WHAT THE Co1oREp RACE DEMASl

WHAT THE CoLoRED RACE DEMANDS.
AT the Conference of the Colored Meth
odist Episcopal Church in St. Louis last
week, DR.. Turner, the editor of news
paper for colored readers, printed at
Philadelphia, said in the course of a
speech: "The colored man will not be
satisfied till lie is invited into the parlor
instead of the kitchen of the white man,
when he is his equal in intelligence and
in wealth. Poverty is not the equal of
wealth, nor ignorance the equal Of intel
ligeuce; but when the poor man grows
rich and the ignorant man intelligent,
then all barriers to social equality on
account of color should give way, and
social equality be established between
those in wealth and intelligence equal"
Dr.: Turner's remarks were loudly ap-
plauded.

How TO RAISE A CALF.-Let it suck
for one or two days, so as to get enough
of its mothers milk to physic it. Then
take it away from the COW and shut it
up in small pen; or, if the weather is
cold, warm box-stall. Fasten up at a
proper height V trough large enough
10 hold two gallons. 1t is no use to Of.
fer calf milk until it has tasted twenty
four hours. When your calf gets hun
cry you will generally have little trouble
in teaching it to drink in day or two.
For week or ten days give the calf new
milk until it begins to thrive. then sub.
stitute warm skim milk, with a little
faxseed tea or oil meal added. Begin
with tablespoonful of the latter, and
gradually increase to gill. When your
calf is four weeks old, put little shelled
corn in its trough, and it will soon learn
to eat, and when it gets to eating two
ears at meal it will do without the flax
seed. BY the time it is two months old
it will begin to eat fine hay or corn
blades, and should be fed regularly in
small quantities. If you decrease the
milk, add bran and little oil meal to
the shelled corn. I have found quart
of bran and two ears of corn three times
day full feed for calf from three to
six months old, and that would weigh
between three and four hundred pounds.
A calf raised and wintcred the first win.
ter in this way will make as good an
animal as it would if allowed to run with
the COW and suck for the same length
of time, aud would do better when
weaned as the change of diet would not
be so radical.

A PETRIF1ED BoDY.-Philadcphia,
May 16.-Police Officer William Blan-
ford died on June II, 1874. The body
was placed in the Philsntropic Cemetery
in Passyunk Road. A day or two ago
son of the deceased man had the body
disentered, with the object of removing it
to another cemetery. Four men took
hold of the box in which the coffin was
placed, and it required their united
strength to lift it to the surface. The
box was not dccayed, and the coffin in
side was as bright as on the day of the
burial. The silver plate was not oven
tarnishcd when the lid was removed.
The body was petri6ed, and in an almost
perfect state of preservation. The cloth.
ing was somewhat mouldy, and what was
once flesh had changed to hard, stony
substance, resembling yellowish marble:
The eyes were gone, and the lips had
partly disappeared, and there was no
hair on the head; but otherwise the body
was perfect. Even the whiskers on the
chin had turned into stone. The body
weighed almost 500 pounds. Mrs. Blan-
ford died in February last, and was bur-
led near her husband her body was uu.
dergoing the natural process of decay.
Both bodies we're removed to Mount Mo-
riah Cemetery.

COMPLICATED MATRIMoNY.-About
three years ago man living in an ad-
Joining county was reported to have been
killed by falling from q scaffold. The
report was published, and was seen by
the mans wife. She donned the usual
mourning, and for about year mourned
the loss of the dead. She then began to
turn her thoughts rather more to the liy.
ing. Two years past she was pravailed
upon by man of this county to become
his wife, and the license was issued by
the Register of Deeds in this city. A
few weeks ago the supposed dead husband
turned up in most unexpected and alb.
rupt style, to the dismay of husband num-
Der two and the wife. The first husband,
after survey of tue situation, made ap-
plication for divorce, which was granted.
A few days since the second husband,
whose other marriage was of course rem
dered illegal by the existence Of one hus-
band at the time the license was issued,
came into the city and obtained from Cap.
tain White, the Register of Deeds, anoth-
er license to marry the same woman. It
was granted, and there on the same page
of the marriage register stands the same
names, with al interval of almost exact
ly two years between. Such case has
never occurred in this county before

An INDIAN PREAcHER.-Among the
delegates to the Presbyterian General
Assembly recently in session in Charles.
ton is the Rev. Allen Wright, a full-blood
Choctaw Indian, and formerly Chief of
the nation. Mr.. Wright is a man of ed
ucation and refinement, a graduate of
Union College, Schenectady, and Of I'm
ion Theological Seminary, New York
City. He was accompanied, as lay dele.
gate, by Elder Milton Brown, of the
Choctaw Presbyterian Church, and a
noble specimen of physical symmetry
and strength. 1t will be remembered
that whilst the Creek and Seminole tribes
were divided in the late war the Choc-

field, of one Of which Rev. Mr.. Wright

The Use OF Tobacco.

