THE NEW SOUTH. Address of H. W. Grady Before the New Kn gland Society At U*a FontaUMn' Dteaer 4a New Tork— eloquent Tribute* to A bra hem IJaooln, the Conte derate Soldiers, and jthe Reetored Colon.

Following are the salient passages m the speech of Mr. Henry W Grady,,of Atlanta, On.. delivered at the dinner of the New England Society, given on Forefather's Day at Delroonieo s, in New York City: "There wu a South of secession and slaverr -that south Is dead. Were l. . South of unto aid Oeeooiu—that South ts living, breathing, growing every hour.-’ These words Mellrered from the lips of Benjamin B. Hill, in Tammany Halt, in ina, make my fbxt for to-night. . Pardon me one word. Mr. President, spoken for the purpose of gettingtnto the volumes that go out annually freighted with the rich eloquence of yonr speakers—the fact that the cavalier as well as the Puritan was on this continent in its bariy days, and be waa “up and able to he about." I have read your books carefully, and 1 find no mention of that fact, which seems to me Important for preserving a sort of historical equilibrium. With the cavalier once established as a fact In your charming little books, 1 shall let him work out his own salvation, as he has always done with engaging gallantry, and we wilt hold no controversy as to his merits Why should wet Neither Puritan nor cavalier long survived as such. The virtues and traditions of both happily sUll live for the Inspiration of their sons snd the saying of the old fashion, limb Puritan and cavalier were lost in the storm of their first revolution, and the American citizen, supplanting both and. Stronger than cither, took possession of the Republic bought by their Common blood and fashioned In wisdom and charged himself with teaching them free government and establishing the voice of the people as the voice of i Ood. Great types, like valuable plants, sre slow to •towel' and fruit. Uut from the union of these colonist*, from the wtralghtentng of their t of their blood, slow purposes and the crossing of th _ I perfecting through a century, earns he who stands as the first, typical American, the first who comprehcnd-d within himself all the strength and gcntleuOSs. all the majesty and grace of this Repub'.io—Abrabam Lincoln. He waa the sum of Pan tan and cavalier, for in his ardent nature were fused the virtue* of both, and In the Ccpth of his great soul the .faults of both ware lost. He was greater than Puritan. Ifrea*r,rr than cSvalter. In that he was American, u>u that in htsmoinely form were first gathered, '•.Be vast and litrilllng turves of this Ideal government, charging it with such tremendous meaning and so elevating it above human suf fertng that martyrdom, though Infamously aimed, came a* a fitting crown to a life const , crated from Its cradle lo human liberty. Let u each cherishing his traditions and honoring his fathers, • build with reverent hands to the type of this simple but sublime life, in which all types are; honored, and In the common glory which we shall win as Americans, there will bit plenty anil to tfiuire for your forefather* and for ■nine.

Our future, our very existence depend upon our working nut this problem in full and exact justice. We understand that when Lincoln signed the Emancipation Prorlamation your victory wad assured, for he then ranrultted you to the cause of human liberty, against which the arms of men can not prevail while those of our statesmen who-made slavery the corner stone ol the Confederacy doomed us to defeat, committing us to a cause that reason could not defend or the sword maintain in the light of advancing civilisation. Had Mr. Toots be said, which he did not say. that he would call the roll of his slaves at the tool of Bunker Hill, he would have been foolish, for he might have known that whenever slavery became entangled ia war It must perish, and that the chaltle In human flesh ended forever tn New England whoa *our fathers—not to he blamed for parting wlthwhal didn't pay-sold their slave* to our father*—not to he praised for fn paying thing when they saw ft.

