Not more startling than the rapidity with which all this has been accomplished is the change of public sentiment on this point, until the civilized world is to-day well nigh unanimously of the opinion that slavery is an evil bringing weekness and decay, instead of strength and wealth.

Everything ated, Cuba and Brazil, are on tne rapid road to iniancipatiou; and long before the present century goes out, slavery will have ceased to exist save iu the barbarous regions of Africa and Asia. A half century ago it prevailed from the St. Lawrence almost to Terra del Fuego. In the United States there were many million slaves; Mexico prohibited it in word, but encouraged its substitute, peonage.

Through the West Indies the population was two-third slaves to one-third freemen, while in the southern hemisphere the great empire of Brazil deemed slavery one of the ioundation stones of the government. Across the water, half the population of the greatest power of Europe were serfs bound to the soil. In the Danubian provinces also serfdom prevailed; wl.ile in other portions of Hnrop tbe peasants, if free in name were bondsmen in point ol' fact. Within tbe limits of the civilized world one-ninth the entire population were held in bondage, and more than one-quarter in Armenia were absolute slaves. How rapid have been the strides toward the abolition of 'slavery are well seen in the fact that it was not till 1808 that the slave trade was stopped.

In 1832 England struck slavery a severe blow by freeing the West India negroes; but it was in the year 1863 that the greatest advancement was made. The emancipation proclamation of Lincoln in January, 1803 freed 5,000,000 negroes in this country, while two months later, the imperial ukase of of the Czar Alexander, set 44,500,000 Russian serfs at liberty. Since then the progress toward the abolition of slavery has been rapid. Brazil and Cuba both adopted a system of gradual emancipation that would prevent the evils resulting in Jamacia and this country from too great precip-itancy in this matter. A few week's ago the Brazilian government, finding that its law on this subject was too slow and not sufficiently effective, changed it, and a new system was put into operation that will free all the negroes of the empire within a very few years.

In the Spanish Cortez, Wednesday, a resolution was unanimously adopted that the government should free, as soon as possible the remaining 2.1,000 slaves in Cuba, whereupon the Ire8ident congratulated the members on thia "crowning of the glorious work of the abolition of A.

the final invention is not bit on. There are no less than five companies in New Oi leans, each with a patent and a machine for preparing ramie. Among these, we may safely hope that there is one which will accomplish its purpose, or at least suggest the needed improvement to perfect it. Some complain that the cultivation of the ramie bas not yet taken root here, and that the farmers Beem unwilling to try it. As a matter of fact, both in this state and Alabama, several planters have, as an experiment, tried ramie and proved that it thrives here.

When the several companies which exist shall fully begin operations, then there is no longer any doubt of a market for ramie, there will be little cause for complaint. The planters are only too anxions to introduce this new style; and Louisiana will grow all the ramie that is wanted. Profile Run, 3jskiv Block.
