Colored Rev. c.. A. Taylor, d. D., for
merly a member Of the negro Republican
Executive Committee Of New York, and
now general financial representative Of
Vile. Fla, is a very sensible sort of man.
He declares that he is totally opposed to
the terms "Afro-American" and "coiored'
as applied to his race. Says he: Down
with the nonsensical hybridisms Afro
American and 'colored' Negro Is the
proper term lie is right. Negro means
a black man. and the "Afro-Amerlcan,"
so called, should no more object to being
called by that name than a white IA
does to being called white.

fine swimmers, and the sight was some
thing very impressive. Hundreds of the
grand, shaggy fellows were shot in the
water. Sometimes they were killed, but
often they hoated down stream wounded,
or scrambled ashore to die in the under

SUPERIORITY OF CHRIST.

Everything in Christ astonishes me. His
spirit overawes me and His will confounds
ME. His ideas and bis sentiments, the
truths which He announces, His manner OF

human observation or the nature Of things,
His birth and the history Of His life; the
pro:undity of His doctrine, which grappleii
tbe mishtiest difficulties. and, which is o.,
those difficulties the most admirable solu
tion; His gospel His apparition, His
empire, His march across the ages
and the realms--everytbing is fol

plunges me into reverie from which I can.

Safety of Fast Trains.

says he, sis known to be an exceedingly,
fast train, and every one keeps out OF it's
way. At Knightstown, for instance,
where our fast trains pass through at
nearly sixty miles an hour, no one has ever
been hurt. The people know the train
cannot be stopped in second and govern
themselves accordingly. It is in towns
where there are slow ordinances that the
people are hurt. They know the trains
are compelled to run slow and take their
time about getting across the track. The
experience Of railroad men is that fast
trains are the safest. In the event OF
cattle on the track it is better, too,
to hit them hard than easy.

when we ran into flock of sheep. The
animals were huddled together around

rise. I thought sure we would be-
thrown from the track. The engineer
put on q full head of steam and struck
the flock at great speed. The engine
threw the sheep to one side like chat.
