Important lo"onr Colored Fellow
Citizeun." -
From the Detroit Iribun we take
tbe following rose-colored account of a
negro colony in the State of Michigan,
and commend it to the attention of the
negroes in Virginia and North Carolina
who want to "go off and do well.'
Perhaps "the league" might get a large
company of ngro emigrants to go to this
colony, and it would be both a practical
benefit and "political justice1 for Wells to
head the company and march back with'
(hero to his Michigan home. The Tribune
sayi:
A colony of over several thousand ne
groes own many thousands of acres of the
fairest land in Cass county. Michigan.
In the township of Calvin they are pos
sessed of nearly one half of the real estate,
and pay little less than half the taxes
They have established a number of ex
cellent schools, conducted by colored
teachers. The building of two fine chnrches
Methodist and Baptist-is proof that
they have not neglected moral and relig
ious culture. They have good instiuctors
in instrumental and vocal music, and
support a fine brass band. There are iev
eral men of liberal culture from Oberlin
and Hillsdale University. These young
men are encaged in the practice of
medicine, the mechanic arts sind inthe
dry goods trade. The negroes own and
run steam sawmills, and steam thresh
ing maenmes; they are manufacturing
grain cradles and rakes, growing superior
live stock, cultivating fruits, and produc
ing hundreds of acres of the finest grain.
They are not merely imitative people,
but ingenious, self-reliant, positive and
progressive, and will bear favorable com
parison with their white neighbors in all
the legitimate relations of life. Merchants
and mechanics through all this region
bear the highest testimony to their worth
and promptness in business affairs. During
a three weeks' visit in this part of the
country a correspondent has failed to des
tect the first instance of idleness or loaf
erism among them. They purchase lands
clear away dense forests, build homes and
highways and churches, subscribe for
newspapers, magazines and railroads;
educate their children, sing sweet songs
of labor, love and home; and worship God
with an evident consciousness that these
are as much the aims and purposes of
tbeir life as of their fair-haired Saxon
neighbors.
A Strange Homicide Through
Jeulousy
From the Yieksburg Miss Herald 20th.
Dr. Lott, of Oakland, Miss., killed
Captain F. D. Barnes, a young lawyer of
that place, on the 9th instant. As we get
the statement from the Grenada Sentinel,
it appears that Dr. Lott was addressing a
young lady of that place, and he had made
a confident of his love affair to his room
mate. Captain Barnes. Captain Barnes
remarked that he intended soon to seek
her acquaintance and call upon her, which
he did. The next evening afier his visit
to her. Dr. Lott called upon her and was
discarded This incensed him to a very
great extent, and he seemed to labor un
der the impression that Captain Barnes
had prejudiced her against him in some
manner The next day, therefore, arming
himself with a six shooter, he said to
Captain Barnes, "Have you not betrayed
my confidence? Answer me truly, for your
life depends upon it." Captain Barnes
attempted to explain, but before he could
do io Lott fired, the ball passing through
the heart of his victim, causing instant
death. Notwithstanding this, he stood
over the lifeless and prostrate man and
fired the remaining five charges into him.
And then mounted his horse and rode
Error is a misfortune to be lamented;
but to know the truth, and not to render

there came a knock at ihdoirr 7
There, says I, is some one anxious to
subscribe for the EI Paso Journal, so I
uttered a loud voice, Come in.'
She was dressed. in a pair of store boots
and an iron gray set of spectacle, and
she walked up to me with majesty in
her mien. I knew who it was the min
ute I set my eyes on her.
It was a woman.
I gracefully arose and said, 'How are
you, matm' was you wishing to subscribe
to the El Paso Journal? at the same time
dippin' my pen in the ink and openin' my
subscription book. This alwuz gits 'em.
It looks like biznees.
It didn't git her.
She fixed her glassy eyes on me and
said: Young man, are yew an advocate
for the holy caws of woman's rights?'
No. maam said I, I am a Presby
terian.' 'Air you she said, 'prepared to embark
with us over the sea of equal suffrage?
'Maam,' said I, 'I haint no objection
to takin a quiet sail with you, provided
the boat ain't leaky and you'll do the
rowin.'
A smilo perused her features for a
moment, and then she said, 'I am wil
hnn to suffer for the caws
'Yes,' said I, in a , polite and softenin'
Lmanner, 'It'll only cost two dollars, aud
we 11 send it to any address for an entire
year.
Hev you a wife? she asked.
'1 hev, said I, wonderin what she was
cominlat. 'So that you see I couldn't
marry you et 1 wanted to
L threw this in as a soother.
'Air you willin' that she should share
with you the burdens and trials of life?
'I ain't no ways pertikiler,' said T, "an'
I'll let her shoulder tho hoLe of 'era ef
she has a hankerin' that way.'
"Wood you consent that she should go
to the poles?'' said she.
'She can go where she pleases said I
She ginnerly duz.
'Yew air a hole sold man,' said she,
and throwin' her arms aiound my neck,
laft wildly.
'Git out,' said I, 'what are ye up to?
I aint one of them, men. Stop."
After much labor I succeeded in un
loosening her hold and sit her down in a
chair. 1 judged from her conduct that
she stood in need of a few moral obser
vations. 'loo air an impulsive femail,' said I.
' Yoor nature is at ence spantaneous and
outbreakin. Yoo need a pair of martin
gails. Consider what would be your state
efa man's wife was to catch yoo 3 hug

