Art Of Glass blowing,

Glass blowing is an art nearly 1000 years
old, and perhaps much older. Yet there has
never been any means discovered of dispen-
sing with the human lungs as the instrument
of the blowing. An English company is ex-
perinenting with mold and mechanical
bellows, which does satisfactory work at
bottle blowing, but this pretends to attempt
only coarse work.-New York Sun.

RACE PREJUDICE.

A serious obstacle to the salts
factory adjustment Of the Indian
problem, is the
Absurd Race Prejudice.
which exists in the minds of SO
many. 4'he Indian as judged from
what seems to be his normal con-
dition, is looked upon as the typ
ical representative Of all that is
slothful, ignorant and inestima-
BILE.
He is looked upon as a being in
capable of advancement to that
plane, which, in this century, and
in this country, is deemed nee
essary requirement, by those who
desire to occupy recognized posi-
tion in social life. We do not
mean here, social life, as guaged
by conventiona1ism, but social
life in its broadcast and best sense
that Is, as the term which express
conditions Of living under princi-
pies voiced in the words,

ssThe New South. >,

For several years after the close of
the late warrior the Union, the Southern
States remained in condition of power
ty and exhaustion from which many
thought it was impossible for them to
recover. Atlanta, in 1865 dilapitated,
.half-burned town, is now the Chicago
of the South, city of magnificent
buildings and the entire center of an
enormous trade. Birmingham bids fair
to surpass Pittsburgh in iron manufac-
turtles, and to become an immense
workshop, while the continually advan.
cling prices of real-estate are marvellous.
Nashville and Memphis are metropolis
tan cities, pushing to the front under
the guidance of alert and energetic men
of business. New Orleans has renewed
her youth and held two magnificent ex-
positions. Everywhere progl ess is the
watchword. A tour of this tsNew

st. James Church Notes

I
The large congregations which attend
morning services shows that the people
OF st. Paul are not of the class that
linger in the old ruts. There was time
when you could never have large
gathering of Colored people except at
night; it is not SO now, our people, or at
at least a large number of them are COM
ing to the front.
The classes were largely attended.
The pastor announced that lie had re.
ceiyed letter which stated that Rev.
w. A. Dove had been stricken with
blindness while in his pulpit at Louisi-
ana, Mo. The Sunday school was well
attended and numbered many new per-
sons.
The evening services were largely at
tended. There were few people present
who did not weep. The solo by Mrs.
Clay was full of pathos and we'll rendered.
Mrs. Mary Mason is still confined to
her home. She is being carefully at
tended by the benevolent stewardesses.
1t is composed of kind hearted and
earnest christian ladies. The peace and
harmony which characterize the work
ing together of the various committees
shows that st. Paul has many refined
and cultured ladies. The only people in
church who are contentious and quar-
relsonle are those who are ignorant and
unrefned. Polite and cultured people
never quarrel, and the better class of
our people can always get along in peace
and harmony; but there is class who
are sensitive and always mihed. There
are few or none Of that kind at St. James
church.
A mass meeting Of Colored citizens
will be held at St. James tomorrow
digit (Sunday.)
Mrs. Lyles, chairman Of the fair com
mittee has been quite sick. Her skill
and energy was greatly missed by her
associate committee.
These ladies deserve great credit, and
are fully worthy of the name they have
made both here and abroad.
