The negroes in Jacksonville, Fla,
are drawing the color line among
themselves, and the Union of that city
remarks: "Several colored men have
complained to us about the formation
of a society in this city whose member
ship is to be composed of mulattoes ex-
clusively. No black men need apply.
They also charge that the black chill
dren are ostracized and often refused
admittance into society by mulatto
children under instructions from their
parents. The Rev. Mr.. Thomas last
Sunday night made mention of the
matter as the starting point for evil
and division among the colored race
of this city. About five years ago the
same subject agitated the cOlored peo-
pie here, and at times they would
meet, quarrel and fight over it in the
public streets"

The failures of farmers are becom-
ing alarmingly frequent in England.
In 1870 they numbered 229; in 1875,
S54; in 1876, 48O; in 1877, AT in 1878,
SIS; and in the first half of 1879, no
fewer than GA. In addition, the facts
are well known that farmers in many
counties are now losing their capital
that landlords find great difficulty in
reletting at any price, and that the re-
mission of rents have only met por-
tion of the difficulty. If the land OF
England becomes less and less able to
compete with that of other countries
in the growth of meat and cereal crops,
the alteration in the conditions will
have an effect not only on the persons
Immediately concerned, but on Eng
land as a whole.

A Buffalo dispatch says: David
d. V. Altman, aged IS, son of Abra-
ham Altman, president of the Third
National Bank, a member of the Buff
falo polo club, while starting in prac-
tice game Saturday, was thrown from
his horse, fracturing his skull, and
since the accident has lain unconscious.
No hopes of his recovery are enter
tanned. Altman was riding q horse
that from its light build had been con-
demned, but he insisted on using it,
although weighing over $50 pounds.
He had only become an active men,
ber of the club this year, and was
looked upon as a skillful poloist. He
was preparing to enter college. A
later dispatch says the young man died
Sunday night.
