A NEW DEPARTURE BY THE COL0RED vO.
TERS-THEY PROPOSE TO JOIN TIKI
CONSERVATIVE RANKS.

WASHINGTON, March la delegation of
colored men called at the rooms of the DEM
ocratic National Committee, asking political
recognition. Their printed declaration, which
was adopted by large meeting held here
Friday, Feb. 25th, commences: We. colored
Territories of the United States, are tired
Of our selfimposed party yoke; its injustice to
usandi its fragrant violations Of the Constitution
in order to trample out local self government
and insult our brave and well disposed fellow
citizens of the South, and earnestly believe
that division Of the solid phalanx of colored
voters will act benefcially upon the two great
parties, and therefore We propose to stand by
principles, and will support only those men
who will do the most for Us. This policy,
we believe, will inure to the lasting tranquil
lily OF the country, and speedy return to
good feeling between the late m aster and the
now free citizen will follow.
We INVOKE the blessing Of the Almightp God
upon this carefully considered departure.
and invite the hearty and cordial co-opera-
ton Of the colored people OF the whole coun-
try, who like us have cause for we'll grounded
complaint, to organize to the end that their
ballots may subserve the peace of the coun-
try, the determination of all the people, and
the prosperity and uni6cation Of all the Sec
tons of our indivisible Republic.

A Wonderful Agricultural Feat.

A wonderful feat was performed the
other day by Mr.. Charlwood, a farmer
of PadwOrth, who made a wager that
he would, without assistance, put up on
carts the product of twenty acres of
wheat, and send il to be stacked, the
time specified being as long as he could
see TO load in the morning and as long
as he could at night. Beginning his
task at AS in the morning, Mr.. Charl-
wood completed il by 9:20 at night,
and thus won his wager. 1t is COM
puted that during the time this vigorous
farmer was at work he did not carry a
less quantity Of wheat than 200 sacks
and IS or 90 tons of straw-calculated
10 be equal 10 what would be consider
ed fair amount of work for three days
for an ordinary agricultural laborer.
There can be no doubt that the feat
performed by Mr.. Charlwood was an
extraordinary one, and entities him to
great credit for his energy and perse-
verance. But the British agricultural
laborer can, when put on his mettle,
get through an immense amount of
work in an incredibly short time. A
notable instance of this was afforded in
the year 1905 by William Stanton, a
day laborer to Mr.. Dodheld, of Breedo,
near Tewkesbury, Of whom it is record
ed that "he threshed upwards of sixty
bushels Of pulse between six in the
morning and six in the evening of the
same day, besides taking it down from
the now himself, and after it was
threshed helping to winnow it. All
this was done and the pulse put in bags
before O'Clock the same night
These facts in the harvest field and
barn do not attract so much attention
a the attempts to swim across the
channel, now so fashionable at this
season Of the year, but they are quite
as worthy Of record.-PdH NAL Gazette.

Drinking Beer In Germany.

A handsomely dressed, dignified look
ing lady arose from the corner, where
she had been knitting, and approached
me with, Was wuenschen sic, gnaedi-
ger Herr?" The "worshipful sir" in
formed her deferentially that he wanted
Berlin beer She disappeared to the
cavernous depths below, and presently
returned bearing the beer in the most
remarkable glass ever saw the beyer-
age served in. IL was like "A great
smooth berry dish without handles, of
about the size and shape of ''pug
hat with the rim cut OFF, and, by ac-
tual measurement then and there, was
tweaty inches in circumference and
nine inches high. | tried to span it
about with my two hands, but these
could by no means accomplish the job.
It is called "pokal," which CORE
spends, suppose, with the beaker or
tankard of our tongue, and they tell
me that the style is of great antiquity,
but is now only found in very e'sgell"
and old-fishioned restaurants. Ii is
certainly a goblet worthy of Gambri-
nus himself, and its appearance when
filled would strike terror to the souls of
whole State temperance society. This
queer-looking glass contained about a
quart and half of tawny chrome
colored beverage, which was surmount-
ed by good inch OF. solid looking white
foam, SO dense that ~ first took it for
yeast, and had some trouble in getting
my mouth and nose through it TO make
the desired junction between the former
organ and the liquor below. l fouEd
its strength very light, its flavor slightly
acid or sourish, its general style that OF
diluted hard cider which had suddenly
become efiervescent. After serving me
the gorgeous waitress laid aside her
knitting and, going to fine, full-toned
piano in another of the deep recesses,
played away at a succession Of melodies
in a style worthy Of concert room.
All the old fogies around listened in
grave approval, but never intermitted
smoking or drinking, or vouchsafed
her single rap of aPplause.-DreSden
Cor. Detroit Free Press.
