In the shanty which, in California; s
early days did duty as office for the
banking, postal, and express business
of Wells, Fargo Il Co. in Maryville,
there sat, one Saturday evening, a mis-
anthrOpic and detected looking indi-
vidual, whose long and unkempt hair
and beard, cowhide boots and rough
dress bespoke the miner. For over an
hour he set there the picture of des-
pair, with not word or look for any
one present Miners came, left their
dust, took their coin in return, and
exchanged greeting with all present,
save the one mOrOse man whose apathy
nothing, it seemed, could disturb. FL
nally there entered young man with
a beaming face, who, after completing
his business at the counter, turned to
the agent in charge and remarked that
on the previous Saturday he had some
dealings with the bank, and thought
that some mistake had been made in
his account.
Guess not, said the agent. "Our
cash was all right, and l reckon we
keep our books pretty straight" ;"
But upon the request of the miner
that the account should be examined,
the account was looked at, and it was
found througha clerical error the mi
ner had been paid just $50 too much.
" That's just what | make it, said
the latter, and here's your money.
With this he threw down the gold, and
received the thanks Of the agent.
While this conversation was in pro-
gress, the misanthropic miner had pre-
served his look Of utter indifference;
but, when hesaw the money aetuallyre
turned, his face Frightened up, he rose
slowly, walked toward the honest mi
ner with slow and solemn step. and
said
Young man, don't you feel awful
lonesome in this country"

The Old Chief Justice.

When Judge Marshall lived in Rich
mond, his opposite neighbor was Col
onel Pickett, father of the Confederate
General George K. Pickett, of Gettys-
burg fame, Colonel Pickett was
man of wealth, lived well, and was
not content unless everything about
his household bore the marks of good
living. His horses were his pride,
and were conspicuous everywhere for
their splendid appearance, being as
sleek, fat and high-spirited as abund-
ant food and excellent grooming could
make them. Judge Marshal's horses,
on the other hand, were VIGOROUSLY
lean and unkept, Everybody but the
Judge had long remarked this. At.
last it was brought to his notice, with
the suggestion that his carriage driver
neglected the horses, sold much of
their food and appropriated the money
to his own use, a good deal of it going,
no doubt, for liquor. The Judge call
ed him up without delay.
" Dick, what is the reason Colonel
Pickett's horses are in such splendid
condition, while mine are almost
skeletons [ am afraid you neglect,
them, don't half curry them and don't
half feed them"
Dick, not expecting the attack, was
posed. He hemmed and hawed
awhile, till he could gather his negro
wits about him, and then said:
Mars John, look at you; is you
fat?"
No." said the Judge; decidedly
not"
well, look at ole Miss (Mrs.
Marshall }; is she fat?"
mo"
Look at ne; is | fat?"
" Den look tyo' horses-is dey fat2'
"No."
" Now, den, you jes' look at Kunnel
Pickett-he fat, his car'ige driver fat,
his horses fat, his dogs fat-all fat. De
troOf is; Mars John, fat run in de Pick
ett family. and it don't run in our'n.
OATS all.
: Well, said the Judge, after little
There's a good deal in
that. Itnever occurred to me before"
He turned back into his study, and
Dick was never troubled any more.

AFRICAN COLONIZATION.

The commercial prosperity of all
countries seems to depend very great
ly upon planting colonies in new and
distant lands. In the United States
the peopling and improving of a vast
public domain has afforded the same
stimulus which anciently Greece and
Rome, and, in more recent times,
Venice, Holland and Great Britain
have found in occupying and settling
transmarine regions previously in
habited, if at all, only by wild, saw
age tribes. And it is remarkable,
that the foreign commerce of every
nation, in either ancient or modern
times, has always fiourished in pro-
portion to its colonial enterprises,
and declined only when its colonies,
were lost by reverses in war or sever.
ed from the parent country by some
other cause. Our own country,
which may seem at first an excep-
ton, only confirms the rule. Here
we have had what might be called
an inland colonization constantly 60
ing on in the Western States and
Territories. But we have, to a great
extent, also, lost our foreign COM
merce. Our inland colonies have re-
quired the construction of numerous
long lines of railways and of canals
marvellous for their length. The ma
tion's energies turned toward the
heart of great continent have been
withdrawn from commerce on the
seas.
Although it may be some time be-
fore the public lands, now unoccupi-
ed, will have been so fully settled up,
that any of our native population
will feel the necessity of looking to
new countries across the great seas for
homes, yet there are many cogent
reasons why the immediate COLOMBIA
ton of Africa, by the colored people

