GROVER CLEVELAND.

The many complimentary notices
published in the Negro press of the
country on account of the passing
away Of all that was mortal of Grover
Cleveland, eX-President Of the United
States, form a striking contrast to the
manner in which Cleveland's first
election to the presidency was re-
ceivcd by the Negroes through
out the country. Now all is praise
for those magnificent traits Of
character which Mr.. Cleveland pos
sessed so abundantly. Then all was
gloom, filled with doubts and fears and
wcadcG;nSs Of what his term in office
would bring forth.
When Mr.. Cleveland was candi-
date for President against James G..
Blaine, the prediction was freely
made among the Negroes of the
South, as it had been in pre-
vious campaigns, that if the democrat
ic candidate were elected the Negroes
would be returned to slavery. A sad
sight indeed was presented when the
news came to the former slaves and
their children that Cleveland had won.
Many of these burst into tears and
would not be comforted. Some of these
poor, ignorant men who had suffered
the horrors Of human slavery, were a
pitiable sight as they planned to pre-.
vent their children from undergoing
what they had suffered. Like the
Spartans of old they preferred to see
their children dead.
But Mr.. Cleveland soon made it
plain to these deluded people that it
mattered very little whether a repub-
lican or democrat be in the White
House, their liberty was secure. Like
wise he soon gave evidence that with
him color was not the paramount

the service of the United States. He
was the first President to appoint a
Negro-the late G. H. ]. Taylor-as
minister to a white government and
likewise he was the first man filling
that exalted position to appoint Ne
gro postmaster north of the Mason and
Dixon line.
Mr.. Cleveland came from the ranks
but he was one of the strongest men
to fill the office of President since the
death of Lincoln. From deep hatred
inspired by false reports, the Negro be
came a great admirer of the man who
was more popular than his party, and
with the rest of the country our race
mOurns his loss.

1t is remarkable to note how silent
the Negro press is concerning the out
come of the recent National Republi-
can Convention. The editors seem to
be doing a lot of thinking while wait
ing to hear from Denver and to
read Mr.. Tatt's letter of acceptance be-
fore expressing opinions.

JOKE CN PROFESSOR
UNWiTTiNo VICTIM OF HIS OWN
ADVICE.
Pupil Faithfully Followed instructions
and the Result Was Broken Rest
for the Unfortunate Music
Teacher.

The late Prof. Julius Eichberg,
whose violin col was at one time
one of the most fiourishing institu-
lions o! Boston. enjoyed telling the
following joke which was innocently
played on him by a pupil:
Just before the vacation season he
once inquired Of boy how much he
intended to practice on his violin dur.
ing the summer.
oh, not very much" replied the
youngster.
Not very much. How is that?"
Because !. want to play and enjoy
myself. There are many other boys
where we go summers"
That's very well" answered Eich-
Der" but can you not devote one
hour day to your viol.n?"
No, sir" was the prompt reply.
Half an hour?"
No. not even that. / have no time"
1T is too bad for you will forget
| everything you have learned"
Eichberg stopped minute to think
and then said:
What time do you rise mornings
when on your vacation?"
Very early, sir--between Ave and
SIX"
We'll, that's the best time. Put in
half an hours practice every morning
before you go down to breakfast"
The boy promised faithfully to do
so, and teacher and pupil parted on
the best of terms.
A few weeks later, Eichberg was
peacefully slnmbering in one OF the
cool rooms of fashionable summer
hotel, which he and his family reached
the night before, when he was most
inopportunely awakened by the furi.
GUS screeching of a violin just over
his head.
Il wonder who the plaguey catgut.
scraper is at this hour" grumbled he,
as he looked at his watch, and was
Mortified to see that 1t was not yet six
o'clock.
Sleeping la as was his continental
habit, was altogether out of the ques-
ton for Eichberg that morning. for

fully kept up Just half an hour. and
then suddenly ceased.
BY that time, however. he had
dressed himself and having come
downstairs, was about to enter the
dining room for b. skfast together
with the usual early risers, when he
was joyously greeted by boy with
familiar face, who said proudly:
Il follow your advice, professor. and
have not missed one morning. Have
just put in half an hours practice"
Il know it," grimly answered Eich
berg.
Immediately after breakfast he
! walked to the desk and asked for an
other room.

Direct evidence of the return OF the
same individual bird of migrating
species to particular spot season
after season is not easily obtainable,
but N. C. Beers believes that he has
such evidence concerning chipping
sparrow at Lakewood. n. j., says the
Youths Companion. A few years ago
he heard little bird concealed in the
top Of a maple uttering peculiar
song which he could not recognize.
The next season he heard the same
peculiar song in tree but few
yards from the original point. This
time he identified the bird, which
seemed to have learned song Of its
own. The third year he did not visit
Lakewood at the proper season to
meet his little friend, but the fourth
year he heard and saw 1t again near
the same spot. 1t appeared always to
make its summer home in the trees
on an area not more than two acres In
extent.
