these cases the things on which the money
may be spent are rigid1y defined.

Mr.. Oliver Johnson, who has done great
deal for the negro, has been considering the
outlook for the race in this country, and he
writes to the New York Enterprise as fol-
lows: hold that the negro of the United
States is not at all likely to emigrate from
the land of his birth in vain hope of placing
himself in more favorable circumstances
than those which surround him here. Those
who indulge the dream that he will betake
himself to some region of the earth where he
can build up nationality of his own color
mistake his character, and are sure to meet
with disappointment. He is here, in the
land of his birth, the land of freedom and
equality, and here he will remain in spite of
the contempt of the vulgar and the persecu-
tion of the proud. I am also certain that, in
proportion as the negro qualities himself by
education and refinement to share the privi-
leges and amenities of cultivated society, he
will find the color of his skin no bar to
these advantages. Gradually but surely the
vulgar "prejudice of color" will fade out or
the hearts and minds of people of culture,
and black skin, no more than red hair or
blue eyes, will be regarded as badge of in
feriority. Nor do I shrink from avowing my
belief that when this day arrives marriages
between blacks and whites, if they do not be-
come common, will be far more frequent
than they are now, without exciting either
wonder or opposition.

LONDON, June 10.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Tomorrow, Sunday, June Goth, Queen
Victoria enters upon the fftieth year of her
reign. 1t was just before the dawn of day
on the Goth of. June, 1887, that William the
Fourth breathed his last at Windsor Castle,
and that the Archbishop of Canterbury, ao-
companied by five lords, started in all haste
to Kensington Palace, the residence at the
time of the Duchess of Keat and her daugk-
ter, already by the law of succession Queen
Victoria 1t was five o'clock in the morning
when they arrived, knocked, rang and
thunped for long time before they could
get an answer. After long delay they were
admitted, but were told that the princess
was asleep and that they would have to wait.
The six old gentlemen were ruffled at the i'm
portance of their mission being SO lightly re-
garded and they peremptorily said that the
princess must be woke up. They were soon
admitted into the presence of a pretty prin-
cess of eighteen in her nightgown. The
ton. The princess was deeply moved and,
kneeling, at once asked the prelate to pray
for her. Such was the first act of Her Ma
iesty's reign. The very next one exhibited
on her part great deal of tact. The wild
owed Queen had sent message to Princess
Victoria to apprise her of William the
Fourth's death The young Queen at oncs
wrote a letter of coincidence to her aunt now
become Queen-dowager. She addressed it to
ssThe Queen of England" "Your Majesty,
YOU are the Queen of England" )" said lady
attendant, on noticing the inscription. "That
is true" replied the royal maiden, "but the
widowed Queen is not to be reminded OF the
fact first by me-" George III. contributed
many thousand pounds towards the worthy
celebration of his jubilee. 1t is rumored
that Queen Victoria is preparing to outdo
that monarch's liberality So as to render the
celebration unique in the history of modern
rejoicings. Nous verrons.

WHY HE NEVER MARRIED.
Mourning In Corea Is a Solemn thing
With Solemn COnse0uences.

win solemn nCOnSeQueneeSs
In walking through the streets of Seoul
one often meets with figures clothed from
head to foot in a grayish yellow sackcloth,
with bright yellow hats, or rather broad
brimmed straw baskets, on their heads; men,
moreover, who further disguise their identity
by holding strip of sackcloth stretched on
pieces of stick in front of their faces. These
are mourners. In the year 1882 Japanese
traveller who landed on the northeast coast
found the officials and all the Inhabitants in
this lugubrious masquerade. They were in
mourning for the Queen, who was supposed
to have been murdered, but who, after the
people had worn sackcloth half a year for
her sake, emerged safe and sound from the
hiding place where she had taken refuge from
the pursuit eff her wicked father-in-law, Tai
on-Kun. For queen it is customary to
mourn twelve months, for parents and near
kinsfolk three years. What deep influence
this prescriptive usage has upon the life of
the people is illustrated by the following
story OF an aged bachelor who was asked
why he had never taken wife: my par
ents. as well as myself" he said, "were
desirous that 1 should marry, and a suitable
Young lady being found our betrothal took
place. Then my future father-in-law died,
and we had, of course, to wait three years.
I had hardly put off my mourning than had
to bewail the loss of my own poor father;
necessarily here was another term of three
years waiting. When these were up the
mother of my future wife took sick and ex-
pirsd, and thus we were obliged to delay our

THE BURIAL OF THE WIRES.

THE BURIAL OF THE WIRES.
The2 electrical Subway commission" of
New York has really done something, and it
begins to look as if the telegraph, telephone
and electric light wires which are SO numer-
GUS and SO annoying in the metropolis would
be buried. In prosecuting its investigations
the commission visited Philadelphia Chicago
and other cities, and after inspecting systems
being experimental with there, and consider
ing nearly hundred schemes submitted to
them by different inventors, resolved on
subway of asphalt or bituminous concrete,
capable of sustaining a crushing force of four
thousand pounds per square inch, with ten
sile strength of not less than three hundred
pounds per square inch of section which will
not crack at 100, soften at 100 or lose its
shape at 200, and that will resist the action
of organic acids and Illuminating gas and of
salt water. The form of the subway is to be
in general that of conduit, with convenient
manholes, where cables and insulated wires
may be readily drawn in and out of district
ducts in the conduit.
1t is understood that the construction of
the subway will be begun very soon, and
that all the companies interested will be COM
PEELED to place their wires in it on the terms
and under the regulations to be established
by the commission, which will control the
subway. The expense of construction will
fall upon the public treasury. The Western
Union telegraph company, through its presi-
dent, DR.. Norvin Green, has protested vigor-
ously against the plan. DIR. Green said that
if the Western Union company had been al
lowed to proceed with it's work of placing
wires underground, all it's wires in the city
would now be hidden from view; but the
company was retarded in it's work by the
creation of the commission. It had system
of its own, and had three tubes, each capable
of holding three hundred wires, constructed
underground as far as Twenty-third street,
and the work would have now been COM
pleted as far as Forty second street but for
company was perfectly capable of taking
care of its own wires, but the legislature
which passed the law concerning the placing
of wires underground evidently thought diff
ferently, and proposed that a construction
company should make a vast sum of money
by caring for the wires.
1t is not probable that the attitude of the
Western Union company will long delay this
important change, which is earnestly de-
manded by the people of New York. 1t is
now pretty well settled that there are great
advantages in having the wires underground
in addition to getting rid of the unsightly
poles and the damage to buildings which go
with the present system.
