THE Man AND Brother UP NORTH
Mr.. J. A. St. Andrew, the editor of the
Farmyille (Va) Mercury, who recently
visited the New England States, says
that neither at Yale nor Harvard col
leges did he see any colored students,
nor was the African brother visible in
the churches of the white people. nor
could he trace the existance of any col
ored statesmen in the six New England
Legislatures. A special dispatch, May
?, to the New York Times from New
burgh, in that State, shows that even on
iuries the ''man and brother" is not tOl-
Grated At suit in Ulster county, \.
Y, a jury of eleven white aud one col
ored man was chosen, and n number Of
the jurors swore they would not serve,
and demanded 10 know "what this
country was coming to when white
men were asked to sit on jury bench
alongside of niggerl' The result was
that the colored man had to leave be-
fore the jury could be organized. This
is too bad.

This world is not so bad place
As many seem TO make 1t;
Tho whether good or very bad
Depends on how we take it.
There are rough spots along the road,
But then, whene'er we find 'em,
We've just to keep our courage up,
Press on, ard never mind 'em.
'Tis true the skies are sometimes dark,
And heavy shadows bind them,
Yet just beyond the sun still beams
1t only shines behind them.
If we can only brave the storm,
Or do the painful Guty,
The clouds will break, the light will come
And fill the world with beauty.
But if we idly sit and NOPE,
Or nothing do, save grumble,
And if we're bound, on every slope,
To find a spot to stumble
If, not content with half that falls,
We make misfortune double,
| Why, then, our way is sure TO be
Well filled with care and trouble.
So let's cheer up! Let's bravely turn
With ready zeal to labor,
And lend a hand, wnene'er there's need,
To help fallen neighbor.
And at the wCrst-if worst must come
Take trails as we find 'em-
With steady gaze look thro' the clouds,
And see the sun behind 'em.

VALUABLE lNvENTIoN.-Messrs ID.
II. Harms and John Ream, of William
sport, Md, have received letters patent
on an invention called the Wheat HUI
Ter, which is destined 20 make revolu
ton in the milling business. The object
of this machine is to cleanse the berry
OF the wheat and strip off It's coating OF
silk, leaving exposed the gluten coating
eHveloping the body of the starch. The
machine consists of novel combination
of devices, and with its use good mil
Ter will be able to make barrel OF the
finest ard best family flour out of less
than four and halt bushels OF wheat.
The -four made by this process is OF the
finest grade, and the bread made OF the
flour will not dry out like that made OF
other -four. Mr.. Harms, who is prac
tical mill wright is desirous OF raising
a stock company for the manufacture OF
these machines, and if proper eDconr-
agcment is given will have them manu-
featured here. He has no doubt that
there is fortune in the invention, and
only seeds little start to make 1t high
ly profitable. Samples of the wheat
after il is hulled and cleared by this
machine have been left with Mr.. n. q.

A REMARKABLE CAREER.-W. S. o.
Brien, the California millionaire, who
died at San Rafael, Cal, OH Thursday
of last week, after and illness of several
months, had a very remarkable career.
Beginning life as poor boy in New
York, with no prospect, apparently, be-
fore him but that of earning q preca-
rious living as bartender, he started
for California with a view of bettering
his condition. At first he worked at
his old occupation Of bartender, but IN
a comparatively short time started sa-
loou on his own account, and soon did
a thriving business When the mining
excitement commenced his saloon was
frequented by many people who We're
engaged in mining operations. The ie-
yer caught him, as well as many others,
and he started tor Nevada to try his
luck in the mines. lie made some
money and formed the acquaintance OF
Flood, his future partner. his first ven
ture as stock speculator being fail
ure, he returned to San Francisco and
again went into the liquor business.
Happening one day to overhear the con
yersation of some Nevada miners he
thought be saw enough to justify him
in again trying his luck, and communi-
eating the information he had acquired
to Flood, they both started for Nevada,
found the mine to be all it was reported,
adroitly secured their claim, and the
''big bouanza" was soon a synonym tor
enormous wealth The starting of the
bank of Nevada and the financial abili-
ty displayed in floating it soon brought
him and his associates before the world
as tinanciers, and their progress since is
well known. Mr. o Brien was bach
elor His property is estimated at from
$l5,OOO,OOO to S2O,OOO,OO0, but it is in
timated that this estimate is too large.