She wiped her face with her dress
She had on a dsess. I forgot to mention
this fact in speaking of her spectacles.
'1 am a worker in the caws of Women's
Rightr.'
'Yes,' said I, 'yoo air. Yoo ought
to be ashamed of yourself. I should judge
yoo was one of them lobby women that
the Chicago Tribune correspondents tells
of. But yoo ean't come yoor nefarious airs
over me. I'm stealed against 'em.'
'I should be pleased,' she said, 'to go
arm in arm with yoo to the poles.'
No. yoo don't, said I, in alarm. 'not ef
I have an v thins to say in the matter. I
won't go with yoo not a single darned
pole.
'Young man,1 said she, hast tnou chil

I hev,' said I, 'seven of 'em. Can yoo
show as good a record?
'Wood yoo,' said she, 'hev your girls
crow np and be married to base, sordid
men, wno wouia laice away ineir poiiucai
rites and allow 'em no franchises?
Darn the frachises, says I in a rage;
'they are the things that women put on
behind to give 'em the Grecian bend. Ef
my daughters ever go towearin' 'em '
No, no said she, they are panni
ers', 'Well said I, 'panniers or franchises,
or whatever yoo call 'em, I am opposed
to 'em. They are on natural and humpty.
They 4gratle the human form into the
likeness of a camel, and lovely women
down en all fours like a cat.'
. 'Then said she, 'come with me, and
we will emancipate women from the slav
ery of dics .
'No said I, with severity. 'I hev no
wish to take the close away from any
woman. Wimmen without close would
be a sad spectacle, particularly in winter,
when the howling blasts prevail. ; Who
are you, any wayr I asked of ray risitor.
I am a pilgrim ahe said, 'I . belong to
the Agitator, & noospaper devoted . to the

'Well, said I calmly, 'the wimmin in

married and divorced within a month.
The wimmen of Chicago need agitatin'
powerfully. Keep a stirrin' on 'em up,
if you please. The more you agitate, the
best for 'em.
With these words I arose, and telling
her to set still until my return, I stole
softly down stairs. I have not been back
since. What will be the effect of of leav
ing a femail agitator silting in my seat
the whole of this time I np not, but if she
waits until I go back her patience will be

Religion that will Wiar. -There is
not much solidity in a religion that will
not stand the test of every day experi
ence. "There are a good many pious peo
pie." says Douglas Jerrold, "who areas
careful of their religion as of their best
service of china, only using it only holis
day occasions, for fear it should get
chipped or flawed in working.day wear."
That species of religion may do for a show,
but there's little substanee in it. It is not
the kind to last. It is too fine for use.;
It is too much, of the gilt gingerbread
sort for the more general service of man
kind. It can do little good in the eyes
of one who judges us not by the exterior,
but by the interior evidence of excellence.
Religion, to be servicablel must not only
be substantial, but active. It must not
be drowsy. It must be wide awake, vigU

