Tbe big church was wrecked, and many build ings were destroyed. Even the trees and shrubbery were torn as if by a hail storm. Several hundred women and children came into the American lines for refuge, and the road from Ba- coor was covered all day long with pro cessions of them, on foot, and in carts, driving animals, and carrying goods on their heads. The appearance of the battlefields testified to the fierceness of Tuesday's fighting. Trees along the river, between the lines, were almost torn down by bullets.

Fleecy clouds are passing overhead and give "us alternate un and shade. I bear the distant whistle of a locomotive and the trembling, rumbling sound of tha train as it crosses the river bridge. I see children dressed in their Sunday clothes going happily to the city hall to take their part in the commence ment exercises. Along our garden lenco the variegated cannas lift their proud heads in peaceful beauty, and not far away is a row of flowering yeas arrayed iq rainbow colors and ex haling sweet odors to the air. Apple, geranium and lemon verbenas sweeten the breezes at our. window. Looking northward from the verandah where I sit, the distant hills are ruled upon each other in regular irregularity, while more distant mountains give a back ground of cerulean blue to the beautiful picture. Here I am rum inating calmly and serenely happy in a big arm chair. Half a hundred magnificent oaks stand like God's sentinels in the grove before me, lifting ineir leaiy nranches toward the sky in adoration of their creator.

The editor then says that the future of tho colored race ia the gravest prob lem that America has to face, eertainly as grave as tbe extension of her empire over Cuba and the Philippines.and that the United States is paying a heavy debt for the tins of her fathers. The Howatd Association appeals to human ity to avert the solution by natural dis aster, and raya the negro trouble has become so great that it is feared the difficulty cannot bo settled but with blood.

Of all the fools upon earth an English toot is tne Diggest. Whose lathers is that fool editor talking about? Eng land never freed her own slaves until 1815, bnt thaf editor dosent know they ever had any. Our southern fathers never imported any; they bought them from the yankees. Traders from Eng land and Massachusetts, who kept up the slave trade in partnership until 1857. Th" last slaver bought was an American Teasel with a mixed crew on the coast of Madagascar. A man told me he heard a Chicago Irummer say, not long ago, ' that an other drummer told him h heard of a Boston banker who wrote to a Chicago broker and asked him if he din't want to put some more money ia New Eng land rum to Bbip to Africa. I expect they are at it yet. Why, it was a very respectable business both in EngUnd and Massachusetts just as long as they :ould find a market for the slaves.
