The Negro and Cotton.

The great majority Of the people
of the United States have thelI
homes and their places and palaces
in the North and East, and they are
the ones who know less and talk and
write moro about the negro than all
the other people on the globe com
bined, Every time thcy say or do
anything for the negro they are just
that sure to lnjure his cause; whom
they make him believe he is fit for
social equality they put him back a
decade, These same people, how
ever, have just one way to give the
negro all the assistance he needs or
ever will need. They control Wall
street, and consequently all the cot
ton mills in the country. They can
do a good part by the negro by
keeping the price of cotton at ten
cents or above. When the staple is
low the negro is the loser at all times,
the bulk of the burden falling upon
him like a shroud, he is as depend
Unt upon the noble-hearted and char.
liable people Of the South as a suck
ling babe is upon its mothers breast,
and any injury to the white man re-
doubles its fury upon the black man,
and at once. just why the North
cannot sec this state Of affairs as it
is, forms one Of the great mysteries
of creation.

The Gate of Eurone.

Buda Pesth, the Hungarian capital. is one of the handsomest cities in the world. It's wide streets, bordered by magnificent buildings, it's parks palaces, theatres and last but not least It's luxurious cafes. which have no equal. cannot fail to inl- press the visitor with Its wealth and beauty.
 The city is built on volcanic ground and the internal fires are still smouldering. A visit to the St Lucas hot sulphur baths across the Danube at Buda might lead the visitor to think that the internal regions are not far off, and indeed a humorous preacher could make good use of this when moraizing on the gay and luxuriant life of the Pesth half of the consolidated town. Another curiosity of the spit is the natural aperient waters renowned throughout the world. of which Apenta is the leading one. The Apenta accumulates in wells dug for the purpose and absorbes from the soil the salts that make 1t a valuable purgative.
