CoIored Journal,

now, as heretofore, it demands equal rights
and fair play for all men in the race Of
life. 1t bases its demands on the plea of
Justice and appeals to the fair judgment,
reason and conscience of good people, to
redress wrongs and prejudices which inne-
cent brethren are made to suffer because Of
race connections. Giving to the colered
citizen all his civil and political rights is
no favor, placing him under obligations,
but simple act of justice, restoring to
him that which is his by his BIRTHRIGHT As
A MAN. The GAZETTE is too fair not to
admit the black mans inferiority in az
quired knowledge, culture, and refinement
of the world but it is bold enough to hold
to the truth that naturally, he is the peer Of
the proudest of the human family In the
highest and noblest attributes of the intel
lect, mind and soul. To argue the truth Of
this fact requires condescention too
low for a Negro to stoop. To advocate,
appeal and demand for him an equal chance
for the development of his talents in the
world of science, literature, art commerce,
and the affairs of life generally, is high
Christian duty and special province Of
this journal. Great progress has been
made toward this end in the last decade.
and we look forward to the day when
broadened and enlightened opinion shall
completely llberate the Negro from the
wrongs inflicted upon him by prejudices,
and every man shall be measured accord
ing to his worth and merit. To hasten
forward this time the GAZETTE will lend its
best energies and talent, fostering kindly
feelings between the races as an important
factor to its realization.
Its weekly report Of important colored
news gathered from all parts of the world
will continue to add to it peculiar inter
est for every colored reader.

that those principles, If enforced in prac-

Tasting an Elephant.

The huge carcass of the elephant, or
rather what remained of it, lay on one
side, as it had fallen, with the legs ex-
tended. Behind the ribs and just over
the belly the Kafirs had peeled off a
large slab of skin about three feet
square, and through the trap-door thus
formed dragged out the stomach and in
testines; they had also cut out the heart,
liver and lungs, so that what was left
was merely a hollow shell, in the lower
part of which the blood had formed a
pool foot deep. Into this cavity they
and the bushmen now kept entering by
twos, disappearing entirely from sight,
searching eagerly for small pieces Of fat
along the backbone and about the kid
neys, and bathing in, and smearing
themselves all over with, the blood.
This is a common practice among all the
natives of the interior of Africa when
ever large game, such as elephants or
rhinoceroses, are killed particularly if
they happen to be the first of the season.
Whether they imagine that this bath OF
blood gives them courage or not can
not say. They do not wash it off again,
but let it dry on them and remain there
until it gradually wears or gets rubbed
off.-A Hunters Wanderiugs in africa.

Butler Buys Community's Lands.

General B. F. Butler appears to have
become an extensive landowner in
Chautauqua County. Our neighborhood
news this morning records the sale of
the Harris Community land in Portland,
Chautauqua County, to General Butler
for $4,000. The Harris Community
was started in 1867 with 1900 acres of
land, of which the founder, Thomas
Lake Harris, owned 1000. The prop
erty was never held in common, nor did
the members live as one family, after
the plan of the Oneida Community. But
they held that salvation is only obtained
through self-renunciation and life of
unsel6sh labor for humanity, and by
this means both spirit and body become
pure. They also held that God is two
in-one, infinite in fatherhood and moth
erhood, and that all who become angels
find their counterparts of sex and be-
come two-in-one to eternity; hence they
recognized marriage as the symbol Of
the holiest divine mysteries. The COM
mu~ity seems not to have flourished ex-
cecdingly, and Mr.. Harris left this State
some years ago.-Bs9alo Ezpress-

Painting Barns.

There are plenty of barns in my
neighborhood that present a respectable
appearance that have been built from
forty to fifty years and have never been
painted, and it is my Judgment, from
experience in keeping my dwelling
house painted, that if these barns had
been kept painted SO as to look we'll the
cost would have been three or four times
greater than to newly weatherboard
them. To look well, a building would
need a coat of paint about once in FIVE
years, and if neglected think it looks
worse than if not painted at ALL IL
called upon to decide the question to
paint or not to paint, as rule would
say not.-Lanada Farmer.

Postmaster Pearson. of New Yorl

Postmaster Pearson, of New York
City, is about to use new kind of letter
box in one of the postal districts of the
city, and if it is successful will introduce
it in all the districts. On each of the
new boxes will be posted a card con-
tanning a timetable giving the hours at
which such collection is due at the gen
eral office. In addition to this, each
box is to be provided with q movable
card on which will be printed the hour
for the next collection. This card will
be removed by the carrier when he takes
the letters, replaced by another giving
the time of the next collection, and pre-
s,nted at the Post-ofiice as evidence that
he has done his duty. 1t will thus serve
not only as guide to the public but as
guard over the collector, who can not
neglect his work without detection the
moment he delivers his letters at the
office.

parted with it on my representation, and hurry
ing up again, i soon persuaded the young man
to allow me to take him to his berth and apply
the remedy After doing SO | covered him up
snr.gly in bed and requested him not to get
ND untilI should see him again. That even
ing returned to his stateroom and found him
sleeping peacefully and breathing gently. I
reused him and inquired how he felt. Like
new man he answered with grateful
smile. / feelno pain and am able to stretch
my limbs without difficulty. I think III get
up.' No, don't get up tonight | said, but
let me rub you again with the Oil, and in the
morning you will be able to go aboye.' All
right he said, laughing. i then applied the
Oil again, rubbing his knees, ankles and arms
thoroughly, until he said he felt as if he had
mustard poultice all over his body. / then
left him The next morning when | went
upon deck for breezy promenade, according
to my custom, l found my patient waiting for
me with a smiling face, and aithout his crutches
although he limped in his movements, but
without pain. I don't think l ever felt so
happy in my life. To make along story short,
I attended him closely during the rest OF the
voyage-some four days-applying the OIL ev
erv night, and guarding him against too much
exposure to the fresh and damp breezes, and
on landing at New York. he was able, without
assistance, to mount the hotel omnibus, and
90 to the Astor House. l called on him two
DAYS later, and found him actually engaged in
packing his trunk, preparatory to starting
West for his home, that evening. With
bright and grateful smile he welcomed me,
and pointing to little box carefully done up
in thick brown paper, which stood upon the
table, he said: My good friend, can you
guess what that is?' A present for your
sweetheart, | answered. No. he laughed

