Nearly all this basement door charity
goes to the manufacture of paupers.
Hundreds of men and women have quit
all forms of work and live on the daily
rounds of these children. The whole
system of street begging should be termi-
mated by the police, because it brings
about two-fold calamity; it builds up
an idle and wicked class and induces half
the good people of the city to feel that
they are filling up at the basement
door their part of christian charity.
The only safe benevolence is that
which knows the man or the family or
the child it is helping. A citizen one
day said: "I cannot help you because
I do not know you" The person replied,
" If you will come to my house you can
know ALL" The citizen went and found
the father an invalid, the mother indus
trious.and honest, and the children bare
footed and cold and hungry. He knows
now when his cold victuals and old
clothes pass out of his house TO what
grateful and worthy hearts his charity
goes. Nothing can save the world from
being bad one for many, but its suffer-
ing may be modified by an earnest and
wise ebenevOlence.-G Chicago Alliance.

italy in Africa,

Ever since the unifcation of Italy was
accomplished, the king aud cabinet of
that country have cast longing eye in
the direction of Tunis. The French
have always spoken of their north Af-
rican possessions as the natural con-
tinuation of France, and glance at
the map viii show that Tunis holds the
same relative position to Italy that AL
geria holds toward the land of the Gaul.
For the past few years Italian intrigue
has been directed toward Tunis i'll the
effort to provoke the latter country to do
something that would afford a pretext
for her subjugation. The French con-
quest of Algeria was the immediate re-
suit of a quarrel between the dey of AL
giers and the French consul, in which
the dey forgot his dignity so far as to
strike the consul with fan. Following
French example, the Italian consul has
sought quarrel with MOhammed-es-
Sadok, She bey of Tunis, and it is cur
rently believed among the other foreign
ers at Tunis that his conduct is in obedi-
ence to instructions. Every few months
he presents claims of Italian subjects who
allege that they have suffered loss in the
ports of Tunis in consequence OF the ac-
tion of the bey's officers. Some of these
claims are pretty well known to be ex-
Orbitant, if not wholly fictitious their
settlement has been delayed as long as
possible, but eventually the bey has paid
them rather than afford Italy the pre-
text she wants. On certain festivals 1t
is the custom for the foreign consuls to
call upon the bey and extend their con
gratulations; on several occasions the
Italian consul has neglected this formal
ity, and afforded the bey brilliant op-
portunity for anger which might lead to
a rupture. But the bey continues to
treat ihe consul with great pOliteness,
and paws no need to these affrOnts. Gen
eral Khavr ed-din, the Tunisian prime
minister and minister of foreign affairs,
is a man of great shrewdness, and thus
far has been able to steer clear of COM
plications with Italy by giving her no
excuse for crossing the Mediterranean
with an army. Tunis is understood TO
have the warm friendship of France,
which very naturally desires no Euro
pean neighbor on the frontier of Algeria.
This is a subject which may assume some
inheritance in case of a European war.
Italy was reported to have favored Rus
sia in rejecting Turkeys offer of q five
months armistice-a step which suggests
some understanding between the two
powers. Undoubtedly the contingency
of the defeat of Turkey, and the dismem-
berment of her territory, has presented
itself to the Italian statesmen; and a
cordial understanding with Russia would
be a good anchor to windward in any
designs against Tunis, for the tributary
state would be powerless after the fall OF
the Ottoman empire. After all, it Is
quite natural that Italy, after recover
ing Rome, should endeayor ia gain pos
session of Carthage.-M Y. Tribune.

Our young townsmeE, Dick Rich

their already well deserved reputation

boro, by their manly efforts to help
extinguish the fire that occurred whilst
they were there Their hearts were so
fred up in another way, that we think
they will visit that section often in the
future. Let them COVE indorse
them.
These young gentlemen are loud in
their praise of the kind reception given
them, and the unstinted hospitality ex-
tended to them on all sides. Their
enjoyment was doubly enhanced by
participating in gay party given by
Capt Ridley, at the residence of j..
w. Elliott. The bright eyes, and
lovely forms of the refined young ladies
there assembled, to say nothing of the
profusion of strawberries and cream,
still haunt their dreams, and finally
when they adjourned to the yard be-
decked with gay young ladies, flowers
and Chinese lanterns, our boys became
so bewildered that they have not fully
recovered yet.

SECOND DAY.
Anniversary Of Prof. Dinwiddie's
COlOred Sunday School.

This event which took place last
Sunday evening in Franklin Hall was
quite success. A large assemblage
of colored people joined in the exer-
cises throughout with evident inter-
est, and a considerable number of
white people present was evidently
impressed with the great importance
of the movement. For ourselves we
have no doubt of the primary i'm
portance of it. If the Christian peo-
pie of this community believe that
the colored people have souls at all,
then the effort to reclaim them must
surely have the priority over all other
missionary efforts; but subordinate to
this though of immense importance,
is the consideration that all such eff
forts have tendency to place the
white and colored races again in
friendly intercourse and to take the
latter away from the exclusive infu-
ence of scalawags and carpet baggers.

THE CHRONICLE-VOLUME FORTY
FOUR,


With the present issue we enter
upon the 44th volume Of the CHRONI-
Gle. If it has no other merit, our
readers viii certainly grant that is has
lived to a ripe, old age. From its In
cipiency to the present it has been the
constant endeavor of those having
control of its management to render it
worthy of patronage and support and
to exert an humble influence for good
by promulgating what they deemed
correct principles, honestly advocated.
Many personal friends whose names
appeared upon its first subscription
list have never Withdrawn their patron
age, but have kept us company in all
the years that have interviewed. We
do not mention this fact in boastful
spirit, but to show the appreciation in
which the paper has been held by a
number of our worthy citizens and pa
irons. We have endeavored to keep
pace with improvements made in jour-
nalism to the extent Of our means, and
to-day We are sending out a specimen,
in size and typographical make up of
which we are not ashamed-and the
gradual increase of readers steadily
coming to our support leads us to the
belief that our efforts are not in vain.
Since the commencement of our last
volume we have been called upon to
mourn the loss of the then editor, Mr..
r. W. THoMAs-whose qualities of
head and heart had endeared him to
us in ties that it were hard to sever.
But enough, just here. To fill the po-
sition he so long and ably occupied we
have secured the services Of DIR. d. T.
WRIGHT, a gentleman of experience.
culture and enlarged views, with the
firm belief that he will meet the ex-
pectations of our numerous readers.
The present year is one of the most
important of the century, in all that
pertains to our national prosperity,
therefore it behooves US to do allin our
power to send out a paper that shall
prove a worthy auxiliary in promoting
and sustaining the credit and hon
or of our common country. Con-
tinue to uphold us by your confidence
and suppost and enable us to battle
manfully for the right and the good
of all.

trial OF reapers and mowers to be held by

ham, England, in July next, and for entry
in the Royal Agricultural Show to be held
in Sweden in the same month. The par
ties making this purchase are old and lead
ing firms in their line in Europe, and re-
cogniZiDg the fact that machines of Ameri-
can manufacture are rapidly superseding
those of European make, have, after care
ful inquiry and examination of machines
made in this country, selected the Miamis-
