teal training of negro children has been
almost entirely neglected since the war.
As a consequence, skilled Colored labor
ers and servants are disappearing. Where
one colored youth can succeed as a
preacher, ;eacher or politician, a thou
sand can elevate themselves, and be-
come compa. atively independent, as
skilled end reliable laborers, cooks,
house servants, etc. The young colored
people need manual as well as mental
training, and their moral development
especially should be looked after, for
after all, it is moral character that more
than anything else elevates a race or
people in the scale of civilization and in
fluence.
1t is unfortunately true that the colored
people are not making as rapid advances
morally as they are intellectually. There
is, with many of them, little regard for
punctuality aud responsibility, and there
exists also general incompetency even in
the simplest pursuits. Intelligent and
influential colored men, who have the
permanent good and true interests of
their race at heart, ought to appreciate
the facts herein set forth, and do all in
their power to bring about more hopeful

DIR. Gorham has discovered that the light
reflected from green leaves consists chiefly of
red and green rays, and 10y ascertaininG the
proportions of these colorS reflected from
leaves, and taking a revolving ring with the
like proportions of color on it, he has been
able to mix these colors rs 1t were in the eye
and reproduce the tint of the leaves. He
found during the inquiry, however, that the
simple colorS did not exactly reproduce the
color of the leaf required, but that certain
admixture of black was necessary TO this end.
Black, it may be remarked, is well known to
exist in the cellular structure of leaves in the
form of carbon 1t is deposited there, as is
believed, from the absorption of carbonic
acid gas from the atmosphere by the stomata

tive chill. He thought che would die
very soon, but prepared some brandy
and ammonia to inject hyperdermicaily
for temporary relief. When he returned
to the patient she was pulseless, her
heart had ceased beating, she was dead.
As an experiment, he says, with no ex-
pectation of the results which followed,
he inserted the syringe directly over the
heart and pressed it slowly until he
thought it touched that organ, and in
jected the brandy and ammonia. Very
soon the heart began beating feebly, be-

at last accounts the woman was getting

The Jones County Calf Case

The famous Jones county calf case
has just been disposed of by the Supreme
Court of Iowa. This is one of the most
remarkable cases on the records of Amer
lean courts, and furnishes a striking
illustration of what an expensive luxury
little satisfaction obtained in legal form
may prove TO be. Twelve years ago a
Green county farmer went to Jones
county and bought some calves of man
named johnson. They were probably
stolen, but Johnson claimed TO have
bought them from a third party. John
son YVES prosecuted by the Anti-HoISe
Thief Associa Il N, but was ACCOUNTS ed.
He sued for $4,000 damages, and the
case has been tried five times, and each
time, except one, he has received a YER
dict for from So, 600 to 81. 500, which was
always set aside. He appealed to the
Supreme Court, and the verdict has been
reversed, giving him no damage. The
court costs P~e now So, 800, while the
other expenses Oh both sides amount to
at least 100000, ard several persons have
been ruined by the expenses of the case.
