It Reminded Vance of a Story
From the Ne,c York Tribune.

THAT letter OF acceptance which the Presi-
dent wrote, reminds me, said Senator Vance
of North Carolina, 'of a man down in my
county, will call him Jones, because that is
not his name-who after an absence from his
native town OF fifteen years, attended divine
service in the same church in which he had once
worshiped. He found in the pulpit the same
old preacher that he had listened TO fifteen
years before. Apparently much impressed by
the sermon, Jones made his way to the vestry
at the conclusion OF the service and, renewing
his acquaintance with the clergyman, said:
1T is fifteen years since heard you last. In
this very place. fifteen years ago, heard you
preach a sermon that have never forgotten. 1t

Baby Eas Gone to school

The baby has gone to school; alb, me!
What will the mother dor
With never a call to button or pin,
Or tie d little shoeg
How can she keep herself busy all day
With the little laundering thing" away!
Another basket to FIJI with lunch,
Another good by" to say,
And the mother stands at the door to see
Her baby march away; Es0
And turns with a sigh that is half relief,
And half something akin TO grief
She thinks of a possible future morn.
When the children, one by one,
Will go from their home out into the world,
To battle with life alone.
And not even the baby be left to cheer
The desolate home of that future year.
She picks up garments here and there;
Thrown down in careless haste;
And tries to think how il would seem
If nothing were displaced;
II the house were always as still as this,
How could she bear the loneliness?

publicans, the Maine election requires a
great deal of explanation by republicans
who took part ill the campaign. Mr. Joseph
Marley the chairman of the republican
state committee, has not ye ceased his en-.
deavors to explain away the falling off in
the republican majority and the gain in the
democratic vote. Manley is a pretty shrewd
fellow, but these are things which no ore

The Freshets and the Cross Tides Dam.
What caused the damage done by the
recent freshet, which resulted in such
general disaster to the planters on
the Savannah river, is worthy of the
investigation of the representatives in
congress whose constituencies are the suf-
ferers by its devastations. That the greater
part Of the destruct ion of the rice crop was
caused by the improvements made by the
government for the benefit of the commerce
of the country, is apparently capable OF
proof. From observations made by COM
petent parties, the freshet had no danger
Gus effect upon the Front river, l. e., that
in front of the city of Savannah, as the
water did not attain a hight greater than
an ordinary spring tide. 1t would appear
from this that the immense volume of
freshet water found its exit elsewhere; that
it was backed up by the cross tides dam at the
upper end of Hutchinson island until it at
tanned hight and volume sufficient to go
over the rice field dams, and the river left
its natural channels and swept in one
immense sheet over the plantations below,
and also backed up the water on the places
above. Year after year have the planters
of Georgia and South Carolina lost their
crops, and in some instances been totally
bankrupted, by reason of the damming of the
main channels of the river above the city.
Years ago the planters protested against
the building of the cross tides dam, because
they were of the opinion that the water
might be entirely diverted from the Back
river into the Front river The river has
been diverted, but not in that direction.
The narrow channel left for the exit of
its waters is not sufficient during a freshet,
and the pent-up food is diverted and rushes
madly over all the low lands on its way to
its level, the ocean, sweeping before it, sea-
son after season. hundreds of thousands of
dollars of property. 1t is within the power
of the government to remedy these ever re-
curing disasters by building a levee along
the river to protect the low lands aud plan
tations from these pent-up freshets. Not
only are the planters sufferers
by these continued devastations, but
thousands of negroes who are dependent
on the rice fields for their daily bread are
threatened with starvation, and a large
taxable area, valuable to the country for its
products, is on the verge of abandonment
because of the immense losses of its
owners. This is not a pic ure drawn by an
alarmist, but one that is painted in colors
not as dark as the subject warrants. No
question to-day is more important to the
constituents OF the congressman from
Georgia and South Carolina THAI that here
presented.

The Colored Voters.

AS was seen by our dispatches yesterday,
Mr. Thurman made on the preceding day
some very sensible remarks to delegation
of colored people from Arkansas who had
called on him, and what he said applies
equally to every colored man in the coun-
try.
For number of years after the colored
people had been freed from slavery and
given the franchise. they voted the repub-
lican ticket almost to a man They were
the political slaves of republicans who had
come south expecting to be elected to Office
bv colored voters. These carpet baggers
never thought of asking a colored man
what ticket he preferred to vote. He was
expected to vote the republican ticket upon
every occasion and under all circumstances.
ard if desire to vote any other was ever
expressed, it was smothered very effect
Tally, even if intimidation and bulldozing
had to be practiced
This political bondage has been broken in
great measure, because, perhaps, it has
dawned upon the colored people that the
republicans cared not for them, but for
their votes. A great many of them have
CtdSeu W dppItCldlo Ihc dlicSSu uub1 Vi
voting the republican ticket. and have used
to better advantage the time which was de-
voted formerly to political meetings aud to
elections. Others have become democrats.
1t is not probable that the republicans
will be able to arouse in this campaign any
special enthusiasm among the colored PEG
pie for their ticket. Mr.. Clevelands adj
ministration has been marked by regard
for the best interests of all the people, with
out regard to section or color. The col
ored people have found out that they may
obtain all the rights and privileges under a
democratic administration that they can I'M
der republican one. The fact is that APP
pa emily Mr.. Cleveland has been to some
pains to show his interest in the colored
people, and many of them have learned to
regard him very highly. Quite a number
of Cleveland and Thurman clubs have been
organized in different parts of the country.
The best interests of the colored people
demand that they vote the democratic ticket
next November. The triumph of that ticket
means the continued prosperity of the coun-
try. 1t means the reduction of taxation to
the actual needs of economical government,
and under the plan of reduction advocated
by the democrats the colored people would
be relieved from paying as high prices for
the necessaries of life as they pay now.
