Not alone our love for the institate itself, but our interest in the cause of bigher eduestion for the women of Alabama and of the south, in tha spread of a Christianized refinement throughout our bomes, in all the eleva ting and ennobling forces the Judson stands for, prompts us to aid in the effort being made to replace the destroped buildinge. Will you not also contribute something to this end? We ask, not large gifts from ADY, bat from each what he or she can give. Let but the friends of the Judson unite(and surely she bas no enemies) and we promise that a more imposing edifice tban the one now in ashes, better adapted to its manifold and glerious purposes, another and yet the same aball soon lift its fair head among the trees. please sena contributions to Miss Lice dis Hornbuckle, Marion, Ale.

Lewis, Pres. Alumnae Society. SOUTHERN TIMBER. The copeumption of the yellow pine lamber of the South by the States north of the Obio river will inorease maob more rapidly in the next two or three years than it bae daring the past five. In many localities Soutbern pine lands bave advanced in value more than three bandred per cent in the past three years.

The large in vestments of capital already made long the south Atlantio and the Golf coast fally justify the prediction made a few years since by the largeet ca p- italist of the United states, that the center of the world's indastrial and commercial development would, in a few geare, be transferred to Mobile, Pensacola and Now Orleans: Railroads are now penetrating the recesses of the Southern forests. tors of new industries are springing up on every band. The unparalleled development of our mineral and timber resources ie bringing incresed population to the Southern States, especially to Alabama and is creating home mar kets for products that make land and what is on it more valuable than it ever was before. The two or three thousand miles of new railway under construction, or 800D to be commenced east of the Mississippi, togetber with the thousands of miles already straced, will require annually a vast smout of timber for eross ties, to say nothing of the 20,000 freight care, the numerous bridges and trustles, car shops, machine shops and buildings of all kinde at present required by the great corporations that bave been recently organized. New cities are springing up like msgio.

Staid old towne, like Selma, are taking 8 new lease of life sod assuming unsconetomed sotivity. The owners of Southern timber landa. need not be envious of the and deply acquired wealth of the mineral section. Cotton is king and timber is king, the sections possessing both, that will manufacture the same home, will be the possessors of a triple orown that will be the admiration of civilized world. Alabama Mirror, It is ramored that the Now Jersey Legislature will elect Plesident Cleveland to the U.S.

Senate. SOMEHOW OR OTHER. Life has a burden for every one's shoulder. None may escape from its trouble and Miss it in youth, and 'twill come when we're older. And fit ns as close as the garments we wear.

Sorrow comes into our homes uninvited, Robbing our hearts of its treasures of song. Lovers grow cold, and our friendships are slighted; Yet somehow or other we worry along. Midst the sweet blossoms that smile in our faces Grow the rank weeds that would poison and blight; And e'er in the midst of earth's beautiful places There always is something that isn't quite right. Yet oft from a rock we may pluck a gay flower. And drink from a spring in a desolate waste, They come to the heart like a heavenly dower.

And nought is so sweet to the eye or the taste. Every day toil is every day blessing. Though poverty's cottage and crust We may share, Weak is the back on which burdens are pressing. But stout is the heart that is strengthened by prayer. Somehow or other the pathway grows brighter, Just when we mourn there was none to befriend Hope in the heart makes the burden grow lighter.

And somehow or other we get to the end. THE SITUATION. Not as the Gushers and Poets Paint it, but Just as it Really is. Better Look it Squaroly in the Face, Too. Courier-Journal.

Now that the Repehlicane have secured the election and are to retarn to power, their leaders and newspapers are casting about for some escape from the plight in which most of their campaigo promises bave left them. They can keep none of those promises. The campaigo, itself, was one vast boot Seam, beginning to end. Now, therefore, that the bury of redemption is at band, what eball thing can 'always do. They can always hoist the "bloody sbirt" acd the South, to the tone of "Marobing Througb Georgis." This will explain the bellicose lettor of Mr.

President of the Senate Ingalls and its brutal twin brother, the leading editorial of the Chicago Tribane; bat evidences mal. tiply daily that all other questions are to be aunt to the rear, and the SoutherD question, to be brought to the front, acd a Lew soctional crusade, more beartless and vengefal that any whieb ever preceded it, to be ibangu. rated by the Incoming braves and books of thie most detestible party. The pretext is as simple as it is esay. taros, of course, on the negro vote.

The average Degro in the cottop, sugar and rice belts of the South, is no more fit to vote, or capable of taking care Yet of bis vote, than an orang. outang. they made him a voter. We did not do it; tbey did it. They did is to orash us, The result bae disappointed their expectations.

