of popular interest: DR. J. +. Speck, who
is connectc with the Wilmington Erry

Of st. Jacobs OIL. Dr. Specks states that
he uses ihe Oil in his family as a house
hold remedy, a sort Of universal panacca
for ~ aches and pains, and has always
found it to act most happily. His atten-
ton was called to ii by the many test-
monials in its favor and he one day used
it upon himself for sore throat. Two
applications were sufficient TO effect a
cure. He also used il on his little girl
for sore throat with gratifying success.
The same child had scarlet fever this
winter which left the tendons of one leg
much contracted. The little prattler
couldn't walk without assistance and
suffered much inconvenience and pain.
Several applications of st. Jacobs oil re-
stored her limb 10 its normal condition

The Race Question at Carlisle.

CARLISLE, PA, Sept. IA question
has been sprung upon the school board
of this town which is giving some anx-
iety to the teachers of the public
schools. The accommodations at the
at the Indian school at the Carlisle bar
racks are entirely insufficient for the
entire number of children that have
been sent from the Western reserva.
lions, and about so of them have been
hired out as servants to citizens of Car
Isle, one of the conditions being that
they are to attend the common schools.
A number Of families having little In
dams in their employ have therefore
made application to the school board
for permits to send them to school.
The general sentiment of the board
and of the citizens generally is against
admitting them. but it is question as
to whether they have the power under
the laws of the State to bar them Out.
1t is commended by many that they
must be dealt with 81 other apprentices
and wards Of schools are, without refer.
ence to the fact thai they are tue chill
dren of Indians mot taxed"
Mr.. John B. Bratton, secretary OF the
school board, has addressed letter to
the State superintendent OF public edu-
cation, giving him the facts in the case
and asking for his opinion as to the
right of these children to attend the
public schools. 1t is possible that there
may be little race prejudice at the
bottom of the opposition, but 1t is
urged with goodreason that the schools
Ire already 0vercrowded. The applica-
items already on Gle contemplate the
admission of Indian servants and ap-
prentiees to the schools for white chill
dren. There are four schools for col
ored children in the town, but 1t is not
proposed to mix African and Indian
pupils.

THE IsTnMUs EARTHQUAKES.
More Disastrous Than at First Appre-
hended.

NEW YORK, Sept s-The Central and
South American Telegraph company,
although they have not yet thrown
open their lines, which have been com
pleted to the public, furnish to the press
the following additional particulars u
the earthquake which occurred yester
day on the Isthmus of Panama, and
which was more disastrous than yes
terday's brief dispatch reported.
A cable dispatch from the superin.
tendent Of the company at Panama,
dated to-day, says the damage done by
the earthquake turns out to be greater
than was first thought. The cathedral
and many of the largest buildings liz
Panama are badly injured. The loss in
this city is estimated at several hundred
thousand dollars. Several lives have
been lost in Aspinwall. There is no
communication with Aspinwall, either
by rail or telegraph, and many bridges
on the line of road are broken.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

We have had offered us a county
ticket. The question is, shall we
accept it, shall we amend it or shall
we put out new ticket entirely.
This is very serious matter. The
ticket offered is not such as we all
would like to have. Then we ask,
can we better it? Can we elect
this ticket, and if elected will it be
of any benefit to us as a party, or
will it help the colored mani They
say We should not raise the ques-
ton of color, but there is so much
color in our party that we can't
help mentioning color some times.
The MESSENGER would say to the
convention which meets here on
next Saturday, if you cannot better
this ticket, take it as it stands, go to
work, organize and let's wiz in the
coming election. We say to you,
know no favorite, consider no indi-
vidual promise, but look for the
good of the old State.
The principal objection by Re-
publicans to the ticket seems to be
the candidates for Register and
Clerk. Those are good paying
places, but can we offer for these
more acceptable men ? Ifthese can
didates will promise to do the
square thing, it might be best to
leave the ticket as it is. 1t might
be best to make no changes at all.
1t is hoped the party will DO repre-
scented by its best men and wise ac-
ton will be taken. We should not
determine to defeat the ticket be-
cause our favorite is not on it, but
let each one of us advise the course
In which there is most probable sue.
cess, and then stand by the old flag,
Il matters not whose name is on it.

The propriety of running colorcd
