THE ROBBED NEGR0RS.


Soon after the "Christian statesmen"
in this country produced civil war
between the sections, they discovered
that something more than voters could
be made out Of the negro element.
They first established the Infamous
Negro Bureau, by which the Contra
bands" were fed and clothed out Of the
United States Treasury, aud given po-
sitions whereby they could earn some
money. At this point "thc Christian
soldier" General o. o. Howard, who,
by the way, was No. philanthro-
pist about that time, and conceived the
idea that Freedmen's Bank must be
started tostake care of tho savings ol
"tbe Nations wards" The bank was
established and the negroes plundered
OF over three millions of dollars by these
sanctimonious scoundrels. The fraud
attracted the attention OF Congress
and q Committee was appointed to in
vestigate the matter
The Freedmens Bank, says the New
York Star, was u special and unique
creation, oficered and directed excln
sively by the truly loyal, and of course
] the patrons deemed il as secure as the
United States Treasury. Bat the in.
stitution ingloriously bursted and the
unlucky depositors are yet whistling
tor seventy per cent. Of their hard
earned savings,
A year ago Committee of the Sen
ate was appointed to examine into the
condition of the wreck, The commit
tee, Republican in texture, with the
colored Senator Bruce as Chairman
has Just completed its report, which
Judging from an advance abstract
printed in the Tribune, will fully con
firm the worst that has been said oI
the mismanagement of this bank. Not
only did the officers violate the char.
ter, but they prevailed upon Repub
lican Congress TO amend that instru
ment so as TO afford greater scope for
squandering the money of their gulled
depositors. In reference to several
historic transactions, headed by the
Seneca sandstone contract, the report
freely AYERS that large sums were
loaned, not only on inadequate securi
by, but sin accordance with corrupt
agreements between the officers Of the
bank and the borrowers"
! Moreover, the expenses of winding
up the collapsed concern during the
past four years have been 1886, ,994,
and it appears as far from being wound
up now as it ever was. The Commit
tee thinks that the iaitbless trustees
and officers cannot be reached by legal
proceedings, for they took particular
care to give no bonds for their faithful
discharge of duty, and by a singular
coincidence the charter embraced nc
penal provisions to punish their inf
deity.
As Radicalism used the money o.
the colored man in this organized
swindle, SO it is using bis vote and biz
alleged grievances in politics, and
many colored men, both north ant
south, arc shrewd enough to sec it.

Good Advice for Everybody.

/. Never, under any circumstances,
assume a responsibility that you can
avoid consistently with your duty to
yourself and others.
,. Base all your actions upon prin-
ciple of right preserve your integrity
of character, and in doing this never
reckon on the cost.
3. Remember that self-interest is much
more likely to warp yonr judgment, than
all other circumstances combined (;
therefore look well to your duty when
your interest is concerned.
1. Never make money at the expense
of your reputation.
5. Be neither lavish or niggardly.
OF the two, avoid the latter. A mean
man is universally despised, but public
favor is a stepping stone to preterment ;
therefore generous feelings should be
cultivated,
6. Say but little think much and
do more,
T. Let your expenses be such as to
leave balance III your pocket. Ready
money is friend in need.
S. Avoid borrowing and lending.
g. Wine drinking, and cigar smoking
are bad habits; they impair the health
and pocket, and lead to waste of time.
TO- Never relate your mistortunes,
and never grieye over what you cannot
prevent.
II. Cultivate promptness in decid-
ing upon matters that come before you ;
there are few objects more disagreeabe
than an undecided, yacillanng man.
Consider thoughtfully, but decide
promptly.
-. Never break a business engage
ment Of any kind, if it be possible to
meet H. Let nothing cause you to be-
come careless Of business etiquette, in
tegrty and promptitude.
l3. Let truth and an unwayering
faith in God underlie all your motives
and actions.

