A Boys Essay on Hornets.

"a hornet is this smartest
bug that fies anywhere. He
comes when he plpases and
goes when he getsready. Ono
way a hornet shows his smart
ness is by attending to his
own busines, and makes ev-
erybody who interferes with
him wish they had done the
same thing.
"When a hornet stings a
fellow he knows it and never
stops talkingabout itas long
as his friends will listen to
him. One day a hornet stung
my pa (my pa is a preacher)
on the nose, and he did not
do any pastoral visiting for
Il mouth without talking a
bout that hornet.
"Another way a hornet
shows his smartness is by not
procrastlnating. If he hcs
ANY business with you he
will attend to it at oncce,
and then leave you to think
it over to yourslf. He doesn't
do like the mosquito, who
comes fooling arnundfor half
an hour singing "cousin cous
in," and then when he h as
bled you all he can, dash a
way yelling "nO kim" A Hor
net never bleeds you; but if
he sticks you, you will 20 off
on a swell.
81 don't know anything
more about hornets, only
that Josh Billings says: "A
hornet is an inf1ammable

zer, sudden in hisimpreshuns
and rather hasty in his con-
clusions, or end. "--Epworth

Negroes Destiny In the South.

->ONo Chu OOs'Oi NOi'
Every now and then some
body gets up a patent plan
by which the race problem is
to be settled by moving all
the negroes to some state or
territory, or, latrerly, oy
sending them to Cuba, Ha.
waii, or the Philippine Is.
lands. 1t is the vision OF a
dreamer. The. negro is in the.
South alrOst as firmly as
Mount Mitchell. There will be
some emigration, but t h e
mass of the race will live and
die here in the South, inde-
pendent of whether it is best
for them or for the whites.
The leading negroes begin
to realize this. DR., j. Il. Shep

"LA nching cannot be too
severely condemned. When Il
man is really guilty of a
crime and his case'passed up,
on by a Jury of his peers he
should receive the most spec.
dy punishment to thentmost
penalty. The negro must look
to the future. Our destiny is
with the South and her peO-
pie and their interest must
be ours. The intelligent part
of both races must act to.
eether. We must recognize
this fact and make friends
with those amorg whom we
live. | am very hopeful and

"McKinley's election depends
upon the negro vote in the
doubt ul states. .." In '96 Bry

the white vote, Mckinley ov
ing his success in the pivota

London March 31.-The news of the
disaster Of the Stella spread slowly
through London, in the absence of the
usual newspapers. to-day being Good
Friday. AS the afternoon advanced
small groups gathered at the Waterloo
station, where many painful scenes oc-
CURED. A large crowd collected to
await the arrival of the train from
Southampton this evening, which
brought three of the survivors, Messrs.
David King, a London merchant; He'll
bron and Greener. all of whom bore ev
ident traces of their sufferings.
Mr.. King, who was among the last to
leave the ship, said
Toward evening we encountered
mist, which soon developed into dense
fog. There was however, no apprehen-
sion. Suddenly great shock told us
that the Stella had struck the rocks.
Screams rent the air; but the GOODNESS
of the officers considerably allayed the
excitement. The crew behaved splen-
didly, lowering the boats with greatest
promptitude. Every woman was sup
thought there would be time for all
boats to clear away, but suddenly the
boilers burst with a deafening report
rending the ship amidships.'
Mr.. King and two firemen, Osborne
and Bailey, were the last to leave the
vessel. He had just given up life belt
to aid a clergyman's wife, and was lit
orally pulled into a boat by Second
Mate Reynolds, who was instrumental
in saving many lives.
The boat with % persons drifted for
10 hours in the intense cold, and was
finally picked up by the Great Western
railways steamer Vera, from South
ampton. Mr.. King believes that five
boats We're launched. He saw one up
turned with children clinging to it.
The passengers all agree that perfect
order and discipline prevailed on board
the Stella. The crew promptly took up
their stations when the steamer struck
and served out the life belts and low
cred the boats. The scene at the mo-
ment of the sinking of the vessel was
heartrending. Those who had succeed
ed in getting into the boats had narrow
escapes from being engulfed on account
of the suction caused by the sinking
vessel The voice of Captain Rocks
from the bridge was frequently heard
urging the rowers to pull for their
lives. The boats We're adrift Is hours,
during which time their occupants were
without food or water, and as their
clothes were drenched they suffered
greatly. The disaster is generally at
tributed to the high speed at which the
steamer was travelling in the fog.
The steamer Honfieur returned to-
night, after having made the circle of
the Casquet rocks. She picked up two
boats containing womens clothing
money, jewelry and an opera glass case.
The last had evidently been used in
bai.ing. Many pathetic incidents are
reported. In several cases men lifted
their wives and ran into the boats, and
then pershed in their presence. One
wife who was thus bereaved lost her
reason.
A large number of the survivors ar
rived here without any clothing, clad
only in blankets.
