We have just received a pamphlet en-
titled "Commou Sense In Common School.
ing," which embodies the most useful aud
practical suggestions for the education of
the colored race that we have yet seen.
Rev. Alexander Crummell, rector OF ST.
Luke's Church, Of this city, is author OF
the pamphlet, which, in its original form,
appeared as a sermon delivered last month
The text, taken from Proverbs, was "That
the soul should be without knowledge is
not good" aud the speaker proceeded to
examine those forms of knowledge which,
under present conditions, colored people
should desire, and also the branches which
IL would be well to let severely alone.
"Culture," says Mr.. Crummell, sis a
great need, but the greater, wider need OF
the race is industry and practlcallty. We
need especially multitudinous artisans, aud
productive toll, and the grand realILations
Of labor, or otherwise we can never get re-
spect or power In the land. And this leads
me next to the topic, namely, the employ
ments and occupations of industrial life.
Here we encounter one OF the most
formidable difficulties of our civil life in
this country, The state Of things In this
regard is an outrage upon humanity = Aud
protest With all my might against the
mandate Of the trades unions which de-
clare You black people must be content
with servant life p l say that this race of
ours should demand the right to enter every
avenue of enterprise and activity white
men enter. They should cry out, too,
against our exclusion from any of the trades
and businesses Of life. But with all this
remember that no people can all, or even
many OF them, become lawyers, doctors,
ministers, teachers, scholars. No people
can get their living and build them.
selves up by refined style and glitterns
fashion or indulgence in belles-lettres. No
people can live OF OF flowers, nor gain
strength and robustness by devotion to
art"
Such advice isadapted TO men and women
OF every color at the present time, aud the
excellent pamphlet which contains It de-
serves n wide circulation.

The New York World of yesterday men.
tious that "the refusal of Minister Phelps
in London to permit the name Of Thorn
dixie Rice, editor Of the North dmericdn
RericC, to be placed on the list of Amerl.
cans to be presented at the Prince of
Wales's levee, has attracted so much atten.
tion that Mr.. Rice has been persuaded to
give tho correspondence between himself
and the minister to the public. Mr.. Phelps
maintains that as Mr.. Rice was the pub.
Usher Of serious attack on Mr.. Bayard in
his magazine, he as minister could not be
expected to extend to him high official
courtesy. Furthermore, he holds that II he
had shown the Prince of Wales the North
american article criticising Mr.. Bayard the
prince would have refused to receive Mr..
Rice at his levee." The World adds that
"all this is interesting as demonstrating
how far the official power of an administra.
tion may extend in Furnishing those who
maintain the right Of free criticism"
A few words are sufficient on this case:
Mr.. Phelps has placed the administration
on utterly untenable grounds.

The Albany journal, in a recent issue,
mentioned, as an item of local news, that
the municipal court in that city had tried
the case OF Annette Benson VS.. Jane c.
Latimer. The action was for assault, 81 900
being claimed. The plaintiff, described as
pretty, brown-eyed damsel, with chest.
nut bang, and trinity attired, was do
mestic in the family OF Mr.. Charles w.
Little, at Forest Hill, Menands. She is
from Sweden, and has been in this country
four years. Mrs Latimer, the defendant
10 Mr.. Little's housekeeper. Miss Benson
claimed that while she was setting the table
on July 90 she and Mrs. Latimer had some
words about the napkins, and the latter
seized and pressed both hands over her
mouth for period Of over five minutes,
nearly stopping her breath. Mrs. Latimer
aaid che merely reproyed Annette for her
impudence, ana pressed one hand over her
mouth for a minute or so. The jury gave
the plaintiff verdict for $500.
The eagle-eyed editor OF the Nashville
Union saw this fearful story OF a skirmlsh
between housekeeper and a serving maid
whereupon he transferred 1t to his columns
and thereupon remarked
Judging by the following from the Albany
Evening journal Of the 2oth of September
northern philAnthropists would do well to
turn their attention to the treatment OF their
white servants and waste fewer croGo-
die tears over stories ofaleged cruelties prac
ticed toward tho colored race in the south by
their former masters.
Taking the Albany case at It's worst
servant girl gets the prompt intervention
of the law In her behalf In the shape OF a
verdict of three hundred dollars for light
assault innlcting no permanent injury.
That is a fair average sample Of northern
treatment Of servants who go to the courts
for redress OF wrongs.
few months ago numerous party OF
'the best citizensn OF a county in Misss
hppi formed, in martial array, EARNED and
equipped for military duty" and marched
upon a court house where hundred or
more colored men were assembled to at.

reached the "temple Of justice" they
opened fire upon the unolrendiug aud un.
resisting blacks, numbering thirteen Of
their number, mortally woundng sever al
others, and leaving q number mamed for
life.
Not one Of the "best citizens" has been
punished or has had any reason to suspect
that his connection with the massacre was
disapproved by the "best citizens" OF his
state generally.
This, we may safely say, ls fair average
sample OF the treatment Of "the colored
race" "by their former mastersn in more
than one locality.

pany, y loss to that enterprlslng associa-
lion, to his home circle, to his numerous
friends, and to this community.
A sad cause produced this sad result.
Last summer, while at Cape May with his

est daughter, a great favorltc, proved to
him most grlevous shock, the depressing
effect Of which remained with increasing
distress,
The too afrectiouate father and the de-
voted little child were not long separated.

as q correspondent of the New York World

esteem, while personally he was ever the
pride and the 10y of his acquaintances, so
kind and genial were all his ways.
