now come to renew the measure, and
vigorously push it forward. The lot,
in the rear Of the church, is owned
by the parish, and it is proposed to ex-
tend the present building over it, so
as to make it useful for Sunday school
use and also to have a private study
and library for the resident minister.
The present Sunday-school attend
ance at Calvary is large and the chill
dren are so numerous that the corps
Of teachers are overworked. Five or
six additional teachers are wanted and
DR.. White hopes that the necessary
number will offer at once. 1t requires
a couple of hours attention or such a
matter, in the Sfternoon, and young
lady or gentleman could not serve the
Lord in better way than to step
forth and join the teachers band.
DR.. White said much more to en-
tsrtain his congregation, and he was
listened to with marked attention. At
the termination of his talk an appeal
was made in behalf ofa worthy mem
Der ofthe flock, once in aflluent cir
cumstances, but now in need, and al
ways valuable assistant to the cause
of religion. A liberal sum was offered
and the services were ended by the
members partaking together of the
blood and body of the Lord illustra
ted in the usual communion services.

On its way from the engine house
On lower Main street to the fire yester-
pay, No. 2 steam engine collided with
loose rail Of Brother Barrett's gOr-
geously rugged track near the corner
of Vance and Avery street. For a
time it was thought the iron projectile
had penetrated the boiler and wrecked
the entire apparatus 1t was the
middle of the afternoon before the
machine was extricated from its un-
fortunate position and conveyed back
to its quarters. Upon careful exam
ination it was discovered that
a pipe bent and two or
three gauge-cocks crippled was the
only damage resulting from the acci-
dent. The engine is all right, and
ready for another run to-day, should
another run be necessary. The fire
boys will, however, steer clear OF Bar
rett's crazy car tracks.

The COIOred Element in the
Next Legislature.

The Nashville Banner, usually a
cool and conservative democratic pa
per, throws out some very sensible OBJ
servations in regard to the appearance
of colored men in the arena of the
state legislature. 1t says:
Some persons are SO far behind the
times as to still laugh and deride the
presence of colored men in the legisla-
ture of Tennessee. There are five
members elected for the ensuing ses-
sion, aud, TO speak candidly, it would
be no degradation if more were in it,
provided they were competent. The
Banner said, some time since, the
time would come in the course of
events, when the prejudice against
color would so far give way that merit
would be rewarded, whether under a
black or white skin, and though there
might be for long years a social ban,
yet in politics this would give way as
colored people prepared themselves by
hard study and close application to
creditably fill office. Since the en-
franchisement of the whites, this is
the first time colored man has been
able to geta seat, and considering the
numbers of that race in the state, and
their great numerical majority in the
republican party, it is surprising that
it should be so. 1t certainly evinces
modesty or forbearance on their part
toward their white associates that they
would be willing to give them all the
meat and keep the loaves for them
selves. To get a full share of all
Offices to be obtained by their party,
it is only necessary for them to apply
themselves to the task of acquiring
knowledge. Without certain
amount of learning they had better
keep away from effice, as the elevation
would only exhibit more fully their
defects. Therefore, we say to
our colored members, do your duty
honestly and fairly maintaining a
dignifed course toward all, not ag-
gressiye as to social equality, which we
know is the weak point with the race
and has brought on them more ills
than all other things, and you will not
only receive the respect of your white
democratic colleagues but keep it.
Think for yourselves, act independ-
emily, without subservience to any
ono remembering at all times that
Won b,,ve the dignity Of member Of
the general assembly of Tennessee to
sustain, proud position, whatever
slight may be attempted to be put on
Il and one that every man should be
proud of. for they are the law makers
ofa million and a half of people.
