The Wilmington has been built Tor an

Wilmington, like her sister ship, the

distinguished American naval officer
now In China. and at one time in COM
mand Of the Monocacy, has stated the
principal requirements that such ves-
sci should fulfil to be the following:
/. Large. roomy, differentiated quar-
ters are a necessity In river work on
the Asiatlc station II proper sanitary
conditions are to be maintained.

furnished to American citizens during
the past twenty-siX years has been that
OF harboring refugees. and there appears
to be 10 apparent dimnution OF the
liability Of this necessity, either at the
present time or in the future.
g. Ii Is necessary that a vessel for this
service should be able to carry as large

ships OF the squadron in case of mob
attacks on American citizens at one OF
the many shallow ports on the Asiatic

BACK FROM MEXICO.
Don't Like the Land of the Greasers. Negroes Fed Like Hogs and
 Driven to Work Like Cattle.

The Eutaw Mirror announces the return of negro named William Johnson, who went to Mexico with the first negro emi- grant train which left here some time ago. The Mirror says:
 He is very intelligent negro, and tells straight and credItable tale of the trip, the country and the people ard things he saw. He and two others escaped after being there about month, slipping out at night and walking to the railroad, thirty miles, and as the train passed got into a box car. in which they were concealed for two days. He says the negroes are fed like hogs and driven to work like hogs The fare Is jerked, unsalted beef and beans. N meat nor bread, nor tobacco nor snuff to be had in 100 miles. Saw some bacon meat on the railroad, and they asked 50 cents pound for it. There were 776 negroes carried there, and every one over 12 years old are driven to the field at day light. he old and inhrm are not exempted at all, but all are driven alike to work. Some oi the stubborn youngsters have been severely lhrLshed, and mounted guards, armed with Winchesiers, revoivers, bowle knives and lariats, are around and tmong them day and night and will shoot any one trying 10 get away if they see them. Il @ says tha rain never falls there, and they depend on irrigation; that there are 10 ;rees nor any lining but grass aud weeds. The women and children sleep on pea hulls and Dag ging out in the open air; that the Mexicans arc building adobe houses for them. They have no whisky, but k.nd Of drink clIlea aguarciente, and hall glass Of which will make negro beat his mother,
 He reports that common jsans, Wbica sells here at 90 cents q yard, Sells there for s2.25, and common red canton hinnel, worth here 12b or 15 cents yard, sells there for $1. 70. (inis is n pretty good hint for the silveroops to quit their fool ishness.)
 He says that Ellis remained there one night and told the negroes to wriie back 10 their people that n ght aud he would bring the lctiers tack with blm. The pegroes had no way of writing, 80 they told Ellis, after giving him the names and addresses of their people, To write the letters for them-henee the favorable reports which many of them received. After Tecitipg many more things, he wound up his tale by saying he had just about as soon go to h-l as 10 go back to Mex co.
 An old negro man who went out, named HilIiard Gandy, well known here, died from the hardshIps he had toundergo.
 Johnson said further that he hasteued otck so as 10 prevent his father and mothtr from going, and he Ea1 done that and he did not care whether The negroes believed his tale or not; they could do as they pleased.
 Many of the negroes re use to believe what hc says, claiming that he has never been there ana that tue while folks paid him to come here and tell all those lies. Some, though, believe him. We ques-
 ioned him closely and his answers as to names, climate, etc., satisfied us that lie has been there and tells the truth. He gives the routes, towns, rivers and many particulars-enough for anyone to know that he has been there.

MUSICAL NOTES.

Music is now made leading feature in all the schools and colleges of Birming- ham. Some of the teachers of music rank with the best in America.
 One of the most promising pupils of Professor Grambs is Miss Mary Trlmble, daughter of MT. N. w. Trimbie. AL though yet in her teens she has develope | remarkable musical talent. She will finish her education abroad.
 The visit 10 the city of MT. and Mrs. Guchen berger has given increased interest 10 rn usical matters. All who heard them were deli ghted. A lady who had heard Paderewski says that Guchenberger ranks n xt to him. One of the selections by MT. Guchenberger, ''Chopln A. was the piece with which Professor Gram bs made his debut ill Birmingham some twelve years ago. Both these gentlemen are Ger man and their rendition had the sIme spirit.
 What a change has been wrought in Bir- minghaIn in a musical way siLcs the ad- vent of Professor Grambs. The small coterie that then appre ciated classic music has been inci eased until now it numbers hundreds. The spirit of music is rife in the community. Some idea of how strong the love of music is was seen in the great crowd that gathered to hear the Cincinnati musicians. And that they appreciated it was shown by the raptuous applause given the divine voice Of Mrs. Guchen-' berger.
