THE NEGRO REPUBLIC
Memphis Avalanche.

Mr.. Charles H. J. Taylor, ex-minister
to the republic of Liberia, puts the valve
of the private property in that country
st 100000, or 81 per capita. The
s'nation" has bonded Indebtedness OF
$2,00O,OOO, and over $70OO,0O0 have been
sent to it by benevolent persons in this
country and England. There are about
as many cabinet ministers as in the
United States. There are only four
postoffices in the country. The navy con-
sists of two gunboats, presented by the
English government which are rottlng on
the sand. Some time ago the President
of the United States recommended to
Congress the giving TO the infant repub-
lie of two old war vessels, but the offer
was rejected unless crews and provisions
for ten years were provided. The army
consists of one regiment, numbering All
nine privates. The Presidents body
guard numbers nineteen, of whom seven
teen are officers. In some of the coun-
ties there are not enough citizens to hold
the offices, but IN the Others there are
just about enough to go round. Glass
distinctions prevail TO the extent
they did in the southern states dHring
var times. The citizens domineer over
the savages and often use them cruelty.
Their boys make the young savages carry
them on their backs to school and do all
kinds of work for them. Candidates for
admission to the bar are required TO read
the first chapter of Johns gospel and to
spell the columns of words in Webster
spelling book as far as publication
They must also read the laws passed by
the last session of congress. The legis
lative assembly consists of two branches,
upper house having eight members
and the lower house thirteen. The annu-
al session generally lasts two weeks, and
the laws enacted fill about three pages.

Immediately pursued the culprit, who
fled to avoid being bastinadoed at the

he met carriage it stopped, the coach
man and footman had to take off their
caps aud the persons in the carriage had
to alight and make profound bow to the
emperor, who observed whether it was
sufficiently respectful. Sometimes
women v-th their children trembling

snow in d hard frost, or into the mud
during thaw to accom- plish the saluta-
ton. Paul always thought that people
wished to slight as they did when he was
grand duke; he liked everywhere to meet
with marks of fear and submission.

they fed at his approach and went down

Panama canal lottery loan bill. and for
the fifth time since 1884 the company ap-
peal to the country for funds. The last
series of bonds authorized was put upon
the market last spring, but the response
showed marked falling of in public coz

tinuous decline in the Panama stock with
the investing public. In 1888 $26,0O0,00O
in bonds was offered and S21, 100000 sub
scribed; in 1886 $45,OOO,OOO was Offered

British and American Wheat Growing.
American Agriculturist

The English economists are puzzled by
the problem presented by wheat cultiva-
ton in India. To that they ascribe many
of their woes and many OF the uncertain
ties of the future. The first export of
wheat from India was in 1868, and the
quantity was $685. 900 bushels. There was
slow increase for few years until 1876,
when the amount was 4,687 ,167 bushels.
For the six years, 1882 81, the average ex.
port has been 81. $4,000 bushels. In the
earlier years most Of this wheat went to
Great Britain. at least four-6fths of it:
but latteriy, say 1882 to 1887, the proper
ton has been less than one-halt. The
price of India wheat at the place of ex-
port has been few cents less than that
of our wheat, but the ocean freights have
been about as much In favor of the Ameri-
can product, and on arrival the latter has

THREE of the Mexican States have or
dered the abolition of bull-fghting with
in their territory by special acts of their
Legislatures. The speeches made in
favor of the law show that at least the

ton is fully abreast of that entertained in
countries which esteem themselves more
highly civilized, many of which still dis
grace the name by winking at the mos

states in the Mexican confederation vii

the country. The credit for this achieve.

editors, who, taking the cue from the
press of this country and England, have
waged bitter war upon the brutal Gus

THE London Standard, journal of ex-
cellent reputation for discretion i'll the
publication of its news, is authority for
the statement that Pope Leo has declin-
ed TO issue a new order as a substitute
for the one conlemning the Irish plan
of campaign. His Holiness, the Stan
derd says, was waited on day or two
ago by Cardinals Simeoni and Monaco
who laid before him . summary of the
speeches recently published by Parnel-
lite Catholic members of Parliament on
the late rescript. The Pope, however,
failed to see the necessity for a new
decree, and the old one will have to stand.

