Every step the negroes take
seems to be the one that leads
most directly toward their utter
destruction. In the friendship of
the white nlan, South, they had
one chance of a respectable exist
tence but they spurned; it with
seorn.. In industry they had s
refuge from ruin but they neglecs
ted it with contemptuous seorn;
and will starve. In many ways,
salvation for their race has been
within their reach but they have
rejected every one with a high
hand and an out-stretched arm.
They have rejected the profered
cooperation of the white race

The Sailor and the Actress.

"When I was e poor girl" said
the duchess Of St. Albans, "work.

week, I went down to Liverpool
during the holidays, where 1 was
kindly received. I was to per-
form in a new place, a pretty hit
tie affecting drama; and in my
character I represented a poor,
friendless orphan girl, reduced to
the most wretched poverty. A
heartless tradesman prosecute the
sad heroine for heavy debt, and
insists on putting her in prison,
unless some one will be bail for
her. The girl replies, "Then l
have no hope, I have not friend

one be bail for you to save you
from prison asks the stern
creditor. II have told you I have
not a friend on earth was my re-
ply. But just as I was utterng
the words, I saw a sailor in the
upper gallery springing over the
railing, letting himself down from
one tier to another, until he
bounded clear over the orchestra
and foot-lights, and placed himself
beside me in a moment. s'Yes,

The New York correspondent
ofthe Louisville Democrat writes !:
a fashionable wedding, on a new
plan, came off at Zion Church, in
the Fifth Avenae, this morning.
The bride is the daughter of q
wealthy and well known iron
founder, who returns an income of
s20e, 600 per annum, and the bride
groom, the son of an Exchange
Place broker, wealthy also. The
services were entirely choral. Bish-
op Southgate intoned the pray ers,
and even the question, aWilt thou
take this woman, " etc., ETC., was
drawled out in the same monotone.
The effect was fudicrous, rather
than solemn, and one or two Of the
gushing bridesmaids could not
restrain from Laughing right out
at it. The choir got tupa gorgeous
<'processionain and occasional
for the occasion, and, for the delec-
taticn ofthe happy pair, and the
lookers-on, threw in all the fancy
music, from Mendelssohn down to
0fenbach. - =

The Efficiency Of the plymouth
Fire Department Practically
(yAn 4 al cred

Mr.. EDITOR-The citizens Of this town
have had another exhibition Of the eff
cheney, or rather proficiency, Of the
Plymouth fre-department. The instance
I refer to is that of the burning of Adams
& Zehner's machine shop, last Saturday
night. The alarm was given Immediately
after the building caught fire, and the
fire engine was on the ground, and placed
in position for operation in time to have
extinguished the fire in three minutes, if
the estimate Of some present be taken as
correct; Gm the machine rould not rork,
and the owners of the burning property
had the satisfaction of seeing their earn
ings consumed at the rate of five thous-
and dollars per hour, when proper care
and efficiency on the part of the fire de-
partment would have prevented their loss
from being over one hundred dollars.
This is bat REPETITION of the scene enacted
two years ago, when the fire could have
been confined to WoOdwards brick, in
stead of burning over the entire length
of the block, if he engine had been in
working order. and properly managed.
The citizens of this town have paid some
thousands of dollars to properly equip the
fac department, and are of course desi-
rous of knowing why such poor use is
made of their money. The writer hereof
has no ill-feeling toward the fire depart
ment, or the members of it; but, on the
contrary, is DESTROYS that they may prove
themselves worthy of the confdene here
tofore reposed in them by the people OF
Plymouth. / do not. think the fremcn Of
Plymouth desire to be praised unless such
praise is called forth by meritorious con
duct.
Hoping that this may lead to an inves
tigation of the cause of the failure above
alluded to, and the fremen and citizens
be benefited thereby, 1 remain yours, 60
