ENGLISH FAMILIARITY WITH
NEGROES.

The readiness with which negroes
are entertained in private and publicc
houses in London is really phenomenal.
The Messenger mentioned how it was
ten years ago when the Methodists
held their Ecumenica1 in that greatest
city. The rich stylish Methodists WED
with each other as to whom should fall
the rich privilege of entertaining the
sable delegates. 1t is no better now,
we No change has taken
place in the elapsed decade. The Lon
don Standard has a correspondent who
essays to put a different phase to the
seeming want of race distinctions in
London. He says that though the
Londoners do accord to men not white
because those men are far too few in
number to create anything like a race
or color problem. In the east the Brit
on loses entirely his boosted superior
ity to racial distinctions and draws
them quite as firmly as we do. More
over, he calls the men of all the dark
or races of 'niggers.' Not over a year
or two ago a book by an English man
or English women 1--WE nevr saw it)
that attracted no little attention
in England, had the word Niger
as a part Of it's title. One gifted
southern woman, Mrs. w. H.
FELTON,, of Georgia, and of high
social rank lately wrote to the
Atlanta Journal as to that scene
in which she urged that Southern
Methodists were evidently in 1.-The

of Chronic Diarrhoea After
Thirty Years of Suffering

II suffered for thirty years with diar-
rhoea and thought I was past being

French Gap, Miss. Il had spent so

 Frequently every golden fish would have been caught with one exception, and then the lake >rnirrowed four sum- mer hats as each of the guests at each table determined upon having that fish, and just as one fair creature succeeded in getting her hook securely imbedded, she was apt to discover that 1t was not her hook after all, but that she, deceived by the reflections, had been fishing in midair. The guests progressed, just as at cards. and the prizes were awarded to the most expert fisherman and to the most unsuccessful Mrs. Benjamin F. Moore and Mrs. Arthur Belden cut for the former, Mrs. Belden winning. The prize was an exquisite water color. picturesQue SceHe III Ine onenduodn val ley.
