The facts set forth in the following ar
ticle from the Boston Post, cannot fail to
interest the reader. 1t concerns the ne
groes in Kansas: "a little over year
ago. Gen. Conway and Wendell Phillips
were trying to fire the enthusiasm of the
North up the point of supporting and en-
couraging of the exodus movement
among the colored people Of the South.
Now, Mrs. Comstock, an elderly lady,
with white hair and benevolent face, and
dressed in the style Of the Quakers, has
been sent East, by Gov. St. John, of
Kansas, to solicit money, clothes and
other things for the relief of the suffering
colored immigrants of that State. OF
course genuine humanity and phiian-
throphy do not stop to inquire into causes.
Their springs of action are touched by the
simple fact that suffering exists and we
trust there will be free response to the
appeal which Mrs. Comstock is now max
ing in behalf of $4,000 negroes more or
less destitute. But it is nevertheless
proper and profitable to inquire with
whom the responsibility rests for this Sc
rious state of things. There are now FIVE
times as many colored people IL Kansas
as there were year ago, and even then
whole families slept in the open air, and
many women and children died of
starvation 1t is not denied now that
Kansas was represented to the deluded
blacks as land of promise, place where
the forty acres and-a mule idea was to
be finally realized, while in addition milk
and honey were to flow in streams from
forests of gum trees whose branches
would swarm with luscious 'possums
almost ready to pop open from very fat
ness. So ailuring was the picture that
whole families left their little homes
where they had plenty and comfort, dis
posing of their mules and poaltry and
such other property as they may have
had for trifing considerations to join
the grand march for the new Canaan.
The disappointment of the present rude
awakening from such fairy dream can
hardly be appreciated by those who do not
know how thoroughly sensuous she high
est enjoyment of the Southern negro is.
| They found that they had been fed upon
deInsions. Many who could get together
| the requisite means returned TO their old
homes with experience to last them
| through life. Many others who could
NOT raise the money accomplished the
same thing through great hardship and
suffering. But the great mass have not
been able to get away. They have had

Johnny Tadsbury although not a favor
ite with his teacher, took the prize at
school last week for the best original es-
say.
The following are his remarks concern
ing
THE MEwL.
The mewl is an anermul which wus
born after Noer built the ark. The rinos-
erus was in the ark but there aint no
account Of the mew being there, an
guess he wusn't, COS he would've bruised
around in it an made trouble. Noer
landed on Mount Arerat, but if the mewl
had been in the ark there amt no telling
where Noer would've landed. The
chances are he would've bin kilt by the
mewl COS mewl don't like to be cooped
up; it amt in his mater Mount Arerat
is big hill in the Holy Land AID there
Noer turned loose the unerkorH an the
lamb an the huns roared. If | aint wrong
Mount Arerat was the place where the
profit Eliger flew up in blaze of fire.
Sum boys who go craw ishln' OH Sunday
call the profit Llge- I've got dog
named Lige. He is brindle bull dog
and won't back down for cirkuler saw.
Dad bought him from Jim Jones' unkle.
Jim Jones' grand ma is hip-shot an wears
a plum-colored glass eye an shouts at
camp meetin's Dad bought the dog to
keep the niggers outen the water melon
patch, an its wrong to call the profit
Lige Bad boys amt got no respect for
the profits no how. I'm the heal in my
Sunday school class Deakun Smith
owned big roam mewl, an he hsd a wart
on his leg an roman nose a man
named Wilkins who loaf around tryin' to
get on kurrners juries tole Deaknn Smith
to pull hair outen the nevis tail and
tie it round the wart, an it woald come
off in two DAYS Deakun Smith pulled
the hair outen the nevis tail. Doctor
Jlmson ses that Deakun Smith won't be
able to pass the contribushin box fur two
weeks. He was kicked through a bord
fenc in the stummick an fell in a was
nest bigger'n door-mat. Dad tole
Widder Spriggs that he would rather
work in a powder facktery than fool with
a nevis tail. Dad has handled nevis.
He saws that mewl an a saving bank
won't do to trust no way You can fix 1t,
that a mewl will let you ride him thirty
years just to get a chance to fall off a
bridge with you. Never let a niewl with
lot Of white in his eye point his tail at
your head. Dad ses it Amt safe, an wont
miss its aim once in q thousand. The
best way to hitch mewl in a Wagon is
to hire nigger. A mewl has to git up
an dust to git away with nigger They
are kin somehow. The Missury mewl is
an Amerikin institushun, but the Spanish
mewl kin telerskops his hine legs an is a
perferk tornader when he gifts mad.
You kin tame the mild Bengoil tiger but
keep away from the Spanish mewl. The
cote is next to the mule for meanness, an
the mewl cant be beat.

bushels OF corn to the acre, as follows: !:

breaking as deep as my horse could well
carry it, with the same scooter. broke
up the entire patch this way running a

before planting, which was done by open
ing between the newly made beds with a
SIX inch shovel plow putting in 100 pounds