It bas returned, 88 they were warned it would reture, to plague them. And so, having eaten their cake, they are resolved to bave it, even if to obtain it, the South raps rivers of blood and is wrapped in the flames of war. Because the Courier-Journal made the obarge during the canvass that this would be 80, if the Republicans abould come in, we were denounced me 8D 8 larmist and a fire-brand by the Republicans every where. Mr. Carliele, in a speecb delivered at Cooper Institute, repeated what tbe Courierbad asid, and he was immediately taken to task by all the Republican p6wepapers and oratora.

Now, though the election is hardly two weeks over, we are already beginning to bear thing else from these corropt and ebameless party leader bat talk about "the suppression of the negro vote in the South," and the necessity for viding for "a free ballot and a fair procount." These be fine phrases. They bave a sound in the ears of the elmple fools for whom they are meant and to whom they are addressed. They will serve well as preteota for the zealots who bare invented them for the dark est purposes. They may, indeed, be made effectual; but we say to the good people of the North that they bode only race war and anarchy at the Soutb, and that when these come to 08 the rest of the Union had better look to itself, for it osn not hope to escape its abare of the consequences. all, may not stop be put to to murder the peace of it is too late? Me.

reason Re put be ROTO ism. the the strong band of an enligbtened servatiem upon the mad and Sad men, who are engineering this scheme to set the people of the North and South once more at arose purposes, to call from spectres the and grave invest oll. the them old with vitality, and to start an irrepressible conflict of races by comparison with which that of agatems and economies, from which we bave escaped, would be bat as an episode? We speak warmly, bat not excited. Ty; for is as olear to us as any fatare event can be to mortal ken, that the attempt of a body of bostile sectional politicians in the North to rip open the statehood of the South, andor aDJ pretext whatever, can only result i in danger; 08n remedy no evil; can reform no abuse; can belp no class, bat, on the contrary, will aggravate every bad condition that exists, creating worse conditions still; will depress business interests every where; will injare the blacks equally with the whites; will raise antagoniems never to be pat at rest, and postpone the intellectual and morel emsocipation of the people st less: a century, if it does not lay the country waste by the bloody Cestraction of an entire generation. No man pretends that it all is as it should be at the Soutb.

No more is it at the North. Nor can eitbor section bope for anytbing truly good from the other except in the way of kindness, money and business, fellow. ship and sympathy, confidence and respect, kinsbip and love, outstretebed band in time need, always the open. mutual, manly heart. These will bring everything we want and need in God's owe season; not the grinning death'e bead of a satyr like Ingelle, nor all the looney incendia.

There is demand in this State for a revision of its criminallaws, There could be no excuse for mob violence, excuse for the shooking and dreadfol occurence of Satorday night if the laws were properly sod promptly ex. ecated. When we come to ask the question what it was that actuated tire people at the county jail on Saturday night, aball we say it was vengeance alone they demanded? We believe not. We do not think that mob law would be countenanced in any community as intelligent as this if the laws, could be promptly executed.

We bave gotton careless about punishing men for capital offences; we delay poniebment; we give es of venue into counties where juries are indifferent as to what shall become of the vilest murderer; acquit a murderer on the plea of insanity, and turn bim out upon the community to do murder again; we do not value baman life as we should; we disobey the commandments of God and the laws of man and we must suffer therefor; suffer as we did in this community Saturday night, The people are, in a great measure responsible for this. We Have good laws, based upon the bighest code of marale, but we do not execute them as they eboold be, The law is not as much in fault as the people; but we do believe that if the laws of this State in regard to capital punishment could be so amended as to require speedier trial and judgment of court and jury, it would do more than thing else to prevert mob law. Let the law be so altered as to fix some definite time for the trial of those who are charged with murder. Ordinarily the law can give 8 speedy jadgment on account for $25 or $50, bat not for buman life. Let the criminsi laws regarding capital crimes be so revised as to give speedy trials and there will be we believe an end to mob violence.Daily Age Herald.

Though smiling faces hide them: Ther With pass and repass on the old highway, stifled grief beside them: The wan, white face of the woman who knows That she must wander apart From the soul where not even pity glows, With proud, but broken, heart. There are broken hearts in the world today, Beneath warm furs and laces; Bleak December knaws at those hearts, though May Smiles in the dauntless faces.

The, day resolute in the ege of busy the mart, man we see Looks down in the night through his soul, and he Looks into a broken heart. There are broken hearts in the world today, The For all the cynic's laughter; warm hearts that were red are growing gray, Hope fled and Youth went after. But the sun comes up and the world goes round, And all of us play our parts; But over as weli as truder the ground There are dead and broken hearts.
