On Thursday night Mrs. 1 Chapin lectured in the 7th street Prcsby- I tcrian church to a large audience. The address was finely delivered, timely, en tertaining, instructive and all that could be asked for. It had a telling effect. Great good is being done by the Union, and we wish them Godspeed.

Charlotte has two literary social 1 societies—the Winnona and the Oriole. The AA r innona is the older of the two and was organized about two years ago. The Oriole was organized less than a ■ year ago and we learn is doing well. , Each of them hasi" 1 -e"' l incmbrrshii' js I Ilicsc societies y uartv- toil have slid - y°ur tather « faith, from your early ; goo.l habits.

The colored men of Mecklenburg seem to be sleeping upon the question of their i forward personal and political rights. A few weeks ago there was a great cry raised against the prohibitionists because it was alleged by many that the rights of the people were about to be invaded. Yet we sec at every court held in Mecklenburg g county colored men convicted by a f white jury. It would be a curiosity ' well worth walking a long way to see a t colored man on the jury. We have a j lot of so-called leading colored men in j« Charlotte; they are great at conventions, J great to make speeches, great on resolu- { tions. Yet they sit still on their marrow ( bones and let their colored fellow citizens i be convicted without a word of protest, j Now here is the Mecklenburg county , penitentiary placed in a few hundred t yards of a large college for colored peo j pie. There is one poor fellow in there | for taking a few cars of corn; been there , a long time I suppose, lam told that t they whip the convicts over there just j like they used to in the old days. Does any one see after these tilings? not much. | Now as to the men who attend to the j drawing of the jury./ There is Mr. Vail, ] chairman>of commissioners for the county, ! why don’t he see that colored men are placed on the jury? No wonder his prohibition party got left so badly in the city; no wonder lie got left last year for Mayor, and his whole history will be full of lefts, till he uses his power to see that j the colored people have some show in i the courts. As for Mr. Griffith, he is a candidate j for Sheriff. Os course, no eoiored man | will vote for him even if he is nominated. He must show in his make-up that he means for the colored people to have some justice. Os all the patient people in the world, a people who will allow the court and law to do as they please w ithout a word of protest, commend me to some of our so-called leaders. Yours, etc., AV. R.

Folks. Information for Children. » It will be a surprise to any parents who I have not tried the experiment to tee how deeply interested even very little chil dren may become in the news of the day if told to them in lnnguage tntireiy within their comprehension. In the mass of information contained in any issue of a daily paper may be found at least two or three items of interest to children, if only suitably presented. A fsthcr or mother who will make a point of thus | translating, once a dav, a few “true | stories” from this source will not only be sure of having an interested audience but will find himself or herself charmed with seeing bow the little mind delights in attempts to reach out into a wider world than that of the nnrsrrv. Kven a single incident, properly explained and elaborated, will often make a text fora sufficiently lengthy entertainment, and the newspaper will thus fuinish a daily solution of the ever present problem of finding "some new child's story." It is needless to say that the selections must be judiciously made, and of course must include nothing likely to leave an un pleasant impression. Biilyhood.

Los Angeles t is the centre of a large number of colonies, t all of which have made great progress, • while the last few years have seen imita- t tions of these started on several other counties with equally good results. The j colony system has manifest advantages } in a country where water for irrigation is , indispensable. No man, unaided unless t he be a large capitalist, can develop a water supply sufficient even for a small ranch. The principle of co-operation holds good here and has been adopted ( by all these colonies. Without water the ' land in most of the southern counties is worthless save for the growing of grain; with water it will produce beautiful crops, and the fruits of the tropical and flourish equally well. I Hence, icmiisite for the success of any colony is a full supply of water,* Given this, with fairly good land, and it* is the fault of the managers if a colony iocs not thrive like a green bay tree. Perhaps the oldest colony in Southern California is Anaheim, about twenty-live miles from Los Angeles. It was started on the co-operative plan by Germans nearly thirty years ego. Nothing could be more forbidding than the stretch of Dactus-covered country which they se ! iected and oblained fora small sum, be ! cause the owners of the ranch supposed I that it was the poorest land on the place. | Lven the cattle gave this tract a wide | berth, an l in the estimation of men who held the land as valuable only for the growing of grain or the grazing of cattle it was us ill adapted for the making of homes as a slice of the Colorado or Mo jave desert. But these German colonists were not frightened by the cactus grow ing in great clumps on the sandy soil, nor by the doleful predictions of failure which they heard on every side. They parceled out the twenty acre plots by lot, uud each man set to work to develop his domain. They were mainly men who had been bred to wine making, and they naturally chose the grape as tlieir chief reliance. The y ars brought many changes. Other colonies started in what was originally regarded ns little better than a desert; the railroad came to them; about one-half of the originalsettle^ o o,l' 1 dreis, and was coverc 1 with silver and penrl embroidery inside and out, the col lar being edged wilh rows of enormous pearls. Three large diauoud pins fastened the mnatle. The tiara and neeklaro were of diamonds of rare size and beauty'. The gloves were of white kid reaching to the shoulder,and were painted wilh the arma of Portugal.

