NO NEGROES IN HEAVEN.
NEGHOES NOT ADAPTED TO TICK SOCIAL
AND CIVIL LAWS OV THE WHITE
MAS.
This U the age of books Rood, wise,
unwise books bonks tlint the face of
type should have blushed to print, and
others which are worthy of pearl and
diamond.
A remarkable volume by '-Caucasian"
line appeared at Richmond this week.
W have not seen it, but our contempo
rary of the State says that ''Caucasian" is
a stfonj;, if not philosophical writer.
There are 334 papain the volume and
the writer boldly proclaims that there is
no heaveu for the negro.
The theory or argument of this Kuight
with his viser down is that the Bible
deals ooly with the Ad.iinic race, and
that inferior races are excluded from the
convenant of grace.
Ho accounts for the prehistoric race
in this way. Me says Adam was a civil
ized man and his race always the repre
sentative of civilization, lie holds that
it is the divine will that race purity
should be preserved and speaks of the
''absence of uasal spine" and other pecu
liarities of the iiesiro skull.
Theheudiug of one of the last chap
ters is thus: ''The Negro and his Re
lations to the White Race Evils of Mis
cegenation. Inferiority of Mongrels.
The Negro in the Southern States
Insisting upon the inferiority of the blocks
of ebony, this is said :
"The negro has a soul, but as he was
not subject to the Christian dispensation,
his future destiny will nut be determined
by his condition. God has not revealed
howhewilldispo.se of him ut death.
There is no reason to believe that he will
be lost, in a thbological sense; but, if
responsible, he will be judged according
to his capacities, opportunities and con
duct, lie may be in proximity to the
Eternal world. Who can say that the
taitbtul slave will not there meet his
master? Who can nay that the faithful
dog, as other animals he loveii in this lite,
will Dot be with him in the spirit world ?
But there will be uo more equality in the
world to come than in the preseDt."
1 nere u great diversity ot opinion as
to the capabilities and destiny of the
African race in a political and aocial
sense, and we are disposed to think that
if the problems regarding the elephant
are properly solved in respect to time, the
questiou ofhU relations to eternity may
well and wisely be left foi the decision of
the King of Kings. Speculation be
comes dangerous to the best interests of
the world when it invades the veiled do
main of Heaven. Norfolk Virgioiau.

BABY CLEVELAND.
"KEEP OFF THE OttASS CLEVELAND
COLORS FLOATING IIHII1 IN WASHING
TON. '
The birth of the Cleveland baby is the
constant theme of social talk in Washing
ton. Perhaps no lady ever entered the
White House as its mistress who was
more beautiful than Mrs. Cleveland. In
this beautiful city a lovely woman is a
novelty, and so Mr. Cleveland's young
wile captured the hearts cf the populace
as soon us she became known.
It is related that Mrs. Cleveland was
anxious for the first baby to be a boy,
and Mr. Cleveland was so biased the same
way that when Dr. Bryant, the family
physician, slapped him on the back, and
informed him that he was the father of a
little girl, Orover shrugged his mighty
boulders, and exclaimed, "Oh, pshaw !"
Everybody seems to agreo that the
baby is a miniature of the mother, al
though one mother in Israel thought that
Bhe saw a resemblance to Crover about
the top of the infant's head.
Every Washington Democrat who had
a flag in the house hung it out the day
after the baby was boru. Away west in
the fashionable quarter, where tho big
officials and the enormously rich people
ive, the national colors were not very
conspicuous, but in all ot tuc down town
districts, and up over Capitol Hill and out
n old Georgetown where the Southern
element is very strong, ten thousand little
burners fluttered gaily in the crisp Octo
ber air.
Nor was this all. A precocious Demo
cratic lad climbed up on the big stone
posts that guard each side of the main
entrance of tho White House, and planted
liaby Cleveland's colors there. Later in
the day some wag wrote a legend on the
gateway that ran thus : "Baby McKee
to Baby Cleveland Keep off the grass."
SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
DR. J. J. SULLIVAN PUBLISHES A VEUY
SUC.UESTIVE ARTICLE IN THE NEW
YORK NEWS, IN WHICH HE ATTRI
BUTES MANY ILLS TO THIS UNNAT
UKAL II ABIT OF BREATHING THROUGH
THE MOUTH.
The mouth of man is intended for the
purpose of receiving and masticating
food, and the nostrils for the purpose of
purifying and warming the air io its pas
sage into the lungs, without which purl
fying process the atmosphere, charged
as it is with poisonous germs, would not
be capable of supporting life for any
length of time. It is a well known fact
that man can inhale with impunity,
through his nose, poisonous air at th
bottom nf a well, but as soon as he opens
his mouth to speak or cry out, his lungs
are immediately choked, and he becomes
asphyxiated.
