Progress Of the Colored Race.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, 26.-An inn
mense assemblage Of negroes gathered
in the st. Johns colored Methodist
Episcopal church on the occasion of
the opening of the first exposition
given by that race, and, as mark of
esteem for Mr.. J. M. Langston, late
Minister to Hayti. Owing to the
length oflthe preliminary excuses, Mr..
Langston was not introduced until a
late hour. He commenced his address
by congratulating the colored people
on the progress which the race had
made since the emancipation procla.
nation. He drew comparison be-
tween slaves that had been liberated
years before those of the American
continent, and said that the American
negroes had advanced more 10 the last
Is years than others had in a long
period Of liberty.
Mr.. Langston said he, was the first
negro on the American continent TO
speak from an ambulance to those of
his own race, who had waged a bitter
war against fearful odds and won.
In conclusion, Mr.. Langston urged
renewed efforts on the part of the
negro to amend to still more exulted
standard.

dropped the other. The populace

said he was an applicant for place in the

wanted me to assist him in the matter.n
"But Manager SCanlon says that Washing

Just as l closed the preceding canto
of this inharmonuos Ode to our dear
friend, Benny returned and is looking
over my shoulder, apologetically, to
read what | have already written; but
best of all, he has brought me some
work of Phineas Owens that shall have
place in this chapter. 1t is in manu-
script, neatly and precisely written, and,
Benny says, has never before been
printed. Poems and Papers" he has
called the little collection and Benny
urges that paste the best Of then. down
here in the order they are numbered.
Benny and l are too full of love for
poor Phlneas now to criticise them,
but they ale SO simple, so manly, prom
ising and earnest, and showing such
progress in scholarship and sincerity of
expression, that they certainly will not
be condemned:

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. 1ELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor.
rble itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
MIR. LELAND has personally used
