And yet, think what a great Improvement

Gated head without the educated heart.

Court Scene Described.

He described a court scene at the coun-
" seat: A long line Of negroes drawn up
waiting trial and sentence, suffering from
no sense OF shame, incapable of under
standing that they had done disgraceful
things: wondering, childlike, ignorant.
He went along the whole line, he SAID
inquiring from each II he had ever heard
the Ten Commandments read or knew
their contents. Not one could give an
affirmative answer.
He was told by the court attendants
that this was a typical gathering OF prls-
oners, which in number, intelligence and
bearing could be reproduced periodically
at that courthouse.
In the great city of Mobile he went

No Sectional Bitterness.

The absence Of any sectional bitterness
was apparent from the beginning OF the
discussion. Thomas w. Bacot lay dep
uty from South Carolina, who opposed
the creation of a negro bishop, reminded
the house that South Carolina had
memorialized the general convention
which met some years ago in Boston anu
that the question had been decided against
her there.
This was the first point seized upon by
John Cameron Buxton, man of great
size and Of depth of voice. haiing from
North Carolina.
"The gentleman from South Carolina,
he rumbled. says that the whole ques-
ton was discussed at Boston on the
strength OF a memorial from South Caro-
lima. and that it was decided there against
South Carolina. ! want to say that that
is not the first mistake ever made at
Boston on the negro question"
A general laugh greeted this sally'
which DR.. Alexander Mann, the presidenI'
who is a Boston man. did not see nj 10
quell.
He also said" Mr.. Buxton continued
that the negro communicates OF South
Carolina rose up and put the proposit'oh
down. But that was not until after theY
had been put out OF the diocesan counch
~ that diocese. In North Carolina they
were never put out of the diocesan couh-
ell. Their delegates come year after year
TO sit there. They have exactly the same
privileges as the white man, but they %
not take advantage Of them. They never
take part in the discussions.

Keating declares that he had just
stepped back into the hospital when
Allen picked Murphy up bodily and
setting him to one side dashed for

could be stopped he had cranked the

was on this expedition that Cyrus

This experience as copied from the

After we had feasted on the elk We
struck out and soon found an Indian
trail I heard some one comind and
hiding by the side of the trail l cap
tured an Indian. He agreed to guide
us to Fort Umpdua. He took us to
the Coquille river where we found
three canoes with their Indian own

river to the coast. We embarked at
noon on September 13. 1851.

Near the mouth of the river a
party OF Indians held up salmon and
made signs for Us 10 come ashore.

us: the others insisted on going

1t is hard to realize that but a few
decades ago the life of the white
dwellers of the northwest were con-
stantly jeopardized by Indian tribes
who resented thes encroachments up
on the lands which they and their
people had held for years. The pio-
neers of those days could each one
tell tales of thrilling adventures. but
most OF them died with their stories
