Entertainment by the Carroll Institute
Rowing Club.

The first annual musical and dramatic en-
tertainment of the Carroll Institute Rowing
club drew to their hall, corner of Sixth and
F streets, a large and fashionable audience
last night. The programme was q select one,
and introduced several well known amateurs.
An address was made at the opening of the
concert by the president of the rowing club,
in which he stated that tho funds realized
from the concert would be used to purchase a
new shell. After the first portion of the pro-
gramme, consisting of singing recitations,
and readings had been concluded, the laugh
able farce of BOX and Cox" was rendered,
and closed the entertainment,

To he Editor

In the report Of the proceedings before
Senator Shermans committee charged with
the investigation of the Danville, Va. mas
sacre published in your paper this morning,
Congressman John S. Wise is reported as say
ing from the witness stand that ''The negroes
did not claim or desire social attiliation with
white mon because they belonged to the same
political party. Colored members of the legisla-
tnTe came to his house to consult him, but they
always went to the kitchen." 1t is earnestly
hoped and believed that Mr. Wise has been
incorrectly reported, for while it is true that
during an intimate acquaintance with the
colored members of the Virginia general
assembly during the past fifteen years
have seen no particular demand made
for social recognition, it is equally true that

Dense Population of africa.

Africa, says an exchange, is not the
thinly peopled land that America was
before the Latin, the Saxon and the
Celt settled there in millions, but is al
most everywhere thickly inhabited.
We have all heard so much about the
degradation Of the negro that we are
apt to fancy him greatly the inferior
of the 'nObIe red man." In certain
physical characters the negro of the
Soudan and the Hottentot and Bush
man of South Africa are below the
Indian, but the first of these are far
more civilized than any North Ameri-
can Indians save those of Mexico and
Peru; and the great Bantu race to
which the Zulus and the natives of
the Congo and Zambezi basins belong
is composed of finely built and intelll-
gent men. Negro and Bantu alike are
not wild nomads, living poorly on what
the soil affords, as co the SOmall OF
II 4AlIICO, anu ILC bIlOCo VI SiAS
Sahara, as well as a large part of the
natives of the Americas, but are culti-
vators of the soil, living in villages
that are often neat and hOmelike to
look at. The population is even now
more than twice that of the two
Americas, but the country is cursed
with constant war. with domestic
slavery, and with foreign traffic in
slaves The future of Africa is in the
hands of the white races. The natives
are ready to trade, and have products
of value to exchange. All that is
needed to establish with them rela-
tions beneficial alike to white and
black is consistency and fairness in the
treatment of the latter by the former.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1884-07-10

The wife of Senator Harrison, of
Indiana, has decorated eighteen china
dinner plates in novel manner,
which according to a correspondent
was wholly her own idea. On each
she has painted bird of a different
species, and on the bOlGer of the plate
a verse in old English text of poetry,
written by one of the best authors
about that particular kind of a bird.
This not only has the merit of origi-
nality, and so eXcites the interest and
admiration of those who have seen the
plates, but has the further advantage,
as every verse is one which has been
little quoted, of suggesting topics OF
conversation at dinner party when
the plates are used, which is an ines
timable boon on such occasions. Mrs.
Harrison says she was surprised to
find how much good poetry had been
written about birds, which alluded to
or described so many different species.
She says she found verses enough to
serve for another dozen plates entirely
different from those she has finished.
Gone into n Crazy Quilt.
Il tell you they were gorgeous af-
fairs, those silk scarfs and handker-

ried man L cannot afford to replace

"What has become of them?" que
ried the reporter.
81 left them all in my trunk, any
humber of them; neckties and hand
kerchiefs which cost me all the way
from seventy-fve cents to $3.50. But
they have all disappeared, and recent
ly l summoned up courage enough to
speak to my better half about them.
Don't you know she said, that beau
tiful crazy quilt which l am work
ing on? l was out of silk pieces and l
looked up your old trash and cut up
all your scarfs and silk handkerchiefS,
and tell you some of them are lovely
patterns. l knew you wouldn't care
to use them any longer L am now
obliged to hustle aronnd with two or
three black string ties" continued the
sufferer, "and being the head of fam
lily don't believe that l viii ever be
the pOssessOr of any more gorgeous
scarfs and kerchiefS; but l have the
consolation of knowing that in three
or four years from now, if my wife's
patience holds out, l will have the
pleasure of knowing that crazy
quilt is locked up in the bureau to be
exhibited now and then to callers and
tea parties.

