in the Vanderbilt Clinic, made
experiments with liquid air in
the treatment of csncers, ulcers,
eczema, etc*, and became so en
thusiastic that surgeons and
physicians all over the world
were inclined to regard him as a
hopeless fanatic. They have
since changed .their opinion.
Dr. White claims the coined
word, "radaerotberapy," indica
ting a combination of the X-ray
and liquid air treatments. The
difficulty of obtaining a regular
supply of liquid air retarded bis
experiments for years; but to
day that difficulty is removed.
He used to ret a day’s supply at
a time and keep it in a tin can,
and it would all evaporate in a
day, whether used or not. Prof.
Dewar of London invented a
glass >.u)b in which a gallon can
be kept for three weeks. The
difficulties of aoplieatlon have
almost entirely disappeared and
"radaerotberapy" promiles soon
to become as common a practice
at cauterization.
Liquid air will transform any
liquid or etber to the solid state.
It will freeze alcohol solid, when
the alcohol will explode violent
ly If ignited.
Toe and of a rabbit'sear being
frozen solid it was broken ofi
without psin or hemorrhage; in
less than ten minutes the circu
lation was perfectly restored and
the wonnd began to bleed. When
sprayed on yoor skin the latter
at once becomes dead and color
less in. less than a minnte tba
part la frozen as hard as ice, but
the circulation returns in a few
minutes without the slightest in
jury to the tissues. There is no
pnin in the application. Snr
^0*0 anaesthetise with
*lt can operate witboot
the interference of so much as a
drop of blood.
Dr. White saved a boy’s haod
with liquid air. A cs rtr idg# had
exploxed in the palm, making a
nasty wonnd. At first tba liquid
was applied too freely, for it
(rote th« wound so solid that the
acalpel could not penetrate it
After waiting about thirty sec
onds the operation wss satisfac
torily performed without hem
; orrbage or pnin. When tba boy
rctorned in a few days the
wound was in perfect condition,
and it continued to improve un
til well.

cheering aad the playing of
national airs by a baud of moaie.
The treaty will be turned over
to Mr. Gudger to-day, who will
immediately advise Washington*
thereof. _ It will be enveloped in
Panamaiaa and American flags.
Mr. Gudger will keep the docu