The air io its passage through the
nostrils, is heated to the temperature of
tbe body before it reaches the lungs,
while inhalation of cold air through tbe
mouth, charged as it is with irritants
and poisonous uerms, produces congestion
and iiiflimmutiou of the delicate lining
of the throat and lungs, giving riso
catarrh, quinsy, bronchitis and coosutnp
tiou.
At night, particularly, when the torn
pcraiuru is nutue uegreca cuIJcf tuuii by
day, and the air more irritnting and
poisonous, does (he mouth breather feel
its pernicious effects. He awakes in the
morning more fatigued than when ho re
tired to rest at uight. That man dues
not know the pleasure of sleep. This
sleep irritates the ttomach as well as the
lungs and the nervous system, and under
such cireircunifitanct'S, there can be
perfect rest secured for tho mind or body
To sleep with head thrown back, or the
ebiu extended is sure to cause dropping
of tho under jaw and produce mouth
breathing'. Mothers should be specially
careful that their young children lie
such position while sleeping as not to iu
duce Hroppins of the under jaw, or open
mg ot the mouth, tor the halm is gener
ally acquired while young.
ONE DOLLAR EACH.
MMENSE DROVES OF HORSES IN QUEENS
LAND WHICH HAVE BECOME A SERI
OUS NUISANCE.
No one can buy a horse about Wash
ington which is fit for any purpose for
less than 8100. A broken down car
orse is worth nearly this amount. A
orse for a grocer's cart in New York
Chicago or San Francisco will cost from
$150 to $200. In Queensland, Austra-
ia, however, tho horse market is away
down. A sound, well-broken animal
can be bought for $5. Farmers in the
iutcrior cannot afford to send horses to
Brisbane for sale, because ordinary stock
will not bring more than $1.75 per head.
They shoot them instead! And what is
till more startling, they pay at tho rate
fC2 cents per head for haviug them
shot!
All of these statements are strictly
correct. Iho colony of Queensland is
uow seriously discussing the advisability
of passing a law imposing a tax on all
stallions and authorizing the appointment
of inspectors to see that all unlicensed
animals are killed. All over Queensland
they are going to keep down horses as we
eep dowu the superabundance of dogs
in the city of Washington. The same
state of affairs holds in some of the other
Australian colonies.
Horse breeding in Australia was for
many years a remunerative business.
A great demand was created by the takin
up and occupying ot new country, trom
the opening of new gold Gelds and for the
prosecution of the sugar industry. Ev
ery one who landed began breeding horses
Now the demaud has awscd, th" sugtr
industry is declining, the '"itiiogi. station
ary and the owners of what was formerly
new country are sellers instead of buyers.
The consequence is that the whole coun
try is ovcrruu with unsalable horses,
They cannot be eaten like sheep and
cattle, and a boiling down factory for the
manufacture of glue and other products
failed after consuming 00,000 animals.
Now, in a semi-wild state, they over
run the entire interior of the colony.
I he best ot them bring at auction not
more than $13 or ill a dozen. New
South Wales property holders have re
lieved themselves of the burden on their
grazing lands by shooting them. On the
Barwon liver within two years' between
60,000 and 70,000 head were destroyed
at a cost to their nominal owners of 25 (id
per head. Queensland has now the same
trouble to fight. A law entitled "The
Marsupials Destruction Act" is now in
force, directed against tbe kangaroo, to
check the increase of these noxious aoi
mats. But a kangaroo skin is worth
83 75 in the open market at Brisbane
How much more need is there, then, of
a horse destruction act, when horses are
larger, eat more, are more numerous than
kangaroos, and are nearly worthless!
This is the question which is agitating
the property holders ot Queensland at the
present time, as is learned from the re
cent bulletins of the department of agri
culture of that colony. Will it pay Aus
tralians to ship these horses to the
United States? The passage to San
Francisco will take twenty drys. The
facibc ocean at certain times u always
smooth. One of the Australian steam'
ships will probably carry from 700 to
1,000 horses a trip. I be import duty
on horses and mules at present is $30 a

THE OLD SLAVE DAYS.
NAT TURNERS WAR EXCITEMENT
OVER RUMORS OF INSURRECTION IN
NORTH CAROLINA.
The celebrated indirection of slaves
in Virginia in 1831, headed by "Old Nat
Turner," was followed by iutenso excite
ment in North Carolina. During the first
week in September a slave of Thomas K.