said |: "On what principle do you eX-
panG your business ?" Upon the in
crease in the hay crop" said he Hay
is worth, on the average, probably SO
Il ton, and we make, say, 50,000,000
tons of hay per annum." "Heavens!"
said |, that amounts to $500, 100000"
.'Of course it does said the builder;
"but you must recollect that hay IS
probably the second crop of Importance
in this country-corn, l suppose, being
the first. You can always get rid of
your hay, because you can feed it into
beef, and the beef can be exported if
the wheat cannot. My machinery not
only cuts the hay and keeps it turning
after il is cut, so that it can speedily
dry, but it stacks it at the rate of ton
every few minutes, the gathering ma
chine carrying the hay to platform
apparatus up which it is carried and
put in the stack. In some portions Of
this country hay commands only 50 a
ton, but think it will average SO a
ton all around, and there is none too
much of it. New York state leads in
the hay crop, and Pennsylvania comes
next"

Bmttcru,iFk asa Rereragc.

Areporter of the Philadelphia Times.
in reply to inquiries about the prevail
ing summer drinks, learned the follow
ing facts from saloon-keeper:
Several years ago there sprung up
rage for weiss beer, wishy-washy sort
of drink. About fifty Germans went
into the business. You could get a
schooner of it-a tall glass big enough
to bathe in-for five cents. That had
its day; and then came ginger ale and
Apollinaris, ahd after that brown
stouN and "half-and-half." Now
there is strong demand for butter
milk. Yes, it is a queer drink for a
bar-roOm; but it has several recon-
mendations. A man might drink a
barrel of it, if he could, without getting
tipsy. lie wouldn't raise the neigh
borhood shouting and singing. He
wouldn't want to fight all the fellows
in the night car, or beat his wife when
he got home"
But only small proportion of the
production of the GairieS is absorbed
by the bar-roOm trade. On Ridge ave
nue., above Broad street, is the princi
pal distributing depot, where the pro-
duct of the gentle Jersey and Alderney
herds of number of renowned dairy
men is disposed of.
THE demand runs the whole year
round for buttermilk," said an attend
ant at the dairy. I'm the winter time
it is only about one-half what it is now.
If it were very hot now, as it was a
few weeks ago. we would sell 1000
quarts a day. In this sort of weather
we are vending 700 to 500 quarts. 1t
depends altogether on the temperature
to increase the demand and sale. We
have many customers to whom it is
served by the advice of their physi-
clans, who recommend it in cases of
dyspepsia and kidney diseases. We
have several doctors who buy and
drink it lAy the glass themselves. One
physician has sent over twenty custom
ers here, and all have declared them
selves benefited by the beverage.
81 don't think the Irish are the prin-
cipal purchasers. We sell great deal
by the quart, probably about half we
dispose of. The Germans appear to
be becoming better customers than the
Irish, who have always been noted
drinkers of buttermilk. The Germans
find that buttermilk is as good as beer
which it is superseding. Inever ques
toned any of those who bought it by
the glass. but l have heard it well
spoken of as remedy in dyspepsia
and even dysentery."
This healthier taste on the part of
those who crave stimulants is ly no
means a tickle whim of the season, but
has been growing for five years past.
The swinging screen-doOrs of scores of
bar-roOmS are Ornamented with the
legend "Ice-cold buttermilk," and all
day long those who quaff the beverage
pass in and wet their throats and go
decorously out.
