ONE MILLION DOLLARS
FOB THE EDUCATION OF THE
FEEEDMEN OF THE SOUTH A
EICH DONATION.
Norwich, Conn.. April 12.
John P. Slater, a wealthy gentle
man of thia city, has signified his
intention to create a fond of $1,-
000,000, to be known as the "John
P. Slater fund," for the education
of the freedoien. The fund is to
be vested in the hands of trustees,
who are to apply the income ac
cording to the instructioa of the
donor. I is uuders ood here that
the act incorporating theoe trns
tees is to be presented to the Sen
ate at Albany, N. Y.. to-day. Mr.
Slater thus explains, in one para
graph of his letter to the trustees
his general object : "The genera!
object which 1 desire to have ex
clusively pursued is the uplifting
of the lately emancipated popula
tion of the Southern States, and
their posterity by conferring on
them the blessings of Christian
education. The disabilities form
erly suffered by this people, and
their singular patience and fidelity
in the great crisis of the nation es'
tablish a just claim on the sympa'
thy and good will of human and
patriotic men. I cannot but. fee'
the compassion that is due in view
of the prevailing ignorauce, and
which extsta through no fault of
their own." Mr. Slater purposely
leaves the trustees the largest lib
erty in making such changes in
the methods of applying the fund
as may from time to time seem
wise. He suggests that the edu
nation of teachers for the colored
race may be the wisest purpose to
which the fund ' can be put after
thirty-three years three-fourths ol
the trustees shall for any reason
agree that there is no further use
for the fund in the form it is now
instituted. He authorizes them to
apply the capital to the establish
ment of foundations subsidiary to
the existing institutions of higher
eduoation, so as to make them
more freely accessible to poor col
ored students. Under the present
institution of the fund he special
ly wishes that neither principal
nor income be expended in land
or buildings for any purpose than
that of safe and productive invest
ment for income.

He drew them from the lilies, from

His illustrations were so easy and
so understandable.

THE USUAL RESULT.
It is not to be denied that a good Hewing
macmne is one of tbe most important
appurtenances of the modern household
We thought we had a good machine in
our household until one day the agent of
the fiew Home presented tuumtlf at our
dyor Hud proceeded to deliver1 an oration
upon its characteristic merits.
JJut. we aiiswtv. ed, ' our nihchine
serves us nicely and salts us well, und we
do not care tor another.
The agent, however, was peisintetit.
and finally begged the privilege of leav
ing one of his maohiues with ns, "for the
ladies to try."
The request was not unreasonable, so
we granted it but more to oblige the
ageut than anything else; for we really
did not want the machine, and had not
he remotest idea of buying it.
The machine once in the house, it was
natural that the ladies should look it over.
They did so, and as a consequence fell in
love with it. They say that without the
slightest wish to decry or disparge any
other machine, this, all things consid
ered, is, in their opinon. the most de
sirable one to be had.
The upshot of the whole matter was
that the old machine was disposed of,
and the Light Running Mew Home in
stalled into our household a very fair
and satisfactory arrangement being made
with the agent.
It is pronounced a genuine beauty and
a real comfort, and our folks wanted us
to tell other folks about it. ;
This unrivalled machine is manufac
tured by JOHNSON, CLARK & CO., 30

to say that all who will send for their new
illustrated catalogue and enclose their
advertisement (printed on another page),
will receive a set of fancy advertising
