plump, healthy children with ap

is rather frail and delicate little
woman. and whose life for many
hours hung by the slenderest
thread, we are pleased to hear has

Of recovery. Rev. John Lucas,
the father, is said to have been the
first colored child born in this
county; in addition to his resi-
dence in the city, he is the owner
of good farm in Pleasant town

church, is an industrious and
worthy citizen. Both he and his
wife are highly esteemed and re-

edly be traced to the sloppy,
wretched, sentimental novels the
girl of today doses herself with.
The sentimental novel does more
harm to girls than all the lurid
dime novels in the world ever did
to boys. If either kind of novel
could be abolished, it should be,
first of all, the silly, moony novel
that girls dote on and boys de-
spise, greatly to the credit of the

Henry W. Blair, Of Massachus

of the universal education of the
colored race as the only efectual
remedy for the unfortunate condi-

placed. Mr.. Blair proceeds upon
the theory that the national gov

education, and he advises the Ne
groes of the northern states. who
hold the balance OF power between
the two great parties, to demand
that the Republican party insert a
plank in its platform in favor Of
national and state education-and
says that if it refuses to do so. the
Negroes should not support the
party. "The delegates of color
