 In the current number of the North American Revie,o, Fred Donglass has a paper on the Future of the Colored Race" The article is able, but it tells nothing of the negro's future. It is like poem that contains no poetry.
 In writing the obituary of man ninety-nine years old, an Arkansaw editor, wishing to employ classical quotation, said "Those whom the gods love die young" He did not realize the misapplication of the quotation until the next day when great-grandson of the deceased came around and played on his head with hickory club
 The negroes who live in the Missis- sippi bottoms are happy. In conse- quence of the overflow government ration boat will soon make the rounds. An old negro, writing to his son, says: "Come on back down heah in de bot tom. Whuts de us en workin when de guberment is willin' ter feed yer. De water rig six inches yistidy an we'se lookin' out fur CT fine time. Fetch CT little whisky wid yer ter mix wid de bread an meat Oh, tells yer dat we'll be flyin' putty soon"
 Michael Strogoff," spectacular play which is now causing the country to groan, may be a fine affair, but still there is lack of appropriateness about it. It is necessary, in the play, to have Russian army, yet We do not believe that the Russian army can be appropri- ately represented by two tramps and a lame negro; and again, well equipped army should not be armed with two rusty muskets and a horse pistol There is something grand about military band, yet military band should consist of something more than battered tuba, a split fagolet, complaining flute, and an ill-used bass drum. We have no desire toinjure the prospects of the " Strogoff"' company, for we acknowledge that its scenery is good-for lighting fires, Somehow, though we do not believe that a great city can be properly represented by a few smears of paint and glimmer of light shining through hole. Seri- ously speaking, it would be well for people who desire entertainment to shun Mike Golf" as they would shun char ity ball. Recently, while the troupe was in Little Rock, some of the actors became involved in quarrel, just before the curtain went up. They seized the guns of the army, but the guns were found to be worthless. It is pity that the sol diers had not been better armed

DOWN THE STREAM.
ELLEN W. CAREY.

A maiden stood upon shore.
And heard a lightIy-dipping oar.
The morning light was flushing clear,
A trush was loudly warblingnear.
A boat came. gliding down the stream,
With ripple soft and splash and gleam'
She ne'er had seen the youth before,
lie ne'cr had touched upon that shore;
But when she saw him up the stream,
Fresh from the mountain S early CLEAN.
The old, old wonder working spell
Around them both like magic fell.
And ere his boat had drlfted by
a change came over wood and sky
The old, familiar stream and shore
Took on u hue unknown before.
He lightly drew his boat to land,
He lightly reached TO her his hand.
And, Ivavjn" all that they had known,
The two went down the stream alone.
The boatman's arm was good and strong
The boAtman's car was tough and long
The mai'lcn's face was sweet and fair
She felt no funniest fear or care.
She smiled npon her bnatman true,
And said. II trust my life to you.
TIL, thrush sang on the bank alone
The maiden down the s'rran had gone

THE ALDERMANIc "saUEAL."

Ever since the New York Alder
men, in 1884, granted for nothing
franchise for a street railway on
Broadway that could have been sold
for 100000, the people have been
convinced that a majority of the
Board were guilty of receiving brides
to a very considerable amount. A
number of efforts, more or less earn

bring the guilt home to the men who
had virtually stolen this four mil

feed only to demonstrate more
conclusively than ever, but in the
same wholesale way, that the agents
of the railway had, in fact, bought

them. Several Of them were frigh-

was made ont against no one of
them, SO carefully and cleyerly had
all their tracks been covered up. and

Physicians Have Found out

That a communicating and foreign element in
the blood, developed by indigestion, is the
cause of rheumatism. This settles upon the
sensitive sub-cutaneous covering of the mus
cles and lgaments of the joints, causing con-
slant and shifting pain, and aggregating as a
calcareous, chalky deposit which produces
stiffness and distortion of the joints. No fact,
which experience has demonstrated in regard
to Hostetters Stomach Bitters, has stronger
evidence to support than this, namely, that
this medicine of comprehensive uses checks
the formidable and atrocious disease, nor is 1t
less positively established that it is preferable
to the posons often used to arrest 1t, since the
medicine contains only salutary ingredients.
1t is also signal remedy for malarial fevers
constipation, dyspepsia, kidney and bladder
debility and other disorders. See
that you get the genuine.

POETRY.
EVENING.
BY MILTON T. ADKINS.


The crescent moon in the western sky,
Watches the blush of the twilight die
While, one by one, with their twinkling
light,
The stars come forth to welcome the
night.
On his rustic porch the farmer sits,
While the whippowil around him fits,
Smoking his pipe, well pleased to hear
The nightgale's song in the thicket near.
His children have sought their welcome
bed,
A mothers blessing on each tired head.
To DEAN of joys, of woe, of sorrow,
To grieve for to-day, to hope for to-mor-
row.
Near him lies, companion of yore
His faithful wife is lulling to rest,
With gentle song, the babe at her breast:
And the grandsire. in the evening air,
Bates to the breeze his silvery hair,
Leans on his staff. and dreams of the past,
When youth s hot blood in his veins beat
fast;
Shoulders his staff, and thinks it gun.
And shows in his dreams = how fields
were won.o
Oh. welcome the quiet even tide,
To those who know not the pomp ofpride;
Who gladly rise with the morning light,
And ply their task till the shades of
night
No regrets at the close of the day,
Ter time misspent or idled away.
Happy are we. if this evening of life,
Shall be as quiet and free from strife
If the shades of death shall gently fall,
Shrouding us all in his gloomy pail
None of life to regret, to repent,
No tears to shed Ser life misspent.

gins to dry, and rub off the collars
and saddle pieces with a moist
cloth. This willprevent sore should
ers. All changes Of food should be
gradual, but in proportion to the
work. Heavily taxed muscles make
demands on the stomach; hence, in
crease the feed after work begins
never in anticipation. A horse fed
up before he is called to work gets
soft and fat. Be careful to protect
horses from drafts when warm rub
down, blanket, or let them stand in
close stables. Cows at calving need
little care, the less the better If in
loose box or the open field. "Fuss-
ing" over them is always provoca-
ton of injury. Give no grain, but
loosening diet of bran and roots for
some days, and gradually increase
feed as feverish symptoms pass away.
Keep calves growing thriftily; skim
milk with little linseed meal scald-
ed and added to it as substitute for
the cream, is just as good for them
as whole milk fed from the pail.
Sheep must be kept in dry yards OF
there will be danger of their feet.
Ewes with lambs should have grain
daily, at least until they come to
pasture. Swine.-Those who buy
young pigs for feeding should bny
none but halfbloods by a Berkshire,
Yorkshire, Poland or other pure sire.
They grow faster and fatten with less
feed. Poultry.-Reduce the stock of
fowls as soon as this years batch is
well provided for, but hold unto old
turkeys and old geese, they get used
to the ways of the farm and are
worth much more as breeders than
young ones. Ducks also are good till
three years old. A turkey is in her
prime at five, and a goose at twenty.
