The cause of the great number of

NEGRO EQE4LITY.

The 2Gta and 30th amendments to the
Constitution relate to this subject. the first
prohibiting the intermiugling of races at
schools. while the other forbids intermar-
riages between negroes and whites.
Civil rights, in the worst acceptation Of
tho term. is not dead. 1t is dream yet to
be realized in its fullest sense. if the radi-
cal party gain supreme control Of the gov
ernment again.
In the famous secret programme issued in
Newbcrn in The Spring Of last year BY the
radical executive committee. a copy Of
which fell into our hands, we find the fol-
lowing:
Resolved Q. That an extended discus,
sion of the Civil Rights bill is deemed IN
advisable, but that the Republicans should
never intimate that the bill is wrong in
principle or that it wili'bo disastrous il its
operations.
Judge Fowlc in bis speech at G raham
aroused attention to tue fact that Civil
rights was still living issue, and that il
was put in practice BY whites with more
zeal Of party than pride Of race. He illus
tratcd il b. the examples drawn from the
thorough social equality existing between
the delegates to the Cincinnati Convention
both on their way and at tia Hotels; BY
the conduct Of inGael Thorne in taking two
negro fellows as his room mates at Raleigh,
and b. other signal examples. more politi-
cal perhaps than social.
The Wilson Advance gives recent in
stance where the fell spirit is shown to be
still alive. based upon the fondcst hopes Of
full fruitiOn. A church in Nash county.
attended by both whites and blacks. and
where place was specially provided for the
latter. was invaded by two negro men, who
took possession of the choir, and were with
difficulty gotten out. They then sauntered
into the yard. and obtruded themselves up
on the ladies, offering their services to es-
cort lthom about the grounds. and when
conpelledto desis.. one Of them said, '.the
time viii soon come when We can sit with
white women IN church. wait on them, aud
marry them at our own pleasure
When We see the determined efforts Of
the radical leaders to hold The negroes. we
can well believe that they stop short Of no
promises, and that the negro believes that
bis hopes are practical. It's true that the
more sensible negro desires no such priyi-
lege. but there are thousands who are
caught With just sneh alluremenis.
The inference from all Of which Is that
Civil Rights is not dead and must not be
trusted. The Only remedy is to put down
tic radical party and keep il down.

FIFTEEN HUNDRED FEET UNDER GROUND
IN NEVADA, AND WHAT MAY BE SEEN
THERE.

1t takes only five minutes. You step on
the stage and the hand that guides the Ii
tan at the surface touches the reins of his
black monster and you are plunged into the
gloom. The cage stops and you are more
than quarter of mile below the busy
city. From the dusty highways you have
stepped into the worlds grandest treasure
house you have passed from the temperate
to the tropical zone in minute-you are in
the Bonanza.
1t is no little thing to work mine 300
feet below the surface. True, there are broad
avenues, broad timbers which, like Atlas,
seem competent to support world, there are
engines at work and cars running, but every
glimpse of the men reveals the exertion
necessary to keep up this conflict with the
spirits that guard the hurried treasure below,
The men are stripped to the waist, those
brawny: delivers, with perspiration bursting
from every pore.
1t looks pleasant down there in the mimic
streets and under the lanterns glare, but be.
fore those streets were opened there was in
the sitting air a work performed that can
not be calculated. Picks were swung, drills
were struck, powder was burned, men faint
ed and fell in their places but the work went
on, So it will proceed in the future. until,
probably, after another sixteen years, they
will be working 5000 feet below the sur
face.

Wanted q Farm.

