Chicago Negroes Wrought Up.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-In response to a call to arms addressed to the colored people of Chicago over 200 negroes assembled at 800 State street at o'clock this morning. The call indicated an intent to send men and arms to aid the colored miners at Spring Valley in the war with the Ital- ian miners. Two speeches, councilng moderation and action within the law, were made. One by clergyman named Dickey was listened to respectfully but impatiently. Another by lawyer named Waters nearly brought the latter to grief at the hands of a suddenly or ganized mob. The numerous speakers who used threats and counseled violence against the Italians found their hearers in full sympathy with them.
 A telegram was then sent to Governor Altgeld saying that 800 negroes would leave for Spring Valley at 3:30 D. m. to help their brethren if he did not send them assurances that he would protect their colored people now in danger there. They asked for an immediate answer.
 None was returned, however, and a press dispatch from Springfield says the governor intimated that he would not pay any attention to the demands made to him by the colored people for troops at Spring Valley A demand made by the sheriff of the county where the troubles existed, or any person with au- thority will likely be honored.
 The demonstrations of the negroes have attracted the attention of the Ital- ian consul here and he has called upon Mayor Swift to prevent the proposed ex- petition The mayor replied that if the negroes wished to go to Spring Valley he could not stop them, but he could pre- vent the gathering of mobs in the city,
 nl instructions were accordingly issued to the chief of police. The latter detailed q number of his men to watch the negro colony on the levee. He does not believe the expedition will materialize.
 The meeting practically went to pieces after the telegram had been sent to the governor this morning, and this after noon only dozen negroes were hanging around the hall.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

A farmer dropped two grains of corn
In the cold, dark earth one April morn.
Together they sank in their cherries bsa.
And the earth fell lightly overhead.
"Oh, cruel fatel" cried one in fanr.
what evil chance has brought ms here!
1t is not meet that such as
Lie in the earth to w tste and die.
Within this stone a nice dry shelf
Invites me to take care Of myself"
The warm sun shone, and the soft rain fell,
The grain in the earth began to swell.
The wise one cried from its snug |rnt:t::t:
"How prudent am II No rain nor heat
Can reach me here. I'm fair az at first,
While you, poor thing! look ready to burst.
You W II duty to yourself
There's room for two on this dry SHELF.
Come out of tho earth so close and wet,
Perhaps you may save yourself even yet"
MAY" answered the other one from tn,
earth,
"Only from pain and death comes birth.
OF such as wo spake the Holy One,
Except 1t die 1t abidoth alone,
But if II seed of common grain
Die i'll the earth, its death il GAIN
So let mt yield in patient trust
To the hand that laid me in the dust"
~September's fields stand brown and sere,
Now comes the full corn in the car"
This grain that died in the darlIs1me mold
Has yielded more than "a hundredfold,
White that which cared for itself so well
Lies alone In the earth, an empty Shell.

Ivory Dust.

Ivory dust for jelly is sold in London
at sixpence per pound. 1t is the waste
which results from the manufacture of
ivory into various articles, and a work
shop will accumulate, according to
amount Of output, from five to six
pounds of dust in a week. The proper
tions are one pound of dust to a quart
of water, boiled for eight or ten hours.
The product is a clear jelly, which is
strained and favored to taste or diluted
for the purpose Of soup.
But the stock of elephant ivory is dy-
ing out substitutes are used largely i'll
| place of it. There is vegetable ivory,
the seed of a low growing palm in
South America, each seed about the size
of a hens egg, and various artificial
worries, a compound of c%aoutchouc, sui
phur and some white substance, pipe
clay, gypsum or oxide of zinc, or, more
simple still, a mixture of skimmilk
and borax, which, compressed, forms III
to a cream colored block, and may bt
used in place of native African ivory
which it closely resembles.
Thus even when the elephant become
as extinct as the dodo, ivory jelly ma!
still keep mp, if rot add to, its reputa
tion. London Letter.

