l0elI nature 10 the gentlemen upOo whom
the information was bestowed. The COM
mittee was an admirable selection, each
member thereof representing some peculiar
phase of our organization as q people which
enabled him to give desirable points of in
formation. The resources of the portion
of Dakota through which the proposed
extension would run. the commercial advan.
tages of the city OF Yankton. the nature of
the country over which the iron track would
be built. tue extent of present settlements,
the probabilities for the future the outlet
westward from Yankton via the Niobrara
valley and an ultimate connection With the
Union Pacific or Central Pacific were all
discussed at length. The rail.
road management was made to
see that the committee offered a terminus
which was not n furnishing possible fu-
ture advantages, but one already possessing
the b0iness and other advantages of a com.
mercial center. There was in the projec, no
speculation as to what might come to the
road or to Its eastern terminus through q
connection with Yankton. The business
already here and Yankton was inviting
to step in and take 1t. The
through which it would run in reach.
ing our city vas already we'll settled and
we'll developed. It was already

The Colored Death Rate.

In an interesting letter to the Cincinnati |
Commercial, II. V. Redfeld refers to the
facts lately noticed in this paper concern
ing the decrease of the colored race in the !
South. He says that he has collected
statistics in most of the principal cities of
the South which show the same result.
The average of black deaths to white,
taking all these cities together, he says, is
more than two to one; that is, the black
race in Southern cities is dying off more
than twice as fastas the white. While Mr..
Redfeld comedies that nearly all the
Southern cities have made praiseworthy
efforts in the direction of the education of
the Southern blacks, they have not been
able to induce them to care for their bodily
health. AS Mr.. Redfeld puts it, the aver
age colored man "has little moro idea of
sanitary rules and the laws of health than
horse. And they are almost as hard to
learn as SO many horses" Should not this
fact have been considered before Mr.. Red.
fields party threw them suddenly and en-
tirely upon their own resources? 1t is
somewhat strange to hear an old-time
abolitionist talk as Mr.. Redfeld does:
1T is doomed race in America, but the
doom is long way off. OF one thing you
may be sure, the increase under the slave
system, amounting to 25 per cent. every
ten years, will never be seen again. The
census of 1880 will learn us number of
things as to this propblem, the main one,
in my judgment, being that the race is not
increasing. 1t will likely hold its own, as
compared with the last census, but the in.
crease will be very small, if any. We have
a striking evidence of what to expect even
in the census of 1870 embracing some four
years of slavery and six of freedom. From
1850 to 1860 the increase among the blacks
was % per cent. From 1860 to 1870 it was
only 10 per cent, less than one-half! The
next census will set out the matter SO that
there can be no doubt whether the race is
to increase, decrease or barely hold its owr."
We do not take as gloomy a view of the
future as Mr. Redfeld. We believe that
good men of the white race will unite to
promote the sanitary welfare of the colored
people as far as they are permitted to do
so, and the more intelligent colored men
should join with the whites in promoting
an object so important to both races

How CALIFoRNIA RAIsINs ARE MAbE.-
The grapes are brought by the Sacramento
Valley railroad cars alongside the establish
ment, and taken to the first floor, where
they are assorted and dipped in a compost
ton of chemicals, which cuts the tough
pelliole of the skin, by which evaporation
is more easily effected they are put in the
driers, where heat is kept up of from one
hundred and forty to one hundred and
sixty degrees, and in the manner before
described are taken out at the top, where
they are put for short time in steam
box, which makes the stems flexible, and
enables them to be packed in layers with
out breaking the bunches; they are then
packed in Ct, 124 and 25 pound boxes,
nailed up and sent to the store-house. The
loose raisins are packed in paper boxes
made expressly for that purpose.

THE GRUMBLER.
BY DORA GooDALE 20 years old

HIS YOUTH.
His coat was too thick and his cap was too thin,
He couldn't be quiet, he hated din;
He hated to write, he hated to read,
He was certainly very much injured indeed;
He must study and work over books he detested,
His parents were strict, and he never was rested;
He knew he was wretched as wretched could be,
There was no one so wretchedly wretched as he.
HIS MATURITY.
His farm was too small and his taxes too big,
He was selfish and lazy, and cross as q pig;
His wife was too silly. his children too rude;
And just because he was uncOmmOnly good
He never had money enough or to spare,
He had nothing at all fit to eat or to wear;
He knew he was wretched wretched could be,
There was no one 50 wretchedly wretched as he.
HIS OLD AGE.
He finds he has sorrows more deep than his fears,
He grumbles to think he has grumbed for years;
He grumbles to think he has grumbled away
His home and his fortune, his lifes little day.
But. alas! tis too late-it is no use to say
That his eyes are too dm and his hair is too gray.
He knows he is wretched as wretched can be-
There is no one more wretchedly wretched than he

white. 1t is this part of a man which
alcohol attacks. The State of Pennsylvania
drinks up the value of all its property
every ten years" liquidates" it. 1t may
be said that this value is eaten up also in
the same time. But bread and meat make
men, while drink makes devils.
The last waste mentioned is "war"
Twenty years ago Mr.. Beeeher predicted
that wars had ceased. Since then, six of
the most terrible wars ever known, have
taken place. The brute power of man is
still in the ascendency. In Europe it is
serious question, how long the masses will
submit to taxation for the maintenance of
great standing armies. In a country where
all wrongs can be righted by the ballot, he
who raises his arm in rebellion is a mis-
crent; but where the poor man has no
redress from the taxes levied upon him to
support a great army, he is in a measure
justified if he refuses to submit.
In conclusion the speaker made beau.
tiful and forcible demonstration of the fact
that society, in despite Of its "wastes and
burdens" is steadily progressing. He
spoke of the different and higher ideas
involved in true manhood, of the inn
proved condition of woman and of the
household, as facts typical of the progress
made. And yet the consideration of these
burdens show us how much yet remains to
be done, and prevents inactive content and
vain graduation in the present state OF
affairs.-Phila. Progress.

An Irish jury has had the audacity to as
sess woman for damage done to mans
heart. Mr.. Egan, a linen-draper's assist
ant, of Roserea, was Tilted by winsome
young lady of thirty-fye; and, after hear
ing the sad story of lovers woes from his
own lips, the generous jury awarded him
1880 as damages, so that the consolation
afforded him is of very solid kind. The
lady coolly admitted promise to marry
the plaintiff, but pleaded that she was not
very much in love, and that she declined
to be dictated to" during the courtship.