Every publisher of newspaper has
heard this tremendous order from of
Tended subscribers, imaginded by the
offended to be as dangerous as a stroke
of lightning, but in reality more harm
less than a mosquito bite. A good
story is told by the Philadelphia Post,
of Mr.. Swain, the former proprietor
of the Daily Ledger. By his course
on some public question, on which diff
ferent persons had different opinions,
Mr.. Swain had offended a number of
readers, one of whom met him on
Chestnutstreet, and thus aceosted him :
Mr.; Swain; l We stopped the Ledger.
What is that, sir 2"
I've stopped the Ledger" /" was the
reply.
rs it possible p said Swain, my
dear sir, what do you mean? Come
with me to the office"
And taking the man with him, he
entered the Office at third and Chest
nut street. There they found the
clerks busy at their desks; then they
ascended to the editorial and compos-
ing rooms, where everything was going
on as usual finally they descended to
the press room, where the engines were
at work.
" | thought you told me you had
stopped the Ledger" said Mr.. Swain.
SO, have, said the offended sub
seriber.
| don't see the stoppage. The
Ledger seems to be going on"
"Oh mean to say-that is, that |
had stopped taking it. +"
Is that alli" exclaimed Mr.. Swain.
why, my dear sir, you don't know
how you alarmed me. You nearly
scared me to death"

of the South, should be encouraged
by all good friends of both races.
L Neither can be so prosperous and
happy as both would be, if separate
and living in different countries. Act
and feel as they may, human nature
itself will cause each to distrust and
suspect the other. History bears un-
deviating testimony to the fact that
no two races can long live together
peacefully and prosperously as MEM
bers of the same community. Anal
gamation or separation are the inev-
table alternatives. The Hebrews
and Canaanites, the Castilians and
Moors, the Europeans and North
American Indians, have all expe-
rienced the force of this law. But
these are only the most familiar ex-
amples. There are many Others.
For, wherever two races, of different
origin and different mental and NOR
al character, have been intermixed,
they both have lost their individuali-
ty and become one, or the self asser-
ton of each has widened the dis
tance between them. The ancient
Britons, Danes. Saxons and Nor
mans commingled and became what
Is now the English people; but it
was blending only of very similar
elements into a homogeneous whole.
But it is criminal madness to even
dream of such a consummation in
the case of the white and black races.
Therefore, there remains only the
other alternative of separation,
which must sooner or later come to
pass. Colonization presents pacific
and profitable solution of this prob
lem; and there is no cause for delay.
Endless trouble or the colonization
of Africa are all that we have left to
us, in this matter, to choose from.
2. The execution of this plan will
not only remove an incubus from the
white race, but it will also increase
the commercial activity of the ma
ton, while it can be made source of
profit to individual citizens. The
great continent of Africa has extern
sive regions of fertile lands, teeming
with animal and vegetable life, rich
in gold, diamonds andivory, and on
ly waiting to furnish to the negroes
of the South the home, which nature
designed for them.
8. Colonization in Africa offers to
the negro himself the only prospect,
which he can possibly find, of real
izing his hopes for social advance
ment or political preferment. In con-
tact with the white race in this
country he must forever remain sub
ordinate and inferior. In Africa,
among his own people, he can be-
come the peer of the greatest men of
his country. Socially or politically
he will find there no barrier in his
way to eminence.

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-Dur-
ing the past week. bit of romance has
occurred in the Children's Aid Society,
of New York, which hardly seems to
belong to this matter-of- fact age. The
New York Times tells the touching
story as follows:
A number ofyears since, the reports
of the society gave an account of a
sad event in Brooklyn. A woman had
been murdered by her drunken hus-
band, and a kind lady of that city dis
covered three wretched little children
weeping oyer the corpse, two boys and
girl. They were utterly frieHdless,
after the arrest and Imprisonment of
the father. The two boys we're
brought to the newsboys' lodging
house, in New York, and the girl tenn
porarily sheltered. At length the So
ciety sent the two lads to homes in the
West, and the girl was adopted by a
gentleman of property, near the city.
The latter never knew that her adopted
father was not her own. The boys
have now grown up and acquired prop
erty-one being a druggist and the
other farmer. They have been ex-
tremely anxious to communicate with
their sister, and have been in CORES
pondence with her guardian for some
time. During the past week they re-
visited the city for the first time, very
well-edueated young men, in good cir
cumstanees. They visited the Girls
Lodging house, the Newsbovs', and
other institutions of the society. The
adopted father of their sister consent
ed that they should see her in his office,
provided they did not disclose their
relationship, as she was only fifteen,
and he wished her to suppose herself
his daughter, so that her eraffection might
not be weakened for few years long
er. She is to inherit his property.
They felt the propriety of this, and
had their interview with her last week,
without discoveringth relationship,
and then returned, well satisfied, to the
West"

Charles Dickens lived and worked
always at high pressure and died at last
of over-strain. As Mr.. Forster says
of him, he did even his nothings in a
strenuous way One day he was wet
through thrice and dressed four times;
another he walked eighteen miles in
four and a half hours in a broiling
sun. Living at Genoa one winter, he
dashed over to London in the most in
element weather. (riding night and
day, and back to Genoa again for no
earthly reason but to try the effect of
reading The Chimes on few init
mate friends His dash into the edi-
torship Of the Daily News and out Of
it again, within three weeks, was high

"The locomotive will soon be puff

the Crusaders. Jerusalem will prob
ably be way station, and it may be
necessary to cut through the Mount
of Olives and fill in the Valley Of Je-
hoshaphat. The dust of Judah's
kings will be carted OFF by the cubic
yard, and the pilgrims travel in
