AN INTERESTING LETTER.
Atlanta's Schools. Pleasant Recol-
lection OF Huntsville,
WEST POINT, GA, Aug. z.

NEST POINT, GA, Aug. 4.
am again at the little village Of West
Point after months travel carrying me
over vast portion of our great territory;
having left here by way of the Atlantic Il
West Point r. R., Jaly 7th for the "Gate
City" as my first stopping place. Atlanta
is great center for commerce and educa-
ton. Situated here are three large colored
colleges; Atlanta University, with over 400
students the last session; the Storris High
Sthoc, and The Baptist Seminary, engaged
in the great work Of preparing young men
of that denomination for the ministry
Besides these, Atlanta is blessed With four
large city schools and great many pri-
Yates ones Beautifully located on a hill
overlooking the city two miles South OF
the capitol are two large three story build
ings. This is Clark University, the best
school in the South Cannon Hall Will
be ready tor Occupancy in October next.
| fed form of Gothic Architecture, built Of
brick with stone trimmings, looking mag
nifcent with its four stories reared from a
solid foundation 10 by 50 feet. One
third of its cost s25, 600 was tie benefcient
gift of Mr.. Cannon, after whom the Hall
is named, to perpetuate his nobility and
generosity to all future generations. The
rest of the cost was raised by Bishop War
ren. This school is supported by the NJ
Z. Church.
The 10th found me leaving Atlanta on
the new road, the E. L. V. & Ga, eli route
for Chattanooga through section of the
country which is growing prosperous by
the benefits of this great road. What a
wonderful fund of reflection for the mind
as We sped along over this road drawn by
car wheels made Of paper. with air brakes
capable of stopping coach within its own
length l felt like substituting for the old
familiar words: "What man has done,
man may do" What man has not done.
he can do"
Passing through Chattanooga 1 only had
time to observe that the city had made
a wonderful progress within the last theee
years, and that business there is flourish
ing.
was pleased at last to land on the 18Th
in Huntsville, one of the best and most
beautiful cities of Alabama, where once |
delighted in enjoying the hospitality Of
the people for two years as Pastor of Lake
side III. Z. Church. and where everywhere
among both white and black the stranger
meets hearty welcome. My recent visit
proved that my friends of the old years
past remain steadfast. This city is also
now noted as the publication place Of the
Huntsville GAZETTE one of the leading col
ored journals of the Union, published to
protect and promote the rights and inter
ests of the people. am only sorry of one
thing about it, and that is that IL Hunts
Vile GAZETTE is rot in the house OF everv
family in Alabama.
After leaving Huntsville went TO Phil
adelphia, Penn, via of Cincinnti. where
spent one week with old friends before :
turning here the lovely little village Of

The boxing match between the
champion slugger Sullivan and Slade
at New York Monday, was a much
more remuneratise and innocent af-
fair than the Kentucky election. The
New Workers paid $4,000 to see
Sullivan bru tally pummel Slade un-
til he was half unconscious and cried
enough. Kentucky will pay more
dearly in the end for the brutal wolk
of the Democracy which not content
with piling up huge majority had
to kill two-Negroes at Bryantsville
II Sullivan only could have "knock
out" the Democratic party instead Of
Slade the people would never have

the day and prices were advanced mate

creased and prices gradually receded to
the inside range. Foreign adVices were
rather unfavorable. Pork was quoted Is
lower. while lard was about Sd higher.
Eastern markets were steadier and prices
little more favorable to holders. The
shipping demand was only fair, and orders
chiefly for moderate quantities. Receipts
of products were comparative light, and
the shipments were liberal of ell kinds.
The market for mess pork attracted con-
siderable attention, and trading was active
on speculative account. Offerings were
rather free particularly during the latter
part of the session. The shipping in
quiry was moderate. The market opened
stronger and prices advanced 15@20c on
the whole range. Later the feeling was
weaker ard prices receded 20@25c, and
closed rather tame.
A good business was reported in the
lard market, but considerable

Paratively light. At the stock yards there
was decidedly active market fo- cattle of

and steady, several buyers not being able to
supply their wants, especially for feeding
at the d1stilleries. The market was firm
with the pens well cleared. The receipts

A more active market for hogs than the
one to-day has not been observed for some

early and continued until the pens were

grades were firm and shade higher. The
