An men rush to these deepos as fast as

As the train of Opportunity jest goes

They rush down to the station with their

As the platform of the tail-end car goes

An' Borne men groan an' cry aloud, an'
some conceal their pain.
Wen they find that they have got there
jest in time to miss the train.
But the cars puff through the valleys an'

An' float their banners of white smoke

keep himself out of debt, and yet
because he is generous and can t

forced him into a dishonest posi

When the end of the week comes
and he is ten dollars short in his
money, a little bit on his board

not be attended to, and the money
that should go home must be apol

HOW M155EHAHA DIED.
A Bflnneot Hunter TakM EzccpUoai
to Lonffrellow' Rom.Bile Paem.
Albany Argus.
Then they buried Minnehaha ;
In the snow a grave they made her,
In the forest deep and darksome,
Underneath the moaning hemlocks ;
Clothed her in her richest garments ;
Wrapped her in her robes of ermine,
Covered her with snow-ute ermine,
Thus they buried Minnehaha.
And there are those residing in
Minneapolis to-day who assert
that the grave of Minnehaha, or
" Laughing Waters' was made
within a few feet of the famous
Minnehaha tails. But a few days
since, by the courtesy of a news
paper man, I was given a free ride
from the city to the falls, the dis
tance being five and one-tenth
miles over the motor line. If you
cannot secure a " pass " your
round trip will cost you twenty
cents.
The trip is a good one and takes
you through a beautiful portion of
tfte city, consuming about half an
hour. Arriving there, a two min
utes' walk brings you to the brink
of the falls, easily seen from the
little cottage depot. You descend
a flight of stone steps and staud
facing the falls about midway j
from top to bottom. !
Here a grand view may be ob
tained from a wooden platform
built out from the cliff by an en
terprising photographer, who, in
the summer season, " takes the
picter" of many a blushing bride
and red-faced" groom, using the
falls as a background. Going
do w.i still lower, you aroon a level
with the creek below, which rushes
through a tortuous rocky gully to
the open country miles away.
You may cross the stream, if
you choose, on a rustic bridge to
the opposite shore, and here for
many rods you will see the names
of people residing in about every
State in the Union carved in the
soft white and red limestone walls,
Eieres of which may be crushed
etween the fingers as easily as a
lump of flour. If you like you
may walk behind the water as it
comes over the edge, as there is a
safe rocky path the entire distance,
many feet wide, made by nature.
The water falls about sixty feet.
The falls are in the shape of a
horseshoe, with the ends as a bank
of the falls on either side of the
3tream below. !
Years . ago it must have been a
wild and romantic spot, but today
it is "cleared up " so that but few
trees line the bank. At present
one looking at the gram neias
above cannot help thinking that
had Minnehaha lived until now
her lover, Hiawatha, could have
supplied her with an abundance of
food and thus save her from death
by starvation, and more especially
when by walking but a few feet he
would have encountered a first
class country grocery store with
an awning-covered restaurant at
tached.
The day that I visited the place
a newly-wedded couple were also
there, and tbe groom held in his
hand Longfellow's poems contain
ing the written story of Mmne
hahn, Hiawatha and old Nokomis.
Seating themselves on a stone he
read the tale to her, occasionally
stopping to "express his senti
ments " on the same, every word
of which she drank in with open
mouth. In the midst of " school's
in" an old settler with grizzled
beard and shaggy hair, and dressed
in a suit of 'coon skin, with hat
and shoes to match, came up and
became an attentive listener.
As the reading continued the
hump in his back (tronTage) be
came more "humpified," and at
the conclusion of the story he
"spread his sentiments" by first
asking:
"Who writ that?"
" Longfellow, sir."
" Well, he don't know a darned
thing 'bout it, and the gal didn't
starve to de'th, nuther. I've been
'round here nigh onto fifty year,
and my grandfather shot bears in
this county before me, and I allow
to now all 'bout it. You see, this
Hiawatha went a-huntin and foun'
the gal with the Dakota Injuns.
He stayed there all summer, and
finally in the fall the two on 'em
loped. Just as thev come to these
'ere falls her Injun dad and brother
cum up to em and was just going
to nab em both .when they run to
the edge and lumped over the
falls, and both j was kilt dead.
Now, 1 don't know who this 'ere
Longfellow mought be, but. by
gosh 1 he don't know what he writ
when he said that."
After delivering himself the
hump on his back gradually soft
ened down and the old settler
went on over to the grocery store
to see if "Cy Johnson had found
his yaller cow, what was lost along
a week ago," and the groom, look
ing after his retreating figure, sim
ply said, " Well,! by thunder T-
his bride remarking, "I should
say as much." It's just possible
that the exact fate; of Mmnehaha,
Hiawatha and Nokomis will never
be fully known, but the falls are
here just the, same.

