A Negro Baptism in the Potomac.

AtS:30 o'clock on the morning of the
9th ult, very long bus stood in front
Of little colored Baptist church on the
hill at the head of Fifteenth street,
Washington The candidates on this &C.
casion numbered twenty-siX-four men
and twenty-five women and girls. They
had all prepared themselves for the cere-
mony by arraying themselves in gar
ments of white cloth, flannel being the
material used in most cases. Their heads
were covered by white turbans, leaving
the shining black faces in startling con-
trast. These were crowded into the bus,
filling it to its utmost capacity. The
driver cracked his whip and the four
horses went off at brisk trot. The oc-
cupants of the vehicle started up a devo-
tional hymn, which they all sang in
chorus with great fervor. Behind the
bus in buggy rode the minister and
two deacons, who were to assist him in
the rites. Three or four other vehicles
were filled with friends of the converts,
who had bundles of wraps to throw
around them when they came out of the
water
The place chosen for the baptism is at
The foot of Fourteenth street, not far
Eter O'Clock the procession of vehicles
stopped at the river bank. The white
robed candidates formed by twos and, led
by the minister and the deacons, marched
with slow and solemn tread a couple of
hundred yards to the point for entering
the water. As they marched they sang ::
Come, holy spirit, heavenly dovep'
to a wild, weird melody.
With long pole in his hand to feel his
way, the preacher waded out about
twenty-five feet from the brink, where
the water was waist deep. The men were
taken first. One of the deacons led them
out, two at time. The first to 90 began
Immediately to splash the water with
their hands, muttering shouts and ex
Carnations of Joy. Each in turn took his
place, with hands clasped at the breast,
beside the minister, facing the shore. The
high state of exhilaration manifested by
all, with but two or three exceptions,
seemed to leave little room, however, for
the idea of physical suffering. Not one
OF the females showed the slightest fear
or desire to shrink from the chilling
stream.
Some of the emotional sisters were so
carried away by their feelings that they
were only controlled with great difficulty
and by sheer force. Several times, when
the assisting deacon had three of these
on his hands at once trying to get them
to the shore, the scene was so grotesque
that not even the solemnity of the occa-
sion could prevent smile upon the face
Of the most reyerent spectator. The ex-
cited women threw their arms around
the deacon's neck, sprang up and down,
and spIashed the water in every direc-
ton, shouting and singing at the top OF
their voices. Two or three times it was
necessary for another man to wade out
and assist in bringing them out OF the
water One woman while on her way to
the shore threw herself again into the
water, shouting that she wanted to go
under again. During the exercises the
company on the shore sang the quaint
hymns Of the negroes, and shouted words
OF cheer and encouragement to the con-
VertS as they passed through the water.

North Carolina farmer of Cabarrus

coJ JJcnlv found himself rich the other
SUI 1ly. when he was offered $50 a bushel
G s'r 600 bushels of a sand and gravel
,, ~ on his farm. The dirt was more
rnrroftable at that price than any farm
iI,roJnct he could raise on his land, but he
l Pas ss sharp as old Farmer Rogers, the
Nth NSb Carolina farmer of "Esmeralda, :"
Nv. ND didn't take it. The gravel mound is
"r fnIl of wealth as the dirt pile of
%ctpns' golden dustman, and the latest
;nnroyed machinery is to be put in to
,roTrk 4 cold mine The discovery came
mont in this way. The farmer knew the
,monnd. and knew of an old hole near it
mich had been filled up by the drift of
,oars He wished TO make a dry,
sr9yellv front yard for his house, and
SauIed some carloads of the mound and
snread il before his door. The rains
TTasbed it. and he found among the
grayel nugget of gold that weighed an
ounce. This opened his eyes. He
scraped up the gravel and it PANIED out
sS25 in rough pickings, then he took a
bnshel of the mound, ground it to powder
in a mortar, and 1t yielded Sl25, which
showed his good sense in not taking $50
a bushel for it. Then the oldest inhabi-
tant of Cabarrus, nigh on to 100, sud-
denly recollected a story told him when
boy by his grandfather, about an
Englishman who lived in Raleigh before
the Revolutionary times, digging a pit,
finding pile of gold, and going home to
coin it. The pit was on this very Cabar-
rus farm, and the mound was made from
the diggings. The lucky Englishman
worked the mine in rough, took out the
best yellow chunks, and left the smaller
nuggets and rich dirt for the farmer, and
fine name of this sudden millionaire is
Bob Paul. He will work the mine for all
il is worth, and would not take for the
Englishman's leavings as many $40 gold
pieces as would pave every inch of his
farm

The WatChlllan
CLUBBING LIST.

To accommodate subscribers who desire
to obtain one or more periodicals through
one agency and at reduced rates, we WILL
until further notice, receive subscriptions
for the WATcHMAN and any of the publca-
tious named below at the prices given in the
column headed With WATERMAN" The
terms are cash in advance. The subscrip-
tion price of the WATcHMAN is $500 year
in advance, or $3.50 when not paid within
three months.
The premium business has been greatly
overdone, and is being quite generally dis
carded by publishers of country papers, who
feel that they cannot longer afford to "give
something for nothing lit having proved,
in most instances, a positive loss rather
than substantial gain to them. We will,
however, continue for the present our offer
of the WATcHMAN one year and a set of
family scales for $500
Any person sending us $500 for four
strictly ne,o subscribers will receive copy of
the WATCHMAN free for one year.
Some subscribers have urged us to require
payment in advance from all subscribers
and stop the papers when the time paid for
has expired, unless the subscriptions have
been previously renewed If all subscribers,
or a great majority of fthem, would cooperate
with the publisher in making the proposed
change, it could be easily accomplished
within the next two months. After the
rule of advance payment was once estab-
lished, it would prove much the best for
both subscribers and publisher, and save
much annoyance and trouble in the settle
ment of newspaper accounts. If subscrib.
ers who are now in arrears will pay up, and
all others will renew promptly at the ex-
piration of their present subscriptions, there
will be little difficulty in bringing about a
change from the present system. But unless
the great majority are willing to do this, il
may not be practicable to make the change
