A Book FOR EVERY FAMILY.-There is no
book (save the Bible) OF more use in a family,
especially where there are children, than a
good Medical Book-one fully adapted to the
wants and comprehension of parents and the
people generally. Such work we are Pleased

had enjoyed the occasion said she, 81 shall
remember it as one of the most pleasant of
my life." The celebration made favorable
impression, and will mark an event i'm the
history of the Evening Star Lodge Of
Huntsville. The Worshipful Master, MI.
L. Robinson, deserves especial mention for
the able manner in which he conducted the
celebration, making it a success and credit
to the lodge. He may object to thus being

Our local politics are growing lively. Ere
the State convention has been called, or the
day for the County convention set, the noisy
voices of opposing candidates have rung in
almost every school-house throughout the
county, plantations have been canvassed,
and the influence of preachers sought. On
the Fourth of July there is to be a grand
demonstration at Beaver Dam. 1t is said
that all the candidates will be there which
will include pretty we'll every body. / will
take the occasion of this gathering to give
you an insight into our politics.
Until then, respectfully yours,

RICHMOND, Va, July 5, 1874.
10 The Editor Of the Ne,o National Era:
The suspension and probable failure OF the
Freedman's Savings and Trust Company
have caused much loss, and no little morti-
fcation among the depositors here. There
has not existed entire confidence in the
management and condition Of the banks since
the monetary fluctuations of last fall. While
that confidence was being gradually restored
and the friends Of the institution were felici-
ting themselves on having escaped, unhurt'
a financial crisis, which involved some of the
best banking houses Of the country, the UNI
welcome news came that the operations of
the company had ceased. Some of us were
exhibiting the circular Of Hon. Frederick
Douglass with a sense Of triumphant vindi-
cation, and reproaching the inimical and the
Indifferent with the injustice they were doing
the bank but occurrences Immediately sub
sequent to the publication of that document
make 1t appear almost satirical We, whose
money has been sent northward for circula-
ton and investment, are anxious to know
where the fault lies. If any are guilty, they
should receive their merited punishment.
The effect of this suspension on the colored
people is very unfortunate, if not positively
harmful. 1t will check, in large degree,

Moral Reflections No. II.

1.-THE heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately wicked"
No language could be found more strongly
to express the wickedness of mans heart.
This is said not of some hearts, but of all
hearts. 1t is a moral picture,> and humil-
iating one, too, of fallen human nature. 1t
is declared by Divine inspiration that it
is inconceivably deceitful and hopelessly
wicked. In deceiving others, and especially
itself, its depravity manifests itself in every
form, kind, and degree Of iniquity ; and there
is no hope for it in any mere human effort
or power. Nothing but that which is AL
mighty and Divine can purify the soul Of
man. "Can the Ethiopian change his skin,
or the leopard his spots. No more can We,
who are accustomed to do evil, learn to do
WE'LL" Nor does even Divine Grace usually
at once deliver man from the power of evil.
1t is ordinarily long and painful process
struggle Of Grace against Nature-down
even unto death. But thanks be to God,
who giveth us the victOfy through our Lord
Jesus Christ" A. A.

SILVER CITY, N. NJ, June II, 1874.
To the Editor OF the New National Era:
have not written to you for some months,
as have been ION the road ".for con-
siderable time. But have landed here in
Silver City, and propose to stay here, if l
can do the business which every indication
promises.
This is city of Silver. The mills are
yielding from $1,000 to $4,000 each week,
and the busy clatter Of pick and shovel are
heard from the hill-tops hourly, "giving
cheerful promise to the hope of industry"
The center port of gold-diggings is at Pinos
Altos, about miles from here, where they
are realizing at the least estimate S. 900 per
week. Pinos Altos was, in 1861, the richest
gold camp in New Mexico. The war, the
Apache Indians, and other adverse circum-
stances suppressed business. Danger from
Indians. effects of the war, etc., have lost
their force here, and to-day there are more
than SO arastras at work at Pinos Altos,
yielding large compensation, and every
miner and mll-man is jubilant.
We are looking forward TO rich harvest
of rich metal during the coming season.
1, with many of my friends, have read
your articles on the Civil Rights Bill, and
endorse every article and word embraced
therein.
hope to find something more interesting

