language our friends do not understand a

woman stepped up to stay their progress; then

Guides at yesuvius.

A correspondent writes from Vale di
Pompei: "The death of the Brazilian
journalist in Mount Vesuvius has rather
damaged the reputation of the guides,
but it is unjust to blame all the guides
and their agencies. 1t is true that some
of them are unfit to accompany stran-
gers, especially in times of eruption, and
even the permit of the police is no Sc
curity that the excursion will be safe
one. But the chief fault lies with the
travellers themselves. The guide who
accompanied the Brazilian correspond
ent has been regularly authorized to
conduct visitors for the last four years,
and was considered no inexpert guide.
"But, as have often had occasion to
observe, foreign visitors, and especially
English young ladies, rebel against the
cautions of the guides and often run
and jump about OH the very edge of
danger. 1t is therefore difficult when
some accident happens to define the re-
sponsibility of the guides. They are GER
tainly not to blame if the people they
conduct will not listen to them. Lon

Negroes I'm southern cities.

The st. Louis Republic sees in the ten.
dency of Southern negroes to flock to
cities and towns source of serious evil
to them as well as to the public at large.
1t not only depletes the rural districts OF
labor, but by overcrowding urban COM
munities is prolific of destitution, disease,
and crime. Many negro men in cities
who could be useful tillers of the soil
says the Republic, do not hesitate to live
ON the scanty earnings of women, and
become idlers, drunkards, and gamblers
Children born of those who have sunk
to the lowest level of the social scale are
tainted with the diseases of degradation
and "die of these diseases, rapidly de-
veloped by neglect and semi starvation
"a fact which accounts for the relatively
high death rate among the colored popu.
lation of cities. There are, of course,
many intelligent and worthy colored
people in the towns and cities, but it can
scarcely be denied that there is very
large percentage who would be better off
had they remained in the country. The
condition of the mass in the cities, in the
opinion of the Republic, is not to be
compared in point of morals or of value
to society with that of the negroes Of the
agricultural regions of Missouri, of Ken
lucky, of Tennessee, or of any other
locality where the males are SO subject
to the influence of an educated public
opinion as to be forced to support their
families. In the cities they are isolated.
Only the police pay any particular atten-
ton to them. In the campaign years
they are sought out by white politicians
and voted, but otherwise they are al
lowed to indulge their strong inclination
to segregate themselves. As rule, the
white people who would like to do some
thing for their elevation are too ignorant
of their disposition and habits to reach
them. This ought not to be so, and prob
ably it will not continue, for certainly
the Darkest Africa of the great cities is
lower Africa than that to which benev.
olent America has sent so much money
for missions. After awhile, perhaps,
the colored people will find out for them
selves that their opportunities of leading
well ordered, comfortable lives, and OF
rearing their children to respectability
and good habits are greater in country
than in town, and the evil will gradually
be corrected to greater or less degree.
1t is doubtful if anything could be more
fatal to them as race than the present
drift to the cities.
