THE NEGRO.-NORTH AND SOUTH.

Miss Susan B. Anthony's asser-
tion that the ''colored people re
ceive no better treatment in the
north than in the south, " is simply
a statement of indisputable fact,
So far as this treatment is harsh
and unjust, it is discreditable to the
civilization OF both north and south,
That is no worse at the one than
at the other is, of course, no justif-
cation for either region if the treat
ment be bad.
At the north, however, there is
less provocaticn to unjust discrim-
ination against the negroes than at
the south. Here they are compare
lively few in number, and the race
question as an actual or imaginary
source of danger has no existence in
any mind, Negro domination is not
a possibility near or remote. At
the south the negroes are many,
The constitute an important part
Of the population numerically, and
in some of the states they are in the
majority, as, for instance, Misss-
sippi and South Carolina, 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that there
the whites should use measures to
prevent their using their superior
numbers to obtain political control
and that, accordingly, distinctive
color line should be drawn, and
drawn sharply. Nor is it possible
that such discrimination should be
made against the negroes without
some harsh consequences in other
directions, AS a rule, however, the
southern negroes are as well treated
as any laboring population in the
world. The feeling of the whites to-
ward them is friendly, and the rela-
tions between the two races are now
generally respectful and consider
ate, The impossibility Of social
intercourse and intermiXture is as
complete here as there.
The negroes at the north are com
PEELED to keep by themselves social
ly. Usually they are obliged to live
apart, Houses to which they are
admitted are prevented from obtain
ing white tenants, The admission
Of colored children to public schools
is likely tomake trouble everywhere
throuahout the north, The case at
Rochester referred to by Miss An
thony, where a colored scholar was
prevented from attending a school
entertainment because of the preju-
dices Of the white pupils, is only one
instance out Of many of the kind
The colored people are usually col
lected in churches by themselves,
Prejudices against working in assc-
citation with them exist, White and
colored servants have to be kept
apart, A colored man in a public
Office Is no more tolerable by the
whites of the north than by those
Of the south,
Hence, all except a very small
part Of the negroes remain at the
south, They prefer it, not merely
because of its climate and they are
accustomed to its life, but also be-
cause, on the whole, they are less
the victims Of injurious prejudice
! there than here, II New York Sun.

They are all explaining now as to
the lack Of pressure at the fire over
on Rose Hill One gentleman but
ton holed the reporter Of the Tex

"You don't look exactly like an
idiot; neither does your name indi-
cate that you are reasoner on
question of pressure in regard to
water and it is this question ] want
to enlighten you on, When the
fire was discovered in the dry house
Of the Central Coal and Coke Com
pany's plant, the company rushed a
line of hose to every plug in the
yard; which plugs were fed by a four
inch pipe and each hose had ca
pacity Of retaining a four inch
stream, which, when multiplied
means 16 inches escape for the wa
ter, from a four inch pipe. How
could you expect a stream to be
thrown al any distance2" Contin-
uing our instructor said; Had
a single line of hose Of 81 inch ca
pacity been attached to one OF
those plugs, the pressure would
have been sufficient to reach any
height of building in this city
Now said our new made instructor
in "pressures," you may know
something about pressing, (bricks
for instance), but when you deal
with water pressure you don't know
a little bit" We tumble, and yet
this FIRE question is still unsettled

HOLD UPON ETERNAL LIFE.
DR.. McKIm Says 1t Can Be Secured
by Loving God.

DR.. MCkim Says 1t Can Be Secured
by Loving God.
"The hold upon eternal life" was the
teaching of Rev. DR.. McKim sermon at the
Epiphany Church yesterday morning. The
text was taken from the first epistle of
Paul to Timothy vi: II and IL, t'But
thou, o man of God, flee these things aud
follow after righteou sness, godliness,
faith, love, patience, meekness;" and
Fight the good fight of faith; lay hold
upon eternal life"
'.Oi man of God, lay hold upon eternal
life," said DR.. McKim, by obeying God
and abiding by the commandments of the
Holy book. We may lay hold upen eternal
life by obeying Gods promises that have
their fulfillment in part in this world.
l mean the promise OF forgiveness OF sins,
the promise of peace and the promise of
eternal life.
MANY look upon the commandments OF
the Billie as a yoke, compelling them to
worship God. Looking at this in the
right light and obeying God is not bondage,
! but liberty, joy, salvation and eternal love.
what object has this to US? Sundry
and manifold are the changes of the world.
joys and pleasures do not always last,
youth and all will at sometime fade.
Beautiful they may be and bilssful for
1
beset them. Life is just like the changes
of a season.
why, then, my brethren, do some of us
believe in pessimsm? Is not life worth
living? Live by the love of Gods COM
manGents; have an eternal purpose
planted in your soul aud then life will be
worth living and pessinism will cease
to exist.
"Observe a portion of petrified wood;
its shape is preserved, yet life is extinct.
This is but small example of eternal life.
The love of God cannot die. Is dust aud
ashes all that is left of life? Nc, no. if
man has loved and believed in the COM
mandents of God, the Kingdom of God
will be his.
Death does not destroy life. 1t only
destroysthe scaffolding andform aud leaves
the soul to ascend to God. Let man look
in the face of the Master after Gods COM
| mandents have been fulfilled and He will
say to him Well done'"

GLORY OF sELF-sAcRIFICE.

