London Bridge.
Proud and lowly, beggar and lord,
Over the bridge they go;
Rags and velvet, fetter and sword,
Poverty, pomp and woe.
Laughing, weeping, hurrying ever,
Hour by hour they crowd along,
While, below, the mighty river
Sings them all 4 mocking song.
Hurry along,
Sorrow and song,
All is vanity meath the stunt
Velvet and rags,
So the world wags,
Until the river no more shall run.
Dainty, painted, powdered and gay
Rolleth my lady by;
Rags and tatters over the way
Carries heart az high.
Flowers and dreams from country mea-
dows,
Dust and din through city skies,
Old men creeping with their shadowA
Children with their sunny eyes
Hurry along,
Sorrow and song,
All is vanity meath the sun;
Velvet and rags,
So the world wags,
Until the river no more shall run.
Storm and sunshine, peace and strife,
Over the bridge they 60;
Floating on in the tide Of life
Whittier no man shall know.
Who will miss them there tomorrow,
Waits that drift to the shade or sun
Gone away with their songs and sorrow;
Only the river still flows on.
Hurry along,
Sorrow and song,
All is vanity meath the sun;
Velvet and rags,
So the world ways,
Until the river no more shall run.

NO COLOR IN BRAINS.

Black Baptist Humor Makes q Hit al
London Congress.
A black man stood on the platform
of Exeter Hall the other day and
about 5000 people sat in front of him
laughing, says the London Daily Elk
press.
They laughed not at. the black man
but at his jokes, for the black man
was one of the American negro dele
gates to the Baptist world conference
and the 'black Baptists" have provid
ed the lions share of the laughter in
Exeter Hall.
Their laughter could be picked out
when the Baptists Of dozens Of coun
tries all laughed together. for although
they have learned to talk like white
men, the "black Baptists" have not
forgotten the peculiar laugh of the
plantation.
Some Of the colored men are old
enough to have been slaves In their
childhood. Among these ID the Rev
A. H. Parrish, who for twenty years
has been a leading educatdonalist
among the negroes of the Southern
States.
Parrish is one of the blacklist OF
black men, and his white tie and col
lar only emphasized the blackness OF
his countenance and of his extra long
frock coat His gold-spectacled black
face was as grave as DIR. Clifford's as
he faced the 5000 cheering Baptists
from San Francisco to Japan. Then q
lovely smile overspread his features.
II suppose" he said, in the purest
English, that l am here to add color
to this occasion" His black face
beamed with delight as the Baptista
cheered and laughed.
"Well,' he added, while the eth.
nologists are trying to determine my
origin, and the theologians my destiny
l have the inestimable satisfaction OF
knowing am here"
The Baptists of all nations laughed
again and cheered as the black man
smiled upon them from the place OF
honor on the platform. They seemed
as glad as he was to recognize the
arrival" Of the black man as an In.
tellectual equal and brother.
Forty years ago he was slave
When he was freed he entered mis-.
sion school, in which he became 4

preacher suggested that there was INC

Jack raised his soft felt hat, and

THAT CONSOLIDATION.

Devils Lake, July 6. S. J.
Small. City. Dear Sir: / was
surprised to read in last weeks
Free Press in an article purport-
ing to relate the facts in regard
to a proposed newspaper CONSOLE
dation, that the proprietors of
the Inter-0 Ocean and Journal
were not there with their money
when the negotiations were COM
pleted. AS I have had this mat
ter in my own hands as far SIS
any negotiations with Mr.. Smith
of the Free Press are concerned,
/ think it but right to state that
my understanding Of the matter
was that Mr.. Smith on the pay
ment by you Of $500, was to
transfer to you the subscription
list and good will of the Free
Press, he to retain all accounts,
printing material, Office furni-
#ture and fixtures. That this
amount was ready for him if he
signed papers to this effect / al
SO know. In my negotiations
with MIN twas understood that
he was to remove his printing
material and plant from this
city, but when stipulation to
that effect was inserted in the
transfer papers, he refused to
sign up. AS far as Mr.. Hans
brough's connection with the
deal is concerned, | only know
that my negotiations have been
with yourself personally. and
with no one else. AS to the
owners of the Journal, their ar
rangement with myself was en-.
tirely satisfactory, as ] was as
|sured tnatsnly money was ready
forame. and the man who told
me this i know to be a man of
his word 1t is only a fair thing
to state that the proposed con-
solidation was one which would
be of benefit to the printing
trade in this city, and also to
every business man here. -Four
papers are an excessive burden
upon a community Of this size,
and three are too many.
Ifsyou wish to use this letter
il your paper you are at liberty
to do SO.
Respe lii yours,
