am pleased to be able to speak favorably OF
a fertilizer manufactured BIZ Mr.. Reeves Gait

After careful analysis found it to contain
about the average percentage of phosphoric'
acid and potash of the best high-grade 1ertlll-
considerably higher In this fertilizer, the
price falls several dollars below its comm erclat
value. This is point greatly in its favor.
to be appreciated 1t is a value of SO much per

of the various State Agricultural Experiment
Stations, which made these valuations mas
placed a value of twenty cents per pound upon
ammonia. Now let US take this fertilizer; IL
contains upwards of three per cent, of ammo
MA This would be over sixty pounds to the
ton or value for ammonia alone of more than
twelve dollars per ton. The sum of the value
of the other constituents found in The same
way gives the commercial value.
This fertilizer is in an excellent cond1tlon IOr

THE BAREFOOT BOY.

Blessings on thee. little man,
barefoot boy, with cheek of tan!
With thy turned-up pantaloons.
And thy merry whistling tunes;
With thy red lips, redder still,
Kissed by strawberries from the hill:
With the sunshine on thy face.
Through thy torn brim's jaunty grace;
From my heart give thee joy
/ was once a barefoot boy
Prince thou art-the grown-up man
Only is republican.
Let the million-dollared ride!
Barefoot, trudging at his side.
Thou hast more than he can buy
In the reach of ear and eye
Outward sunshine. inward joy!
Blessings on thee, little boy!
Cheerily then, my little man,
Laugh and live as boyhood can
Though the fiinty stones be hard,
Stubble.speared the new. mown swar !,
Every morn shall lead thee through
Fresh baptlsms of the dew;
Every evening from thy feet
Shall the cool wind kiss the heat;
All too soon those feet must hide
In the prison cell of pride;
Lose the freedom of the sod,
Like colt, for work be shod,
Made to tread the mills of toll,
Up and down the ceaseless moil;
Happily If their track be found
Never on forbidden ground
Happy, If they sink not In
Quick and treacherous sand Of sin;

THE NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY OF VIR-
GINIA.-The New York Times Gnd. Rep)
repudiates the new Republican party of
Virginia. and calls it Mahone's party. The
Times refers to the Senator's antecedents;
states how his party was organized upon
an issue that neither of the national par
ties could espouse, and exposes the nature
of the contract between himself, as Seua-
tor, and the late President, whereby he OBJ
tanned control of the Federal patronage in
this State, and used his power to crush out
the real Republicans of Virginia. In short;
it repudiates the late gathering in Rich
mond, as being, in any manner representa-
tive of the real Republican party of the
country.
And, in this connection it is well to re-
mark upon the notable absence of all the
old and prominent Republicans of Virgin
ia, from the Convention; Lewis, Wickham,
Dezendorf, Patterson, Wilson, and host
of others who were Republicans in those
days when the senior Senator and present
head of his party was said to be employing
tissue ballots in his city; sending out brass
bands to capture colored voters for Billy
Hinton the Democrat in the Petersburg
District; and discharging negroes from the
service of the A. M. & o. Railroad because
they voted for Henry Fl. Wells for Cover
hui. we Say Ludt uUuo VI LILO uueu VIII
antagonized Gen. Malone in politics then,
because they were Republicans, were pres
emit in the late Convention of his party.
On the contrary; from the head of the
party, down, all who were prominent in it,
took what Henry A. Wise once described
as ''the short cut to all the ends Of Repub
icanism," through the intermediate chan
mel of Readjusterism. The chairman of
the Convention was an old Democrat; the
man who reported that interminable plat
form, was the author of the fercest ar
raignment Of s'Scalawags," .. e., native
white Republicans ever published; while
he who received the nomination for the
first office in the gift of the people, favor
ed that burning Indictment against re-
creant Democrats, whom he charged with
being "apostates for the price of their
apostacy." And all of the ticket is made
up of the same material-of the very class
and kind of men that Mr.. Wise character
lied in the terms above quoted.-LyacA

THE TICKET.-The Mahoneites in their
Convention at Richmond on Wednesday
night put up the following ticket to be
knocked down next November
For Governor, John S. Wise-best re-
membered for his sycophantic apostrophe
to Malone, "Master, lead on, I'll follow
thee''; for Lieutenant Governor, H. Gin

to fame, but destined soon to attain some
celebrity by his overwhelming defeat at the
polls At the tail of the ticket comes F. S.

gained some notoriety in times past by a
correspondence with one Leigh WILSON,

10 THE COLORED MEN.-All the cOl0red
people believe in the necessity of repen-
lance, and that restitution is necessary to
repentance. Now, nearly all of them have
been told, and have believed the statement,
that if the Democrats got in power and got
the control of the government, they would
put the negroes back into slavery, and
those|who.did not believe they would suffer,
thought their children would. And they
were told if the Democrats got control
their taxes would be SO much increased
that they could not own anything, and
would not be permitted to vote.
Now, you know this statement was made
to you, and you were urged to oppose the
Democrats, although many of them were,
and had been for years, your best friends.
You went to these Democrats for advice,
for assistance, for help, and you got it.
Now you have seen the State taken out
of Mahone's legislative hands; have seen
the Democrats elect and seat a President;
and you have seen Republicans driven from
revenue and postal offices, and Democrats
take their place; have seen and felt Demo
cratic government and rule, and still your
rights are as safe, your life and liberty as
secure, your property and business as safe
and good as ever before; and the Demo
Gratis just as friendly as ever to you; taxes
no higher; business the same.
You see that the Democrats have been
slandered, that Republican leaders have
spoken falsely; that they deceived you and
made you denounce and vote against some
of your best friends. You see you have
been taking up a false reproach against
your neighbor. The Mahoneites have de-
ceived you-trifed with you Now, what
are you going to do? Are you going into
Mr.. John Wise's kitchen to ask that you
may be permitted to vote for him? Can
you believe this party again after the
trouble and uneasiness it gave you? Will
you longer permit their leaders to make
merchandise of you, to trade on your
votes?
We are inclined to believe that very few
of your race are strong enough to be free
and independent Adrance.
