Ills Honorable.

Instead of disqualifying the col
ored man for field labor, education,
or good school training is tie thing
to prepare him for farm duty. We
regard it as far more honorable fol-
a young colored lady to carry a hoe
in her fathers field than to push
some one elses baby-carriage
through the streets day after day.
Then when her days work is done,
she is free when her company
comes she welcomes them under a
roof where she is at ease, and is
disturbed by door.bells and calls
only to invite her own guests. La
Dor is honorable and healthy, and
proper school training will learn us
to properly appreciate it. The light
of the sun is healthy, and We hope
to see in our day thousands of the
present servant class leave the
kitchen, the nursery, the ho5el and
such places and go to the fields, the
mechanics shops, and all the places
Woodworking, industrious white
people go to work at, is honorable

CINCINNATI, Feb. 15.-At 1 O'Clock
this morning the people in the vicinity
of No so Wilstach street, on the border
of the inundated district in the Wes-
tern part of the city, were startled by a
loud explosion, which broke the glass
in the windows of a three story brick
building occupied by four families,
numbering II persons. The building
was found in ruins from the explosion
of fire damp or sewer gas in the cellar
and all the occupants were buried IN
the debris. A scene of terror followed,
the people thinking the explosion was
caused by the pressure of the water in
the sewer and that other explosions
would follow, fled thinly clad to places
of safety. The fire alarm sounded and
the fire department promptly respond
ed, adding to the general consterna-
ton.

Tins.

pied by William Miller, wife and two
children; the third floor by VIM Han
non, wife and two twin daughters two
years old. By o'clock m, all the &C.
cupants had been taken out. Officer
Macke and wife and the daughter of
Mr. Miller, aged years, are dead. John
and Henry Brown and Peckamann. a
neighbor who was in the house at the
time. are so badly injured they can
hardly recover. Jacob Brown and wife
were rescued after several hours of la
Dor severely, but not fatally hurt.
Their daughters were taken out COM
paratively nnhurt Miller WIS badly
injured. His wife and remaining child
escaped with small injury. Harmon
ami his family were slightly hurt.

cellar to get some lumber, carrying a
candle with them when the explosion
occurred. Adjoining houses were dam
aged.

FACTS.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
suit the time tables OF the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make il beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to Insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change Of
,ars tc Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hEs single change of cars to- iowa,
R.,Ssss, Nebraska, Texas. Minnesota.
u.c. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Its
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this. and in the end may lead
to tie saving of much of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chase tickets before having talk or re-
ceiviug a letter from one Of the B. l. O..
Agents. A letter addressed to W. +.
Reppert, Columbus, Ohio; to T. Lane,