"'WelL, this will be the best

with long hair and a great bushy
beard, sat down at the piano and
began to play. My, how he did
bang them keys ! There was
thunder down in the bass and
tinklin' cymbals up in the treble.
" ihe lady that sat side of me
whispered when there was a min

"'My.no!' says I. 'I don't see
what anvbodv's motive could be

" Then she smiled behind her
fan, but I didn't know what at,
whether 'twas the music or me.
" When the piece stopped every
body hummed and whispered to
each other how lovely twas, and a
good many told the German how
much obliged they were. 1 didn t
say a word.
" Then a tall woman, all fixed
up with silks and furbelows, sang
a piece that almost-made my haii

had so manv ups and downs in it.
She was master smart ; anybody
could see that, but somehow 1

Mr. Yance proceeded to address
the Senate on Mr. Butler's bill to
provide for the emigration of the
colored people from the united
States. He oegan by quoting the
scriptural saying that the sins of
he father shall, be visited on the
children. It was, he said, but an
other way of saying that the mis-
akes and crimes of one generation
remain to plague another genera
tion. He sketched the introduc
tion of slavery into this country
and its destruction as the result of
he civil war, and the establish
ment of the reconstructed govern
ments in the South; " but," said
he, -' Lo t the negro again bobs up
serenely," (laughter), "and for his
sake to-day -we are threatened not
only with political agitation, disss-
itpuB in lisen, out wim a servue
war, whose weapons shall be the
midnight toich and the assassin's
dagger, and whose victims shall
be sleeping women and children.
Mr. Vance went on to criticise
Mr. Ingalls' speech, which he char
acterized as a piece of oratory,
concealing its paucity of ideas. It
reminded him forcibly of an as-
ronomer's description of the re
markable tenuity of the tail of a
recent comet. Its length was de
scribed as a hundred million miles
as it stretched athwart the skies,
and its breadth as fifty thousand
miles, and yet the solid matter
which it contained could be trans
ported in a one-horse car. He
(Yance) had Listened and listened
with great entertainment to that
speech ; he had searched and
searched and he had wondered
where the remedy was for the evil
that was depicted in such colors.
He wanted to see the solid matter
of the illumination. Suddenly, he
said, before the light expired and
he Senate was left in darkness,
the solution was announced as
. m . m
justice." However sententorious
that might be. it was about as defi
nite as the twinkling that remained
under the closed eyelids after the
withdrawal of light. Justice, as
the Senator from Kansas had ex
plained it, was that the South
should quietly and without effort
submit to negro rule wherever the
negroes were in the maiority. The
Senator had graciously promised
that if the remedy still proved a
failure he would do what ? He
would counsel with the South!
What blessed and comforting
words. He regretted that
he could not support the bill of
the Senator from South Carolina
It did not reach the case, was not
practicable and would result in no
substantial relief. Under its pro
visions but few negroes would go
from this country, and those few
would probably be the best. He
could not say that he had any de
sire to attempt in any way such a
great unhistoncal : task as the re
moval of the whole people, amount
ing to probably seyen millions,
from their native land. There was
ample room for them in the North
and the Northwestern States ; and
it was entirely practicable to in
duce them to settle in those States.
If, said he, the negro is a good
thing, let us divide him out (laugh
ter.) He admitted that such a
plan would be the death of many
politicians, but it would give
peace to the country and ho could
betr the absence of politicians
(laughter.) In conclusion he said
(addressing himself to lngallsj:
If you- cannot help either the
black or white, common decency
requires that you should hold your
place.
Too Mack Complaint.
There has already been too
much said about hard times, as it
has had a tendency to demoralize
the public. There has been more
said about hard times in the last
four months than during the four
dark veara when every able-bodied
man was in the army fighting the
enemy, and our mothers and wives
and daughters were home wearing
homespun dresses and homemade
shoes, drinking potato and rye
coffee sweetened with sorghum
molasses, and boiling water out of
the Atlantic to get salt for their
bread. F. W. Gregory, in Roa
noke News.-
Monday afternoon a young white
woman from the neighborhood of
Maiden or between Maiden and
Lincolnton came to one of the
negro settlements of town with a
child in her arras about nine or
ten months old. After much beg
ging she succeeded the next day
in persuading a colored woman to
take the child, whose father is
said to be a negro, off her iiands,
and started off for Hickory, leav
ing the child behind. The name
of the woman we are informed is
Small. Newton Enterprise.

