LOTrIE'S BALL DRESS.

LotticP
MIR. and Mrs. Clarence Mellon had
been married scarcely more than year
NOT long enough for the first gloss
to be worn off her wedding ring
rot long enough to forget the Gu
chanted gold shine of the honeymoon !;
aud now, upon this clear December
morning, tho young wife sat nt the
breakfast table, i'll q most becoming
neglige of rose-ribbons and dove-col-
ored cashmere, with an open note in her
hand, and her blue eyes sparkling with
delighted animation. A pretty picture
to look upon, for AIre. Mellen was very
pretty-a tall, velvet checked blonde,
with her hair SHINING like i,raidoaz zrun7,
beams, beneath the coquettish little
breakfast-cap she wore.
Best, Clarence? Why, of cou rse, it
is best! Lulu Sparks would give her
ears to get cards to Mrs. Benedict's
ball"
"I dare say" said MIR. MelIen, dry1y.

"Because we attend ball at their

with thon,," poutcd tho yeung wife, be-
ginning to pull at the fringe of her
breakfast napkin. sol course, if they
invite us, it is only natural to suppose
that they want us to come,"

out of compliment to Mr.. Benedict's

"And it would bo very rude not to

. MORTALITY OF THE RACEs.-Some
time ago, mention was made OF the re-
msrkable mortality oi the colored peo-
pie Of Charleston, SOUTH Carolina, as
compared with mortality among the
whites-the basis used for the oompa-
rison being weekly returns, covering
less than month. Still more strik-
ing results are presented by the health
officer of Charleston in the returns for
the year. The deaths OF whites dur
ing the year numbered 718; colorrd
1890. The estimated white popula.
ton is $4,000. That Of the colored is
$4,000. Thus che ratio of deaths is
one for every % whites, and one for
every, 81 colored. The health officer
says in his report that "previons to
the war. consum ption among the
blacks was of rare occurrence, and
then only among the well-marked
scrofula diathesis Of the African de-
scendant." The increase of the die.
ense is ascribed to exposure, dissipa.
ton, want of proper nutrition, cloth
officer says that the only hope of saw
ing the race from the fate of the Ame-
rican Indians is in securing to them
moral, religious and industrial educa-
tion, That this fear of their dying
out in that locality is not an idle one,
is shown not only by the general
.death.rate of the race, bnt particularly
by the death.rate among children
under ave years of age. The proper
ton Of colored still-born to whites was
last year as to Il; tho proportion OF
deaths under Ave years as 2 to land
this in a cpmmunity almost equally
divided by the two races. Carpet
bagism and Congressional legislation
of the sort fashionable with the domi-
nant party for the South, will never
better, but add to this deplorable con
dition Of the oolored people.
