necessity of united action ON the

which will no doubt end in our

something before it is too late; let
the young men of the race spring
an issue that will startle the civil

As there was no written agree

bought mere right of burial in q

JOHNSON 8 sADDREss.
At ten o'clock this m ,rning a
number of we'll dressed young peo.
pie gathered at Fifteenth street
Baptist Church. DR.. w. J Sim
mons. President OF the Colored
State University, read the call of
the Trustee Board. and introduced
Rev. Geo. w. Dupe to preside at
the morning session. Rev. s. P.
Young conducted devotional ex-
ercises.
The struggling period of the In
stitution is now over. What has
been an experiment is now a re-
ality through the Irresistible ener-
gy of the Board of Trustees, the
Women's Convention, the Gener-
al Asso citation and the President
Of the University. The problem
has been fully demonstrated that
the col0red race Can successfully
establish and control an institution
for higher education. The curric.
ulum in this institution is of a
higher character included the
studies of Latin, Greek, French
and the higher mathematics. The
English course consists of history,
EnnIish literature, philosophy,
moral and mental, aud other stand.
ard English subjects.
The address of welcome was de-
livered by Rev. w. III. Frank,
pastor of the Flfth-avenue Church.
Prof w. B. johnson, Professor
of Mathematics in the Wayland
Seminary, was the orator of the
day. The subject, "Slavery and Ig
norance VS.. Freedmen and Intelli-
gence" was eminently ftfuI and
practical.
The points touched upon were:
The blighting effect of slavery up
on both the enslaved and the en-
slsvers; its moral and physical re-
straints; it's deadly influence, pois-
onous disentegrating.
Second tranistory period
of the negro and its promoters have
provoked much discussion. Lin
| coins position for the Union was
commended. The grasp of slav-
ely's fingers had t, be loosened by
the fingers separately.
Third-There will be racial
conflict. The orator hoped that il
would be averted. There ought
not to be any negro problem. If
he had his rights there would be
none. The friction comes from op
position.
Fourth-The negroes wealth a.
mounts to $2OO,OOO,OOO worth OF
taxable properay, all won by hot
est toll and labor in the hum Ier
calllngs of life.
The address was a studied re,
view of the negro position. There
was NO blood curdling. infaning
stump speech, but finished an.
alyatical resume of all that hai
made the colored race. The pero-
ration was tribute to the humble
citizen and exhortation to hon
or and duty.

RUEJAI ALIVE.

The fact that many people are
buried alive is again brought to our
notice. 1t has been asserted, and
after due deliberation, too, that one
third that are buried are buried alive.
OF the very few 2rsves that are
opened the heavy percentage OF dis
torled corpse9 found proves this fact.
This last case was in Syracuse, New
York.
Edward Faith, n German laborer,
lives alone in half-tumbled down
sbanty near the Erie Canal. lie
had as his only companion his
seventeen-year-Old daughter, Emma
pretty and intelligent girl. About
the middle of March Emma caught
cold, which, after several days,
settled on her lungs. On FRIDAY
she ceased to breathe.
The pody was let for about four
hours, aud when Mrs. Seahler and
another neighbor dressed 1T Tor
burial, they were surprised to find
that the body was warm. Later in
the day an undertaken took charge
of the remains. The funeral took
place the next Sunday afternoon.
After the old mans children went
TO thcir various homes, and he re-
mtined alone in the shanty, the
losa of his daughter bore heavily
upon the old mans mind, and be
spent much of his leisure time al
his neighbJr's, where the fact of the
girls body Icing warm several
hours afCer her breathing seemed to
have cca ,ed was talked over. The
possibility of the girl being buried
alive preyed upon bis mind so that
without speaking Of his intention,
he uncovered the grave last week.
The rough box containing his
daughters coffin was opened and
the lid taken from the coflin. No

the grief.strickcn father was Mortified

says that her hands were clasped

was nearly paralyzed with terror

PerilOus Balloon Ascent.

\ Calcutta correspondent gives
an account of the balloon adventure
of Mr.. Spencer, which has caused so
much excitement in India recently.
Mr.. Spencer's successful parachute
drop at Bombay created n deep inn
preston. Unfortunately his first
attempt Mt Calcutta proved failure,
on account of his inability to fill the
balloon with gas. He entered into
IA fresh engagement To make para
chute descent ON the race course,
The natives were present in hun
dreds of thousands, and the large
Calcutta Madam, or plain, of which
the race course forms II small por-
ton, was dcnsely crowded. The
Niccroy, the lieutenant-governoI
and the leading members of the
community, native and European,
were present on the grand stand.
Mr.. Spencer took his seat on the
narrow leathern sling which re-
places the car used with an ordinary
balloon, ana gave orders to let gC
the ropes, The balloon, however,
refused Ia rise, being overweightcd
apparently by parachute, To the
CONSERVATION of everybody ht
ordered the parachute 10 be un-
hitched and the balloon to be re-
leased, and the next moment he
sailed forth into space. Some ten
minutes later the balloon was out of
sight, The crowd then began to
realize the terrible danger which
Mr.. Spencer had faced in order Il
fulfill what he imagined to be an
obligation To the public.
The balloon carried no ballast OF
graphing irons, and possessed ne
valve. Mr. Spencer was without
any apparatus for regulating the de-
scent of the balloon. He Was dressed
In thin clothes, aud had neither food
norstimulanls, As the hours passed
10y and no news was received the
public excitement Increased, aud
this Was further stimulated next day
by false rumors and 10y the publica.
uon of the opinion OF leading scien-
lists that death was Inevitable.
This condition of anxious mental
tension was protncled until tele-
graphic news WAS received of MIR.
Spencer's safety,
IL appears that the balloon ascend.
I'd $1,000 feet and then began gradu-
ally 10 descend. Ultimately MIR.
Spencer leap,d nom the balloon
when near the earth, aud found
himself safely planted in small
island, some .orty miles nom Barasut.
