The Negro in the North.

Every now and then facts come to
light which prove that Republican love
for the negro is all theory andn no prac-
tice. They love the negro very much
when he is away down South. bull they
don't want to come in contact with him
in their own homes.
Look at Massachusetts. The Repub-
lican legislative caucus, Zone hundred
and thirty one members), nominated
for the Senate Henry Cabot Lodge, the
champion of the Force Bill, professed
friend of the negro. One might sup
pose that these 131 members were spe
cial friends to the negro race.
Well, they had an opportunity to
prove it. There were two candidates
for Sergeant at Arms. One was white
man; the other was a negro. The white
man got 1870 votes. The negro got one.
Here is another case. The citizens of
West Liberty, Ohio, the State of Fora
ker and Mckinley, ordered ali the ne
groes to leave town. And they had to
go.
If such a thing had happened in a
Southern town it would have been
cited as an instance of mopstrous race
prejudice and Southern harbarity to-
ward a prosecuted race.
1t is notorious, however, that such
things do not happen in the South
Southern men treat negroes kindly.
The negroes show their appreciation
of this fact by remaining in the South.
Comparatively few of them migrate
northward. They are learning more
and more to estimate at their true
value the honeyed professions of Re-
publican politicians.
The time is rapidly approaching
when the Republican party will lose its
grip on the negro race. Already that
grip is losing its power. The negroes
did not turn out with their old enthu-
siasm to vote for Harrison last Novem-
Der.
Whites and blacks can live together
in harmony in this section if let alone
by intermeddling mischief-makers.-

PARTY BEFORE PATRIOTIsM-The
Louisville Courier Journal says
"There does not appear to be any good
reason why the proposition to improve
the currency should have been made a
party question All parties are dis
satisfied with the present situation
All admit that it is intolerable. If tn e
House is deliberative body, if its de
bates are anything higher than ma
neuvering for position at the next cleo
ton. a measure to reform the currency
deserves above all others to be consid-
cred on it's merits. and even the opposi-
ton to it ought to be benevolent. The
attitude of the republicans makes it
perfectly clear that they care nothing
whatever for the credit of the govern
ment or the interests of business, but
only for the furtherance of their own
and their party's political fortunes. 1t
is equally evident that they do not be-
lieve that it is necessary for their own
welfare to consult the interest of the
public"
GARFIELD's PRoPHEsY. The Bos-
ton Post says: 1t is significant, es-
pecially in view of the fact that so
many blatherskites are continually
harping on the ingratitude of the re
public in the matter of pension and re-
senting any attempt to expose and
punish fraud, that twenty years ago
for time there was decrease in pen
sions. When this falling off began the
total was much more than 100000. 900
less than we are now spending. The
highest point of pension appropria-
tions reached during the decade after
the close of the civil war was 1874. 443,
S95 in 1871, and beginning with 1875
there was for four years steady de-
crease. the annual figures running $780,
456 216, S2S.257 1886, $27, 1858 1852 and $27,-
1877 019. Thus was indicated the pre-
diction of General Garfield, as chair
man of the committee on appropria-
tions, June %. 1872 We may reason
ably expect that the expenditures for
pensions will hereafter steadily de-
crease. unless our legislation should be
unwarrantably extravaganza
THE ORIGIN OF THE EARRING.-It
is a strange tradition among the Ira
bians that earrings came into use in
the following way: When Pharoah
summoned Abraham and reproached
him for his untruth lin saying that
Sarah was his sister Abraham prayed
for the King, and Allah healed the
King, who now gave Abraham rich
presents. and among others an Egyp-
tian slave named Hagar. She bore
him son. whom he allied Ishmael.-
But Sarah was barren, and more
jealous since the light of Mohamed
shone on Ishmael's forehead. She de-
manded of Abraham to put away
Aor hA, 10 md
cided until commanded by Allah to
obey Sarah in all things. Yet he en-
treated her not to cast off her bond
maid and her son. But this so ex-
asperated her that she declared she
would not rest until her hands had
been imbrued in Hagar's blood. Then
Abraham pierced Hagar's ear quickly
and drew a ring through it, so that
Sarah was able to dip her hand in the
blood of Hagar without bringing the
latter into danger. From that time it
became a custom among women to
wear earrings.

Peanuts.
LITTLE FALLS,

All boys and a good many Of their
sisters are fond Of peanuts. Everybody
knows that no circus is complete with
out them, but probably not many boys
or girls either know just how they
grow. The peanut is supposed to be a
native Of Africa, where it forms the
chief food of certain regions, but it is
found, too, in South America and
Europe, the species varying in the diff
ferent countries. Here in the United
States it is cultivated chiefly in Vir-
ginia, North Carolina and Tennessee.
The seed planted is the meat or kernel,
and care is taken not to break the skins.
The plant grows like vine, and the
nuts hang on it like pea pods. A single
vine will, it is estimated, produce about
100 nuts if it is of the average good
condition. At this rate the yield per
acre is 40 bushels.
Three varieties Of these nuts are
grown here-the white, the red and the
Spanish. They are readily distinguish
ed, as they have individual characteris-
tics. The next time you eat peanut
with two kernels very white, with pink
skins, you will know it is Of the white
variety, which is the most important.
The she'll Of the red nut sometimes
holds three or four dark kernels, and
it's skin is of a decidedly dark red, so
you cannot mistake that, while the
Spanish nut is so much smaller, with a
lighter skin than both of the others,

Nearly 5000, 900, Of bushels Of peanuts
