DREAM OF THE FUTURE.
 same. shall put in pumping works in September and lay a wire screen to keep the largest of the children from falling into it and giving a chalybeate taste to the water.
 Berries have been very plenty this season, straw, black and whortle, at five cents per honest quart. They are very fine indeed, and grow in great profusion everywhere. 1 never saw a country so we'll provided with berries and small fruits. Everything in the way of fruit and colored people grows almost spontaneously here. One picka- ninny seems to call for another, as l heard a man say in Buncombe county not long since.
 And what are we to do with the race problem at the south? Everywhere hear that question, especially where there are no colored people. Hence there seems to be no more probability of race difficulty than there was when the first shipment of colored people was received from the coast of Guinea. There are no strikes where colored labor is employed. Wages are very moderate, and while a . state militia has to be called out now and then in cities where there is no race question, the south, with all her former woes, has had very little trouble of that nature.
 The cOlored man will yet prove no doubt blessing when new industries open up in the south, and with his won- derful powers of imitation and quick ness to learn all sorts of manual work he is most assuredly a safer man to em- ploy, if he could have the training, than a fire eating, disturbing, dynamiting out cast from Europe.
 hope am saying nothing that may weaken my social position, which is now the wonder and the delight of all who have examined it, but if some philan- thropist like Mir. Carnegie or Mir. Gould would start colored kindergarten for the training of young colored men in the trades, so that peaceful but de- pendent race might have job, it would make the disturbing element pay atten- tion and be great and good work ap- plauded by God and humanity.
 There is little news here in our coun- ty, except that it has not rained since l began this letter, and Q neighbor from Pennsylvania county, who agreed to sup ply us with butter from last February until our arid COW should again give milk, and who has never been here since, just dropped in tc say that he had no more milk than he needed himself, but would be glad to supply us with frogs legs next spring.
 The following item 1 take from the Skyland Advance, published at Skyland, this state:
 The other day as we were taking Q walk, a mOtherly blue hen sailed down upon us with her hair standing on end. We knocked her over with strip of bark and fired two stones at her and she retreated and talked about it the rest of the day. She mstook us for the editor of that proof sheet affair, which has had to suspend publication because they lost let- ter s, who she could run all over town.
 This shows that even in Skyland there are bickerings and jealousies among journalists unworthy the age in which we live.
 Will the class please parse the sen tence, "She mistook us for the editor of that proof sheet affair, which has had to suspend publication because they lost a letter s, who she could run all over townY
