Mr.. George w Vanderbilt, who has
expended so much money in Asheville,
\. c., and who in New York is recog-
nized as among the philanthropists by
whom its people have profited, is about
to erect hotel for colored people in
the former place, and building for
lhe AfrO-American Young Mems
Christian Association, which is to have
six stores, the rent from which will
support the timely and large hearted
enterprise Mr.. Vanderbilt is young
man of great wealth, but he regards
himself as in some degree the mere
custodian Of it and that his duty is to
do all the good he can with it. Miss
Mary j. Holmes of Illinois seems to be
imbued with the same idea, for she is
nov in Mississippi prospecting tor an
eligible site on which to erect semin-
ary for colored girls at total cost of
$75, 900. Miss Holmes has met with a
hearty reception wherever she has
visited in that state, and the people
have manifested an eager desire to Sc
cond her plans in every way possible

After this week we shall be COM
pellod to drop the names Of sub
scribers, who being in arrears, and
having been notified, have failed to
remit us. This we must do for the
protection of our own interest.
While we shall be the losers, as
these are many to whom we hav e
been sending the paper regularly
yet in justice to ourself, we must
resort to this method. Promises will
not conduct an enterprise attended
with the sacrifice Of time and money
which are required to publish a
newspaper. We do not question
the honesty of all persons who neg
lect to pay up, but their neglect is
detrimental to our interests, and
they too must suffer with the dis
honest ones who are so numerous.

Phx.iognomx Wa. wrong.

A gentleman and his wife occupied
a seat in a suburban train running into
Chicago few mornings ago. On the
opposite side sat man OF command
ing figure and brow and thoughtful
expression.
"What fine countenance, James" ("
whispered the wife; l wish / knew
his occupation"
"May be he's a lawyer" volun-
teered the husband.
Not bit of it," said she; there
is TO much benevolence in his face for
a lawyer"
He may be a banker" was the
husbands second guess, as he en-
deavored to suggest some occupation
that would agree with his wife's inn
preston OF the stranger.
/" Never, never" she protested. "a
man with such heavenly expression
couldn't content himself with money
getting. His aim in life is higher than
that"
Maybe" said the husband as he
began the perusal of the morning pa
per. At the next street-crossing
where the train stopped an inquisitive,
farmer-looking sort of fellow took a
seat beside the man with the noble,
expansive brow, and was soon plying
him with questions. Among other
things he asked him his vocation.
There was one interested listener who
held her breath to catch the reply.

Facial Expression.

A mans occupation has great deal
to do with making his facial express
sion. Studies, or scholarly professions,
intellectual pursuits, when coupled
with moral habits, brighten the face
and give superior look. An unsel-
fish nature, or love of studies or arts,
will make bright pleasant face but
on the contrary, man may have a
face that does not please any one, be-
cause OF pure selfishness. II may be
noticed that soldiers get hard, severe
look; laborers look tired; reporters
look inqusitive; mathematicians look
studious; judges look grave, and a
man whose home-life is unhappy
looks all broken up. The business
often makes the face. How often We
think this man is butcher, this one a
lawyer, that one a minister, the other
doctor, and SO on. 1t is seldom
we are mistaken, for the callings show
through the faces. And who fails to
recognize the genuine farmer the
minute one sets eyes on him P-N. Y.

A KICK Agaln.. The Custom.

1t is told in Washington that the
wives OF three members Of the Cor
can Legation, being forbidden to 90
with their husbands to a reception,
concluded to kick against the Corean
custom OF secluding women and ex-
cluding them from social functions.
So they got their yellow noses to-
gether and after their husbands had
gone and had locked them in, they
escaped through a window, climbed
down over the woodshed, bribed the
Irish coachmaneto TO hitch up, and in
their turn appeared at the reception,
to the CONSERVATION Of their husbands.
Since this outbreak no attempt has
been made to restrain the ladies, and
now one OF them gives notice that she
has reception days of her own and the
Washington public is invited to come
and drink punch with her. This in
cident shows that a woman's desire to
be in it will jump over all restraints OF

