A MIsER Dies COUNTING HIS
MoNEY.-Wc learn from Gen. Mil
Ter, one of the mostpopular of the mem
bcrs of the Board of Supervisors, the
particulars of the death of rich
bcggar in the village Of Grecnbush,
named frederick w. Rowhl, which
exceeds in dramatic interest anything
VIC have read in long time. Rowhl
came to Grcenbush few weeks ago
clothed in rags, thin, cmaciated, and
apparently half starved, looking the
very picture of poverty and wrctched-
ness. His appearance was enough to
excite sympathy and charity of every
bcholdcr. He was an oldman, bent
with age, his hair was whitcncd with
the frosts of many winters; sorrow,
poverty and misery had evidently
been his companions through life. The
miserable wretch secureds room in
a tenement house in the village, and
was there attended for time by a
charitable lady, who brought him
food and otherwise administered to
his wants. Almost every day the old
man would beg in the streets, and
with such good fortune that as often
as he sought aims he returned to his
howell with wellfilled pockets. Nothing
was known by the villagers ofthel elhisto-
ry oft old beggar, but it was suppos-
ed by all that he was what he seemd to
be to relieve the distress of 4 fellow

moro than week ago, the old maN
disappeared. The door ofhis room was
fastened, and even the kind lady who
had given him food knew nothing of
his whereabouts. Thus matters went
on until Dec. Is, when the landlord,
who had allowed Rowhl to occupy a
room in his tenement, concluded to
burst open the door, little supposing
however that in so doing he would
come upon the corpse of the old beg.

FRED. DOUGLAS TO HIS People
In q late speech at Akron, Ohio,
Fred. Douglas, addressing the coli
orcd people, told them that the Gov
ernmcnt cmancipatcd the negroes as
a matter of policy, and not from any
Christian motive Of right or justieea
and that they had no more reason to
be thankful to the Government for
their freedom than had the Hebrews
to feel thankful to Pharaoh for their
deliyerance from bondage. Douglas
said that although it was possible
that, naturally, the colored men were
equal to tue whites, they were not so
practically, and that they must rise
through their own excrtions to a
much higher degree Of intelligence
before being allowed all the rights
and privileges of the white man. lie
added, that they were Row on proba.
ton, and if fifteen years hence found
them as they now are, it would be
almost impossible for them to make
any advancement. Perhaps this adj
vice from an Intelligent colored risn
may be received by his race as tie
counsel of friend. It is certain
that the competition against which
they will have to contend for the
means of support, must increase, by
immigration, every year, whilst they
can rely on no such addition to their
numbers, but must make up for the
inequality by increased eficlency.-
The ignorant and degraded, of what
ever color, must always be subject to
superior intelligence, and it behoorcs
the colorcd people to reflect whether
these arc their true friends who would
plunge them into politics without pre-
vious preparation and training, or
those who would help to fit them, as
faras may be accomplished, for the
discharge hereafter of such duties as
may dcyolye upon them. ~.
