An Excellent plan.

Senator Leland Stanford seem to
have hit upon a plan which may
largely aid in solving the negro prob
lem for the South. In fact, the scheme
has already borne good fruit. Land has
been set apart for the negroes in Cali
fornia, andimmigrants have been given
small holdings on which they can
support themselves and families, with
the option OF making payment in cash,
produce or labor, as they choose.
Several thousand negroes have been
induced to settle upon these lands and
have done well. The scheme is now
to be enlarged, and it is hoped to Sc
cure 40, 900 immigrants during the
coming year. For this purpose 10000
additional acres have been set apart
and the Rev. r Benjamin is
to be sent among the negroes
to secure recruits. This is un-
questionabIy the wisest colonization
scheme yetdevised, and it is in marked
contrast to the wild and reckless plan
Of sending the negroes to Liberia,
whether they would or not.
That the negroes came from Africa
is true. but that was a long time ago.
Most of them are dead. we believe.
now; or. II not, they ought to be. To
hold that the American negro of to-
day is an African, is one Of the wild
est chronological dreams ever heard OF.
The only sensible thing to do in the
premises is to recognize the fact that
the negro is here to stay, and that IL
is the white mans duty to make the
best citizen possible of him

Women seven rect High.

Bradford has more tall, slender
women than any other town in the
universe of it's dimensions. About
seven feet is the average height. But
they are just as pretty as the short
variety. 1t is merely q case of sweet
ness long drawn out" We imagine
this tall species of woman is peculiar
to Western New York and North
western Pennsylvania, where every
thing seems to have a tendency to
attenuation. This could no doubt be
explained on the evolution hypothesis
as being due to the evolution of en-
~vironInent. Suffice 1t to say that had
the kangaroo inhabited the Western
prairies and lived on grass, instead OF
roaming over the sandy deserts,
reaching up to feed on the foliage OF
the tall palm, its neck would have
been as short as the buffalo's. But
we digress. Tall have ever
been admired by artist and poet.
Tall, stately, handsome-I hate a
dumpy woman" says Byron. in de-
scribing one of his beauties. and there
are many who take the same view OF
it.-Bradfo7d Era.

A wild Proposition.

The International Congress now in
session at Christiana, Norway. is GER
tainly a remarkable though hardly a
representative body-unless it be con
sidered as representative of eranks. 1t
yesterday formulated the astonishing
proposition that criminals should be
punished not in proportion to their
crimes, but by fines based upon their
position and wealth. Anything more
preposterous than this can not well
be imagined. Under such a code
Mr.. Vanderbilt could be mulcted in a
million dollars while Richard Roe
might get of with a nickel though he
had stolen a million dollars, provided
lie had got rid of the plumber before
detection. OF course there may be
some atom of good sense concealed
about this proposition, but upon the
bare and meagre statement made by

would, so he grabbed up and gave her

Sure enough, she screeched like a

Like a moss rose, her love sheds its
delicious perfume over her husbands
heart and home. She loves for the
sake of loving, and where she has
once given her heart there it stays,
and all the personal abuse and bad

object of her affection only use her
to worship him with increased devo-

But there are some things which a
