ran excitedly in with the announcement
that his "Pa" bad vertigo and Ma
wanted him to come right down stairs.

IzRAL HILL,
PRINCE EDwARD COUNTY, Va,
February 8, 1889.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
There appeared in Sundays Dispatch
Of January ~, 1889, "Ihe Result Of the
Fairest Emancipation Experiment Ever
Tried" and closed with "W. T.. d.,
Powhatan." he said that 800 acres OF
land were given to families, when there
were only $50 acres.
Now, in regard to our progress: Be-
fore the general emancipation we were
not allowed TO have any chance for i'm
provement in the way OF education. We
could not even have a Sunday school.
But notwithstanding ali OF these things
We are now called by the gentleman
OF Powhatan the worst people OF the
age For all that we are proud to state
to the readers OF your valuable paper
that there has never yet been one OF US
sent from here 10 imprisonment OF any
kind, 30 We feel proud OF Izral Hill for
that one thing, and VIC nre sure that
not only the people upon Izral Hill, but
the people Of povhatan would be proud
TO maks such statement. But since
the emancipation We have everyday
school and Sunday schools and graded
teachers chat were born and reared here,
and temperance societies and literary
societies, and We hope that in the near
future Mr.. w. p. ID. will see coming
from Izrsl Hill lawyers, doctors, and
other professional men.
But we hope that the seven millions OF
negroes will not be held responsible nor
compared with the people of Izral Hill
before the general emancipation, when
We did not have any chance Whatever.
For since the general emancipation all
good people who will acknowledge 1t
know that the negroes have made rapid
strides toward education and morality,
of which they had before been deprived.
The negro as teacher stands very fair /;
as a doctor he treats disease with skill {;
as n preacher he explains tho Bible in its
original tongue, aud As lawyer he pleads
at the bar with intelligence.

Indies aud was Professor Adams's chief
assistant in tho magnificent work ac-
compished by him in this interest

This course OF action is based not

By good or iii fortune the fate Of
Thomas Clesry, said to have been ono Of

under indictment accordingly, hangs
long in suspense. His case has been
tried once aud has resulted IN disagree

a jury for the second trial st the Oyer

failure, not single iuryman having
been agreed upon after a weeks

aud defence becoming weary OF
the vain attempt application was
made to Judge Patterson IN Su-
preme Court Chambers for change OF
venue. This has been granted, and
Binghamton, Broome county, has been
selected as the place for the trial. Judge
Daniels, who has presided Mt the jury

the right to sing in the Royal Theatre,
Berlin, or in any of the theatres asso-
ciated with 1t in Germany. She paid a
fine of 1900 marks to tho lntendant

A Rev Phase of the Temperance
Question.

To the Editor of tie Dispatch:
Tho Detroit Free Press states that
through the efforts Of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union q law has been
passed in many of the States, and also
IN the District of Columbia and the Ter
ritories of the United States, providing
"thAt instruction shall be given in ali
the public schools rs TO the nature OF
alcoholic drinks and narcotics, and their
effects upon the human system.
IN making this move the Womans
Christian Temperance Union have taken
a step in the right direction, and, as
the Free Press says, sit Is great
work which the women have accom-
pished in securing so much legislative
attention and action. and they are justly
entitled to great credit for their earnest
ness, activity, and persistence:
What better method could be de-
vised for dealing with the evil of intern
perance and the use OF narcotic poisons
OF every description, such as opiun,
cAloral, and cocaine? 1t appeals TO the
higher impulses OF our nature, to mems
intelligence, prudence, and self-control.
The plan of coercion treats men as II
they were children and incapable OF
governing themselves Surely there Is
no fair-minded man, even though be be
interested in the manufacture or sale OF
intoxicating liquors, who will not be
ready 10 ABIDE such test he Should
be willing TO accept the verdict OF public
opinion thoroughly enlightened as to
the effect OF tho article he puts upon the
market
The advocates OF temperance have
placed their claims to pubic attention
TOO exclusively upon moral grounds.
They have not given due importance to
the physicsl degradstion which excessive
dripking entails upon its victim or to the
;oiurious effects OF the daily and long
continued use OF brandy and whiskey
even In moderate quantities.
