Seeing Without Eyes. '
' Ejes arc popularly considered to be
cuitu necessary to eight, but this Is an
error, if we are to believe Dr Nagel, a
rerent German experimenter. Many
crcoture3 without eyes can see; at
least, they can distinguish between
light and darkness and even between
different degrees of light. This is the
low est degree of seeing, to be sure, but
pcill, it is really sight, and differs
scarcely more from the vision of some
insects that possess eye3 than this
doc3 from our own clear sight.
Creatures that see without eyes Bee
by mtan3 of their skins. All skins,
eicya Sr. Nagel, are potential eyes;
that is, they are sensitive to light. In
animals that have eye3 the sensitiveness
has been highly localized and greatly
Inn rased so that man, for instance,
hus a retina very sensitive to light,
and an expanse cf ordinary skin which
possesses a sensitiveness to light so
slight that it is hardly conscious of it.
Yet hi3 skin is sensitive in some de
giccF, us is proved by the fact that it
evrLurns that is, light may cause a
disturbance in the pigment of the skin
jt-t as it docs in that of the eye. In
the eye the disturbance is accompan
ied hy a nervous change, which sends
a tekmphic message along the optic
nerve to the brain. In the skin, too,
there are nerves, and there are mes
sr.ge, also, but their tidings imprint
no image on the mind; they simply
express discomfort cry out "sun
burn." Hut in many eyeless creatures
there has been noticed an increased
fcensitiveness of the whole skin sur
face to light. Darwin long ago no
tk4 that earth worms, although they
have no eyes, will suddenly withdraw
into their holes at the approach of a
lighted candle. Some creatures seem
more Een:-:itivc to sudden increase of
light, others to sadden diminution.

The hair is like a plant. Vhat makes the
plant fade and wither? Usually lack of neces
sary nourishment. The reason why Ayer's Hair
Vigor restores gray or faded hair to its normal
color, stops hair from ' falling, and makes ' it
grow, is because it supplies the nourishment the
hair needs.

works and concert, there was held
the closing meeting in the auditorium,
which was packed, main floor and gal
leries. It was the love feast held in
commemoration of the closing hours of
the exposition, in which all tho people
of Tennessee evinced the greatest and
most loyal pride. Numerous addresses
were delivered, sixteen guns were fired,
and then with the Doxology, in which
the audience joined in singing, the ex
position was declared closed.
COTTON 31 ILL STRIKE.
It Will Affect 200,000 People and
Will Almost liuin the Industry.
The London, Eng., Tall Mall Ga

strike of cotton operatives throughout
Xorth England, says the lockout will
effect two hundred thousand people,
adding that the strike will probably las'c
for months. It will entail a loss of
seventy million pounds, and means the
ruin of the cotton industry, that paper

have not succeeded in making him
ridiculous in tho eyes of the world, as
they expected to, but they have caused
him the greatest ' embarrassment and