WHO WANTED
A HEOKESS
FOR A WIFE,
Nw York World.
PiJk.TrsacouTH. Neb.. Jan. 31
Henry James Lambert is the name
of the young Englishman who has
written to Atlanta for the purpose
of securing a full-blooded negress
for a bride. Several weeks ao
Mr. Lambert' 8 eye fell upon the
following advertisement, which
appeared In an Eastern paper :
"To any respectable white man
furnishing proper credentials as to
character who will marry my
daughter I will present on his
wedding day with $1,500. I am
an honest colored man, and by in
dustry nave accumulated a for
tune. Address "G. W." Lock
box, 1,004, Atlanta, Ga."
On reading the advertisement
Mr. Lambert immediately wrote to
the above addres, 'making a prop
osition oi marriage, witn tne stip
ulation that the monetary part of
the contract should be fulfilled
and requesting as an evidence of
good faith that the transportation
to Atlanta should be sent him.
To avoid being doped he has
written to the authorities at At
lanta asking them to make proper
inquiries as to the advertisement
and the probability of the offer
being made good. '
Mr. Lambert is 28 years of age
and was born in Burwash, Eng
land. He has resided in America
five years and has made this city
his home for the past seven months.
He has no occupation, but he re
ceives monty remittances from
Europe, and on the death of an
uncle he will inherit a considera
ble fortune. Of good education
and a fair degree of culture, he
attracted no little attention in
this city, only to the peculiar ideas
he advances as to the best means
of solving the present race prob
lem. Mr. Lambert advocates the in
termarriage of the Caucasian and
negro races, and holds that by
this means the negro race will in
the course of a few generations
become extinct, the fruit of the
first intermarriage being mulattoes
the second quadroons, the third
octoroons, and so on until all
trace of the African in future gen
erations Is obliterated. It is in
full accordance with this view that
he has made the proposition above
referred to.
Are Ntonea Alive?
A few weeks ago the St. Louis
Republic gave the results of some
startling experiments by Mr. Ma
son Kinne, of California, in which
that gentleman had claimed to
having discovered sex in the min
eral atoms. From the following it
will be seen that E. D. Walker,
the scientest and writer anticipa
ted the Pacific slope philosopher
by about two years. Ihe extract
given below is from an article by
Mr. Walker written in 1887 : "We
generally think of minerals as
dead lumps of inactive matter.
But they may be truthfully said
to be live creatures of vital pul
sations and separated into indi
viduals as distinct as the pines in
a forest or tigers in a jungle. The
disposition of crystals are as di
veise as those ot animals. They
throb with unseen currents of en
ergy. They grow in size as long
as they have opportunity. They
can be killed, too, though not as
easily as an oak or a dog. A
strong electric current discharged
through a crystal will decompose
it very rapidly if it be of soft
structure, causing the particles to
gradually integrate in the reverse
order to it growth, until the poor
thing lies a dead, shapeless ruin
It is true the crystal's life id un
like that of higher creatures
But the difference between vege
table and animal life is no greater
than that between mineral and
vegetable life. Linnaeus, the
great Sweedish naturalist, defined
the three great kingdoms by say
ing : 'Stones grow, plants grow

While Walker explains nothing
of sex in stones, it is plain that
his ideas respecting them were
identical with the wonderfu
truths Mr. Kinne thinks he has
demonstrated in his microscopica
researches!

