The New York Times is amending the State constitution. George Francis Train still dispenses lunacy in Madison Square, New York. Pittsburg is struggling in' a paroxism of the railroad spike manufacturers' strike. Henry M. Stanley holds the flush hand in Africa. The French and Portugese are no where. Prince Bismarck is not alarmingly sick. He has the Pope on his mind chiefly, and the disorder doei not yield readily to treatment. Since Mrs. Senator Fair received her souvenir of $230,000 spinstersv are looking for California Senators to marry with a view to divorce. There is a naughty quarrel among the Phil adelphia clergymen of the Presbyterian synod. It is trying to be made evident that these are clergymen. Jay Gould is bestowing questionable com pliments on the newspaper press. He says it abuses him, but he don't care anything about it. The Pennsylvania boss is trying to re-organize the Democratic party in that State, but it is said the only sign of organization is among the stragglers. Mobbing a circus was tried at Dover, Del aware, some days ago, without satisfactory re sults. There was some irregularity in its silver department, but it didn't reform worth a cent. We propose to the city railroads less drivers talk on front platforms, and less inat tention to the surroundings. While we think drivers should be denied this talking priv ilege, we think, too, they should be furnished with a seat. They are not cattle. Jay Gould his sent to the papeis, an in ventory of the vices from which he is totally exempt. They Correspond exactly with those of the James boys. He does not smoke, drink or play cards, commit murder, nor steal excepting now and then a railroad. NORTH AND SOUTH, "North and South" is a monthly, 16 page journal, published at Buffalo, N. Y., "de voted to immigration and the development of the ngricultural, manufacturing and industrial resources of the South." We find upon our table the May number, which is accompanied by a circular letter in the form of an article entitled, "Does the South want Immigra tion !" This circular is induced by the tt- markable fact that although the paper is de - voted exclusively 10 tne promotion ol the objects declared, it his yet received no sup port or encouragement of any kind, from the boutll excepting suu.cnuers 11. a urcuia - tion of 10,000. This is certainty surprising, sum it u iv wa r"" ,w " v ous inquiry, as Id whether the South really wants immigration. We are led to interpose some brief reflec tions on the subject. There is not the slightest doubt that the enterprise, or what ever called, which leads to a frantic desire to have the country fully occupied within the briefest possible time, to have all its resources worked, its wealth realized, so that within as few gtneratlons as possible we shall be as thickly peopled as the old world, and as near ly as possible in the condition of the old world, is not Southern enterprise. It is thought to be originally Anglo-Norman, and that stem energy of the ancestral English is doubtless the staple of the thing, improved by the American sense of having inherited ajl the go-ahead, push-along-keep-moving ele ment that has been vouchsafed by an all-wise creator to mankind. We think the South has not been endowed with much of it, and the editor is undoubtedly cor rect in saying that it probably arises from no hostility to immigration, but from indifference, from a lailure to think seriously upon the subject at all. For our selves we are totally free from anything that resembles the Yankee incentive for hurrying up things in the fashion we have described, that is to say in order that results may be realized in wealth, in multiplied and greater cities, in circles ol millionaires, in a splendid land of greater affluence, population and power than any other, losing as we do under its influence more and more all sight of moral and spiritual progress, and we would put away such incentive and give its place to one grounded in human progress, the exaltation of the great human family. Such incentive is only to be preferred to the other extreme to-wit: the native American principle of ex cluding the foreigner from all political fellowship with Americans, and denying him every stake in the grand inheritance of a great people. The rational and proper motive, as w,e see It in the light of these re flections, for extending every possible facility, all practicable encouragement, and the fullest enjoyment of the national rights and franchises to foreigners, is to mitigate the hardship and alleviate the miseries of the children of iron fortunt, the uncared for sons of toll, struggling against the political despotism s and the social disabilities consequent on their condition in their native lands. We would people our States and Territories with tho se who are denied the comforts and pleasures of existences in their own countries, and because they are denied them. But this we view as incidental. The great work of America is to dethrone power in the political and wealth in the social world, and not build for them anew, to force the universal recognition of the sovereignty of man, to so perfect social science as to widen more and more its beneficent and humane rule, and cause it as fast as possible to supersede poli tical science, to make the sovereign citizen the monarch of the future all the world over, and public justice only self-justice made uni versal. In the meantime we take pleasure in urging North and South" upon the public atten tion. The publisher proposes to furnish it for 90 cents until January, 1885. Dr. J0I111 Snyder ou Gambling. In his sermon last Sunday in St. Louis, Rev. Dr. John Snyder said : " Science has driven chance out of the universe. Luck is an obsolete work on intelligent lips, and yet the first Napoleon never ceased being merely an imperial gambler. In one sense there may be no harm in a man's risking his own dollar upon the speed of a horse or any other un certain thing, but then 'no man lives to him self alone.' Gambling is seriously detri mental to the commercial and moral interests of society. It is against public policy. First of all It Imperps commercial interests and then affects injuriously the reputations and characters of those who engage in it. Under the most favorable circumstances it destroys the very root of business education. It nulli fies the great lesson that labor is the true source of wealth, and teaches our bovs and girls that luck is the foundation of prosperity. It poisons the springs of honest labor. In scores of private parlors ladies and gentlemen add the zest of gamb ling to their social pleasures, thus violating the laws of the State. Think of the number of these playing for small stakes and you will get some faint notion of the amount of money mar mgsi uiijimy tunuc uuuus in 01 injurs We are. said he, unconciously and thought lessly vulgarizing our homes and our social lire uy mis aunujucic ui iuc gaming liiuic. Beardless buys are hanging like moths around the 'bucket shops,' and the same gambling instinct in everywhere conspicious in com mercial life. Judge Emerson has decided that the so-called dealing in futures is a gam bling transaction and therefore all debts so contracted should be outlawed, But even if this decision is sustained it will have few good results. A hundred ways will be found to evade the law. You may teach your girls and boys sound principles but if you gamble In church lairs, ganiDie in Dusiness, gamble away ihe social hours, they may neglect the text book lor the living example."
