A GREAT FAMILY REUNION. Nearly
one thousand descendants of VIM. futile,
who emigrated from England to New Ha-
ven in 1896, held reunion at West Haven
on Wednesday. The ancestors Of Wm.
Tuttle were eminent in the mother country,
two of them having been lord mayors of
the city of Exeter, al that time n
city of greater relative Importance
than it is now. In the family coat
of arms the shield is in three divisions,
colored respectively purple, red and gold,
bearing a hon rampant. The crest is
dove with an olive branch, which is sup
posed by some to suggest that some Of the
ancestral line had berth in the ark.
Members of the family from different sec
tons of the country were well represented
better than those near at hand. The
meeting was called to order by Deacon
Edmund Tuttle, of Meriden, who an
nounced the officers of the day. The
president, the Rev. Ruel Ii. Tuttle, of
Windsor, Conn.,, delivered short and ap.
propriate address, giving the history of
the family. After singing hymn of greet
ing, composed by Miss Emma Tuttle, Of
Middlebnry the Divine blessing was invoked
upon the assembly. The whole party
then sat down to bountiful dinner. The
exercises after dinner consisted for the
most part of addresses from members of
the family in every section of the country.

The Boston Advertiser reports that a
separation OF the races is being quietly
effected by the voluntary migratiOns of the
colored people to the rich lowlands of the
Mississippi Valley, where they thrive most
and have the most advantages in compe-
tition for livelihood. 1t is said that within
a year more than 10000 negroes have left
the upland counties of Georgia, where the
soil is comparatively poor and unproduc-
tive, for the lowlands of the Mississippi,
and that the rate of this migration is con-
stantly increasing. On the other hand,
the whites are leaving the sections to which
the negroes come and heeing'to the hills.
Large cotton and sugar plantations are
being abandoned by their former owners,
many of whom are dividing estates and
selling them to the negroes. The result
will be, if the movement is continued and
becomes general, that Louisiana and q
large part of Mississippi will become negro
states while the negro element in other
sections will be less dangerous and infuen-
tial. The movement has assumed such pro.
portions that there is definite proposition
under consideration to form new state
comprising West Tennessee and the upper
counties Of Mississippi, giving over the rest
of the latter to negro domination.

VALUE OF BIRDs.-Many years ago
the coffee plants in the island of Madagas-
car were attacked by grakle, a WELL
known bird, on the African coast. The
grakle is an insect feeder; but, having
used up the supply, it betook itself in pure
necessity to coffee. An edict was speedily
issued, and carried into effect, for the an
initiation of grallles and every bird on
the island was destroyed. All went on
very well for year or two when, 10 and
behold the insect and their larvae having
the field to themselves, began to make sad
havoc upon the coffee. What was to be
done. There was no alternative but that
of bringing back the grakle, which was in
due season imported. The cofec.planters
had, however, gained something by expert
ence; and they resolved to profit by the
same. They managed to keep the grakle
within bounds and they well knew that
he would do the same by the insects and
they were right. american.

ST. LOUIS, September ia colored
man named Bill Bruce was arrested here a
few days ago, charged with seducing a
young white girl near California, Manteau
county, Missouri, and Sheriff CARMEL, OF
that county, telegraphed to the chief OF
police to hold Bruce until he could send an
officer for him. Sheriff Garnel now tele-
graphs to the police here not to hold Bruce,
as he does not think it best that he should
be taken back. This action is explained
by the police on the theory that if Bruce
should be taken back to California thai
Sheriff Garnell could not protect him from
lynchers. 1t is also asserted that Carmel
has acted on the advice of Governor
Woods, but what grounds there is for this
assertion is not definitely known.

stopped by order of the commander, when
the sound of human voices was heard in the
distance. A. boat was instantly lowered.
1t was about O'Clock in the evening, and
amid the greatest excitement commander
Greer exclaimed, Il see their house two

There was considerable exultation on

only brought disappointment to the eager

south in the middle of June last, in two
boats, hoping to meet friendly whaling
vessels to carry them to Newfoundland.
The Tigress boat was again manned, ac-
companied this time by Commander Greer
and EsgHimaux Joe, who was to act as
an interpreter. A crowd of Esquimaux,
consisting of five men, two women and
two children, greeted them on their arrival
