To the Colored Voters of Ohio.

Richard 7. Greene, who writes the
sufoined letter, is 8 colored man Of
national reputation and professor in
the Howard University in this city.
In October and November last he
stumped Ohio for the Republican can
didates for Secretary of State Of Ohio,
and for Blame and Logan. The letter
will strongly appeal to the colored vo-
ters in Ohio:
"THE HoN. JOHN GREEN-My Dear
Friend: l thank you for the manly
stand you have taken so early against
the nomination of Foraker. Stick to
it, and rouse the colored vote, which
is grossly insulted by such nomina-
ton. He was deservedly beaten two
years ago and ought to be beaten
worse now. think the colored peo-
pie of this country have eaten political
crow long enough, and if Republicans
do not respect us sufficiently to- pay
some slight pretense toa decent regard
for our feelings, then let them be
taught lesson. I am no stranger to
Ohio politics. l know of dozen good
men, true men, with an army record,
men who are Republicans worthy of
the State and the party, men who
could carry the State. When such
men are sacrificed for men like Fora
ker the negro ought to show that he
has something to say. The Republi-
can party has been counting and in
viting for eight years by its arrant
cowardice, truculency and exaltation
of little men with big ambition, no
heart, and contempt for principles.
The negro is not responsible for its
blunders, timidity or consequent de-
feats. But when the party goes on
adding insult to treachery and cowar-
dice, it is high time for every self-re-
specting negro Throughout the land to
cry halt. | confess | have held some.
slack allegiance since 1877, but l
have smothered my personal feelings
for the sake of the interests of the race,
hoping we should get better and truer
men nominated to carry our banner in
the State and nation. They get
worse. The only way to rebuke time
servers and towards is to whip them.
You have a colored vote sufficient to
do that thing in the October election.
The question of our civil right in this
country is one wherein honest men
may differ as to the expediency of
pushing it, but when once it is
up for action the man who is
against it as an enemy of the
progress and the manhood of
the negro lace in this our native land,
and we must brand him, no matter
what party he hides behind. When !
think of worthy Republicans passed
over by such convention, am dis
gusted, and shall pray earnestly for
a crushing defeat of the Republican
ticket. Very truly yours,
ORCHARD T. GREENE

The New Age of Steel.
idaho City World.I


New discoveries in the production
of steel are Just now creating a revo-
luton in the world Of metal, and steel
are being made at an expense of $3.50
a ton in addition to the cost of pig
iron, whereas bar iron cost $3.50 in
addition to cost of the pig Moreover,
by the new process small articles can
be cast of steel, which will take the
place of malleable iron, at half its cost,
and of better quality To such a de-
gree of perfection has this art been re,
duced that enthusiastic advocates claim
that they can" cast camoric needed
point up" And that is not all: Re-
cent experiments prove that steel can
be cas-: in common foundry cupola. as
readily ss cast iron, which must work
a revolution in foundry practice.
Steel nails are already sold in our
markets, and they are sold for about
twenty-five cents keg less than those
made of iron.
No longer let US boast Of living in
the cage of iron" The "age of steel"
has come, and in few years iron will
have passed out of the market.
Did you ever stop to consider what
a grand thing it is to live in an age so
fraught with great achievements and
marvellous discoveries? If you have,
disabuse your mind, for you are on the
threshold the light is only breaking;
and the next generation will wonder
as much as we at the benighted con-
dit;on Of its predecessor.

a Widows Wit.

A Washington widow who had re-
eeived marked attentions from very
popular and gallant physician found
herself suddenly deserted. Her Escu-
lapius, aged fifty-two years, was COM
pletely enthralled by a beauty of eigh-
teen years, and on Christmas morning
the wedding took place with all due
pomp. Norwood for the widow!
She swallowed it bravely, wore an I'M
daunted front, and was among the first
to offer hurried congratulations to the
happy pair. The conversation turned
upon Christmas gifts, and the bride
said, laughing gayly: ''All my we'd
ding presents were sent just before
Christmas, so on Christmas morning
bad not a single gift . ..Ah! my dear,
that is cruel; you had me, said the
bridegroom, reproachfully. Before the
pretty bride could answer the widows
eyes grew dangerous, and, swinging
slowly her large fan, she murmured:
Surely, my dear Mrs. x, you should
be more than satisfied, for you know
antiquities are all the rage In the
awful silence following, the widow rose,
carefully arranged her iraperies and
bowed her adieu in stately serenity.

1t is customary as means of identifica
ton, as well as for the accumulation of
useless statistics, for the teachers in the
lower grades of our public schools to note
the residences and occupations of the
parents of the new pupils that may come
to them. This inquiry was in progress In
the primary department of one of the
schools at the opening of the year, and had
reached a retiring little chit of a girl who
gave evidence of reluctance to take part in
the ceremony. The teacher gently drew
from her the unwilling story of her age
and where she lived, but when it came to
the question of her fathers business the
adroitness of the teacher was at fault
Don't want to tell, was the most that
could be extracted from the unwilling or
diffident subject
"But you know what your father does
for living, don't you%' the teacher per-
sisted.

inarticulate answer.

A singularly interesting wedding cere-
mony was performed here to-day when
Mr.. James Frederick and Miss Alice Peter,
both deaf mutes, were united in marriage.
The Rev. ]. w. Rocker, assisted by the
Rev. Jobe Turner, mute divine of Vir-
ginia, officiated. The ceremony was read
aloud in English, but very slowly. The
mute divine stood just to the side OF the
officiating minister and facing the couple.
AS each word was pronounced the preach
er traced it on book with his finger, and
the mute divine gave it expression in the
mute language to the contracting couple.
In this way the ceremony was ineligible
to all and very impressive. The bride was
dressed in handsome blue silk costume,
aud wore and carried large bouquets Of
flowers.

A Question Which Every Intelligent

The question: Which is the best

suggest itself to the man who proposes
to turn over new leaf and hereafter
breed only pure-blood stock, and the
answers to his question win usually
vary just in proportion to the number
of breeders of the various breeds be

it would be nearer the truth, al
well as much easier, to answer thaa
they were all best, as to tell him this os
that breed is the best. The rational
way for man TO put this question
would be: Which is the best breed
for nae?'' Putting the question, this
way means that he himself must partly
answer the question. But this is just
what he must do in reference, for IN
stance, to every principle in agricultnrs
which depends for its value on the wis
dom with which it is applied by each
farmer according to his surroundings,
involving means, soil, climate, market,
means of transit, etc. So in the mates
of breed, each must look to whas
viii best suit him and his customers
and bring him the best and surest rea
turn for the keep he has at command.
Too much stress must not be laid On
the past history of any breed. Willis

they are. nevertheless, of little weight
under the changed conditions Of to-day

records as to kind and quantity OF tood
consumed, is what is wanted by the
man who seeks to decide which Il the
best breed for him. As.to what bis CT.
cumstances demand, as we have ALREADY
