The Topeka (Kansas) Commonwealth tells
fearfully reckless yarn in reference to visit
of Eastern bankers and millionaires and sew
eral residents of Topeka to an enchanted
park" south of Denver, Colorado. While
engaged in viewing the scenery of the said
park, hailstorm came on, and the stones
flew fast and furious. The travellers hud-
died together under the lee side of the rocks,
and, lodging the missiles as best they could,
watched with breathless interest scene rare
ly witnessed, even in the Rocky Mountains.
The air was black, the thunder reverberated
through the mountains and the lightning
shot across the sky, while, amid terrible up
roar, the hail descended in torrents composed
of stones of immense size. The storm lasted
about half an hour, and during that brief pc
riod, says the veracious chronicler of the
event, the hail lay all over the valley to an
incredible depth. In one portion, little to
the east of the party, it was fully four feet in
depth for long distance. 1t was certainly
lucky for the world that the party were out of
range of the heaviest part of the visitation,
else it might still be in ignorance of Colora-
do haistorm at its worst.

notable meeting of the representatives of
antipodean races took place on Saturday in
New York city. Red Cloud and Red Dog,
the Sioux chiefs, with their associates, had
occasion to visit the banking house of Henry
Clews. While there they met deputation of
the Japanese embassy, who were making ar
rangements regarding their funds prior to
their departure for Europe. The natives of
Asia and the aboriginals of America regarded
each other with genuine interest, and they
evidently considered the meeting, which was
purely accidental, one of great moment.
Ambitious boys who may feel disposed to
repine over pre- ent obstacles, and to doubt
their ability to rise in the world, should re-
cal the early career of Senator Wilson and
take courage. In a speech made at Great
Falls, N. H., Feb. "a, 1872, he sud: Il left
my home at ten years of age, and served an
apprenticeship of eleven years, receiving a
months schooling each year, and at the end
OF eleven years of hard work, a yoke of oxen
and six sheep, which brought me eghty-four
dollars. Eighty-four dollars for eleven years
of hard toll! never spent the amount of
one dollar in money, counting every penny,
from the time l was born until I was twenty
one years Ofage. 1 know what it is to travel
weary miles, and ask my fellow-men to give
me leave to toll"

SOUTH CAROLINA NEGROES.
WHAT THEY DEMAND.

A pamphlet has been published
and circulated among the negroes of
South Carolina, with the following
rather unique title;
"The political battle Axe, for the
use of Colored Men Of the State of
South Carolinain the year 1872,
with Constitution of the Progressive
Association. BY Kush"
The author is said to be Major
Delaney, the well-known colored aid
de-camp 10 Governor Scott, who re-
signed his position a few weeks since
because he had lost all confidence in
Scott. The author makes the point
that "all people are in danger who
have not proper, intelligent, honest
and Trustworthy leaders of their race
to guard their rights and defend
their liberty" and that the white
men whom the colored people elect
cd to office, have failed 20 do their
duty in general, and especially in
not securing, "rural homesteads" for
the freedmen, "Kush," lays down
distinctly what 1--WE want and must
have," as follows
"We want and must have during
the next two years in this State
eighty thousand rural homestead
farms, of ten acres each, for eighty
thousand families of freedmen, now
without homes
"By putting good men in office,
black and white, such as we want
and must have to carry out thi:
measure, the land for these rura
homesteads can be purchased at sucf
low rate as to enable the freedmen
to live and pay off the entire cost o
each farm in four years from the date
of purchase.
"The State must purchase the
land, and give the people time t.
pay for it. The time desired is only
four years, and this can easily be ac'
complished by the plans and meas
ures which we have already devised
the leading features of which may
be seen in Delany's letters on home.

NEW DEPARTURE PAssIvIsM, sc

There is no difference in the sig
MITIGATION, politically, of these terms.
The Nmew Departure proposed to
accept past and present legislation as
it affected the National Constitution, ,
"Passivism" proposes to do this by
sustaining the candidates Of another
party-the Labor Rcformers' or
"Moderate Republicans" pledged to
the same platform.
The inhexible "Bourbons," are
breaking but they cannot BEND
They begin to realize the facts that
to nominate democratic candidates
upon a democratic platform pledged
to declare any of the Constitutional
amendments void is to put every
thing upon the hazard Of the die,
when it is known too that the die
will be cast by the radicals and that
HiS loaded, ensuring result Which
does not mean the defeat of the
democracy for four years, only but
forever.
The question which now absOrbs
the thoughts of all friends of Repub-
lcan liberty in the country is show
can this result be defeated ?" The
"labor reformers' move in one di-
rection; the 'liberal republicans in
another, and the democracy will
follow in all the light which may be
thrown upon the situation. Per
baps, as there is little hope besides,
the movements may combine the
great issue, overriding all else-Re-
publicanism or Empire-will con-
solidate the opposition and for time
at least save what is left Of the Re-
public.
