ISSA RAYMOI'D, 0F WILTON, CONN.
On May lst,1882, there was published in
the Gamma an article descriptive of scenes
at the house of Mrs. Nathan Comstock, in
Wilton, on the occasion of the celebration,
April 25, of Mrs. Clarissa Raymond’s centen-
nial. It was a rare event and they whose
good fortune it was to then be present ex-
pressed a wish that the central figure in that
pleasant throng might live to see many more
birthday anniversaries. With the strongest,
life is but a thread. It is emphatically so
after more than five score years have been
passed, but Mrs. Raymond, surviving this
almost unprecedented period is still strong in
her strength. The occasion was made, as it
very properly should have been, one of do—
mcstic festivity, and descendants to the num-
ber of more than seventy, representing four
generations, and friends and neighbors ex-
ceeding three hundred called at Mrs. Ray-
mond's house to extend congratulations. She
was able to shake every hand offered, to
speak her earnest appreciation of the privi-
lege which Divine Providence had seen fit to
'vouchsafe in thus prolonging her life, and to
do her full share of the honors in the recep-
tion room and at the dinner table. Should
Mrs. Raymond live until to-morrow, (Wed-
nesday), and her present physical condition
indicates that she is likely to, she will com-
plete her 101st’year and celebrate her 102d
birthday. Drawing near an epoch so won-
derful, the aged lady displays vigor not only
marvellous to contemplate but pleasing to
behold. The records of rare longevity pre-
sent few instances like hers, and she will en-r
ter the second year of her second century
with as fair a promise of iarrying with us
as when, nearly one year ago she celebrated
her centennial. Mrs. Raymond resides with
her only daughter, Mrs. Nathan Comstock, a
well-preserved lady of 77 years. Dwelliugin
the same house she has her grandsonJIr.‘
John Comstock, station agent at Wilton for
the Danbury it Norwalk railroad, who is 58
years old, and his wife, and their son aged
about 30 years, Mr. Frank Coinstock, of Nor‘
walk, calls often with his two children
that they may spend the day with thcii‘great,
great grandmother. ’I‘hcsc, when together,
present the spectacle of live generations un-
der one roof. The aged lady takes the chil-
dren on her knee, and though memory wan-
ders back far into another century, to tell
them, in her quaint, but none the less inter—
esting way. about George Wcshington's first
inauguration taking place in New York City
when she was seven years old; of his death
at Mount Vernon when she was seventeen
years old; of New York City 72 years ago—-
a mere village as compared with what it is
to-day, in the outskirts of which, in what is
now known as Hester street she dwelt dur-
ing the war of 1812; of the fears of diaster
which the presence of British forces on land,
and British war vessels in the harbor excited,
and of the eucouragements to hope for the
success of the American cause through the
American armies, aided by the city malitla,
of which her husband was an honored mem-
ber. Her memory of the past is wonderful,
and if the children could understand, she
might tell them of the chorr of the Presby-
terian church, North Stamford. of which she
was a member 85 years ago. when she was
sixteen, and sang counter from books con-
taining buckwheat notes before church or-
gans had been thwght of, a pitch pipe being
employed to get the key of “Old Hundred,”
“Meat” and the anthem “Before Jehovah's
Awful Throne," and the man who performed
on the bass viol, (the only instrument allowed
in the Sanctuary in those days), was second
only in dignity and importance to the preach-
cr himself. She might tell them of the time
when N orwalk in population numbered in
hundreds less than one half what it is now
in thousands, and of a period long before the
advent of Norwalk’s oldest citizen of today
——Mr. Eli B. Bennett.
Few advance so far in years without losing
some one of the senses, but Mrs. Raymond
has them all, seeing unassisted by glasses,
hearing the slightest sounds, her perceptive
faculties enabling her to take part in conver-
sations, comprehending not only the mean-
ing of what is said to her, but detecting the
nice turns in a story, if one be told, laughing
as heartily as the narrator at the point where
the joke comes in. If she reads, and she
does so rarely of late, it is from a library
comprising three books—the Bible, a work
entitled. “The Life of Jesus Christ," in large
type and printed more than a hundred years
ago, and the “New England Primer,” but
she listens and understands when others read.
