UNITED AFTER FIFTY YEARS.
The Northern and Southern Baptist
Churches, After Fifty Years of Sepa-
ration, Join in Work Among the Col
ored People.

Fifty years ago this year the Baptist
churches in the United States divided
on the subject of the negro. For fifty
years they have been apart, only this
one thing dividing them.
But in this year of grace 1896 they
have come together on the negro. and
the experiment of working not only
side by side, but arm i'm arm in this
field, is being first tried here in North
Carolina. The baptist State Mission
Board Of North Carolina and the
American Baptist Home Society are
working together for the education of
the Baptist ministers Of the colored
race in North Carolina
At recent meeting the baptist
Mission Board OF this State appropria-
ted nearly $1,000 for this work, in
which the American Baptist Home
Mission Society is also engaged.
1t was arranged that the two boards
of the same denomination were TO
work together in institutes.
In these institutes prominent minis
ters of both races deliver lectures on
various theological subjects to the col
ored preachers of the surrounding
sectiop, and teach them theology, as
much as may be in the necessarily
short period of these meetings.
The institutes last from one to two
weeks, and are attended by all the col
ored ministers in the vicinity of the
place where the institute is held.
These institutes have already been
begun.
The first one was held at Winton,
BERTHE county, the first week OF the new
year. The second has just been held at
Lumberton, the meeting having closed
Sunday.
Both these institutes seem to have
been successful, as far as heard from.
As before stated, this institute work
is supported by joint appropriations
from our own State Mission Board and
from the Home Mission Society of the
Northern Baptist Church.
\ colored man is in charge of the
work in this State, he being designated
the missionary for this section J. III.
Vincent has been selected.
The meetings are called New Era
Institutes, and will be held in every
part of the State.
This is the first move toward the
union of the Southern and Northen
churches in this work. And the ex-
pertinent is being first tried in this
State

The new woman distinguished herself
at Newport, Ky, yesterday in a way
which entities her and all her kind to

kicked a man on trial for murder.

The introduction contains this state
ment: 1.-THE environs of Paris are di-
vided into four sections, each of which
is controlled by band of burglars, hav-
ing it's own center of operations, and
never passing beyond the boundaries al
loted to it, as in that case it would Sc

band operating in the neighboring Sec

methods of disposing of stolen goods,
and how to prepare them so as to pre-
vent their Identification.
The author, when caught, gave the
police much useful information, which
resulted in the imprisonment of many of
his comrades, and he escaped with a
light sentence, though on his release it
is likely that, unless he emigrates, his
career will be cut short by knife or
revolver. He is a man of excellent fami-
ly, received a fine education, and once
served in the French army.

Long Time in Rounding.

The lighthouses in England are period
ically visited by the inspecting officers of
the Trinity House Brethren. whose func-
ton is to see that everything is in proper
order. On one occasion, while examining
the mechanism of the monster revolving
lamp belonging to lighthouse, one of
the gentlemen, wishing to see how many
seconds would elapse in completing a
revolution, took half crown piece from
his pocket and placed it on the revolving
framework.
Watch in hand, he patiently waited
for the coin to come round again to
where he was standing, but no halt
crown appeared, The seconds heightened
into minutes. still no half crown!
STRANGE he exclaimed. "What can
be the meaning of it?''
In order to ascertain the cause of the
strange phenomenon, he walked around
to the other side of the lamp, and, in do
ing so, encountered one of the lighthouse
men. who touched his hat and said
''Thank you, SIR in an undertone.
The man. seeing the coin coming to
ward him. had pocketed it, thinking II
was meant for tip.

Boston has at last acknowledged the
unwisdom of having a COW for city sur
v,eyor. if one may so express the fact
that some of the streets there are laid
out SO as TO follow the cowpaths of the
original hamlet. The Inconvenience of
the streets and their narrowness have
led to most expensive congestion of
traffic. The daily amount of freight
carried through the city is estimated at
100000 tons. The unreasonable delay
for each team under present circum-
stances is one hour out of the ten which
constitutes working day, or loss of
10000 tons daily. AT cost of 60 cents
q ton. there is a loss of $4,000 a day, or

WHY THE ORANGE WITHERED.

Mrs. II. Z. Johnson of Dallas, Tex.
had fine 3-years-old Otaheite orange of
which she was very proud. Soon after
she put the plant in the greenhouse last
fall it began to show unmistakable signs
of decay, and in spite of her best efforts
it continued to wither, and seemed, in
fact, quite dead. Hoping, however, to
revive it. so soon this spring as practi-
cable, Mrs. Johnson set the pot out,
thinking that the genial warmth would
restore the plant. But instead of reviv-
ing. it seemed to wither the more, and
Yesterday when the sun shone full upon
it on the gallery, Mrs. johnson saw the
orange culver and tremble as if pos
sessed of the palsy.
Not comprehending so queer a perform
ance on the part of the plant, she called
a servant and had him carefully turn the
pot upside down, when to her horror a
big blacksnake slowly uncoiled himself
from about the roots of the orange,
where it had no doubt comfortably hi
bernated all winter.-Dallas Times.
