Capacity of Colored People.

The following is an extract from letter
to a friend, from the Rev. E. r. Bower,
professor in the Lincoln. University, Ok
ford, Pa: ~ AE,Fl1(s kfLLIt
You are no doubt anxious to know
something about the capacity and deport-
-ment of the students Of course, do not
think the African superior to the Anglo
Saxon; but this must say, that find no
difference in their ability to acquire know,-
edge. | am now hearing class recite in
the Anabasis, who commenced Greek
about year ago, and they recite as well
as any class ever heard. And so with all
their studies. Their deep earnestness
enables them to accomplish wonders
sometimes. Last Wednesday one Of the
literary, societies celebrated its anniversary
with essays and oratlons, in the University
Chapel, and the performances were just as
good, both in manner and matter, as those
you generally hear from college students.
One of them, by the name of Grimkie,
who came here two years ago, just out of
slavery, was thrillingly, powerfully i'm
pressive.
; The University is very full, and did we
have accommodations, we might have
double the number. We have added three
more to the Faculty since L came here
CAST falD, so that we now have six pro-
fessors and two tutors.

No Health without vigor.

The wear and tear of life tells upon US all more

vital principle is the motive power that keeps the
human engine in motion; but as beams, pistons,
connection pipes, condensers and boilers wear
out, so do organs, muscles, tissues and all the
compound parts of that marvellous piece of work
called MAN. t. t.....f
The mechanism of the body requires to be re-
paired and strengthened just as much as the
mechanism employed to grind corn, or spin cot
ton, or weave cloth. Steam cannot five broken
shaft or impel drum or wheel that is out of
gear; neither can the vital force act through a
paralyzed limb, or an inert organ

any one Of your organs your stomach, liver,
bowels, nervous system, or any other essential
part OF your Organization, falters in its work? IT
SO, repair the damage with the most powerful, yet
harmless, OF invigorants, HOSTETTER'S STOM-
ACH BITTERS. Remember that debility is the
" Beginning of the End that the climax OF all

Of DEATH. ....-...--... ..-ts r,fssW oya-I

The Democratic National Plat
~. -~r r~rs~ form.

The Democrats in The Georgia Re
construction Convention declared, by
their votes and speeches on Thursday
| last: ~ - .i{|tl f-i
1st That the States have right to
secede.
I'd. That there is no such crime as trea.
son against the United States.
Sd. That Jefferson Davis is not traitor
4th. That Georgia has legal right 10
go out of the Union.
The necessary inference from these
premises is:
LIST. That the war was unconstitutional.
I'd. That the rebel armies were composed
of honorable men, defending their sacred
aud inalienable rights.
Sd. That the Union armies were COM
posed of murderers.
18th. That the national debt was illegally
incurred.
5th. That slavery is not lawfully abol-
ished.
These doctrines will constitute the basis
of the Democratic national platform
They are the doctrines which Geo. H
Pendleton has uniformally and consistent
ly maintained. They are the principles
for which the unrecenstructed whites
OF the South are everywhere contend
ing. To aid them in securing these
arights the Northern Democracy oppose
the reconstruction policy of Congress
A more comprehensive statement of the
issues of the campaign could not-casily be
made.
1t only remains to add that rebel SOL
dier, who had had one of his legs shot off,
and who believes that the war is ended,
made a speech in the convention denounc-
ing the Democratic party, and demanding
that the new constitution of Georgia
shall have clause declaring that seces-
sion is treason, and that future traitors
shall be punished with death The trea-
son clause was carried by strict party

EEaMEklinss Wife.

To promote ber husbands interests, she
attended in his little shop, where she
bought rags, sewed pamphlets, folded
newspapers, and sold the few articles in
which he dealt, such as ink, papers, lamp
black, blanks and other stationery. AT
the same time she was an excellent house
keeper, and besides being economical her
self, taught her somewhat careless and dis
orderly husband to be economical also.
Sometimes, Franklin was clothed from
head to foot in garments which his wife
had woven and made, and for q long time
she performed all the work of the house
without the assistance of servant.
Nevertheless, she knew how to be liberal
at proper times. Franklin tells us that
for, some years after his marriage, his
breakfast was bread and milk, which they
ate out OF two-penny earthen vessel,
with pewter spoon but one morning,
on going down to breakfast, he found
upon the table beautiful china bowl,
from which hisl bread and milk was
steamipg, with silver spoon by its side,
which had cost Gum equal in our cur
rency to $40. When he expressed his as
constituent at this unWonted splendor,
Mrs. Franklin only remarked that she
thought her husband deserved silver
spoon and china bowl as much as any of
his neighbors.
Franklin prospered in his business until
he became the most famous editor and
most tlourishing printer in America, which
gave him the pleasure of relieving his
wife from the cares of business, and en-
abled him to provide for her a spacious
and wellfurnished abode She adorned a
high station as well as she had borne a
lowly one, and presided at her husbands
liberal table as gracefully as when he ate
his breakfast of bread and milk from two
penny bowl.-Parton's Life Of Franklin.

