The CoIored Man Wanted in the South.

Florida "Times Union"
The negro does not want to leave the
South and what is more, it will be
found, should the question ever be put to
the test, that the white people of the
South are not so much in favor of his ex-
pulsiou or emigration as some of them
sometimes think they are when irritated
by the superfuous interferen e of i'll
advised enthusiasts. The fut.re of our
negroes is inseparably bound Up with the
future of our country; and, whatever the
solution of the so.called trace problem"
may prove to be, the "brother in black"
is likely to work it out here, upon the soil
where he was born and bred, and upon
which the roots Of his race have taken
hold too strong by far to be so slight ly re-
moved as some would have us believe.

Consumption

Salt pork is famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Cat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the conSumPtive needs
most.
Scott SEmulSioniSthe
ern method of feeding fat to
the con8umptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachS.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phite8 in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

A Vanishing Industry.

Whaling is one of the vanished indus
tries of Australia. In the thirties and
forties it was very remunerative busi-
ness. The first settlement in Victoria
was made almost 70 years ago by the
enterprising Henty Bros, from Sussex,
who started a whaling station on the
shores of Portland bay. They -four
ished there for a considerable time, but
the whales were gradually frightened
out of Australian waters and have now
to be sought in the neighborhood of
the south pole. The other day couple
of whales entered Portland bay and in
terested some thousands of spectators.
No attempt was made to capture them,

sesses appliances for the purpose or

thans of the deep.-London Chronicle.
