The Negroes to Own the South.

There is a constant struggle on the
part of the Southern railroad syndicates
to get emigrants to go into the South.
Every attempt that has been made in
this direction fails. There is no place
in this country where money COM
mands so high Il rate of interest as in
the South. | am told that money COM
mands 8, 10 and IL per cent. i'm all the
prominent cities of the South, when it
can be had on call in New York for
or 5. The credit of the South is bad.
Through the reputation of number
of it's states, capitalists have been
frightened away from the most honest,
even, of the Southern communities.
Emigrants from Northern Europe will
not go into q section where they have
to compete with cOlOred labor. 1t is
the belief of many of the colored lead
ers of the South today that they will
ultimately control South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana. This will ultimately be
the black belt of this country. Georgia
is the only one of these states just men,
toned that is at present holding her
own. Her coal and iron fields have
given backing to the establishment
of manufactures, so that this state may
be the last to be surrendered to the
race. This may be the solution to the
race problem so far as the blacks are
concerned. If they control and occupy
six of the extreme Southern states the
whites would probably find room in the
remaining 81. The colored people are
best adapted to the extreme Southern
climate, and are really the only people
who can be depended upon to keep up
and further develOpe it's agricultural
resources.-[ Washington Letter.

A Close Competitor.

A Chicago News man has heard a
good story at the expense of John j.
Ingalls,, the grim, saturnine senator
from Kansas. One of his constituents,
a rOugh-loOking fellow of the cowboy
type, sent in his card to the senator
and seated himself in the marble room
to await the latter's arrival. When In
gals made his appearance, some one
else engaged him in conversation. At
its conclusion he started to re-enter the
chamber, having apparently forgotten
the purpose for which he had quilted
it. At that moment the cowboy seized
him.
.'Be you a senator 2" he inquired.
Ingalls, gently disengaged himself
and answered with unusual dignity: 81
have that honor, sir"
"Do you know old ingalls, of Kan
sas Z" was the next interrOgatOry.
Ingalls, shot piercing look at the
fellow to see if he was in earnest. He
evidently satisfied himself upon that
point, for he answered:
"Oh, yes; we're very well acquaint-
ed.n
By this time quite crowd of sena-
tors and senate employees had gathered
around the two men.
"Well then,n continued the visitor,
81 wish you would tell him 1 am about
tired of waiting for him, and if he does
not hurry out here pretty soon, Pll

make it lively for him when his next
election comes around"
'Do you know Ingalls, 7" inquired
the Kansas senator, with a nonchalant
air.
81 do not" was the response.
"Have you any idea what he looks
like 2"
"No; but Pm told he's as ugly as the
old Nick"
"Do you suppose he is as ugly as
am ~ was ingalls, next interogatory.
"Well, don't know" said the fell
low, with great deliberation, "but ex-
pect you'd crowd him mighty close"
At this point Mr.. Ingalls, made his
escape into the senate chamber, trying
to look responsive to the roars of laugh
ter which followed him.
The constituent has not had his in
terview yet.