If she works, and cheeses few idle moments,
it is with knitting needles as she finds time
and has inclination, and she will bequeathe
to her successors many an object as a souve-
nir, made with her own hands since she
passed her 100th year. 'Adhercncc with the
regularity of clock work to the rule adopted
by her full half a century ago of “Early to
bed and early to rise," has secured to her
much of her present strength of body, and as
a constqucnce each day's incidents, no matter
what they conduce to her pleasure and peace
of mind, morning dawn bringing gladncss to
her heart; evening shadows and fading light
teaching their lesson, winch, it may be; sug-
gest the hour of final departure, tow'ards
_ which she looks, not in fear, but in confi:
dence prepared and waiting, like somegraud
ship with sails furlcd and lines drawn the
better to withstand the closing storm of life.
During hercareer nearly three generations
have sprung into existence and passed away,
' leaving her the survivor of every early com—
panion, and being the only person in her
town, and probably in her state Who is n10"?
than one hundred years old. With what
touching pathos and forcc'of 'clcqucucc may
she not exclaiui: '

‘ APRIL 10, 1883.
The Presi lent called Berlicnt to the front.
but he begged excuse of not. producingr an
essay, having sickness in the family had 1:.-
ken his attention from the subject, but would
open with some scattering remarks.
It is a well—known fact that climate has a
shaping influence on all animal life; and also
even in a few miles distance this is observhbie
in a marked degree sonictiuuza. Animals that
are acclimated are better adapted to that cli—
mate. The Durbams originated in the Bug.
lish fields of Durham, and scum to be more
profitable in that section than elsewhere;
also DCVUDS better adapted to Devoushirc
Durhams, so with other breeds, 'Jerscy, Asy‘
shire, etc; their Constitutions seem stronger
in their natural place of origin. In our case,
the black cattle that used to be among us
seem to have been cxtermiuutcd, and you scl-
dom see them here now, but they were adapt-
ed better than cattle of Down-days. Our
climate seemed to suit them. It generally
needs several generations bred in the country
where you intend to use have to be sought to
bring about the change necessary to . fit them
suitably for it. There seems to be a change
going on, and by selection from our cattle
would be better for farmers than other stock
of forage introductionu I know native cows
that in quality and quantity and for the but-
tor dairy as good as any yet introduct-d.
Oxen of our climate stand cold, winter bet-
ter, are more hardier, will hear more Severe
treatment with less injury. Unless you can
keep Din-hams for generations in a particular
locality they are not as Well adapted to that
as our common stock. The Secretary calls
them shrubs and low breeding, he misnames
them, it is not low breeding, if. is the best
breeding. Wild cattle of the plains of Stutb
America came through Spanish settlers.
Whether our cattle came from Northern
Europe I am not certain, 'but suspect from
Spain.
I think if our cattle were taken as good
care of and fed as cxtravagantly as some of
the imported are, they might be equal to
them in producing what they do. Human
beings sometimes suffer from non-acclama-
tlon as'well as cattle. In imported cattle we
find more disease and need much more care,
ours less. We used to keep ours out all win-
ter without protection to stocks and they
didn’t suffer; try an imported one, and one
cold night will satisfy you that it will not
stand it. In New York City, not long since,
a fuss was made about the cattle in pens not
having shelter, ctc , but the drovers told them
that they had never been under one. And
we believe that this way of renting in the
West is done to a. great extent. The cattle of
to-day are not as hardy as of fiifty years ago,
or even as healthy. Who ever heard of Plura
then? My father used to keep his colts to
the stack and they didn’t seem to suffer.
