Negro Migration to the Gulf States.


If the statement is true that Is, 5000 ne
grOes have left the state of North Caro-
lima since last November, and that the
heads eff families representing 100000
more intend to follow them southwark
during the coming fall, it looks as if In
short time some of the gulf states
might contain such large proportion of
ooiored people DIS not only to outnumber,
but practically to drive out. the white
p ,,pulatiOn, and create a black belt for
mat section of the country. It has been
frequently noted since the war that the
tendency of the negroes is TO revert more
and more to the purely African type.
This means that the colored people will
follow their racial instincts, and that the
tendency of negroes all through the
middle section of the country will be TO
withdraw themselves into communities
where the climate is warmer, and where
they can develop freely their peculiar
ways OF life. At the same time, it is not
ed that the white population at the South
are gradually shifting northwaId. There
seems TO be no reason for believing that
the white domination of the negro is
having anything to do with the forma-
ton of this black belt. 1t appears to be
due entirely to the natural and reaOnabie
desire of the black race to be massed to-
gether in climate which is more CON
genial to them thar the northern part Of
the Southern states, but, whatever reasons
may lead TO this migration southwark,
the fact cannot fail to have great political
significance in the development of the
South

THE KANSAS SOLON.

Nothing pays so well as behaving your
self.
There never was man who did not
overwork a willing horse.
Many men get rich by doing the work
that other fellows neglect.
Some men you can't ST eak well of, but
they hate you if you don't do it.
The man who laughs at his own wit
never has anything funny to say.
The ghosts of the living haunt you
more than the ghosts of the dead.
Every man ought to be affectionate
enough to embrace his opportunities.
Some people compute their friendship
as they do the interest on their dollars.
Don't kick if you owe bill you can't
pay. The kick is coming from the other
man.
IF people who eloPe could only elope
back az ain, how many more elopements
there woald be.
Do not be unhappy. When unhappy
people die they become ghosts and never
get 70 heaven.
There is no contempt that will equal
tne I66IlhS girl OF 10 mas LOT OOy
younger than herself.
The man who wants to fight will never
be peaceful because he can find nothing
to fight about.
1t never takes long TO saw wood; it is
the time it takes TO spit On the hands
that delays man.
1t is hard TO say which is most danger
Ous-a friend with good memory or p
friend with poor one.

DOING" EUROPE.
Absurdities of American Travellers Across the
Atlantic.

Absurdities of American Travellers Across the
Atlantic.
A story that would be ludricous but for
upon reading it, is going the rounds, OF
two young men from western state who
are doing Europe. Not that they had the
remotest idea of gaining any benefit from
the trip, or that they really saw anything
worth looking at the second time, for the
paintiug s in the Lowe and the galleries
of the Luxembourg were no more TO them
than ohromos given away with packages
of poor tea. They could not understand
even "Fhe Last Supper"
An intelligent New Yorker took them
in hand, and every morning arose early
an d laid out a route for the day, but the
exposition made them tired, an they
saw in the Champs Elysees only place
in which to sit down and talk over their
comrades at home. The New Yorker
finally lost patience and said that he was
tired of hurting the glories of France
against the "jeily fish souls of these two
galvanized uummies from the west" He
said that he had asked them why they
came to Europe and they did not know.
Another story Is told of General from
Maine who was doing Europe with bis
wife and daughters few days ago. At
the door of st. Peters at Rome he met an
scq uaintaDce from his nLtive state, who
offered him copy of the Bangor Wing.
st. Peters had no charm for the Ameri-
con after that. He took the paper g. ger
ly ana sat upon the steps reading while
the wife and daughters inspected the
cathedral

CHAPTER TX.
LOVERS PARTED.

Walter, little dreaming the blow his
own love had received, made Percy
write to Julia an apology, and an invi-
tation to visit his new house if he was
forgiven. Julia said she could not for
give him. and would not go. Walter
said, PUT on your bonnet, and take a
little drive with me-"
"Oh. with pleasure" said Julia. slyly.
So then Walter drove her to the new
house. without a word of remonstrance
on her part. and FitZrOy met her radiant,
and Walter slipped away round a cor
ner. and when he came back the quar-
rel had dissolved. He had brought a
hamper with all the necesSarieS of life.
Tablecloth. napkins, knives, forks,
spoons. cold pie. salad and champagne.
They lunched beside the brook on the
lawn. The lovers drank his health, and
Julia appointed him solemnly to the
post of speacemaker, ''for," said she,

shall be always quarrelling; sha'n't

to think tnat Of papa. You make me
very unhappy"
Forgive me, dear" said Julia. Il am
too bitter and suspicious. Some day I
will tell you things in my own life that
have soured me. Money! hate the
very word" she said, clinching her
teeth.
She urged her view no more, but in
her own heart she felt sure that she had
read Mr.. BARLEY Alright. Why, he was
a trader, into the bargain.
AS for Mary, when she came to think
over this conversation, her own subtitle
instinct told her that stronger pressure
than ever would now be brought on her.
Her timidity, her maiden modesty, and
her desire to do right set her on her de-
fence. She determined to have loving
but impartial advice, and so she over
came her shyness, and wrote to Mr..
Hope Even then she was in no hurry
to enter on such a subject by letter, so
she must commence by telling him that
her father had set great many people,
most of them strangers, to dig for coal.
That cross old thing, Colonel Clifford,
had been heard to sneer at her dear
father, and say unkind and disrespect-
full things-that the love of money led
90 loss of money, and that papa might
Just as well dig well and throw his
money into that She herself was sorry
he had not waited for Mr.. Hopes re-
turn before undertaking so serious a
speculation. Warmed by this prelimi-
nary. she ventured into the delicate sub
iect, and told him the substance of what
we have told the reader, only in far
more timid and suggestive way. and i'm
plored him to advise her by return of
post if possible-or why not come
home? Papa had said only yesterday,
II wish Hope was here" She got an
answer by return of post. 1t disappoint-
ed her on the whole. Mr.. Hope realized
the whole situation, though she had
sketched it family instead of painting
it boldly. He was all sympathy, and he
saw at once that he could not himself
imagine better match for her than
Walter Clifford But then he observed
sonal objection, but wished the matter
to be in allegiance until she was older,
and Colonel Clifford's objection to the
connection should be removed or soft
ened. That might really be hoped for
should Miss Clifford marry Mr.. Fitzroy;
and really in the mean time he (Hope)
could hardly take on him to encourage
her in Impotence and disobedience. He
With him he should take less hesitat-
ing line, and set her happiness above
everything. In short, he wrote eau
tiously. He inwardly resolved to be on
the spot very soon whether BARLEY
wanted him or not; but he did not tell
Mary this.
Mary was disappointed. "How kind
and wise he isl" she said to Julia-"too
wise"