fallen, but he eluded pursuit for some
time; wandering in the woods, some
times venturing to farmhouse where
he was not known, to get something to
eat, but uncertain where to go or
what to do. 1t seemed to be public
duty to secure him if possible, and a
large number of citizens turned out in
a body, and making diligent search,
they found him behind heap of rub
bish in the garnet of an old house in
which he had taken refuge. He had
found already that the way of trans
gressOrs is hard. In his haste he had
fallen repeatedly, and bruised his face
and hands; he had suffered terribly
from hunger and cold and when he
was dragged from his hiding place his
whole appearance was so changed that
his own acquaintance would scarcely
believe that this was the young and
handsome lawyer whom they had often
seen before.
His trial came on, and he had no de-
fence to make. He was sentenced to
the state prison for ten years, and with
a gang of felOns was taken from the
county Jail, and transported in chains
to his solitary cell. His heart-brOken
wife returned to her fathers house to
wear out her worse than widOwhOOd,
while he who was the author of her
misery was to drag out his years of
punishment In gloomy prison. He
never lifted up his head after he enter
ed. Now and then an old acquaintance
would be permitted to look upon him,
as he piled his needle, working at a
trade, but he gave no sign of recOgni-
ton. The iron had entered into his
soul. His health sunk under the load
of ignOminy which he felt upon him ;
and after five or six years. imprison-
ment he died a convict felon, in pris
on hospital, far from that young wife
who would have died for him, or with
him. Miserable man! And such an
end! Yet such is the misery, the in
terlinking misery, that crime must
bring. How many hearts are pierced
by that one stingi How many tears,
bitter burning tears, of mingled grief
and shame did that one wicked deed
bring from eyes that else would ever
have been lighted with love and joy |!
1t is always thus with sin. 1t has mis-
cry in it's train. 1t makes all the mis-
cry there is in this world brushes all
the hearts, blasts all the hopes, digs
all the graves, waters them with tears
of anguish, and then stretches itself
into the dread eternity, and kindles
the fires that feed on the soul forever
and ever. Oh, sin, these are thy vic
tories, these are thy stings!

and jury of the falsity of his claim.
And how do you suppose he did it !
Why, simply by knowing that the
colors green and red combined make
black. He procured black card on
which few words were written with
green ink. Then the plaintiff was or
dered to put on pair of spectacles with
two different glasses, the one for the
right eye being red, and the one for
the left eye consisting of ordinary glass.
The card was handed him, and he was
ordered to read the writing on it. This
he did without hesitation and the cheat
was at once exposed.
The sound right eye, fitted with the
red glass, was unable to distinguish
the green writing on the black surface
of the card, while the left eye, which
was claimed to be sightless, was the
one with which the reading had to be
done.-[ Harper's Young People.

The Intelligence of Wasps.

But the greatest display of wasp in
telligence l ever saw manifested was
by a queen in early spring. A little
earthern bird-house was fastened under
the caves in the rear of the house, and
she selected this snug retreat as
fitting place to rear the future colony.
She had commenced work when pair
of bluebirds disputed her right to the

TO make her paper cells, and during her
absences the birds were busily at work
carrying in material for their nest. But
l soon heard them making plaintive
noise. They stood on the edge of the
roof, the female with her mouth full of
straws, and whenever she attempted to
go to the house the wasp would dart
toward her and drive her back. But
this state of affairs could not last long.
The queen must go on with her work,
and no sooner was she gone than the
birds recommended the building, and
were fast filling up the house. And
now this wise queen went to other
queens--who probably had not yet COM

BentOn'S Hair Grower.

All who are BALD, all who are becoming
BALD, all who do not want TO be BALD,
all who are troubled with DANDRUFF, or
ITCHING of the scalp, should use Benton's
Hair Grower. EIGHTY PER CENT of those
using it have grown hair. 1t never fails to
stop the hair from falling. Through sick
ness and fevers the hair sometimes falls off
in a short time, and although the person
may have remained bald for years, if you
use Benton's Hair Grower according to di-
rections you are sure of a growth of hair.
In hundreds of cases we have produced a
good growth of Hair on those who have
been bald and glazed for years. We have
fully substantiated the following facts:
We grow Hair in so cases out of 100, no
matter how long bald.
Unlike other preparations, it contains no
sugar of lead, or vegetable or mineral
poisons.
1t is specific for falling hair, dandruff,
and itching of the scalp.
The hair grower is hair food, and its
composition is almost exactly like the
oil which supplies the hair with its
vitality.
DOUBLE AND TRIPLE STRENGTH.
When the skin is very tough and hard,
and the follicle is apparently effectually
closed, the Single strength will sometimes
fail to reach the papilla in such cases the
Double or Triple strength should be used in
connection with the Single using them al
ternately.
Price, Single strength, S1.O0; Double
strength, $780, Triple strength, $500. If
your druggists have not got it we will send