TRIBUTE TO A COLORED MAN,
The Duty of Every Negro Economy
Is No Disgrace-Does Untold Injury
to the Race.
Dr. J. Albert Thorns, a Dative of
Barbadoes, and a graduate of the Edin
burg, Scotland, Medical College, who
is now on a visit to Dr. McKinley, in
New York, is endeavoring to secure a
home for the black man 'in his native
country, Africa. He believes in colo
nizing them in that part of Africa where
they can live and prosper. To a New
York World reporter he outlined his
plan as follows:
"My idea is that the black race in
America should gradually return to
that part cf Africa whence it came. We
have no future here or in the West In
dies, fromNvhich I have come. Without
mentioning our social disabilities,
which are mere incouveniences, e very
avenue of trade or commerce is closed
to us. We are unable to engage in any
menial or laborious occupations, aud
are forcibly crowded out even of them
by any degraded farmer who may land
here. Since w e have no chance on the
American Continent it is my plan to
start a general exodus to Southeastern
Africa. There on the lands just north
of the Zambesi Hiver is the future home
of our race. The country is called the
British East African Protectorate, and
is ruled by Sir II. II. Johnson, tho
great African explorer and administra
tor. "It contains millions of acres, which
the Governor h:is promised me will bo
partitioned among us. Evt ry sett!cr of
good character who will cultivate thirty
acre3 during two years will be given u
freehold of that amount of land, 'lhe
country is a beautiful high plateau just
south of the equator. Every tropical
fruit and every temperate cereal will
grow there.
"For our purpose the best feature of
the country is its climate. White peo
ple are liable to intermittent lever, but
colored immigrants are totally unaffect
ed. It would bo utterly impossible for
a white race to live iu the country,
whose climate resembles that of India,
where white people may re-dde, but are
unable to briug up children. It will
be a black man's couutrj'. No other
race will be able to step in and reap the
fruits of our labors as has been done so
many times before.
"vVhenlspeak of a general exodus
do not think that I wish the whole col
ored race to arise together and attempt
to start the colony. The work should
be done by degrees, and a small begin
ning is necessary. 1 have raised about
3:VK) in England for prelimiuai-- wvrk,
and will start for Africa in a few mouths.
Alnny of the most prominent colored
1 seo pie in the country have expressed
their approval of my project, and I have
been overrun by applications from men
of all classes ho wish to go.
"lhe lirst company will start with
me, and will number about ten men.
Vrrived in Africa we bhall begin to cul
tivate the lands, build house and mako
the nucleus cf a settlement. As fast as
ive are able tosupjort more people we
shall send to America for the next Rp
plicauts on the list. What with hard
work and the boundless fertility of the
tropics, our colouy will increase in per
fect arithmetical progression. In a few
years thousands of poor discontented
Afro-Americans will be taking ship for
the new Canaan, and the United States
will faster and faster be emptied of their
negro population. Perhaps then some
of the people who now cry loudest
against the negro will heartily wi.-di him
back."
The Nashville (Tenn. ) American,
staunch Demociatic paper, savs: "J
C. Napier, the well-known colored at
torney of this cit', is a candidate for
the oflice of register of tho treasury,
lie is one of the four candidates for t he
place, all of whom aro Negroes. The
American has no i art in a light of this
kind, but since it is understood that the
office is to be iilled by a Negro Kepnb-
! lican, it has no hesitancy in saying a
good word for tho home candidate.
Napier is a man of excellent private
character and has always conducted
himr;elf so as to merit the respect of
the people of Nashville. He has both
education and native intelligence, and
there is no question of his ability to
discharge the duties of the oliice. "
And now behold! here comes to the
news from South Carolina that NY. S.
Mouteith, of Columbia, with the lead
ing colored citizens of that city, has
formulated pluus, nnd has the work
well on the way, whereby a cotton mill
with 10,000 spindles and "0 looms is to
be erected there, iu which all of its
laborers will be colored boys and girls.
The capital stock is 100,01)0, and
among the stockholders are to be found
some of the best cithe s of South Caro
lina. Hurrah for tho South Carolina
Negroes; will other Southern States fall
in line?
. .
Tho colored merchants of Charlotte,
N. C, ten in number, aro doing good
business, and the future seems bright
for them. They have organized them
selves into a Merchant i' Union, which
will bo very helpful in solidifying their
efforts for the betterment of their work.
This lesson the Negro is n:owly but
surely learning; that his well-being as
a raco depends upon a united ettbrt
upon all lines. God Kpced tho day
when we can become united upon every
trood cause.
It is tho duty of every Negro to learn
the art of building up our raco ent3r
prises, and to forget some of the innate
tendency to always tear down. When
ever there is an enterprise started by
the race, we should do all we can to
build it up, talk it up, writo it up and
support it up. Every one that goes up
carries us up a notch or so, and every
one that falls pulls us back. The Stan
dard. Edward L. Carter, the only colored
pressman in the government printing
office, Washington, D. C, has beeu
admitted to membership in the local
Prcpsman's union. Tho Freeman.
Colored coal miners have been im
ported from Chicago to Clinton, Ind.,
to work in the mines, and the white
miners are greatly escited over it. The
superintendent of the mines says that
the colored men are jrlst as expert with
thetaachinery as the whites, and they
are more tractable, and he is going te
em ploy all he can use. The Standard.
The tendency of a good many of our
j'oung people to have a good time at
any cost is a source of discouragement.
Life has something nobler in view than
the spending of your best days in that
. kind of pleasure that ruins in the end.