To those who regard US as peculiar in
our notions on this subject, and as max.
ing a great ado about very small matter
we would say, read the following resolu.
ton adopted by the United Presbyterian
General Assembly, 1870:
Resolved, That the use Of tobacco is
demoralizing in its tendency, and should
therefore be discountenanced by all who
profess the Christian religion.
In 1874, in response to memorial
from the ladies of Monmouth, the AS
sembly said:
We hail this memorial from the ladies
of Monmouth as the harbinger of bet
ter day, we trust not far distant, when
the energies of the Church shall be
turned against the use of tobacco, as they
are now turned against the use of intox-
icating drinks.
In addition to this, hear the testimony
of the Reformed Presbyterian Church
(Coveuanters) as declared at their Synod,
which met in New York, May of last
year:
Inasmuch rs tobacco is extensively
used throughout society, and in its use a
positive evil which manifests itself,
(l.) AS an injury to physical health.
(2.) AS an offence to good manners.
e. AS an unnecessary expenditure OF
money.
(4.j AS it is associated with much vice.
IS. As it exerts a demoralizing influ.
ence upon the youth.
(6.) AS it is inconsistent with moral
and spiritual purity. Therefore,
Resolred, That this Synod condemn all
indulgence in the use of tobacco.
2. That we urge our people to abstain
from it in every form except as prescribed
by competent medical authority, and use
all lawful means to eradicate this evil
from society. >
3. That Presbyterians be hereby ad-
vised to license no one to preach the
gospel who indulges in the use of tobacco,
and sessions be advised not to ordain any
officers in the Church who practice this
habit for mere carnal qualification.

BY THE RIVER.
San Francisco Letter.

Some laugh and dance through alltheir days
No shadows fall across their way.
For some the wintry years drag slow,
For some the skies are always gay;
The strong heart beats the weak heart dowr
In lile's analgamation
The good and bad are all so near,
The rich mans pail, the poor mans bier,
The wanton's laugh, the orphans tear,
They come in swift rotation.
The tide runs high, the tide runs low,
The years 20 fast, the days 60 slow; 7
For mel care not how it seems,
So long as I can dream my dreams.
The good man thinks that he is good,
The bad man'knows that heis bad,
Sleek. welt-fed virtue lifts his eyes,
And thinks chat vice is sad, so sad;
The one hates with goodly hate
To call the other brother;
But, peradventure, it may be
A startling, yet divine decree,
When truths made manifest, shall he
Change places with the other.
The tide runs high, the tide runs low,
The wears 20 fast, the days 20 slow;
For me care not how it seems,
: So long as can dream my dreams.
All, friend, you say that life is short,
To view with men is much the BEST
I care not if the world stands still,
Nor if the sun dawns in the west;
But midst the reeds upon the shore
hear the babbling river saying
This dirge of fate, "Too late! too late!"
o idle life, O empty heart,
Unused to bear, ,unskilled in praying

A STRANGE ANoMALY.-Intemper-
ance in alcoholic beverages is the su-
preme curse of this nation. Recognizing
this fact, innumerable temperance socie-
ties have been organized for the suppress
sion, of this evil. And yet the crowning
shame and disgrace lies in the fact that
an intelligent, civilized, and Christian
Government derives the greater part of
its revenue from the manufacture of
liquor, and every township and city a
large part of their revenue from its sale
and retail. There is a rule in society,
as old as the common law, that whoever
partakes of stolen property, or shares in
ill.gotten gains, is guilty with the princi-
pal. Fines and penalties for drunken
ness are paid from money taken at the
bar, and this money is eagerly accepted
and appropriated to the uses of those So
cieties which pretend to fight the licensed
eyil.-Christiaa at IVork.

The LANGUAGE OF THE HEART.-The
loving guardian angel of the more sensi-
BILE Of mankind once appeared before
Jupiter and prayed: Heavenly Father
Give thy poor people better language,
for they have words only with which to
express how they mourn, how they rejoice,
how they love-" "Have 1 not given
them the tear" asked Jupiter, "the tear
of joy, the tear of sorrow, the tear of
love?"
The guardian angel answered, "Not
even the tears give sufficient expression
to the heart. Heavenly Father give thy
people better language when they wish
10 say how they feel the infinite longing
the remembrance of the little morning
star of childhood the glow Of the golden
aurora of youth; and the contemplation,
in mature age, of the golden evening
clouds of q future life, as they appear
bright and high above the vanished
sun.
"Give me the heart new language my
Father"
Just then Jupiter heard within the
realm of spheres the approach of the
Music of Song. To her he beckoned and
said
Descend to earth and teach mankind
thy language"
Then came the Music of Song to lis
below here and taught us the tones; and
since then the human heart can speak.