London Times with reasonable
certainty to eastern Asia and the
floods followed by famine and
malaria which occurred in the
Hoang Ho or Yellow river 0
China two years ago. Similar
outbreaks of influenza have
originated in the same region from
the same cause, or at least the
disease has spread west through
Siberia inst after overflows of
Chinese rivers which produced
famine and fevers. Ihe great

AMAH
THE HVJt CURE.
Pall Mall Casette.
Hidden oraang the mountains of
Carinthia lies the little wooden
roofed village of Yelder or Bledu,
in the irresponsibla language of
its xiavonio mnaoitauis. xi
stands on the shores of a small
ake of deep blue water.
By the lake hotels and villas
congregate. These are one and
all brilliant and festive dwellings.
To this romantic little shrine
sun worshipers come during the
summer to offer sacrifices, while a
arge number of pleasure seekers
ock in from Trieste from all
parts of Germany, Poland and
the north of Italy. What I lost
in the 'society of the amiable and
be wealthy 1 never knew, for
they lived down on the lakeside
the "anhut colony, while 1
remained in the village high above
he lake.
The "air huts" are little wooden
dwellings for the sun cure pa-
lents, consisting of one large
room, wmch has three walls in
stead of four. The flat roof of
the bath house has been enclosed
by a tall fence, so that only the
sky is visible from the inclosure.
Here, with heads carefnlly shaded
rom the hot rays, each in a wooden
compartment, the patients frizzle
about an hour or an hour and a
hajf. The process is soothing,
strange as it may appear. The
sun god rewards his devotees.
Now . and then a voice calls
above the divisions for a glass of
water, now and then a sigh over
the heat escapes a worshiper;
otherwise the place is quite and
sleepy and reposeful. Reading
or mental exertion of any kind
is forbidden, and indeed severely
punished by headache or exhaus
tion. Uninspired must be the
drowsy observations that mingle
now and then with the humming
of the flies, and no one attempts
to break this rigid law. Even the
execrations wrung from the suf-
erers by the persistent attacks of
hese insects ought to be ot the
mildest character possible,- con
sidering the provocation. Much
had to be endured from the active
colony that had established them
selves at the sun bath.
During the last ten or twenty
minutes the faithful are wrapped
up in blankets like mummies; a
tepid bath and a rubbing follows,
and then the long suffering one is
released, but only to repeat the
process in the afternoon. Though
the opposite actions of the cool
air in the morning and of the , sun
at midday, great things to the ad
vantage of the patient are said to
occcur. Dr. lukle traces a large
number of illnesses, nervous and
other, to the want of vigorous skin
action and the consequent strain
on the other part of the body to
do the work which the lazy skin
is neglecting to do.
Census Hen Strike Rnaz.
H. T. Lyle, special agent of the
United States Census Depart
ment, with his assistants, number
ing five men, have been sent out
from AYashmgton by the Census
Department lor the purpose oi
ascertaining the amount of the
State's recorded indebtedness
They will have headquarters
Baleigh till the work is done.
in
It is not all smooth sailing, for
Mr. Lyle there, as will be seen
from the following trom the News
and Observer : It was rumored
yesterday that the census men had
struck a snag when they went into
the office of the clerk of the court
over which Mr. Charles D. Up
church presides. Mr. Upchurch
was interviewed yesterday and
stated that he declined to allow the
census canvassers to have access
to his records, and had also de
clined to give them any assistance
His reason for this was that tne
work which was well paid for
ought to be given to Wake county
men and not to agents sent out by
the Federal government from
Washington City.
Miss Mamie B. Williams a pret
ty girl of nineteen daughter of a
prominent Richmond family, is at
Lexington, Ky., waiting for her
lover to come and be married.
When she was sixteen she fell in
love with James H. Allen and
although her parents strongly
objected to him, he proposed and
was accepted. Two years ago All
en went to New Orleans. The
