almost without God. From
what too was the Negro deprived,
There were no laws in the slave
code more rigidly enforced than
those prohibiting educational in
struction. They we're denied the
rights of an American citizen.
They we're not even allowed to
claim their own children. But
no such injustice could long pre-
vail in Democracy like ours.
There were many able and dis
tinguished men among the slave
holders themselves who rebelled
against tho system. Such men
as Thomas jefferson. Henry
Clay, Cassius M. Clay and hun.
dreds Of others never became re-
conciled to the system Of slavery
and the degr adation of the slave.
Hon. Frederick Douglas, the
father of freedom and noblest
orator of his day, did great work
to promote liberty's cause.
Through the influence of his
speeches, the question arose
"Shall slavery be abolishedY' It
was the talk around the firesides
at the dining tables, at the Sun
day schools; it divided the church
and even the nation. In 1860,
Abraham Lincoln, the noblest
man of his race, who is honored
above all others by the American
Negro, was elected President
and with one stroke of the pen,
liberated four million slaves.
The Negro soldiers enlisted in
the army and turned the scale of
victory toward the North at a
critical point.
In 1865, the Negro started out,
destitute of property; void of ed
ucation; but splendid opportuni-
ties we're extended to him by the
white people of both the North
and the South. Thousands of
dollars were given for building
schools and providing b ONES for
the degraded people.
Meanwhile, has the Negro ina
proved these great opportunities
Just forty years ago, there was
not in the entire Southland sim
gle Negro school. Today there'er
10000 Negro school houses, 80,
GOO Negro teachers and three
million Negro school children.
Over As per cent. of illiteracy has
been wiped out. We find thou.
sands of Negroes learning trades,
other thousands successfully op-
Grating many commercial enter
prises, among these several
canks, one cotton mill, and one
silk mill. We find Negroes per.
forming four-fifths of the free
labor of the South. To have'thus
become a strong Industrial factor
of that section is an achievement
of which we need not be asham-
ed.
We refer with a keen sense of
qualification to the 1885 more COL
lege graduates who are helpieg

Queen of Slams Jewels.

The Queen of Siam possesses the
finest collection of jewels in the world.
The walls of her bed chamber are
literally ablaze with precious stones,
while in a safe in her majesty's apart
ments are diamonds, rubies, pearls and
emeralds fashioned into quaint neck
laces of fabulous value. One little ar
ticle alone intended TO serve as a
thimble, is in the shape of lotus
flower and is valued at e15,000.
The king, too, possesses a wonder
full stock of jewels, and not only is his
throne, which is made of pure gold,
thickly encrusted with diamonds,
pearls and rubtes, but his majesty's
state mantle is covered with jewels
In fact, this cloak is the most wonder
full garment in the world. In spite of
his enormous collection OF jewels.
however, the King of Siam is con
stantly adding to them and spends
something like 100000 per annum in
purchasing re- stones.

Necklace Brings III Luck.

An eerie story is told about a neck
lace which formerly belonged to the
maharannee of Cooch Behar, India,
and which is supposed to bring bad
fortune to every one connected with
It. The history of the necklace-of
pearls and turquoises. which are not
usually considered to be unlucky
stones-is certainly peculiar. While it
was in the maharannee's possession
she was robbed of a quantity of valu-
able jewelry and the maharajah lost
some of his best racing ponies by
death and breakdowns. The advice of
a pundit was sought. He prescribed a
change of ownership and a voyage
across the sea in order to break the
spell and the necklace was according
ly given to lady in England. AS a re-
suit the maharajah has begun to win
races again and the maharannee has
received the stolen property. but the
story goes that the present owner Of
the necklace has been the victim of
persistent i'll fortune from the day
that it came into her possession.
