illustrate the conditions he found there;
"When was in Indiana in February

tress. He was an old frieud. with 200
acres of as good land as can be found
anywhere. 1t was mortgaged for sew
eral thousand dollars, and be offered to
sell his equity at an almost nominal
figure. Last week l saw the farmer
again and asked him if he still wanted
to sell. He told me the farm was not
for sale; that be had made enough out

Bishop Gaines, of the colored church
has become a prophet Of startling
Theory, which he has evolved and en-
bodied in book form as bis contribution
to the literature Of bis race. In a word
ne presents the theory that the colored
race is surely and gradually being alb
sorbed by the white; that in the run Of
years it will disappear, the evolution be-
ing reached through process of graded
mulatto tiDts and constantly lessening
African characteristics. This process
of bleaching out, he declares is going
on year by year and will continue inex-
orable until the miracle is wrought.
He says; This amalgamstion has
gone on until the best and most discrim-
mating observers in tie South affirm
that there are left but two millions of
pure unmixed African out Of the more
than eight millions Of this race in this
country.
''ln the light of these facts, is it ra-
tionsl to suppose that the African color
ed man will continue to be coloredY Is
it not inevitable that in the course of
time be will lose his distinctive color
and become practically Caucasin2 The
fact, as we had shown is already shown
is already partially accomplished and
every present indication points to its to-
tai consummation in the process of time.

The Washington Star a few days
since announces that Major Moore and
Chief Clerk Sylvester Of the Police De-
partment are highly elated over the an
nouacement they were able to make
that the revolver used by the assassin,
Charles j. Guiteau, is in their custody,
and will be put in the cabinet at head
quarters. The revolver was delivered
at police headquarters late Tuesday af-
ternoon, and on Wednesday Chief Clerk
Sylvester had the weapon identified to
his complete satisfaction.
The revolver is an ordinary British
bulldog of "A calibre. Four of the
chambers were loaded, while in the
fifth chamber there was an empty shell.

longer than the others. Because of the
long time the weapon has rested IN

with green mildew, and parts of the
weapon showed that rust had started to

pieces Of wood instead Of with bone.

Mr.. Sylvester said he could not dis
close from whence the weapon was OBJ
tanned, but it was gotten from a citizen
who has had it in his possession for
number Of years. Mr.. Sylvester direct
ed a letter to the person who held it,
and this letter, which was signed by
Major Moore brought forth the weapon
now in Mr.. Sylvester's possession.
The day of President Garfeld's as
sassination, July 2, 1881. the revolver
vas taken from police headquarters, at
