The Hametic Race.

Rev. Benjamin Brown, Presiding Elder of
the African NJ L. Church, resident in Hag-
erstown, lectured in Union street Church on
Friday evening the 9th ult., on the "Race
Problem or ''what shall be done with the
black man. Curious to know what an intel
ligent colored man would say on such a sub
ject, the writer was present. In the first
place, quoting from Fred Douglass, he said
''let him alone" He was here not by his
own choice, but he was here to stay. The
talk about putting the negroes by themselves
was impracticable. Where would they put
the 100000 colored people in this country?
And if they were put by themselves he would
not stay with them, for they were unfit to
govern. They were ignorant and uneducaied
although more than quarter ola century had
TRANSFERRED since emancipation. He counseled
his race to educate themselves. and said that
the negro was coming" He counseled
them also to take care of their girls, the hope
of the race was in their women. He told
them to be frugal and industrious and to "get
money" Money would make them as white
as any white man in the land. He charged
them to behave themselves with proprieiy
everywhere, and they would be respected; to
lift themselves up by education, industry, fru
galty and good conduct. His advice to them
was excellent, but he did not get at the pith
of the trace problem He struggled with
the bred Scott decision and Judge fancy, and
with the Constitution, but he was evidently
beyond his depth. What is to be done with
the colored man in America, is a problem yet
unsolved, and will so remain for years. But
it will be solved. We are firm believer in
that divinity which shapes our ends, rough
hew them how we will.

On Tuesday morning Cyrus Feeser, of this
place. started for Hanover to bring load of

the wagon. While doing so the team started
in n run. After running about three miles
they where captured at Uriah Arters, on

The new train shed of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, at Jersey City, New Jersey, was
opened this week, and it is one of the archi-
tectural marves OF the world. 1t has the
largest unsupported roof of any building in
the country, the span being 256 feet, or nearly
so feet larger than that Of the Grand Central
Depot, in New York city. The length is G52!
feet and the extreme height 10 feet. The
four sections of glass in the roof required 90,
600 square feet of one-quarter-inch rib plate
glass, costing about IA cents foot.
In the train shed $3.50 tons Of iron were
used. The floor space is four acres. The
area of the main waiting-room is 80 by 1895
feet. Adjoining it are the necessary ticket
offices, toilet rooms, restaurant, &c The
passengers can pass direct to the new double
decked ferryboats.
The estimated cost of all this new plant to
the railroad company is put at 81 ,0O0,00
which includes the new grade tracks, boats,
bridges, &c. 1t has completely transformed
the aspect OF the Jersey City terminal. An
other benefit is the removal of all further
danger of accident at the Jersey City street
crossings by the elevation of the tracks above
the grade level.
