EMANCIPATION SPEECH.
A synopsis OF Rev. Mack Henson's
Address.

The Rev. Mack Henson's speech at the
Springs yesterday on the occasion of the
Emancipation celebration was an able
discourse and impressed his auditors,
many of whom were white. The sub
stance of the address was IA follows:
The Grafton was entitled why we cele-
bratc the 10th ofJune In each year, and
the speaker" In answer to a supposed In
quiry from the young ones OF their race
as to the reason of the festivities said,
we tell them that 20 years ago the major
ity Of the men you h ave seen march with
high steps through the streets OF the city
to-day were permitted to make their
first step out into the broad American
Republic Ms freemen. Your mothers
and sisters, together with four millions
of their kinsmen, wept their thanks to
the God OF nations Tor their Liberation
from the damnation OF slavery. We
have met here to-day to put ourselves on
record by giving expressions Of our pro-
found gratitude of what has been
pressed on his auditors that their duty
as American citizens consisted in being
as good and useful citizens MS any other
class. 1--WE have no time" said the
speaker to waste In the practlcing of the
low vices of older races who have and
are suffering untold misery tor their
folly, but let us emulate the noble con-
duet of the virtuOus of all races In their
habits of industry, thrift and frugality.
We are not to shrink from any duty ne
cessary to reach the summit of human
elevation on account of being n few
shades darker than millions of our fell
low citizens. In writing the proolama-
ton of Emancipation, MIR. Lincoln, the
greatest Of our mighty dead whose MEM
DRY Is as gentle ms the summer air when
reapers sing amid gathered sheaves,
copied with the pen what Grant, our
great Captain and his brave comrades
wrote with their swords; we claim there
fore the protection of this Government,
no difference which party sits at the
helm. MIR. Henson then touched elo-
quently on the progress in education,
comparing the present status Of the negro
intellectually 10 ~ years ago. Speaking
OF the political creed of the colored race
he said:
ain politics the colored American
citizens of the country are in sentiments
Republican. lie has ever since Eman-
cipation voted that ticket for reasons
Obvious to all not blinded by prejudice.
He has found his most reliable friends
within the ranks Of that party. lie has
found ii TO be the party for equal rights
to all, and that he owes it n debt Of graft
tude never to be paid. lie can never
hold out his ballot TO the highest bidder.
The ballot is the most formidable
weapon placed into his hand as u means
of protection against every foe, foreign
or domestic, AID that weapon was
placed. in his hand by the Republican
party. Another strong point the speaker
wished to enforce ON his auditors was.
that the race needs leaders, who will
neither touch, taste, handle or put to
the lips oftheir n%eighbors the accursed
cup of drink lie concluded his address
by reading statistics of intemperance in
this country and England, that were APP
palling to their numbers

A Good Beginning.

The Southern Manufacturing COM
pany, which is located on South Flores
street, opened business yesterday. and
already they had 2S orders in to be filled
this morning. They had to send n tele-
graph order this morning for 100 gross
more small bottles for their blulng. The
prospects of this home enterprise is
very flattering, and is deserving, as their
goods have no superior. The time is
not far distant when the "Only Genu-
Inc Southern Baking Powder and the
southern Liquid Bluing' will have the
same hold on the people Of this section
that the Lone Star and the City beer
has on the beer drinker. They will have
no other.

Even agreeable people can easily de-
generate into bores. Tom Moore was a
charming singer of his own songs, but no
one could persuade him to sing more than
two at one time He. was the pet of fash
ionable society and would fit about of
an evening from party to party, always
importuned to sing, and always willing
to crafty others in this way; but he had
no idea of stepping over the line and al
lowing asingle persont to be annoyed. Two
songs would be agreeable Three or more
might cause him to be voted bore, and
at the piano so he always resigned his seat
when every one wished him to remain.
If other people and especially If poll
ticians would act on the same principle
If the young man, who drops int neigh
bors once or twice week and stays three
hours, thus making himself terror to a
well-ordered household, would only limit
his calls to thirty minutesl One of these
who extended his call we'll toward mid
night, was quietly asked by his hostess
if he would remain to breakfast? He
was sensible fellow and took the hint
in good part, learning lesson which al
ways helped TO make him welcome
guest.

off his coat.
Coat and cash were put in the hands of

the street into blacksmith shop, and
picking up hammer and cold-chisel he
delibertely cut link. The crowd stood
around like so many pumpkins at coun-

the locality of the body to which it IS
applied, is coming into active use. The
swelling on General Grant 3 tongue. which
it was feared might De cancerous, has
been greatly reduced by the use OF this
new remedy. A physician of Vienna,

BILE nervous prostration which has always
followed the abandonment of these slim
ulants is prevented by hypodermic In.
jections of cocaine chloride. A cure is
effected in ten days. The trouble about
this newest discovery is that, as soon as
it is known, people, assured that they.
can be cured when they get too bad,
will become reckless in the use of opium
and liquor. The drug, however, is very
expensive, and those tempted to dissi-

bad habits they will have none left to
spend for the cure.