But now visit a stable ; it, looks like, an
apotiiccary shop, squills, castor oil bottles,
aloes, hoof ointment, a pile of blankets—they
are purged and puked, and what have we
then—a set of horses unsound and almost
unfit for use. It is oftencr the feed than
breed that makes a good horse—We are im-
porting and inoculating disease—when we
might build a breed from stock native, se-
lecting the best adapted to his wants and
neighbrirLood. This may be speculative, but
I think not—think in can be done. We need
here in Connecticut cattle corn-raised. To
be sure we want more good cattle, and I see
no reason why this is not the way to get
them. $4,800 for a cow is speculation—don't
let us believe all we bear. Imported cattle
degenerate upon coming here. President:
I wish to say a word about likelihoods of de-
gcnerntiou is a wrong idea. I can but be»
licvc we are improving and not falling back.
Certertainly we are much ahead of the people
that breed these imported cattle, for in butter
making they produce a very inferior article,
selling the milk in open jars, and placing
them in damp cellars for the cream to rise.
We know better than that here. Thercvis
better ways adopted and generally used here
than that. I supposed it was a settled fact
that we were-progressing in our quality of
stock. In Ireland they have a breed there
called “Kerry breed ;” they will weigh about
250 pounds, or about the size of a good goat ;
do we want them here? If we are to breed
from imported stock let us take the Devon—
a drove of them, pnrc red, fine, handsome
gentle, wide-awake for the New England far-
mer. I’ve seen Jersey oxen-don’t like them;
and the cows, I had one and that died with
the regular consumption. Dudley, I would
say Bcdieut, has some good ideas. but I fail to
see how he can carry out what he proposes.
The trouble would be in starting. We see all
along the street all kinds and colors, and if I
wanted to secure a breed of good cows, I
should select very different stock for bree-
ders than for oxen. For the latter I should
start with the pure Devon—cross once with
something larger. I think you can raise a
pair of 3,000 pound oxen (Devons) it will
cost to raise 4,000 pound Durhams five cents
per pound. The Devon don’t eat so much.
and what they do, does them good, is well
digested, he is compact built, and I have yet
to learn of their being poor milkers. Mr.
Bill. a breeder of Devon grades, said that his
father before him for 50 years and he 50
more had raised this same stock. He exhibi-
ted at the State fair a beautiful herd. I pre-
fer a dark red; black eye, large and full;
anything going on he hears it; and .when
young in easily spoiled; they are intelligent.
I rather think if it is necessary for cattle to,
be acclimated I think the Devons are so.
They come from a healthy climate. I would
like to see the Alderncy with them. I can-
not see how B. can commence on the natives
—-what are they ? They seem to be a mix'
ture of everything. I think that the 00111
necticut Devons are not like those first im.
ported or perhaps imported now. I think
Devon oxen 'ake better than anyother. Sec-
r‘etary : I expect this D. is a full Devon man:
President : I think they would prefer a cross
between Durhamand Devon. 1- have heard
many say the full blood Devon are too “tucked
up.” A. Jackson: Don’t buy the curly kind;
I have had them. When Bedient sends one
back to look up a native to breed from, I can:
not. do it. The meeting thcn adjourned with
the same question, and Bedient agreed to add
a supplement to his talk of this cvcuinv.

A New Work for “Tom-cu.
BY MRS. SARAH K. BOLTON.
The names of Rhoda and Agnes Garrett,
of London, may be familiar to the readers
in any country. to establish the business of
house decoration by women. Seven years
ago these ladies, after three years. of study
under an architect, one of them also learn-
ing business fora year with her father, de-
termined to devote their energies to practical
art. New homes were constantly building.
