THE RACE PROBLEM BOILED
DOWN.

''In answer to a verbal onslaught
upon the colored race in general
by one Rev. DR.. Tucker of jack
son, Miss, ex-senator Bruce of
this city, has published a letter in
which there is one passage that
tells the whole story so we'll that
no more is needed to be said.
"But after ALL" says Mr.. Bruce,
"the negro is not mystery, and
there is nothing mysterious or in-
comprehensive in his character,
condition or progress. He is SIM
! ly man-cruGe, it may be, a
few centuries back, bnt now, un-
der the influence of of free institu-
tiuns and the powerful elevating
force of a Christian civilization, he
is multiplying, prosperlng, and
improving as the vigorous plant

ing more can be said of the race
problem and the things lacking
and to be supplied will be found
by this people, as they have been
found by other races Of the great
American republic, through dill

and hopeful toll. > World and

The Federal soldiers horse being thus
left at liberty crowded against that Of the
confederate, and, believing his game was
already in hand, he laid his shotgun down
across his saddle to receive the arms of his
captive. Hardly had he done this before
the Federal soldier saw his opportunity,
and, throwing his left hand quickly under
the cover of his cape, struck the muzzle
of the shotgun and knocked it to the
ground and with the same movement
caught the Confederate by his long, flowing
hair pulled his head upon his breast, whip
ped his revolver from its pouch, placed it
against his body and fired. The hammer
of the revolver caught in the fold of the
long cape which hung from the Confeder-
ate's shoulders and did not explode. He
drew 1T back, raised the hammer again, and
made another attempt te secure the Con-
federate. This time it got between his
body and arm, and although it did not
miss fire, the Confederate was uniniured

Scientific Farming Practical.

Mr.. BuckmaSter, before welI-attended
meeting of farmers, held at Tadley, IN Eng
land. to consider a scheme for teaching the
science of farming, said that there was no
opinion more deeply ingralned IN the MIND
of the English farmer, than the belief thaI
there was some antagOnlSnl between SCI
encc and practice. Some even went so far
a4 to say that the two are Incompatible.
The farmer who drains his land, or tries q
new manure, or q new machine, or new
,rop, calls himself a practical man; he de-
spises all experiment, and laughs at the
teaching of scientific men. He is not con-
ci)us that, when he Is thinking over new
plans and adopting new m ethOds of Cult1-
yation, he may be illustrating, in his daily
work, series of chemical and physiolOgi-
cal experiments of extreme complexitv
md Importance. Men of the highest Or
order of intellect, and whose researches
were the most original, have been practical
men. Practice and theory are but phases
of the same form of thought. The practi-
cal farmer, it he ever permits his mind to
rise above the traditions and empirical
rules of his forefathers, and asks, Couldn't
this have been done in better and more
perfect way would not this be an improve
Went?' becomes theorist and, when he
tries to realize these conceptions, becomes
y practical man.
Theory and practice are inseparable in
every art, however much men may seek to
disunite them. The most practical man is
often the most theoretical. Every opera
ton is, with him, a theory. He recognizes
no change. He will admit of no trial or
experiment, because that would be an ac-
acknowledgement of science. Every science
is built up of principles, and these princi-
| pies carried into work VIC call practice.
There is the science of astronomy, and the
art of navigation; the science of geometry,
and the art of land measuring; the science
of mechanics, and the art of making ma
| chinery; the science OF chemistry, and the
art of agriculture. Almost every science
is the basis of cOgnate art. The most
obvious and natural way Of arriving at a
real knowledge of the art of agriculture,
would be to know something of those prin-
ciples on which the art is based; art being
nothing more than the application of prin-
| ciples previously acquired. A farmer who
is able to unite perfect mastery of princi-
pies with knowledge of practical details
| is an educated and scientific farmer 1t
might reasonably be inferred that the short
est and easiest method of learning any in
dustrial art, and the surest guide to new
discoveries in the art, would be knOwl-
edge of those fundamental principles upon
which art was based. No amount of prac-
tical skill and experience could ever re-
place the want OF scientific knowledge In
farmlng.-C Cincinnati Grange Bulletin.

The executive committee of the re-
union, held meeting, pursuant to call,
at the Court House, last Friday evening
The meeting was of rather an airy ma
ture at first, the main breezes being in
duced by the shadow of broomstick,
which cast its ghostly form athwart the
scene. Finally, the committee settled
down to business, and voted appropria-
tons to the committee on grounds, to
the committee on music and to the COM
mittee on decoration, other committees
being previously provided for. The
matter of renting stands was re-consid-
cred, and the whole business transferred
to the hands of the committee on
grounds. 1t was further provided that
| in consideration of the Methodist church
society furnishing meals, at twenty-five
cents, they should be allowed ground to
erect stand, rent free. The question
of caring for invited guests and others,
was brought up, and the chairman was
instructed to select committee of three,
whose duty it should be to canvass the
town and see what accommodations
could be made for the lodging, at least,
of those who would remain over night,
on either or both nights of the reunion.
The matter of camp-ground was again
taken up, and after short discussion it
was decided to take advantage of the
offer of Mr.. Henry Horstman, and lay
out the camp on his lot back of his new
hotel, and in the road north of it. The
committee then adjourned till Tuesday
evening.
