THE SOUTHERN NEVADA.
1t will Pass Through Rich Mineral
and Agricultural Region.

The Iuyo Independent has received a
map showing the proposed route Of the
new railroad from Salt Lake City across
Nevada to Mojave. 1t says: After
leaving Phoebe the road, as shown by
this map, will run southwest until it
crosses low range of mountains and en-.
ters Pahranagat Valley. 1t runs down
this valley to gap in another range Of
hills, where it passes into Ash Meadows.
At the head of the meadows the road
runs close to Mormon Well, and from
there to Pauamint Valley, passing
through the upper end Of Death Valley.
At the nearest point, in Panamint Val.
ley, the road would be about As miles
distant from Darwin. The route passes
down Panamint Valley and out on the
Moiave desert near Granite Spring,
Grapevine and Ell Paso, and thence di.
rect to Mojave. The men at the head Of
this concern assert very positively that
the road will be pushed to Phoebe next
Fall, and then through to Mojave with.
out loss of time. They understand that
if they come within 40 or SO miles Of
Keller, the Carson & Colorado road will
be extended to connect with their road.
As this concern is really the Union Par
cific, nothing better could be done TO-
our country in the way of railroad.
Such connection would open the way fol
US, not only to San Diego and Los An,
geles, but also to Chicago, St. Louis and
the whole East 1t would also give US
the best possible route to San Francisco.
There is sufficient reason. to believe
that the Union Pacific Company mean
business, and will push the road through
1t is also tolerably certain that the C.
G. road will connect with this road a
soon as it reaches suitable point.

St. James A. M. E. Church.

If there is a day in the year which
should be celebrated, Easter is surely
that day; so thought the hundreds who
focked out to services last Sunday.
The morning congregation numbered
about 400. The taste and real advance.
ment of a people is largely indicated by
the way they dress. Surely one must
have been convinced that the people OF
St. Paul are of the very best and most
progressive class, if he noticed them
last Sabbath morning. The time was
once when it was considered good taste
to dress in gaudy colors, and striking
costumes; but nothing Of such vulgar
taste was seen among all the vast throng.
There could have been no assemblage
anywhere graced by the presence OF
more gallent gentlemen and elegant
ladies. THE auditorium was handsome
with bright faces, and fine new costumes,
among the varied styles it was noticible
that many of our ladies have adopted
the Directoire style.
New hats, new bonnets, lastly bou-
quets, and generally elegant toilets IN.
dicated the Importance attributed to the
occasion.
On Saturday the ladies assembled and
literally submerged the alter with
flowers. It was found necessary to rent
but two plants, palms. One lady COM
puted the flowers gratuitously lent to be
worth nearly two hundred dollors.

A BIG EVENT.
All for Sweet Charity's Sake.

All for Sweet Charity's Sake.
In this far away Northwestern country
many young men and young ladies',
miles away from parents and friends
fall sick among strangers, their money
ls now gone and they are left friendless
and destitute; but for over a year St..
James A. M. E. church has had benev-
olent board of stewards whose work it
has been to care for the sick and friend
less. They have aided many and hope
to aid many more. They also visit and
sit up with sick who have homes and do
much other good work, like all other
good enterprises, their work requires
money, so in order to give the public a
chance to help then they will give an
entertainment on Monday evening
April Goth, which is next Monday at the
new Masonic Hall 81 Jackson street.
The Festival is called "Crazy Festival"
and will include a carefully arranged
programme of music and recitations, re-
freshments, lunch and supper, Don't
forget the date and be sure to attend.

The A. M. E. Church Review comes
to us this quarter, as usual, full Of inter-
esting reading matter, There is no
publication of Colored people of
which they may be more proud than
the Review. It presents the literary
achievements and possibilities as no
other publication does; it ought to be in
every public reading room in the land,
so that the dominant race would learn
more of their down-trodden and op-
pressed brothers. The patrons Of pub
lie libraries are the thinkers of the ris-
ing generation and the Review could do
q wonderful amount of good if its con-
tents could be brought to the notice of
these thinkers. The APPEAL believes
there are two hundred philanthropic
Colored men in the land who will be
willing to pay oae years subscription Of
the Review for some library, and if one
hundred and ninety-nlne can be found
who will do this The APPEAL will bring
mp the rear, and make the two hundred.
We suggest that the men who feel as
we do about this matter send cards to L.
J. Coppin, the editor S3l Pine street
Philadelphia, author ii ,g him to draw
on them for the requ amount.

Pilgrim Baptist Church.

