AN ACCOUNT OF THEIR TRIP.

ST.. LOUIS, August 21.-The colored excur-
sionists who passed through here few days
ago from various points in Mississippi en- route
to Kansas, returned this afternoon. and will
leave for their homes tomorrow.
H. J. Hubbard, of Jaynesville, Miss.-who
accompanied the party, says the trip was very
pleasant and they were well treated wherever
they went He thinks Kansas is q magnificent
country, but does not consider it adapted to
colored men born and raised in the South.
Those who have money enough to take up land
and provide living for themselves till they
can raise a crop he thinks might get along, but
it is no place for those not so supplied.
Regarding the emigrants already in Kansas
he says great many are hanging about the
cities and towns in the eastern part OF the
State, and that their condition is bad. The
emigrants generally, he thinks, fairly realize
the fact that they must work fer living in
Kansas as well as elsewhere, and he believes
q large majority of them would gladly return
to their homes if they could obtain free trans
portatlon or had money 10 procure tickets.
About half dozen of the party re n aimed in
Kansas with relatives, but they brought back
more than that number, and could have brought
hundreds il they had had room to accommodate
them on the train. Mr.. Hubbard thinks the
trip will be the means of stopping the exodus
from the South, for q time 1T least, for many
of the colored men with the party are men Of
influence in the localities, and he is satisfied
that their accounts of Kansas and the eondi-
ton of the colored people now there will deter
other people from leaving the South. Inter
views with numbers of the colored men and
whites of the party ELECTED about the same
general opinion.

To Attain Long Life.

He who strives after long and pleas
ant term of life must seek to attain con-
tinual equanimity and carefully to avoid
everything which too violently taxes his
feelings. Nothing more consumes the
vigor of life than the violence of the
emotions of the mind. We know
that anxiety and care can des-
troy the healthiest body; we know that
fright and fear, yea, excess ofjoy, become
deadly. They who are naturally cool
and of quiet turn of mind, upon whom
nothing can make too powerful an i'm
preston, who are not want to be excited
either by great sorrow or greatjoy, have
the best chance of living long and happy
after their manner. Preserve, therefore,
under all circumstances, a composure of
mind which no happiness, no misfortune,
can too much disturb. Love nothing
too violently; hate nothing too passion
ately fear nothing too strongly.

An Enoch Arden Romance.
Nashville American. I

Nashville American.
1t is in novels, and not in every dav
life, we hear of a woman with two hus-
bands. There is one in Nashville, and
her name, as she gives it now, is Annie
Morbley. She yesterday filed with the
circuit court clerk a petition for a di-
vorce from one of her husbands, John
Stokes.
The way it happened is this: In
1869, she married John Stokes, who
lived with her about year, and being
infatuated with soldier life he Joined the
army, and has for the past nine years
been travelling out West with the army
His wife never heard from him after he
left. Believing that he had been killed,
and after waiting five years she was
woed and won by one Morbley with
whom she now lives. Last week Stokes
returned to Nashville, and was much
surprised to see the turn things had
taken. Stokes wanted his wife, but she
preferred to live with Morbley and she
filed the bill for divorce

Yes, answered the mother, with a
sob
'Well, then, remarked the little

Preservation of Meat in Japan.
From the Shanghai Courier.l

From the Shanghai Courier.
The Japanese method of keeping meat fresh
in hot weather is just now attracting good
deal of attention in European circles. 1t con-
sists in placing the raw flesh in porcelain yes
sells and pouring on it boiling water, whereby
the albumen on the surface is quickly coagu-
lated and forms protection against the furth-
er action OF the water. Oil is then poured on
the surface of the water to prevent the
access of air and consequent putrefaetion of the
meat. The system of protecting animal sub
stances by securing coagulations OF their albu-
men and the exclusion of air is of course no
novelty; and it can hardly be supposed that
we are indebted to the japanese for its origi-
nal adoption. But undoubtedly their method
of applying it is far preferable to that prac-
ticed by ourselves in the process Of preserving
timed meats, which appears TO consist in boil
ing them for such length OF time that almost
all their flavor Is destroyed, and the ultimate
result is mass of tasteless shreds of museu-
lar fibre

From Africa.

