brilliant crowd, ]. II. Harris, a negro
delegate from North Carolina TO the
Chicago Convention, attempted 70
play a leading part. He was intro
duced to Grant, Colfax and others,
but none Of them seemed TO know
brother Harris. lie was lelt solitary
and alone in one room, at one time
during the evening, while all the rest
Of the party were in another, and
remained unnoticed in this solitary
condition. II was observed that
neither Grant nor Colax, save at
the introduction, took any notice oi
Harris during the entire evening.
Nor did Generals Hawley or Logan,
or any Of the large radical guns,
deign to notice this practical innovs-
ton Of black upon white. Harris
finally retired unhouored and an.

Grant and Negro Suffrage.

General Grant has heretofore de-
clared against negro sufsage. He is
now running on the platform which
says the principle is good enough for
the South and bad for the North.
But the following extract from the
speech Of Senator Doolittle, delivered
at Milwaukee, October, 1866, shows
where he professed to stand on the
subject of negro Suffrage six months
after the close Of the war: q
"The other day when General
Grant was here, spending several
hours with him in free conversation
on this subject among others, he ex-
pressed to him the same opinion.
Said I, General Grant, / never quote
private conversation without express
permission. Am l permitted to state
what you now state to me?' Said he,
Certainly; there is no concealment on
my part And he stated to me in
the conversation that a considerable
portion Of the troubles between the
whites and blacks that had already
occurred was in consequence Of 1.-The
unwise attempt to force negro suf-
frage in those States. He said further,
that If the Federal Government
were to attempt to do il and enforcs
il, it would undoubtedly produce wal
between the two races there"

LADIES BooTs.-The Philadel-
phia Telegraph says;
"The only real revolution in fash
ion is the startling innovation in
boots. Instead Of the iuvariable
to which we have been accustomed, a
mandate as severe as those before
which Media and Persia trembled,
has pronounced, under the terrible
punishment Of being "behind the
time" that the ladies must be robed
cap a pie in the same color, or rather
that the boot must harmonize in hue
with the rest Of the costume. Thus,
if the robe be trimmed with gold OF
silver, the boot becomes also appa.
rently a solid casing Of these precious
metals. Kid and morocco are man.
ufactured in all the tints that arr
used in street suits, from the color Of
the sky above the ladies' heads to the
hue of the dust beneath their feet.
The same style of their very high
boot, buttoned at the side, with q
high heel, Is also the exact costum,
for the ball room, and in obedienc,
to the same rule of uniformity are te
be had in bronze, pink, blue, and
other high and light colors, As well
rs in all the gorgeousness Of silver
and gold."

7. AMONG THE SHAKERs.-Among
the rules posted in the Office IF ho-
tel in aShaker village in New Hamp-
shire is the following:
married persons tarrying with us
over night, are respectfully notified
that each sex occupy separate sleep
ing apartments while they remain"
Some time since newly married
couple, on a little bridal trip, visited
the Shakers. The evening was spent
10 talk-bed time came-and the
couple were invited to sleep.
They passed out Of the office, up
stairs, there saw two sober-faced
Shakers, a brother and a "sister," /"
each with 4 candle.
"Men to the left, ;" said the brother,
and into a room he escorted the
bridegroom.
"women to the rightp as quietly
said the sister, and into a separate
room the bride was ushered-the
newly made man and wife separating
without even 4 goodnight kiss.

The MIXTURE OF RAcEs.-Agas.
siz, in his lately published work on
Brazil, has the following on the mix
ture Of races:
Let any one who doubts the evil
of this mixture philanthropy to break
down the barrier between them, come
to Brazil. He cannot deny the de-
terioration consequent upon an ANAL
gamation Of races, more widespread
here than in any other country in the
world, and which is rapidly effacing
the best qualities Of the white man,
the negro and the Indian, leaving a
mongrel nondescript type, deficient
in physical and mental energy. AT
time when the social status Of the
negro is subject Of vital import
ance in our craftsmanship, we should
profit by the experience Of country
where, though slavery exists, there is
far more liberality toward the free
negro than he has ever enjoyed 10
the United States. Let us learn the
double lesson; open all the advan-
tages Of education to the negro, and
give him every chance Of success
which culture gives to the man who
knows how to use it; but respect the
laws Of nature, and let all our deal
ings be to prevent an amalgamation
Of the races.