lovers kept up a correspondence
and when Mis3 Williams became
of age they agreed to meet here
and marrv. January the 14th was
the date fixed upon and the girl
arrived on time. Allen has not
appeared nor has he sent any
explanation.
One of the white teachers who
was sent to Beaufort by the
"American Missionary Society,"
supported principally by the Con
gregational church at the North to
teach the colored people, received
a note a day or so ago from a ne
gro youth asking the pleasure of
escorting her to church. She re
plied that she was not sent to as
sociate with the colored race but
to educate them.
KESATOB IKOALaVM SPEECH.
New York Herald.
Senator In gall's Bpeech yester
day was what perhaps he intend
ed it to be, a rather brilliant dis
play of verbal fireworks. It
abounded in epigrammatic state
ments. No doubt it tickled the
audience which listened to him.
But readirer calmly the reoort of
it we cannot see that he contribu- 7
ed anything to the solution of the
problem which he began by de
claring insoluble.
The Caucasian race is master-
ul, dominant and jealous of the
purity of its blood. It has- the
brains and the courage to rule, and
it will not tolerate the rule nor ad
mit the mixture of other races.
The negro race is mild,' submis
sive, clannish, gregarious, gather
ing by itself in localities, refusing
o become a part ot the general
community. This was Mr. Ingall's
statement of the two elements of
the problem. It differs in nothing
except, perhaps, in conciseness
and positiveness of statement.
rom that made a hundred times
by Southern speakers.
What thenl The hearer and
readers of Mr, Ingall's have a
right to ask him, What, O Kansas
statesman, Senator, one of the
awgivers of the Union, have you
to oner as a solution of the prob-
em you have stated 1
.Nothing. Nothing at all. 'A
threat that wrong done will bear
dreadful fruit. That we all know.
A dark hint that the negro will
presently revenge himself. But
the negro shows no signs of be
coming to that extent a Caucasian.
Into the very States where negroes
olaim that they have but lately
suffered wrongs and deprivation of
rights into those very States-
Arkansas and Louisaua negroes
are now emigrating from other
States. The contested electiou
books of evidence have much tes
timony from negroes that they
were prevented from voting,
driven trom their homes, even in
some cases their cattle aSad horses
destroyed. But not a scintilla of
evidence, sorfar as we have discov
ered, that these colored people are
leading or mean to leave the re
gions where they have thus been
dealt with. JN or the least testimony
from them or from their white
neighbors that where the negroes
are eight, ten or twelve to one of
the whites, they have lifted up t&
hand to defend themselves against
the attacks of insignificant minor
itT- .
'Try' justice, Mr. Ingalls cms
out to the white ' South. But the
white South will reply to him,
"Justice was tried , it was ' tried
for. years, with United States
troops to see that it was done and
United States marshals to super
intend it. And justice brought us
the rascaliest misgovernment in
history, under the manipulation of
your own party." What can Mr.
Ingalls say to such a reply?
.Nothing, except to repeat his
warning that injustice will breed
revenge : that wrong comes back
to the wrongdoer. That is true,
and every Southern whi e should
remember it. But threats are not
statesmanship ; a jeremiad is not
practical politics. From a law
giver men have a right to expect
remedies, not denunciation. Ver
bal fireworks may amuse a Wash
ington audience stalo with late
suppers and longing for some new
excitement. But they are un
worthy of so great an occasion oi
so momentous a question, and we ,
will add, of so thoughtful and able
a man.
One thing we note in Mr. Ingall's
speech, and ask our colored tellow
citizens to note it also. The Sen
ator did not commit himself to the
Sherman-Chandler programme.
He did not advocate federal elec
tion laws. He did not offer to
help tho poor colored brother out
of the difficulties which he so
carefully exaggerated. Ile did not
sugar over the words of con
tempt which he had for the black
race with any coating ot promised
h ilp. That is the significant thing
in his speech.