The Z. S. ship Ticonderoga, Commo-
dore Shufeldt, was at ST. Paul de Loan
go, west coast of Africa, on the Sd of
june. He says his ship is the first
American war vessel that has entered
the Congo river. He says the natives
agree to observe the treaty made with
the English in 1875, which binds them
to protect all white men and render
assistance to ships of all nations. But
the natives are piratical, and cannot be
depended upon to keep their treaties.
The Dutch have large factories at that
place, and empty 20 or 80 Europeans
and several hundred negroes, hired as
slaves from the neighboring chiefs.

THE COMING TIME.

When men forget their love Of gold,
And love their honor more;
When truth Is only current coin,
And counted DER and DER;
When men love freedom for its sake
For all as well as one
And for the greatest good, their work,
From day 10 day, is done,
When men throw self aside and live
For some Just purpose high,
Then viii the glorious era come
When none shall fear to die

\ sad and fatal accident occurred at
Eureka Springs, Carroll county, on Fri
day, resulting in the death of Mrs. Nir-
ria Clarke, most estimable and ac-
complished lady, and wife of Professor
Clarke, prominent educator and well
known citizen of Berrvviile. Professor
Clarke with his family and number of
students, had been camping out ut the
springs, and the day of the accident was
one set for breaking camp and returning
home. The party had seated them
selves at the dinner table, when without
the slightest warning, towering, half
burnt tree, was discovered to be falling.
\ cry ofalam and the tree was uponthem.
All escaped the except lady, who, hav-
ing her infant in her arms, was unable
to move as quickly as the others. With
mothers forethought and elevation,
she held her baby at arms length, and
its life was spared, the body of the tree
falling upon her. 1t was removed as
quickly as possible, and the sufferer re-
moved to a neighboring house. The in
juries were internal, and she lived only
an hour. To the last she was conscious,
conversing with her heart-broken hus-
band, and expressing great regret at
being called upon to leave him and
her children. Il am growing blind,

CASH VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE.

Some twenty years ago gentleman in
Wisconsin, who was elected to the bur-
lesque Office of peoples Governor" in
a burlesque message to his constituents
of the Third House recommended that
murder be made matter of book aC-
count. This gentleman now holds ju-
dicial position in the District of Column
bia, and will probably feel fattered to
find that his facetious suggestion of 1857
has been adopted into the Jurisprudence
of the country, as in the trial of Miss
Duer for the deliberate shooting of her
bosom friend, Miss Hearn. As several
previous threats to shoot had been made,
accompanied by the attempt in one or
two cases. the defensive plea of accident
was of the thinnest kind. The pretext
that the act was maniacal, it seems from
the verdict of the jury, was not sus-
tanned by evidence as they brought
in verdict Of manslaughter. Com
mon sense teaches that unless the
act was purely accidental or the act
of lunatic, it was deliberate, premedi-
tated murder 1t could be nothing less
Yet the jury toned it down to man
slaughter, and the murderess, or man
slaughteress, was--fned five hundred
dollarsl Thus has deliberate murder in
one of the United States been made a
matter of book account.
Amongst some of the aboriginal tribes
murder was atoned for by the payment
of certain number of ponies or horses,
or buffalo or beaver skins, and public
justice was thus satisfied Is not the
world advancing backwards, or the
American portion of the world, when a
deliberate murder is made matter of
book account in accordance with the joe
ular Suggestion of Judge Macarthur?
The friends and admirers of Miss Duer,
the murderess or manslaughteress, have
raised the amount necessary to pay her
fine and she goes forth into the world
unpunished and at perfect liberty to as
sassinate any of the rest of her bosom
friends.