Nothing leaves us as it Eound us.U
a sheet of paper, on which a key has
been laid, be exposed for some minutes
to the sunshine, and then instantaneously
viewed in the dark, the key being re
moved, a fading spectre of the will be
visible. Let this paper be put aside for
months, where nothing can disturb it,
and then in darkness be laid on a plate
of hot metal, the spectre of the key will
again appear. This is equally true of our
minds. Every man we meet, every book
we read, every picture or landscape we
see, every word or tone we . hear, leaves
its image on the brain. These tracesr
which under ordinary circumstances are
invisible, never fade, but in the intense
light of cerebral excitement start into
prominence just as the spectre image of
the key started into sight on the applieas
cation of heat. It it is thus with all the
influences to which we are subjected.
The Tobacco Crop. About seventy-
five per cent, of the tobacco .crop is pro
duced in five States. Unlike the crops of
wheat and corn, which are grown through,
out the country, particularly in the West
where the yield is enormous, a failure of
the tobacco crop in Virginia, North Car
olina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Maryland,
would affect the prico of this staple very
materially in the commercial centres
The indications in .Virginia, "which rais
ed thirty per cent, of the crop in 1867,
and in North Carolina are that the yield
will be reduced one half.
In Tennessee and Kentucky we believe
the season has not been as favorable as
usual. So that, as we have said, a mate
rial reduction of the crop in these largely
tobacco producing States will tend to
elevate prices, and that this will be the
result in the reference to the tobapco "ferop
we think it reasonable to conclude.
The tobacco is now active. During the
past week in New York, Kentucky leaf
was held lor an advance, and manuiac
tured tobacco was in brisk , demand and

space
scription of a meteorological phenomena
L.i ? - ,
mat is now trauspiring eaes evening in
the skies above the Rocky in that roman
tic territory
Since the reeent solar eclipse, they
have, upon the summit of the Rocky
Mountain chain, what the inhabitants call
a "second twilight, so orifftaut with
colors of mist, shade 'and fire, lights as U
pain the eye in its steady gaze upon
them, and to leave an impression on the
mind that will never be obliterated.
Just as the sun is about to set, a heavy
mist gathers on the mountain, and grow,
ing dense and denser it shuts entirely the
last expiring rays of that ominous body,
then all is darkness, or nearly to; for al
most thirty minutes; when all at once the
heavens become lit up from the horizon
all around, far up to a sural! circle in the
center, with a livid glare of tho most
dazzling chromatic colors, seeming as
though a tremendous bonfire was ablaze
below, throwing its glare in clear and
steady flame above.This gorgeous and
fearfully beautiful scene lasts for nearly
an hour, then dimmed by its fiery luster
regains its ascendency and lights up the.
balance of the night in pale shadows as
it is wont to do in every other clime.
Now, what causes the chromatic twi
lights? They were never before witness
ed by any of the oldest mountaineers. I
was in that section at this season la it
year, and I have never seen- jo grant sad
so thrilling tv iUxb0 jr
occurred since the great- solar eclipse of
the 7th inst. What does it mean? What
does it protend? How does it originate?
Old Sarshay the learned Ute Chief
stands in silence each night gazing at this
wonderful phenomenon, and when asked
what he thinks about it, replies, slowly
and sadly: "Ugh! the Great Spirit is
mad! He blows fire! His wigwam? re in
trouble! White man and red man better
feel afraid, for the Great Spirit is mad
he is heap angry!".
French Feterthe old trapper and miner,
says: Itis now twenty-three years since
I have seen the State. I have been etev
en years in these mountains, ami I have
never seen such fiery night. The winds
are damper; they blow milder and the air
grows heavier. I dont know now - to- ac
count for it. It all has happed ainee the
eclipse of the sun. There will be-a big
fire some of these days that alt the waters
of the world will never drown out,, and
those days are coming rapidly."
If it be true, as one of the Fiofessora of
the Cincinnati Observatory says, that im
mense volumes of hydrogen ga were
thrown out from the center, of the sun to
the surface, during the recent solar eclipse
how long will bo before the oxygen will
be thrown out, and the carbon became
the ruling and destoying element?
I give these particulars by request, and
there are numbers of people in this city
who, on last Sabbath and Monday nights,
witnessed, , with roe, this wonderful
phenomenon on the summit of the -Rocky
Mountain chain, 8,262 feet above the lev
el of the sea. The Cheyenne and Laramie
papers will endorse this description.
Queer Whim There is a lady at the
White Sulphur Springs of whom it is
said that in the days of girlhood she re

the vow was religiously kept, and that she
actually married the hundredth . woer!
"Hallo! ejaculated an anxious guardian
to his'prctty niece, as he entered the
parlor and saw her on the sofa in the arms
of a swain who had just popped the ques
tion and sealed it with a kiss, what'a

it was about half past twelve, was the
eool reply. of the joyful damsel yon tee
