RELAPSING INTO BARBARISM.

Not many weeks ago white man
from Ohio made his appearance in
Liberty county, Ca, and he was at
once hailed as a Messiah by the
blacks, who left their work and fol-
lowed him about the country. This
man, who is crazy as a loon, told
the negroes that on the 10th of
August he and his followers would
ascend to heaven. On the strength
Of this, the blacks left their work by
the hundred and followed him
about the country. Labor was de-
moralized, and the negroes were so
wrought on by their superstition
and their religious tanaticism that
the white people feared the worst.
Finally the Ohio crank was cap
tured and lodged in the lunatic
asylum, but no sooner had he dis
appeared than his place was taken
up by negro justice of the peace
named Edward James. This negro
went into 6 trance, and when he
awoke he announced that the spirit
Of Dupont Bell had entered his
body, and that henceforth he was to
be the leader. The statement was
accepted as true by Bells followers,
and they fiocked after James, who,
at last accounts, was going through
Liberty county demoralizing the
blacks and raising pandemonium.
No sooner had James announced
that he was Christ than he stripped
off his clothes and carried on his
work unembarrassed by garments of
any kind. To his principal disciples
he gave the right to set up harems,
and he himself has in his train a
number of concubines. Children
have been sacrificed by his orders,
and a number of negroes have been
beaten to death under the pretence
that they were possessed Of devils.
Whele this outburst of fanaticism
will end no one knows.
These manifestations and develop
ments are but part of the negro
problem with which our republi-
can friends deal so lightly and flip
PANTY. They are only few of the
results that grow out of . situation
bristling with dangers that are by
no means ola political nature. At

ONE YEAR IN HEAVEN.



One year In Heaven. o, blue-eyed little darling,
One year an angel by the throne OF God;
flower of earth transplanted to the garden,
Where never yet grave has marred the sod.
o. child SO dear we often feel you near us,
Here as of old beside each loving heart;
We call your name, and love to think you hear
us;
Here, yet in Heaven--so near, yet far apart.
So far apart? No. It's not far TO Heaven.
Gods world and ours touch in the grave 8
green sod,
And what we lose on earth in pain and sorrow
We find in gladness in the world OF God.
o, happy voice, that drove away all sorrow
From those who loved you in this lower land,
How sweet the songs are that you join in sing
ing
Too sweet, as yet, for us to understand.
How sweet the thought In Heaven a fair,
pure angel
Is ali our own, our own forevermore.
Though we are poor in all Of earth's possessions,
In Co.'s dear world what treasure is in store
o, joy above all other joys, to see thee,
To clasp thee, kiss thee. have thee as OF old,
And know in Heaven there is no loss or parting,
But always joy and happiness untold.
Watch for us, darling. Watch and wait our
coming
Be at the golden gate to let us through.
And may the sight that greets US first IN
Heaven
Be one, we pray, dear little one, of you.
