There were some cattle with the army,

were to be slaughtered.

ring, and fell to skylarking and firing
our pistols at the cattle as they ran
hither and thither. It was all laughter
and shouting. Suddenly, without the
slightest warning, sound that we had
never heard before rose above the clamor
1t was sort Of whirring howl, lasting a
few seconds only, but long enough to
strike terror into our hearts. The men
who had been as gay and noisy AZ school

NOTES BY THE WAY.

During sojourn of ten months in the State
of Arkansas, llabored with the Afro American
and studied most carefully his progress and his
present condition. This has been called pro-
gressive age, and i'm accordance Herewith the
colored people of the south, despite the numer-
Gus obstacles that are thrust in their pathway
by those around them, are making progress al
most increditable. While the AfrO-American
is making progress in every way, he must not
be unmindful of the fact that he is i'm the rearand
that only push, energy, perseverance and
knowledge, will bring him to the front and
abreast of the times. The state of Arkansas has
recognized the progress of the cOlOred people
and is doing much to aid them. A good sys-
TEN of public schools has been established in
the greater part of the state. The Normal
schools for the benefit of teachers free to all
persons over the age of 16 years. This is a great
help to teachers and an aid to southern
progress. Although dark clouds oyershadow
their prosperity and obstacles lie in their path
way, the way is gradually becoming more clear
and the aspect more hopeful. We shall yet be
proud of our southern brother and be glad to
acknowledge the relationship. Institutes
and Normal schools are being established and
teachers are rising to higher grade of intelli-
gence The time has been when the teachers
requisite was reading and writing. but
that day is fast disappearing even in the Sunny
South. Ii the entrance to the pulpit was more
difficult to reach and honesty and adherence to
the path of rectitude and morality, minister
ial necessity, the progress of the race would be
SO rapid, that even those who have been blind
ed by years of prejudice would be forced to ad-
NIT the fact
Upon my arrival in Alton was delighted to
find several improvements and to see the Bluff
City presenting the appearance of prosperity
and thriftness but regretted to find the color
ed people discouraged to an extent The
churches do not seem to thrive, and thus
gloom rest upon these good people. Oh! for
pure and christian ministry. A worthy writer
has said -
Religion is the best armor man can wear,
but is the worst cloak
Religion is too often the cloak Why2 Be
cause the entrance to the church and ministry
is not vigorously separated from the world of
sin. A change must come When the minis
try is elevated to the level it should occupy, our
race will then deserve and receive commenda-
ton from all sides.-PEDRo.

The democratic candidate for
congl ess-man-at-large, Hon. A. j.
Hunter of Paris, is seeking the aid
of-people whom 27 years ago he
voted to continue in slavery. We
are safe in saying that Mr.. Hunter
will not receive colored vote in
preference to Richard Yates or Mr..
Wlllitts. His record is against him
SO far as the colored man is con-
cerned. We refer our readers to
Lusk's politics and politicians of
Illinois and they can judge for
themselves the attitude Mr.. Hunter
held for the down-trodden race.
