NEGRo REMUNERATION.

A prominent colored man of this city
remarked yesterday that he had been i'll
conference with some of the dissatisfied
people of his race in the South and he
had urged them to come North. He
said that 100000 of them should come to
the Northwest. 1t is probable that in
some localities the difficulties with the
whites would justify migration, but it is
doubted that the advice of their st. Paul
friend is judicious. If there is to be mi
grafton in colonies, it would be better to
locate where the climate and other con-
ditions are similar to those they are ia
miliar with. They are plantation labor
ers and coming in body to the North
they must obtain tracts of land and at
tempt to gain subsistence from it. Ii
10000 of them were to come to Mime
sofa and be able to obtain sufficient
land, they would be unable to subsist
upon it. They know nothing about
farming as it is carried on in this sec
ton, and the climate and conditions
would be unfavorable to their
success. Ten years or SO ago
a scheme was attempted to colon
ize some of this class of
people in Kansas. The result of that
experiment is familiar. The darkies
were like lost sheep when they got
there. Charity was invoked to relieve
them, and eventually most of them
scattered or drifted back to the South.
The climate and conditions were more
favorable for them in Kansas than they
would be more to the north. There has
been considerable migration. probably
without any organization, from some of
the Gulf states to Texas and Arkansas.
As rule, large movements of people
follow isothermal lines, and the reasons
for that are specially pertinent with the
class of people now wanting to move.
Land can be had in those states easier
than in the North, and if they are able
to subsist in communities by them
selves, there are more favorable condi-
tons in that section than elsewhere.
No doubt they have had good reasons
for dissatisfaction in some localities,
and all encouragement should be given
them to work out their destiny in new
regions, if that is their disposition.

POISONED BY HIS TEETH.
The Remarkable Case OF Ellis
worth Bennett, Which Perplexes
the Doctors.

The Remark able Case OF Ellis
worth Bennett, Which PerpleXes
the Doctors.
The case of ElIworth Bennett, of 50
Wolcott street, New Haven, Conn, has
attracted unusual attention in medical
circles in that city, and obtaining no re-
lief from physicians there he proposes
to go to New YORK for treatment.
Some months ago Bennett, who is emf
ployeds as freight brakeman on the
New York. New Haven d Hartford
road, decided to purchase set of false
teeth. He had been without teeth for
over a year and half, and his gums
were hard and in excellent condition for
the fitting of the artificial set. He Wis
tied a Chapel street dentist and was pro-
yided with an upper set. which when first
tried on. fitted perfectly. Mr.. Bennett
wore the teeth that night. About .
O'Clock in the morning he was awaken
ed by terrible pain in his head and
was startled to find that his tongue was
swollen until it was nearly two inches
thick and prOtruded from his mouth
nearly all inch, causing intense pain.
After a time this swelling subsidized,
only to appear ill some other portion of
his body.
Bennett visited Medical Examiner NJ.
G.. White for the purpose of having the
artificial teeth and plate analysed. The
teeth were of the ordinary kind and the
plate was of red rubber. DIR. White told
him that no analysis was necessary;
that he could tell that mercury had
been used in the making of the rubber
plate, and that it was the absorption of
this poison into the system that had
caused the SwcliingS.
After that Benefits hands swelled
up to three times their natural size and
he could not use them in any way.
This had hardly disappeared when his
feet sweIled in the same wgy. After
wards his knee-joints were as badly
affected; then his ears swelled, and
finally the poison settled in his eyes
and he became blind for a time.
The swellings are painless, except
when the tongue is affected. Then MI.
Bennett suffers intense pain from the
Straining of the facial muscles.
The majority of the doctors said when
first consulted that the swellings were
caused by mercurial poisoning, but up
to the present time they have not sue
cehded in expelling the mercury from
his system.

Wildcat Killed in New Jers ey.

New DIRK sun.
A humping big wildcat was killed on
Saturday in small piece OF woods op-
posite Belleville. and within six miles
of this city. William Jorelemon, OF
Main street, Beiieyille, was hunting
rabbits with two dogs, when the dogs
encountered the eat. Mr.. Jorelemon did
not dare to shoot for fear of killing his
dogs, but he went into the fray and
aimed abiow at the cat with the butt of
his gun. The animal sprang at him,
and in trying to get out of his way he
fell down, and the wildcat went over
him. Before it could turn one of the
dogs pinned it to the ground, and Mr.
Joreiemon quickly sprang to his feet.
Seeing good chance he put the muzzle
of his gun behind the cats shoulder and
fired. The cat was instantly killed. Ii
weighed twenty-three pounds. and was
nearly three feet in length. Mr.. JOrele.

GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS.

The operation of railway lines by the
government seems to be success tinan-
ciaIIy in Prussia. They not only pay
expenses. but are source of revenue.
The net surplus eight years ago was
$1,000, 900, and this had grown last year
to 100000. and will be over SIT ,000,-
600 this year, it is estimated. Prussia is
not larger than one of our larger states,
and this seems to be big margin for
the railway transactions. The tariff and
passenger rates must be much higher
than in this country. 1t would not fol-
low that the United States government
could operate roads with similar results.
