Does the young man who persists
id being d loafer ever reflect how
mucIi less it would cost to be de-
cent, respectable man? Does he i'm
agine that loaferism is more cconom-
ical than gentility? Anybody can be
q gentleman, if he chooses to be with
out much cost, but it is mighty ex-
pehslve being aloafer 1t costs time,
ID the first place, days, weeks and
months of it; In fact, about ali the
time he has, for no man can be n
first class loafer without devoting his
whole time to it. The occupation,
we'll followed, hardly affords time for
eating, sleeping, dri-- we had almost
said drinking, but on reflection, we
will except that. The loafer finds
time to drink whenever invited, at
the cost of friends. Once fully en-
barked on the sea of loaferdom and
you bid farewell to every friendly
sail that sails finder an hbhest and
legitimate flag. Your consorts will
only be the buccaneers of society. 1t
costs money, and, though the loafer
may not earn cent, or have one for
months, the time lost might have
procured him much money, if devo-
ted to industry instead of sloth. 1t
costs health, vigor, comfort, all the
true pleasures of living, honor, dig.
nifty, self-respcct, and the respect Of
the world when living, and finally, all
right Of consideration when dead.
BE gentleman, then; it is far
cheaper.

LETTER FROM THE BUCK.
EYE 81 ATE.
OBERLiN; ONO, ]
Aug. LIST, I


We shall try to give Sotir readers
few items from this place, which
we believe will not be wholly uninter-
esting.
The town of Oberlin is situated
thirty-five miles west of Cleveland,
on the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railway, abotit ten miles
south of lake Erie. 1t has popu-
lation of about four thousand. 1t
is very beautifully situated. The sur
face of the country is level. There
are no hills, nothing more than here
and there slight undulation of the
surface. The dwelling houses are
nearly all fralne-the public build
ings brick. Both sides Of the streets
are shaded, and every yard is q lawn.
1t is the scat Of 0berlin College,
founded In 1888, which founding was
the beginning of the town--Oberlin
Commercial Institute and the Oberlin
Telegraph College. When the schools
are in session there are from twelve
to fifteen hundred students in attend
ance.
There is not mitch to attract the
attention of a strangbruhless, indeed,
it be the unusually quiet demeanor
and apparent piety of the inhabit.
ants. In our observations, we have
never found place in which relig-
ious worship is so much attended to
as in this place. On Thursday night
prayer meeting night-all places Of
business are closed. The use of to
bacco is very strenuously discouraged
few having the "impudence to smoke
on the street. The user of liquors
would scarcely be recognized as a
member of society, il it were known
who was. But after all, Prohibit
ZIONIST declared in speech, n few.
days ago, that seven hundred quarts
of beer were consumed every week
in Oberlin This is equal to one hun.
dred quarts per day for four thous-
and inhabitants,o or one quart per day.
for forty persons. o, how depravcd
is man!
What will perhaps most astonish
your readers, Is the manner in which
the white population mix with color
ed At least onc-third of the popu-
lation is composed of negtbes, quad
rooms, octaroons, or; perhaps, some
more remote degree Of African blood.
This seems, to have been one of the
places III which fugitive slaves found
a sbctire hiding place. 1t whs the
PLACE to or through which ran the
famous "tinderground road" There
was no road at all, but the way in
which slaves were helped to run away
from their masters and hide them
selves along the route, and the i'm
possibility of pursuing and recover
ing them, gave rise to the "under-
ground road" These negroes have
increased in numbers, and have as
simulated with the white population
to such degree as causcs West Vir-
ginians to look on and contemplate
with scorn Sometimes the negro
and the white walk side by side in
the streets; they attend the same
public schools, they attend the same
college, are in the same classes, room
in the same building and eat at the
same table; they sit side by side in
Church. One of the leading singers
in the choir of the First Congration-
a, Chiirch is young colored lady.
West Virginia, we are proud to say,
never has attained, and We hope new
er will attain this high degree Of civ
ilization. WANDERER.

SO he could speak thus lightly of
her becoming the wife of another

THE Wheeling InttUigencer Of a
tcceht date; saysi James Robb, who
died near Cincinnati on Saturday
last, began his business career as a
clerk in this city in 1927. Eight
Years afterward he was appointed
Cashier of the Branch Bank at Nor
gantown, hhd remained there until
his removal to New Orleans in 1881,
where the greater portion of his life
was spent. Mr.. Robb's advancement
in the Crescent City was iinprece-
dented. Within five years after his
settlement there he stood first dmong
the permanent bankers of New Or
leans, and had begun to extend his
financial operations abroad. Between
1888 and 1857 he established banking
and commercial agencies in New Orr
leans, Philadelphia, New York, Sab
Francisco and Liverpool, besides SCI
curing important railway extensions
in Louisiana, and establishing gas
light companies in New Orleans and
Havana.
During these years his popularity
was only eqnaled by his facility in
money getting. Steamboats, were
named after him, political positions
were rendered him, and presents of
silver services and other gifts bright
ened up his fortHhate pathwath. In
1857 reverses came and the panic
which ensued ih the fall of that year
swept away the bulk of large for
tune and only left him modest com
potency, which he subsequently in
creased to some extent in railway and
banking operations in Chicago.
Since 1878 Mr.. Robb has been liv-
ing quietly near Cinciniati, and his
death seems to have been the result
of too sudden retirement from &C
tive work rather than any special
malady;
