a natural increase, but an increase
growing out of the accession to the
number of free negroes of colored per-
sons emancipated by their masters
AS the abolition agitation increased
the Southern States added continually
to the obstacles in the way Of manu-
missions, and the feeling among large
classes Of people in those States in fa-
vor of manumission gradually diedout.
The consequence Of this was regular
decline in the ratio of increase Of the
free negroes, so that while this increase
from 1920 to 1880 was 1896, or 37.2
per cent, it fell in 183O-4O to 66,694,
or 20 per cent. in 1840-50 to 48,202,
or 124 per cent. ; and from 1850 to 1860
to 43,575, or about 10 per cent.
The conclusion which it is necessary
to draw from these data is that the ma
trral decennial rate of increase of the
free negro is only little over 4 per
cent, that this. rate is one which con-
tinually diminishes, and that in 1900
the negro will cease to increase at all,
and will begin to decrease. This, we
say, is the conclusion which is neces-
sarily forced upon us by the negro as
he is presented to us in the constant
ratios of the census tables. We are
not able to accept the inference which
Mr.. Superintendent Walker apparent
lyl wishes us to draw, that the falling
off in the increase of the negroes is a
temporary and abnormal one. Hesays,
very truly, that, ''Drawn largely from
the plantations, where their increase
was natural, rapid, and sure, to cities
and camps, where want, vice, and pes
thence made short work of the multi
tudes hastily gathered, inadequately
provided for, and left for the first time
to their own control, it is
only to be wondered at that the color
ed people of the South have held their
own in the ten years since 1861" But
these causes, which operated SO disas-
trously to the destruction of the stout,
trained, healthy negro of the planta-
ton, are still operating against hisrem-
nants, and will continue to operate
with tenfold force against his scrofu-
lous and debilitated children and
grandchildren. There are no camps,
indeed, but the negro gravitates to the
cities with an uncomfortable impul-
sion. The subjoined table of twenty
one cities to which the freedman has
had access since 1860 will show forcib-
ly in what numbers he has abandoned
the country:

A Joke on Drundreary's Dog.

Last summer, In the dog days, Soth-
ern played a joke on his Scoth terrier,
JACK, to cure him OF making acquaint-
ances with other dogs when out for
walk. When he saw another dog, Jack
would rush up and rub his nose against
that OF a stranger and indicate in his
d9ogglsh ways that ne would like to be
ms Trend. when the season for muz-
zlng came, Sotnern put muzzle upon

Applying the ratio used in the third
column to the 4,88O,O09 freedmen of
1870, we see that in 1900 there will
be about 5, 100000 negroes in the coun-
try, against 100000 whites. In 9TH
er words, the proportion of negroes to
whites, which is now about as l to z,
will in thirty years be reduced to to
12.
The above table, if it errs at all, .errs
in making the whites fewer than they
probably will be, and in making the
negroes more than they probably will
be. The free negro has never been
prolific, and the decline in the rates of
increase noted in the above column in
the successive periods from 1880 to
1870 is not to be taken so much as a
sign of decrease in his productiveness
as a symbol of the increasing intensi-
ty of the abolition agitations and a
corresponding diminution of the num-
ber of negroes emancipated. Not less
than 5 per cent. of the increase of the
free negroes previous to 1860 was not

THE SEA.-The largest of all, ceme-,
tries. is the sea, and its slumberers
sleep without monuments. All other
graveyards show some symbol of dis
tinction between the great and small,
the rich and the poor; but in the ocean
cemetery, the king and the clown, the
prince and the peasant, are alike un-
distinguished. The same waves roll
over all; the same requiem by the min
strels of the ocean is sung to their hon
or. Over their remains the same storm
beats, and the same sun shines; and
there, unmarked, the weak and the
powerful, the plumed and the union
ored, will sleep on, until awaked by
the same trump, when the sea shall
give up its countless hosts of the dead
Of myriad generations. ri

small to allow me to swing across

SIHdll To allow mo GO Swing dCIO6S.-
Accomplishing my purpose at length
I went up more rapidly, carefully test.
ing each block as I proceeded.
Ere long I reached the cross, and
there I paused to rest, looking down
from the dizzy height with a GOODNESS
that even astonished me.
A few strokes with a light hatchet
that the architect had hung at my
back, and piece by piece the rotten
cross fell . the ground.
My work was done, and as the last
fragment disappeared, l found sad
pleasure in the thought that should /
never reach the ground alive, my dear
ones would have ample means to sup
ply their wants Until my wife could
obtain employment.e.
Sad and cautiously + lowered myself
from block to block, and at length
reached the spire window, amidst the
cheers of those assembled in the street.
Inside the steeple the architect plac-
| ed roll of bank notes in my hand.
"You have well earned the money! y
he said. sGt does me good to see man
with so much nerve-but-bless me,
what is the matter with your hair? It
was black before you made the ascent,
now it is gray!"
And so it was! That moment of
intense agony, while slipping helpless
| ly downward, had blanched my hair
until it appeared like that of an old
man. The work of years had been
done in an instant!
Entering the bare, cherries room,
which was now all called home, I
found visitor awaiting me, my late
employer.
"Harvey," said he, extending his
hand, 81 have done great wrong. It
cost me terrible pang to believe in
your guilt, but circumstances were SO
strongly against you, that was forced
to believe it. I have found the coin,
Harvey, it slipped under the secret
draw in my desk. Can you forgive
me, my dear old friend %
My heart was too full to speak, I
silently pressed his hand.

All the world shall know | accused

did not refuse. Instead, I thank
fully yaceepted the offer which my friend
SO generously made, knowing that no
surer method could have been devised
to silence forever the tongue Of SIAN
der, and free my name from the un-
merited reproach which had of late
rested upon it.
Unmerited prosperity has attended
my steps ever since that eventful day,
but neither prosperity nor wealth can
eface its memory from my heart, nor
restore my withered locks to their own
raven hue.
