An Old TimepieCe.

An interesting exhibit at tifS>
Smithsonian Institution is an old
German clock that was ticking
about fifteen years before the birth
of the great American Republic. 1t
keeps good time and is one hundred
and forty years old. 1t is made of
hard wood and the work was all
done by hand. Every piece of the
mechanism is highly polished, and
it is put together with hand-wrought
rivets of brass. The parts show
very little wear, and the timepiece
is so carefully constructed that it
does not vary second in time dur
ing twenty-four hours.

of the Missouri State Teachers AS
sociation, colored, held at Kansas
City Mayor Reed IN the course of his
remarks of welcome, said: "When
there is not one negro in the United
States who is unable to read and
write, then one-half of the prejudice
against the negro will be removed" ;"
j. w. Daniel, principal of Lincoln
Institute, followed Mr.. Reed and
after finishing his speech in which
he praised the mayors address, he
said: "The mayor says that when
the negroes of the United States can
all read and write, then one-half the
prejudice will be removed. That is
true, and when every white man can
read and write, then the other hall
will be rem owed"

A PRACTICAL SERMON.

1t has often been said that a ne
gro dwelling house can be recog.
nized as far as it can be seen.
Whether this be true or not I am
unprepared to say; but do know
and SO do you, that we are not as
neat and tidy around our homes as
we might be. AS rule, the front
yards of our homes are tolerably
nice, but by no means beautiful,
while the back is a most horrible
sight to look upon-oh how awful,
how repulsive, how full of ugly
sights, and of things that have no
earthly value, are some of our back
yards. Move that box of old shoes (;
that bunch Of rags that old bucket
of lime; that kit of ashes; that
hottomless chair; that rusty piece
of stove-pipe; that old iron hoop /;
that old barrel; that wash boiler !;
that old coal scuttle; that hoe and
shovel; that rat-trap; that sausage
grinder, that saw-buck; that stick
of cord wood; that old broken
wash. bowl and pitcher; that old
burnt out stove; that old window
sash that old door screen with its
rusty wire torn loose; that old

ragged and dusty piece of carpet /;
that old chintzy sofa; that old pile
of boards full of dangerous rusty
nails; that old rocking chair; that
old plow that old moving blade
move these unearthly sights, say,
and life will be brighter for you.
The speculator will see fifty per
cent more value in your property.
You will pay the debt you owe to
civilization, and you will alter, oh
ever so much, the general opin
ion that the characteristics of all
"niggers" are low and degraded.

The passing of Prof. Jacob l..

AT ALL Negro Conventions which
have been held recently in Arkan-
sas and other states surrounding
Missouri, resolutions have been
passed relative to the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition. Nothing of
the kind was mentioned at the state
teachers meeting last week. The
reason for this may be explained
in that the committee on resolu-
tions was so busily engaged in rail
roading other resolutions through
