lie Missed Her.

A speech which had pathetic as
well as an amusing side is said to have
been made by an old New Hampshire
man on the occasion of his second
wedding.
"Neighbors, he said to those who
had witnessed the simple ceremony,
you all know that this good friend
that consented to marry me is some
thing Of stranger in our town. So
I'm a-going to depend on you women
folks" he added, with a confding
smile, "to make her feel at home
among US, just as my first wife would
do if she was here to-day. I miss her
considerable all the time, but more n
usual on an occasion like this!'

ised him when the tolls Of life are
ended. The nation will soon forget
its God after il has forgotten His Sab
bath. When We labor six days in the
week we want good spiritual meal on
the Sabbath if we can ges it, and we
find therein blessed compensation
and refrcshmcnt. When Christians
begin to live up to the gospel mark We
may then look for institutions Of the
world to begin to fall in line also.
And now may the Lords spirit help
US to love, serve and honor Him who

as l was getting very thirsty for
some North Carolina news. / hope To

l mad a letter from Wilson today
from a friend who told me that the
new messenger agent had been spend

complimentary of me, but failed to
give me the agents name, which l re-
gretted. l was told h a he said he
found that l a made many friends
on the road, and that he hoped or
wished he could make as many.
Since writing you the other day /

nice place the Brooklyn, but il was a
little too low down in the city and
rather too near China Town 10 suit me

surprised when l tell you that I am

inquired of one of the BARRIERS If ne
knew anything of a gentleman by the
name Of Gilbert who was in the bust
ness in the city some time back, and
he told me l was only a few doors
from the place where he did business.
1 went down to the place and was old
some things concerning his stay here.
1 was told hat Mr.. Gilbert was

Well, l am seeing the sight of San

place and is becoming more so all the
time. 1 was at the mint today and the

up. 1t will be a grand building when
completed.
San Francisco is we'll supplied with
newspapers. The Chronicle, The Call

The Los Angeles Times, the princi-

WHAT GOOD THE AMENDMENT
WILL Do.

1t is often contended by able men
now in the congress-, in the states, in
debates n letters, in communications
to the press and in speeches on the
hastings, that the adoption OF the
amendment will prove a genuine bless
ing to the better class of negroes, those
who are sober, industrious and not of
the criminal class. 1t will bless the
negroes in many ways we may not
doubt. 1t will produce a better feeling
in the end betwen the more respecta-
bic and worthy negroes and the whites.
1t will promote education very decid-
eddy. 1t will perpetuate the school fund
and with the years illiteracy viii dis
appear more n more from both races.
1t will guarantee the reign of law and
the preservation of order. 1t viii give
real freedom to the negroes which is
something they have not had as a class
since they were freed by the results
of war, and became the plant, useful,
necessary tools and agents of the rapa-
cious, hungry, slick and easy-going
white republican office-seekers. 1t will
also Tree the WDlte race from an un-
b%earable, ubiquitous bondage. This is
briefly the view of tens of thousands.
The amendment will be a blessing to
both races, to the church and the state.
The republican in Henderson county
who wrote to The Raleigh Pos q week
or two ago, aid this, and he sees the
truth in white light:
The intelligent and moral portion of
the negro a G. will be freed from the
power of this class, the republican par
ty will be in a position to invite influ-
entail and non-office seeking white re-
cruits, the democratic party viii not
then have the advantage of fighting
alone for the integrity of civilization
and the protection of life anG proper
ty, n will lose half its prestige, as
we'll as that spirit of desperate deter
mination which most white men come
to, when facing the naked questions of
negroes ruling over them, the honest
populists can then vote their senti-
ments without, by dividing up the
white vote as they SIRE is the case, Civ
