The Exodus.

The Boston Advertiser is not ia
nous as a particularly cnterprising
journal, but it is entitled TO the credit
Of having found out more about the
causes that lie at the bottom of the
negro exodus than anybody else.
The staid old Boston journal has dis
covered in it's city "National Farm
crs' Associations" which was organ
lied q few months ago for the purpose
Of encouraging the Southern negroes
to emigrate to the Northern and
Western States and settle upon gov
ernmept lands. The way had been
prepared for this and similar associa-
tions (for the National Farmers is
only one Of seyeral( by the circula-
tion of political documents among the
negroes the past two years, the most
pungent of which emanated from Bos
ton and stirred the colorcd folks up
to discomfort with their situation and
a passion for change. The Farmers
Association aimed particularly at
getting the emigrants into Northern
Texas, but the current has started the
other way, and Kansas is now the
promised land of the poor deludcd
people. 1t is all supposed to be q
philanthropic movement, on the part
Of Boston folks, of course, though it
is n little difficult at present to see
exactly where the philanthropy comes
in.-Philadekphia Times.

After Many Years,

A Massachusetts paper contains
the following statement Of very sim
guar coincidence: "The father and
mother of DIr. Stanton, the superin-
tendent Of the Selma, Rome and Dal-
ton Railroad, killed in the late bridge
accident, the one from Ohio and the
other from Philadelphia, hastened to
him by the quickest route and with
the least possible delay. One arrived
before he breathed his last and the
other after, but in time to see him
LAID away in his last resting place.
The parents met thus for the first
time in thirty years. Long years
ago they separated and were divorc-
ed, and young Stanton took his
mothers maiden surname. Both his
parents were remnrriad, and to make
the strange occurrence still more sin
gular, they were both accompanied
on the sad pilgrimage by their re-
spective mates. And thus happened
probably tho strangest meeting that
ever occurred at deathbcd scene."

What Those Long Nights Mean.

Ah, yes, fond youth! 1t may be
very nice to court girl in the far
northern countries where the nights
are six months long; but just think
Of the vast amount Of peanuts and
gumdrops the young man, when 60
ing TO see his girl, must lug along
with him in order to kill time and in
duce her to believe that his affection
for her is as warm as ever. And
then the sad leave-taking few weeks
before sunrise! Hc whispers, "Good-
night, love-" and she softly murn1urs,
"Good-night, dear. When shall
see you again?" "To-morrow night"
he replies, as he kisses her upturned
face. "To-morrow night" she re-
plies with voice full of emotion.
"Six long weary months Can't you
call around u few days before break
fast, Charles" Finally Charles tears
himself away, with promise to write
her one hundred and sixty letters be-
fore the next day draws to close.

Chicago's New Mayor.

Garter Harrison, the Mayor. elect
Of Chicago, is native Of Newport,
Ky, and grandson Of President
William Henry Harrison. At the be-
ginning Of the war he wrote a letter
to schoolmatc, they having attended
the Oxford University, Ohio, togcth-
CT, who had enlisted from this conn
try in the Twentieth Tennessee Rcgi.
menL G. S. A. This letter was full
of sympathy and patriotic sentiments,
and expressed determination TO en-.
list in the cause Of the South rs soon
as his father could be rcconcilcd TO it.
AT that time Harrison was very
young. This letter was given the
writer and placed in his trunk for
safe-kceping. AT the battle of Fish
ing Creek the trunk was captured, the
letter read and the next thing was
the arrest Of Harrison. But he man.
aged to get free, and soon made his
appearance iD the Southern army.

of Repubicanism, but is elected rs n
true and tried Southern Democrat.

Money.

Money is q queer institution. 1t
buys provender, satisfies justice, and
heals wounded honor. Everything
revolvcs itself into cash, from stock
jobbing to building churches. Child
hood Graves pennies, youth aspircs to
dimes, manhood is swayed by the
mighty dollar. The blacksmith
swings his sledgc, the lawyer pleads
for his client, and the Judge decides
the question of life and death for his
salary. Money makes the man,
therefore, man must make money, if
he would be respected by fools; for
the eye Of the world looks through
golden spectacles. 1t buys Brussels
carpets, lace curtains, gilded corniccs
and rich furniture, and builds marble
mansions. 1t drives up to church in
grand rig, and pays the rent of the
best pew. 1t Buys silks and jewelry
for my lady. Il commands the res
pcct Of gaping crowds and secures
obscquious attention. It enables us
to be charitable, to send Bibles to
the heather. and relieve domestic in
digcncc. 1t gilds The rugged scenes
of life, and spreads over the rugged
path of existence velvet carpet soft
to our tread the rude scenes of tur-
moil are incased in gilt frame. 1t
bids care vanish, soothcs the anguish
of the bed Of sickness, stops short of
nothing save the grim destroyer,
whose relentless hand spares none,
but levels NIL mortal distinctions and
teaches poor, weak humanity that it
is but dust. Thus wealth pauses on
the brink Of eternity, the bcggar and
the millionaire rest side by side be-
meath the sod, to rise in equality to
answer the final summons.

The Old SLOGAN.

One thing this debate has plainly
disclosed to the country. 1t is, that
the next campaign will lie fought ex-
clusivcly or war and sectional issues.
Their gonfalon is to be the bloody
shirt, and their slogan re:echo OF
all the damnable filth and falsehood
Of tho dark, days Of tho past. Gar
field, Frye, and all the smaller knaves
and incendiaries who have yeIped the
chorus to their bitter, bloody melth-
ings have given incontestable proof
of this design. 1t is to be the solid
North against the solid South, q
square issue of hate, falsebood, evil
passion and bitterest denunciation
against right, reason, argument and
patriotism. Frye's speech q few days
ago rc-echoed Gar6elds, and the an
swering chorus all along che line
shows not discordant note. For a
man who could say, and with evident
sincerity, wlIat he did over the grave
Of Julian Hartridge, and then speak
such words Of deep venom and bloody
wrath towards Hartridge's section ant,
its sons, only proved too conclusive
ly what he and his have resolved
upon. The answering echo of fierce
applause which followed his most vio-
lent words s. i'll further demonstrated
the party resolve. ] have never heard
hearticr approval OF bitterest partisan
utterances than Frye won. He is a
good speaker, practiccl and pointed
and holds his party's ear next to
Garfield, and the applause thst greet
cd him reminded Inc Of the Blaine
ovation in the stormy days Of the
Forty-fourth Congress.

Three white men and three black
men, meeting on the same side Of q
river, and wishing to cross to the op-
positc shore, were obliged to- do so in
q skill that would not carry but two.
Each white man had a large amount
of money upon his person, and the
black men being aware of the fact
agreed among themselves that, while
crossing the river, if two of their
number should be left on either shore
with one white man they would rol
him. The white men suspccting them
