NEGROES MAKING PROGRESS.
xmpyovinE Its Condition
Rapidly.

Though large proportion of the
negro population of this city still re-
main in the degraded condition which
was the natural result of the races
servitude, there are many--both men
and women-who have broken through
the barriers surrounding them, and
have won for themselves respectable
positions in various walks of life, says
the Scottish American. No longer are
they crowded together to the same ex-
tent as formerly. They are to be found
above the Harlem as well as below it,
and in the suburbs of Brooklyn as well
as in the quarters which in time past
were considered peculiarly their own.
In the latter borough there is Society
of Sons of Virginia, and in Manhattan
the colored people from North Carolina
have banded themselves under the
name of Sons of the Old North State.
They have several churches of their
own, and also places of instruction in
which pupils are prepared for special
callings.
The negro medical fraternity num-
bers about Is, all with diplomas from
well-known institutions. Five are
graduates of Long Island college, and
Harvard, Dartmouth, the University of
Pennsylvania and Howard university
are all represented.
