Future of the Colored Race.
From Address by Frederick Douglass.

rEOHi AuuAesS W nIcueIlCh DOueiabss
What is to be the future of the colored
people of this country? Three different So
lutions to this difficult problem have been
given and adopted by different classes of the
American peopfe-First colonization in
Africa; second extinction through poverty,
disease and death; third assimilation and
unification with the great body of the Amer
lean people. ] do not look for colonization
either in or outside of the United States.
Africa is too far off, even if we desired to go
there, which we do not. Removal to
any of the Territories is out of
the question. We have no business
to put ourselves before the bayonets OF
the white race. We have seen the fate OF
the Indian. AS to extinction, the prospect
in that direction has been greatly clouded by
the census just taken in which it is seen
that our increase is 10 per cent. greater than
that of the white people OF the South. There
is but one destiny, it seems to me, left for us,
and that is to make ourselves and be made
by others part of the American people in
every sense of the word. Assimilation. not
isolation, Is our true policy and our natural
destiny. Unification for us is life; separa-
tion is death. We cannod affort to set uu for
ourselves a separate political party or adopt
for ourselves political creed apart from the
rest of our fellow-citlzens

BUTLER AT NEW ORLEANS.
The Story Told by Lady Resident of the
Crescent City.

CFcsCSnU Sltys
New Orleans Times Democrat
Some startling revelations were made to a
representative of the Times Democrat by a
lady, who, for motives of her own, does not
care to have her name thus publicly brought
into the controversy. The lady is a widow
of a prominent lawyer, whose sympathes
were largely with the Federal forces during
the war. Men of his professional and secular
acuteness were not easily obtained in those
days as legal advisers to the military rulers;
so the services of this lawyer who was
even better acquainted with criminal than
with civil law, were sometimes eager
ly sought after by General But
Ter and his successor, General
Banks. Under these circumstances
he was in position to ask and receive favors
from the United States authorities that few
Others could obtain. The lady said that just
after Butler left the city she went with a
friend to identify and take possession of
some silver ware that had been previously
seized This permission had been obtained
by her husband, who, to a certain degree had
influence enough to protect the property of
his intimates. Armed with this permit the
lady and her friend proceeded to the place
where the confscated silver was kept in safety
and secresy. 1t was largewarehouse that runs
from Magazine street through to Tchoupi-
toulas, and is not SO far from Canal but what
it can be seen by the passer-by. Conducted
10 tne second STORY OF tnls DulIulhg,
which was strongly guarded even
for those troubled times they saw a scene
that still lives vividly in their memories
This long hall, extending from street to
street, was literally filled with plumber of
the richest material. Silver candelabra, that
gistened even in the subdued light of the
warehouse; golden interior decorations,
dainty articles of vertu silver services, en-
bossed with old-time crests, lay in reckless
profuson upon the 6oor All this properly
was scattered around in almost promiscuous
manner, and without any regard to former
ownership. By going from one pile to an
other her friend was able, after some trou-
ble to identify her belongings which, with
the permit, she was able to carry off. How
these things came there, and what became
of them, the lady was unable to say.

Swapping a Jackass for $40, 900 Lot.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

Henry Clay once owned the lot opposite
the White House, in Washington, and Com

said, you can have him for your lot oppo-

reply, and the animal was shipped off to
Kentucky. The Commodore built the now

inferior Grades of Goods-The Lead Used In
Soldering.

New York Herald.
The manager of one of the largest hacking
houses in Baltimore said to the writer in an
off-hand way: II suppose it is true with re-
gard to all the packers in this city The would
not talk of the trade elsewhere) that they
sometimes in the rush of business--probably
it is on account of the pressure of business
put up goods that they are ashamed of. They
are able to put up the best but they allow
themselves to be pushed into turning out
goods that are really inferior"
DO you mean in regard to the quality of
the material canned or in the manner in
which it is canned?' he was asked.
Both, was the frank reply. They buy
cheap things to can because they are cheap
and they slight the cans in putting them up"
DO they use the handmade or the ma
chine-made cans"' asked tine writer. 1t must
be remembered that the first are inside SOL
dered" and the others are the 'outside SOL
dered."
Both kinds" he answered, but more of
the hand made than the other, as the inside
soldering on the hand work is considered to
give better cana stronger and more reli-
able can than the machines can turn out
There is less percentage of loss in them
You know, of course, that If there is the
smallest possible hole in the can the air will
get in and the goods will be destroyed"
But how about the danger that is said to
exist in the inside soldering?'
Il do not believe it exists The portion of
lead that is exposed to the action of TIE acids
in the fruits, and so forth, that are put in
side, is so inhnitesimally small that do not
believe there is any danger Certainly not
one-thousandth part as much as exists in the
lead pipes that are used in the plumbing of
New York houses through which you draw
your drinking water"
But those lead pipes are known to be ex-
ceedingly dangerous. Drinking the first
water that comes through them in the morn
ing will kill strong man in year."
WELL" said the manager, Il said they
were dangerous But l do not consider the
soldering inside tin can to present any
danger"

Crased by a Cruel Joke.

Paris Correspondence London Telegraph.
There has just died at Charenton man
who has had very curious history. Thirty
years ago the deceased, whose name was
Roussot, was condemned to death at the
Seine Assizes, for the murder of an old gen.
tleman, NJ. Demoury. The case had excited
considerable interest and the court was
crowded with spectators. Among the per-
sons standing Immediately behind Roussot,
who was hanked by pair of gendarmes, was
one Planchat, an employe of the Presse
newspaper, who had somehow contrived to
wriggle himself into that position without
attracting notice Scarcely had the sentence
been pronounced when Planchat,
moved, as he afterward ex-
planned, by an uncomfortable impulse,
passed the side OF his hand over the prison
ers neck III imitation of the keen blade of
the guillotine, at the same time emitting a
whlrring sound. Roussot instantly fell for
ward with shrek of terror, and the by
ISLANDERS, indignant at this heartless and
shocking act, rushed upon Planchat and
roundly abused him. Planchat was subse
quently condemned to two years imprison-
ment, As for his victim, he never recovered
the shock, but remained insane until the day
of his death. He was pardoned by the EN-
peror, and confined, first at Bicetre and after
ward at Chareuton, where he has just ex
pired. The unfortunate man was under the
impression that he had been actually behead-
ed in the Palais de Justice, and when relating
the story was in the habit of initiating the
strange sound that haunted him for thirty

Close Senators.

Indeed, very few Con gressmen "en-
terrain" in the sense In which the term
is used David Davis, who was six
years in the Senate and fifteen years OH
the Supreme bench, always lived at a
second-class hotel here and saved
money on his salary. He is several
times millionaire, and for many years
before he left Washington he had no
family. He was beyond doubt, consid-
ering his great wealth, the closest man
ever in public life. He would dispute
with the woman at the pie-stand in the
hall of the Senate over the price of an
apple. During the last session of his
Presidency of the Senate, however. he
branched out little, and every Satur-
day night gave big dinner at Welck-
ers's. Another very close man In the
Senate was poor, great big, baby
natured, sweet-tempered McCreary, of
Kentucky, now dead. He lived in the
cheapest place he could find in
Georgetown, three or four miles dis
tant from the Capitol, and had pass
on the street-cars. On the occasion OF
late session of the Senate, when the
street-cars had stopped, he would walk
the whole distance at any time between
II o'clock and daybreak, no matter how
the weather was, rather than pay 81
cents for a carriage. For luncheon he
would eat a stick of candy, unless some
one asked him to join in something
more substantial in the Senate restau-
