CONSERVATIVES AGAINST CoLoRED
SoHooLs.-The Radicals, while in au-
thority in Maryland, arranged school
system and set it in operation. 1t was
doing wonders among the people, and
for the poor especially. 1t had great
defects, but it was a beginning. It
provided that colored people should be
educated, but was unwise in providing
means only to the extent of thee school
funds collected by tax on the property
of eolored citizens. But even this is
too much for the Conservatives in pow
er. They are now at work in their
Constitutional Convention to destroy
its benefits, and have provided in their
proposed Constitution, that this school
system shall terminate at the adjourn
ment of the first General Assembly,
That General Assembly being Conser-
vative, like this Convention, will furn-
ish no system to take its place, or if it
should provide any, it will, as matter
of course, allow no schools for blacks,
and thus their purpose of depriving
them of education will be carried out.

CANNING FRUTTs-As the season of fruits
is just commencing, anything that will ena-
BILE it to be successfully canned at small
expense viii very much prolong the season.
Only those who have tried it know the sat
isfaction derived from eating a dish OF
peaches in mid-winter as fresh as when
gathered The annexed method of canning
fruit was. furnished at the New York Farm
ers club by Mr. Powers Of Oswego county,
New York: ~,
civil suppose your fruit and glass cans
all ready. prefer cans with glass covers
I scald the fruit in a large tin pan with juice
or water to cover it. Put half a tea cup Of
cold water into every can, and fill up with
hot water. Put the covers and rgbbers also
hot water. Now empty can and fill up
with hot fruit, and then another. Let them
stand open till the hand can be held upon
them without burning. As soon as filed
cut writing paper the size of the can, one
for each. and when cool slip one over the
fruit entirely, and gil up the can on the top
of the paper with boiling juice, and seal at
once. Ladies, try this way; the fruit will
never mould, and keep any time, if you
don't eat it. The papers keep the fruit from
rising to the top Of the liquid. There is no
use of setting cans into water to heat them,
or Of putting them into quilted bags; it is
too troublesome. let the fruit shrink, and
then gil up to the cover as close as pos
sible.

SUCCESSFUL MEN.-Amos Lawrence said,
when asked for advice, "Young man, base
all your actions upon principle of right,
preserve your integrity of character, and do
ing this never reckon the cost" A. T. Stew
art. the merchant prince of New York, says:
/" No abilities, however splendid, can COM
mand success without intense labor and per
severing application" The world-renowned
Rothschild ascribed success to the following
rules "Be an off-hand man: make bar
gain at once. Never have anything to do
with an unlucky man or plan. Be cautious
and bold" Edward Everett said: 1.-THE
world estimates men 10y their success in life,
and success is, by general consent, evidence
of superiority" The Bible says: " Seest
thou man diligent in BUSINESS He shall
stand before kings; yea, he shall not stand
before mean men," Franklin quoted and
verified this.