Computativcly few persons had the time or
taste to furnish them as they should be to
cultivate refinement in their children. Many
know a beautiful thing_;Wl1en '_it 1_ll)f.‘fr.3l‘t}
them, but fey}. know how to 'produce it.
lnharmonlous cblbra a're m‘i'nglcd, and mo'riey'
that might be well used is wasted. Women
of delicacy and education seem naturally
fitted for this business and yet tbeyliad
never taken it up.‘ Tiny could paint: on
china,'ordembroidcra curtain ; but could_thcy
contract in a business way, for the full (lec-
oratiou of a house, make designs for chimney.
pieces, either in marble or wood, for Chan-
dcliers, wall-paper, chairs, carpets and tables,
liire:mcn to work out these designs, and go
day by day to these houses, and ice that
plastercrs, frescocrs and paper-hangers Were
doing their work properly,? '
Yes, and these two. ladies are doing it
now, most successfully. There were runny
to ask why two young ladies oftbe best so-
cial position should care to work at all ?
Why not live with their friends in case or
idleness, till somebody asked them to
marry, or certainly, till they were older
and the opportunity for marriage had possi.
bly gone by? Fortunately, they believed
that a woman should be self-dependent and
useful; and, to do this, she must fit herself“
early in life, by,long training. Woman’s
work is worth little in the market if it be
not skilled labor. - ' I'
Miss ‘Agnes’ Garrett isr-‘thjc sister of Mrs. I“
Fawcett_(thc wife of one of Eug’lhlid's most
honored cabinet ministers and professor in
Cambridge University, Postmaster-General
Fawcett, both he and his wife well known
for their books on political ccouomy), and
the sister also of the able Dr. Garrett Ans
derson, and Miss Rhoda Garrett is‘a cousin
of both.
I recently visited the artistic home of
these ladies, with its furniture inaquict tints,
its delicate cmbroiderics, and its refined
pictures. Some one says (I think it is Em-
ersou) that the world has a. right to know
about those who‘ have benefited it, and the
principle is doubtless correct. Certainly,
women have a right to know concerning
those who in opening up a successful way
for themselves, have madea new vocation
for the sex.
Both are most refined in face and manner,
pleasant of voice, ,bright' in conversation,
yet with that repose that the better class of
Englishwomen always possess, very genial
and cvidcutly_happy in their work; artists,
yet not wearing the swaddliug-clothcs of
wstheticism ;sligbt in phisique; understand-
ing fully their business; intelligent upon all
the topics of Athe day; and blest with prac-
tical common sense. Their home isarest-l
ful and pleasant one. On the easel is a
panel, with flowers partially drawn for the
wall-paper of a house the furnishing of
whose drawing-room alone costs $10,000.
Here are also the drawings for the beautiful
chimney-pieces, one in ebony and rosewood,»
the plaster friezcs, the grates, and the
chandeliers—all tasteful and individual. And
all this takes time, thought and talent.
And how do men work under the super-
intendenCe of women? I think thewerld
respects ability, wherever it finds it, and
cares very little Whether its leaders be men
or women so they are competent to lead. I
suppose the tens of thousands who have
been influenced by Harriet Martins
poltiical writings or George Eliot‘s studies
in psychology care little whether the brain
that led them belonged to a man or a
woman. ,, , . - 4 ,
' In point of fact, Misses Rhoda and Agnes
Garrett have no obstacles of this kind. If a
man does not do his work well or loitcrs
over it. he is hidden to their heme, usually
donning his/Sunday garb, because he is
going to a lady’s house, and is kindly talked
to. He has been used tofiswearing, probably
all his life, so thatwould do little good with
him, and. imaging} miljoritylg of cases he .does
his best a'fterward.‘ 'Th’c” workmen; know
that their employers understand the work
and, itherefore, respect them. Said one of
the foremen, when 1asked by a person. to
have some changes made in the work:—
“Miss Garrett knows what she wants, She
don’t want no advice."
These ladies have taken a few apprentices,
at $500 yearly for three years ; but they are
far too busy to take any who have nota
definite purpose. Girls are often ready to
learn, but parents ’often ask :—“What is the
use in paying out money for. my daughter is
I do for my son, when she will, doubtless,
be married by and by ?” Probably no man
marries a lady who is skilled in music, art,
or in any other direction, but he is proud of
her knowledge. It is a mistaken idea that
men like ignorant or indolent women. They
sometimes like them in spite of'these de-
fects. The money spent by parents for the
musical education of a girl who often cares
nothing for it would be vastlybctler used
in fitting her+o earn her living in this very
changing world.‘ One of the great phila’ni'
thropic guestiOns of the day in England is :
What ‘to do with the thousands of middle-
aged Women who, taught todo nothing well '
made helpless?
