Rapid Growth OF the Colored Race in
this Country.

Rapid Growth of the Colored Race in
this Country.
NEW York, June 5th.-According to the
showing made by the Secretary OF the
Freedrneu's Aid Society, the colored race is
increasing rapidly in this country. Twenty
years ago, at the close of the war, there
were in the Southern States $4,000 col
ored people, and now there are more than
1000 600. Then there were in Mississippi
22O 600 negroes: now 650000. Then there
were in South Carolina 400, coo; now more
than 800, 600. Five hundred colored babies
are born in the United States every day.
The colored population OF the United
States doubles every twenty years; the
white population only once in thlrty-tlve
wears Eight years Will not have passed
before the negroes Will be in q numerical
majority in several more Southern States.
At the present rate of increase, in 1888 there
will be 376,000,000 white people in the
United States, and 224,000000 colored peO-
pie. The day is not far distant when II
will be a physical impossibihty to continue
the present practical disfranchisement OF
the COlored man of the Southern States. In
South Carolina he has bought and paid Tor
! 90 COO acres OF land which he cultvates.
! In the South he pays taxes on fJl, ,OcO,OGU
| of property. He is editing, printing and
publishing LOG newspapers, and yet IUo0,-

read or write.

At the Horse auction.

Shortly after the close of the civil
war large number of army horses
which were afflicted with the various
diseases peculiar to the equliRne
race were disposed of at auction in a
West Virginia town, the prices OF
many of them being merely nominal,
ranging from a few cents 20 one OF
two dollars per head. On one occa-
sion Colonel NJ, typical old Nlr,
ginia gentleman, who had a slight
impediment in his voice, attended
the sale, and humorously persisted
in bidding on a wind broken, ring
boned, spawned animal which had
barely managed to escape the bone
yard, until, much to his chargin, II
was "knocked down to him at thir
ty-seven and half cents. Not hay
ing the exact change, the colonel
handed out a dollar bill
~ can't change this, colonel said
the auctioneer. Haven't you any
thing smaller !"
The colonel carefully scrutlnized
his purse, thrust his hands into his
pockets, and finding no amount less
than a dollar, replied: "No, sab ;
nothing s-s-s-s.smaller, sab. But
since I've begun to t-t-t-think about
it, it makes no d-d,d-ditference, sab.
just keep it, and I'll take the whole
dollar out in h-hh-hosses, sah."

Nine TaiLers, Not TdilOrs.

"Nine tailors make a man." is a
saying which has come down from
very early days. A correspondent
of the New York San says the word
is tailers, not tailors. and it's use
arose from an old custom. When a
person died the church bell tolled
once for every year the deceased one
had lived. But nobody could tell Ivy
this the sex of the dear departed, so
the sexton, to help the public curios-
ity, after ringing in the usual way
the number of years, came to give
eight quick strokes if the deceased
was a woman and nine if it was a
man. These strokes, being rung al
the end of the strokes for the years,
were called "tailers," and the saying
"Nine tailers make man. came in
to use.

A VALUABLE FIND. The count of mon
les and valuable securities in the U. S.
Treasury is now complete with exception
of the contents of the reserve vault.
Treasurer Jordan says the count is practi
cally over and that everything has been
found in the most satisfactory condition.
The only discrepancy is two cents missing
from five dollar package of pennies in
the east room. Yesterday a heavy square
box wrapped in red tape and securely
bound was found in an out of the way
nook of the vault. The box had been
there many years and been almost forgot
ten. 1t was forced open and was found to
contain bottle of diamonds, bottle Of
pearls, bottle Of Ottar roses and Jumps of
gold. One Of the older employees identified
these as articles presented to President
Munroe about the year 1923 by the Jap
anese government, and which had been
stored in the treasury pending passage of
an act of Congress to authorize their &C
ceptance. Congress failed to legislate on
the subject and the articles we're deposited
in the treasury where they have remained
ever since.

Counting Money BY WetOht.

A curious scene was enacted re-
Gently in one one subterranean vaults
of the Treasury Department, re-
minding one of smugglers or pirates
in their caves or misers counting
their boarded gains. The feeble
glimmer OF two or three gas jets
permitted a glimpse OF hundreds of
small sacks bullying out with wealth,
while beneath one of the dim jets
were three men seated around COM
mon pair of scales OH low wooden
stand. From the interior of the
vaulta negro messenger brought out
the little sacks one by one, each sack
with the figures 81, 900 marked upon
it in large black letters. AS it was
laid upon the scales, one of the gen
tlemen made q mark upon its tag,
another looked intently at its weight
and the third kept tally. Then the
bag was borne away into the dark
ness OF the vault again.
The money of the government
was being counted, as is usual on a
change Of Treasurers, and the work
had commenced in the ''silver vault"
under the supervision of the co nit
tee recently appointed. In the vault
are stored away nearly nine million
standard silver dollars and about
ESQ, 600 in fractional silver. The
dollars are kept in sacks holding
Just q Thousand, and as each sack
weighs fifty-nine pounds and quar-.
