NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that Fred.
Douglas. says he and his white wife were
invited to all of President Cleveland's grand
receptions" he deplores the Presidents
election, and, In recent speech he made at
Boston, he said that Blaine's bloody shirt
speech, delivered after his defeat, should
have been made earlier, and that its text
should be- made the keynote of the next
campaign, and repeated his denuncatlon
of the United States Supreme Court for its
decision that the 14th amendment to the
Constitution applied only to States and not
to individuals. The fact that Fred has rem
dered himself liable to the penitentiary IN
the Southern States by marrying white
woman has not tended to abate his hostility
to this section, and if the bloody shirt be
not the flag of the republicans in their next
national campaign it wont be his fault.

The African Race.

We recently met witha well-known
colored porter of Pullman car, who
runs from Atlanta 10 New York. His
name il Augustus il. Grant, ond he
lives at No. $50 Hayne Street, At
lanta, Ga. He said; II would like
TO publish for the benefit OF consnmp-
tives and for the comfort Of their
friends, how / have been rescued
from consumptive's grave. know
that many people think the colored
people do not have consumption, but
III know from experience that it is a
great mistake Seven years ago be-
came n subject Of this forlorn disease,
and was so pronounced by my ply
sicians. My lungs became badly af-
fected, my cough was awful, at times
almost shaking me to pieces My
general health broke down and so de-
clined that / became helpless and re-
dnced in flesh almost to shadow.
Terrible night sweats; no appetite
or Digestion; more and more pain in
nv lungs. suffered more and more;
my cough became exceedingly ex-
haustiye, discharging great quantities
of pus and consumptive matter L
had in the meantime the best treat
ment; some of the best physicians
prescribed for me, and became inter
ested in my case. But after two or
three years treatment, finding that
/ continued to grow worse, they one
by one abandoned the case until at
lust they were NIL agreed that it was
only question of time with me, and
the time was thought to be very
short. In this condition, with one
foot rs it were in the grave, and
making my preparations to go through
the dark waters of death, one OF my
physicians mentioned to me remedy
which might be tried rs n last resort,
His reasoning was that consumption
being nothing more than ulcers on the
lungs. why is it that remedy which
will cure IN ulcer on the body will
not cure ulcers on the lungs2 AT
his suggestion 1 procured a bottle of
Swift's Specific and began to take it.
I felt SO much benefited from the
first bottle that persevered in the
use of it, and my improvement was
almost as rapid as it WAS wonderful.
My appetite came back to me, my di-
gestion was good, my strength was
rapidly regained, my lungs healed
over nicely, my cough left me grad
unlly, and went to work with new
lease on life. For the last four or
five months I have not lost q days
wages nor felt q symptom of that
terrible disease that had brought me
so near the brink Of the grave. My
physician three months ago pro
nounced me sound and well-not a
trace of lung trouble. He today,
July 10th, made another examination
and tells me that my lungs are rs
sound as anybody's. 1 feel perfectly
well, and | know I am entirely cured,
and that I owe my life to S. s. s.,
which was prescribed by the physi'
clan. My advice to every man. wo-
man and child who has weak lungs is
to take $. S. S. 1t cured me sound
and well after all the doctors and
all other medicine had failed, and l
want every sufferer to know it."

THE GIRL OF THE PERIOD.

She's very much misunderstood
And very much maligned.
She leaves tho good 'old'fVhioned girl
A long, long way behind
True, sho may work, and also paint
Kensington patterns qneor,
But moro useful girl noer lived
In any former year,
Perhaps sho owns dandy pug
But then, why should't shey
There's nothing wrong at oil In that,
40 far Gs can see.
She's cultured, but she's practical -
Can sing. or play, or cook,
Or cleverly converse with You
About the latest book.
She rises with the early bird,
Dresses herself with care,
And OF accustomed household work
She more than takes her share.
Herself the breakfast table sets,
Tho dinner oversees,
Prepares the salads or moringuos.
And daintiest of teas.
Makes jellios, buildings, bread or cake,
French dishes not few
In short, there's hardly anything
This blessed girl can't do.
She plans the tired seamstress work,
Aud makes the children's frocks;
And, though she doesn't like tho job,
She darns her fathers socks.
Tho little onos all turn to her
In any childish strait;
On her the mother also leans
In trials small and great.
She's just the girl fol- men to WOO
May you and /, sir, win;
But We must keep our record clean,-
She'll never wink Mt sin.
She IL earnest aud she's merry,
Brilliant, but good and true;
The most loving, brave and helpful
Girl that you ever knew.
Truly she il misunderstood
Aud very much maligned,
She leaves the good "old-fashioned girl"
A long, long way behind.
