THE FREEDMEN.-Th The Rev. I'll. A.
Sizer, who has for many years proved
himself the true friend to the colored
people, is now in Rutland and will re-
main for day or two, to raise some funds
for the consolidated American Educa-
tional Convention" "a strong, energetic
and economical institution, oficered and
managed chiefly by able and literally
educated colored men, and operating prin-
cipally in the South, through teachers
and missionaries of their own nationality.
He has the sanction and cordial co-opera-
tion of a large number of clergymen and
other prominent men of this and neigh
boring States, and it is hoped his mission
will prove eminently successful, as he is
generously giving six months gratuitous
service to this good work, and the schools
must be maintained, and the missionaries
assisted in their noble work.

SCRIPTURAL SoLACE FOR TOBACCO
CoNsUMERs.-ElderF F, of Walling-
ford, who, by the way gives and takes a
joke with relish, worthy of Bucher,
or any other divine that thinks a hearty
laugh not impious, the other day on the
Saratoga train, was expostulating with a
young friend of his against the bad habit
OF using tobacco, urging him to discon-
Llnae the practice. The young man
grayely informed the minister that he mao
"Soriptural reason for continuing it."
"Scriptural reason" said the Elder,
chow is that ?"
The young man quoted, "He that is
filthy let him be filthy still"
The Elder was forced to admit that the
quotation was correct and perfectly ap-
plicable.

BEATEN ALL ARoUND.-At the race
on Thursday for three year olds, the
Wells colt, four years old, was smuggled
in, but sustained an ignominous defeat in
being distanced the first heat. Some talk,
of course, grew out of the defeat, and on
Thursday evening match be-
tween it and A. III. Danforth's three year
old colt "Trollope" was made, for $40 a
side. Yesterday morning the wager was
decided by scrub race on the Rutland
Driving Park, in which the Wells animal
was again second best, large gap of day
light being visible between him and
Trollope.

The Mellow Morn.


The broad summer sunbeams fill nature with JOY
To the stars bend often the knee;
But naught speaks more tender and true to IN!
Than the soft, mellow morn on the sea.
For on that sweet image are feelings impressed,
How sacred and precious to me!
| Oh no. naught in nature speaks more to my heart
Than the soft, mellow morn on the sea.
How oft have I sat, summer ewes, on the shore,
With the surf stars all cleaning in glee;
And whispered low words with one who could list
With the soft, mellow morn on the
Oh, youths golden etluence gladdened me then
All sorrows but touched me to flee;
And, save her 1 loved, there was naught more
divine
Than the soft, mellow morn en- the sea.
Though now all the heart 5 hallowed pleasures are
locked,
And the jailer, dull Care, holds the key;
Fond memory picture, save her, naught so sweet
As the soft, mellow morn on the sea.
Oh, the spring brings the bird to the blossom
again,
And its rich leaty robe to the tree;
But naught brings my youth, and its feelings so
As the soft, mellow morn on the sea.

He was former resident of this place,
and the father of Hon. Amasa Bishop,
editor of the Masonic Mirror, San Fran

Your correspondent returns his
thanks to "J. G. w." of ,Danby, for his
corrections of the article in last weeks
HERALD. Part of the mistakes were the
correspondence and part the proof read
ers. In return l would say to ~. G. W.
that he is mistaken in regard to the " big
word" In my copy of Webster's diction-
ary page TAI, l find the words, [" Klepto-
mania: morbid impulse or desire to
steal; species of insanity with propen-
-ity to steal; propensity to thievishness."
[ like still better definition l have in an |
old dictionary "Kleptomania a species |
of insanity with a propensity to steal'
The word has long been used in judicial |
and medical psrlance, more especially in |
criminal courts; and it expresses kind |
of disorder of the brain that is as distinct
and positive as any mental disease. Per-
sons of all stations in life have been af. |
flicted with this disease. Persons SO af- |
ficted often steal articles for which they
have no possible use, and quite often the |
person is SO situated that he has no need
to steal, being in afHuence. The informa-
tion I had of the Dandy case led me to
class it as specimen Of the disease, klep-
tomania.

Area Of Wheat Lands.

Returns TO the Department of Agri-
culture during January, indicate a
decrease in the acreage of winter wheat
in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New
York, New England, and the cotton belt.
The decrease in Illinois is six per
cent; in Michigan, six in Indiana and
New York, five. The area in California
is nearly the same as last year, and little
difference is reported from Ohio, Wis
consin, Minnesota and Missouri. Kan
sas has increased her acreage very large
ly, and Arkansas, Kentucky and Wis
consln have also made a material in
crease. The acreage of other winter
grains IS reduced slightly.
The reports of the condition of winter
wheat are no generally favorable. In
the ONO Valley the reduction below an
average appearance ut this period of the
year ranges from six to twenty per cent;
IN wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, Texas
ana California an average condition is
indicated. In most of the remaining
States the appearance of the plant is COM
pAratively unprOmising. The PROBABLE
tiles at present are opposed to the pros
pect of another year of marked product
i~venesS.
An increased se-eage Of barley IS re-
ported from Kentucky, Missouri, Indi-
ana, Wisconsin and Kansas. Its condi-
ton Is little better than that of wheat.
throughout the Ohio Valley and the
Northwest the reduction is represented
10 De thirteen per cent. in Missouri,
