THRIFTY NEGROES.
Over Two Thousand Colored Depositorf
in Jacksonville (FIa.) Bank.

Over Two Thousand CoIored Depositors
in a Jacksonville (FIa.) Bank.
1t would astonish good many peo-
pie in South Carolina to be told that
one bank in Jacksonville enjoys the
patronage of over two thousand colored
depositors. Yet such is the fact, and
some of these accounts amount to above
$1,000. This is money earned by me-
gro men and women who do unskilled
labor in and about the city. A few de-
positors are carpenters and bricklayers,
but the majority of them-the men
earn dollar day at whatever their
hands can find to do. 1 stood half an
hour beside the cashiers window in
the bank referred to, and saw two
negro men and three women present
their books to have an additional dol
lar or two-dollar bill entered therein.
The women do washing, house clean
ing, gardening-anything. They dress
plainly and take the utmost pride
in their bank account. 1t will be added
to that of their husbands or lovers
and go toward the purchase of land or
a mule, or an OK to help work the land.
This streak of negro acquisitiveness
hereabouts is due in certain measure
to the life infused into his surroundings
by the stream of Northern visitors that
pours in and out during half the year.
1t stirs his blood, enables him to earn
an extra dollar or two per week, and
above all teaches him what a blessed
thing it is to have houses and lands
and ready cash.
The negro farmer of Northeastern
Florida is not the shiftless, improve
dent, nomadic character found in other
parts of the South. John F. Rollins,
of Jacksonville, who was for ten years
in the United States land Office at PEN
saeola, tells me that during that time
an average of forty or fifty claims
under the homestead law were entered
by negroes every month. The first
cost of this tract of 160 acres is $40.
When the claim is proved up there arc
other charges. making the total ex-
pense about $500. Mr.. Rollins says he
never knew of an instance where the
final charges were not paid and all the
requirements of the Government lived
up to.
"When negro gets q good tract OF
land in his grasp" he said, there is
small likelihood that it will ever get
away from him. He will live poorly
and so will his wife and children, and
they will all save money to preserve
and increase the value of their invest
ment."
There are such settlers in this and
neighboring counties. The condition
of one such will furnish a fair criterion
to judge the others bv.-Cor. N. Y.

How the Apostles Died.

Many readers, perhaps a large ma
jority of them, old as well as young,
will find new information in the fol-
lowing paragraph, taken from the
Evangelist: st. Matthew is supposed
to have suffered martyrdom or was
slain with the sword at the city of ETH
opia, in Egypt. st. Luke was hanged
upon an olive-tree, in Greece. st. John
was put into a caldron of boiling oil at
Rome, and escaped death at Ephesus
in Asia. st. James the Great was be-
headed at Jerusalem. St. James the
Less was thrown from a pinnacle or
wing of the temple and then beaten to
death with fuller's club. st. Philip
was hanged up against a pillar at HER
apolis, city of Phyrgia. st. Bartholo-
NEW was fayed alive by the command
of a barbarous king. St. Andrew was
bound to a cross, whence he preached
unto the people until he expired. st.
Thomas was run through the body
with a lance at Coromandel, in the
East Indies. st. John was shot to death
with arrows. St. Simon Zealot was
crucifed in Persia. st. Matthias was
first stoned and then beheaded. ST.
Barnabas was stoned to death by the
Jews at Salania. st. Paul was bebeaded
by Nero.

THE MELoplous TuI.
Something About the Sweetest Singer Q
All the Birds.

Something About the Sweetest Singer Of
All the Birds.
Birds of which we know nothing
here, and which, strange to say, were
not even found in that bird puzzle Of
ours, are seen in Australia and New
Zealand. A traveller in those far
away lands tells us something about
the Tui: While we stood watching
the stream an exquisite sound broke
upon our ears. 1t was like the piping
of those reeds that the dervishes in the
East play upon while their brethren
perform their strange devotions. This
piping was constantly being varied,
sometimes by even softer, but some-
times by more metallic sounds. At
one moment the song grew so loud
that it seemed to be quite close, the
next it appeared to melt away in the
distance.
Suddenly it ceased. It was Tui-
the most beautiful songster in the
world We saw one on branch few
minutes later. 1t was about the size
of blackbird, the plumage Of blue
black with metallic hues, and in
places almost like velvet. The beak
was yellow. as were also the legs. At
the throat it had two little tufts Of
white feathers, which gave the bird q
rather quaint appearance. In New
Zealand some Of the birds are pros
tected by government, but manv have
died out. st. Paul Globe

An Extract from John Ruskin's Recena
Lecture at Bradford, Eng.
''Friends, I know not whether the
thing be the more ludicrous or the
more melancholy, it is quite unspeaka-
ably both. Suppose, instead of being
sent for you, I had been sent for by
some private gentleman, living in a
suburban house, with his garden sep
arated only by fruit wall from his
next-door neighbor's, and he had called
me to consult with him on the furnish
ing of his drawing-room. begin look
ing about me, and find the walls rather
bare; think such and such a paper
might be desirable-perhaps a little
fresco here and there on the ceiling-a
damask curtain or SO at the window.
'Ah, says my employer, 'damask cur
tains, indeed! That's all very fine, but,
you know, can't afford that kind of
thing just nowl' Yet, the world
credits you with a splendid incomeP'
'Ah, yes, says my friend, but do you
know at present am obliged to spend
it nearly all in steel traps?' Steel
traps!. for whomP' why for that fell
low on the other side the wall. you
know; we're very good friends, capital
friends; but we are obliged to keep our
traps set on both sides of the wall; we
could not possibly keep on friendly
terms without them and our spring
guns. The worst of it is we are both
clever fellows enough and there never
a day passes that we don't find out a
new trap or new gun barrel or some
thing; we spend about Els, ,000,0 600 q
year each in our traps, take it altogeth-
er; and don't see how we're to do with
less A highly comic state Of life for
two private gentlemen! but for two ma.
tions 1t seems to me not wholly comic.
Bedlam would be comic, perhaps, il
there were only one madman in it; and
your Christmas pantomime is comic
when there is only one clown in it; but
when the whole world turns clown and
paints itself red with its own hearts
blood instead of vermillion 1t is some
thing else than comic think

Gathered to my bosom!
No; they fade from hour to hour
And want my blossom.
Shall call her precious pearlf
Set not jewels nigh her
Only just aeountry girl,
Yet not king could buy her.
Shall call her angel blest,
Whitest soul of womani
Stay think like her best
Laughing. weeping, huma1.
Is she, then, q sparkling star
Sent to guide and cheer meI
AhI the skies are cold and far,
And like her near me.
Not name is there on earth

Fit TO tell one half her worth
Real, true and living.

Only would amaze her;
For her own sweet self is she,
And all my deeds shall praise her.
