RICH COLORED MEN.
Examples of Ex-Slaves in the South Who
Have Grown Wealthy.

nave UrOWn wealthy
1t will probably be surprising to know
that in Galveston there is colored man
who is worth over $3.50, 900. His name is
Sylvester, and he has fine mansion in
the most desirable residence portion of
the city. And, what will more than sur
prise Chicago people, his wife employs
none but white servants. How did Sill
vester get rich? Well, he got start in
politics, then ran a saloon and a gam
bling-house for colored people for few
years, then went into real estate and
specialized. He is shrewd and success
full. One of the most successful and
wealthiest real estate men in Houston
is colored man. His name is Milton
Sterrett. He owns fine residence, sur
rounded by immense grounds, all ter
raced off and planted in the finest
flowers and shrubbery, and keeps a
landscape gardener to attend it. He was
a waiter on the boats between Galveston
and Houston before and all during the
war, and made every thing he has in
real estate deals during the last twenty
years. He owns several large planta-
tons and is worth at least $500, 600.
Then take Senator c. n. Burton, of
Fort Bend County. When the war
closed and he was freed he lived on
plantation belonging to his mistress,
whose husband and two sons we're
killed, leaving her alone in the world.
She had given him good elementary
education and % was shrewd. BY atten-
ton to business he soon acquired good
farm. In few years he added to it, Aad
bought in the plantation formerly owned
by his mistress, and had two other large
ones on the Brazos in ten years more.
His old mistress being reduced to pov.
erty, he undertook to care for her. He
said, when he was elected to the State
Senate, that he owed all he was to her
kindness, and that he felt it his duty to
care for her. And he sent her back to
her native State-Virginia-and regu-
larly RENTS to her-and has done so for
fifteen years-Sl50 every month. He is
popular with whites and blacks, Demo.
Gratis and Republicans, and studied law
so that he could depend on himself to
manage his immense plantation and
ranch interests. Senator Burton is
worth over S5OU,00
Then Henry Black, the great sheep
and cattle ranchman of Tom Green and
Pecos Counties, is worth nearly half
million. He has made it all in less than
fifteen years. Are these men Southern
negroes? Yes, every one of them.
But the largest plantation owner and
the heaviest farmland taxpayer in the
rich county of Lamar was light-col-
ored mulatto named Harver. He died
few weeks ago and left a widow, who
will be able to pull through, probably,
as her husband left four large planta,
tions, fine stock farm, some city prop.
erty in Paris, and a big bank account.
Besides this he loft her a snug little in.

Much interesting information respect

Gently been given by NJ. Valbel in his

series of biographies of the principal
members of the force. The Police de

Political Police Force" acting under
the orders of the Minister of the In

The Police de Surete, on the other
hand, is body the members of which
look for their orders to the Project of

form their duties openly and without
any of that impenetrable mystery which

spector," and has as his respective chiefs
the Sub-Brigadier, the Brigadier, ant
the Principal-Inspector. This force was
first founded by the famous Vidocq in
1882, when it only comprised thirty-one
men, to whom were added fourteen ''out-
siders," who were called indicdteurs In
1S4S the body was increased to 100 men,
being afterward reduced to sixty, until
it was at last brought up to its present
redoubtable number of 800 inspectors"
who are directed by NJ. Goron.
He has under him on the staff one
ief clerk, who acts as his principal
deputy or ''under-study;" four other
clerks or secretaries, five chief inspec-
tors; ten brigadiers and twenty-sub-
brigadiers. The 300 detective-inspec-
tors are attached to sections, such as
the Special Brigade of picked men, the
Department of Information and War
rants, that of Requisition or Searches"
the Pawn Office, the Streets and the
Disorderly Houses. There is also an
other important section, that of Cen
ter or Permanence, to which belong
the detectives told off for various event
ualties.
During period of fifty-seven years
the Surete has had twelve chiefs, OF
whom the best known-not including
Vidocq-was Claude, whose memoirs
obtained worldwide reputation. Not
withs anding sharp criticism, the
French Surete maintains high charac.

ARIZONA RAtSIMS,
An Industry That Has Proved Profitable
in the Territory.

An Industry That Has Proved Profitable
in the Territory.
In the Palmer House rotunda a party
of travellers we:c talking about the flu
ture of the Western Territories. f. n.
Scofield, Of Phoenix, Ari., remarked
that there were industries in his Terri
tory that were industries hardly known
in this part of the country. For in
stance" said he, show many raisins
were grown in Arizona last year?"
'Not one," replied a member Of the
party.
81 thought you would say that" re-
turned Mr.. Scofield. "Now I'll tell you
something new about your own land.
In the Salt River Valley there are some
100000 acres of the best vineyards in
this broad continent. In less than five
years that spot will be known over
all the globe as one of the greatest
raisin-producing sections in the world.
The climate is such that grapes can
be dried better and quicker there than
in any part Of California During the
entire summer we have no rain except
little showers now and then. There are
the valley to irrigate every available
foot of land.
There years ago I planted eighty
acres with vines. Last year l got my
first crop. can't tell exactly how many
tons of raisins sold except that sup
piled the whole Territory. Then when
it was demonstrated that grape-growing
was profitable business any number of
people set out vines. l was the first one
to produce raisins in Arizona and when
planted the first vine l had no idea
that the enterprise would be so success
full. Although the industry is only a
year old the valley is now pretty well
taken up by grape-growers. This year
will plant 100 acres more. The pro-
duction of raisins in California and
Arizona has considerably cut down the
importation within the last two years.
1t will not be long before we are indie
pendent of foreign lands for this fruit. !"

AN OBSTACLE.

Twas climbing up mountain path
With many things to do,
Important business Of my own
And other peoples too,
When ran against a Prejudice
That quite cut of my view.
My work was such as could not wait,
My pathway clearly showed,
Ny strength AID time were limited,
carried quite load
And there that hulking Prejudice
Sat all across the roadl
So spoke to him politely
For he was huge and high,
Suggesting that he move q bit
And let me travel by.
He smiled, but as for moving?
He didn't even tryl
Then reasoned very quietly
With that colossal mule,
No other ro2d-my time was short
The mountain winds were cool;
argued like a Solomon
He sat there like fool.
Then flew into passion,
danced and howled and Swore,
] peltcd and belabored him
Till was stiff and sore.
He got as mad as l did,
But he sat there as before.
And then begged him on my knees
might be knceling still,
II so hoped to move that mass
OF obdurate ill-wiill
AS well invite the monument
To vacate Bunker Hill.
So sat before him helpless,
In an ecstacV Of woe:
The evening mists were rising fast
The sun was sinking slow;
When sudden inspiration came,
AS sudden winds do blow.
! took my hat, 1 took my stick,
My load settled fair,
approached that awful incumbus
With an abSCnt-mindCd air.
And walked directly through hin,
AS II he wasn't there!