A Detroit real estate agent was waited on
by tall man with weed on his hat, and
said he had the cash to pay for farm, pro-
vidcd he could get one to suit. The agent
smiled him to a seat, and brought out reg
lister of descriptions. He had several farms
registered On his books, and he had no doubt
that he could suit the would-be purchaser
The stranger remarked:
"What / want is farm about three hun
drcd acres"
"Pve got it, )" replied the dealer.
"Pd like about six big hills on it"
"IIere she is here's farm with exactly
six hills on it,"
"And I'd like lake near the centre"
"Here you are. Here is farm with a
lake exactly in the centre"
"And want big natural cavern in one
of the hills"
"Here you are. There's cave on this
that can't be beat"
The stranger drew a long breath and went
en-:
81 want farm of three hundred acres,
but one hundred acres must be marsh land"
"EIere she is, was the ready reply. "Just
three hundred acres in the farm, and just
one hundred in marsh land"
81 must have a waterfall twenty-six feet
high on the farm" continued the striln-
ger.
''Here you are. This farm has a natural
waterfall of twenty-five feet aud eleven inch
es. don't suppose an inch, more or less, Oh
waterfall amounts to much -
"Well, no, but l want windmill on one
of the hills"
THAT WAS put up last year." was the
calm reply.
1t was some time before the stranger
thought Of anything else, but finally said:
"There must be church right across the
road from the house."
"One built there last summer, sir"
at must be brick church."
$50 it is"
"Has it an organ p
"It has"
"Then can't buy the farm ofyou," said
the stranger, rising to go. If there is any
thing hate, it is church organ. and you
can see for yourself that l. would be in a
state OF continual misery. The farm suits
me first rate, but l can't go that organ"
Just what estimate those two men placed
upon each others veracity as they separa-
ted will never be known.

Old CnriOsities.

There are certain items which no collector
allows his museum TO be without. Livery
amateur numismatic has his Queen Annes
farthing, though the number issued was but
three, and only two are known to exist. IL
was said that if all the musical collectors
we're to join together their specimens of the
strings on which Paganini played in his
prison we should have length of catgut
that would stretch from London to Glasgow.
The hull of the unfortunate Royal George
has supplied carved woodwork enough to
furnish terrace, and American ladies are
known to have in their possession so many
locks of Charles Dickens hair that they can
supply the wig makers of New York with
the greatest ease. But the knife with which
Charlotte Corday stabbed Murat has long
been the pride of French museums, and
recent discovery is likely to add to the num-
ber of its reputed owners.
A Partisan inspector of prisons, finding
himself in the town of Caen, took occasion
| To examine the archives of the gaol. In a
cupboard that was fastened he found a par
eel, with letter sealed And tied up with it.
The letter stated that on the occasion of the
perquisition made upon the house Of the
parents of the ctizeness Charlotte Corday,
eleven knives were found, being similar in
pattern to the one used by the said Charlotte
Corday in the crime perpetrated by her on
the person of the citizen Marat. The inspec-
tor then proceeded to open the box, and
found eleven knives, of great beauty of exc
cution, and of English manufacture. They
| were carefully wrapped in tissue paper, and
the whole package was labelled 'To be for
| warded at once to be added to the other evil
dence against the prisoner" These details
are given in French newspaper ''under all
| reserve" but whatever may be the truth Of
| the story We may expect to find its immedi-
| ate effect upon the cabinet of curiosity COL
| ectors. A new prize is added to the lottery
and we must in future expect to see not
| merely the knife with which Charlotte Cor
day stabbed Marat, but the eleven others
which constituted the dozen in the house Of
her parents. Wherever this strong corrobo-
rative evidence is wanting we may feel our
selves justified in doubling the genuineness
of the Exhibition London Globe.

The Origin Of the Chinese Queue.

The history of the Chinese queue is told
by the Rev. Julius Doolittle. missionary
in China. as follows "The Fl st emperor of
the present dynasty, who began to reign in
l644, having usurped the throne, determined
to make the tonsure of Manchuria, his ma
tive country, the token of submission of the
Chinese to his authority. He ordered them
to shave all the head except the crown, au d
allowing the hair on that part to grow long
and to dress it according to the custom OF
Mauchuria. Tho Chinese had been accus.
toned under native emperors TO wear long
hair over the whole head, and to arrange il
in tuft or coil. The change was gradual
but finally prevailed through the Empire.
At first those who saved their heads and con.
formed to the laws received, it is said. a
present of a tael of silver, after n while only
half II tael, and then only tenth of tael
and afterwards only an egg-fnslly even All
egg was not allowed. The law requiring
the pt ople to shave aud braid the queue was
not only rigidy enforced by the penalty OF
immediate death, but it became very mani.
fest that those who did not conform to the
wishes of the dominant dynasty would new
er become successful in lawsuit against
those who did not conform, nor would they
succeed at the literary examinations"
