bW A SENTIMENTAL PuzzLER.-
The Chicago Tribune thinks it
would be acurious problem for a
woman to find out from mankind
what is really expected of her. Man
adores helplessness, and says it is
ruinous to him. He talks about
economy and raves over spend
thrifts.
He decries frivolity and runs
away from brains. He pines after
his grandmother, who could make
pies, and falls in love with white
hands that can't. He moans over
weakness and ridicules strength.
He condemns fashion, theoreti-
cally and the lack of it practically.
He longs for sensible women
and passes them by ON the other
side. He worships saints and
sends them to converts. He des-
pises pink and white women and
marries them if he can. He abu-
ses silks and lacees and talks them
into his heart. He glorifies spirit
and independence and gives cruel
thrust at the little vines that want
to be oaks, What would the
critical lords desire

Lincoln Institute.

The following preamble and reso.
lutions were introduced at the Ma.
tional Convention in this city, by Mr.
o. L. G. Hughes, and were referred
to the business committee. The
committee reported upou them fa-
vorably. and they were unanimous
ly adopted:
WHEREAS, Lincoln Institute in a
great measure owes it origin to the
hberality and aspirations of colored
soldiers, and whereas, said inititu-
ton, excludes no applicants on &C.
count of race or color or religion.
Therefore resolved, That we rejoice
in the success it has already actiev-
ed; that we trust the present effort
for a new and larger endowment NAV
be successful, and that every state
may follow in the opening Of Nor
NAL schools. wherein all without re-
gard to race or color may be admit
ted.-Miss. Weekly Pilot.

Personal Recollections," mentions
the negro dialect which SO generally
characterized the speech of the pub

Henry Clay's speaking, he says, was
strongly marked by ii. James NJ.
Mason, Of Virginia, seemed to de-
light in the African accent. But
there was no better speci-
men than the late Thomas H. Bay
ley, for many years the Representa-
tives in Congress of Accomac dis
trict. He was o man of considera-
ble force and education, and I can
easily recall his tall form, his ex-
pressive face and ringing voice. as,
spectacles on his noes, he would ad-
dress the Mr.. Speakah,' and refer
to the honorable member who has
Just had the Ao." Keitt, of South
Carolina, had the same accent and
pronunciation. So, too, Linn Boyd,
OF Kentucky, and Howell Cobb, of

NEVER FoReEr what a man has

national DElTs OF THE WoRLp
An English publication relative
to national debts has just been re-
ceived by Hon. r. T. Taylor, First
Comptroller of the Treasury, from,
the author, r. Dudley Baxter, N. A.,
who. in an accompanying letter, re-
turns his thanks to Mr.. Taylor for
assistance furnished him in prepar-
ing his work. It gives a brief sum-
mary of the history, amounts, and
results of the national debts of the
world; the national capital borrow
ed by each nation; the annual inter-
est of such, and charge per head of
the population; the real pressure
and burden of the debts on their re-
sources; the economical effects of
national debts and the question of
their reduction.
1t gives table showing the Feder-
al debt of the United States alone,
from 1886 to 1870, by which it is
seen that tie annual charge in 1865
was four million sterling more than
that of England, and in 1870 one
million less, while the charge per
head In 1865 was about the same
as that Of England, but in 1870 it
was Is. Sd. less. He states that it
is remarkable that young nation
like the United States should have
paid off in a little less than five
years nearly R9O,OOO,0OO of capital
D. twenty-eight millions more than
the reduction of Great Britain in
The fifty-fve years since 1915, and
should have reduced the interest

FREDERICK DOUGLASS.
BY HON. HENRY WILSON.
(COntinued from our last.

lSOutiuueO uOm our last.
In the conflict for freedom o.
speech and the right of free dis.
cussion AbolitiOnists had achieved
a victory. What they had con-
tended for had, at length, been con
ceded ut least, the principle was
no longer contested. They had
conquered q peace but their op-
ponents were determined it should
be the peace of the grave. For the
wordy warfare of discussion and
the brutal violence of lynch laws
would substitute the policy of ne
glect. To let them severely alone,
to belittle their cause, to pass them
by with supercilious sneer, and
frown contemptuously upon their
attempts to gain hearing, became
now the tactics of the enemies
against the advocates of human
rights. OF course, what were
termed anti-slavery measures had
lost much of their zest and poten-
cy meetings became less numer-
ously attended, and, consequently,
less frequent ; organizations, losing
their interest and effectiveness, be-
gan to die out. Something was
necessary to revive and reanimate |
the dropping spirits and the Ian
guild movements of the cause and
Its friends. 1t was then, at this
moment, while they were
thus enveloped in the chill and
shade OF this most uncomfortable
and unsatisfactory state of affairs
the young fugitive appeared upon
the stage. He seemed like a mes
senger from the dark land of slave
ry itself ; as if in his person his
race had found a fitting advocate :;
as If through his lips their long
pent-up wrongs and wishes had
lound q voice. No wonder that
Nantucket meeting was greatly
moved. It would not be strange if
