The Preservation of Negro Dia.
1ect HYMNS.

An old colored woman of Atlanta wa.
asked how their dialect hymns were
brought into existence. She answered
"Well, I reckon de spirit was crowd
in an dey jess had to come out"
A good definition of inspiration, was
1t not?
Among the more intelligent negroes
1 find strange disposition to eschew
these wonderful slave songs. The young
men and women of Atlanta University
seem to share, in measure, this slight
ly contemptous estimation of the old
melodies. 1 suppose it is because their
awakening intelligence associates them
with the degradation of their race,
and they have not the penetration to
see that these wonderful hymns embody
the very genius of their people.
Another fact makes it hard to gather
together reliable collection; the va
rious hymns are sung differently in diff
ferent localities, so that frequently two
versions of the same piece would hardly
be recognized as akin. This was the
inevitable result of the illiteracy of the
negro, whereby both words and music
were unwritten for 50 long time.
1t is matter of regret to me that in
most of the Southern city colored
churches an effort has been made to dis
card these plantation melodies, except

Artemus Ward on Foreigners.

From the San Francisco Ingleside
recollect witty remark of Artemns
Wards at dinner party, when he visit
ed this city, toward the end of the war.
Among the guests at the table was an
Eaglish lady of pronounced Southern
sympathies. Artemus WARRIOR, as
he was better known to his friends,
Charley Brown-was in the middle of a
long TRADE against the enemies of the
Union, for he was a loyal Northerner.
Especially bitter was he against "those
foreigners, for what he termed their
cowardly conduct toward the Union.
AS he waved more vehement the Eng
hsh lady grew redder and redder, and
her fellow guests glanced mischievous-
ly in her direction. Suddenly Artemus
stopped short. He realized that some
thing was no. exactly right. CHANGING
suspiciously at the English lady he
strove to discern her nationality. He
realized that she was not an American.
Then, with that exquisite refinement
d'esprit which stamped his character,
he leaned over and said, apologetically
Mrs. s. when I-er-spoke-er-of
foreigners-I was referring-only to-
to-negroes. and Chinese"

Precious Stones and Their Quail.
ties.

George F. Kuntz the gem expert Of
Tiffany & Co., and one of the most skill
full young mineralogists in the country,
says: As worn, gems are of two forms,
afew have the cabochon or rounded
shape, such as carbuncles and sometimes
saphires and rubies; all others are cut
like the diamond.
Diamonds, according to the forms in
which they are polished, are known as
brilliants, rose diamonds or table cut.
The former is much the better method
for showing the light of the gem, and
it is In this shape that ninety-n1ne per
cent. of the diamonds are worn. Gems
of this class have thirty-two facets.
Jean Baptiste Tavernier, the great dia-
mond merchant and traveller off the
seventeenth century, saw and described
most of the now famous gems of Europe
and Asia. The Grand Mogul spoken of
by him is,however, supposed to be ficti-
tlous. The Regent, weighing 1876 carats
and valued at IL, 900, 900 francs, is the
finest known diamond in the world. |
The Koh-i-noor weighs 1924 carats, |
but is "bad form" One hundred mill |
ions of dollars is invested in diamond |
mines and machinery. The stealing done
there would cause New York burglar
to blush for his calling. Stolen dia-
monds worth 500, 900 were bought by
one firm in four months, and without
having the figures in the case venture
to estimate the amount stolen every
month at$1 900, 000.-New York Trib-

John Hubbard of Waterloo.
From the London Times.

From the London Times.
A correspondent writes to us from
Firth: There died here last Tuesday
morning an old man in his ninety-sev-
enth year, named John Hubbard, whose
biography may be interesting to many
of our readers. At the age of % he was
working on farm at Yexham, Market
Dereham, Norfolk, when he received the
sum of IS guineas for enlisting in the
West Norfolk militia. Twoyears after
ward he enlisted in the Twenty-third
Royal Welsh Fusilers for seven years,
and was shipped for the Peninsula,
whore he landed at Passay. A few DAYS
after landing the regiment was paraded
to supply 100 volunteers for the forlorn
hope at the storming of st. Sebastian,
Aug, 81, 1918. Hubbard was one of
the 100, and he had the good fortune to
escape unhurt. After being sent to
England as one of the guard in charge
of prisoners he returned to the PENN
sula, where he found his regiment in
the Pyrenees. He took part in the bat
ties there, and was also engaged at Or
thes, Toulouse, and Waterloo. As he
was only a seven-year man and was
never wounded he had no pension until
the royal warrant of March IL, 1874, en-
titled him to Is. Sd. day."

Attorney General Garland.

Washington letter: Attorney Gen.
eral Garland is a total abstainer from
stimulants. He was asked one day how
it happened that he, coming as he did
from apart of the country where liquor
was believed to be used as commonly as
coffee, was teetotoler:
well, it was this way: I used to
drink as regularly and as frequently as
any one, but one day some years ago
/ was walking through our cemetery at
Little Rock, and saw the grave of one
very bright man who would have been
my age, and then 1 saw another, and
another, until I suddenly realized that
almost all the young men with whom I
began life had gone and I almost alone
was left, and knew what had carried
them away. Well, as I had been
spared, it occurred to me that 1 had GER
tainly had my share of alcohol, 30
made up my mind that 1 wouldn't
drink any one else'e share; that
wouldn't be fair. So l just stopped
right then and there"

The New Orleans Creole.

