The exodus from the South Illus
trales another phase Of the suilcrings
of the colo,ed people through the in.
iquiiy OF those who have deceived them
with lying professions Of friendship.
Almost as soon as emancipation was
accomplished, adventures took the
freedmen in charge and used them as
their peculiar property. First they
established q bank for them, encourag-
ed them to save, and when the COL
ored man had learned good honest
lesson in thrift he found that his trust
bad been betrayed, and that lie had
toiled and sacrificed, expanding sweat
and tissue for a phantom. His hopes
and ambitions were together shattered
by the intamy of those who thrust
their friendship and protection upon
him. 1t would not do to work this
wire again right away; so the political
bonds of the negro were frightened
and he was made to serve his false
friends in another way. His passions
we're excited his credulity was fed
to its utmost capacity, and his blood
was considered necessary to the Re-
publican success in every election.
He was compelled to lawlessness and
consequent disaster, no matter how
much he might resist, by his Rcpubll-
can taskmasters. That, however
came to an end when the people were
permitted to choose their own State
Governments, and now the exodus
comes in as n new diversion. 1t is the
work of the same hands, and the result
of the same general arguments. Many
good men hope that good may come
from it, and they may be right, but
the motive of the movement lies in
evil. 1t represents the defeat and des'
pera,ion of those who have been the
enemies of society and the negro from
the first-Republican adventures
from the North and South. Boston

The volumes at the end of the year
would form an invaluable local, State
and general history Of that year, which
would be whole library in itself. 1t
is true that folio sheets by reason of
their size Of page make an uuwieldly
volume that is too bulky for practical
use, but this objection cannot be urg-
ed against those papers of quarto
shape, where the years numbers can
be divided into two handsome volumes
of convenient size, and therefore easily
handled. One volume year is enough
to make the weekly edition, and the
same arguments that urge the preser-
walton of the daily have equal force
when applied to the weekly. So,

MUSICALE.

The Ameri can people are fast becoming
music-cult waited and music-loying
people. Music is taught in the public
schools and in nearly all private schools,
colleges and seminaries. Every city and
town has its music teachers, and IN ost
cities their Conservatives or schools de-
voted exclusively to music. Thus the de-
mand for sheet music, music books and
music journals has become immense. The
leading publishing house in this country
is that of s. Brainards Sons, of Cleve-
land, Cincnn att andChicago. This firm
commenced business in 1886, in Cleveland,
and from small beginning has grown to
immense proper tons, now occupying the
largest building in this country devoted
to music publishing. They publish over
fifteen thousand different pieces Of music
and hundreds Of popular music books OF
all kinds. They also publish BRAINARD's
MUSICAL WORLD, monthly magazine
which is well-known all over the country.
In. order TO facilitate their large western
trade s. Brainard's Sons have established
large house at l5s State Street, Chicago,
ILL.,, where complete stock ofeverything
in,the line of sheet music and music books
can at all times be found. AS successors
to the old Chicago firm Of Root & Cady'
whose business and immense catalogue
was purchased by them after the Chicago
fire, they are enabled to offer inducements
unsurpassed by any other publishing
house. They will send their large cata-
logue of music and books free to any one

An Old Friend Found.

There transp,red on the public

think is of sufficient interest to be
honored in type. A countryman had

forward and took good look at the
creature. After he had finished no

continued to steadily raise each other
until it was knocked down to him at

his bargain, but he held his peace
until he had paid his money and re-
ceiyed the bill of sale. He then vouch-
safed the simple statement, IL rode
that horse during the war" A Com
mercial man, who happened to be one
of the lockers on, at once interrogated
him upon the matter. lie states that