1t Is the Supreme Law of Human
and Divine Action.
The Rev. G. Parsons Nichols, ID. D, OF
Binghamtou. N Y, yesterday occupied
the pulpit Of the New York Avenue Pres
byteriau Church. For his sermon DR..
Nichols took s his text. whatsoever
will save his life shall lose it, and whose
ever will lose his life for Ny sake shall
find it." He said in brief:
"This great paradoxical sayiug, so
often on the lips of the son OF man, contains
the central truth OF Christianity and
solves the problem of the consecration OF
life 1t enupciates the Ia " of seIf-sacrifice,
the law of Jesus life, and, therefore, the
fundamental law Of the life of the Church
and the life OF the individual Why cannot
each one of us live for himself? Why
must we, in order to save our own lives,
yield it up in the ca use of others?
Let US try TO answer the question.
The law of Self-sacrifice is founded upon
two facts. 1t is based, first, on the
unity of manhood Two words express
our condition from the cradle to the
grave-dependeuce and obligation We
live by others and upon others.
''There is q second deeper foundation
of the law OF self-sacrifice. 1t is laid
In the fathomless depths of the nature OF
God Himself Sacrifice is an clement OF
the life which God is living yonder in
Heaven, which He has always lived there,
and which His Son manifested on earth.
Remember that every misery Of life
comes from want of self sacrifice Re
member that yonder everything will be
measured, at last, by the amount Of self
sacrifice Involved in doing it, Remem-
ber, though you forSet everything else,
remember this Chri st died for you;
Christ lives for you; Christ loves you aud
Will save you if you viii be saved by HIM,
through His power and self-sacrjfIce."

ADAM And HIS ANCESTORS
Rev. DR.. Hugh Johnston Takes Issue
With the DarWinian Theory.
Nothing In Prehistoric Man to Show
that He Was Constituted Differ
emily from the Present Race.

s'And God created man in His own
image" was announced by Rev. Hugh
Johnston, d. D., pastor of the Metro
politan Memorial Ii. L. Church, as the
text for yesterday mornings discourse.
Ills theme was Adam and Prehistoric
Man. his sermon being the second on
Genesis in the light of criticism and re-
cent discoveries.
There is an effort being made" said
DIR. Johnston, Ito establish the fact of
purposeless creation, but Darwm's own
self-respect is lowered by his theory. We
can not by philosophic reasoning supplant
the Deity. Matter comes first, then comes
life
There is between living and non living
a wide difference. The bridge is i'm
passable, and Prof. Herbert Spencer knows
il. Who can explain the phenomena OF
vegetable life, even?
God did not say, Let the earth bring
forth man. but Let US make man He
gave man life and impaired To him a share
of His own dignity.
I'm all the researches of science as to
the age and origin of man, avn glad to
say the evidence Is all on Iae side OF the
old Bible narrative.
discoveries OF the remains of pre-
historic man, of the bones, the i'm
plenIents show that man " as constructed
as men are now, and OF all that has been
unearthed the kull attracts most attention.
because OF the evidence afforded Uf brain
power The ize OF the brain is proof that
human beings of the earliest prehistoric
age should not be placed oD a level lower
than the present.
''Their S kill in fashioniBg implements
is another evidence against tae theory
OF the agnostic Until new and more con-
yincing facts are discovered we must
conclude that man appeared upon The earth
suddenly, as perfect as now.
1.-The highest type of animals in all
the depOs its discovered shows that no
ape approximates the grade nj man. They
are TIL in the same high grade. The high
es capacity OF the brain of The ape is not
one-half the grade of that NJ newborn
child. The difference between the lowest
grade or mans brain capacity and the
highest OF the ape species is sixty mine
cubic inches.
1.-The skulls found Of prehistoric man
are OF fair average, and some afford proof
that they might have belonged to phiioSO-
piers No theory can successfully explain
by evolution the possession ~ man OF the
moral and intellectual attributes not
found III the brutes, and il is a Just COR
clus1on that no man with Z soul could ever
come forth except by crsasiou.
