In the West Indies one OF the char-
actcristics of an Intelligent cook is tho
care with which he or she will sec to It
that n papaw tree Is growing within a
short distance of the kitchen door.
The fruit of tho papaw, says tho
Pittsburgh Dispatch, if large and we'll
grown, is not to DO despiscd as a break
fast dish, and It's rich. golden flesh is to
many much more palatablo than that
of the popular melon. But the attrae-
tivencss of the papaw for tho cook con-
sists in it's 'loavcs, which possess tho 10
marhable property of rendering moat
tender. Tho toughest bcefstenlr or the

BLACKS OF THE SOUTH.
An Observer Gives Some Interesting
Views OF tho Changes Among Them.

An Observer Gives Some Interesting
Views OF tho Changes Among Them.
n colorcd preacher In Brooklyn, who
watches tho movements of his race,
holds that there is no Likelihood of any
extensive migration of the colorcd peo-
pie OF the southern states to the north
ern, says the New York Sun. a few
Thousand come every year to this state
from tho cities of the southern sea-
board; some go from Virginia and Ken
lucky to the states lying north of them,
and considerable number in the Gulf
states have been anxious to settle upon
the lands newly opened In Oklahoma
But it is doubtful whether the annual
migration from nll the southern states
Is as high as one hundred thousand. The
reports received by the preacher as to
the progress of tho colorcd people of
the southern states at this time are en-
couraging. The majority of them, who
have been born In freedom since the
close of the war or were cmancipatcd
in carly lifo, have acquired habits of
self-rcliancc which their cnslavcd an
cestors did not possess, and in several
states are as we'll educated as tho
whites. The new census shows that In
North Carolina the proportion of col
ored children who attend school Is rs
large rs that of white children, and in
Virginia it Is but little less, while the
reports from most of the other states
IRE good.
The preacher argues from the growth
of prosperity in the southern states that
time has now fully proved that the
colorcd people arc possessed of industri-
Gus habits, and that the notion prcvu-
lent in slavery time that they would
never work under freedom, has been
disproved by the experience of Il quarter
of u century. They raised the crops of
cotton, sugar, tobacco and cereals ms
they did before the war. Colorcd me-
chanics were few in number under
slavery, but now there are tens of
thousands of colored workers In skilled
industries.
The colorcd preacher also speaks with
pride of the fact that among the colorcd
people in the south there is now u body
of excellent scholars, who have gradu-
ated from various institutions Of learn
ing. They exercise an clcvating infu-
ence, and arc'very useful as teachers
Finally, tho colorcd preacher refers
to the interesting fact that there has
been change in the speech of tho col
ored people of the south, and that tho
'Sambo dialect" Is going ont of exist
cncc. A large proportion of them
speak the English language as we'll as
it is spoken by other people, though
there are parts of South Carolina and
the Gulf states whore the plantation
lingo still holds It's ground. The change
has been brought about by the school
ing of the new generation.

missionaries to preach the Gospel and
nothing but the Gospel among the saw
ages was oil wrong; that both the hero
ism and the martyrdom of these pio-
nccrs of Christianity were entirely
wasted, and that if any material good
were to be achieved, 1t could only be
done by means of radical change.
With this purpose in view, he has
founded the order of tho Warrior Monks
of the Sahara Instead of meckly bow
ing their heads to receive the martyrs
crown, they will fight for their lives.
They will seek to attract sympathy and
goodwill by developing the productive
ness OF the GASES, and by the creation
of new ones, where they will form sta
lions for the relief of the sick, for the
offer OF hospitality to all corners, and
for the refuge and protection of fugitive
slaves. Their aim will be to afford
practical demonstration of the benefits
and advantages of civilization, to preach
by example the elements thereof, and
to thus prepare the ground for CONVEX
sion to Christianity. The latter, III
though the principal object, is the last
in order. For Cardinal Lavigerie pro-
poses that instead of prosclytism pre-
pairing the ground for the seeds of
civilization, it is the elements of civiliza-
ton which arc to prepare the ground
for the seeds of Christianity. Civiliza-.
tion will act as forerunner instead Of
following In the wake of the gospel.

NORTH CAROLINA POLITICS.
Democrats Afraid of tho Third Party-A
Negro Movement.

