The Horse and tho Fly.
! From the Detroit Free Press.l

From the Detroit Free Press.
A Horse having kicked vigorously at
a Fly and raised great row over his
presence, the Insect tauntingly replied:
"Well, this makes me Tired! The
idea of a great Animal like you allow
ing yourself to be stirred up by small
Insect like me-"
"Your size Is the trouble" replied
the Horse.
"If you we're only half my bulk the
Public would forgive me for striking
back, or if you were as big as an Ele-
phant, I could win Praise by Licking
you. AS it is you Annoy me and I
suffer in Silence"

THE NEGROES.
There is no doubt that the negroes
are pro6ting much more by the free
school system than the whites are.
The school commissioners, trustees and
other citizens with whom I have talked
on the subject, as well as my own OBJ
servation, confirm this. The negroes
get their pro rata share of the public
funds; and they get more schooling for
the same amount of money, first, be-
cause negro teacher can be procured
at a lower salary, and, secondly, be-
cause their schools being larger there
are not so many teachers among them
in proportion to population to consume
the funds. Is it not an anomaly that
the negroes who are unable themselves
to educate their children, nevertheless
educate them in the common schools
more generally than the whites, who
own nine-tenths of the wealth?
THE PLAN PROPOSED.
I proposet the following rough draft,
subject to such modi difcations as maybe
deemed best, for the consideration OF

Alex tombstone, cashier of Clark & Lara
bie's bank, interested himself in the mat
ter Of disposing Of the bonds. He accord
ingly correspondent with Eastern parties,
giving all the information required about
the city and its surroundings. The re-
suit was that he was authorized to buy
the bonds at bids ranging from SO per
centum to premium Of three-eighths
per centum. Saturday the bonds, amount
ing to $4,000. were sold at a slightly ad-
vanced premium over the figures already
There Is no doubt the credit for
sale of the bonds is largely due to

others to activity and competition.
