The colored people of the Southern
States have called Convention to meet the
list day of October next. The object is to
consider the social and political condition
of affairs and to take such action as the in
terests of the race may seem to require,-to
protect them from rebel hate and persecu-
ton. They have been driven to this by the
constant abuse which they have received
in some instances from unprincipled adven-
turers, but generally from their late task
masters. Some of the Southern papers af-
feet to see in this move of the colored peo-
II, great evils for the South and a beginning
of war of races. Upon the guilty let the
punishment fall. They sowed the wind and
now, if they reap the whirl-wind, the blame
rests with themselves.

A LIVE HOME JoURNAL.-NoTABLE
CHANGE.-Last October, Hearth and Home
passed into the hands of Orange Judd &
Co., of 245 Broadway, New York, the we'll
known publishers of the american Agricul-
turist-a journal long without a rival in
sterling value and circulation. The marked
improvements then expected to appear in
Hearth and Home have been fully realized,
and it is now one Of the choicest illustrated
journals anywhere issued for the family
circle-adapted to both the juvenile and
adult people, and meeting the special wants
of the housekeeper. Besides it supplies
very useful chapters for the garden and
farm, and an important NEWS sheet, giving
a valuable resume of the news for week,
up to the moment of issue. From $500 to
$500 worth of very fine engravings beautify
each weekly number. We notice now a
still further mark of enterprise on the part
of the publishers; they have secured the
exclusive editorial services of Edward
Eggleson, SO widely and favorably known
by his writings in Scri6ner's Monthly, and
many other Magazines and Journals, and
especially as the chief experimenting Edi-
tor of the Ne,o York Independent for some
time past. With this notable addition to
the previously large and strong editorial
force, Hearth and Home can not fail to
merit and command a prominent place in
every household. in city, village, and coun-
try. Specimen copies can doubtless be
obtained of the publishers, as above
Terms only So year. Single numbers s

add one or both of them to your supply of
reading; they are each worth infinitely
more than the small cost.

THE PERILs OF THE LONDON STREETS.
The London Daily News says: The bat
tie of the streets RACES on from year to year
with scarcely varying fortune. In the con-
hict between unarmed foot passengers and
the doubly- armed drivers, the weaker COM
batants are ridden down without mercy
Counting up the losses in killed and wound
ed last year in the streets which lie out
side the city, we arrive at the terrible
aggregate of 2,043. This is an average of
about thirty nine people every week, or six
persons day for the six busy days of the
week and three for each Sunday. OF these
2,0l3 victims, 1874 were killed and 1910
wounded. AS to the engines Of warfare by
which their destruction is accomplished,
the return published by the chief commits
sioner of police gives some statistics which
carry out the impression that Londoners
derive from observation.
The cabs do good deal of damage, but
they are not the worst offenders. They
killed II people and wounded 420 during
the last year. The omnibusses killed II
and hurt IS; while carriages and brough-
ans killed but two and wounded 243.
Heavy carts, wagons and vans killed 63 and
wounded 462. But the worst offenders of
all are the light carts, driven by trades
mems boys and shopmen. These carts
ran over G36 people during the year, Of
whom 81 were killed. Nearly one-third Of
the socalled accidents in the streets are,
therefore, due to these carts.
These terrible figures do not include the
most densely crowded parts of London. The
city has its own catalogue of accidents,
which dc something to swell the aggregate,
though this is perhaps the safest part of
London. 1t is surely time that something
was done to stop this fearful havoc. If
two thousand people fell every year in riot
or isurrection, the whole world would he
Mortified; but more than two thousand fall
in the chronic strife of overbearing drivers
with weak or feeble or careless walkers,
and we take it as thing of course. Sup
pose the Russian plan were introduced,
and cart which injured a foot passenger
was forfeited, would the figures of street
accidents long tell so terrible story?
