thoven. The peculiar swing and rhythm
of the Africans melOdy-not the sold
Folks at Home" and other minstrel"
songs, but the weird and original music
of the slave-is distinctive. There is
nothing like it in musical history.
The African, too, is natural born
story-teller. He is equal to <E.sop in his
fables, and has far more hunlor. He hits
at folly around him and his victim laughs
as well as he. His lies, too, are told, not
for the sake of gaining him any advan-
tage, but for the enjoyment Of devising
them and working them up.
The African delights in this exercise
of the imagination, and does not care il
he is detected; he is simply an actor per-
forming for the pleasure of his audience.
IF you think him in earnest, he is
proved a good player" He has, too, one
example of what he may achieve as a
dramatic writer or writer of fiction.
Dumas, though not full-blooded, was
well tinctured with African descent, and
Dumas stands next to Victor Hugo in
French imaginative literature.
The poets, the dramatists, the novel
lists, the painters and the sculptors of
America 1000 or even 500 years hence,
are as difficult to con lecture as it was for
Caesar in his invasion of Britain TO have
dreamed of a Shakespeare or a Dickens,
or for Aristides TO have dreamed of a
Victor Hugo or Michael Angelo. In the
many possibilities the African has his
fair share.-Detroit Free Press.

misery. Hundreds of people exist in
deep and narrow unhealthy dwellings,
while in the main street of the city are
extensive converts and monasteries, COW
ering acres of ground and attending shell
ter to a handful of useless and idle monks
and nuns. On this account there are.
more churches and converts than mu-

than active citizens, more beggars than

eminent, more corruption than morality,
more glInpowder than bread. From this
Indifference the little good among us is
gradually disappearing. 1t lacks sup
port and appreciation. 1t is, therefore,
necessary in our own interest and in that
of our descendants to change this vicious
sorder of things, to reform these dreadful
abuses, to punish these offenses with Sc

Startling Statistics Showing the Degrn-
dalton of Lima, Peru.
Senator CASTOR, the chief of the bu-
reau of merchantile statistics in Lima,
Peru, has prepared sensational docu-
ment, the points of which Consul Brunt
has sent TO the state department. He
says: h
"There are only 100000 population in
Lima; 81 per cent. of these are minors,
Al per cent. single and widowed, 10 per
cent. married. Statistics show that 46
per cent. of the births in 1884 were the
fruit of wedlock, and 81 per cent. illegit-
innate. 1t is, therefore, more than evil
dent that over two-thirds of the popula-
ton of Lima live in a state of concubin-
age or something of that character,
rather than in legal or family ties. In q
word, of the 1OO, 900 people in Lima, but
little more than one-third live in family
ties. 10 eaElaia 'a iH3sAaA
There are SO, GA persons under age,
"a, 159 females, and only 80, 083 active
producers, SO that every able-bodied man
has to support more than three persons
The cost of food, clothes, etc., may be
reckoned at $500 per head per month.
Each man able to work should earn
$45.06 per month. This amount is only
obtained by the most limited number.
A condition of the most abject poverty
prevails, which shortens the life of the
people. The consuming class is con-
stantly increasing, and every man forced
to shoulder the musket is a new burden
laid on the shoulders of the producers.
1t is, therefore, shown that the population
s~.,~ a1
family basis, and that from lack of la
Dor power and excess of unmar-
ried females there is wanting
that great producing element which
is a principal factor in we'll
established communities. The result of
all this is a never-ending struggle be-
tween an educated minority and the pow
erful resistance of ignorant masses, who,
almost irresponsible for their acts, enter
tain deep-seated prejudice for those
they hold to be their oppressors. These
are suspicious, selfish mass, refusing
all efforts toward their own self-regener-
alton, without habits of order, unable to
respect laws of which they are ignorant,
living in intellectual darkness, and gem
orally in moral depravity, their existence
passes by without thought being given
to their advancement, their preservation
as a race or their hereafter.
When it comes to pursuits, 81, 956 are
without any. Even among those mar
ried not one-fifth Of the offspring survive
the first years existence, and the reason
assigned is that the parents can not pro-
vide them with the proper nourishment.
Even more lamentable is the fate Of
those numerous unmarried women whose |
children never know their fathers. For
them there is no employment, no protec- |
ton, no support. When their children |
live they grow up weaklings owing to
the privaions they undergo, and they
generally end their days in a hospital.
And this condition is due to the indiffer-
ence of our government and to our own |
Premiums are given to use
less and unsubstantial objects, while tai |
ent and honorable labor go unrewarded. |

A euRMEsE EAIRY STORY.

Visit to Giant In n Far COuntry-A
Hair of His Head.
Fairy tales are popular among them.
and there is one winch comes from over
the border in Siam which was told us by
a Siamese. The exaggerations all hang
together artistically and are'in the same
key, as it We're: There was once king
who heard that there was an enormous
giant in far country, and he declared
that he should never rest till he got a
hair of the giants head. So he sent his
fleet, and they sailed and they sailed and
tkey sailed for weeks and weeks and
weeks, and at last one day in the after
noon it became suddenly dark, and they
stuck fast and could get neither forward
nor backward. Now the fact was that
they had got inside hole in a sort of
carrot, the smallest vegetable In the
giants kingdom. 1a
-And behold the next morning the
giants children went out to fish, and as
they went they picked up two or three
elephants on their way for bait, but they
were only able to catch few of the very
smallest fishes in the country-'some-
thing equivalent to our minnows' (said
e-AS7i %---A owl xAA40 % bAACy WCAC eOAAAS
back they saw the carrot growing by the
waters edge, and pulled it up to put it
into the curry, and inside it was the
whole feet. After they got home the
giant threw the fish and the carrot into
the pot in order to boil them, when the
fleet rose out of the root to the top of the
water with all the men in it. What are
those curious insects ? said the giant,
peering down into the pot" Then came
a good deal more, which the narrator had
forgotten. 1
@The men tried to shout to the giant
and tell him what it was that they
wanted, but their voices were too weak,
and he could not hear word they said.
At length he lifted them up to his ear in
his hand, and a whole boats crew
marched in at the hole, and went ever
such long way up inside, and then they
all shouted together and told him they
had come from their king to ask him for
a hair of his head. So at last he was
