REMEMRER nay MOTHER.
Lead thy mother tenderly
Down lire's steep decline;

Lead thy mOIher tenderly
Down life's steep decline;
Once her arm was thy support,
Now she leans on thine.
See upon her loving face
Those deep lines Of care;
Think-it was her toll for THE
Left that record there.
Ne'er forget her tireless watch
Kept by day and night,
Taking from her step the grace,
From her eye the light,
Cherish well her faithful heart,
Which, through weary years,
Echoed with lis sympathy
all thy smiles and tears.
Thank God for thy mothers love-
Guard the priceless boom;
For the bitter parting hour
Cometh all too soon.
When thy grateful tenderness
Loses power to save,
Earth will hold no desrer spot
Than thy mothers gravel

colored people living in agricultural districts
Of Alabama1 from being entertained by our
Northern friends, and to ask aid from them in
plan that we would risk to adopt TO benefit
the colored people and give them fair
chance, untrammeled by the hostility of those
who look with hatred or contempt upon all
efforts TO better his condition made by the
colored man, that we address the people of
the United States favorable TO the real eman-
cipation of the negro from practical slavery.
We have therefore organized an Emigration
Association and given TO them authority to
take such steps as will best effect the early
settlement Of a colony of eolored families in
the far West, which, In case of success, may
be nucleus around which many thousands
of the hard working colored families Of Ala
baina may build up for themselves happy
homes. The continued spoliation of the
colored people of their earnings has
rendered them unable to pay for
the transportation of their families
to the localities where they desire to go; and
we therefore ask the assistance of all lovers
Of freedom and enemies to human slavery to
carry us TO a portion of the country where we
may have an equal chance in the struggle for
life and fortune To carry out the foregoing
object we have appointed commissioners to
visit Northern cities and solicit aid and lecture
upon the true condition Of the colored people
Of Alabama at the present time.
The foregoing address was adopted by the
unanimous vote of the convention, forty coun-
ties of Alabama being represented at the time
of its adoption by regularly-elected delegates,
A resolution was then passed, asking Re-
publican and Independent papers favorable to
the amelioratiOn of the condition of the col
ored people of Alabama to publish this ad-
dress. PHILIP JOSEPH,
President of the Convention.

distinct species. The eyes are well
formed, although these fishes live part
of the time in obscurity. 1t seems that
as far back as 1949 the Governor of the
oases of Thebes and Gable, in Egypt,
stated that an artesian WELL about 105
feet deep, which he had cleaned out,
furnished for his table fishes which
probably came from the Nile, as the sand
which he had brought up from this arte-
sian we'll was identical with that of this
river. In the Sahara, as in Egypt, these
fishes were carried away by the waters,
which filtered into the soil down to the
subterranean sheet into which the arte-
sian wells open. Gervais claims to have
established the fact that these subter-
ranean fishes are essentially fluviatile,
and that some like them are found in the
rivers of Senegal and Mozambique, of
Syria and Egypt, of the Iberian peninsula,
and even America. Their fossil repre-
sentatives are not found in deposits of
marine origin, and all that we know oc-
cur in lacustrine formations. The exist
ence of these fishes cannot, then, serve
as an argument for the former presence
of the waters of the Mediterranean on
the soil of the north of Africa.-Hdrper's

Married a Kentucky GentIeman--
A Few Presents Worth HaVing--
Phenomenal Display of Hospitality
TO HaclKmen.
The Diamentia (BrazlD correspondent Of
the Albany Egening Jour al writes a glowing
account of the marriage of the only daughter
of De Souza Cabral, the Diamond King of
Brazil, with George Arthur Throckmorton,
of Kentucky. The Sharon nuptals, recently
celebrated in San Francisco, were generally
thought to be remarkable because of their
magnihcence, the wealth and beauty of the
bride ana the value of the marriage gifts; but
it was no more worthy to be compared with
this than farthing candle-light is to brill
liant noon-day sun.
The story is evidently intended us a satire
upon the pretentious display recently made
on the occasion of the Pacific nuptials. 1t
reads substantially as follows;
The brides father has an income of $40, ,OOO, :
600, derived from his mines, real estate, stocks
and other personal propertles-the whole OF
which is worth, according to sworn state.
ment recently made before one of the Brazil
ian courts, $4,000, 100000. Throckmorton
who is worth the tritle of S6,0O00O0, recently
met the bride at a ball, and fell in love with
her at sight, and his love was returned in
stanter, so they say. Finally the wedding
was arranged. The invitations were writer
upon parchment and inclosed In sandal-wooC
boxes with gold keys and locks, and sent by
special messengers to the favored parties

quence men are rarely bitten by their
own dogs. The voice of the master
seems to overcome the fury of the dis
ease for time at least, and an animal
restless with madness will be quieted by
the sound Of his masters voice, and inn
mediately obey him. In fact, M Bonley
seems to think that in cases where obedi-
ence does not follow the call of the
beloved voice the fault is not due to the
dogs unwillingness, but to the fact that
disease has blinded his senses, and he
does not hear. Not less remarkable is
the explanation given Of rabid dogs
tendency to roam. Controlled as such
dogs are by their affectionate regard for
their friends" says M. Bonley, p" am
inclined to believe that the poor beasts
strive to obey these nobler impulses
when, before giving way to the disease,
they run away from home and disappear.
1t seems as if they were conscious OF the
harm they might do, and to avoid in
flicting this inIuty they run away from
those they love-"

Why Mad Dogs Don't Bite Their
Masters.

Dogs are usually credited with good
deal of intelligence and feeling, but
never, perhaps, have their higher facul-
ties received such marked recognition as
from M. Bonley, veterinary surgeon
of such prominence as to be member OF
the French Institute and general in
spector of the veterinary schools in
France. In lecture on hydrophobia he
points out that the comparative immuni-
ty of masters from attacks by their dogs
is in great part due to the affection the
animal feels for those about him. THE
affectionate feeling of the mad dog to,