| MR.. CHAIRMAN, grand opportunities pre-
| sent themselves to man. as we'll as to a
generation, seldom more than once in Their
| lifetime so, cannot believe that this homo
rable committee will refuse its support to the
present one, which is entirely American, and
it aims to prevent the English from driving
Us away from the Pacific Ocean, as they did
from the Atlantic. trust it will receive from
Congress the hearty response which it so
er an experiment, but an easy achievement.
We, in America, have no connection with
Asia, and the great Island-C Continent of Aus
tralia, and the islands lying between them,
except by the lines through the nations or
waters of Asia, the Red and Mediterranean
Seas, the Continent of Europe, across En-
gland and Ireland and Newfoundland, and
under the Atlantic. To hear from Australia,
Japan, or China, with whom we have large
and growing trade and intercourse, the words
must travel perhaps, twenty-five thousands
miles $1,000 to reach us-only six thousand
(G,OOO) miles away. This plan of mine, of a
cable from California to China, would save us
three-fourths of the distance, cost, and time
now expended.
The amount Of money spent every year by
the Government and people of the United
States for sending their messages through
English cables from America to Asia is larg-
Ell than the interest at seven per cent, of the
capital necessary for the construction of the
Sub-Pacihc cable
Marry America to China and Japan by an
electric cord at the bottom of the sea, and
the fruit of the union will be the extension of
our civilization, the increase of our commerce,
the maintenance of our national comfy, the
diffusion of christianity, and the common good
Of mankind
GENTLEMEN, the time will come when all
of you will feel an honorable pride to have
given your powerful support to this grand I'M
dertaking, and, to conclude, promise you
the grand and enviable reward to share with
us the glory to have contributed toward ex-
tending to more than third of the sons of
Adam the improvements of modern times,
and the gratitude of the present and future
generations.

Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
COMMITTEE:
The Government and people of the United
States fully appreciate the need and high
importance of quick and direct communi-
cation between the Pacific Coasts of Ameri-
ca and those of Asia, and the inhabitants of
California, who are the most interested, and
therefore warmly desire and favor the idea
of Sub-Pacifc Cable, which will be the
forerunner of many other enterprises, and
all combined will contribute to make San
Francisco the clearinghouse, and the inter-
mediary point between Eastern Asia, the
United States, and Western Europe.
According to the good order of things,
the time and distance at sea regulates the
market on land, so anything starting from
our western sea coasts reaches the land
where it is surprising far sooner than from
any other part of Europe. All this induces
the citizens Of California and Oregon to
firmly believe that China and Japan, could
be made for the Americans and same vast
field of commerce, enterprise and wealth,
that the East Indies have been to the Eng
lish. They are not to be conquered by
arms, but by the peaceful inventions of the
steamers, railways, and telegraphs.
At present the Americans are dependent
upon English enterprise for conveying their
submarine messages from the United States
to China and Japan and rice versa.
Now, the gentlemen at the head of the
AMERICAN AND AsIATIC TELEGRAPH CON-
PANY, whose names, with mine, are printed
in the bill whose respectability is proveIbial
in California, and whose collective wealth is
far superior to the amount of money required
to complete this enterprise, have entrusted
to me the high honor to come and speak
before you, and assure you that they design

HUNTSVILLE, ALA, June 20, 1874.
To the Editor Of the Ne,o National Era:
"This is an interesting and novel specta-
Gle" said to friend as we stood on the
street Wednesday evening and watched a
Masonic procession pass with measured steps,
arrayed in their beautiful paraphernalia.
The evening was fine, soft breeze rippled
the leaves, and light clouds intercepted the
hot rays of the sAh. The handsome pro-
cession passed on, led by the Chattanooga
colored brass band, discoursing sweet music,
and it was long after the last knight of the
mystic order had passed before my friends
interest had sufficiently relaxed to reply:
" Not only is it interesting and novel, but it
is beautiful also. Besides being the first
celebration by colored Masons ever witnessed
on these streets, it is as fine looking body
of men as it has been my chance to see, and
would attract attention where these turnouts
are common" This celebration of St. Johns
day had been looked forward to with great
interest; and when the procession made its
appearance in the streets, it caused much
sensation, and was viewed all along the line
of march with great curiosity by throngs OF
spectators, colored and white. After the
line of march had been completed, the pro-
cession filed into the Methodist Church,
where a pleasant and entertaining address
was delivered to large audience by the
Grand Master, DR.. Levere,. of Knoxville.
DR.. Levere was followed by Mr.. Henry G..
Binford, the youngest member in the lodge,
who made brief address. In the evening a
large crowd Of invited guests assembled at
the Thespian Hall, where rich and sumptu-
GUS supper awaited them, The evening