THE CELEBRATION IN PAsQUoTANK co,


MEssRs EDITORS The 4th day of July
was celebrated with appropriate honors by
the loyal people of Pasquotank County.
Early on that morning about two thou
sand people having assembled, in the vicini-
ty of the African Church, the procession was
formed, led by Society No. /, and the City
Brass Band Here the column was opened
and Miss F. Turner, conducted by MIR. L. A.
Sykes, marched to the stand, which was
erected for the purpose of presenting the
flags.
Miss Turner, representing the Daughters OF
Charity, then presented flag to the sons OF
Friendship, represented by Mr.. Chas Davis,
in the following words:
Sons OF FRIENDSHIP: It is pleasing
duty to me to present to you on this day, in
behalf of the Daughters of Charity, flag OF
the American Union. The founders OF this
great Republic established it for the purpose
of giving freedom to the white man, but
through the efforts of the Republican party,
aided by Divine Providence, the same free
dom has been extended to our race also. DO
not betray the trust which a generous gov
eminent has reposed in you; but with strong
arms and fearless hearts, march forward to
the accomplishment of your high destiny
Receive now from my hands this banner Be
true to the sacred principles OF liberty OF
which this is the symbol-live quietly be-
meath its folds in time of peace, and tight
under it in the hour of battle! "Long may
it wave, DER the land of the free and the
home of the bIavei"
Mr.. Davis responded. In the name OF the
Sons of Friendship thank you for this
beautiful banner of liberty. 1t is the en-
sign of freedom. When it was first unfolded
to the breeze, its defenders proclaimed to
the whole world the great truth that man
was capable of self.government, and that all
were created free and equal. Though i'm
perfectly understood by those who enunci-
ated them, these sentiments have lived in
the hearts of their SONS to be enlarged and
exempliied by the proclamations of Abra-
ham Lincoln and the recent acts of the
American Congress. Thus the privilege Of
the ballot has been conferred upon our race.
1t is a priceless blessing. Released from
bondage, restored to the enjoyment of ra-
tional and true liberty, We unite to-day in
perfect charity and friendship to celebrate
the anniversary of American Independence |!
The procession then moved forward to the
Academy grove-the band meanwhile dis
coursing patriotic airs.
Here two thousand people and over assem-
bled, and the officers of the day and Others
being seated, the exercises were opened with
prayer by Elder Williams.
Mr.. P. johnson introduced Mr.. T. A.
Sykes, who read the Declaration, when
Mr.. c. G. Pool was introduced to the au-
dience, who delivered an eloquent and inn
pressive grafton, which was received with
great enthusiasm.
In the afternoon Rev. s. w. Boon also de-
livered an able address.
And thus passed off one of the most or
derby celebrations, which it has ever been
our good fortune to behold. During the day
there was not single disturbance. S.

INDIAN SUFFRAGE IN MIcHIGAN-Int the
Michigan Constitutional Convention, clause
extending the right of suffrage to Indians has
been adopted. On Monday last motion
was made to qualify the clause extending
the right of suffrage to all male Indians, ma
tives of the United States, by requiring that
they shall be civilized, but it was afterward
rejected on the ground that it was of no
practical value.
It was also moved to require that it should
apply only to Indians who have dissolved
their tribal relations. 1t was argued that
this would cut of every Indian vote, and this
was defeated. All Indians are therefore now
voters, under the clause.

MILK AND ONION JUICE IN DRopsY.
DIR. Pautier, French physician, re-
lates the case of man who was afflicted
with general dropsy and double drop
sy Of the chest, accompanied with great
difficulty Of breathing and other dis.
tressing symptoms. Various remedies
had been taken without any apparent
benefit. DR.. Pautier then prescribed
the following treatment: Three cups of
milk porridge to be taken daily, each
to be followed by eating dry bread and
onion without any drink. This diet
was persevered in for thirty days, but
before half this time had elapsed the
patient was able to leave his bed. In
the following month nothing remain
ed but slight pufings of the feet and
ANGLES. A generous diet was then
prescribed, and in another month a
complete cure was effected.

ADJUDICATION OF ENGLISH BEER
The London Lancet publishes an arti-
Gle on the use of cocculus Indicus, We
ry bitter, acrid, narcotic poison in the
manufacture of ale and porter. The
quantity of beer consumed in England
is enormous, being now about 100000
00O,ooo gallons per year, and it is in
creasing at the rate of forty per cent.
every tea years. 1t is known that this
substance is used to stupefy fishes, SO
that they may easily be caught, and that
it acts very injuriously on the health;
but there is no direct proof that the
brewers use it, only it appeared that
last year $4,000 pounds were imported
from India, enough to drug 10000
tons of beer. And if it is not used for
this purpose the question is, what be-
comes of it? as it is not used at all in
medicines, nor in any other branch of
art or industry. The conclusion is that
the brewers use it secretly, and this
would explain the peculiar kinds of
headaches and mental diseases now SO
prevalent in England among the con-
sumers of certain kinds of beer. The
editor of the Lancet thinks that the
English Government ought to put a
heavy import duty on this highly in
furious drug, in order to prevent its
use