It would go far to remove the air of artificiality which pervades the colony and which makes one homesick for green grass and a bit of the wildness of unassisted nature. Land in Riverside, as in most of these southern colonies, has reached an extra ordinary price. ' The enthusiasts in orange growing and raisin making are prepared to demonstrate that it pays to buy improved land in bearing oranges or grapes at SI,OOO per acre. Certaiuly nu merous sale) have been made at this and the purchasers have thus far realized good returns for their invest ments. As there is no prospect of a glut in the orange market so long as the heavy shipments to the cast continue, and as the main industry is simply in its in fancy and capable of unlimited develop ment, there seems no good reason to doubt that five years from now a grove or vineyard will b 2 any less remunerative than at present. —San Francisco Chron icls. Sevauteca Men Killed by aa Elephant. A terrible elephant etory comes from India. AVhile an elephant was being rid den by its keeper in the district of Sul tanpore, in Oude, the animal resented prodding with aspesr by pulling the men from his back and throwing him some d rt£2C? away. Fortunately the man fell in a hollow,-M> d , rf ™ ai " ed ‘ hcre dh ' covered by the eii^frAl’*.,^ 0 -- we . n * to _ * neighboring village. > There he chased an old man into a j house, then broke down tho walls, pulled the man out, and dashed him to pieces. The same night the elephant knocked down several houses in quest of human beings in the villages of Sadarpttr, Bar gaon, and Jaisingpur. Ho killed six men in Bcrsoma, three in Sota, four in Gangeo, and four in Maddan. He like* wise killed a bullock and a pony, and also completely destroyed anew carriage. The animal used to stand at the door of a house, force his entry by demolishing the walls on either side, and would then kill as many of the inmates as he could, pursuing others who tried to run away. He mangled the corpse? terribly. After securing a victim he sometimes returned to the spot to see if life was extinct, and would commence mutilating the body afresh. He carried several bodies long distances and threw them into ravines, etc. The elephant found his way to the Dehra Fajah’s place, where he tried to enter the house of agardtner; but some men, mounted on three ele phants, assisted by spearmen, drove him off. He then returned to Bebipur, where yst&sftl)*#' -p I - - . - .

Worth $1,000,000, and a Great Traveler—A Strong Fancy for Dolls— Her Wardrobe. A recent issue of the Philadelphia Times says: There is now staying at the Beach House, Sea Girt, N. J., with her mother, Mrs. Sharpsteen, formerly of Philadelphia, the daughter of Mr. Abbott, a retired merchant, a lit tle girl, five years old, who has crossed the ocean seven times, seen every European and American waterinjf place of note, and i 9 worth $1,000,000 in her own right. What is more, she is. a beauty, is brim full of brightness and in telligence, and should she grow up to # womanhood must make a noise in the great world of fashion and society, where beauty and wealth, when com bined in a woman, exercise such tre mendous sway. May Sharpsteen, the little baby in question, possesses outside of these pecnliarities a personal history that is equally interesting. Her father was the Paris part ner of Arnold Constable & Co., the great New York dry goods concern, and when he died there a few years ago he left to this, his only child, his entire fortune. Her mother, who has a fortune f f her (iwn .rr "aids tli- A^tho I greater treasure* but for iju I one object of bringing up the little girl so that she may be able to adorn society and enjoy to the greatest extent the unusual opportunities that will be at her disposal. Having beenboin in Paris, and her father s death occurring soon after, Mrs. Sharpstcen brought the little girl with her across the ocean to Philadel phia, but alter traveling with her hero she has three times, within as many years, returned to Europe and visited ■ the German and French spas, the Span ish, Italian and other resorts and the mountains of Switzerland, each time taking the child with her. She is a fine little traveler and loves the changes, but at times has shown a delicacy of health * that, being very responsive to climate 1 influences, leads the mother to change l her quarters as soon as her daughter be -1 trays any indisposition. Accordingly, in 1 this country she has frequently gone l North in the summer and South in the } winter, so that it may be said there is ? probably not a mature person of extended ’ social experience anywhere.who has seen 1 so many of the gay watering places of 5 the world as this little maiden of five OAlnt t n has found HQ its combination of agrees with mmhP.f O v” 4iV Letter.