Morrisscy, of Sampson county, was ar
rested, and confessed that the slaves had
laid a plot to muster what forces they
could in Sampson, and march on to Wil
mington, where they expected ailditions
to their numbers. Rumors of this
threatened invasion readied Wilmington,
and caused great excitement. The citi
zens turned out, companies were formed,
all things were put in readiness, and in
less tnan two hours two hundred men
were under arms. Troops took poises
sion of the ro-ids leading to the city; couri
ers were coming and going; captains and
colonels were monarchs of all. In Burke
and Rutherford counties, North Carolina
rumors were rife that the slaves working
in the L'old mines were or:anizin"
Many arrests were made, and a plot was
discovered. In Richmond county some
twenty were imprisoned, and iron spears
for carrying on their fiendish purpose are
said to have been found.
Raleigh was in alarm. News had
reached there that Wilmington was in
the hands of the blacks, and had
been burned. A man from Johnston
county ran his horse to death to ask tbe
people of Raleigh for aid. Every negro
in tbe place was taken up, and his means
of subsistence were inquired into; if be
could give no satisfactory account of him
self he was thrown prison, or ordered to
leave the town at once. The able-bodied
men were organized into four companies,
to patrol the streets nightly by turns.
The old meu organizing the Silver Grays.
The fortress was the Presbyterian Church,
It was agreed that when the bell of the
capitol rang out the women and the chil
dren should hasten there for protection
They watched and waited in anxious fear
Oue night O'Rouke's blacksmith shop
took fire; the capitol bell rang out its
shrill peal of alarm. It was heard from
one end of the town to the other. The
slumbering city was transformed into a
terror stricken multitude; the last day
and the inevitable time had come; Nat
Turner and his followers were upon
them, for this was the signal agreed upon,
Negroes were more terrified than their
masters; tbey tied under houses, bid in
shrubbery, lay down between corn rows
anything to escape destruction. Tbe
women, with hair dishevelled and in
night clothes, fled through the streets
with ever increasing speed, for their place
of refuge. It was a matter of life and
death to them, and heartfelt were the
thanks for deliverance when the true
cause of the alarm was known.
Nat Turner's insurrection caused the
State of Virginia to be armed. The leg
islature passed stringent laws against
slaves, free negroes and inulatoes, forbade
their meeting, punished them for words,
proscribed their instiuction and arrested
their preachers. In North Carolina no
slave was allowed to employ his time as
a freeman, no negroes were to preach, to
hawk or to peddle without a license, nor
to own or to make use of a deadly weap
on, The. patrolling system became more
exacting, masters became more suspicious
and insisted on greater subordination
There was a reaction against the doctrine
of emancipation, which was then gaining
ground, and nothing whatever was se
cured by the outbreak- S. B. Weeks, in

BROWN'S IRON BITTERS
HE HAD A FEW CIRLS.
AND THEREFORE HAD TO MAKE
1158
VISITS A WEEK.
An Oriental dispatch casually ircn-
tions the fact that the King of Annum
has at present 579 wives. This leads an
analytical Jacques of the Minneapolis
Tribune to moralize as follows :
Consider for a moment what this state
ment entails. Glancing back a few years
io the life of the King it is cvideut that
at one time, not long past, Anoam's
ruler must have bad 579 sweethearts. If
he had visited each one a whole evening
it would have becu impossible to have
e through the list in a year. Now,
no self-respecting girl will be satisfied
with a lover who calls once a year. Twice

twice a week. That would be 1,158
visits a week, or counting Sundays, 105
visits a night. To any one who knows
how hard it is to tear himself away from
the front gate under the circumstances in
which Annam must have found himself,
the terrible wear on the King's constitu
tion is evident at a glance. Besides keep
ing on the jump to cover tbe 1G5 assign
ments there were on each evening 105
cases of mental anguish occasioned by
the "tearinj' himselfaway" process.
THE MITLTIPE "AMOS" OF ANNAM.
Suppose, next, that Annam said to each
;iri : "i love you, dearest, lou arc
the loveliest woman in the world." Sup
pose, if you can, that he said this only,
mi . . i i it
i i.at is twelve words tor each woman,
1,980 words each evening. That is over
a column and a half of minion type, such
as this paper is printed in.
Again, if each of the 579 papas kept
bulldogs, ac all self respecting papas arc
supposed by tbe newspaper paragraphers
to do, there were 165 bulldogs per night
to be guarded against.
But the worst is not yet. Annam has
lit 'J mothers-in-law. i,very spring he
has, instead of one, 879 bills for Easter
bonnets; every winter he has 579 bills for
sealskin sacques. Multiply your house
hold expenses by 579 and you will under
stand the quality of the soup Annam's
ruler has dropped inio.
Compared with this who who will say
that the life of the young married citizen
of the free Republic of North America is
not a happy one? Is the King of Annam
579 times happier than you are?
