Families may be brought to the State

Variety or Opinions.

To The Editor Of the Ne,o Ndioaai Esu:
l cannot imagine the existence of dissent
ings and controversies, or even of differences
OF opinions in a perfect state. In heaven
there may be degrees of knowledge, and men
may advance from one height of contempla-
ton to another; but whatever they may
know they will know accurately.
There cannot be there that uncertainty in
association of thought, and that indefinite
ness of language, which so cloud all our ideas
and speculations now. But we are not living
in perfect state; diversity seems like law
Of nature. There are, | admit, general lines
yet the individual has always his own points
of difference. Though working upon typical
forms, yet nature bcstOws something of indi-
viluality upon every one of its creatures,
and civilization tends to increase this diver
gence. In wild state the animals are very
similar to one another. No sooner do we
domesticate them than difference of size and
color develop themselves, and we find also
that every one has his own peculiar traits
and disposition. What is true in regard to
the animals, can be truthfully applied to
colored men of this and other countries. As
they climb the ladder of science, the mind
becomes enlightened; they will differ on
all questions of intricate value, and at the
same time have the manlness to express
them without fear of receiving the title of
Judases. AS to my not been naturalized
in answer to that assertion that should not
be used in suppressing freedom Of thought,
taking it for granted l am not, l can say |
have done as much for the race as they have
done for themselves in acquiring their rights,
while these gentlemen now dispute my
exercising, Freedom of thought.) L have
yet to say was against the passage of the
Civil Rights Bill. l said if the school clause
was passed Congress should give some guar
antee that when these States fail to support
the schools we shall not suffer, but can feel
safe regardless to their dOings. These are
only my opinions, which could have had no
effect whatever.
| Now, gentlemen, turn your guns in the
right direction and combat with those who
was sent with powers delegated to them
through the black mans vote to battle for
their rights, and has since failed in doing so.
I Respectfully yours,
w. b. DERRICK.

In MemOriam.

Lucy E. Chalfant, wife of Henry c.
Chalfant, was born June IA, 1S49, and
died at her home near the HopeweIl M
E. Church, Feb. 10, 1874.
Lucy was the daughter of James P.
James, and her mother died when she
was but child, but Lucy grew up to be
good, and was united in marriage with
Mr.. Chalfant, March Is, 1869. Sister
Chalfant had been afflicted nearly year,
but has been released from her sufferings,
being in her twenty-6fth year when she
passed away.
She leaves two interesting children,
too young to realize their loss now. May
the Lord bless and keep them. Lucy
was always good and kind, but when we
commenced a series of meetings there
and visited her, she was soon brought to
feel her need of personal piety and was
the first (of thirty-nine) to unite with
the church and seek the pardoning and
renewing grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ. The last time she was at church
was last summer when with thirty-three
ed into the full fellowship of the church,
she having united with the church on
probation in December 1872.
1 visited and prayed with this devo-
ted sister several times during her sick
ness, and administered to her the holy
sacramento, and she always assured me
that she was fully trusting in the Lord.
She was perfectly resigned, casting all
her cares on the Saviour as her burden
bearer, hence she was always cheerful
and never murmered or complained of
her lot or worried on account of the chill
dren. Dear young friends of Hopewell,
Lucy led the way in coming into the
church and has also led the way in
Heven. May we all follow her.

Pastor NJ. Z. Church.

The New England farmers. as a b

The New England farmers, as body,
are very much opposed to cheap trans
portation for Western produce, and to
the projects of the Grangers. Of late
years they have been crowded in their
own markets by Western competition.
Complaints about it come from the
farmers as far North as Vermont. Beef
brought from distant Texas is now sell
ing in Vermont at a cheaper price than
the farmers there can afford to raise it
for The same thing is true of hogs,
which are taken there from the West,
fatted up for fortnight, and offered be-
Vermont. So, also, with wheat and
corn These grains are taken from dis
tant Kansas and other Western States to
Vermont, and sold at prices which will
not pay to raise them for in Vermont.
Farming and cattle raising have become
improbable in the State on account of
Western competition. Even butter from
the West has this winter been selling in
the northwestern part OF Vermont at
rates which have compelled the Yer
mont producers to lower their terms. If
these things be so while the present rates
of freight are kept up, matters must be
still worse for them, in their opinion,
when the cheap transporters gain their
ends, and Western produce is whirled in
upon them at all times of the year. The
Vermont farmers appear to feel very
much discouraged at the prospect of
Grangerism.

