OF the greatest speeches for century
and half in British eloquence-
Although we were aware from long
familiarity with British works that
much of the noblest and most COM
manding eloquence OF modern times,
and no little of. its sweetest lyrical
poetry had been produced by the gifted
sons of that wronged and afflicted
beautiful island, We had never really
considered how many of those men of
genius whose writings glorify, illumine
and adorn the English language and are
among the most precious legacies that
modern literature possesses, were born
either in the cities and towns, or amid
the glens and hills, the fields and for
ests of this lovely land, the gem of the
ocean," But so it is. But we have so
exhausted space that we must defer
the discussion to another day, when We

HOW THE NEGROES ARE VALUED
IN NEW YORK CITY.


There are in the south many negroes
who are very polite and pleasing in
their manners. They were nearly all in
service "befo de wah.'' The new set as
a class are not considerate or deferen-
tial They are beginning TO find this
out in the north. In Washington City
there are $4,000 negroes. and the Post
has stated how overbearing and inso-
lent many of them are. In PhiIadeI-
phia there are $4,000. and many OF them
are in pitiable circumstances. The
white folks there are about to try TO
do something for their relief. OF what
their manners are We have seen no re-
port. In New York il is said that but
few servants among the numerous ne
groes are employed now. Employment
agencies so report. The negro women
many the pick of the south-are still
retained for domestic service But
new ones are pouring in and will glut
the market if it continues. In April
10000 negroes were to go from the
south. There is a peculiar sign lately
given out. 1t is in connection with the
extreme organization known as the
Union League in New York city. 1t is
of the fierceSt fire-eating tribe and was

sas cut-throat's hair, John Brown.
There was a late movement to dis
charge all of its negro servants, and
this was prevented it appears by d
southern born man. republican law
yer in the great city. The Richmond
Times furnishes this:
"Of all negrophilist organizations
this was supposed to be of the high
est order. But with such a back
ground even they could not stand the
manners of the new negro, and it was
only the sympathetic eloQuence grow
ing out of tender memories of the old
negro that enabled Mr.. John S. Wise
to avert the calamity and to retain the
negroes in the service of the Union
League club.
'"The reason of all this is simply that
the new. negro has lost the deferential
manners of his fathers and has be-
come arrogant and offensive.
I'VE remember hearing a Virginia
negro woman. who had gone to Phila-
delphia and gotten most agreeable
and well paid position, when asked
how she got it and kept it, reply by
my manners. sir. The people up there
are not used to such manners as we
have. and they like them
AS the negroes increase in numbers
as will be the case in the north, the
whites will have occasion to give con-
sideration, not to the negro problem in
the south and how to advise the whites
who were reared among the negroes,
but to the more pressing question How
shall we get along with the negroes ?"
We hope they will find a successful
solution that will be more satisfactory
to them than their attempts to deal
with the negroes in the south have been
satisfactory to the whites who live
among them

statement. we'll authenticated, that the
portrait of the most gallant and meri-

his name?) to the garret in that depart

can naval commander who won the
greatest naval fight of modern times,
not accepting Copenhagen and Trafal-
gar, when the circumstances are con-
sidered, has arrived in England.

in a few days-by Goth inst. He has
just had eighteen months of sea ser

south give him a grand welcome. He
