People Who Fret.

"Care killed the cat" is we'll
known old saw. The force of it is in the
fact that fret and worry will kill even an
animal which is popularity said to have
nine lives. Fretting and worrying may
not kill you, but they will shorten your
days, and what happiness is there in a
life all cankered with care? But how
avoid worry? Well, Americans travel
more than any other people on the
globe, and probably discomforts and de-
lays in travelling cause us greater annoy
ance than all other sources of fretting
combined. The great Burlington system
reaches all the principal cities of the
West, and if you always select it as your
route, you can Danish fretting forever.

luxurious are its ars, and so appetizing

Emancipation Day.

A fair representation of Colored peo-
pie were present at the Minneapolis Ex-
position last Monday to celebrate the
twenty-seventh anniversary of the issue
of Abraham Lincoln's emancipation pro-
clamation. The day was dull and gloomy
which probably accounts for the num-
Der not being larger. Excellent singing
was furnished by the choral club and
Prof. q. A. Coleman. The addresses by
W, R. Morris, Esq. of Minneapolis,
Rev. J. NJ, Henderson and F. L. Nc
Chez, Esq, of st. Paul, were
mastery efforts and elected contin-
uous applause. Rev. J. W. Dun.
gee offered an eloquent prayer. Mr.. A..
6. Plummer read the emancipation pro-
clamation. Innes Band furnished ex-
cellent music and all present enjoyed
the occasion. After the exercises the
committees and the participants in the
exercises were rendered supper by
the exposition management which was
not the least of theenjoyable features Of
the day. On the whole the OCCASION
was highly enjoyable and creditable.
