The amount due the principal above last
years appropriation, and the repair, have been
paid by the rent of rooms in the dormitory.
The whole work done at this institution for the
colored people and our country, we hope will
not be curtailed for the want of pecuniary help.
We therefore ask an appropriation OF $1,000.

The report Of the Principal of the Institute
was also read to the meeting
The report of the committee was satisfactory
to the meeting and lthe committee OF last year
was continued for the present year, and their
request for an appropriation went to the com
mittee on finance.
The trustees of the George Sturgls Fund
presented their second annual report as fol-
lows:
The Investment of the fund is the same as at
the last report, and the funds are in safe keep
ing at Providence. Sixteen students in the
fall term and IS in the Spring term received
assistance from this noble gift
The principal cause why 80 few were in the
normal class during the fall term may be found
in the fact that young men and women had
made engagements to teach district schools,
and to the prevalence OF small pox in some sec
tons of the Southern States near Marysville
As the colored people In East Tennessee are
not numerous, the school depends for students
largely on other places; and when il is more
widely known that students intending to fit
themselves for teachers will be- literally helped
it is believed that the fall term win be more
fully attended.
The financial statement showed the receipts
for the year as 81 ,5S4.9S, and the expenditures
as S924.75, leaving balance of $660.2S.

States have Disseminated against the blacks
in legislation. This is done coyertly in most
cases. but is done ali the same. And in the
administration of the laws, the hardships
thrown upon the blacks are both notorious
and scandalous. Doctor Redfield showed by
the inspection of court and prison records in
several of the Southern States that negroes
were imprisoned under long sentences for
the most trivial offenses. In one case ten
years was given for the larceny of only two
dollars; in an other case forty years for
stealing third-rate mule, and that hundreds
were incarcerated for simple misdemanors,
so that Beauregard's statement in the face
of these facts, loses all its force. Offenses that
the courts ignore in white men are rigidly
prosecuted against the negro. Colonel
Bowelesvisoeratah can shoot his man and go
acquit, but Sambo steals ham and gets
life sentence. It comes with exceedingly
bad grace from man who has lived most of
his life upon the fruits of the patient toll of
the black man to make such statements

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Senor Gcdny, Chillau

the Mexican legation, Paris, announcing the
ratification of the treaty of peace between Chill
and Peru. His advices state that General lyle
sias, who signed the treaty on behalf of Peru, ia
acknowledged in the whole of northern and
central Peru. The terms OF the treaty include
the cession to Chill for ten years, of the prov
inces OF Tarapaca, Araca and Taena Provision

thereafter belong shall be submitted to the pop.

that the treaty provides for the occupation by
Chill of the ceded territory during the ten years
covered by the terms of the cession, and
III all probability the Chilian army OF
occupation now in Lima will remain there until
the Peruvian government is fully organized and
order entirely restored. Senior GOdoy states
that terms of the treaty were dictated by the
representative at Lima, and forwarded to Gen.
eral Iglesias in northern Peru. Having been
signed by him, the treaty was returned TO Lima
and from there sent to Santiago de Chill, where
1t Was ratified by the Gillian government, which

THE mystery about how cells propagate is
solved, according to u reporter of the West Ches-
ter, Pa. Record. He claims to have found out
that cells raise their young much as other fish,
generally laying their eggs on an old bit of tim
Der, and further, that having found some of these
on stick of rotton wood, he Matched them out
by keeping them in moderately warm water for
several days, and fed the little ones on melted
talow or oil until they were big enough to take
care of themselves. The same authority says:
"Thls spring, John F. Ingram. one of West Ches-
ter's famous fishermen, caught eel in
which there was well-develOped roe,
the fish being apparently nearly ready to
spawn. He said that it was the first time in his
experience that he had ever seen such thing,
and there are many fisherman who never have"
Scientists heretofore have been divided on this
point, some maintaining that no organs of repro
duotiOn could be discovered about the eel, while
others mildly maintained that some traces of roe
had been found. According to this Pennsylvania
expert, the theory that cells go into an adjoining
township to rear their young is apocry pha, and
must be abandoned. What science needs most
nowadays is a well-equipped corps of newspaper
reporters. Nature will be turned inside out by
them, and made to reveal all her occult mys-
teries,

A WASHINGTON correspondent says; "Col
George Butler the Governors nephew, has
returned from his winter campaign as wagon
master at General Terry's Montana head
quarters. He thinks the latter is a great fail
ure as q commander and predicts further
trouble with the Indians in that section. He
expects to try his fortunes in Mexico this
fall" As Colonel Butler made his entrance
into Terry's headquarters in an advanced
stage of intoxication, and spent most of his
time while there in the guard-house it is
hardly necessary to inquire what the General
thinks of him.

And the SATURDAY, Herald, OF ems city, saws:

Ex-JUsTICE LEONARD claims to have found
in the Flushing Asylum for the Insane one Bar
rett H. Vanaucken whom he regards as perfect
~ sane and he has, therefore, sued out writ
of habeas corpus to secure his release. The pa
tient is retired merchant sixty-two years of
age. and worth about $1,Oo0.oOO. For fifteen
years he has been an inmate of tine asylum. Mr..
Leonard visited the institution in the interest OF
another patient and in a long conversation be-
came convinced that Vanaucken was sane, and
simply matter OF humanity seeks to secure
his release, Vanaucken was regularly committed,
and there seems TO have been no advantage taken
of him. 1t may be, therefore, that Leonard
is mistaken; that he came upon the man in a
lucid interval commO to lunatcs, and that
Vanaucken's insanity NAV again develop itself.

JACOB MERIwIsKY, a Polander, Of course,
came to this country only two months ago. He
concluded to go into the saloon business, and
selected Centraa, Pa, as the place, as there
were a number of his fellOw-countrymen living
there. He could not read nor write English, so
with faith wholly foreign to the climate OF
Pennsylvania, he had his customers enter up
charges against themselves. The result was
worse than powder-mIlI explosion. Last week
he had bills made out against his numerous cred
itors, and all the prominent business men of the
place favored with an account
from Polish Jake and polite request
to call and settle. Many who were
thus honored were highly indignant, they
had never been in the saloon and not often near
1t. But as the secret of the trick leaked out,
indignation gave way to amusement. An in
vestigation of the books showed that Jake's
customers had employed the names of great
men with prodigality peculiar to the western
hemisphere. 1t was found that Henry Ward
Beecher owes $42; John Is. Cough, $35; Roscoe
ConKling, $780, Freddy Gebhard, sly; Mrs. Lang
try; $50. and Mace and slade, $40 The sheriff
closed out the saloon Immediately The loss to

idea for Mr.. Meriwisky to take lessons of the

THE Journal is neither a "bull" nor
"bear," and its columns cannot knowingly be
used for the purpose of putting down prices
or running them up TO the benefit of specu-
lators and grain gamblers. We have printed
the news as to the condition of the crops,
gathered by careful and impartial men, from
which tits very evident that the wheat crop
will be considerably less than an average,
while the corn crop is still a matter for flu
ture development. Other crops are fairly
good, so far as the present prospects indicate.
The staple crops will not be so large this
year as last, nor as they were in 1881 but
there is no probability of famine, and no
one but reckless spectators are interested
in creating a feeling that will warrant a
fictitious price for breadstufIs Conceding all
that is necessary as to the shortness in wheat
and the doubt as to corn, the fact still re-
mains, taking all the the crops together and
the country by and large that there is little
or no occasion for uneasiness or for a belief
that the solid, substantial, legitimate bust
ness of the country will seriously suffer.
