Our w. G. T. e. having

in my feeble way to do 50, hoping

We have all started in with a.
full determination to do all that
we can, in this the New Year, for
God, Home and Country, by try
ing to help our fallen Brothers
where ere they be, and if 4 band
of Temperance women, assisted
by the Temperance men and up
held by our Heavenly Father can
succeed, then we know success IS
surely ours, for this is our united
prayer, "God restore the inebriate
to his God first, then to his family
next" and we have our Fathers
promise, that Where two or three
are gathered together in My name.
| viii be in their midst, and that
to bless So in our faith. we are
waiting for the blessing which we
feel is sHre to come.
Our three meetings this year
have been full of interest, every
one increasing in numbers, and
we hope that others may come out
and join our number till all the
wives, mothers, sisters and daugh-
tiers IN our little town may be seen
wearing the white ribbon, which
is not only a mark Of Temperance,
but let rs make it a mark Of pur-
lily and happiness, for Oh, what
happiness there will be all over
our land when the drunkard shall
be snatched as. brand from the
burning and restored to his family,
not as the once besotted husband
and father, but new man as God
created him.
Now, Sisters Of the w. G. T. o.,
let us make this the burden of our
prayers from now till we lay down
the burden of life, when we shall
have our reward.
We shall for awhile, at least,
have our meetings weekly, and
would be glad to have our honor

we especially invite the ministers
of our Churches to meet with us
and strengthen US by their pray

What Freedom has Not Done for the Negro.

One thing, however, freedom has not done.
10 has not brought the COlored people any
nearer TO the whites. Social intercourse is
strictly confined TO business, unless where the
negro is q domestic servant; and is far less fire.
Qucnt and easy than in the days Of slavery.
Then in the home establishment and on the
best plantations plantations like that Dabney
estate in Mississippi of which so pleasing pic
ture was lately given in Mrs. Smedes' book
even the field hands were on familiar terms
with the master and mistress, while the chill
dren Of both colors played together. This has
entirely ceased. In some States the negro is
allowed to enter the same street cars or railroad
cars; in some he is less rigidiy than in others
kept apart in places Of public resort. But
everywhere in the South no is confined to
schools and colleges for his own race he wor-
ships in his own churches; no mingles in none
Of tho amusements. he is admitted TO none of
the social or industrial organizations, which
white people, even the humblcst Of them. enjoy
or form. Most significant of all his blood is
never mixed with theirs. The intermarriage
Of tho races is forbidden by law in all or nearly
all the Southern States, as well as in some
Western States; but legal prohibition was
scarcely needed, for public sentiment is univer-
sally opposed TO such unions. Those Illicit re-
lations of white men with colOred women,
which were not uncommon in the days of slav-
ery have almost wholly disappeared and it is
now rare thing for a child to be born with
parents Of different cOlOrs. No intermediate
race grows up to link the other two together;
for though there are mulattOes and quadrO0ns,
born under the old state of things they are all
reekOned with the negroes.

LAM Monk Nc Orere,tImatcd.

Everybody remembers the journey made by
Horace Greedy, Editor Of the New York Tribune,
across the Continent He immortalized one Of
the stagc-drivers who had charge Of the coach
down the Sierra Nevada Mountains on the Cali
fornia side in his work of that journey. But
even Of this the icOuOclast, in the person Of a
man FROM Nevada, as told by the Chicago
Tribune, says that the stage driver tiank
Monk was oyerestimated. We will let him
tell his story:
" Hank Monk was greatly overrated rs a
stagc-driyer / have known scores Of better
ones. But his getting Horace Greeley over tho
SicTras and down into Placcryille on time
gave him great notoTiety. IL was dreadful
drive and that IL didn't kill the old editor was
no fault of Monks. The road was slow and
rough and Hank was full Of tarantula juice
when he left Carson. IL was about % years
ago and Hank was b years DID,. lie died "a few
years ago. something over 90 Ia the goodness
OF Greelgy's heart lac presented Hank with a
gold watch, which he many times pawued sold,
and managed 20 get back. But there were 50
many ridiculous cXaggerati0ns aud right up
and down falschOOds told Of that ride that
Greeley became very tired aud, in reply 10 a
request Of Hank, some IS years ago. for some
favor. Horace wrote: / would rather see you
10000 fathOms In - than ever give you a
crust Of bread, for you arc the only man who
ever had the opportunity 10 place me in II
diculOus light, and you villaiuou5ly exercised
that opportunity, you scamp!'"

FOSTER ON LEECH.


~e-~ """tsUHry AppTOves, IN the NI8ln, the
ORATORS Opinions.
WASHINGTON, April 29.--In talk with n
reporter to-day about tho recent statement
of Mint Director Leech on finances secre-
tary Foster said Leech was right in the
main, although he (Foster) would have
stated 1T little differently. He would say
that some OF the $3.50, 100000 Of available
cash might be regarded NJ trust funds. 1t
@ would be correct TO say that about $40, ,000,-
ooo 10 nnquestionably available cnsh, that
H. money IN banks, subsidiary coin, trade
dolihr bullion, current cash and silver
against which no certificates we're issued.
As TO the $10o.000,OO0 gold held against
Rfeenbacks, the secretary said the govern
ment can ind will use this gold reserve if
needed on a pinch, az the notes outstanding
are legal tender. This gold should, therefore,
appear IN the debt statement as available
cash, The secretary does not agree with
Leech IN his opinion that silver purchased
under the new act, against which cettifi
Gates Will issue, ia available cash. The cer-
titcates are against that and it is in the
nature Of trust. but the profits on silver
purchases, amonnting to some $4,000, coo,
may be used. The secretary said he was
thinking Of trying to substitute two per
cents for the four and one-halfs, an Win
dom proposed. 1t it can be done there will
be two advantages over redemption. 10 be
able to float two per cents will demonstrate
tho extraordinary soundness of government
credit, and money required to redeem the
four and one-halfs may be used for the
purchase of foura, at a saving of two per
cent. of interest to be paid up to the time of
maturity.

The Chicago Grain Operator Missing
Crazy and Insolvent.
CHICAGO, April 29.-B. z. Hutchinson, the
millionaire grain speoulator, widely known
az "Old Hutch" is missing. 1t is supposed
he is demented and that his business is a
financial wreck. He left the city last night,
having purchased ticket to Pensacola,
Fla. BEFORE going he paid visits to two of
his favorite drinking resorts and in each
place announced that he wonld not be seen
again. 1t has been matter of common
rumor on the board that business mis-
fortunes had unbalanced sold
Hutoh's' mind. His always eccentric
conduct seemed increasingly erratic of late
On the board he had recently been seecu-
latinc wildly, and it was practically certain
that he lost heavily and steadily. This
morning when the news of his departure
got out, operators who had deals with him
began calling for margins. In short time,
l. Hutchinson, his youngest son, formally
announced the fact that his father was miss
ing and neither the family nor business
associates knew his whereabouts. The
house, he said. could not put up any marc-
ms. For time this announcement caused
the widest excitement ON the floor
and the market sharply declined. Various
iumors honted about, it being stated,
among other things that "Old Hutch" was

other hand. his son, while saving he thoupht
his fathers mindwas unbalanced and that
he had wandered away. did not think he
was insolvent. He is confident that every-
thing will be pnid up, dollar for dollar
Many brokers believe Hutchinson has
simply gone away on a lona-projeotea va
cation and will pretend great surprise when
he hears of the sensation. A dispatch from
Evansville, Ind, says he was seen there
this afternoon and went south on tho Lou
isville d Nashville road. He appeared very
