SHERMAN'S
Compound Bar SOAP

Costs but four cents per pound. No washing
machines are required; no pounding is neces.
sary, and usually but very little, If any, rub
bling ts required. 1t is easily made, boy or
girl OF fifteen years of age, by going according
to the directions, can make 100 lbs. in one
hour. The ingredients which compose 1t can
be obtained In any village.
When the Soap Is made it can be readily cut
into bars, and Is ready for use. We have de-
voted great deal Of time and labor to invent
a soap that would take the dirt and grease
out of clothes without damage to them or
without having to rub, pound, etc., to make
them clean. All that Is required with this
soap is simply to soak them in su1s of this
soap short time, and then to boil from ten
to twenty minutes, then rinse, blue and hang
out and they will be perfectly clean and white,
not yellow, as some soap leaves the clothes.
The article itself Is the best recommend it
can have, and upon its own merit we are
willing to let 1t stand. We are confident that
no person after testing its quality will be
without the family right to make and use this
excellent soap. -.
In order that all may be benefited by this
soap, and none, however poor they may be.
need be prevented from using 1t and enjoying
its benefit, we have placed the price of family
rights at the low sum of ONE DOLLAR EACH,
and the family right for making and using the
CENTENNIAL ILLUMINATING OIL at the small
sum Of ONE DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS
EACH.

Heidelberg Duelling.

Among the sixty or seventy English
and American students at Heidelberg,
none Of them belong to the fighting
corps. They are not cowards either
1t is known if occasion requires they
can fight their own way, but they have
no desire that their good looking faces
shall be hacked and chopped up like dogs
meat and be disfgured ever after. Not
long ago an American student had a
slight quarrel with one of the fighting
corps students and received from him
challenge. Being the challenged party
the American sent word to the German
by friend that he would meet him the
next morning at o'clock at place out
side the city, and the weapons should be
navy revolvers (he had good Pair1, at
ten PAGES. The German and his friends
concluded it would not be good day for
duels and so .he matter dropped. A Stu
dent here was reading me an extract Of
letter he had recently received from
his father in Kentucky. AS near as l
can remember this is the substance Of
the letter;
DEAR BOIL hear that they have
sword duels in Heidelberg, and that
many Of the students engage in theu. ]

The Word Negro"

The Standard Bearer, edited by col
ored man, says, We are airain that
some OF our readers among the colored
people misunderstood the word ''negro,"
as applied to their race, and one Of our
correspondents has most vigorously pro
tested against our-use Of it He prob
ably considers it synonymous with ''nig-
ger" vulgar, meaningless epithet, that
no people on earth use so frequently as
the colored people themselves
The word "negro" is the proper race
designation Of the colored people in
America, and is rightly applied 20 the
descendants of the tribes along the
coast OF Africa. The names OF our
young friend alludes TO with 50 much
pride were African, out not negro. The
word "Afriean" has no relevancy az .
race designation any more than the
word American" and American NAV
be Esquimaux, Sioux or AngVo-Saxon
according the blood Of his veins; an
African may be Egyptian, Moor or Ne
gro for the same reason, and We have
never thought the word African a prop
erly descriptive adjective when applied
to our race. l.EF frrw1L
The term "colored,7 while generally
used, is rather meaningless, and strictly
speaking, the word Negro with big
NJ Is the only correct term, and We see
no improprietT IN using il It is
neither low nor degrading, unless our
sctions make it 90, and i. is open 70 no
more objection than the words Irish OF
German Our ancestors were negroes
and no more barbarous or uncivilized
than the ancestors of the whites, and It
is only false idea OF its meaning that
makes our people object to its use In
these days OF fine phrases, it will be
well for us TO use the shorte- and more
exmessi-e term, American citizens OF

A short time ago the engineer Of a
train near Montreal saw q large dog on
the track, barking furiously. The en-

tention to the noise, and refused to stir.
The dog was run over and killed The
engineer observed that the animal
crouched close to the ground as he was
struck by the cowcateher. \ minute
later the fireman saw bit of white
muslin Auttering on the locomotive, and
he stopped the engine. On going back
to where the Gog was killed it was dis
covered that no: only the dog, but q lit.

that Colonel Peytou, OF Loudoun, made
one OF the most telling and effective
OF the speeches that have been made in
this county for many day. His sentiments
were applauded to The echo. His arraign-
ment OF the Radical party was one OF the
seyerest TO which an audience ever listened.
His references 10 Garfield in his disposition

things, such as to reply to card written

says "As some OF my friends had been led TO

mentioned is forgery" In answer TO the
above will state that no such name a. ID.

patch, and we have no such name on our
list. We can't see how MIR. Brooks can get
scared before he is hurt. We only know
OF one ID. Il. Brooks, and he Is only COM
mon notorious yagrant; furthermore, we
would not have him in our club.room. We
would kick him out il he would attempt 10

published there has been an organized mob
going through the city telling men II they

was written IN view of the attempt OF Mr.
KoINER to secure an electoral ticket for
which all Democrats could vetes
The Fepp IN VaRGgYIA.--Tbe Democratic
marty OF the United States, struggling for
the maintenance Of constitutional liberty,
opposed by a desperate and reckless organi.
cation tsat would rather destroy tue fora
OF government created by the fathers than
let 90 its bold on power, has a right TO eX-
pect that the Democracy OF Virginia will
not jeopardize success in this contest 10y
carrying local question into the national
campaign.
We DO not question the right OF the peo-
pie OF Virginia to manage their local affsirs
in their own way. Their bonded debt is a
matter for them to settle with their credi-
tors, and the Democracy OF other States Rave
no ground for interference. But when this
debt quarrel threatens to throw the e'ec-
toral vote OF Virginia into the hands OF the
opposition, when local fe1d is nationaiized
by the act OF the fac.ionsin putting up sepa-
rate electoral tickets, there Is not Demo
crat from Florida to Oregon, from Maine TO
Texas, who bas not good right and good
reason TO cry out against TINS i0iiy, ahu 10
call on the Virginia Democrats TO remem-
Der that at such a time as this they arc
bound ia honor to be true TO their party.
Good faith demands that this feud shall
not be carried into the national area a. The
Virginia Democracy have no right to nulli-
fy the bard and honest work OF their friends
in the other States. There is ample time for
the two factions to repair the mistake they
have made, and to agree upon siugle e.ec.
tOraI ticket.
We feel assured that reason will rise above
passion, aud that the Democracy OF the Old
Dominion will give their friends in other
States no cause of complaint.
