The Negro In Africa.
they BigeIow. i'm Harper.

Poultney Bigelow, in Harper.
Whoever glances at successive maps of
Africa must be struck by the rapidity with
which names of territories have been
changed within the last three hundred
years. II is however, what one might rea-
sonably expect from negroes Incapable of
self-eontrol. living only for the gratifica-
ton OF momentary needs and leaving be-
hind them absolutely no record of any
achievement calculated 10 advance the
cause OF civilization. When we hear by our
tresldes or negro wars We are apt 10 re-
ce1ve statements very much exaggerated
and certainly calculated make Us feel
that the negro can be a most daring and
dangerous enemy. No doubt he is such for
a short time and under extraordinary cir
cuInstanceS. but taken as a race there is
no more gentle servant and COMPANION
than properly treated negro. 1t has been
my fortune To see something of him in the
West Indies, in South America and in every
state OF the United States tComparine.
That type or negro with the black man of
South Africa as he appears between the
Zanbesl river and the Cape of Good Hope
i confess that L see very little difference
There are highly bred negroes I'm America
as we'll as low-bred ones, and as slaves we
know that their price varied enormously
on this account alone: but / am confident
that II a given number of negroes were
picked up hapnaZard from the different
portions CT Africa. and then brought To
Virginia or louisiana dressed after the
manner or American negroes. they would
attract no more attention on the streets of
New Orleans or Richmond than they do
now along the Zambesi or the CaIedon

The ..Heathen Chinee' Revived.

LONDON DAILY Mail.
Mr. Bret Harte has revived the Heather

who says:

That hears the Angels singin-so dreamy like he

Brown of Calaveras who had come
"waltzing up on his bike" demonstrated
with Bryanite eloquence how the ratio of
silver to gold should be as sixteen to one.
and drew out of his pocket heap of silver
and laid it on the counter.

ERE THE BUDS BURST.

Between the melting of the last snow
wreath and the first filmy green of the
lordly elm comes quickening period when
the forces of nature work subty but with
effects that palpable TO the discerning
eye To such an eye il seems as if the
Master Artist were making preliminary
test of the colors OF his palette. and very
exquisite are the results. All winter long,
through foul and fair. the distant woodlands
have lain against the sky line like dark
bands Of pigment-deep, rich, each distance
draped with its own royal purple-but now
there is a new sense of vitality, all but
indefinable. If you would catch it in it's
fullest emphasis go seek the water courses
where the dainty willows grow. l have in
mind one fair prospect reaching away
through gently dipping fields: a stretch of
waste land where the willows thrive, and
every slender wand by reason of its color
Is magic wand. No field of cloth-of-gold
was ever richer than my little valley with
its tawny gold. massed or trailing off in
transparent yellowneSS like the luminous
clouds of evening kissed TO orange by the
suns last rays: and when the gold is not
tawny IL Is bright and amber. and where
the pussy WILLOWS are clustered there is
Just hint of glowing purple thickly
pearled with with siivery BUDS. and purple
and orange and amber and infinite browns
and shining pussy buds, all interviewer and
blended. bewilder the eye and lay ON the
spirit sense OF pure delight.
W nereNtr the bluegrass Is rooted. too
little Venturesome blades of green prick up
through last years dead aftermath: the
Usage orange hedges have taken on faint
tint of olive green; the first swelling of the
buds have laid a lighter brown upon the
beechwoods.
These are the visible signs of the fleet
ing changes that come when the first warm
winds. distant Vanguards of the spring
breathe over the waiting earth. A short
time since II was not so; short time
hence II VIII not be. The opulent gold and
russell OF the willows. the delicate ethereal
hintings of life TO be. are a shifting phase
and with the bursting of the buds nature
Will have silently revealed new spirit.

WORDS.
BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.

A little tender word,
Wrapped in little rhyme,
Sent out upon the passing air.
In the sweet summer time.
A little IDLE word
Breathed in an idle hour;
Between two laughs that word was said
And yet the word had power.
Away they sped-the words
One, like winged seed,
Lit on soul which gave it room,
And straight began to bud and bloom
In lovely word and deed.
The other careless word,
Borne on an evil air,
Found rich soil and ripened fast
Its rank and poisonous growth and cast
Fresh seeds to work elsewhere.
The speakers of the words
Passed by and marked one day
The fragrant blossoms dewy wet.
The baneful flowers quickly set
In clustering array.
And neither knew his word.