The following extract is from JEFF
Davis memoirs: One >sirl, whose
sweetheart was gallant soldier in
the Fifth South Carolina Regiment,
and who had fought bravely all
through the seven days battle, made
the following earnest appeal:
Dear Mr.. President: want you
to let Jeems c., of company oneth,
5th South Carolina Regiment, come
home and get married. Jeems is
willin', l is willin', his nanny says
she's willin', but Jeems captain. he
amt willin'. Now when we are all
willin' 'ceptin' Jeems' captin', | think
you might let up and let Jeems come.
I'll make him go straight back when
he's done got married and fight just as
hard as ever"
Mr.. Davis wrote on the letter
" Let Jeems 60" Jeems went home,
married the affectionate correspond
ent OF Mr.. Davis, returned to his reg
iment, and did fight as well as ever

A state Laboratory.

Assemblyman Bell Of Nye county
has bill before the Legislatu e which
appropriates $S 900 for the establish
ment of a laboratory at the State Uni
versity for assaying ores and analyz-
ing minerals free Of charge to pros
pectors. That such a laboratory
would be OF great benefit, not only to
the prospector, but to the public gen.
orally, there can be little doubt, as il
would determine the character and
value OF ores and minerals found in
the State, and with which neither the
prospector nor the ordinary assayer is
familiar. Years ago ores were discov-
cred near the line Of Churchill and
Humboldt counties which were gem
orally supposed, from their appear
ance, TO be rich in copper, but the as
sayers Of that time were unable TO
find any Of that metal in them by the
ordinary tests. Subsequently it was
ascerained that the ores contained
nickel, not copper, fact which would
be demonstrated at once by analysis.
Doubtless there are other metals, as
well as many minerals, in the noun
tains and valleys of Nevada, the
character OF which is yet unknown,
though they attract the attention OF
the prospector because they are differ
ent from the general formation of the
country.
The only objection that can be urged
against Mr.. Bells bill is that it might
interfere with the business of private
assayers, but II proper restrictions are
placed on the work to be done at the
University labratory it will result ben
eficially rather than injuriously to the
ordinary assayer, as it will certainly
be the means OF developing valuable
ores and minerals which are not yet
known to exist in Nevada.-Reno
Journal.

An English View ofIt.

Among those millionaires whose ac-
cumulated dollars have made the
United States of America so famous
we are likely soon to have to include
John L. Sullivan, who recently for
sock the prize ring for the stage. Mr..
Sullivan's professional income amounts
to the portentous total of $1,000 per
week. Seeing that s400 week is or
dinarily accounted a phenomenal sal
ary in the profession. the figure is one
calculated to not only make the
mouths Of actors water, but also to
cause the cultured to weep over the
strange tastes of play-goers. For GER
tainly after all the talk We have heard
about the elevating influence Of the
drama, there is much irony in this
convincing demonstration that the in
telligent transatlantic public takes a
keener interest in the performance Of
bulky prize fighter than in those OF a
tragedian OF talent.-London Graphic.

He Had Forgotten Himself.

An elderly man, who knew some
thing OF law, lived in an Irish village
where no solicitor had ever pene-
trated, and was in the habit OF arrang-
ing the disputes OF his neighbors and
making their wills.
At an early hour one morning he
was aroused from his slumbers by a
loud knocking at his gate, and putting
his head out OF the window he asked
who was there.
"It's me, yer honor-Paddy Fla
herty-I could not get wink OF sleep
thinking OF the will have made"
What's the matter with the will ?"
said the amateur lawyer.
Matter, indeedp' replied Pat.

Tom Jones, a worthy colored
man, living near the northeastern de-
pot in Athens, has domesticated a
large colony OF field gray rabbits.
Tom has about twenty-five breeders,
and says rabbits are raised as easily as
chickens. They run at large in the
yard, and become as tame as house
cats. They increase very fast, and
sell readily at ten cents each for pots
or cooking purposes. There are al
ways orders ahead for them. They
grow very fast, and from one pair he
can raise more rabbits in year than
the best hen will raise chickens.