Which Pays Best -.
Is THE GREAT CONNFCTtN

How often do we hear farmers ask this
question: Which viii pay me best, cat
&c or Sheep Now, there Is much diff
ference of opinion on this question
Those that keep cattle claim that thcy
are the most profitable, aud those that
keep sheep think .hc same of their
aOcks. | claim that sheep arc the most
profitable, and ! will try and prove It to
your readers Take, for instance, u two
year old steer, weighing 1000 pounds,
worth cents per pound, or 80, what
is the cost of raising 10 that agcf
First year 10 milk, grain and hay az
one summers pasture, 81; six months
feeding hay or grain, SIG, milking to-
tai cost of So. This is very low csll-
mate everything is down to the lowest
notch.
Now YOU see that il has cost $32 dol
lars TO raise this calf. Subtract lis keep
ING from what ne sold for, and you have
the profit of s dollars. This is counting
nothing for your trouble, allowing the
manure TO balance that.
Now for the sheep, II will cost TO
raise and keep eight lambs until they
are one year old, for pasture, hay and
grain ST.; for one year more for hay
and grain, 500; making thclr total rost
from birth until two years old, S32. Now
for the other side. Eight bead OF sheep
weighing l25 pounds per head. making
one thousand pounds at cts per pound,
is $40. Two clips of wool, sixteen
heeces, weighing five pounds per fleece,
makes 81 ,fhty pounds Of wool at thirty
two cents per pound, $500. Now take
the $40 that the sheep sold for, ana

Nakefnlness from Orern ,rk.

There IS a very important relation be-
tween the circulating and muscular sys'
TENS. Unless the muscles aided the
heart and blood vessels TO contract, the
blood could not circulate. Thus some
people find, after a hard summers work,
it is almost impossible to get sound rest
until the system gets strong. Old people
often cannot sleep after doing work that
uses up their strength.
When the waketulness has become
chronic from overwork il requires time,
patience and good sense to overcome it,
Rest light exercise and braciug noun
tain air, with suitable dict, will DO much
to restore the forces. As this class Of
invulids do not stand the cold well, they
should 90 south winters, and il possible

In these days of pedestrian feats, |
would that a warning voice was lifted 10
the rising generation not To try to emu
hte their example TO travel or to work
day and night is not always profitable,
as will be seen by the following story:
a man in Maine wishing to put through
large quantity OF logs in a certain time
concluded 70 keep his mill moving day
and night. Instead of hiring extra help
for this emergency, he foolishly thought
to do the work himself SO day andnight
his sawmll was in constant motion
The doctor passing one day warned hin
of the danger of his course, to which he
paid but little heed. After having fin
ished his Job he started for the house
saying that he was going to get some
sleep. lie went to bed only to imagine
himself at his late occupation of saving
logs. His hands seemed TO be moving
to do their usual tasks, while the brail
seemed to tire of its thoughts. The doe
tor was summoned, but could not quiet
the oyertaxed system. BY this time his
distress was awful, and hauling out his
money box he offered the doctor it,
entire contents if lie would but put him
to sleep, but 10 no purpose. need not say
here that il requires person of strong
will TO forego sleep enough to break
down, and in individuals of sound sense
it is only by some unusual strain that
they finally succumb and from then
honest endeavors to excel they should
have our warmest sympathies,

One Of the most singular mechanical
operations imaginable Is the making Of
gold wire torw THAT is known as gold laceA
The rcGner first prepares a solid rod Of
silver about au inch in thickness; he
beats This rod, applies upon the surface Il
sheet of gold leaf, furnishes this down,
and s1 ON, until the gold is about one
hundlcdth part the thickness of The
silver. The rod il then subjected 20
train of processes which brings it down
10 the state Of iiue wire, VIXEN IL IL passed
through holes in q steel pate lcseniuR
step By step i'm diameter. The gold never
deserts thc silver, but adhcrc- closely -
It, and shares aiI lbs mutations II b. one
hundrcith part the thickness Of lie sil-
yer at the beginning, and 10 maintains
the same ratio 90 the end As iJ the
thinncas TO which the gold-coaied rod Of
silver can he brought, the limit depends
on the deIcacy Of human skill u has
been calculated, however, that the gold
actually placed On the very finest silver
wire for gold lace rs not more than one
lhird Of onp.mIliontl Of an inch in
thickness; thai Isl not above oue-tenth
the thickness Of ordinary goid-leal.
