AT the adjourned village meeting
in the ante-room of the Town Hall,
there being but few persons present,
it was voted to dissolve, so the action
of the former meeting stands. Now
the rub is, to raise the necessary two
thirds by private subscription, to in
sure the building of the proposed iron
fence around the Park. The matter is
inthe hands of an excellent committee
who will do all they can for the fence.

9oz, smallest, 4 lbs. They were
planted outdoors, in common season,
and we spent about fifteen minutes
labor on them. AT two cents a
pound, what they sell for at the mar
ket, we have the sum of $500 cents
for the lot. Yet some say farming
don't pay, and that $3.50 year is
too much for a weekly newspaper!

GOOD ADVICE.
Ho was quito scvoro upon Pro.
fessor John NJ. Langston for main
tanning that the mulatto is tho
superior of the black man intellec-
tually He told the colored people
thut they must get money and keep
it if thoy wished to elevate them
selves. One trouble with them is
that they always want to be going
somewhere, and do not stay in ono
place or ut one timo long enough
to accumulate. A poor people arc
always q despiscd people. TO bc
respected they must got money and
property. Without money there is
no leisure without leasure thero is
no thought without thought no
progress. Their preachers should
tell moro about what to do and less
about what to feel. They should
cultivate their brains moro and their
lungs less. They should not depend
upon being helped, but should do
for themselves. Ho WAS tired of
:Ethiopia holding out her hands.
They should not depend upon tho
Lord for everything. Tho Lord is
good and kind, but is Of tho most
,,lse to those who do for themselves.
No man has right to live unless no
lives honestly, and no man lives
honestly who lives upon another
He gave tho ,colored part of his
audience some of the best advice
and soundost instruction they havo
had for many q day. The only
political allusion he made in his
speech was in saying that the
Southerners could control the voto of
the negroes in tho Southern States
far more completely than Norther-
ners could. Tho colored man
turned instinctivoly for advice and
assistance to those who had boon
raised with him.
Among others who sought Mr..
Douglass out after his address was
MIR. William w. Bruff, who taught
him reading, arithmetic and
geography fifty years ago. Marshal
Douglass learned his age from Cap
tain Auld, who has n record Of his
birth, wherein it appears that ''Fred
Bailey was born in February, 1915"
A CnURCH NANE-The Diocesan
Council of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in WISCONSIN adopted tho
following resolutions the other day:
RcsoIve0, That tho Diocese of
Wisconsin, sympathizing with tho
efforts being made to remove the
words "Protestant Episcopal" for
the legal title Of "Ihe Church" do
request it's deputies to the General
Convention to aid any and all efforts
made toward the restoration of her
catholic and apostolic title to "The
Church in America
Rcsolued, That the deputies to the
General Convention from this Do
cese ,bo reqne ested to asl: of the Gen
Icral Convention the appointment of
q constitutiopal !cQMmission, to
which tho question Of q change in

a few weeks. Cornelius, Jr., is moving
in the matter, and several of his BROTH
ers-in-law are backing him. The old
man left, undoubtedly, an estate OF n
hundred millions of dollars, of which
ninety-five millions was given to n
son, William H., Internationally, and
the most Of the five millions goes back
to him on the death of the recipients.
For instance, Cornelius gets nothing
absolutely-all that he has is the in
come of $500, 600 for life, which is
about S12, 900 per year. One or two of
the sisters had a half-million each left
them out and out. The idea of the
old man was to keep his fortune in the
hands of William. that the great
schemes which engrossed his life, and
which he had not time TO carry out,
might he continued. If the fight is
made it will be a lively lie. 1t is the
largest estate in the country, and the
lawyers will have fat pickings, no mat
ter how it is decided.
BUSINES
is very bad, and the railroad fights are
making it worse. The discrimination
against New York is driving the grain
trade to other points, and the outlook
is blue. The merchants are holding
meetings, begging the Legislature to
lower the tolls on the Erie canal, so
that next summer there will be some
revival in this particular, but through
the legislature there is but little hope
that it will be done. The railroads
want the canals killed, and between
them all New York is suffering fear
fully. There will be nothing done till
spring, and have very little hope then.

Manners.

Men succeed in their professions quite
as much by complaisance and kindliness
of manner as by talent. Demosthenes,
in giving his well-known advice to an
orator that eloquence consisted in three
things, the first "action," the second
a action" and the third "actiOn lis
supposed to have intended manner only.
A telling preacher in his opening re-
marks gains the goodwill of his hearers,
and makes them feel both that he has
something to say and that he can say it
by his manner. The successful medical
man, on entering a sick-room, inspires
into his patients belief in himself, and
that hope which is 50 favorable to lon
geyity-by his manner. Considering
that iurymen are scarcely personihcations
of pure reason unmixed with passion or
prejudice, a barrister cannot afford to
neglect manner if he would bring twelve
men one after another to his way of
thinking Again, has the business man
any stock in trade that pays him better
than a good address? And as regards the
survival of the fittest in tournaments
for a lady's hand, is it not natural
selection" when theold motto, " Manners
makyth man." decides the contest? AT
least Wilkes, the best hammered but
ugliest.man of his day, thought so. 81
am" he said, the ugliest man in the
three Kingdoms; but if you give me a
quarter of an hours start | will gain the
love OF any woman before the hand
somest." 1t kiudliuess OF disposition be
the essence OF good manners, our subject
is seen at once to shade of into the great
one of Christianity ITSELF 1t is the heart
that makes both the true gentleman and
the great theologian. The apostle Paul
(see speech delivered on Mars Hill)
always endeavored to conciliate his