Those who love to watch the opera
lions of nature will fluid much interest
III observing how the locust leaves the
case i'll which it has lived for II years
III the earth. One who watched them
thus tells his story:
"Naturalists say they come out only
in the night. For almost two weeks l
watched them nightly, and they made
their appearance an hour before sun
down, increasing in numbers until
dark. Crawling by thousands through
the grass and over the bare ground in
their brown casing, which they are
about to throw off, they are often GOV
cred with mud. Ascending weeds, posts,
fences aud frame work in droves. and
particularly trees, they fix themselves
to the bark and on the leaves. At this
timo they encounter many enemies, as
chickens, hogs, squirrels and birds are
very fond of them. Our cat was seen
every evening watching in the grass,
seeming to relish them as a dainty.
Zone evening | secured seven on one
branch and witnessed the operation of
their new birth by 1amplight. They
were some time running up and down
selecting IA position. Once fairly fixed
the back part Of the head 0 becomes
smooth and glossy, as if stretched to its
Utmost tension. In five minutes from
the time of settling in position u longir
tudiDal fissure appeared, showing d
threadlike white line where the split oc-
ours, OH the back Of the head, extending
finally from the first joint, connecting
the proboscis Oh forceps to the body
joint, half an inch III length. In three
minutes more the head had pressed it's
way out. Gradually the fore legs were
withdrawn from their sockets-say in
n minute.
"Then tho whole body swung slowly
backward, head down and feet outward,
suspel ed with an occasional tremor,
as if trying to extricate the hind part
and legs. When it had hung for three
minutes, it then very slowly, like an
acrobat, brought its body up to the orig
inal position, withdrew the hind legs
and body, and in two minutes more
stood outside the pupa skin in full form,
an inch long, of a white, waxy appear
ance, with red eyes like rubies. The
wings showed only as a mass Of cramped
up white film. In a minute the wings
had grown to three quarters of an inch,
by measurement; in three minutes to
one inch and in six and a half minutes
to the full size Of one and a quarter
inches in length and half an inch in
breadth. In 20 minutes the whole proc
ess was accomplished. The yearly 10
Gust would be as we'll worth watching"

1t is a little remarkable that the G. A.
K. has never yet held an annual encamp-
ment in New York city. The reason is
that no great effort has ever been made
to induce them to do SO. 1t is from New
York city that most of the nabobs hail
who call the veterans "bummers. It
does not seem that many of the rich
men of New York even wore the blue, or
they would have more decency toward
those who did. They or their fathers
were probably at home making money
off the government while the ones who
are now veterans did tho fighting and
got hard knocks and poor pay.

who are not enamOred Of the wheel,
the wonder IS. says our contemporary,
that the railway companies did not re-
fuse long ago to haul free as baggage
vehicles that have become such strong
competitors Of the suburban railways.
The bicycle enthusiast Of course, can
see no reason why the railway compa-
MES should decline TO haul his wheel
as baggage when he himself has paid
his fare. But the railway companies
know that the man with the wheel
has no, bought a return ticket Hence
the contention that the wheeling craze
has decreased the passenger receipts
on the suburban trains.
The PRONUNCIATION Of the order in mid
winter. when very few wheels are in
use. was a clever stroke on the part
Of the railway companies, as it VIII
not encounter the determined Opposi-
ton that would be presented in summer
when the wheeling pastme is at It's
height. 1t IS doubtless the expectation
that the opposition viii gradually wear
away as summer approaches.
Whatever may be the merits Of the
controversy between the railway COM
pauies and the wheelmen it is apparent
that the status Of the bicycle as a vehi-
Gle is becoming fixed. Instead Of being
a part Of a tourists personal accoutre-
ment e is his means of conveyance,
the same as any carriage. The courts
have already decided that it IS vehi-
Gle. and upon this decision certain
rights on the public highways have been
accorded the wheelmen.
