On the first page of this paper we publish
a speech delivered by Rev. q. y. Maston
(colored) at the picnic at Russell's Grove
last Wednesday, in commemoration of the
emancipation of the slaves in the West In
dies in 1884. 1t is excellent reading. and
full of thought, and we commend its teach
colored people have the making of their fut-
ure in their own hands, and all good citizens
will applaud their every tendency upward
and onward.
The CITY Collector is on the war-path. He
ceiyed the Textbook for 1886, three months
ago, and he desires the taxpayers to under
stand that their taxes are now due, and that
he will not call upon them three or four
times before beginning proceedings ut law.
In other words, you must pay your city
taxes without delay, or suffer the conse-
quences - which consequences, the delin-
quents may rest assured will not be pleasant
to them. According to the ordinance, the
Collector may commence suit at once, and
he is compelled to do so within certain
time-which time is now about expired.

ed to a full house at the Academy of Music

Rotations by Little Nina Love, only five

ly or collectively the performance was first
class, and barring the unbecoming conduct
of 4 few st. LOUIS couples Presidents of the
Valley for the summer) who were in attend
