THE FINAL SESSION,
Deliberations of American Academy
brought to n Close.

The American Negro Academy closed its
mortal Church, 18th and r streets north
west, last night.
An address was to have been delivered
in the evening by Mr.. J. w. Hoffman of
the state university of North Carolina. on
The Outlook of Scientific Work Among the
Negroes" Mr.. Hoffman was unfortunately
i'll. however. and the paper by Mr.. G. NJ
Grisham of Kansas City. Mo-, on Aims
in Negro Education" was the only one
read. The speaker declared that the negro
has many glazing faults to be corrected :
that he has duties to perform as we'll as
rights to protect; that diplomacy Is his
best weapon, not merely brute strength:
that he must learn the Anglo-Saxon habit
of biding his time, and that he requires
more than anything else persistent self
respect.
Paul Laurence Dunbar recited some of
his favorite poems, which evoked great ap-
plause.
The afternoon meeting was devoted to
the business of the society. A number Of
bylaws were adopted and the following
eminent negroes were elected to corre-
spondent membership: Sir Samuel Lewis
OF Sierre Leon, West Africa; E. w. Bly,
den of West Africa, Mr.. Henry o. Tanner,
the American artist, and Bishop j. T. Holly
of Haiti The congratulations of the acad-
envy were then extended to the Central
British African Association of London, and
resolutions were passed acknowledging the
courtesy of the pastor and congregation
of the church in which the meetings were
held and of the committee which provided
the luncheon served each day.

chaise in the town Of Mechanic Falls,
and that one belonged to an old man of
somewhat eccentric ways.
One day young man wanted to

The owner agreed, but nothing was
said about the price. Towards night
fall the young man brought the chaise
back.
How much is the damages" he
asked.

man.

A Procession OF Elephants.

Marie A. Mile tells a number OF
"Stories Of Elephants, in st. Mich
olas. The author says:
The prime minister of Nepal with
the court were at that time in holy
Hardwar, in order to battle in the
sacred Ganges, and perform their pill
grimage to the "IIur HI Pyree, or
"Steps To Heaven, and for their ben
eft the elephants were made to go in
procession through the sacred town.
Can any child picture II procession
of "a hundred aud fifty tame elephants
in single file, headed by Bill. and
with Narain bringing up the rear? 1t
was truly n grand sight. They covered
a mile and quarter Of road, and were
a. orderly IA soldiers in a marching
regiment. Through the town they
marched, each beast in its place, in no
way disconnected by the populace, or
by the screaming children, who joined
in singing their nursery rhymes at
each turn of the road They think
that Guneshin, the god of wisdom, has
his existence in an elephants body,
aud 40 they venerate the colossal
beast immensely Their little voices,
pitched at the highest, sang out the
couplet:
Elephant, o elephant give US hair Of your
tail!
Or, instead thereof, a sword Of gold!
II was a quaint, queer sight! The
old town with its mosques and
minarets; the sacred stairs OF
Vishnu," leading down to the blue
waters edge; the priests on the steps
in gay sulphur colored garments, feed
ing the sacred fish, while the sacred
monkeys were swarming everywhere,
swinging from branch to branch OF
the trees, feeding on the house-tops,
screaming and playing. Below
marched undisturbed the imposing
procession of elephants, all bent oil
obedience, and vending their way re
CARELESS of all distractions.

SHIP. rha, sailed Not to Return.

II is some four years now since the
last mysterious disappearance OF a
great ship. This was the Naronic, a
freight steamer of unusual size, which
sailed the Atlantic and was lost in
1892. Pieces of wreckage from the
vessel have been picked up, however,
which has not happened in all such
cases. Among the mysterious disap-
pearances of the past were the steam
ships President. City of Glasgow,
Pacific, Ocean Monarch and City of
Boston, the ironclad Captain, and the
Liberia and Barton.
Twenty.seven years have passed
away since the City of Boston was
placed on the missing list, but some
are now living who had friends and
relatives on board Of her.
The City OF Boston cleared at the
port Of New York on Tuesday, Janu-
airy 20, 1870. She sailed for Liver
pool by the way of Halifax, with
twelve cabin and forty-five steerage
passengers. Since she left Halifax nc
vestige of her has ever been seen ex'
cept plank upon which was scratched
a message saying that the ship was
sinking. Her exact fate will never be
known. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

HOW SHE LANDED.
An Aminbie Grccnhorn Even the Guests
Were Forced to Laugh.

Mrs. G. of Staten Island had in
her employ a greenhorn. Her only
qualification for the position of wait
ress which she possessed on her ar
rival in this country was apretty face.
She was voluble of speech and slow of
comprehension, and many a house
keeper would have given her marching
orders at the end of the first week;
but Mrs. C. thought there were
the markings of good servant III her,
and so kept her.
After the girl had been with her n
month, and had learned how to serve
soup without spilling it down the
backs of the diners, Mrs. G. gave
a dinner, to which were invited two
very dignifed people, in whose home
everything ran with the smoothness of
chronometer, and she was naturally
anxious to approximate that smooth
ness in the service of her dinner.
For two courses everything went az
heart could wish. Bridget refrained
from speech, spilled not n thing, was
attentive to the wants Of the guests,
and looked as pretty as fresh young
Irish girl can, which is saying great
deal.
But when she removed the fish and
attempted to take it down stairs to the
kitchen, she tripped on the top step,
and with scream and a series OF
bumps and crashes she and the fish
accomplished the descent.
Mrs. O. and her family vainly
tried to keep from laughter. There
was such cheerful bumpy sound
in her downgoing. The two digniiied
guests were az adamant, They eyi-
IDENTIFY heard nothing. But even their
risibles were not proof against what
followed. Mrs O. sat irresolute
for moment, hoping that the girl
would not require assistance. And
she did not. In the richest of accents
a voice came up the basement stairs
"Did We hear me? Fell arl the way
down shtairs an landed on me fu'
loike burrd. -Harper's Baznr.
