The most peculiar and remarkable

mammal of Australia. 1t is shaped like
an otter, has fur like beaver, is web
footed like swan, has bill like duck
and tail like that of fox. 1t is the

lays eggs. A corresponding oddity

CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVER.
The Ohio Experiment Station
has made several experiments with
crimson or scarlet clover during
the past four seasons, all Of which
have thus far resulted in failure.
The CHEF difficulty has apparently
been that the dry weather, which
Is so common in Olio during
August, the time when this clover
is ordinarily sown, has killed the

results, which will be published in

that bees may be killed in large,

General Greedy Will say:
y There seems, indeed, to

arising possibly from their poss-

that Washing toms training in the
broad schools of politics and war
threw him not only in contact
with the sturdy, rough humanity
of the frontier, but also with
cultivated men of all professions,
while his mothers life was pract-
ically confined to single Virginia
county. = y TO his mother, whose
material conditions in middle life
were, If anything, superior to those
of her earlier years, it seemed no
less than proper that the Colony Of
Virginia should settle a pension
upon her for her sons services, and
it took WasliiDgton's direct in

being taken by the Vnginia Legis-

1--WE should never grow discouraged.
In que time every right now enjoyed by
every citizen will be ours. think the
most sensible colored people In this coun-
try have settled down TO three things:
That Just In proportion as We secure IN
telligence and property, and learn to
practice morality and religion, all OF the
rights now enjoyed by every other citi-
zens will be ours.
when IL comes 10 social equality. no
one but an ill-informed person gives him
self much concern regarding that. 1t
will be with US as with all other people.
The matter OF social recognition Will take
care OF itself. No power can force man
to recognize another as his social equal
unless both agree.
sour present trouble Is we are empty
handed, and nobody spends a great deal
of time with an empty-handed and hun
cry man. And when you come 10 ana
lyze the question you will find that one
white man does not care great deal for
another white man except as the one has
something that the other wants; he either
has property, culture or influence, some
thing every time that the other wants,
and that brings the two together and

social and political relations.
Il sometimes fear that we are too much
inclined to lay stress on our grievances
rather than our opportunities. While
many wrongs have been perpetrated upon
us in the South. still at the same time 1t
is a fact now recognized by all intelligent
col0red people. that the black man has
a far better opportunity 10 rise in the
South. than he has i'm the North. While
the black man is not permitted TO ride
in the first-class car in the South, you
will find that IN many cases I'm the North.
he is not allowed TO build that ifrst-class
car. I have always held that the colored
man can sooner conquer southern pre-
iudice than Northern competition. There
is an absence of prejudice against the
black man in the South in business that
means more than we have heretofore
realized. | find that when 1t comes to
business, pure and simple, the black man
is put on the same footing with the white
man. and here il seems TO me Is our great
opportunity.
I'm proportion TO its opportunity the
race has done well. That II may DO
better there must be n more vital and
practical connection between the negro $
educated brains and his means OF earning
his daily bread.
at the Tuskegee Institute, we are not
saying that the education in the classics
of ministers. lawyers and doctors Is not
necessary and important. but we are say
ing with every atom OF our being that

ponds M present on the common occupa-
tions. ans that since s. per cent. depend

A Remarkable Proceeding In North Caro-

WADESBORO. n. c.. Nov. i5.-Three
trains on the Charlotte. Columbia, and
Augusta division of the Southern rail-
way. filled with passengers United States
mail. and Southern Express matter, were
seized by Il sheriff last night for an un-
paid Judgment. one Of the engines had
killed a horse about year ago.
As the local from Augusta reached
WinnsborO. 5. c.. the sheriff ran up
and chained the wheels OF tho engine
to the track. Producing his documents,
he called loudly for settlement or the
Sllg Judgment against the company.
The passengers streamed out in no
amiable frame OF mind. The sheriff
offered TO release the mail car but the
railroad men refused 10 accept this offer.
The north-bound yestibule, the south
bound local from Charlotte, y. C., and
the attached train were delayed for
several hours before the company's
agents gave satisfactory bond for the
payment OF the claim. Then the sheriff
took of the chains. and the trains
moved on.