ACoLoRADo SPIDER SroRy.-A short
distance from Buena Vista, says the Lead.
vile (Col.) Chronicle, is cave inhabited
by spiders which differ from other spi-
ders in their enormous size, and are
quite useful to the people of that re-
gion. The cave was discovered last De.
cember by party of sight seers, and
the spiders and their work were wit
messed. On entering the cave one is
first struck by the funny looking webs.
They are worked like webs of other spi-
ders, but every fibre is ten times as large
as the ones woven by ordinary spiders.
Ou passing further into the cave the
spiders are encountered. They are about
the size of small birds and make strange
sound while weaving their web. Their
webs are so tough and the fibres so
large that it is almost an imposibility
to break down q web.

A CAT ROUTED BY SPARROWS.-Ihe
other day a number of gentlemen were
sitting in the detectives room in the City
Hall when an English Sparrow flew near
the window, peeped in, and darted away
again. Capt. Holzworth, who saw the
little fellow, said that whenever he saw
sparrow il reminded him of little scene
which occurred in his yard one cold day
last winter. The sparrows, it seems, as
celtained the fact that there was knot
hole in the gable of his house and took
advantage of their knowledge by taking
possession of the hole and a portion of
his attic, where they passed the winter
as snug as bugs in rug. The Captains
wife has warm spot in her heart for
birds. So when the ground was covered
with snow, and the little fellows ran a
risk of starving to death, Mrs. Fl. would
sweep away the snow and spread upon
the ground fne repast of crumbs. The
sparrows soon learned to depend upon
her, and told their friends what fine
landlady they had. In consequence
hundreds of them congregated daily
about the Captains house and partook
Of his charity. Close to the spot where
the birds were usually fed was pile of
bricks, and upon this pile the Captains
cherished mouser used to station herself
for the purpose of watching for prey.
AS soon as the birds would get comforta.
bly, settled about the crumbs the cat
would pounce upon them and invariably
get a tender sparrow for dinner. Finally
the birds became accustomed to the cats
mode of procedure, and would be on the
watch whenever they were feeding. They
were so alert that the cat would, hardly
get ready for q spring before they were
up in the air aud out of danger. One
day they were eating as usual, aud the
cat as usual was watching them. Like
bolt of lightning the mouser jumped
into their midst, but they were too quick
for hec and escaped unhurt.i Miss Tab.
by, not discouraged, mounted the pile of
bricks again and awaited their return.
The sparrows, after flying about for some
time, finally settled upon the fence at the
foot of the lot, where they held long
and interesting confab. After chattering
away for several minutes, they cautiously
returned to their crumbs and resumed
their eating, keeping all the while q
sharp lookout for the enemy. After the
cat had become satisfied that they were
too much interested in satisfying their
appetite to think of her, she made an.
other spring. The birds were up in an
instant, and instead Of flying away as
usual, they formed themselves into
hollow square and charged upon the foe.
Some got upon the cats back and
scratched and picked with all their
might; others flew right into her face,
while the balance made it interesting in
the rear. The cat was so surprised at
first that she stood unable to move: The.
birds became more and more infuriated,
and fought such q savage battle that they.
drove the foe down the garden path on a
full gallop and under the barn. They
returned to their feast and were left to
themselves the balance of the winter,
the cat making herself scarce when they
put in an appearance. Cleveland Ohio)

AN UGLY CAsE.-Coroner J. T. Ses.
sions held an inquest over the body of a
young colored woman, Mary Langston,
near GrahamvilIe in this. County, on
Sunday, the 10th instant, which resulted
in verdict of "death from neglect and
abuse" The circumstances, as we have
gathered them, are about as follows: Bob
Langston, the husband of Mary, employed
as cook by Mr.. Joseph Todd, of this
place, left his wife with or near VIM.
Nixon, whose wife, Eliza, is sister of
Langston. About one month since, Mrs.
Langston was confined, and for want
of attention, not being able to help her
self, maggots bred on her person. While
in this condition, Eliza Nixon beat her
about the body and limbs with stick,
signs of which could be seen, afser. her
death. Her husband declined to visit
her or send her any food or clothing,
and she died on Saturday, the 18th.
Eliza Nixon was promptly lodged in Jail
to await investigation at the next term
of Court. On Tuesday night last Bob:
Langston was seized and tied by some of
his own race, color and previous condi-
ton; who were then about to administer
what they pleased to term decent suit
of old fashioned hickory stripes, when
Sheriff Sessions appeared on the scene
and ordered his release. We do not favor
lynch law, but some of the colored peo-
pie seem to think that Bob Langston de-
serves the benefit Of it, particularly as the
statute, as made and provided, cannot
reach him in this case. The child, emacia-
ted with hunger and neglect, died on the
18th, and was buried with its mother. The
colored people of this County have been
remarkable for good behavior, and we
deeply regret that their general reputa.
