A Nan Who hIortgaged Himself.

GREESvILLE, n. c., March 27.-One
of the most remarkable suits on record
is about to be heard before the Supreme
Court of this State. 1t grows out of
mortgage on his own person made by
white man named John Hando, of Pitt
County, in this State, securing jim
Taker, a cotton planter, for a debt due

Il, John HandO, of the County Of
Pitt, in the State of North Carolina, am

The Negroes Claims.

We clip the following sensible talk
from the Nashville Banner:
The recent convention of the negroes
of this State, which assembled in the
State capitol, was an evidence of their
desire to advance aud elevate themselves
in the social and political scale. This
desire is to be placed to their credit
The white people of the Stale have no
objection to every laudable effort they
make in this direction. Indeed, the
white people of Tennessee have shown
in the plainest possible manner that they
want the negro educated The white
people are paying for their education
from ten TO twenty dollars where they
themselves pay one. There is not prob.
ably one negro in a thnnsand throughout
the State who is not dependent in some
way or another on white people for en-.
ployment, for advice ard for homes.
These are simply facts that no conven.
tiOn can change, no resolution blot out
and no speech controvert. The posses
sion Of the ballot cannot change the fact.
They make great mistakes when they
undertake to compel the white people To
accord them status to which they are
not entitled, either by their intelligence
o. voting power.
In this State. at least, the negro is in
q minority, and will SD continue to the
end Of time. For them, in the face Of
these things, to present an issue of races,
is most absurd. They will, in time, see
aad appreciate the truth. l: il By no
means our purpose to discourage the
praise worthy Efforts of leading negroes
to advance, improve and elevate their
people. But taking the history of man
kind, they should not be surprised that
not in one generation nor in several gen.
erations have any people emerged from
q state of scrvitude aud entire illiteracy
aud become the superiors or the equals
socially or intellectually Of those who
lately controlled them.

To Temperance Men.

An exchange says: Science has es-
tablished a definition OF temperance
In drinking which is of abiding in
terest to all who are now giving their
attention to IL anti-liquor agitation.
There ia an exact limit in drinking
alcoholic liquors the passing of which
places. the drinker in great peril.
One ounce and half of alcohol, &C.
cording to Drs. Austin and Dudre,
who exhaustivelv Investigated the
subject few years ago, is the limit
of the food use Of that substance. To
that extent there does not follow a
particle Of injury to auy
organ or to the bloud.
On this basis six tablespoonfuls
OF brandy, or four small glasses of
port or sherry, or twice as much
claret, hook or Chablis, would be
harmless for a healthy person.
About half that quantity is advan-
tageous for an invalid. An excess
of this amount exact experiments
show, never fails to have irritating,
dlsease-producing effects on the Or
ganie structure of the kidneys,
hardening the tissues of the brain
and iDjuring the liver. Alcohol is,
therefore, food taken In the small
quantity specified; It Is poison taken
In large quantities.
