The reason why so few marriages are

FLUGHToF COLOREDP PEOPLEwEsT
Appear of brethren In ss. Louis for AID.

st. LOUIS, April "A number of prom
inent colored gentlemen, who have been
most active in relieving while here and
assisting to their destination cOlored emf
grants from the South, issued this after.
noon the following appeal for aid to all
generous and charitable people through
out the country:
HFor three weeks there have been al
most daily landed at our wharf scores,
sometimes hundreds, ofeolored refugees
from the South, fleeing from second slav-
cry. Their accounts of oppression and
inhuman treatment by White Leaguers
and planters are terrible.
Their struggle to make their way to the
free West should receive the attention OF
| Iiberty-loving men and women every
where, and we appeal to all such for
means to assist them in finding new
homes. The cOlored people of this city
have not encouraged them to come; trans
pOrtation companies have offered them nc
inducements to emigrate, but according
to their own testimony they have started
for Kansas because they heard they would
be free there, and because it was impossi
BILE for them to live longer at their olC
homes. These refugees, at the best, havt
but slender means. A large proportion
of them are destitute when they reacl
here, having spent all their money TO
passage to this point, and are thus de
pendent upon others to reach their desti
nation. The cOlored people of this cit
are doing all in their power to help them
So far they have fed and sheltered theI
while here, and forwarded several hur
dred to Kansas. But still they Oome, an
we are now compelled to appeal to til
generous and benevolent people ever!

ington, called forth from them such q
storm of honest and plainly spoken sen
timent that the meeting st once assumed
dramatic aspect. The affair had, it
seems, inaugursted a general neighbor-
hood quarrel, and freedom of speech
having been established, a number Of
individuals sprang to their feet and had
their filings at each other. After numer-
GUS and vain attempts to arrive at some
thing definite, the Board finally came to
the unanimous decision that the teacher
should be sustained.
We are happy to record this eminently
right and proper decision. But we do
not think that the grounds upon which
the gentlemen of the Board based their
decision were the ones most fitting to be
considered in the present case. They
decided in accordance with a resolution
passed in 1876, enforcing rhetorical ex-
ercises in the schools. If they had come
out openly and forcibly and sustained the
teacher because he was the teacher; be-
cause, having been engaged to teach the
school it was his province and duty to
pursue such methods as his experience
and education enabled him to decide up
ON, and because no one knows so we'll as
he the needs of the pupil, they would
have established a noble precedent and
crowned themselves with glory.

with the practice Of all first-class teach

that each pupil should at stated intervals

Theatrical.

A large and appreciative audience
greeted the John Ellsler troupe at Rim
inger's Hall last Friday evening, on
which occasion Rip Van Wrinkle, the
vagabond OF the Catsklll, was happily
produced and fully appreciated by all
present, and, with the exception of one
or two slight mechanical defects Of
scenery, went of smoothly.
The characters were well cast, every
one being well up In his or her part (,
the leading ones being Grip" by John
Ellsle-, and "Gr,tchen," his shrewlsh
wife, by Miss Florence Baldwin, both
characters being well sustained.
Those who have seen the original
sold Rip" (Joe Jefferson) are at loss
to criticise Mr.. Ellsler, feeling the task
would be difficult one. We hope Mr..
Ellsler will visit US again; indeed he
has promised SO much, when he will be
greeted by full house, making the oc-
casion one Of mutual pleasure and profit.
The music for tho evening, under the
direction of r. F. Curtis, Esq, was
well rendered, adding much to the
pleasure of tire entertaiEment and re-
lieving the tedium. of v aiting between
the acts. ftIE - q p.
