Outgrewth ef As of Bacchantae er Wandering Student. Hundreds of year tgu the kl reels of Jenit mid other (ierman towns used to echo to the songs of black robed uionk, who went from door to door linking and begging aim. Their example was followed by laud of poor student, known at bscvhantcs. These bacchantes wan dered from one university to an other in learch of better instruction or better meant of support. Such wandering life was favored by the customs of timet when people thought it a virtue to give freely to ail pcrnns seeking help, but espe cially to monks ana students. The bacchantes had with them younger traveling scholar, known at skirmishers, who were to receive instruction in return for certain services. The younger skirmisher had to wait upon nis bacchante, beg and even steal for him, and for the most cart he was very tyran nically used. But at he wua a waif without other protection he had to make the best of matters. After the reformation in many placee these orphan boyt, or waifs, were banded into organized choirs, who received pay from churches, but also were assisted by private aubscription. It was their duty to ting not only in the churches, but before the housea of their patrons aa well Thus they ceased to be beggars. Martin Luther himself as a boy had been one of these singers, and it was largely due to his influ ence that the old custom of begging entirely passed away. There is famous picture of Luther as a sing ing boy in Eisenach, where hit song attracted the attention of the good Fran Cotta, who adopted and edu cated him. Nowadays the old custom of the choir boyt' tinging from house to house is fading awav. There are only five other towns beside Jena in the whole German empire where this music ran be heard. Once each year the tinging boyt go to Eise nach and ting before the emperor in the great hall of the historic cas tle of the Wartburg, where the minnesingers held their music bat tles. There are just twenty of the Je tia singing boyt, five each of the get eleven, twelve, thirteen and fourteen year. They are orphans, and the only qualifications fur tho privilege of four years' board and ecnooung are good cbaracter, abili ty to ting and obedience to the laws of the organization, one of which require! them to aing before the housea of their patron.

Fr-ai Mi Inatunml t-Mn ''I look forward with hoi to in creasing the already good feeling between the South aud the other sections of the country. "While the Fifteeuth Amend meut ban Dot lieen generally ol nerved in the past, it ought to be observed, nod the tendency of Southern legislature today in to ward the enactment of electoral qualifications which shall square with that amendment. Or course, the were adoption of a constitu tional law is only oue step in the : right direction. It must be fairly !and jumly entorced aa well. In time both will come. Heuce it is ; clear to all that the domination of ! an ignorant, irreepousible element lean be prevented by constitutional laws which shall exclude from vot : ing both negroes and white not , having education or other qualifi .catious theoght to be necessary for a projier electorate. "There was a time when North erners who sympathized with the negro in his necessary struggle for belter conditions sought to give him the suffrage as a protection and to enforce its exercise against the prevailing influence of the .South. The movement proved to be a failure. What remains is the Fifteenth Ameudment to the Con stitution and the right to have statutes of States specifying quali fications for electors subjected to i the test of compliance with that amendment. Ibis is a great pro tection to the negro. It never will be repealed, and it never ought to be repealed. "If it had not been passed, it might bedillicult now to adopt it; but with it in our fundamental law the policy of Southern legislation must and will tend to obey it, aud so long as the statutes of the State I meet the test of this amendment I and are not otherwise in contlict with the Constitution and laws of ; the I'nited States, it is uot the dis position or within the province, of the Federal (ioveriiiuent to inter fere with the regulation by South ern States to their domestic a flairs. "The negroes are now Ameri cans. t are charged with the sacred duty of making their path as smooth and easy as we can. Any recognition of their distin guished men, any appointment to office from amoug their number, is properly taken as an encourage ment ami an appreciation of their progress, and this just policy will lie pursued.

Many a man who will ftxk for a copy of a newspaper would not think of acting a mer chant for a cigar, a yard of cloth or something of similar value, yet a moment's reflection will show that every copy of a paper costs something aud the paper is the publisher's stock in trade, the pro duct he manufactures for sale just as the cotton mill makes cloth for sale or any other manufacturing CNtalliHhment makes an article for Rale. Of course many copies are given away cheerfully for advertis ing purposes, and there is no ob jection to giving a regular custom er an occasional extra copy for good rea.soi.s.