Fifteen years more of the present rate

Oysters weighing three pounds and ten

The funeral expenses of men killed
in the Hoosac Tunnel, and paid by the
contractors, have amounted to SIC, 900 in
five years.
A colony of Germans Is said to have
been organized in Chicago, who have
bought 900 acres of land in Landudah

of raising silk worms.
A man and wife in Penobscot, Me,
died suddenly after eating dinner of
vegetables boiled in kettle. The pan
which covered the kettle had been
used in mixing meal and arsenic for the
cows, and had not been so thoroughly
cleansed but that deadly quantity of
poison was dislodged by the steam.
Fourteen fathers in Quincy, H.,
have signed an agreement to oblige their
daughters to learn to bake bread before
taking the first music lesson. They ar

doubtedly has charms TO soothe the saw
age breast, it has not the slightest inau-
ence upon the savage stomach.
Portland gossips have another matri-
monial case to talk about. A resident
of that city married his sisters daugh-

formed that his action was lawful, and
on Thursday his wife's father sued him
in a Court at Beddeford for illegal mar
riage.
A colored boy of New Haven, about
twelve years old, stole diamond ring

odical part of the affair was his attempt
to bribe the policeman who took charge
of him. 'If glib you some green
backs" said he, will you hush dis mat
ter?" The circumstances of the arrest
compelled the policeman to decline.

Lexington on Saturday morning last, to

ness in his intercourse with his profess
sional brethren and clients; by the zeal

the deceased, alluding to the uprightness
of his life and the many estimable
qualities of his heart

National Bureau of Health.

A proposition is before Congress
to create a National Bureau of
Health. 1t is proposed that this
Bureau of Health shall be under the
direction of the Department of the
Interior. An exchange, speaking OF
the matter, says:
"The bill now before the Senate,
was presented by Mr.. Sargent of
California. Its officers are to assist,
whenever called upon, the several
States and Territories of the United
States in the establishment of eff
cient sanitary and quarantine sys-
TENS and regulations. Its chief ex-
ecutive officer is to be appointed by
the President and Senate; he is to
have the title of "The Commission
er of Health" and he is to receive
as compensation a salary of 81, 600
per annum. This Commissioner of
Health is to acquire and preserve in
his Bureau all information in refer
ence to the various causes affecting
the public health, which he can OBJ
tain by means of books and CORES
pondence, and by practical and
scientific experiments. Accurate
records of these experiments are to
be kept in the office of the Bureau
of Health, and the statistics are to
be collected by the Commissioner,
who is to have the assistance of a
chief clerk and two assistant clerks,
together with such other clerks,
chemists, and experiments as may
be appointed. The fourth section of
the bill makes it the further duty of
the Commissioner of Health to col
lect standard works on the subject
of public hygiene, together with
pamphlets, essays, original papers,
&c. The Commissioner is to make
annually a general report in writing
of his acts to the President and to
Congress.

An Admirable Speech by a Good Old
Man.
From the New York Tribune IL.

From the New York Tribune IL.
The admirable little speech of Peter
Cooper at the Arcadian reception the
other night was studded with terse ex-
pressions of the philosophy OF life to
which his noble experience has led him
He was constrained to say that one Of
the things which now most surprised
him in his "reminiscences, was to observe
how much he had seen come to pass and
how little he had himself been able to
do. The recipe by which he had pre-
served at the age Of eighty-three his
youthful cheerfulness and buoyancy was
this: always to give friendly welcome
to new ideas, never to feel too old to
learn, never TO lose faith in human ma
ture, belief in the progress of man to a
better social condition, and trust in the
ability of man to establish and main
tain self-government. He recognized
that while the object of business is to
make money in an honorable manner,
the object of life is to do good. To
phrases like these we can add in a Sat-
urday's issue no pleasanter conclusion
to these "reminiscences of the old phi
lanthropist's latest appearance (long may
it be before we must say his lastD than
the words with which he ended his mod
est response to the speech in his honor:
"Let me say then, in conclusion, that
my experience of life has not dimmed
my hopes for humanity; that my sun is
not setting in clouds and darkness, but
is going down cheerfully in a clear
armament lighted up by the glory Of
God, who should always be veRerated
and loved as the infinite source and
fountain of all light, power, wisdom,

The tidal-wave of temperance which
the women have set in motion, and
which has been sweeping with resistless

New York Wool Market.

The general features of the Wool
market are rather more encouraging
this week, as the demand from manu-
features have improved somewhat, and
although sales are still mostly in rather
small lots, the aggregate business is very
satisfactory. The demand runs largely
upon the finer grades of Wool, and these
descriptions are reduced in stocks suffi-
ciently to give very firm tone to the
market, and give holders the CONTROL
There are free sellers at the currant pri-
ces, and no disposition is shown to ad-
vance quotations further, except on an
occasional exceptionally choice lot,
which may be held back for extreme
rates. The medium grades of fleece are
pretty firmly held, but the market does
not show much buoyancy on pulled, and
the holders of this description are sellers
at a shade under the extreme rates of
two weeks ago. The stock continues to
accumulate, and the market is rather in
favor of the buyer.
There has been rather more doing in
Texas Wool, and prices have improved
shade on the finer descriptions, some
some recent sales have been made at l
az cents above what was realized two
weeks ago. The coarser descriptions are
dull and without improvement.