De RIGHT Time Fur a Nigga

Savannah, Georgia, recently moved its
town clocks forward thirty-six minutes:
the common council having voted g
return from standard to solar time.
"What am solyah time, sah?" queried a
darky when told of the change. Being
informed that it was the automatically
scientific term for sun, and solar time
meant sun time, he laughed one of those
old plantation laughs until his mouth
opened nearly back to his ears, and
thanking his informant, added: "Dat's
de right time for niggah, boss. 'Foah
de wah, when dar warn't so many lazy
niggahs, de sun nepber fool you bout
de time, sab. Niggah go to work when
de sun come up, and de horn blow when
de. sun get half way 'cross de SKY. Whsn
he go down, niggah's work is done. SIM
keep pow'fui bettaa time dan de clock.
When de clock stop, start him by de sun.
Nevah keep any time in de cotton patch
but SUE time sah." and again he laughed
one of those ante beilum laughs and
made an original African courtesy by
stopping with unhinged kuee.

A Favorable Report.

Some days ago number of boys left this
city for Vina, where they went to work in
Governor Stanford's vineyard. Yesterday
one of the boys returned, and in converse
ton with a reporter said There are a
large number of boys and men at work at
Vina. We begin work at in the morn
ing, have an hour at noon, and quit at 6 in
the evening. Most of us are picking grapes
in the field and loading them, to be carried
to the wine-presses at one end of The ranch.
The sun is very warm, and it goes very
hard with the smaller boys the first few
days. The boys ages range from 10 to 20,
and besides there are several old men. The
board is as good as can be obtained in the
city. 1t is not the bacon-and-beans style
so often furnished in the country. We
have plenty of mush and milk in the
morning, meat and potatoes and coffee
The meat is fresh and varied, and as good
as you get at home. At noon there is
plenty of meat and potatoes, onions corn,
beans and tomatoes, tea and coffee and
fruit. At supper we have soup occasionally,
roast meat and vegetables and fruit, and all
the time an abundance of good bread.
Butter is not served at all the meals.
The beds are ranged in rows and tiers in a
large dormitory partitioned off in big
rooms, accommodating sixteen boys each,
one in each bunk. We must supply our
own blankets, but good straw mattresses
are furnished. There are many San Fran
cisco fellows UP there, and they are noIsier
than the other boys. Every night they cut
up capers, and have lots of fun, but under
the oyerseer all work industriously during
the day The bedrooms are partitioned
about ten feet high, so the boys who are
awake throw all sorts of missiles over on the
fellows in the adjoining rooms, so went
to sleep in another place. The wages are
one dollar day and board, with fare paid
both ways. | came home soon, as I was
tired of the work. paid my way back,
but if had waited till to-day would have
had pass home on the cars. l have a
home here, and, as did not need to work,
l came back as soon as pleased. The plan
is a great thing for boys who have no
chances to work for good wages. A num-
Der of those San Francisco boys are glad to
get into the country for few months, and
especially at such good wages, for there
they can save every cent of it.

SUDDEN DEATH.
Mrs. Charles WhitIock Suddenly Stricken
Down at the Depot.

Mrs. Charles WhitIock Suddenly Stricken
Down at the Depot.
Mrs. Charles Whitlock, who has resided
for many years at No. 907 Second street,
between l and J. died suddenly last even
ing just after the arrival of the overland
train from San Francisco. When the train
reached the depot Mrs. Whitlock alighted
having her arms full of packages and bun
dies. She walked across the platform to
where young man named George Gill was
standing, and laying down her bundles,
asked him if he would watch them for her
for moment, as she felt sick and wanted
to get drink of water. He told her that
he would look after them, and she started
toward the saloon. A moment later she
commenced crying out that she was going
to die. She was placed in a hack and
driven rapidly to her residence, but when
they reached there it was locked up, and
the hack was driven at once to the Receiv-
ing Hospital.
She had scarcely been taken from the
hack and placed upon bed before life was
extinct. As the City Physician did not
reach the hospital before the body was re-
moved by the Coroner, the cause of death
could not be determined
Theodore Klebs q son-in-law Of deceased,
who resides at the American Eagle Hotel,
on the corner of Twelfth and streets, was
Immediately sent for and came to the Re-
ceiying Hospital at once. He said that Mr.
and Mrs. Whitlock went to John Paine's
rancho at Elmira, about week ago, on a
visit. He did not know that she was suffer-
ing from any ailment. Deceased has lived
in Sacramento since 1850, and was we'll
known. Her daughter, Mrs. Klebs, is very
ILL., and was not informed last night of her
mothers death. George Whitlock cousin,
who is now a Waterman at the Southern
Pacific offices in San Francisco, was notified
