NO CASTE IN PITTSBuRG.
COLORED CHILDREN ADMITTED INTO THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Some time ago the School Board
of the Fourteenth Ward, Pittsburg,
Pa, held special meeting, at which
it was agreed to admit colored chill
dren into the public schools of that
district. The following viii detail
the circumstances which led to de-
finite action on the subject, by the
Board, as reported by the PiaSmy
Gazette.
A colored man had several times
applied to each of the members of
the Board, excepting Mr.. Arthurs
who was absent, for a permit for
his children to attend the sessions
of the school, and was refused in
each case. When Mr.. A. returned
he waited upon him, for the same
purpose, INFORMING him of his re-
fusal from the others. Mr.. Arthurs.
however, gave him the permit, and
the meeting was called for the pur-
pose of revoking that action, as well
as censuring Mr.. Arthurs for the
same. Upon Mr.. Arthurs explana-
ton of the circumstances, it was
agreed that he had not intended to
slight the Board, by granting the
permit after their refusal, and
therefore, that he was not deserving
of censure. It was then moved that
the permit be revoked. Although
the four members of the Board, at
first seemed to favor this action be-
foIe the vote was taken. two Of
them came over to the side of Mr..
Arthurs and the motion was lost.
The children are now attending the
school.

kEEPiNG FLCuR IN BARRELS.

1t has been observed that -four
stored in barrels becomes impaired
in quality sooner than when kept
in bags. According to the research
es Of DR.. Pollock, a German chemist,
ibis deterioration first becomes ap-
parent in the shape of q peculiar
musty or mouldy odor or sour re-
action IN tie part of the -four; and
where these are present the gluten
will be found to have changed
from an insoluble to q soluble
form, whereby its capability. for
making good dough is lost. The
cause of these changes is ascribed
to the want of a sufficient circula-
ton of air through the mass of
the -four kept in barrels, the inner
most -four in which is always found
TO be most sour and the part which
yields the strongest odor.

AdrOitly Hit.

A correspondent of the Herald
and Preb.fer, writing from Min
nesota, tells the following: Il have
picked up "a little story which 1
think too good a reproof for dis
turbers of the peace in churches to
be lost. A presiding elder of the
United Brethren Church was
preaching in this same neighl Or
hood, and was much annoyed by
persons talking and laughing. He
paused, looked at the disturbers,
and said, 4 am always afraid to
reprove those who misbehave in
church. In the early part of uy
ministry I made a great mistake.
AS | was preaching, young nan
who sat just before me was con-
stantly laughing and making un-
couth grimaces. paused and ad-
ministered severe rebuke. After
the close of the service, one of the
official members came and said to
me, 'Brotber--, you made a
great mistake. That young man
whom you reproved is an idiot
Since then l have always been
afraid to reprove those who misbe-
have in church, lest 1 should repeat
that mistake, and reprove another
idiot. During the rest of that SER
vice, at least, there was good order"

FREE 0PIyI0Y.

The following excellent article we
copy from one of our exchanges,
and earnestly recommend our
readers to read it, and ponder well
on the truths read it, and ponder
well on the truths it contains:
"FREEDoM OF OPISIoN.-NO coun-
try can be free and prosperous, un-
less every citizen feels secure in the
utterance of his political and reli-
gious sentiments, inside of the law.
There is no more sense in individu-
ais holding diverse political notions
letting that fact cause personal dis
sentions than there is in persons
quarreling because they belong to
different churches. A free govern
ment, like our own, is based upon
the fullest liberation of sentiment
in regard to political matters. 4
citzen who would prescribe or os-
tracise an other Tor holding opinions
differing from Lis own, is not fit to
be free himself. If he had the
power he would be despot, and
Danish, imprison or guilotine bis
opponents as is done in France. A
man that has not moral courage
enough to utter and to act out, by
voting lis honest convictions in re-
gard to this or that party, is to be
pitied. He should remember, 1T is
Il base abandonment of reason to
abandon our fight of thought and
of action also"

nEThe great want of this age is
men. Men who are not for sale.
Men who are honest, sound from
centre to circumference, true to the
hearts core. Men who will con-
denim in friend or foe, in themselves
as well rs others. Men who con-
sciences are as steady as the needle
to the pole. Men who will stand
for the right if the heavens totter
and the earth reels. Men who can
tell the truth and look the world
and the devil right in the eye. Men
that neither brag nor run. Men
that neither flag nor finch. Men
who can have courage without
to it. Men in whom the
courage of everlasting life runs
deep and strong Men too large
for sectarian bonds. Men who do
not cry nor cause their voices to be
heard on the streets, but who will
not fail nor be discouraged till
judgment be set in the earth. Men
who know their places and fill
them. Men who mind their own
business. Men who will not lie.-
Men who are not too lazy to work,
nor too proud to be- poor. Men
who are willing to eat what they
have earned, and wear what they
have earned, and wear what they
have paid for. -

FREDERICK DOUGLASS.
By HON. HENRY WILSON.