Blakely Hall in San Francisco Argonaut
The Creole element here is exclusive
in the extreme. 1t has vigorous con
tempt for the American element of the
city, and am informed by very old
resident here that there are many deni-
zens OF the French quarter who have
never crossed Canal street. They are
content to live and die in one place, and
desire no fame outside of their own
neighborhood. In that respect they are
like the Par1sians they 30 abjectly adore.
Who has not heard rhapsodical de-
scriptions of the Creole girl given by
hard breathing AMI thick Tipped en-
thusiasts-her vulumptuous figure,
heavy-lidded and languishing eyes, dark
hair and olive and oval face, which she
carries about in please-some- one-love-
me expression? Don't dream about her
any more. Come and see her. Look
at her as she slouches out of a doorway
in calico wrapper, the pattern and
color of which long ago ceased to be OBJ
vious, and drags herself along to the
adjoining house to gossip with another
beauty. Mark how the heels of her slip
pers have been vigorously run down"
till there Is no after section at all to speak
of and then follow the squat figure up to
the head. The face is always an interest
ing one, but seldom beautiful. Almost
invariably the mouth is large and the
teeth prominent, but the chin is dim
pied and small. The cheekbones are
high, the eyes dark and the skin is
coarse and greasy, often covered with |
ill-laid streaks of powder. She is clev-
or, though, when she talks, and often
very bright, and she has the same idea
Of honor that her lack-adaisical sister
mas on the other side of town. In this
respect the girls of New Orleans are all
llike-they will never brook familiarity
rom comparative stranger and their
treet manners are severe and proper
n the highest degree. Once the ice is
broken, however, they rush to finish
t headlong speed. To men to whom
hey have not been properly introduced
hey are ice; to the men they know they

The Foss il's Tale,

Washington Letter to the Pittsburg Times.
One of the old fossils about the De
partment of State, who, from outside
appearances, looks as if he might have
received his appointment during Jeffer-
sons Secretaryship, says that within the
last few years more preachers have APP
piled for Consulates than ever before.
They are especially anxious to secure
Consulships at the present time. "If I
were President" the old fossil continu-
ed, II would treat all such applicants as
jackson once treated preacher who
applied to him for a foreign appoint
ment."
Whats your profession ?" Jackson
asked of the minister.
. preacher" the latter replied.
"Then, said the President, 'you hold
better appointment than I can give
you"
The preacher" my informant con-
tinued, Cooked at jackson for a mo-
ment, turned upon his heel and left the
room. He made no more applications
for foreign appointments"
Some very queer letters come to the
State Department from individuals who
aspire to go abroad. One ambitious
but honest Democrat desires foreign
mission. He says: 81 can speak five
languages auently and indiscriminate-
ly."

Story Of = Smart American Dog

/ 1lom Inc spectator.
| One summer afternoon q group o.
children were playing at the end of {
pier which projects into Lake Ontario
near Kingston, New York, q. s. A.
The proverbial careless child of the
| party made the proverbial backward
step of the pier into the water. None
of his companions could save him, and
their cries had brought no one from
the shore, when, just as he was sinking
for the third time, superb Newfound-
land dog rushed down the pier into the
water, and pulled the boy out. Those
OF the children who did not accompany
the boy home took the dog to a confec-
toners on the shore, and fed him with
as great variety of cakes and other
sweets as he would eat. So far the
story is of course, only typical of scores
of well known cases. The individual
ity of this case is left for the sequel.
The next afternoon, the same group
OF children were playing at the same
place, when the canine hero of the day
before came trotting down to them
with the most friendly wags and mods.
There being no occasion this time for
supplying him with del1cacies, the chill
dren only stroked and patted him.
The dog however, had not come out OF
pure sociability. A child IN the water
and cakes and candy stood to him in
the close and obvious relation of cause
and effect, and if this relation was not
clear to the children, he resolved to
impress it upon them. Whatch1ng his
chance, he crept up behind the child
who was standing nearest to the edge OF |
the pier, gave sudden push, which
sent him into the water, than sprang in
after him, and gravely brought him to
The shore.
To those of us who have had high
respect for the disinterestedness of dogs,
his story may give proof that the devel-
'pment of the intelligence, at the ex-
oense of the moral nature, is by NO
means exclusively human.

The Treating" Custom.

The American system of treating" in
barrooms and other places where strong
drinks are sold, has been made mis-
demeanor by law in Nevada. The anti
treating law makes Setting 'em up" pun
ishable by fine and imprisonment, eth
er or both. 1t is made water tight,
and therefore liquor-tight, and would
require ingenuity to evade it, which
when possessed can be employed to
better advantage than in law breaking.
The first section of the act makes it
unlawful to treat or be treated, and fix
es the penalty for its infraction. The
other sections constitute any attempt
ed evasion of the law greater offence
than its open violation and attach still
more severe penalties for practising Chi
canery or subterfuge. The fines when
collected go to the school fund of the
county in which the offence is commit
ted and conviction had. 6 This Nevada
law is founded on the principle that
treating is a vice, rather than that
drinking is a .pernicious habit. Liquor
selling is Licensed, and therefore law
fdl. A man may 60 into saloon and
buy and pay for all the liquor he wants
to drink himself, but he is not per-
mitted to pay for his friends tipple.
The theory is that under this regula-
lion man will drink no more than he
wants, and in nearly all cases will go
put sober, whereas a party of ten or a
lozen drinking after they treat all |
'round often have more than they can
larry. The law covers all kinds of dis
lied spirits, wines, malt beverages and
wen takes in cider. Lemonade, soda
nd settler are exempt from its provi-
ions, but to pay for another mans ice
Vater would be regarded as chicanery
nd subterfuge.
