The Old Cemetery.

The commeEdable action of the city
in having the fences repaired around
the old colored cemetery, calls to mind
the fact that our people neglect the
sleeping place of their departed friends
and relatives too much. It is pleas
ure to note the taste displayed in the
little tributes of love and affection
which mark the graves in the new
cemetery. 1t is to be hoped that this
attention will be divided with the old
graveyard, that it may not be permit
ted to remain subject to depredations
and neglect.

A recent announcement to his
congregation, by Rev. DIR. Bryson
pastor of the Presbyterian church.
that he was contemplating the accept
ance of call from the church at Cow
ington, KY, created much surprise
and regret. A meeting was held this
week at the church to consider the
subject. Resolutions we're passed tes-
tifying to the high esteem in which
the pastor was held and urgently re-
questing him to remain.

THE PEOPLES PAPER.

THE GAZETTE lives because it is neces-
sity. The peculiar state of affairs which
called it iuto existence mapped out its
course ami decided its policy and princ-
pies Steadfast and fixed in these, its
growth in circulation and influence has
continued since its establishment in No
vember, 1879, until to-day, it is known
and read in the remotest parts OF the Union.
While in Alabama it has become a house.
hold word in nearly every colored family,
ipding its way to tiresides visited by no
other journal 1t goes on its weekly mis-
sion not ouly throughout our own State,
but to hundreds of eager readers in adjoin-
Ing States
In its distinctive field as a
Colored Journal,
uow 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 inuo-
cent brethren are made to suffer because OF
race connections. Giving to the colored
citizen all his civil and political rights il
no favor, placing him under obligations,
but simple act OF Justice, restoring to
him hat which is his by his BIRTHRIGHT AS
MAN. The GAZETTE is too fair not TO
admit the black mans inferiority in az
quired knowledge, culture, and refinement
Of the world, bat 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 aud noblest attributes OF the intel
lect, mind and soul. TO argue the truth Of
this fact requires condescention too
low for Negro to stoop. To advocate,
Al peal aud demanffor 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 hign
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 liberate the Negro from the
wrongs Inflicted upon him by prejudices,
and every nau 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.

he was ia the saloon delivering the
goods he left his horse standing out
side nnhitched, aud when he had fin-
ished his business and turned 70 leave
he found that his horse and carriage
had disappeared. Thinking perhaps
that the horse had returned 70 the
store Mr.. Fighter at once started for
that point, but upon arriving the horse
was not there. he then hitched up
up another horse and started on a
search, driving to Market and Third
street Or dyes and to the first toll gate
on the Newport Pike. Nothing had
been seen OF the team at these points.
He continued his search until nearly 8
o'clock Wi'hout success.
About 9 o'clock one of the young
ladies who Is employed in his store
was passing down Market street on her
way home, and when between F urLh
and Fifth streets she found the miss
ing team in front ofeone of the stores.
She Immediately got into the carriage
and drove to the store. Whether some

tion. She lives alone, sleeping at night
In her hut and going out 10 work during
the day. Mary aimed 10 earn more than
she spent, and 10 the process OF years
she bad saved over forty dollars by her
hard labor, which she had tied up Sc
curely In an old stocking aud deposited
at the bottom OF chesi, winch she kept
at the foot Of the bed. About midnight,
one night before Christmas, there came
70 ber house three negro men who
forced the door open and went in,
awaking Mary, and braHdishing razors
with which they threatened 10 kill her.
Mary begged for her life and told them
that If they would not kill her she
would tell them where her money was.
She did so, and they got ber money out
Of the chest and divided it amongst
them. They then proceeded to ransack
the house, and robbed Mary Of ber -four
and all other groceries they could hnd.
Worse than all, each Of the black fiends
committed the grossest outrage on the
poor woman. Before leaving they took
the coal oil eau and poured the coal oil
over the floor, intending probably to
fire the house and conceal the evidence
Of their crime by barLing their victim,
but were frightened of by some noise
they beard, or by Mary's screams. This
is the story told by Mary as 5000 as she
was able to get to q neighboI's. Justice
Robinson, of Easton, issued writs for
the three men, who were fully identi-
fed and are well known by their victim,
aud on "Wednesday last Constable
Grace got two of them, who are now In
Jail. The other one, who was supposed
TO be the ringleader, has not yet been
found. 1t Is supposed he has gone over
into Delaware, and is hiding himself
there somewheras. II Mary's story
