The colored independent movement
gains in force. The colored voters
are getting tired of doing all the vot-
ing while the white Republicans get
the Offices and laugh among themselves
at the way they "fool the niggers >
The colored independent movement
does good in another way. 1t is-most
important for voters and citizens to
have political ideas of their own, to do
their own thinking, and not take their
opinions ready made from the Repub-
lican central committee and campaign
speakers. Until they think for them
selves they will never have the respect
either of their antagonists or their
allies. The more they think for them
selves the more they will find that their
true interests lie with the Democratic
party. In this Stale they certainly do.
But for the present their attitude as an
independent party will strengthen
their position When the members OF
the Republican State central committee
come TO the colored independents hat
in hand the latter will acquire their
proper influence in the party. BALTIC.

II has always been thought that
ears of corn have an even number OF
rows, and that one with an odd num-
Der OF rows would be an impossibility.
In slavery times this question was dis
cussed, and negro in Kentucky claim
ed that he had seen ears OF that kind
His master told him he would give him
his-the Negroes freedom for an ear
with an odd number of rows. Thi:
was in the early spring but in the fall,
during corn gathering time, the negro
came with sound ear of corn with
thirteen rows. He got his free papers
A long time afterwards the old Negro
told that in roasting ear time he took &
sharp knife. cut out one row of grains,
bound the ear together and knew JUS
where to find it when gathering time
came.

ees AND FLOW.


Life throbs with tides that ebb and dow,
With things that come and things that go.
The mists that rise when morn is fair,
Are not more transient in their stay,
Than are the hours that speed away.
Tor often life seems like dream
So quickly flash with glance and CLEAN,
A thousand things that come and go,
And cause the tides to ebb and dow.
A sad sweet strain that's borne along
BY breath of wind, bit Of song,
A few fond words when dear friends meet;
The music Of laugh that's sweet;
The sympathy that prompts a sigh;
A winsome face that passes by;
Brief joys, that stay their little while,
kindly glance, loving smile.
These ever come and ever so,
And, like the tides they ebb and flow.
A lovely landscape, fair and bright,
One moment seen, then lost to sight,
T he gorgeous clouds at set Of sun,
That crown the day when it is done,
The frosty pictures ON the pane,
That fade and come and fade again
The curling smoke that floats away;
A snow wr cath on winters day;
All these like waves that ebb and flow
With ceaseless throb, still come and go.
