= The New York Herald thinks that
q wart is q good thing to have in the
house. Once there was happy home.
The husband went about his business and
felt secure. The wife had big wart on
her cheek, and knowing her ugliness was
satisfied to remain indoors attending to
her duties. In an evil hour q physician
was allowed to remove the wart. No
scar was left, and the'woman Looked into
her mirror and found herself beautiful.
Other people made the same discovery.
The vain little thing no longer busted
herself with the broom and the duster.
Her husbands buttons were allowed 10
drop off in April showers. The deluded
creature promenaded the streets, and
pretty soon it was the old story of "Good-
bye john" She disappeared, and now
there is desolste home.
= The Hon. Jefferson Davis has &C.
cepted an invitation to attend, if practi
cable, the unwilling of the statue of the
late Senator B. H. Hill, at Atlanta, Ga.
Mr.. Davis states that he cannot make an
address on the occasion, as his strength
will not permit, thoug h he admits "both
love and admiration for Georgia's great
son, who, rising with pressure, shone
brightest when weaker natures were
overwhelmed with despair" AS Mr..
Davis is to deliver an address at Mont
gomery, Ala, on the 26th Of April, in
aid of the Confederate soldiers monu-
ment fund, it is expected the unveiiing
exercises at Atlanta will take place
April 2S. The Atlanta Constitution says
a vast crowd of Georgians will welcome
Mr.. Davis, limited only by the capacity
of the trains that run into the city.
= A vessel will leave New York next
week with eighty colored cnigrants for
Liberia. One of the number is pupil
of Lincoln University, near Philadelphia.
Next Fall larger Dumber will be sent, and
during the next four years the American
Colonization Society will spend $4,000
a year in sending quito l,nists. Liberia"
said Secretary Hubbard, of lhe Pennsyl
vania Colonization Society, to an inter-
viewer, "is the most fertile and beautiful
section in West Africa. 1t is no place
for white people however, as the African
fever is fatal TO them. while the negro
will flourish under il. To a negro the
climate is salubrions to white man it
is almost certain death, although plenty
have been able to live there Liberia
has FIVE hundred miles of coast line and
has vast mineral and agricultural resourc-
es. 1t is strange that American capital
lists do Tot make an attempt to work the
mines in Africa, where gold and diamonds
abound. The Liberian Republic has
about million inhabitants, of whom
eighteen thousand are American negroes
and the rest natives. The latter are
being gradually civilized, and the time is
not far distant when u great republic will
exist there"

authorities took the matter up and au-

that the speed can be increased by fur
