Mr.. Rubio became Mexican minister
OF the inferior under President Dias.
The hitter Is passlonateiy fond Of duck
hunting. Rubio Is not but he was per-
suaded TO join the president on an cx-
pedltion. While on the lake one day
Diaz saw number of dueka rise on the
opposite side and begin fying toward
him, He took position In the bow of the
boat and the boatman padded slowly
toward the bank. just as Diaz raised
his gun 10 fire the boat struck bottom
aud the president sat down In the mud.
Without noticing the interruption he
let go both barrels and brought down
two ducks. Then he quietly turned TO
Ruhlo and said; IL wonder n the pres

NEGRO AMENITIES.
EfIr,fl

No one knows bat the negro that the
negro Is his worst enemy We cry
Give Us professional mcn so We get
a minimum share of them and What
is the result2 The white men have to
support them. II is peculiarly strange
that the negro IN ali OF his rage ior
recognition will not concentrate his en-.
efKies toward the upbuldinp ui his own
enterprises That the negro Is an utter
failure ~ the support al his own. needs
no consideration That he is indtief-
ent as an individual and will only fall
IN line with the crowd IS a deplorable
Tact We do not question the ability
ut the negro ~ tie aggregate To discoV-
CT his duty ~ the nature ol liberaiity to-
ward his own who would shattef the
steel bands OF dependency, but we doubt
his capacity Gas facel ot development
in the line of practicing the laws OF
selt-preservation The inexhaustihle
discussions upon this negro problem
have caused the unthouRhuul negro to
forget that there Is a greater duty inn
posed upon him than to till the AIR
with Intellectual ofatoty, What We need
in fact is concentration oi energies The
negro race can never hope To- become
fruitful until the negro dcprtvCs his
own heart ~ the secret cnmity against
those OF his own whose pluck, energy
and perseverance have placed them IN
TACT beyond the pale Of unjust criticism
suppose we give the white man a rest
and declare war against our negro cne-
mles who are destroying the iounda-
ton OF work ui prudent negroes as
fast rs they build We think It a good
suggestion.

STRAY PARAGRAPHS.

Whatever your work, and whatever its worth,
No matter how strong or clever,
Some one will sneer if you pause to hear,
And scoff at your best endeavor.
For the tower of art has lofty spire,
With many stair and landing,
And those who climb seem small oftime,
To one at the bottom standing.
A woman with no friends can, be
expected to sit down and enjoy a
pleasant smoke, for she hasn't any
k0-6dek-her.
A mans mouth is made to talk and
eat, yet he very often hurts himself
dreadfully by talking, and kills him.
self by eating.
1t may be a question not easy to
decide, whether an individual, enti-
tied to no sort of respect, has a right
to respect himself.
A lady acquaintance processes to
have too much dellcacy to read our
"Stray Paragraphs" We suppose it
is because she sees naked truth in
every paragraph.
Every taste may be corrupted by
habit. A man may get SO accus-
toned to an offensive atmosphere that
he will stop his nose in passing a gar
den of jessamines and violets.
When all around us is drear and
dark, the hidden glories of heaven
may be caught in tear trembling
upon the eyelid and pictured wildly
and beautifully upon the soul.
The ladies sometimes call men
Jack o Lanterns. Yes, ladies, that's
exactly what we all are. If you run
from us, we are certain to follow you;
if you run after us, we are likely to
retreat all the faster.
A certain very important fellow,
within the confines of Bloomsbury,
advises that we and another indlvid-
ual, whom he names, "meet upon the
field of honor and fight with squirt
guns" If we must use "a squirt "
in such an affair, we shall beg the use
of this important chap for the occa-
sion.