SOUTH CAROLINA AHEAD.
The Bright Manufacturing Outlook In
tho South.
The Washington Post saya: Mr. Sam
uel C Martin, a prominent cotton mer
chant of South Carolina was in tho city
recently and stopped at the Metropoli
tan. Mr. "Martin is enthusiastic oyer
the manufacturing outlook in the
South. When seen by a Post reporter
he faid:
"The State of South Carolina tops
all the States of the South in the cot
ton manufacturing industry. There
are more Bpindies in this State in oper
ation this year than iu any of the
others. North Carolina stands second
in tho list while Georgia runs third.
South Carolina has 5-4 mills running
today, operating in all nearly 1,000,000
spindles, and consuming yearly 113,
707,042 pounds of cotton. South Caro
lina's cotton crop this year will be, in
round numbers, 800,000 bales, of which
the home mills will consume 327,043
ba'es, or about 40 per cent, of the en
tire crop. North Carolina has 150 mills
at present, but the number of spindles
is not so large as South Carolina's.
"Very few people have any idea of
the enormous business done in tha
South in this particular industry. This
year it is estimated that there are 375
nidls in operation in the Southern
States, having 3,197,545 spindles and
using nearly 431,000,000 pounds of
cotton. That the industry is not yet
full grown is apparent from the fact
thrt last year there were but 352 mills,
operating 2,770,282 spmdltB. And
there are many more mills in course of
erection.
TIIE COTTON MANUFACTURERS.
Southern Looms Will Re Engaged
Ahead and New England Blills Must
Teke What Is Left.
At the sixty-third semi-annual meet
ing of the New England Cotton Manu
facturers' Association, in session at
Philrdelphia, Pa., Arthur Parkinson,
of P.ovidenco, E. I. , read a paper on
"Manufacture and Export of Cotton
Goods." Mr. Parkinson said in part:
"It is well known that Southern manu
facturers with the present conditions,
can undersell or compete easily with
tho Eastern mills on medium nd
rourso fabrics, and the future looks
dark for New England. The facilities
of manufacturing have been so
increased in many lines of goods that
the existing manufacturing establish
ments can produce a vast amount more
than tho United States can consume,
and it seems likely that each year will
cause stagnation for the industry, and
of course tho usual stoppages of mills
during certain periods. As a result of
this continued competition in certain
luies of goods for the home market, the
prices are low. wages aro low and tariff
legislation cannot help matters, for the
merchant and jobber will buy in tho
cheapest market, and that means South
ern looms will bo engaged ahead and
the New England mills must take what
is left."
NAVAL. AltMOU HOARD.
Tht) Southern Trip Ended, But tho
Report Will Not be Made Known.
Tho naval armor board has returned
to Washington from its trip South.
Tho board visited ia tho order named,
Birmingham, Ala. ;Seffield. Ala. ; Nash
ville, Chattanooga and Knoxville, in
Tennessee; Bristol, in Virginia, and
Morristown, Tenn. The net result of
tho trip is a mass of statistical informa
tion exhibiting the varied resources of
tho Southern localities ns the site for
tho armor plant, if the government
should determiuo to build one.
This information will not be printed,
and the report of the board will be
held subject to demand from Congress,
in caso that body decides to embark
upon the task of selecting a site for a
plant.
Mr. Fritz, tho expert who was en
gaged to develop the details of the
plant, in conformity with the request of
Congress, is working fifteen hours a
day with six draftsmen and expects to
turn his work complete over to the
board by December.

TRUE BILLS FOUND.
Martin and His Deputies Will be Tried
for t!ic Murder of the Miners.
At Wilkesbarre, Pa., the grand jury
returned a true bill against Sheriff Alar
tin and his deputies for tho Lattimer
shooting. The truo bill included nine
teen for murder, ouo for each man
killed, and one for the victims consid
ered collectively. Thirty-six true bills
wore found in the samo way for felon

fendants.-, lhe likelihood is that Mar
tin and his deputies will elect to bo
tried together.
Colorado Strikers Win.
