Sport.
What is it that gives life to cock
fighting and induces men to go tc
great hardships, inconvenience and ex-
pense to witness it?
Cockfghting does not involve the
contest of trained animals, as does
horse racing or any other form of
sport in which men meet each other.
1t does not follow either that the birds
taking part in the contest are all
cocks As a matter of fact, in most
mains the majority are hens.

WHEN you go into the doctors Office,
the medical man is seized with the
same sort of cunning that takes hold of
a merchant when you enter his store
he wants to do business with you. He
wants to see you take your pocket
book out, and he wants some of the
money it contains. That IS his bust
ness; he is simply human. like the rest
of us, and wants his business to pros
per. Therefore what he says is liable
to be tinged with selfshness. The i'm
preston that doctors are philanthro-
pists who study medicine simply for the
good they may do humanity, is only
entertained by extremely foolish peo-
pie. In dealing with a doctor, you
must use as much Judgment as in deal
ing with a horse trader.

When one discovers slang of the low
est order in a journal which is hab;tually
high-toned and digni6ed, it produces q
most painful impression. The express
sions occur in a quotation, is is true,
from a monograph by Mr.. VIM. Draper
Lewis of the University of PENNSYLVANIA,
but it seems strange that a journal like
the National Baptist would admit to its
columns, even in that shape, an article
containing the following: Every dar-
key, and the majority of the white trash
of Tennessee, the Gulf and South Allan
tic States, keep from one to six hounds
long, lean, lank, hungry beasts. The
Old South is kept from being the great
est wool and mutton producing section
of the United States; not because the
climate is severe or the land poor, for
both are eminently favorable, but be-
cause of ignorance, Incidence, darkeye
and dogs. The cur is the bane of sheep
raising in the South, but the cur is the
result of the character of the people,"
A man possessing such high apprecia-
ton of the value of sheep and euch n
tempt for humanity is moral !eper and
should be secuted as such, not applauded
by christian journal.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1891.

The National Baptist says: "The Col.
ored people will obtain the recognition
to which they are entitled. not by voci-
ferously clamoring for it, but by raising
themselves to such degree, intellect
ually, morally, socially, financially, that
it can not longer be denied to them.
The very instant the Colored people &C.
quire money, so that their trade becomes
valuable, people will take steps to secure
their trade; the moment they occupy
such station as to make it an object,
the railroads and hotels will give them
every facility and accommodation. !"
Our brother need not congratulate him
self that he can fool the Colored people
so easily. He is no doubt weary of our
continual coming" as certain proto-
type of his was in days of yore, but he
need not cry peace when there is no
peace. This is government of vocifer-
GUS clamoring and the Colored people
don't do one hundredth part as much as
they should. Their trade is valuable
now, very large proportion of the rail-
way traffic is with them, but instead of
this securing to them every facility and
accommodation, it seems to invite scorn
and contempt. 1t is very discreditable
to the Colored people that they do not
clamor more vociferously.

Speaking of the progress Of European
and-Rrabbing io Africa, a leading news
paper says: English agents have al.

with the chiefs of Bornu, and are even
now negotiating with Wadai and Bagir.
mi. With these latter States, however,
they have not made much progress
The chiefs and people are the most fam
atical in all Africa. and it seems almost
impossible to convince them of the good
faith of Europeans, or of the desirability
of entering into friendly relations with
them" These poor benighted creatures
ought to read history. They should
read how benignly Cortez and Mexico,
Pizarro in Peru and the other settlers in
the Americas treated the natives and
how desirable the latter found the
'friendly relations to be. Then they
would not be so fanatical, they should
be informed Of how many scores of mis-
slonaries and how many thousands OF
gallons of rum we are making ready to
send to these, and they would repent in
sackc'oth and asht for their incredual-
itv.

the truth of the assertion. The church
becomes bulwark of any evil it does
