STAND UP FOR THEIR RIGHT.
Resolutions Adopted by National Col
Ored Association.


CINCINNATI, May 5.-The American
Citizens Equal Rights Association,
composed of cofored men, held conven-
ton here today. They adopted series
of resolutions, affirming their purpose to
secure the full and free exercise of every
right given them by the constitution.
They entered protest against the efforts
of few so-called leaders of the race to
induce the administration to recognize
them to the exclusion of the more pro-
gressive class, whose aim it is to work in
the interest of the whole people. They
also called the attention of the organiza-
ton to the fact that colored men were
appointed to Office mainly in the south,
where the only political service the COL
ored men can render is to send delegates
to the national conventions, and are
denied to those in the northern states,
whose votes are necessary to the success
of either party. James M. Townsend, of
Indiana, was elected president. Among
the vice presidents is Rev. ]. E. John
son, of California.

WORK OF THE FLAMES.
The Vatican Authorities Alarmed by a
Fire In the Mounted Police Barracks.


ROME, May 5.-The Vatican and gov
ernment circles are greatly exercised
over rumors in circulation in this city
about fire which was last evening dis
covered in the barracks occupied by the
carbineria, or armed and mounted po-
licemen. Notwithstanding the utmost
efforts of the soldiers and firemen the
buildings, where were qdartered the
horses of the police and the forage for
their maintenance. The rumors referred
to are to the effect that the fire was un-
doubtedly of incendiary origin and the
work of the socialist element of the capi-
tai. However this may be, it is certain
that the Vatican authorities were SO
much alarmed that they at once ordered
the Swiss guard under arms during the
entire night

ARE YOU LOOKING
 For a Home?
Do you want to accept the
 chance of a lifetime and
 purchase property now which will be worth dou-
 ble it's present value in ~ another year?

The tide of emigration has turned to- ward Arizona, intelligent people no longer confound Arizona" with terror ism, rapine and Indian massacres, but find themselves compelled to accept the fact that Arizona" is the home of the cultured and refined. Every State in the Union has contributed it's quota of their best citizens to populate this Ter ritory, and to complete the labor of those who twenty years ago began the dangerous work of establishing the new regeme. The Salt River Valley is the garden spot of Arizona, built upon the ruins of Aztec greatness, and converted into 8 veritable paradise by immense artificial waterways. It's 400, 900 acres, half of which is already under cultiva- ton, will in a few years more be the most densely populated area, and the home of the happiest and most con tented subjects of this great Republic.
 Phoenix, the capital of the Territory, containing 5000 souls, lies in the center of this wonderful valley, and is destined to be the principal city of the South west. Two railroads are already build ing here; one is already here. Persons intending to settle down and taild themselves homes should not fail [ .n- quire into the advantages and possibil-
 
 bilities of this valley. Commissioner of Emigration Hamilton in his annual re- port said of this valley: Tt contains the largest body of agricultural land to be found between Kansas and Califor- mia. The soil is one of the richest to be found in the United States. In fruits it produces:
 Oranges, Figs, S Salnuts, Quinces, Ap- ples, Lemons, Pomegranates, Nectarines, Cherries, Pecan Nuts, Lines, Bananas, Peaches, Pears, Strawberries, Olives, Aln.o onds, Apricots, Plums, Peanuts.
 "Mulberries and other small fruits and grapes of every variety.
 "Of cereals and grasses the valley pro duces the following
 Wheat, Oats, Barley, Corn, Buck wheat, Cotton. Tobacco, Hemp, Flax, Sugar Cane, Alfalfa, Blue Grass, Ber- muds Grass, Millet, Timothy, Clover, Broom Corn.
 Briefly it may not inaptly be termed a beautiful oasis which stretches be- tween the corn fields of Kansas and the groves and vineyards of Southern Cal ifornia."

SHEPHERDsTOWN. W. VA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 16 1891.

Il remember it was night in early
fall that Boyer, three others and my
self sat down in the back room yonder
to play few games of euchre. Just
before We sat down the landlord
glanced out of the window there.
"'Hullo, a new moon. and saw 1t
over my left shoulder. l won't have
any luck tonight
I'VE played along until it got TO be
almost midnight, and We dealt for the
last game. As the clock in the hall
struck twelve Boyer picked up his
cards. The next second he sprung to
his feet. with a look Of terror shall
never forget. He cried out, almost
shrieked, the name Of the heI's daugh-
ter. and fell back in his chair dead.
"Of course, we were all paralyzed
with horror for a moment, but, re-
covering, we hustled about 10 do
what we could We summoned a
doctor at once, but he was OF no use.
The landlord was dead-dead un-
doubtedly of heart disease, the doctor
said
"A few minutes after 10 that night
the inmates OF house half a mile up
the road yonder, towards the cross
roads, were aroused by some one
knocking violently at the door. The
person who was knocking proved TO
be Barbara. the he1's daughter. She
was pale as ghost, and a. soon as
she could find her voice she
startled the family by exc aiming:
i have killed Mr. BoyerI
Thinking the girl was out of her
mind, the family tried To soothe her,
but she dec ared that she had seen
him fall dead as she drove a nail into
paper at the ash tree to lay witch,
according to her mothers instruc
tions, at just 10 o'clock that night.
She told what Boyer was doing when
she saw him drop dead in his chair.
He was playing cards, she said.
As soon as ! struck the nail saw
him He called out my name so that
it rings in my ears yet! Then he fell
dead
"AlI this came out at the inquest,
which was held the next day The
post-lnortem showed cUnclusively that
Boyer had died Of disease OF the heart,
but Barbara and her mother declared
then and ever after that the witch
was in Boyer's heart, and that the
nail Barbara drove had been buried
there. There were few people in the
place but what shared in that same
belief, and the popular verdict was
that Boyer's death was just. And
Hex Freitcher became q greater hex
than ever. This is why her death has
made so profound al impression in
the village.
How do you explain that strange
occurrence? There 10 no doubt Bar
bara saw Joe Boyer as she said she
did. Did Joe see her when she struck
the nail, and know his fate!'

explanation of the uncanny affair. Is
there any one who could7

Facts About Diamonds.

The worlds stock Of diamonds has

fifteen years. In 1876 the output OF
the African mines was 800 900 csrats.
last year IL nearly 10000 earais
and the syndicate which controls all
the principal mines asserts that IL has
10. 900. 900 carats in sight Meantime
the demand for diamonds has greatly
increased. and they are higher ia
price than they were year ago. In
one respect the diamond industry il
different from almost all others. Its
product IL never consumed. Of gold
aud silver a much larger amount

THE TONGUE.

"The boneless tongue. so small and weak,
Can crush and KILL" declared the Greek.
THE tongae destroys a greater horde"
The Turk asserts, than the sword"
The Persian proverb wisely saith:
"a lengthy tongue, an early DEATH"
Or sometimes takes this form instead:
Don't let your tongue cut of your head"
"The tongue can speak a word whose speed.
Say the Chinese, "outstrips the stsed."
While Arab sages this impart:
THE tongues great storehouse is the heart. -
From Hebrew wit the maxim sprung:
Though feet should slip, ne'er let the
tongue"
The sacred writer crowns the whole:
"who keeps his tongue doth keep his SOUL
