The New England Torchlight, published in Providence, R. T., is bright sample of what is and can be done in the journalistic line by our brethren of the Afro-American race. It is bright and clear, it's editorials are pungent and every time to the point and it's news columns replete with the latest information of the day. From thil weeks issue we reproduce tho following concerning some New Haven Afro-Ameri- cans:
 It is gratifying to see how some Afro Americans are beginning to wake up and hustle for little homes of their own, the most recent of whom are Messrs. Samuel Nixon of Greenwood street, who has just erected beautiful house with the most improved modern convenienees, bathtubs, gas, electric bells, etc., at . cost of some $3,000. Our friend ''Sam" is getting there in the restaurant business, and with his partner, James Nanton, has a large grow ing business on State street; then A. R. Dixon has recently purchased an excellent piece of property on Goffe street, while MT. George Jefferson and his indefatigable wife are turning into gold lot on Winter street, seventy three feet front.
 Then, again, Afro-Amerieans arc begin ming to launch out into independent enter prises, among whom are w. H. Ransom, confectioner; James Stewart, restaurateur; George Hooper, confectioner and fruiter; Sorden, ditto; Messrs. Randolph & Saun- ders, house-cleaning business, both hus- tiers; Horace Johnson, ditto; Garrison Johnson, clothing business, buying, sell ing, cleaning, with everything alive on the Potomac, and many others.
 Brethren, wherever we may live let us hustle, save our small earnings, build up small independent enterprises, buy little homes for our wives and children, respect ourselves, command the respect of others, remembering that all true prosperity is that upon which God can smile, and soon there will be mighty frightening of skies that leads to purer and better manhood, for "every man, after all, is the artisan of his own fortunen

: FROM NEPrUNETo HxmEN.

IA White Man Rescued by . Mulatto
 Girl from Drowning at Newport Last
 Summer - Married in This City
 Thursday Afternoon.
 A marriage occurred Thursday afternoon in this city about which is connected quite a vein of romance. The contracting par ties were Dr. Charles w. Gregory, an Eng fish veterinary surgeon who has been quite successful in his practice here, and Miss Elizabeth Coe, very light mulatto young woman, the second daughter of Sidney Coe of 127 Cedar street. The doctor has known her for the past two years. As is learned from one of the sisters of the bride, last summer they were both at Newport, R. l., and while in bathing the doctor, in some way or other, was in danger of drowning and was rescued by the prompt and brave action of Miss Cos. who succeeded in bringing the drowning man in safety to the shore. From that time the doctor be- gan paying the young lady marked stten, lions, and when they were separated kept up a vigorous correspondence.
 \ About four months ago Dr. Gregory came to this city from Boston to practice | and a wedding was the result The license | was obtained from the registrar several ! days ago and stated that he had been mar ried twice before.
 The marriage took place at the brides l home on Cedar street as mentioned and | was an extremely pretty affair. The cere- | mony was performed by Rev. MT. Meserve The bride was tastefully arrayed in an auburn colored satin gown, wore hand some diamonds and carried handsome boquet of flowers. Her sister Hattie acted as bridesmaid.
 l The couple left for an extended wedding
 trip, stopping the first night at the Allan
 tic hotel in Bridgeport. They will reside
 in Boston. The presents were many and
 some very valuable, including $5OO
 check from the brides father.
 Dr. Gregory is fifty ght years of age
 and formerly was g veterinary surgeon in
 the English cavalry and graduated from
 well known veterinary institution in that
 country. He has frequently spoken of his
 doing work for the horses of the royal
 family Since his advent to this country
 he has made Boston his headquarters. The bride is 6 very attractive women
 and would hardly be taken to be of Afr
 can descent. Her father, Sidney Coz, e,a few
 years ago became heir to a considerable
 fortune left him by some sisters in Cali
 fornia, and about which Judge Sheldon
 was sent out west to investigate.

 Stocks opened fractionally lower, but a mater al rally followed which, only the coal stocks and the industrials were prominent, the meeting or sales agents being the moving cause Tn the strength displayed by the former. The gains in these shares reached over one per cont, but the list barely recovered the opening and early losses. The gold shipments then met the rising market and the tendency Of prices was down. ward throughout the remainder Of tho day with slight rally only in tho last hour The advances in all the strong stocks of the forenoon were nsutraAzed except in. Delaware and Hudson, which ii the only stock to show any material improvement for the day. The losses reached 14 per cent, but in most stocks were confined to fractions The late rally was induced by cover ing, but the close was still heavy at near the lowest prices.
 There was tho usual insignificant trading in railroad bonds, but the temper Of the market was reactionary and still losses resulted, the fluctuations being on the same limited scale as the business which amounted to only $6sl, ,Ooo. The dealings developed absolutely no feature ei interest.

Really n Wonderful Institution.
 Few of those who visit the Barnum & Bailey circus have definite idea of the magnitude of the enterprise controlled by the two leading showmen of the world. It is town by itself, larger than many that have established municipal governments. Messrs. Barnum & Bailey have 200 persons on their payrolls, and their arrangements are so perfect that in twenty-four hours they can travel 150 miles, put up and take down the immense canvas tents and give two performances and a parade, besides allow ing amplo time for rest and food. The performances are as elaborate as they can be made, and the spectacle ''Nsro, or the destruction of Rome," is far beyond the reach of anything before attempted under canvas, and is actually of such enormous proportions that no building in America is esarge enough to contain the half of it.
 iSnowmen or few years ago would have secuted the idea that such . feature could be added to a trayel;no- exhibition. These facts explain why the organization and the two Americaus who manage 1t have attracted much attention
 both in America and Europe, Messrs
 Barnum & Bailey have planned an exhiM. tion which is not only without an eonaI in its line, but which will, by it's very maoni- tude, prevent rivalry and imitation. it ia the morden circus, as unlike the old saw dust show as the electric light Is unlike the tallow dip.
