changed. The weavers did not return to
work to-day as anticipated, and ma

The strong hold these Silks have upon
customers in New England, from the fact
that they do not crack, crock or grow
greasy in wear, makes them now more
popular than ever, and as the quantity
about eight hundred yards of each-is not
large, we would suggest that ladies should
attend to it at once to secure their dresses,
even if not contemplating making them
up till Spring. We have on hand the
lower number at One Dollar, but the One
Dollar and Twenty-Five and One Dollar
and Fifty Cent numbers are SO much SUI
perior in finish and beauty, not having the
rougher surface of the One Dollar num-
ber that they are accepted by ladies for
dresses for all wear street, house, dinner

A Man without an Ancestry.

AS soon as the American negro seeks
to rise above the level of the former
time, he finds himself confronted with
the past of his race and the woes of his
kindred. The white man traces his an
cestry back for generations; knows
whence they came; where they lived
and guesses what they did. To the
American negro, the past is only dark
ness replete with unimaginable hor-
rors. Ancestors he has none. Until
with aquarter of a century he had no
record of his kindred. He had no faith
er, no mother-only a sire and dam.
Being bred for market, he had no
name, only a distinguishing appella-
tive, like that of horse ora dog. Even
in comparison with these animals, he
was at disadvantage; there was no
"herd-book" of slaves. The remem-
brance of this condition is not pleasant
and can never become 80. 1t is exas-
perating, CALLING, degrading. Every
freedman's life is colored by this shad-
ow. Thus the life of the negro, as a
slave, freedman, and racial outcast,
offers undoubtedly the richest mine OF
romantic material that has opened to
the English-spaking novelist since the
Wizard of the North discovered and
depicted the common life of Scotland
The negro as a man has an immense
advantage over the negro as servant,
being an altogether new character in
fiction.-FOrun1.

A bill Is pending before our legislature
requiring road tax to be paid in money
and not worked out on the roads as Ii Is
now. A law Of this kind was passed in
the winter of 1865, and repealed the
next winter. Had it been left for fair
trial we7oplne that no legislature would
have taken the responsibility of its re-
peal. The trouble with that effort was
that during the year 1857 there was no
work done on the roads, there being no
money in the treasury for that pur-
pose, aud no tax to be worked out, the
roads, left as they were in a terrible
condition by the very wet fall of 1856,
were scarcely passable, and the people
clamored for the repeal of the law not
having the patience to wait and see
how the law would operate after fully
in working force. 1t may be the same
thing over again next year If the law
passes this winter. The conditions are
more favorable now, however, for the
reason that next summer will probably
be the dryest since 1873, and the roads
are in better condition to stand one sea-
son without repairs. If the bill should
become law and carefully consider
ed plan be adopted as to the expendi-
ture of the funds, there is no doubt but
there will be much better effects than
are possible under our present law.
The only benefit that can be claimed
for the present system is that persons
charged with tax can cancel the amount
by labor. and thus save their cash for
other purposes. This benefit Is a very
doubtful one. In large majority Of
cases the farmer could earn many times
the amount thus saved by putting in
that time on his farm.
Road work to be of lasting benefit
should be done in the spring, or early
in the summer. Road making Is i'm
possible in the mud. When the road is
fit to be worked the adjoining fields are
ready for the plow. Later the road
work interferes with the cultivation of
the corn. One day lost in the cornfield
may decide the yield of the crop. How
frequently is heard the excuse, "When
should have been in my cornfield /
had to work out my road tax. While
working out the road tax the weeds got
the start, rain came on and the result,
very little corn"
If the authorities have the money to
pay for road work, the work can be pro-
cured at a season when most profitable;
if any of the citizens have time to spare
for the road work their services will
command money.
The Press believes that all concern ed
would be better off were the bill, if the
bill is what it might be, enacted into a
law.-Brydn Press.

county, who according To Gov. For
aker's message tn the legislature was
the only man in Ohio actually whipped
by the White Caps, and whose whip
Ping was the occasion of the famous
treaty OF peace between the governor on
behalf of the State and the outlaws who
had violated the laws of the State, has
moved into another county and begun
a civil suit for damages against his per-
seeutors. He wants sixteen of the
White Caps to pay him $4,000 for ihe
lashes they gave him.
Right here an interesting question
arises. Gov. Foraker in his message
says that as part of the conditions of the
treaty he was furnished evidence insur-
ing the conviction of the White Caps
who actually committed the outrage,
which can be used against them in case
of the treaty being broken bv the COM
mission Of another like offense. The
information in the governors keeping
will be OF the utmost value to the plain
tiff in the civil suit If he can get 1t.
Why should he not SUBPOENA the gov
ernor and compel him to bring in the
evidences of guilt which he says he has"
Suppose he were to be summoned,
could he plead that the matter was
privileged and refuse to disclose the
facts he claims to have? Would it not
be answered that the governor had no
right to enter into q compact with
criminals to shield them from the laws
and that in withholding the evidence
warranted to convict he was acting

young apple trees being planted in an
orchard. Soft soap was used at the rate
of half pound to three quarts of wa
ter, with which all the stems and
branches were painted in November
going the infested trees again the fol-
lowing spring. The operation had
been facilitated before the first applica-
ton by pruning out the diseased
branches, and burning them. The ap-
plication was again repeated the follow.

Three years afterwards, when the orch.
