Colonel Huniu's Pamphlet.

The Negro as a Political and Social
Factor. BY FRANK G. RUFFIN. 1--WE
often see that humility not only is Of
no service, but is actually hurtful, es-
pecially when employed toward inSo-
lent men who from jealousy or some
other motive have conceived hatred
against you. MachiaveW Rich
mond J. w. RANDOLPH & ENGLISH.
Price 10 cents.
We would that million copies of this
little pamphlet could be scattered oil
over the North. Yet notwithstanding
the merits Of this assay Tie Forum and
The Century both declined to publish
it. Thereupon Colonel RUFFIS, who
never allows himself to be circumyented,
issued it in pamphlet form.
This pamphlet shows what the negro
is in his native land and in this country.
We cannot undertake to epitomize its
contents. Read it for yourselves. We
may copy some extracts from it here
after. Here is one sentence which we
will notice now:
"With nothing in common with rs
but bare humanity-the zone blood OF
which men all are made.
We would remind Colonel RUFFN that
that phrase Zone blood" is not in the
Revised Version Of the New Testament.
That it does not belong there is evident
TO our mind from the context. We
quote from Acts xvii, 90;
she made OF one every nation of
men for to dwell on all the face of the
earth, having determined their appointed
seasons and the bounds of their habiia-
ton, that they should seek God il
haply they might feel after him, and
find him though he is not far from each
one OF u.s."

1t is worthy of mention that to "su-
persede" means etymologically to "sit
over" or, as We say nowadays, to "sit
down upon" Also, that SroRMoNTH
gives the right pronunciation of "bu-
reaucraey namely. "burok 'racy," not
"buro 'hacy." This latter pronuncia-
ton we have always considered wrong.
WEBSTER and WORCESTER must come to
SroRMoNTH on this pronunciation.
emo'cracy" and "aristo'cracy y
would be as good as buro crazy"

with tho masses Of his party has been
well.established by THE fight. Besides,
he not only exhibited his manhood, but
with those people who thought and acted
with him has shown bold hand in favor
OF popular instead OF machine rule. He
has been badly treated in political
house where no should have found
friende He is, unless we mistake his
character. not the man to submit quietly
and slayisbly 10 this personal and politi-
cal outrage. His refusal to wear the
"collar Of Malone must commend him

professor of Oriental Literature in Union
Theological Seminary. The exercises
began at o'clock. Dr. Moore addressed
a large and attentive audience in the col

His advice was most excellent to young
men Just leaving home, and altogether
his discourse was all that could be de-
sired.
The prospects for the college this ses.

Women as Storekeepers.

The fields in which women find enl-
plOyment as readily as men are increas-
ing daily. One of the branches of in
dustry in cities which has been almost
entirely surrendered to women is that
of clerking in retail stores. Their
services are available at a cheaper price
than men, and, in many stores, perhaps
nearly all, they do quite as well as
young men do. In country and village
stores the employment of women is
rapidly growing but is not so general
as it will be in a few years. There are
many lines of goods, particularly in
dry goods and drugs. which young
woman can sell much more readily
than man. that is with greater salts
faction to the customer. Women make
good collectors too. and we are glad to
see that their usefulness is extending to
that thankless part of a storekeeper's
duties. A merchant who has adopted
this new scheme was asked about it and
said: IL find that my lady collector is
persistent, faithful and trustworthy,
and has great success in making some
very bad collections, and l don't see
why a lady should not be permitted to
ask for the payment of a bill if she can
do almost every thing else about an
Office. StOrekeeper.
