An Aristocratic, Darkey.-John B,
Vashon, a colored barber of Pittsburg, died
recently al the Railroad station in tha,
| city whilst about to start fol, Philadelphia
Ito take his seat in the convention ofthe
soldiers Of 1912. The history Of Vashou
lis somewhat singular one. He was .
light mullalto, the. son ofa Virginian o
tie S same name.-He died worth Two hun.
dred thousand dollars. One Of his sons il
LAWYER in that city.-The people O.
Pittsburgh are indebted 10 him for the frs
public baths established in that city. y I'm
iii the Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania
decided ,ha. people Of color were not le'
gal voters, Vashon enjoyed the right o
Suffrage. In 1880 he supported gentle
man for the Assembly, upon the ground
that he was fashionable man." the mea
ming Of which was that he bought his soaI
al Tashon's shop. On one occasion Wash
on visited the falls Of Niagara, and there
met with Piltsburg acquaintance, ,whs
introduced him 10 q friend from Roches
ter, N York, as"Col. Yasllon, ofthe Mex
|icai Army."- -shortlyafeerwards ya'hor
met this gentleman in Rochester, ;wht
paid him grea. attention, introduced hin
10 the leading no,ables Of that city, and
The Pittsburg barber was for some dass th'
lion Of the place.-Vashon kept hl' .ow'
counsel, and on his return 10 Pittsburs re
lated the story with great glee, Away
winding up with the remark, "see what I
thing this prejudice Of color is; az long a
they though. me Mexican Colonel,
was good enough company for any body
vashon considered himself asa, sort 0
Western rival ofthe late Thomas 5. An
n,isrs, of Philadelphia, whom he describe
as very pompeous man."

"In the preparation Of Hfara,n.yard,

thres points worthy 10 be observed.
Tho iirstis. that many ofthese substan-
ces are soluble. Now the common
way ofprepaling farm.yarl dung every
body is acquainted with; a large mass Of
straw andexcrement'is is allowed to rosin
the midst of a quantity of water, where
instead of q genial heat; being produced

run away, as if'the clcanerthestrawthe

Iis many journalist now langnishing in
poverty, while dozens to whose success
inlifeihe gave the first impulse, roll by

his very existence. There is no country
save ours, in the world where journalist
are expected to do SO much work for, the
special benefit Of. others without recon-
pense. Generally out ofthis county, ed.
| Iitors are in accessibly,iif not anonymous;
They may let you know what they think
but not who thinks it. You cannot walk
into an editors room in, London or Paris,
and ask him 10 devote his time and his
columns to your advancement or profit.
Here this is done every day, even BY utter
strangers. b, .....,...g 4.,r.,,,, Ia.

Ifial for Disturbing d Meeting. Tho
Romney (yirgiuia) Argus, of Thursday
last, gives the following particulars Of
a case which excited much interest in
the Hampshire County Court, at its
session last week:- 4ni3t.a .,i.l ~.
am"Aovery respectable gentleman by
the name Of Fleak, of some sixty,years
Of age, had a daughter. q young woman
grown, in the habit Of attending night
meetings, much against his wishes. On
one occasion of this kind, while she was
in tho meeting, the old gentleman re-
paired to the place, and, calling at the
door, commanded his daughter to come
out and accompany him home. The
preacher, who was holding forth on the
occasion, was SO enraged at this seem
ing impudehce Of Mr.. r., that he sprang
to the door, whereupon recontre took
place, in which the old gentleman was
much iujured-.being felled to the
ground, and dragged some twenty fee,
by the hair of his head. Mr.. +. was ar.
rested for disturbing public worship,
and the Cour, imposed fine, and sen
fenced the old gentleman to short i'm
prisonment in the county Jail. His coun.
sci made motion for re-hearing, but
said motion was over ruled."t 3sl' i'i
The Argus complains Of the decis.
ion. 1t says: "Undsr all the circum-
stances Of the case, we think it rather
hard to compel an old man to be incar'
cera.ed in jai! for merely soliciting his
daughter to leave q meeting; and the
preacher who could thus treat an old
| gentleman Of. sis.y years Of age was
certainly ac,ua,ed by no Christian spirit"

4 SHORT SERMON.
II an OK gore a man or woman that

"If an OK gore q man or woman thas
they die, then the OK shall be stoned
but the owner.shall be quit. But it the
OK were wont to push with his horns in
times past, and it hath been testified 10
its owner. aud he hath not kept him IN;
but that he had killed a man or woman
tho OK shall be stoned, and its owner
shall be stoned to death. Erodas, Xxx,
2s, go. 4.l s'.96e'E 'St,s1' '.'- '1.S
The principle Of this law is all thss
we are concerned with at present It
is this: ,.'...i,.,..t..r ,,r,'i
Every man is reponsible to God for
The evils which result from, selfishness,
|; or his Indifference to the welfare Of 9TH
ters. This law will help US to illustrate
the principle. The design of stoning
the OK was to produce an effect upon
men-,o show them how highly the law
values human life. sn'f 96' toe.'ai
1 In the trial Of the owner ofthe OK,
the only questions to be asked, were:
Was the OK wont to push with his horns
in times past2 Did the owner; .knowit it
when he let him loose >? If both these
questions could be answered in the affir-
NATIVE, the owner was responsible Tor
all the consequence. n ..lI
Thisis u rule which God has himself
established; and it applies directly TO
the object Of this sermon: the traffic in
intoxicating liquor. Is the sale of these
liquors wont TO produce misery, and
wretchedness and death? Has this been
testified to those that make and yend
them7 Ifthese things can be established,
the inference is inevitable: they are re-
sponsible, on a principle perfectly in
telligiblo-a principle proclaimed BY
God himself. r l..... ss.s g.,
Wherever the traffic is permitted, the
voice Of lamentation and woe may be
heard, and whatever things are pure and
lovely. or Of good report, disappear.
These are the eifects-can any one
deny that the OK is won't to push with his
'horns7 Aud hath this been testified to
the owner7 Are the makers and yend-
.ers aware Of the effects Have they
not eyes and ears as well as others2 Do
they not know that their whole business
is to kipdle strife, to encourage profani.
ty, to excite evil PASSIONS to destoy all
tsalu,ary fears, to remove every restraint,
and 10 produce guilty reckless life. and alnggd
a premature dea,h2 And how often, a.
las may i. be said ofhim who prepares
and puts the cup to his neighbours lips
He sank down into the pit which be
made; in the net which he set, is bis
own foot taken" ~ 's. e..
A way is now open to chain the. OK.
What will every good citizen do? Will
he not sin against God and man, if he
fail to do, in every proper way, all. he
can to bind his OK; SO that his power to
destroy may cease fereverl If he fold
his hands, and make no effort to stop
him in his work of death, where will lie
the responsibility if not on the man who
had the power TO stop him, but would
not use it. Brethren. let US bind the
OK! let US knock him in the head u
Then, he will hurt nobody. e' E1N'
