THE TWILIGHT CLUB.
A Protest Against the Formal Dinner
Club--what the Members DO and Say.

A Protest Against the Formal Dinner
Ciub-what the Members Do and Say.
[Croffut In Detroit Free Press.
What Sorosis is to women, the Twilight
club is to men, protest against the formal
club where dinners are eaten in swallow-tail
coats and only certain coterie can obtain
admission. The Twilight comes within an
inch of being no club at all; and yet, in
some particulars. it comes just about as near
being the best club in the city. 1t has no
president, no constitution, no bylaws, no
members, no club-room, no fees, no dues, no
claw hammer apparel But it has weekly
meetings around the tables in a downtown
restaurant, in the twelfth story of the Mills
building, on Wall street, where fair din
ner is served for 81 plate.
Any respectable man can be invited who
wishes to be, and will hint the fact to Secre-
tary Wingate, who exercises mild despot-
ism; and any man who attends and pays
his 81 for his dinner, is ex-officio a member
"for this occasion only" Three-quarters Of
the gentlemen present are usually good talk
ers, and when the twilight dinner is over
they make the tables ring. Generally some
specific topic is thrown out in advance, and
this Is often suggested by the poiltical situa-
ton of the hour, or some pending conun-
drum in church or state. War, religion,
education or industry are handled
without gloves and with breezy freedom.
All professions are represented, and many
crafts; and the members come and sit down
at the table in the clothes they have worn in
the business Of the day.
One of the best meetings was that which
tried to answer, by individual confessions,
the question "How did you earn your first
dollar" One witness said that the first
money he earned was when as q sailor boy
he hired out for S2U to stay as hostage
with the savages of Sumatra, to be killed il
the ship didn't come back. The last meet
ing discussed the playful question, "Ought
Preaching to be Abolished by Laws" on the
occasion of bidding goodbye to Rev. Mr.
Pullman, cheerful Twilighter, about tc
start on his travels.

EDUCATION In THE SOUTH.

An appeal has been issued by an asso,
citation of white and colored teachers in
the south which should command ready
and generous response in the north. They
ask not tor money, but for books of all
sorts and especially for school books.
Secretary Turner declares that in many
parts of Mississippi and other states the
teachers are reduced to the extremity of
instructing their negro pupils in the al
phabet by means of slips cut from news
papers, while for lack of states or black
boards the ciphering exercises are
wrought out with pointed stick in the
dust plats around the school house This
is palpably pursuit of knowledge under
difficulties. Mississippi is in worse
plight than any of her neighbors, not only
because of her large colOred population,
but also because her pro rata of the Pea
body fund was withdrawn from her on
account of her repudiated state bonds
held by Mr. Peabody at the time of his
death. Tons upon stons of educational
text books, Sunday school books
and other useful volumes only
slightly worn go to waste year
ly in our large cities. Why may not
few local committees be organized to
receive and forward such of these books
as can be spared or to take charge of such
new ones as benevolent people will con-
tribute when they know the facts? One
gentleman in San Jose, Cal. /, sent 5000
volumes two years ago to the Mississippi
teachers, the railroads transported them
free of cost. and thSgift was productive
Of far reaching benefits. Here is signi,
ficant extract from Secretary Browns let
ter:
Our society is composed of men of the
best talent, many of them former slaves
holders, and all of them thoroughly con-
WINGED that there is but one way of Sc
curing permanent prosperity to the form
er slaveholding states, and that is by
educating the colored race All the mems
bers of our society are teachers, except
the treasurer, and he is banker, and
thoroughly identified in sympathy with
the movement
Professor Dempser, of Mississippi col,
lege is president, and James Williams,
cashier of the Chickasaw Bank, Okolona,
Miss, is treasurer of the society. The
professors and advanced teachers hold q
normal term throughout July and August
for the purpose of training capable teach,
ers, and they are extending their move
ment into neighboring states. Through
these teachers the donated books are dis
tributed. Somebody may be tempted to
ask why the southern states, which have
the heaviest stake In this matter, do not
themselves come to the rescue. They
are doing all that their resources will
warrant, many of them actually paying a
heavier tax than the wealthiest commu,
mites in the north. But they cannot du-
plicate in decade or two the extensive
system of free schools which we have
built up in the steady progress of more
than acentury. Moreover, they have an
incomparably larger volume of illiteracy
to contend against. Let US encourage
the teachers by sending them the elemen.
tary text books SO urgently needed.
