what else man requires in order TO gain any science
than TO know the twenty-four letter. Of the
alDhabet.n One of the great disadyantaees
under which young men OF our day abored was
that our day'f was day or very superficial acquire
ments, and the consequence was that we were very
superficial set OF people. Our day was day OF iui,
mense commercial concentration OF mind and there
could be question that the practical effect Of this
upon the rising generation was to narrow still fur
ther the opportunities which the young men might
have had OF making their early years years OF useful

In conclusion he adveisd young men to acquire

SHOCKING AFFAIR NEAR auHOoUr.
PoUGHKEEpsIE, Nov

POCdHKEEPsTE, NOV. II, 1903.
distressing AFFAIR occurred near Rondout day
or two ago by which boy named Mark Brown was
horribly burned and subsequently died. IL seems
that Brown and some other boys took some powder
from Gregorys quarry while the men were absent ct
dinner and the next day went to the veightburg to
nre or pistol. Brown had his pockets full Of
powder and while firing the pistol the powder
caught fire and he was In an instant one mass OF
flames.
The other boys ran away In terror, and he rolled
down hill into a lot where he was picked up by Q
Mr.. Treease. lie was horribly burned all over his
body some parts to cindcr. He soon after died.
AGED thirteen years.
Another dreadful accident occurred at High Falls,
near Rondout, by which boy from the latter place
named James Henry lost his life. He was stepping
from the towpath to O canal boat, when he missed
his footing and fell between the boat aud the wall.
He was crushed to death In an instant, his father
reaching the spot almost instantly but not until life
had ned. He was about twelve years OF age.

Stock of Sugar-Exports Stntistics-How
Much Went to the States.


The stock of sugar In this town is now about IT'S
thousand boxes. Tie returns Of export from all the
ports in Cuba only reach to September So ana from
these appears that the aggregate quantity of sugar
exported since January up to said period was as
foows-1 Sac, 600 boxes, against 1,2s8, 900 In 1857
and $4,000 hogsheads, against 100000 last year.
The shipments OF molasses were $4,000 hogsheads,
against 274, 900 last year.
or the 100000 tons of sugar exported this year
from the whole island to september 80 the United
States alone has taken 1871 900 tons; and OF the
600 Of molasses exported the United States
has taken Less than Ola, 900 tons. Nothing could
more clearly show the importance of the island OF
CUBA in ts relations to the United states than the
foregoing statement.

ROYAL PAY FOR NEGRO LEa1s1A-

ROYAL PAY FOR NEGRO LEaIs1A-
ToRs.-The negro Reconstruction
Convention of South Carolina forms
O high estimate of its services. The
Sambos who used to be glad to get
few dollars O month for working ON
the cotton or rice plantations, have
fixed their pay. as constitution max
ers, at eleven dollars o day and
twenty cents mileage. Our white
Congressman, who get eight dollars a
day, will envy these happy blacks.
When the darkies come to Congress
they will undoubtedly endeavor to
raise the dignity and emoluments of
our national legislators in the same
proportion. If negro member of a
State Convention be worth eleven
dollars o day, what ought a negro
Congressman to get? Thirty dollars
q day, at least. How astonished
these South Carolina negroes must
be with their extraordinary change of
fortune! They can hardly realize
whether they stand on their heads or
heels. To cap the climax of their
ridiculous presumption, they should
have proposed to pay the white mem
bers of the Convention half what
they get themselves; and that. after
all, would be only somewhat in pro-
portion to the estimate in which the
two races are held in the South just
now. A white man may be nearly
half as good as o negro. -
