MANCHESTER LETTER.

The Alumni of the Colored High
School held on last Friday evening a
grand reunion. Their ranks were in
creased by fourteen as intelligent boys
and girls as ever were weaned from the
wings of their alma mater. At a sea-
sOnable hour the chitchat and tete-a-
tete gave place TO a grand march which
ended in placing each alumnus and his
alumna with invited guest before "a
lUxuriously furnished I shaped table.
Space will not permit us to give the
menu but there were delicacies to ap-
pease the whims of the most delicate
epicurean. When the machinery of
masticatiOn sighed for rest, master of
ceremonies, Prof. James II. Blackwell
granted a respite by calling on Rev. A.
Binga, Jr to respond to "Our future !"
The DR.. spoke as usual with the meas
ured caution Of gray hairs. VIM. II.
Hughes, Jr A. B., our Medical stu
dent at Leonard College, North Carroll
ma responded to "Old Virginia" He
made an eloquent talk which places
him on record as an orator of no mean
repute, and Mr.. r. A. johnson to "Our
Women " He was equal to the occa-
sion. Rev. Decatur Phillips addressed
the alumni, and with that fluency of
speech characteristic of q genuine
Episcopal divine, he scared with ma
jestic beauty and rhetorical splendor
over the fields of classics. After a
number of quotations from the men,
bers of the Alumni the biggest" presi-
dent in the United States, Mr.. John r.
Cogbill addressed the gathering. His
speech was simply magnificent in its
uniqueness.
Mr.. John Baker enlivened the occa-
sion by his natural wit and gallantry
Sweet and melodious strains from the
mandolin and guitar as if touched by

MORRIS HOPKINS.
A Sad Reminder of the Execution.

We present our readers this week
with cut OF Morris Hopkins. Il was
obtained after much trouble. Hopkins
was hanged W ednesday, April "a, 1895.
he was convicted and sentenced to be
hanged for striking Mr.. Henry S. Par
sons, white man with a stick from
the effect of which blow he died nearly
a month later.
The distressing feature of the case
was the refusal of the authorities TO
allow the old gray-headed father to
have the body Of his boy, although the
sheriff had promised that il would be
delivered TO him. A bunch of flowers
and his empty wagon was all that he
had to carry home to the distressed
mother who anxiously awaited the OPP
portunity TO see the child of her bosom
laid ia rest beside his departed sister.
