THE HERO OF THE CONFLICT.

Frederick Douglass is delivering new lee
ture with John Brown on his historical char
acter. OF this lecture the National Republic
can says:
After few Introductory sentences, Mr..
Douglass said that personal feelings are not
always a safe guide to human Affairs. Some
thing more is needed, and in this light the
memorable raid on Harper's Ferry may be so
regarded. Viewed alone without its antece-
dents the
RAID UPON HARPER's FERRY
was one of the most cold-blooded ever plan
ned, and all the circumstances 60 to make it
the most aggravated ever conceived. When an
emperor is blown to atoms, or an oppressive
landlord in Ireland is shot, it is viewed with
detestation, but when the facts are taken into
consideration with what has gone before it is
viewed differently. So with this raid; viewed
with the attending circumstances, we regard it
differently. This raid was no worse than
some of the excuses committed on Sherman's
march to the sea. Nothing is not reaped that
has not first been sown. He who sows the
wind must expect to reap the whirlwind. God
is not Knocked, and whatsoever man sows
he shall reap. The difference between the
moral and physical world is not so marked,
yet the harvest will nevertheless come. Here,
as elsewhere, there are century plants, and
their fruits will surely come. So, my friends,
deeper down than old John Brown we must
look. The fruit was reaped from two hundred
years Of blood and bondage,
THE ALARM CRY ON THE POTOMAC
was only the answering cry that had gone up
from African shores when men had been torn
from their homes to supply slaves for Ameri-
can plantations. Owing to want of space this
deeply interesting lecture cannot be treated in
detail. Only the salient points can be touched
upon. Mr.. Douglass traced John Browns
efforts to iberate the colored race, showed
how he was willing to sacrifice his life in the
cause, and how for years and years he planned
for their emancipation. He gave most
graphic account of his first interview with
him and described the poor way in which
Brown lived SO that he might save money for
his own great purpose. The lecturer closed
by brilliant tribute to his character and a
eulogy of his hatred of oppression and love
for liberty. The lecture was frequently inter-
rupted by bursts Of applause, and it will
doubtless be as attractive as all Of this emf
nent orators previous efforts.

Why 1900 Is not Leap Yea =.

The year 1900, although it is Invisible by
four without remainder, is not leap year,
and it comes about in this way: Under the
"Julian period" the solar year was considered
to consist of 36s days and quarter Of day,
but as the actual or civil year could not be
made to include quarter of a day, an addi-
tonal day was inserted in the calendar every
fourth year to make up for four lost quarters,
and this is the 29th of February. But the JUL
ian method of liberalization made the year too
long by eleven minutes and ten and one-third
seconds. This put the calendar ahead of solar
time one day in I29 years; so to balance this,
in the adjustment of the calendar known as
the "Gregorian," after Pope Gregory KILL,
now universally adopted in Christian countries
except Russia, one of the leap years is dropped
at the close of every century, except when the
figures of the centurial year, leaving out the
two ciphers at the end, can be divided by four
without remainder. Thus, 1000 was leap
year, and 1000 will be, but 1900 and 1900 are
not.

AN INTERESTING FIGURE.

How CO'Ored Boy Who Was Slave Be-
came n NJ ember of Congress.
Mr.. Lynch will make an interesting figure
in the house as the sole representative of his
race. The last colored men in the house were
Messrs. Cain and Rainey, both of South Car
olina, who sat in the Fory-ffth congress, and
the latter of whom was unseated just before
the end Of his term. Mr.. Lynch has an intel
ligent and rather striking face. He is mu-
latto of light coffee color, and his face and
head-but for the color of his skin and rather
prominent cheekbones-are the face and head
of Caucasian. He has a broad and well-de-
veloped forehead, large and expires i've eyes,
and heavy black moustache, and crisp,
waving hair. His address is pleasant and his
speech is always correct. As writer and
speaker he is considerably
ABOVE THE CONGRESSIONAL AVERAGE.
Considering the disadvantages under which
he began life, Mr.. Lynch must be regarded
as highly successful man. He was a
slave until the war broke out; did not
learn to read until he was thirty years DID,
did not learn to write until he was
seventeen; was speaker of the Mississippi
house when he was twenty-three; became of
the legal age to be elected to congress-
twenty fve-one month after he was nomi-
mated for the first time, and just two months
before he was elected. and after having been
four times a candidate for congress-being
twice returned elected, once counted out by
the democrats, and now counted out, but
seated by the republicans-is only thirty
four years of age. He was employed at sew
enteen
AS A WAITERBOY
in photograph gallery in Natchez, and while
doing this work acquired the art of taking
pictures. After two years he took charge Of
a gallery as practical photographer, and
managed it for several years. Since 1860
that is to say, since he was twenty-one years
old-he has been actively engaged in politics,
but he has had other occupations, and has
accumulated some property. He owns and
successfully manages a plantation of ISo
acres near Natchez. He says, with some
pride, that he has tried to be saving, and
mentions as an example of the puerle argu-
ments with which the democrats have endeav-
ored to win away negro voters from him, that
they have charged him with being "stingy,"
said he ibid not give enough money away"
and alleged as his particular crime that he
has saved $4,000 out of the SEC, 900 he has
drawn in congressional salaries.

A TraniIa tlOn from helne.

If thou dost but pass before me,
And feel but the touch ofthy dress,
My heart leans and follows in rapture
The track of thy loneliness.
Then thou turnest about, and bendest
Those great eyes of thine on me,
And my heart is so stricken with panic,
1t scarcely can follow thee.
A pine tree stands alone on
A bare bleak Northern height;
The ice and snow they swathe it,
As it sleeps there, all in white.
IT'S dreaming of palm tree
In far off Eastern land,
That mourns, alone and silent,
On ledge of burning sand.
