II were delegated by a supreme
power to carry the gospel OF education
to the Southern negroes l would say
to them. "The first lesson for you to
learn Is that you are inferior to the
white man. The next lesson is that
II you undertake to be a white man
you will fail In everything. Be ne
gro, and be proud, honest, steadfast
one, willing to learn, patient to en-
dure. Understand the very fact that
you are now inferior to the white
man must be your greatest stimulus
to effect. Time was when the white
man used flint axes and lived In caves.
Your state is immeasurably better
than that. Lay the lesson Of history
to your heart. Success is in the long
run, not In the squirt. Second lesson:
The white man owes you nothing,
and il he does he will not pay 1t.
Moreover, II you try to dominate him
he will destroy you. This may seem
hard, but it is the law OF life. The
white man is where he is because he
earned the right by centuries Of cease
less work, war, self-sacrificc, indomit-
able pluck. You must patiently go
the same slow road up the hill to his
eminence. Third: The white man is
not your enemy, no matter what bru-
tai individuals may do; he desires to
see you succeed and will help you do
it If you help yourself, and accept
your place in the progression of des-
tiny but he will not retreat one inch
before you or give up to you one
thumb nail space OF the area that he
has won in his own long battle for
breathing room. What yon get you
must honestly earn, just as he has
r earned what he now is.' Slavery was
wholly cause to the white man, but
to you it was not wholly cause. You
are far beyond your African kindred
in Congo. Do not forget that you are
/, free now, and that freedom does not
, mean license; it does not mean 0p-
portnnity merely to outvote the white
a people and to rob them of a rule still
rightfully theirs. Theirs is still in

Most of the poultry books tell me
that eggs "set" under hen should
be often sprinkled with warm water
unless the nest is directly on the
ground. Fanny Field, the noted
poultry woman, says in Farm Poultry !:
"Well, l used to think 1t necessary to
sprinkle eggs that were set anywhere
except on the ground, but later had
new revelation on the subject OF
moisture-the old hen told 1t, and l
didn't sprinkle any more-neither did
l put the traditional "sod" ip the
bottom of the nest, and the eggs
hatched Just as well as before"

He Perspired Blood.

Edward Dunn, 81 years old and APP.
parently perfectly healthy, went to The
Chambers Street Hospital, New York
Saturday, blood exuding from the pores
of the skin of his arm and face. He said
he must have lost much blood, but
wasn't weakened by it.
Dr.-Taylor was puzzled over the phe-
nomenon, and said he hardly knew how
to treat it. There was evidently nc
artery severed. las the blood did not squirt
out violently, as it would have done
in that case While the doctor was
trying to decide what he could do fol
Dunn, the curious flow stopped of itself

turned to work.
superintendent Lake, Of the hospital
told a Heau7d man that Dunn's ailment
was exceedingly rare and that he might
enjoy the distinction of figaring in medi'
cal annals as one of a few sufferers from
what is generally known as petechial
hemorrhage. ut is really an exhuda>
ton of blood from the pores of the skin.

accepted explanation of the Precipitation

columbian Souvenir Coins.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 Mr. Ellsworth
yesterday called at the Treasury De
partment and paid to Acting Secretary
Curtis $40, 800 TO defray the expenses OF
transporting and recoining the souvenir
coin undisposed of by the commission
The amount to be recoihed, it is stated
is 81 700, 600, and the object to be attain.
ed is to enhance the value of those now
in the hands of the commission. The
commission requested Secretary Car
Isle to recon the % and so cent souvenir
pieces at the expense of the government
but this he declined to do, and notified
the commission that unless it bore the
expense of the recoinage he would issue
the souvenir pieces at their face value
This would, of course, reduce the value
of the souvenir coin in the hands of par
ties who purchase them on speculation
and the commissioned fastened Mr.
Ellsworth here to make the necessary

The Way She Makes Her Fine
Mipcemeat.

The Way She Makes Her Fine
Mincemeat.
The wife of EX-Gov. Fitzhugh Lee, of
Virginia. is lannon's house-keeper, and
this is how she makes the mincemeat
for her Thanksgiving and Christmas:
2 pounds of beef, 2 pounds of currants,
2 pounds of raisins, | pound of citron,
2 pounds Of beef suet,1 pounds can dried
lemon peel, 4 pounds of apples, 2 pounds
Sultana raisins, 2 pounds sugar, nut
megs, grated. ounce of cloves, ounce
of cinnamon, ounce of mace, tea
spoonful of salt, lemons, juice and rind
2 oranges juice and rind.
Simmer the meat gently till tender,
and when perfectly cold chop it fine.
Stone the raisins, shred the citron, pare,
core and chop the apples. chop the suet
fine. Mix the dry ingredients then add
the juice of the oranges and lemons
pack in stone jar, cover close and keep
cool. The mince meat will keep all
winter.
The rule is an old one, and is said to
have come from the Curtis family in the
beginning. According to Virginia ira
dition the widow Curtis, who became
Mrs. Washington, made famous mince
pips

Making New States.

