THE OLD SLAVE.
A Touching Tribute to the Negroes
Of the South.

Rev. j. Howard Carpenter, pass
tor of the Baptist church at West
Point, Ga, preached a sermon re-
Gently on the negro problem. 1t
shows profound thought, and
breathes, throughout, a spirit OF
Cancellation and amity, in strong
contrast to many. We take an
extract Itch will be found below
from the sermon. The preacher,
among other things, said;
"But it is our duty Co help the
negro, because we owe him some~
thing. We are actually in debt to
him. When we multiply our gifts
Il thousand fold, we will not be
giving to him. He will still be
our creditor by millions,
His own faithful hands swept our
fields of their virgin forests, and
broke the soil all webbed with
roots, and sowed the seed and cul-
tivated the plants until the wilder
ness bloomed like a rose and filled
our barns with bread.

with the blood of war and darken-
ed with the tale Of treason. Our

4 Successful Inventoz.

We wish all American inventors
could reap as bountiful o harvest OF
fortune as Hiram Maxim, of New York,
who has received $3.50, 600 for his last
production, the quick firing gun, in
England The first Maxim essay, the
small one barreled mitrailleur, has not
been a success except in theory, the
tremendous discharge of 1000 shots
per minute soon being too much for
any single bore, however excellent of
design or material. Maxim may be
fairly accounted a prospective million
aire, having previously to his ord
nance inventions received some $780,
900 in the United States for his electric
lighting patents. He is still young
man, and resides at Thurlow Lodge,
which he has purchased, about twenty
miles from London. The old mansion,
surrounded by very fine grounds, is

4 Trade In Dog Skins.

1t is well known that in many dis
tricts OF Manchuria and China there is
a great trade in dog and goat skins,
which are employed in the manufac-
ture of robes and mats; but it is COM

remnants of dirty and filthy animals
which abound in these quarters. The
idea, however, is 6. mistake, for the
business of rearing dogs for this DUR
pose is well established and is as sys-
tematic an industry as sheep farming
There are countless dog farms scatter
ed over the unknown regions Of Man

twenty to 100 dogs are reared every
year, and where the inhabitans is es-
teemed according to the number of
dog skins in has possession. 1t Us prob

to be found in these countries, FOR the

market or over to the city hay yard on
Lyndale avenue and he will be pretty
sure to find one there on almost any
pleasant day. The farmers who drive
horned steers into the metropolis are
usually of the regulation down east
pattern, typical Yankees, who are
slow in abandoning the customs of
their early days. Many of the
farmers and gardeners about the shores
OF Minnetonka are old settlers from
way back. For years after their ad-
vent In the territory of Minnesota the
OK team was the old stand by in all
the various details of farm labor, and
Tor many year was even the favorite
mode OF locomotion. Those old farm
ers in later days have become gar
denerS as well, and either out of defer
ence TO old traditions Or because thew

TO make use of the patient OK, and are
not to be deferred by any metropolitan
customs or hifalutin notions from

First Case Ever Known.

the name of a pleasant gentleman who
is now making short visit to this city.

think that one of his knees had been
slightly injured, but the truth of the
matter is that both of Mr.. Bakers lower
limbs are artificial. His one limb was
amputated a short distance below the
knee and the other about four inches
below the hip joint. He can easily
ascend or descend pair Of stairs.
This is the first case ever known in

limbs when one leg was amputated
above the knee joint. His appearance
is changed but little and his nisfor-

De Quincey suffered from indiges-
ton. His tastes were little trouble
some to the servant who prepared his
repast. Coffee, boiled rice and milk,
and a piece Of mutton from the loin
were the materials that invariably
formed his diet. The cook, who had
an audience with him daily, received
her instructions in silent awe, quite
overpowered by his manner, for had
he been addressing a duchess he could
scarcely have spoken with more def
erence. He would couch his request
in such terms as these: Owing to
dyspepsia affecting my system, and
the possibility of any additional disar-
rangement of the stomach taking
place, consequences mcalculably dis
tressing would arise; SO much SO, in
deed, as to increase nervous irritation
and prevent me from attending to
matters of overwhelming importance,
if you do ncG remember to cut the
mutton in a diagonal rather than q
longitudinal form. "-Pittsburg Bull

Transporting a Herd of r,nfaIoas.

these queer cattle from. Warden Ben

this herd from five animals captured
at that time. Mr. Jones has already
on his ranch about fifty head Of bison,
and a goodly number of animals re-

and ordinary beef cattle. The matter
of DEMONSTRATING these animals is at

Measure of Wealth.

In some parts of Africa a mans
wealth is judged by the number of his
wives. A man with sixty wives is
looked upon as a sort of bonanza king.
His wives probably go out washing at
SO cents day, or make shirts at 40
cents dozen. In this country a mans
wealth is judged by the number Of
dogs he owns The possessor of eight
dogs is generally too poor to pay
school tax, and his wife takes in wash
