Black Snow.

a phenomena that has not yet been
satisfactorily explained was witnessed
on April ?, at Aitken, Mimi. Shortly
before 5 o'clock in the afternoon it be-
came so dark that lights were necessary
in business houses and the air was filled
with snow that was as black and dirty
rs though it had been trampled into the
earth. Six ounces of snow and one
fourth ounce of dirt and sand were
found in the bottom of dish. The dirt
is very fine, something like emery, and
contains particles that have metallic
luster This dirty snow fell 10 the depth
of half an inch. The atmosphere at the
time presented peculiar greenish tinge.
There was a little wind blowing at the
time from the northwest. though there
seemed TO be considerable wind higher
in the air. Solid chunks Of ice and sand
are reported to have been picked up in
various places.

1t has been given out. with how much
authority does not appear, that President
Harrison, in his appointments in the
south, intends chiefly to recognize white
Republicans with view to the allaving
of Democratic prejudice and the hope of
breaking up the ''solid south" If this
be his intention it is evidently not with
out exceptions, as the appointment of
Robert Smalls to be collector of internal
revenue at Beaufort, S. c., proves. Mr.
Smalls represented his district in congress
one term shortly after the war and was
candidate for a seat in the Forty-ninth
and Fiftieth congresses, though was kept
out of it by the usual Democratic meth
DDS both times.
By his recognition of Mr.. Smalls Pres
ident Harrison emphasizes his condem-
nation of southern election frauds.
Smalls is bright, intelligent and capable
and will discharge the duties of his office
as efficiently as Douglas, Bruce or any
other colored men have. The president
no doubt fully assured himself of this
before making the appointment.

Citing a Proverb.

Kansas City Gazette
.'He that maketh haste TO be rich shall
not be innocent" This old saying, in
the form of a general proposition. is as
true now as when it was written four
thousand years ago. The disposition of
men is the same today as then. When
one man accumulates property rapidly
some other man loses in ike proportion.
Happy is the man who is content with
slow gains. Little by little is what
knocks. Springing into sudden wealth
causes most men TO lose their heads and
become reckless. They do not appreci-
ate money at its tsue value. Put it down
rs a fact that the man who draws prize
IN lottery is seldom benefited thereby,
for it makes him feverish and unsettles
his equilibrium, and the desire for spec
ulation once aroused will down him at
last,

The tendency of our people TO desert
the farm and drift into the cities is
shown by the census returns to be
rapidly increasing. In 1890 the proper
ton was 3.3in cities to 100 on farms. In
1880 it was shown that %, , live in cities
TO 100 on farms. Let this difference go
on increasing for another century and
what will be the result? From rural
and agricultural people we are fast being
transformed into an urban and depend
ent race. In further tettimony of this
note the break-neck scramble of the
surging crowds that went rushing into
Oklahoma to get a lot in an imaginary
town site. Its wonderful.

Striking a snag in the Sermon.

Chicago IrIbune,
A Baptist clergyman recently made
book trade with a Congregational cler
gyman, and he discovered that the Con-
gregationalist had carelessly slipped his
next Sundays sermon into one of the
beautiful folios. Somewhat of humor-
list, he determined to deliver that sermon
from his own pulpit. But this joke was
a double-edged one. Along about the
middle thereof the sermon bore down
very severely upon the doctrine of i'm
mersion, and the confusion that this
discovery caused our Baptist friend rem
dered the concluding part of his dis
course exceedingly brief and desultory.

The census of 1880 shows the extreme
readiness of Americans to change the
place of their residence. Out of total
population of a little over fifty millions,
nine and one-half millions were born in
states other than those in which they
live, and the number of those who have
changed their place of residence without
changingith state is still larger This
statistical fact has been most clearly

from the following:
There is a good deal of talk ii Sc days

There is no such thing as "love that is dead"
Though over and over the words are said
For love that is real is love for aye.
No a fancy that lives for a year day;
Through all tie is true love Will struggle and live,
But false love dies ere 1t learns to forgive;
An unknown feeling is that of hate,
If the laws of God are inviolate;
We are true to natural aflnities,
In all things the heart with the mind agrees;
Twas an all wise Fathers thoughtful plan,
For the good and the happiness of man.
Trace back all sorrows TO its first great cause.
And find it was breaking the natural laws

us. There IS, however. one among them who is not candidate for office, and we know whereof we speak when we say Iha, the party in this territory owes him much gratitude. Travelling over the ter rlto-y by stage, riding continuously night and day in 1880, he aided in forming the first organization of the party here al time when republicans were scarce and il was not the popular side. He served as the first chairman of the terri torial republican central cc.nmittee, and was reelected and served a second term !; represented the territory in the Chicago convention of 1884, and was a member of the national republican committee from 1884 till 1888. He has always been found fighting with his colors, upon principle and not for reward, and never dallying or trading with the enemy. He enjoys more of the confidence and es- teem of all thorough republicans and more of the genuine hatred of the dem- ocrats of this territory than any other man, because they all know that he is in earnest. and that there IS no halfway ground iu the gamut of his political ann bilion. The democrats politically hate, because they fear him, and the repub-- licans admire him for his aggressiveness. The name of that gentleman is Hon. Clark Churchill, ot Phenix.