along also, to show her the face of him, with

G.. M. FARMER,
1890 Third agensle. New YorR


"On my last voyage home from England,
some three years ago, in one of the Cunard
steamers, noticed one morning, after few
days out of port, young man hobbling about
on the upper deck, supported by crutches and
seeming to move with extreme difficulty and
no little pain. He was well dressed and OF
exceedingly handsome countenance, but his
limbs were somewhat emaciated and his face
very sallow and bore the traces of long suffer-
ing. As he seemed to have no attendant or
companion he at once attracted my sympa-
thies, and | went up to him as he leaned
against the taffrail looking out on the foam
ing track which the steamer was making.
"'Excuse me, my young FRIEND I said,
touching him gently on the shoulder, you ap-
pear to be an invalid and hardly able Or strong
enough to trust yourself unattended on an
ocean voyage; but if you require any assist
ance l am robust and healthy man and shall
be glad to help you
g. You are very kind he replied, in a weak
voice, but l require no present aid beyond
my crutches, which enable me to pass from
my stateroom up here to get the benefit Of the
sunshine and the sea breeze
g. You have been great sufferer, no doubt
said, and judge that you have been af
ficted with that most troublesome disease
rheumatism, whose prevalence and intensity
seem to be on an alarming increase both in
England and America
"'You are right he answered: Il have
been its victim for more than year, and after
failing to find relief from medical skill have
lately tried the Springs of Carlsbad and Vichy.
But they have done me no good, and am now
on my return home to Missouri to die, / sup
pose l shall be content if life is spared to me
to reach my mothers presence. She is a
widow and am her only child ETY.

lY beside him watching the snowy wake of the
ship. While thus standing my thoughts re-
verted to a child-a ten year old boy-of a
neighbor Of mine residing near my consulate
residence, who had been cured of stubborn
case of rheumatism by the use of st. Jacobs
Oil, and / remembered that the steward of the
ship had told me the day before that he had
cured himself of very severe attack of the
gout in New York just before his last voyage
by the use of the same remedy. at once left
my young friend and went below to find the
steward Inot only found him off duty, but
| discovered that he had a bottle Of the Oil in

Sentinentalism and Ignorance.

The annual deaths from chloroform
in this country used to be about twenty.
They were, probably, not more than one
in every $4,000 of persons to whom it
was given; but they were intolerable to
those who felt in any measure RESPONSE
BILE, though blameless, for them, and
manv went back to the use of ether.
which is safer, though less convenient
Probably less than one in $4,000 die OF
it: but [ saw one die to whom it was
faultlessly given, and he was so good
and generous a man that | felt it would
have been right to kill a hundred ami
mails either to save his life or to find out
why he died, and to be able in the fu.
ture to avert so awful a catastrophe. Ii
is in reflection on cases such as this, in
which lives are lost or health is i'm
paired for want of knowledge which
seems to be within reach of expert
mental study, that medical men of sci
ence feel justly impatient of the re-
straint put upon these researches. They
know that such knowledge as they want
has often been gained by experiments
on animals; they know that the expert
ments made in this country are, both
severally and in their total, far less
pain giving and far more useful than
are either the shooting, hunting or fish
ing practiced by many and encouraged
by nearly all of the best people in the
land; they see all round them mere
luxuries of dress and furniture, gathered
at immense cost of pain and misery, and
perhaps only little more useful than
might be obtained from animals killed
for necessary food; and yet they find
themselves selected for Legislative re-
straint and still exposed to public and
private charges of vile cruelty, abused
in sensational meetings, and as much as
possible hindered in the studies which
even legislation would permit. OF
course, among the opponents of expert
ments on animals there are several very
different groups, and with some of these
it is useless to appeal to reason. Some
have committed themselves to the agita-
ton and can not recede without dis
credit or more material loss, and some
are carried on with SO strong an inn
pulse of mind once made up that they
can not pause for a revision of their
judgment. But there are many who
favor the agitation only because they
are ignorant of the facts of the case
they have heard or read accusations of
cruelty grossly misstated, and have
heard no defense or denial of them

him afraid; therefore he wages war in his Watery
world Increasingly when once attacked. Alth0ugh
tiny he cannot be said to be devoid of understands
ing having ten legs to assist his locomotion; this,
however avails him little, for, when conquered,
he never turns his back to his enemy, starting
into bold run, but, Ike many politicians during
election time, slips off sideways. There comes
timein the life of this pugnacious fellow when the
years bring him more bone and muscle than he
can dispose of with comfort, and he finds him
selfin very tight place; his shoes pinch him
and he begins to realize the practicabiity OF APP
plying to Dame Nature for more room or a house
in proportion to his increasing size. Nature
slowly responds to the call; but in her own good
time provides new home, so that the enter
prising little creature does not wander about
homeless, but is provided for suitably, as was the
old sailor, who dropped his rheumatism and
crabbedness when he applied the Great German

may sound rather fshy to the skeptical reader,
and to such we would reply in language too plain
to be misunderstood-in words illustrating facts
that even the waves of time cannot wash away

has rendered the lives and homes of nyriads Of
sufferers brighter than ever the electric light can,
which people pause to admire along the way. Still
more happily served than the old sailor was an
