in the way OF engendering bad blood

all very well for staid Northern states

from afar to talk in glitteriDg generality
OF equal rights and social equality, but
that does not remove the inborn and
natural feeling OF race isolation in
social sense, which is universal among
the whites OF the South. and which no
arbitrary LEGISLATION can ever remove.
You can't change human nature by
Congressional law, and the sooner the
national Lawmakers understand this
the better for the black as well as the

CHICAGO.
Henri Roche Effort.

Chicago, May 2S.-Renri Rochefort
araived here this afternoon, from San
Francisco, and twn hours later left for
New York. No reception was given
him by the Communists. An Omaha
special to the Evening Post gives the
report OF an interesting interview with
Roche'ort in that place. He stated
that he left New Caledonia on the 10Th
of March, having been there three
months. He gives fearful picture Of
the lie OF the prisoners confined there,
particularly those sentenced for crime.
The condition OF the political prisoners
was more tolerable as they were not
obliged to labor, and those who had
money were allowed to purchase such
com forts as were obtsinable there.
Rochefort and several companions were
permitted to build a small house, which
added much to their comfort. OF his
escape and that o. his companions, he
would only cav that they escaped on
an English bark OF four hundred tons
burden, that sailed around the coast,
and that they SWAN of TO the vessel,
being in the water from 8 p. m, until
after midnight, before they were picked
up in q nearly exhausted condition. IN
regard to political matters in France
Rochefort expressed the opinion that
the Republican prospects are bright,
ahd that MacMahan could not sustain
himself three months, and that !: is
more than probable that Thiers will be
again at the head Of the government
within that time Thiers, he thinks,
deserves great credit Tor bis unswerv-
ing fideiity 10 the Republic, and that
Roch heiort will do all he can TO sustain
him, but he thinks Gambeta the best
man for the Republic

wes unwilling to hear him at any
length and he had to take his seat -
Dr.. Alexander Reed then gained the
floor 10 continue his remarks On the
Board OF Publication. He considered
that the church aud its members were
not tenacious enough of its literature
they purchased many books that were
not published by the American board;
they were liberal in this respect as well
as in Others, and as an instapce'of this
be mentioned the tact that last year
the Presbyterians gave Sc, 600 more to
the Bible Society than any other demo-
minallon.r f4- .. l...
Rev. Woods, OF Nation, Illinois,
said there was a great prejudice against
the literature OF the presbyterian
Church, which was one reason why the
sales were small Presbyterian lltera-
ture was misrepresented 10 great e1-
tent, but there was no reason Why any
fault could be found with the Board of
Publication. The discussion was free-
ly INDUCED in, nearly all being In favor
OF continuing the Colportuerage work Of
the Board
The Agent from Santa Fe said that
10 make a minister sell books would be
the means of making him lose his in
fluence as a minister. As Tor. himself
he used nearly all the Spanish literature
which the Church published, and he
wanted to say whenever man asked
HIM what a book was worth, "Ob,
nothing, only that you read it."
Rev. Mr.. Jllker, OF Nebraska, said 1t
wss i'm polite to give the work Of Colpor-
teurage to ministers for the reason that
they have to neglect their ministerial
work 10 engage in it, besides he agreed
with others that they lost their infu.
ence by being book. pedGlers. He asked
If city preach ers would like to get down
from their pulpits now and travel from
house to house with load OF hooks.
What was sauce for the goose was
sauce for the gander, and they should
not: expect the poor. hard working
missionaries to do what they do not
want 10 do themselves. He advised
them not to touch the missionary work
OF the Board.