A NfcW I htnUY, An Opinio** That U«s*IJ(ht nnd OaldnM] AInjr lie Clowly ConnerteJ. Hi.- f.tu-i' .of baldness has often becit sought for and guessed at, bit it ran not 4® mi ill that any satisfactory explanation has up to the* present time, be *n riven. It is now discovered ! y a hairdresser, who says: People give all kinds of explanations for it—rutting the hair too short,* letting it grow* too long, smoking, drinking strong eoffee, worry, wearing higli hats, wearing lowhats. wearing your hat in-doors, not wearing it out-doors, late hours and a hundred other things. Now you will notice that there are no classes of men more frequently l»ald than ret til salesmen. compositors. book-keeper^ and office clerks in certain lines of business. Why shonlil baldness affect them more than others? Because they habitually stand or sit nearly every evening under gaslights. Book-keepers always have a siroug liglit right over their heads or jkist in front of them. So do clerks w ho have to Work at night. And as for compositors, sometimes they work all day finder gaslights. Retail salesmen sell goods at night directly under two pow^rfol burners, and most of the time their heads art* not more than two or threi* feet from the flame. Tlie artificial heat dries out the hair, hiakes it brittle and unhealthy, and finally kiil- it at'the TiH>t. If you will pa?s your hand through youV liair after yoi» have ■been standing under n gaslight for a few moment*, you will sot) at once Jiow it is. Although you may uot have noticed tile heat on your head, your hair, if youv'e got any, will be hot to the roots. You'll lie surprised to observe, too, at what a distance from fhe light: the hair will absorb fhe heat. Now, there is nothing st• bad for the blif tl getting it dry. That is why the’ use of water on it is s-> iujiirioii- lteeaU'e it evaporso readily and takes with it iho natural oil of the h?iir. ^ Your hair should 1** moist all tho time, and with the oil that is secreted by the little cells at tin* inotj. Wlien the oil is continually and rapidly dried out, as it is when the ht-ntl is kept heated by gaslight, the cell dries up and the hair falls out. People who sit under the gaslight should wear some kind of a coot, non-conducting headgear to protect themselves. I have an idea. bio-, that after the electric light has been in universal u-e for a generation or two, baldness will be as scares* as it was before gaslight and night work got common together. —Vhintgo Tribune.

Ttar recuUar l'rmw of Taanlnr KmplojrHI In It* Mnnnrnrtt nr A contemporary give* an account of the immx-'* of tanning employed iu Riisoin for tin- fahrieal ion of soft leather, ^lluo pron-s consists of fire operations —unhairing, stretching, softening, tanning and currying. To effect tin* unhairing. eight buckets of wood ashes and one of lime art? thrown into a pit, which is then filled two-thirds with water. The skins remain in the pit for ten days, and are then taken, out. while four buckets of wood ashes and half a one of lime are put into the Ihptur. to which the hides are again returned for eleven days. The hides thus prepared are unhaired with a blunt k^ifc of thirty centimeters in length: they are again put into the pit to swell them. After a ; further stay of two days in running water they are stretched and pulled in water: these ojiorations are repeated until the leather is white and very supple. Afterward comes the softening, which is done in a vat or pit containing water at twenty degrees, and oatmeal reduces} to flour. Then comes the tanning: The hide* are covered op the hairy side (called the flour) with an evenly spread layer of tan. finely cut, and plunged into vat full of water/ This first operation lasts from fifteen to twenty days. In the seeoud operation the flesh side is covered with a layer of tan. while in the first operation dry tan Is employed, so that the powder may deposit itself on the surface of the leather; so as to cover it in. The secomf fresh tau is fiscal to avoid the loss which the powder produces. In the third operation, aud also the fourth, it is the flesh side which receives the coating of tan. Each time the leather remains in the vat for fifteen or twenty days, so that the tanning process occupies about two months aud four days. After tanning comes the | cnrrving. From the same skin are ! made black aud white leather. In both cases the leather, after being tanued. is smeared with tar and seat fs.t. The hide is then takcu tothe dry-ing-room. The black lent bar is colored i before being greased.

When the man had been helped up, and after his nose had been bathed, he turned to the fellow who had struck him and said: “Jenkins, what in thunder did you hit me fori I have never done you any harm.’1 “I know that.