While the free colored people in,
stinctively distrusted the Colonial.
ton Society, and withheld their con.
fidence from it. they at once and
heartily accepted the abolition
movement. This was especially
true of the more intelligent and
well-informed. Among the colored
ministers there were several who
seeing its religious as well as hu-
name bearings, rendered essential
aid to the cause. A few others did
something in the same direction,
arousing public attention and quick
ening the zeal of the frieuds of free
dom. But in 1871 a champion
arose in the person of Frederick
Douglass, who was destined to play
an important port in the great
drama then in progress. In him
not only did the colored race, but
manhood itself find a worthy re-
preventative and advocate; one who
was a signal illustration not only of
self-culture and success under the
most adverse circumstances, but of
the fact that talent and genius are
"color blind" and above the acci-
dents Of complexion and birth. He.
too, furnished an example of the ter
rible necessities of slavery, and its
purpose and power to crush the
human soul; as also of the benign
energies of freedom to arouse, to
develop, and enlarge its highest and
noblest faculties; the one aiming,
and, he says, almost succeeding in
making him a mere mindless and
purposeless chattel; the other actu-
ally and indissolubly linking his
name and labors with the anti-slav-
cry cause, in both this country and
IN Europe. As few of the worlds
great men have ever had so check
cred and diversified a career. 80 Il
may be- at least plausibly claimed
that no man represents in himself
more conflicting ideas and interests.
Frederick Douglass was torn on
the Eastern Shore, Maryland, about
the year 1917. According to the
necessities of slavery and the. usual

FRENCH NEWS.

The horrors of the old rAyolutiOns1
when' streets ran red with blood, arc
about to be re-enacted in Paris. Ignoblc
men, infatuated by the vilest passions
devoid of reason, fanatics with unbri-
died desire for vengeance, and wretches
profanely prcfixing the word "patriots "
to their names, are destroying all chances
of the prevalence of peace and harmony,
while the government is in the hands Of
the strongest mobs. The bastile, the
guillOtine and the infamous career of
Robepierre are to be eclipsed by the i'm
pending revolutions in Paris, and only
some mastcr-spirit can restore the pris-
tine lustre attached to the French name.
Republicanism seems to be farce in
France, and as its people cannot govern
themselves some liberal monarchial form
of government must prevail. Civic and
military leaders are striving for SOW
creignty, having in view personal exal-
tation rather than the true good of their
country.
Among the many men that arc daily
being sacrificed in Paris, ain the name
of liberty" we notice the names Of the
gallant Lecompte and Thomas. Others,
true, tried and devoted wholly to their
loved France, sre being killed while in
the discharge Of honest duty. God Of
nations, avert tirese dire blows, and strike
these Hoody-thirsty assassins low before
their knives be drawn to take innocent
blood!

all, when an United States Senator from
Wisconsin. He expected, among many
others, to get his bread and butter from
the Johnson crowd, but for some reason
he was eschewed by that political party,
and when his term of Office expired, hav-
ing become satisfied that the price of his
proselytism was the burial Of all his flu
ture political hopes in his own State, he
went to Chicago and engaged upon the
practice of the law, where he ranks as a
third-class lawyer. The democracy seem
to have a special delight in patching up
"the worn out garments" Of the Repub-
lican party. There are many others OF

GLORIA IN EXCELSIS !!

On Tuesday last there came telegram
from Messrs. Prescott and Philips, now
at Washington, to d. W. Powers & Co. of
this city,in which it was stated that Presi-
dent Grant had signed the order for the
removal of the q. s. land Office from juno
ton City to Salina. This is most wei
come news, and no one can estimate the
inoalculable benefits to be derived from
SO invaluable an acquisition to Salina and
Saline county. Our trade and every
branch ofindustry will receive an add,
tional impctrs, and the settler will be freed
from exorbitant railroad fare and long
miles of travel to and from the land Of.
fee. The people should rejoice with ex-
cceding great joy, and they will. Who
merits the credit of this move we have
not vet learned. No doubt Col. Philips,
onr distinguished townsman, deserves
= good share of it, yet the fact has often
been alluded to by many public men
.nd the Congressional delegation have
found from showing and figures that ap-
pear upon the census rolls that Salina
possesses advantages for the location Of
this office in which no place in West
tern Kansas can compete with her.
We congratulate our people upon our
good fortune in securing this institution.
Let the bells be sounded; let the people
sing of It, and may the joyful news make
all merry.

fuE uRRALD-S EXTRA.

The "show-bill" extra issued by the
Herald on Tuesday last docs not add inn
portance to the originator of the same.
The attack on Hon. Sidney Clarke {" that
he is no longer in power" &c., was un-
Just. The friends of Mr.. Clarke were as
joyful over the good tidings, and had
been as instrumental in getting the land
Office removed from Junction City to
this place, as his enemies. We certainly
think friend Hanna would not have al
lowed such circular to originate in his
office, ifhe had been in town. His good
sense would not allow a partisan spirit to
enter into our rejoicing over an enter
prise of public benefit in which VIC are
one and all interested alike, through his
instrumentality. A certain "-rowdy set
of narrow-minded, bigoted and unprinci-
pied politicians made themselves ridicu-
lous in declaiming about their effectively
efforts in securing the removal Of this Of
fee, and have flung at Mr.. Clarke their
loud-mouth gatherings. This gentleman
towers majestically above their pigmy
attacks, and probably will survive the
futile efforts of these small politicians to
completely annihilate him. These jawy
vultures claims to have the lever power OH
Kansas politics, but their littleness is ex'
posed at every turn. They howl and
pirate loudly about the unity and harmo
mony that ought to prevail among the
Republicans of Saline county, while they
secretly work for such an union as only
will come to the aid of their selfish and
unmanly purposes. They try to make
their living by politics, and when hon
est voters cast them off, like Othello
their occupation is gone. They have nc
love for our county or its best interests
The old quotation L" parurinnt monies mas.
citur ridiculus mus is just dsseffptiQn
of their style of faction.
These whining parasites in their pur
suit of official position would bow the
knee to the rising star of even Sidney
Clarke, two years hence, and would be
the first to cry cruelty him should that
star BY any chance be dimmed.