NEGROES WILL WoRK.-A Mississippi
paper reports, with an air of great sur
prise, that the negroes who, year ago,
could hardly be induced to work, are now
seeking employment, displaying unusual
uneasiness in the matter. To our view
this Is most natural and hopeful indica-
ton. 1t was to be expected that in the
first flush of freedom there should be dis
Inclination TO labor. Necessity, however,
has dispelled some of the delusions which
naturally obtained a place in their notions
OF independence, and the sober reality
that all must work mas come to them. The
disappointment at the discovery will soon
give place to satisfaction at the thought
that while they must work they are work
ing for themselves, and that tIeir reward
will be propoTticned to their skill and
faithfulness. Those who have Thoroughly
learned this lesson must make good citi.

,Ehe Style Of Southern .Bour-
siazfsln.

The measure OF abuse poured out upon
General Meade by the Georgia papers is
heaped Up and OVERLOOKING, The treat
ment of General Pope was comparatively
mild. This denunciation was made stronger
by contrast with the language held by the
same Journals two or three GAYS before
the announcement of the removal of Gov
ernor Jenkins. They had somehow got
the impression that General Meade was a
conservative in politics, as indeed he may
be for aught we knew, and would adopt
General Hancock's course in the admins
tration of his department., which is not,
however, a necessary sequence of con-
serVatism in politics. At all events, under
the impression that he would act in the
Third as Hancock in the Fifth District,
they ran a steady stream of compliment
and adulation, in as bad taste as their later
outbreak of vituperation and defamation.
"The first time Meade opened his mug"
says the Georgia Sun, "we knew what
was coming. We felt assured that Presi-
dent johnson was swindled when he trad
ed knave for an ass, And so on for
quantity. Men, with these. intense Jour-
nails, are like the heroes and heroines of
hot novels, either superlatiycly good or
superlativeiy wicked. They praise with
out knowledge, and abuse without judg-
ment They give full rein to their pas
sions, and very little play to their reason.
Full of the malignant hUmors that In
fluenced them in 1861, when they
denounced the President elect as an ape,
a fool and tyrant, though knowing
nothing definite concerning him, and
tainted the Northern people as con-
temptiblerace of towards who could not
be provoked to fight, they seem not to have
proited by bitter experience, but are as
recklessly at work to incite instruction
now as rebellion then If the people
were to follow their lead, and to their in
sanity Of suggestions add the folly of &C
ton, it is not probable tn y would como
out of the conflict thus engendered with
the impunity, that now enables them to
denouuce and deiame whoever does not
fatter their prejudices and minister to
their insolent demands. - Cincinnati Com

ALCOHOLIC DRINKs.-The manufacture
OF alcoholic drinks, under its various de.
signations, has been reduced to a com
plete science, and the expert manufacturer
with whisky as a basis, is now able to pro
duce the most astonishing results Even
the staple itselfis nothing but villainous
compound, Strychnine, red pepper and
sulphuric acid are the most common in
gradients in what is generally sold as
whisky. New York manufacturers, by
skillful manipulation, turn out annually
5000 more bottles OF champagne than
are produced in all the champagne districts
of Europe? BY passing coil of whisky
through carbon, Madeira is made at a
profit of 800 per cent. which few can tell
from the genuine, and with good reason.
With neutral spirits, or even with whis-
ky, vinegar, sulphuric acid, beet root, and
copperas, which is to produce the proper
astringency, port wine can be made of
equally deceptive quality, and so on with
all other descriptions of wine. 1t has
been stated that New York city annually
manufactures delectable stimulants to

writes terribly from behind his lady's

manner. The editor evidently thinks he
has the "petticoat protection" copy
righted, and we presume his anxious cred

The editors ability is undoubted we
give the following from his "terms Of
