Fears of the CoIored People.

Washington Special
Whatever its origin, there can be no doubt
that since the success of the Democratic party
has been announced, there is feeling of appre
hension as to the future among the colored PEG
pie in the South. Numerous instances have
been published to illustrate this, but the most
striking confirmation of it is the correspondence
which ex- Ex-senator Bruce of Mississippi, Register
Of the Treasury, found upon his desk this morn
ing upon his arrival from New Orleans.
Il found there" said Mr. Bruce, "a large
number of letters from white employers of col
ored labor in various Southern States The
purport of them all is that there is a grave ap-
prehension that some terrible calamity is to be-
fall the colored men, and that they will be sold
into slavery after Cleveland is inaugurated. The
effect of this apprehension is represented in
these letters as very demorallzing and as likely
to lead at any moment to an exodus or some
similar movement which it would be difficult to
control The letters all conclude with an earn
est request that l should issue an address to the
colOred people notifying them that they are
msled, and that there is no danger of their
being sold back into slavery"
II see by the dispatches this morning. said
Mr.. Bruce, that one poor fellow in Mississippi,
haunted by that idea, committed suicide and to
those who found him, he said before he died,
that he would rather die by his own hand than
to be sold into slavery
Mr.. Bruce said that he should file these letters
with others which he had no doubt that he should
He did not indicate whether or not he would is
sue any address to the colored people, but mod
estly said that he was not to be regarded as a
leader, and that if anything should be done I'M
der such circumstances it ought to be carefully
considered.
This apprehension is not entirely confined to
the ignorant negroes in the South. An aged
coored woman, who has been in the service of
gentleman here, Democrat, for ten years,
came to him yesterday and said that she sup
posed they would all be sold after March T. and
begged him, with tears in her eyes, to buy her
There is no question that great many of the
more ignorant negroes of Washington are
frightened on this subject. The suggestion has
been made to them by many, in joke, that slavery
would be revived. The letters which Mr. Bruce
has received the first striking indications that
such feeling is general. The writer's of these
letters expressed the confidence that this appre
hension would ultimately be removed, but tiney
feared that in the meantime it might do much to
disorganize labor.
Mr., Bruce had not heard of the meeting which
has been called by some of the eolored men of
the district for this week, to decide upon the
policy Of making test case of the attitude of
the new administration toward the colored men,
by proposing that Fred Douglass, Mr.. Bruce
himself, or some of the more prominent of the
colored men now in office shall be retained.

What Would the World Do

Without womanl asks the essayist who starts
out to say something on this oft treated sub
jeet OF course, the human element of the
world would not exist without woman, so the
question is gratuitous. 1t would have been far
more sensible to ask What would the world do
without the salvation of woman, without pana
cea for her physical ills, and a cure for her pecu
liar Diseases In word what would the world
do without DR.. Pierce's 'Favorite Prescription, So
the great remedy for female weaknesses2 1t is
INDISPENSABLE for the ills of womankind.

Those who have tested ensilage now claim
that the use of the slo is unnecessary, and the
following plan is proposed instead Stack the
clover, rye or whatever is used to a desired
height and then put over it tight floor and
afford pressure with heavy weights. 1t is said
that the weight prevents the air entering the
mass the same as if there were walls at the sides
of the stack. Others claim that, while such
method answers for clover or rye, in the case of
corn fodder sufficient pressure could not be Sc
cured to dispense with the side walls

Onions will keep much better in a cold place
than in one too warm, as they sprout into ac-
tivity with the least degree of warmth Should
they become frozen during severe weather do
not handle them, but endeavor to prevent them
from thawing too suddenly when the weather
begins to moderate Do not put them in heaps
but keep them in thin layers and cover them
with straw or some other light material

rather an unhappy time. If they could not raise

bold to assert, that it his necessities, rather
than mis- knowledge of hygiene than induced the
Indiana farmer to under-drain his land. His

NEW ORLEANS. March PA dispatch
from Baton Rouge to the PicdylHe says:
Since daylight this morning II has rained
continuously. The river IS now at the
high-water mark of 1882. The Mulatto-
Point creyasse has been abandoned, and no
further effort will he made to close the
opening. The force at that point will be
distributed among the adjacent weaker
threatened points. West Baton Rouge
suffers TO the extent OF several hun
dred thousand dollars. Much uneasi-
ness is felt concerning the levees in
this section. The rain will doubtless
continue during the night, and the river
will surely advance several inches. The
general impression is that there will be
trouble in this neigbborhood within the
next tweHty-four hours. The general
complaint made Is that pilots run their
boats too near the shore, causing damage
TO the levees. The break at MulattO Point
is now t@o hundred feet wide, and fully
twelve feet deep. Medora levee l. re-
ported gone. Backwater i steadily en-
crOaching upon the front, and there is
now but a narrow strip OF dry land left.

An Outrageous Verdict.


CINCINNATI, OHIO, March 4.-William
Berner. who has been on trial here for the
murder Of William II. Kirk, was this
morning found guilty OF manslaugter. The
verdict was declared privately 10y the judge
who tried the case 10 be an outrage. and
the jury after leaving the courtroom were
hooted at by the crowd. with suggestions
that they should be hanged.
Kirk was killed in his stable by blow
from hammer. robbed OF about 500 in
money, his body put into wagon, hauled
off towards Cummingsville, and dumped
into a mill stream, where it was found two
DAYS later. Joe Palmer and William Ber-
ner confessed that they did the murder for
robbery. When on trial Berner testified
that Palmer did the actual murder while
he only looked on and got share Of the
money. The verdict is universally con-
demned.
