The Truth Well Put.

The pastor Of the colored Method
list church in this town, Rev. Mr.,
Brooks, in a sermon to his people
last Sunday night, among the other
things said: I'VE have made few
sacrifices since we have been free.
We have been carried almost entirely
on the shoulders OF other people. 1t
is time the cOlored race was standing
up and doing something for themsel-
ves," which is the truth well put. 1t
is refreshing to meet n sensible color
ed man who has n sense Of apprecia
ton and responsibility. A great
many cOlored people seem TO think
it matter of course that they are to
be carried on the shoulders" of the
white people of the country forever.
They have been so carried for about
thirty years, and it seems that the
time ought to come soon when they
should make an effort to take care of
themselves.
1T is, however, gratifying to know
that there is, even here and there, n
man who realizes and acknowledges
publicly, the Indebtedness of the race
to the people among whom they live,
and upon whom they are dependent.
The Southern people have spent
millions of dollars for the
education and evangelization of the
colored people, and this, in spite of
the fact that bright promises made
and hopes excited by politicians, the
colored people have presistantly and
systematically arrayed themselves
against their white friends. Politics
has been the bane of thee negro. and
the sooner they are eliminated from
the political market the sooner they
will achieve their independence.

Says He Saw a Top Spin II Minutes.

y see that couple OF Northern
scientists are wrangling over the In
vention of top that spins for an hour
without stopping" said New Or
leans engineer, talking about mechan-
zeal curios. No detailed description
Of the device has even been printed,
but ] can assure both claimants that
it is far from a novelty.
"Oven ten years ago, to the best OF
my recollection, a German watchmak-
or, who was then living here, made a
top which myself have several times
seen spin for more than an hour. Hia
name was William Freund, and / be.
lieve he is now at Dallas, Tex. He
was a sort of all-round mechanical
genius and used to occupy his leisure
by making quaint automatic toys.
which he generally gave away. The
long distance top consisted of a met
al sphere, about the size of a football.
surmounted by two thin, wide disks,
which, to the best OF my recollection,
were made of tin, with strip of lead
around the edge. Freund called the
thing the Saturn top" because these
disks made 1t look something like the
familiar pictures of that planet. At
the bottom of the sphere was a short
pin with a sharp point, on which the
apparatus revolved. and on top was q
peg for winding the string which
gave IT its impetus. No other me-
chanism was visible. Freund spun
the toy in a small saucer the two OF
three times ! saw 1t in motion. He
held 1t erect by handle which rested
In a cavity at the end Of the peg, gave
the string a rtick jerk and away Il
went. 1t whirled around so smoothly
and with such total absence of any
thing like wobble that ii was hard to
discern that 1t was really moving,
1t appeared to be standing perfectly
still. The longest time that I saw Il
spin was hour and IL minutes, but
on other occasions 1t beat that record
aIfRhtIy."

Only a Part.

The impression prevails IN many
sections of the country that the only
business of the constitutional con-
vention will he the Acknowledgement
of the negroes. The suffrage is Ger
tainly an important part of the busl-
ness of the coming convention-but
only a part. There are other and
equally pressing matters to be con.
sidered. The question of more and
better Accommodations at the Poniten
tiary seems to be among the para
mount issues" and will, no doubt,
engage much Of the attention of this
extra session.

ed.-RichmOnd Dispatch.
If we are not mistaken it was
clearly understood from the Nav
Convention, and all along that the
new constitution was to be submitted
to the people for ratification OF reiec-
ton. The impression prevails in
certain quarters that the new consti-
tuition will not be submitted to the
people. The Lynchburg News says
that 1t need not be if the convention
so chooses, as it will be a SOVEREIGN
body, with the right TO do as it pleases
In the matter. But the constitution
ought to be submitted to the people
OF the State, and surely it will be.