Union, harmony and concord reigned
throughout the beautiful Easter dav
among us. The Church Was most pro-
fusely decorated with pot-plants and
cut flowers: the desk and table were
completely hid from view, and from the
chandelier there was suspended large
basket of flowors. The raised platform
in front of the pulpit was nearly covered
with flowers, and all around the pulpit,
then, amid the aroma arisn, from these,
the birds, from their numerous pretty
cages, sang forth their carols all harm
onizing in one volume Of praise to God.
The morning service was we'll attended,
and there were many, very many bright
and CHEEKY faces that spoke much in
appreciation. At 8 o'clock the church
was comfortably filled, at about quart
er past, the Pilgrim Commandery
marched in, and following them were
people enough to fill the church. The
sermon was preached by Elder Sheafe,
and the choir rendered most beautiful
music during the day. Mrs. B. H.
Wilson and Miss Lulu Griswold had
charge. No pains were spared to have
every thing first class. The duett by Mr.
Hilyard and Mrs. Wilson the solo by Mrs.
Wilson were unique. The Comma ndery
presented to the pastor a purse of $l2.
g.. and the same amount was given to
the church by the congretion. The
evening service consisted of Bible read
ing by six young ladies and two gentle
men. The choir rendered noble service
in the evening, assisted by the Orch
estra. The collection for the day was
$500. Much credit is due Miss L.
Griswold, Mrs. J. Rowland and Miss I.
Mink, for the decorations of the church.
Our gratitude to the singers and the
orchestra is boundless. Thursday even
ing May 2. Elder Sheafe will deliver
his most interesting lecture Footprints
of Stanley; fully illustrated with about
thirty views with a powerful stereoptican
Come to the Literary Monday evening
sure: there is full and interesting pro-
gramme. Deacon's meeting Tuesday
evening. Church meeting Friday even
ing. Every body come out business of

Hon. Robert Small has been appoint
ed Collector of Internal Revenue at
Beaufort, S. G.
Ira Tripp, millionaire coal operator
or Scranton, Pa, who is now 80, was an
inveterate smoker till he was 50, when
he was told by his physician that he
must quit the habit or die. He has not
had cigar or pipe between his lips
since, but has INDUCED his love for to-
bacco smoke by inhaling it from cigars
smoked by others. He finally resolved
to hire man to accompany him where
ever he went, the mans only duty being
to smoke choice cigar as often as one
was furnished him, and to blow the
smoke in his employers face. His
present smoker is Colored man, who
has been with him for several years.
Last week Secretary Rusk appointed
three Colored men as watchmen and
messengers, making eleven Colored
men in all on the rolls. Two of these
were Wilson Carey, a member of the
North Carolina Legislature, and John A
Hyman, an ex-member of Congress, also
from North Carolina.

The Petersburg weekly Herald, of the
18th, says: Neither the testimony
taken by Mr.. Venable in the city of
Petersburg nor in any county in the dis
trict has in any wise materially affected
the case as made by Mr.. Langston and
the friends of Mr.. Langston express
themselves confident of his success. y
Though situated hundreds of miles from
Virginia, the editors of this paper have
presented just one opinion concerning
the congressional election in the Peters
burg district, towit: That John M.
Langston had been fairly elected by
several thousand votes plurality. Oul
readers will not now be surprised to see
the facts in the case substantiate oul
views previously expressed.

Every available place had a bird cage

Livery available place had bird cage
pendent. Some times fully fourteen
birds sang at once, it seemed as though
the birds and the choir viewed with
each other the odds being in favor of
the choir. If ever any people had the
privilege Of listeningto beautiful music
it was last Sunday. The choir outsang
it's previous good record. Mrs. Clay's
Nearer my God to Thee," to the tune
of Annie Laurie rivaled Flora Batson.
The quartette in the evening must be
heard to be appreciated, many have al
ready requested that it be repeated.
The choruses all day were of the best.
The sopranoes with their bird-like
notes, the rich altoes, the profound
basso. the sweet tenor. and steady bari
tone, certainly by their perfect harmony
demonstrates the benefit of rehearsals.
The Sabbath school programme in the
afternoon was well attended and excel
lently rendered. The whole day was
one Of joy and gladness, and God was
honored and worshiped all day long.
Next Sunday morning Mr.. Hezikiah
Parker, will be confirmed. His conver-
sion is in answer to the daily prayers
of forty years offered by his wife, the
scene will doubtless be one of the most
sublime ever witnessed in the church.
All are invited, be sure to come, if you
do not you will regret it. Communion
will be administered Immediately after
confirmation.- "
Rev. Daniel Hardin has returned.
Many strangers were present Sabbath.
Mr.. Lyles was out and is slowly re-

N ISSISSIPPI IMMIGRATION,

s'Vicksburg, Miss, April ia large
meeting of wealthy and influential clti-
zeng of this city and county was held
here to-day to inaugurate a movement
looking to the encouragement of white
emigration to this section. Speeches
were made bya number of prominent
men showing the advantages of this
country for white labor and predicting
that the days of large plantations are
nearing close, and the salvation of the
country will rest with the white men on
small farms. The Directors and officers
will meet in few days to formulate
plans and issue printed matter to circu-
late in the North. Lands will be put
upon the market at low prices, and
every inducement will be offered by
boat and rail to induce strangers to come
to this section. ."-Globe Democrat.
What the Mississippi secretary failed
to do, and it was fatal ommission; was
to formulate plans to induce white emf
grants to stay. The poorer white man
is, the more he values his personal rights
and the recognition of his manhood
He must and will have his share in the
management of public affairs and that
is one thing he cannot have in Missis-
sippi. He must have full and entire
freedom of Speech, and that he cannot
enjoy in Mississippi to it's fullest extent,
without prosecution, socially and in
business. He must have educational ad-
yantages for his children, and these he
cannot have in Mississippi without pay
ing an immense price for them. He
must have social intercourse with his
neighbors, without having to pay for it
by course of toadying and submission
to dictation, and that cannot be had on
any other terms in Mississippi. The
''Mississippi plan," Mississippi repudia-
tion, Mississippi Kemper counties, and
Mississippi shotgun have secured a
worldwide reputation and are not
usually rated as advantages" by white
labor. Perhaps the "printed matter" will
prove that this idea is wrong.
