FISHING EXTRAORDINARY.

The rising of the Colorado
drives many small and excellent
fish up into the lower part of town
where the water is backed up,
and the little hovs have been hav.
ing fine time fishing with hook
and line. We were much anus
ed the other day to see the an.
tics of one of our old boys who
lives near THE SENTINEL office
Taking his pole and line he went
down to the foot of of Main street,
alongside the steamboat house,
and there fi5hed for about two
hours, but failed to get a bite. AS
night approached. it was ne"es-
sary that he should go home, but,
he did not relish the idea of run:
ming the gauntlet Of his acquaint-
ancps without any fish in his
hand. A bright idea struck him
right here. He went to Ike Lee.

stones. then dipping the sack in
the water To give it a fi-hy ap-

street with tho sack in one hand
and his fishing pole on his shout

He was careful to keep clear of

principally affected by the con-.

We too, have been astonished
that the editor of so excellent

such miserable stuff. That edi.

they are bound to endure in an
eminent degree, because they

have all vanished, and they have

Kind Words.

The temperance of the New National
Era gave us real pleasure. We read the
editorial "explanation," in the spirit Of
truest sympathy; for, although it has never
been ours to manage the financial interest
of paper, yet, we have seen enough of it.
to know that it is an up hill business of the
steepest kind-and made so, not so much by
our ignorance as people, but by our negi.
tive Indifference, and our positive jealousies
and selfishness.
AS race, we cannot afford to do without
the Ne,c National Era; and we owe it to our.
selves to hold up the hand of the Douglass
Brothers. They may not be the most sweet
tempered men, and the most religious, in the
world /; but what has that got to do with the
Nec National Era? Shall the horse starye

70 he Editor Of The Nep National Era:

To lie Editor Of The Ne,o National E,a:
DEAR SIR: Shortly after the death of Chief
Justice Chase, an article appeared in one Of
the issues of a Washington daily paper, (the
Chronicle headed, "Wilberforce University
and Chief Justice chase"
The article was the comment Of those who
are guilty of the most bitter malgnity.
They abhor all Christian denominations
who will open their doors and welcome all
men into their ranks, without distinction to
race or creed or previous condition also the
ignored fall men, and who in every particu-
lar, carried out the golden rule, ''Do unto al
men as you would have them do unto
you"
With this principle, :hcy have prospered
in the work of the ministry all over this wide
land, having planted the banner of the cross,
and most on every hilltop throughout the
Union, and in every valley, they are frugal
and industrious in the work, toiling on,
spending their strength to build up the waste
places Of Zion 4: they have placed careful
leaders at their head who care for the flock
and not the fleece and with the help OF
Him, in whom we must all trust, will they
gather in the lost.
Mr.. Chase did what every lover Of liberty
should do for every struggling class who,
like the A. NJ. F. Church, have tried, for over
fifty years, in the face ofgreat opposition, and
with little at their command, to keep step
with the march of the Church. With slavery
on one hand and ignorance and superstition
on the other, they have triumphed and to-
day the leading African Methodist church
on the American continent, with deter.
mination to place in the field competent
teachers, numbers this society over three
hundred thousand.
This is the people whom Chief Justice
Chase blessed in his life time, and at his
death he will live in the hearts of thousands
who have lived to see this day, and his acts
will be told to generations unborn. May
God bless the pious dead peace to his ashes,
and success to those Of our race who have
been made benefactors of his gift.

THE ALDINE, while issued with all the

each succeeding number affords fresh pleas

of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated
after it has been bound up at the close of the

superior cheapness, as compared with rivals
of similar class, THE ALDINE is unique
pprOached-absolutely without competition
in price OR character. The possessOr of a
