In an article in regard to the increas

In an article in regard to the increase
of Afro American population in the
South, the Nation says: "There is un
questionably movement of Negro popu-
lation from the more northern Southern
States to the States of the far South and
Southwest, and probable also worthward
to the old free States.' We are glad to
see that the movements of the Afro
American population have begun to at
tract attention as they will explain some
of the mysteries of the last census which
are puzzling our philosophers. The
movements of the white population will
next attract attention and com plete the
explanation. We think thatit will then
be apparent that the gain bythe sixteen
Southern States of 23.lS per cent and Of
the Afro-American 10 81 per cent will be
fully explained by the overflow of white
population from the North into the
South, the loss to the North, in this re-
spect, being partially compensated for
by foreign immigration.

Mrs. F. E. w. Harper lectured at
Kansas City, Kan, last week.
Explorer Stanley's new book contains
the following description of a belle
among the African dwarfs: At this SET
Element, Ugrowwa's Station, I saw the
first specimen of the tribe of dwarfs,
who were said to be .thickly scattered
north of the Ituri, from the Ngaiyu east
ward. She measured % inches in
height, and was perfectly formed
young woman of about II, of glisten-
ing and smooth sickness of body. Her
figure was that of a miniature Colored
lady, not wanting in certain grace, and
her face was very prepossessing. Her
complexion was that of a quadroon, or
of the color of yellow ivory. Her eyes
were magnificent, but absurdly large for
such small creature-almost as large as
those of a young gazelle full, protruding
and extremely lustrous. Absolutely
nude the little demoselle was quite
possessed, as though she were accustom-
ed to be admired and really enjoyed in
spection.

The South seems about to treat the
Farmers Alliance as the whale treated
Jonah. 1t don't want any third party, it
has in many instances, repudiated the
subtreasury scheme and the recent Re-
publican victories in the North have led
it to doubt the policy of shouldering the
free coinage steal of 20 cents out of every
dollar the poor man earns. When the
congressman. elected by alliance aid
from the South, dropped "F. M. B." and
appended ed" to their names, it showed
that the South was hedging.

New York elected Democratic lower,
or lowest House, and that low House
has passed All excise bill that is just as
low as the House is. Archbishop Ire
land, who happened to be in New York,
protested against the abomination, but
without effect. Fortunately the State
Senate is Republican. and the people
who elected the Democratic mob are
looking to it for protection.

+. D. B., st. Paul-It is not in our
power to give you the name ofthe first
worker in iron and brass. Both metals
appear to have been known and used
from very remote period. From the
Scriptures we learn that Tubal Cain,
seventh only in descent from Adam, was
IAN instructor of every altificer in brass
and iron" and the Canaadites, 15OO.B G.,
are said to have used great numbers of
chariots of iron in their wars. The iron
mines of Elba are said to have been
worked from the time of Alexander the
Great, and the mines of Aragon and

the later Jewish kings, and successfully

Jessie, Chicago-We would advise you
to restrain your love for the young man
until you have positive proof that he has
given up his idle and vicious habits.
His mere promise to reform amounts to
nothing, although it may be made in
earnest and with good intent. fiat the
end of one year, he can show good
record, it will be time enough for you to
consider the serious subject of giving
your heart and hand into his keeping.
2. That he has not pressed his suit while
he undoubtedly loves you, would show
you that he possesses conscience and a
proper sense of his unworthiness. 3.
While it may be we'll for you to exert

lies in your power, withhold any prom
Use of significance until he has entirely
overcome his evil tendencies 1872. -.Es

Some one started the news that
young lady Of responsibility and refine
ment was coming to Spokane from St.

everybody and expectation on the qui

Slavery in Spokane.-One would
scarcely credit the statement that slavery
existed in the new and Tourist hing COM
monwesl1h of the State of Washington,
but from recent discoveries made here
in Spokane, such would seem to be the
fact. A little girl aged about fourteen
years came to the residence of Mis-.
Holmes the other evening, covered with
many scars and bruises. She said she
had run away from her mistress Mrs.
Judge Turner, who had shamefully mall
treated her. Upon investigation it was
found she had supposed herself a slave
and entirely subject to the will of her
"Massa and Misses" who recently came
here with her from the South. She was
never allowed to speak to any of tie
Colored people here and though often
approached, always avoided CONVERSE
ton. She gave her name as Edna
Holmes. Here is work now for the
Spokane Lea.ue.
At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon
Friday there was great commotion and
excitement on Stevens. and River
side Avenues, the two main streets of
Spokane. A large black hose closely
followed by a mounted bay came tearing
down these streets at almost lightning
speed. A small child was clineing fran
tically to the name of the black horse
ana at every bound uttered the most
heart piercing shrieks. The man follow
ing was trying to overtake and snatch
her from the back OF the frightened and
almost naddened horse. Citizens and
policemen drew revolvers to shoot the
horse but desisted Tor fear the child
would be killed in his fall AS he thun-
nered down the street it seemed mira
Gle that the child could still cling to his
back. He was finally turned into the
Central Stables" knocking the child off
as he entered upon q pile Of straw. The
little girl who was found to be Ethel
Sandeline daughter of Mrs. Moss. was
unconscious when picked up, but all the
injuries she seemed to have sustained
was fracture Of. the left arm.
