A Russian Student

There is Russian student at Cornell
University. He is great admirer of
Benjamin Franklin, and is very aux-
ious to become thoroughly American
lied" He is perfectly correct in his de-
pertinent, and of a religious turn OF
mind; takes great interest in agricul-
tural studies, and is up regularly at his
books at ) A. NJ When he first arrived
his stove puzzled him considerably, but
he is now master of it. Noticing that
boots were placed at the doors of GER.
tain rosms at night (the Professors') he
concluded that it was the proper place
to place his own in 4 similar position.
His astonishment was great in the
morning to find that instead of being
neatly polished they had been filed
with water. This he took in the best OF
humor when he found that his boots
had been mistaken for water pitchers.
He seems highly amused at the tricks
of the students, and inclined to initiate
them.

The Mystery solved.

Tue cause of the my sterious red chalk
character, which we noticed in yester-
days Blade as having appeared upon the
doors of various residences in the city,
resulting in disturbance of the nery-
Ous organizations of some of the Occu-
pants, has teen satisfactorily explained.
Our informant states that during the
past two or three weeks poor, badly
crippled soldier has been going the
rounds of the town, and maintaining
life by the sale of photographs. His
mode of operations was to leave the pic
lures at the houses where he called,
and return in the course of a few days
10 receive his pay or take back the
property, and upon his second visit he
would erase the marks. Considering
Ineclrcumstances Ine of the case, the inno-
cent cause of alarm to many timid wo-
nieu III the city will doubtless be Tor
sen, even if he should hereafter be
u go; making his mark; and this solu-
;a '.oH VI the mystery will relieve the anx-
.G .Gu' iAlu'ts OF those who were dreading
tGe pyJ imagined horrors to come.-Toledo

A CoIored Man Predicts the ExfiEc-
ton of his Race

Mr.. Don Piatt writes to the Cincin
natl Commercial an account of conver'
sation with an intelligent delegate tc
! the Colored Convention recently in ses'
sion at Washington. He says he had
been slave in his youth, escaped long
before the war, in which he had taken
an active part, and had picked up, one
way and another, very good educa-
tion. l asked if he thought his people
would vote the Democratic ticket at
the South if the masters were disfran-
chised.
81 think not, sir" he replied; "they
are we'll organized, and getting better
enlightened every day."
"But the poor whites always voted
for the masters, and l believe,
continued, "that there is more
affection for the master on the
part of the colored man than there ever
was on the part of the poor white"
THAT is very true; but then the right
of suffrage is more precious privilege
to the black man than it ever was to the
poor white. He treasures it up with
almost religious veneration, and will he
careful to consult with his friends, and
bestow bis vote where it is best FIR him
self and his country"
"You say they are learning rapidly 7"
"Yes. There are two things q cOlored
man seeks for, above all others, at the
South. The one is to learn to read, and
the other to own the land he cultivates.
Yon'd be astonished to see men after
working hard all day walk five and six
miles to night school,"
lis it not the novelty of the affair,
that will wear off after a whileH"
~ think not, sir. OF course there is
some falling off, but this sort of thing
has gone on for some time, now, and at
this time the colored people are better
educated at the South than the whites
are"
you have right, then, to anticipate
bright future for your race ~
My friend paused moment, and then
said, sadly:
"No, sir. l have no bright anticipa-
tions. In few generations the colored
race of America will have disappeared.
We have taken the vices with the vir-
tues of the stronger race, and they are
fatal to uS."
uoh OicaIly 'uudcTstauu you.
well, sir, it is generally believed
that the black race is hardy race.
This is not so. The average duration
of lifes under the whip, on the planta-
tions, was only ten years. The supply
was kept up by the masters care in
breeding-it being his interest. New,
this is not the case, and while the NOR
tality continues through dissipation,
the increase through population has
fallen off painfully. On plantations,
and in neighborhoods, where before the
war, children swarmed almost, you
scarcely find one now."
why, how do you account for that !
What bscomes of the children ?"
"The mothers have learned from New
England how to kill them. You know,
sir, that New England is dying out for
lack of Yankees, and the poor colored
people have not been slow to learn. But
while the whites receive a fresh supply
from emigration, the colored race has
none"
