Crowding Out Negroes.

Referring to the movement of
Italians to the South, the Mime
apolis Journal, which tries to
take a broad view of Southern
conditions, shows how far astray
good intentions may go when it
says:
What will be the result of
crowding the negro out of the
agricultural-labor market by the
introduction Of a white laboring
class? SO far, it is said that the
Italians on the plantations get
along peaceably beside the negro
and have little to do with them.
but if the displacement develops
into what the planters expect it
will, and the negroes crowd eX-
cessively into the cities, there is
no doubt that the negro question
will afilict the Southern people in
a still more acute form. There
is danger, indeed, that a new
racial conflict will ultimately de-
velop between the Latin and ne
gro races. In getting rid Of
negro labor on the plantations
the South will have another race
to deal with, which has a tenden-
cy to combination and a tendency
to acquire land, and which may
prove more intractable than the
lOnp-SufierinQ neTrO
Indeed, the Journal answers its
own proposition about "crowding

Growing Old Gracefully.

NO woman, whatever her age,
should be blamed for wishing TO
look her best; indeed, think she
deserves blame if she does not
There are few things which age
a woman more than an indifer-
ence to her personal appearance,
whether Of body or raiment. The
dalntily and becomingly dressed
mother, sister, sweetheart or
wife, with pretty complexion and
glossy hair, is accorded far more
respect and admiration than is
ever given to the one in ill-ftting
black gowns, with frosty hair
and salloW complexion, and few
things add more to the charms
OF a woman than feeling of
looking well" to her friends.
AS the years come, a woman
should take more and more care
Of her locks" for her duties
should grow less and less onerous
as her family cares grow fewer
and she should not scruNle to en-
ploy any aids of the toilet which
she finds benefit her. 1t is said
that ''happiness may depacd
upon the shade chosen for a din
ner dress or the set of a hat"
even though the hair may be
tinged with grey; the woman
past forty needs all the help she
can get from dress, and the one
past fifty needs it still more.
When age" becomes an ac-
knowledged fact, richness and
elegance Of material and plain
nessof cut and making should be
the rule, and if rich material
cannot be afforded. there is still
neatness and good-ftting to be
had, and becoming colors should
always be regarded. Let us
grow old gracefully"

PROSPECT OF FUTURE COLONIAL
TION SOCIETIES.
Certainly, there are among the
Italian-Americans many who
might subscribe funds to coloni-
~"cieties, properly so
caIleH, uuv who Of them, after
having gained a competence by
hard work, is going to risk loss
by founding societies based on
the work Of peasants who refuse
peremptorily to discount the pur-
chase of land with agricultural
labor, but demand, instead, i'm
mediate pay?
AS for societies founded with
exclusively American capital,
facts speak louder than theories.
He recounts the history Of Sun
ny Side" the cotton plantation
of Mr.. Corbin, on which he at
tempted to establish an ideal
Italian colony, aided by the am
bassador and Don Emanuele Rus
pole, then syndic of Rome. The
plan Included a subdivided tract,
with houses and complete outfits
furnished, artesian wells, school,
lioarary, church and savings
bank, narroW-gauge railway and
cotton press. After twenty
years, the colonists we~~ . be-
Come ~prSpfietors of their piots,-
and the plantation buildings were
to be common property of the
whole colony. Fifty o. sixty
families were brought from Italy
at the expense of Mr.. Corbin.
They went to work and were
paid the wages agreed. All
promised well. Trustworthy
persons were sent by both Mr..
Corbin and the ambassador to
satisfy all just demands. Very
soon, for no valid reason, after
getting their pay, the colonists
began to disband gradually,
drawn by the fatal allurement Of
quick profit to the great cities.
In the present state of things,
Baron Fava thinks, it will not be
easy to found real colonization
societies in this country, with
either Italian or American capi-
tai. He thinks it possible that
Brazil and Argentina, with eli
mate, language, and customs
more in harmony with those of
Italy, might offer more encour-
agement of success for the pro-
posed colonization societies. Re

Dart was the name of our posi-
sutler. He was kind-hearted
fellow, had made many friends
among the prisoners before John
son began his starving process
and stopped us from trading with
us, but now he was permitted to
resume business with the recruits
in the "calf pen," and frequent
ly numbers of us would gather
along this space, as near the dead
line as we dared get, to await
the arrival of Darts wagon with
supplies for the recruits just to
catch a glimpse and get a whiff
of the odor of fresh bread, meats
and pies as they passed from one
gate to the other. All, the odor
Of those pies! will carry to my
grave their odor.
I, Dart had a dog that would
sometimes follow his wagon into
the prison. We were assembled
one evening, as usual, to smell
the pies and things, when the
front gate swung open and Dart
drove in; the dog came in also.
The best of US, man or beast,
sometimes make mistakes. Dart
and his dog were not exceptions.
In allowing the dog to follow him
was Darts mistake. The wagon
stopped a moment in our midst
for the sentry to open the gate
to the "calf pen;" the dog took
position midway beneath the
wagon-wise dog; a wink, a sig
nificant nod at the dog PASSED
between half dozen prisoners;
two stepped around on the oppo-
site side of the wagon, and unob-
rlserved, made a pass at the dog;
kEhe dog instinctively lodged to
SSne other side-this was his mis-
taloa He didn't understand the
advantage of flank movement.
In an instant a bony, brown
hand had him by the back of his
neck and another clutched his
throat; he was tucked under the
skirt of a long-tailed coat, and a
moment later three men, walking
closely together as if to conceal
something from the crowd behind
them, disappeared around the
corner of the nearest barrack.