Bills have been introduced in Con-
gress for the admission of three new
States-New Mexico, Arizona and Utah
They have been fayorably reported from
committee, aid that relating to the
admission Of Utah has been under dis
cussion in the House Of Representa-
tives.
In one sense there has been unseemly
haste of late years in admitting the new
States of the great West to the Union,
and wisdom has counseled more than
once that it would be well to wait few
years before allowing the territories to
rush into the condition of Statehood be-
fore they were fully prepared for that
important step. But the voice of wis
dom has dot prevailed, and one after
another the States have been admitted.
until only few of the territories re-
main.
Under the circumstances, therefore,
taking into account the fact that the
admission of the remaining territories
will annually appear to trouble the
smooth current of legislation, they
might as well be admitted and the bust
ness closed up once for all.
Naturally, the greatest doubt centres
in the admission of Utah to the Union.
1t has the traditions, if not the incubus
of Mormonish. True, the twin relic Of
barbarism" has been declared dead by
no less a person than a President of the
United States, still there are indications
that it is very lively corpse. Many
people will conscientiously oppose the
admission of Utah into the sisterhood
of States SO long as there is a possibil-
ity sof the Mormons controlling the
local government of the new State.
Intelligent Americans outside of Utah
woull not consent to the creation of
IL commonwealth in the Salt Lake
Valley which should be dominated by
the repulsive principles enunciated by
by the alleged revelation of Joseph
Smith. 1t would not suit the spirit of
American institutions.
But there is reason for the opinion
that Mormonism has not only lost much
med in and surrounded by Genties I'M
til it has become a numerical minority,
and it is believed by those conversant
with the facts that the government of
the State of Utah would be inevitably
in the hands of progressive Gentiles, as
the municipal government of Salt Lake
City now is.
The question involved is delicate
and perplexing one, but it is a question
whether the admission of the territory
into the sisterhood would not have
tendency to break down still more the
barries which have kept society in Utah |
from association with the progress of
the Nineteenth Century.

was raised by the Democrats of Wash

any corrupt practices.
Mr.. w. w. Archer, of the State, said he

had read. The position taken by his
paper was that these rumors justified an
investigation,
Mr.. W. L. Royal was put on the stand
and said he could give the committee

Judgment, be important evidence Mr.
Royal was not allowed to testify but
was asked to give tie names of persons

for Mr.. Merdith proved to be a very

HERDING MINERS.

Yesterday the Missouri Pacific road
brought in from the west seventy
Colorado miners. They were Ell route for
the coal mines of McAllister, l. T., and
were travelling at the expense Of that
road. Before the train arrived Superin-
tendent Russell Harding summoned Chief
Cons to his office aud as the train was to
remain two hours in the city, asked him
to herd the miners and see that none OF
them got away. Chief Cone did so in
manner that was altogether
agreeable to the railway company,
for they could hardly afford to
ct the men get away from them here
after hauling them such a long distance.
When the miners struck the city they
were ravenously hungry and it required
Gully about fifteen minutes TO clean up
every free lunch in town. Some OF them
met some acquaintance here and proceed
Ell to get drunk at their expense as they
had no money themselves. A CANVASS was
made among them before arriving in the
/ city, and il was ascertained that all the
mony in the crowd was S1.50 or cents
per capita. When the time came

escaped, however, and are still in the city.

and represented every nationality under
the sun that pretends to do manual labor.
I To an EAGLE reporter one OF them said:
Colorado has 80, 600 men out OF work.

LOOK OUT FOR THIEVES.

Eight of the alleged Colorado miners
that came in from the west yesterday

Four OF these. according to the statement
of man VINO knows them, are very sus-
suspicious to say the least To be very
plain, the gentleman says they are no
miners at all but genuine slippery thugs
who would much sooner rob house than

4 large portion OF Justice fuckers time
Yesterday was taken up with the hearing
Of the evidence in the case of the state OF
Kansas against Ike Narney and Tom
Arnold. These two men were tried on the
charge Of gambling, the prosecuting wit
ness being Z. L. Jones. Jones, 1t appears,
had two or three hundred dollars which
he took out of local bank and then pro-
ceeded to run against a banking house
that never breaks nder any circumstance.
He played 5looded game aud lost some
thing in the neighborhood OF 500 at
Varney's place. To change his luck he
went over to another Institution and
planted the balance of his money there
Having thus planted his cash he
found it necessary 20 employ

services of Bentley s. Hatfield Mr.. Bent
ley is alleged TO have gone to the gamblers
in question to persuade them that II
would be cheaper TO return Jones his
money than to have the existence OF their
franchise to gamble jeopardiz=d, but 1t

was that Mr.. Jones filed a complaint
