interview from him and present the
same In The Metropolis. Since his ar

In reply to queries of the reporter,
the Bishop, who is clear talker, plac'

the same time uttering them with pow.
or and firmness, began by saying:
"Those who see destruction Of my
race, deterioration and retrogression
only are those who are ignorant Of the
facts concerning conditions.
His summary statements, including
the facts that there were 1000. 600 col.
ored people IN the South &C the close
Of the Civil War, and now there are
5000 QUO, showing that he was speaking
OF matter IN which he was more than
ordinarily concerned. Continuing he
said:

In this respect Louisiana ranks second

WANTS THE RACES FRIENDLY
81 would like to zee some M 3ment
inaugurated that would strengthen the
bond of real friendship between the
white man and the black man Of the
South. That we are to remain here to
gether goes without saying. The &C
quirement of wealth, both North and
South, was never more rapid than at
present, and, all things considered, tho
requirement of education is equally as
great. The opportunities for colored
men are greater In the Southern than
In the Northern, Eastern and Western
States. Some way should be devised
by the best elements of both races to
perpetuate relations that would be per
fectly peaceful and harmonious. Skile
labor In the Northern and Eastern
States is monopolized by foreigners.
For the past $50 years this class Of work
has been done IN the South by my race.
We should keep this, instead of pratt
ing about emigration. An ample
amount Of money should be appropri
ated by every Southern State to estsb
lish and maintain schools for industrial
training, as Booker T. Washington has
In Alabama, so that all kinds of work
might be properly taught"

WORK AMONG THE NEGROES.
Beneficial Facets of Teachers on ST.
Helena Island.

From the Charleston News and Courier)
: In comparison with some OF the other
sea Islands of this coast that were aban-
donetI by their white inhabitants during
the war and given over to the possession
of their former slaves the island of St
Helena Of the group HOW almost entirely
occupied by negroes is in better condition,
so far as it's cultivation by them of crops
of cotton and provisions and all that con-
tributes to its advancement IN the scale of
progress than any of its adjacent islands,
It was in the nature OF an experiment
suddenly to convert thousands of hither-
to dependent and untutored slaves into
owners of real estate by deeds of gift of
the lands of their former owners. and to
turn them loose upon their own resources
It was confidently predicted that they
would drift into a condition of thriftIess-
ness and would be proof against educa-
tional Improvement.
So far as the island OF St Helena is
concerned. where there is the largest
number of negroes living and owning
their own lots OF ten, twenty, and thirty
acre farms. and where there are the few
est number of white residents in proper
ton. the experiment WAS best tested when
the island was diverted almost exclusives
ly to negro colonization and comparative
separa ton from contact with the white
man
To a great extent the comparative good
condition of this large body of negroes
thus left almost to themselves upon the
withdrawal OF their white masters in 1851
is due to the excellent influences exerted
over them by Miss Laura Towne, a truly

4 Deer With Il Human Skull on Its

from Forest and stream.)

tfrom Forest ana Stfeafh.t
While Alexander Lewis and his two sons
were hunting in the vicinity of Temple,
Ind, the dogs freed something in a hollow
tree The hunters came up, got their
guns ready. and found the unknown animal
to be an infant but two or three days old,
and still alive. The child had evidently
been abandoned TO its fate. Mr.. Lewis
carried the little one to his home and
there is every prospect that it VIII be
successfully reared.
In YaZoo County. Mississippi, party Of
hunters killed deer that had human
skull impaled on a prong of its horn, sup
posed to be that of a negro. The prong
had entered the cavity occupied in life by
the eye, and had grown up around the
bone, showing the skull had not been put
on recently. There are various con-
lecture as to how it got there, but
the most prevalent opinion Is that the
animal was wounded and brought to
bay by the negro and had killed the
latter in the conflict which ensued. the
prong entering the eye and piercing the
brain. The body of the deer showed signs
of wounds He was about as large as q
oyear-old calf.
