Good Counsel to Cnlnred PeopIe.

Cardinal Gibbons is an able, wise.
and good man, and he gives the colored
people wise counsel. To colored con-
gregation in Washington recently he
said =
''After ali is done and said" he con-
tinued, 'the colored race will have to
depend on its own exertions for its ulti-
mate. development. No amount of
fostering and coddling will do it, and
the race, which is now 100000 strong
in this country. will have to strike out
for itself and work out it's own future.
There is no use to talk or think of the
fostering care of a paternal govern
ment. | thank God that this is not a
paternal government. Here we have
the true liberty that every man should
crave. Liberty is not only to speak
your mind, to vote for the man you
want. and to get your share of'the off
ces it is more than that. There is no
true liberty where the rights of religion
are not regarded. This also we have
here, thank God, and each man can
stand beneath the flag of his country,
protected under it not only his life and
property, but in his moral rights and
freedom as we'll"

Jack the Jiaut Killer

The child's story of Jack, the Giant
Killer furnishes a striking illustration
of the efficacy of small agencies to
wards the suppression of great evils,
when judiciously used. The daring
exploits of brave little Jack remind us,
in their results of the wonderful
achievements of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets in battling with the giant,
Disease. Relatively, the proportion
between the youthful hero. and old
Blunderbore, is apparently not greater
than that between the little Pellets
and the relentless monster which preys
upon the vitals. Yet, the pellets"
come off conqueror of constipation,
sick headache, biliousness and kindred
ailments every time. If you are suffer
ing from either acute or chronic dis
order of the digestive organs, try this
sure remedy.

Hon. B. johnson Barbour died on
Sunday at his residence near Barbours-
vile, in the 74th year of his age, leav-
ing a widow. two sons and three daugh-
tiers. He was talented and cultured
gentleman. a fine orator and converse
tionalist. He was elected to Congress
in 1866 but was not allowed to take his
seat as the State was still under recon-
struction law. In 1879 he was elected
as debt payer to the Virginia Legis-
lature, and sat for one year in the AS

Der of that house were marked by
eloquence and patriotism.

Visitors of the University of Virginia,

also, up to the time of his death, a
member of the Miller Board of Trus-
tees of the University.

F0Gtball or CHi!age Which!

Imam article under the caption above,
the Norfolk Landmark, in speaking of
the Football game says =
sit is admitted everywhere that
there are exhibitions of violence and
and brutality, which should rule the
game out of all respectable college
sports and which do make it menace
to society. It is demoralizing, for 1t
generates bad feeling and bad language
and bad habits. 1t destroys or duIs
the finer sensiblities, not of the play
ers only, but of the spectators, men
and women. 1t cultivates taste for
ugly behavior, for rough conduct, and
familiarizes polite cars with ungentle-
manly speech. Il has tendency to
absorb the interest and attention of
young men who are sent to college to
study. 1t subordinates dialectics to
athletics. 1t decries oratory and
sneers at debating societies. It ele
Yates the physical over the intellectual
and spiritual. 1t produces DULLES and
toughs often instead of gentlemen, and
being altogether carried to excess it
degrades university into a practice
shop for wrestlers and prize strugglers
to the injury of the minds and bodies
of the alleged students and to the
financial injury of the parents who
pay the college expenses.
There is one final thing which can
and will be done to control the colleges
if they do not control the game. The
people can quit sending their boys to
such institutions and in our judgmen,
the time is rapidly coming when this
measure will be taken.n
Portability I2deI-Appedls say
the fact that the New York depart
ment thought it necessary to regulat,
| the Yale Princeton game Saturday anC
to be present in order to prevent an,
display of bru tality on the part of thu
players is a very striking commentar,
on the most popular sport of the day
The game as now played is too rough
The list of manned and injured in th,
past month is simply appalling, and i
seems that the best thing that can b.
done is to interdict the sport until til,
rules are revised and the bruta
features are eliminated.

G10O Reward. 500.

The reader of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Cat&rIh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutionaI treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in IFS curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to-
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

The Coming Encyclical.

ROME, Dec. 1, 1S94.-The Pope is
busily engaged in revising an encycli-
cal to the bishops of the United States.
Contrary to the custom usually obsery-
ed in these cases, the document has
been composed almost entirely by His
Holiness himself, without assistance
from any quarter.
From an authentic source | learn
that the principal object of the encych
cal will be to render the Apostolic Dele
cation permanent the Delegate being
invested with larger powers
In the encyclical the Pope defines the
position and attributes of the Delegate.
Mgr. Satolli's mission is treated of at
some length, and it's full success and
the advantages that will accrue from it
to the Church and to American Catho-
lies, are set forth.

BARN BURNED.-The barn belonging
