THE NEGRO CONVENTION.
Reasons Why the Proposed Meeting Should
Not Be Held.

Vicksburg Herald.
Richard T. Green, Ii. D., the eminent COL
ored orator and scholar, was asked about the
proposed convention of colored men called
to meet in Washington City, September next
Il doubt whether it will be held" he said
But your name is attached to the CALL"
II know it," he replied, 'but it is entirely
unauthorized l did not attend the meetings
OF the committee, because l knew they had no
status among the colored people Of the coun-
try, who are naturally and properly FESTIVE
under direction or dictation from Washing
ton, especially when the motive is in doubt.
Men who have rarely shown interest in our
race outside Of retaining themselves in office,
are not the stuff to make real leaders out of.
l am opposed to conventions. They do
harm rather than good In them we gather
our most turbulent elements. Washington,
too, is the worst place to hold convention.
Why not Richmond or Nashville? We have
our rights under the law. We are free; have
citizenship; have education or educational
advantages, and some degree of civil rights.
what more do these men want? More office;
office that is ALL Some of these men remind
me OF the Fenian element among the Irish
men who retard Ireland's progress. They
have been dancing about, fourishing shilla-
labs, so long, that they believe the old meth
cd still effective. Some of our men are run
mad over the notion that this country is to
be run to furnish offices on the race quota,
and because we were once wards of the ma
ton, we are to be forever under guardian
ship. l believe in standing up for my rights
when assailed, and demanding all that be-
longs to me as an American citizen, but no
more. If the negro could get rid of his
black leaders, and his white philantrophists
by profession, who follow him from the era
die to the grave. he might, in time, develop
into useful citizen. His real progress has
been constantly thwarted by these two ad-
verse factors Conventions!' said the Pro-
lessor, Indignantly, there never was one
that did not disgrace the race by their wrang
lings, We need some common sense. not
conventions"

A NOVEL TEST.
Attempt to Locate County Line with a
Bucket of Water.


Louisville Courier-J ournal.
On the trial of the motion to dismiss Irvine
Tucker, charged with the murder of his
brother George, for want of jurisdiction, the
Lebanon Police court heard the testimony of
seventeen witnesses in behalf of the Com
monwealth and four on the side of the de-
PENDANT In the neighborhood where the
killing occurred, the dividing line between
Marion and Taylor counties runs along the
crest of Muldroughs hill, which forms the
watershed between the waters of Salt river
on the north and Green river on the south.
The test of the location of the line, as
generally accepted, is the direction in
which the water flows; if toward the
north, so as ultimately to reach
Salt river, any given spot is in Marion
county; If toward the south, so as TO reach
Green river, the place is in Taylor. Both sides
accepted this test, and fought it out on this
line. The seventeen witnesses for the Com
monwealth had no doubt whatever that
water would flow north from the spot where
George Tucker was killed. The four wit
nesses for the defense not only had no doubt
that it would flow south, but they reinforced
themselves by an actual test. Day before
yesterday they had gone to the scene of the
killing and taken bucket of water with
them. A wagon road runs along the summit
of the hill, and George Tucker had been
found lying dead with his head in the mid
die OF this road and his feet toward the
south. Defendants witnesses testified that
they poured out the water at the spot where
Georges head had lain; that it flowed south
till it reached the rut on the south side of
the road, whence it flowed to the west till
the ground drank it up. The test was, there
fore, rather inconclusive and the court
decided that from the preponderance of the
evidence the killing was in Marion county.

A STRANGE CASE.


in His Stomach.
Carson (Nev.l Appeal
A few weeks ago there called on one of the
local physicians logger from Marietta &,
Folsom's wood camp at Crystal Bay, Lake
Tahoe, who is affi cted with one of the
strangest maladies that ever puzzled physi-
clan. The mans name is Richard Anderson
He complained of curious pains in his
stomach, accompanied by circulating itch
ings, which rendered sleep impossible. The
doctor was at a loss to know what to cali the
malady, until he finally administered pow
erful emetic, and to his establishment discov-
cred that the unfortunate man had in his
stomach bugs known as the cimex lex tularius,
whose bites were driving him to distraction.
After three days of repeated emetics he was
cured, and went back to work. 1t appears