WINsroN-SALEM. Sept. 8.-[Speoiall-
Politics in North Carolina are some
what mixed up. Tho Democrats are
afraid of the Third party movement be-
ing mado by the Alliance, while tho
white Republicans ara not resting easy
over tho threats of the colored voters.
The indications are now that tho cam
paign OF 1892 will bo quito interesting
in this State.
The following circular which has lust
been issued by the colored voters is in
teresting reading and shows that thew
are planning for the next campaign.
I'VE shall meet as Republicans and
devise means, if possible, to infuse new
life into the Republican party, SO as to
draw to it good and respectable white
men, who will prove q tower of strength
and at the same time deal out Justice
10 tho colored men, and assure them
mat the Republican party is their best
friend.
Many of our white friends, so called,
met at Asheville recently to build up,
as they said, ProtC ctionist party in the
State. All over tho State they are get
ting themselves together in little knots
mere and there, especially at night, plot
ting how to undermine and neutralize
the Negroes power in the party. This
would not be so if there were no offices
to be disposed of.
The Asheville convention had a
double meaning. First, it was to for
mulate secret opposition to the negro,
and second, to effect an organization in
the State to boom Blaine and elect dole
gates to the national convention opposed
to the nomination of President Harrison.
Tho time has come when the 100, 900
negro Republicans of North Carolina
must assert their rights and make their
power felt. We do not desire to lead
but only wish to be fairly dealt with by
those whom we have placed in power.
We ask nothing moro and will be salts
fled with nothing less"

The department Of Vermont G. A. r.,
has held many large and enjoyable encamp-
ments but in the language of Commander
in chief Veazoy that which opened Tues
day was the largest delegate encampment
ever held in Vermont. The hotels were all
crowded the night previous with Grand
Army veterans aud members Of the corps,
hut the morning trains brought large adj
ditious to the number of visitors and the
noon trains added still further to the dimen
sions of the crowd.
The council of administration of the de-
partment met at the Americas House at y
o clock for the purpose OF receiving the
credentials of the veterans and preparing
the roll of delegates. The council consisted
of Comrades T. T. Farrell of Waterbury,
ID. h. Morgan of Rutland, \. o. Gates of
Morrisville, 5. W. Cummings of st. Adams
and NJ. j. Sargent of South ROyaiton. The
council were kept busy during the entire
morning and over $50 credentials were re-
ceiVed and as many names added to the roll
in addition to those taken at other intervals.
One of the first events of the day was tlc
fourth annual meeting of the Vermont AS
socation of Union ex-Prisoners of " ar,
which was held at the American House at .
o'clock, resulting in the election of prac-
tically tine old hoard of officers, The

national and State platforms to try to
right this wrong. 1t had the opportuni-
ty to accomplish this during the present
Congress- lit fals--as is now probable
to improve it, the opportunity will not be
likely to come again in hurry.
That the democrats should fight the cleo
tions bill was to be expected. They know
well, none better, to what an extent their
present and prospective power in the nation
depends on chicanery, fraud and intimida-
ton of voters. That they should have sue
ceeded in arraying against it, not only the
mugwumps always their thick and thin allies,
but the great mass of honest independents,
the religious press, the Farmers alliance,
the silver men, the mcrcenaries of all
parties, and many honest-minded citizens
who do not like ballot stuffing, or shot
guns, or false counting of votes, as regular
parts of the political machinery of the
country--is truly surprising The latter
class have been deceived by the gross, un-
firing and outrageously false denunciations
Of the measure on the part of its opponents.
SO bill was ever worse belied. 1t is no
more force bill than any other law; but
its opponents 1t is described as an arrange
ment for driving democratic voters from
the polls by United States bayonets; as n
plan for carrying elections in the Southern
States, not by votes but by dishonest parti-
san returning boards. The very wrongs it
is designed to correct have been ascribed to
it and it would he hard to imagine any
thing bad that could he said about public
measure that has not been said about this
Falsehood and prejudice appear to have
carried the day against it. OF course the
long delay in bringing the matter to a de-
Cisve issue in the Senate, has told against
the bill. If it had been pressed to n vote
during the first session of this Congress,
| under a closure rule-such ms the Sc nate
will yet have to adopt Or else abandon all
| pretense of ma iorty rule in that body--it
would be now law and would enable the
republicans TO 90 into the next national
campaign with fair prospect of breaking
into the "solid South and with much
greater chances ot national success than
now seem to be possible. That very grave
| possibilities of disaster to the republic may
be involved among the future consequences
of the failure of the effort to secure repub-
lican government in a large section Of the
Union can hardly be denied but it is not
necessary to recito them to-day.
