HarYard,s Negro Prodigy.

Memphis Avalanche.l
1t seems that the selection OF Glenn
ent Garrett Morgan, a negro, for class
oratory at Harvard University, was
due to accident rather than design.
He won by single vote in a total OF
over 250 ballots cast. His supporters,
it appears, wished to give him a hand
some complimentary vote, and neither
they nor his opponents thought he
would win until the result was an
nounced. The other officers we're
chosen by much larger margin.
No matter how the election was car
ried it is matter that concerns the
Harvard graduates more than any
body else, and has so far no special
significance. II the statements in the
newspapers are to be credited the Har-
ward men Of late years have paid more
attention to boat racing, base ball and
theatricals than to study, and it is not
surprising that smart negro who has
stuck to his books outranks most Of
them in scholarship.
If, however, the members OF The
class wish to emphasize the compli-
ment paid their negro associate as a
deliberate Iebuke to the supporters OF
the color line, they must not stop with
honor already bestowed. They must
entertain him at their homes, and in
every other respect recognize him as
an equal, They must not question his
right to select wife from their circle
Doubtless some fair damsel can be
found among the daughters Of New
England to share the lot OF the honor
man of Harvard
1t will not do to hesitate. The bars
are down and the dusky steer with the
crumpled forelock must be allowed
free range among the Puritan stock
with the long pedigree.
People who do not approve Of such
social liberty will watch the future
career Of Harvard's negro prodigy
with considerable interest.

NEURALGIA.

This is a disease of the nerves and
muscles, affecting any part OF the
body, and distinguished by dull, acute
shooting piercing pains which, while
usually limited, often extends along
the course of a branch of nerves. The
pain has also its periods Of increase
and diminutlon, sometimes ceasing
altogether for days, weeks or months,
only to again commence Unexpectedly
with all the old terrible force. There
is generally no tenderness upon pres
sure, fever, or swelling, in distinction
of pain OF an intlammatory nature.
Among the many forms of this disease
the most common are, viz Nervous
Headache" the bane of womanhood /;
Pluerodynia, Neuralgia of the nerves
and muscles of the chest; IIumbago
of the back Sciatica,-often called
Rheumatism, of the posterior part OF
thigh and leg; Ticdouloureux, OF the
face and teeth and Hemicrania, above
the eyes. The causes may be attribu-
ted principally to Malaria, overwork
and cold. The remedies for Neuralgia
are legion, liniments predominating
the latter being only "counter-irri-
tants," their effect is merely temporary
| for the disease has its seat in the blood,
and any remedy to be successful must
enter the blood through the stomach
and neutralize and destroy the sb
structive acid that destroys it,

The report Of the State Comptroller,
az published in another column, shows
the state to be thirty millions better
off to-day than it was twelve months
ago.
Thirty millions is a good deal. In
fact, it is something to make mans

corner is not to be sneezed at, and
when thirty millions marks the natu-
raj increase OF prosperity in modest,
unassuming State like Tennessee, it is
something worth raising dust about,
Thirty millions! We like the word.

Of thirty millions.

We cannot see that Governor David
Bennett Hill, of New York, has inn
proved his presidential chances 10y his
recent visit to the South. The South
ern Democrats have never held him
in very high esteem, for the reason
that they have never regarded him as
a simon pure Democrat, and now that
they have been given clearer insight
into the man and an opportunity to
judg, of his mental calibre, they are
more than ever disposed to thwart his
ambitious schemes to become the
leader OF the National Democracy in a
race foi the office so acceptably filled
by Mr.. Cleveland.
There is no concealing the fact that
the Democrats OF the South are practi
eally unanimous for your Uncle Gro,
yer, and it is equally true that failure
to secure him as their leader two
years hence will not in the least
strengthen the chances OF the present
Governor Of New York.
There was good deal OF senti-

wife died in giving birth to girl baby.
He afterwards married his wife's sis
ter, who also died in the course of a
year, Just after having born to her a
girl baby. Miller was an industrious
fellow, and his father-in-law, close
listed dairyman, brought about a mar
riage between Miller and third
daughter. In three years girl baby
was born and the third wife and sister
died. The father-in-law had died a
year before, and the mother, who was
a treble mother-in-law to Miller, and
he mourned the loss OF their dead to-
gether. A mutual liking struck up,
the result being that mother-in-law
and son-inlaw Miller became husband
and wife
Their marriage was happy one for
almos, three years. Then Mrs. Miller
No. gave birth to girl baby, dying
within less than ten days After the
little one was born Miller lived but two
