Educating the Colored People.

Dr. Attcus g. Haygood is an enthusiast
upon the education Of the southern ne groes,
and probably he has given us much study
to the subject as " other pers IN in the

Haper'S Ndgdsiae. on The South and

say about the educational facilities afforded
me colored people OF this section and about
The educational advancement thew have
made since the close of the war. He thinks
t at no other people were ever helped SO
much liz twenty five years, and that no
other illiterate people ever made such rapid
progress educationally. He states that
there are in the south 5000 common

children receive elementary instruct III Mt

100000 colored people in the south can at

there are numerous institutions of learning
that were established by wealthy men

the colored people, and in the leading ones

IN the south in 1888 was 2,o57 800, and that
The enrolment was about 1,OOJ,O 900.

Haygood, there has been contribut d foy

PORTLAND, oRo., Novfll.-Yesterday
the passenger steamer ]. H, Libby, from
Whatcom, Puget Sound, was totally de.
stroyed by fire in the straits between
Dangeness and smith'a. Island. The
Libby wasladen with 500 barrels Of lime,
which got wet and ignited. While
crossing the straits a strong wind came
up and several heavy seas were shipped,
the rudder unshipped and the steamer
became helpless. The lime got saturated
and flames were discovered. = An attempt
was made 10 run tue steamer ashore, but
the flames spread too rapidly. Fifteen
passengers were on board at the time.
The FIRE gained so fast that the passen.
gers could not get into life boats and
were compelled 70 take to two RATS.
The .passengers and crew were divided
about equally. Ono OF the RATS nearly
foundered before those climbing into Il
were rescued. Finally the steam
schooner Jean came along and took all
from the RATS. The hull Of the burned
steamer was aiterward towed to Port
Townsend and sunk. The Libby be-
longed to Herbert F, BeeCher, late Gov.
ernor Treasury Agent, Several bags Of
United States mail were burned, in-
cluding one pouch Of registered letters.
The steamer and cargo were valued at
