SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Dec. 10.-The
destitution existing among the inhabitants
of Durango and neighboring Mexican
states, on account of the drouth and the
total failure of the crops, has reached such
a serious state that the government has
been compelled to provide food to keep
the people from starving. The governor
of Chihuahua has ordered 100000 bushels
of grain from the United States, which
will be distributed at minimum cost, or
free to those who have no money. Thous-
ands of the lower classes, who are natur-
ally thriftless, are on the point Of starva.

Queer ISrOtherIy Love.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 10.--A good many
Of the colored men and brethren OF the
Quaker city are beginning to wonder
whether they have any rights that their
brothers, who are more fortunate in the
matter of complexion, are bound to re-
spect. Quite recentIv, there has been a
legal Interpretation of the will OF Girard,
the once eminent philanthtopist, to the
effect that colored children are not eligible
to the privileges of Girard college, on the
ground that Girard set clearly IN his Will
that his bounty should be extended only
to poor white male orphan children. On
top OF this, comes the action OF the COM
mon council in refusing to place colored
man upon the committee appointed TO
arrange for tie proper representation OF
Philadel phia at the exhibition OF the lib
erty bell at the Worlds fair, the action of
the council being based upon the argu-
meut that it would be bad precedent to
accord special privileges to any man, just
because his skin happened to be black,
and that lrishmen, Dutchmen or Italians
might with equal justice claim similar
rights. There is talk among some of the
leaders of the colored men, without dis
tlnction OF party, of calling a mass meet
ing for the purpose of protesting against
what they regard as q desire to discrimi-
nate against their people. Ii there Is one
city more than another in the country
they say, where nothing should he heard
OF color line, it is the Quaker CITY.