Said a friend to me recently:—“I fear
which are in a sense public, will break their
health." This argument has probably been
used for some centuries. I have an impres-
laborious as carrying an infant in onc""
arms day and night; and yctIsupposc it
rarely occurs to people that domestic life
may break down health.
At the Paris Exposition these ladiés had a
beautiful room furnished with their own
designs and much admired by everybody.
Abook on house decoration, written by
them and published by Macmillan & Co.,
deserves _a' very ,wide reading in- America.
Any person. who by hand or pen makes
homes more tasteful and attractive is a
public benefactor. Of course, many of our
houses are beautiful without and within;
yet many others are very ugly square boxes,
costing from five to twenty-five thousand
dollars. The interior of English houses im-
press a stranger as very quiet in coloring,
though perhaps olive and sage green, and
subdued yellow may not always be high art.
With soil. wool or silk hangings for doors
and windows, very low and easy seats, many
foot-rcsts,quuisitc ombroidcrles for mantels,
lire—screens and {cathelic blue china, English
homes suggest great rest and comfort with-
out display. Of course some are vastly ex-
pensive, with their wonderful libraries,
picture galleries, and palatial appointments.
This little book has admirable suggestions.
"Never go out of your way to make a thing
or a material look like what it is not. If a
chimney-piece or a pillar is made of wood,
do not paint it to imitate marble." All of
us remember many a cold-looking hall in
yellow or green-marble paper. The world
hates shame, either in people or things.

archwsys. If a room have a bay window,
a wooden seat fixed in it and covored to
match the curtains, which come only to the
seat and are usually daintily embroidered,
will make one of the most inviting places
in the house. Such a one at Newnham
College, Cambridge, filled with pretty girls,
seemed to me the most charming neck I had
seen in England.
The suggéstions for the bed-rooms are
that “the carpet should never cover the
whole floor”; that “the Windowshavc out-
side shutters and the ugly and inconvenient
Venetian blinds be dispensed with alto—
gether” (Happy thought. Americans always
wonder how English people can endure the
things); single wardrobes (the English seem
not to appreciate capacious closets, dear to
the heart of every American); or dainty dress-
ing-table, in frontibf which ladies in this
country are wise enough to sit while comb-
ing their hair; and tasteful china for the
washstand. The American arrangement for
the dispersion of sewer-gas throughzthe house
by'the'stationary marble wash-bowls, seems
'not to be popular here.

Breed Characteristics of Cattle.
The Jerseys and Guernsey's excel in rich-
ness of milk and fine butter qualities. The
latter are larger than the former, Hercfords
are not large milkers, but the milkis rich.
The bulls make good crosses on nativecows,
and the steers fatten rapidly. The Ayrshircs
are good milkers, and will do Well on short
pastures. Their milk is better for cheese
than for butter. ' Shorthorus are eminently
the beef breed, being of large size and (arly
maturity. Besides being profitable for
either butter or cheese making, the cows,
when dried‘off, fatten remarkably easy and
"make beef or prime quality. The bulls are
handsome, and excellent to grade up native
stock. The Devons are quite similar to the
Hercfords in respect to milking qualifies,
but' smaller in «*siZe, and of deep red color.
As working och, they are celebrated, being
muscular and active. They are thrifty
growers, and mature early ; their beef is of
prime quality. The Pollcd_cattle are profit-
able for beef, especially in the prairies of the
west, and their meat is superior in quality.
The cows’ milk is rich, ,but it is not pro-
duced in very great quantities: The Hol-
steins or Dutch cattle are not for excellent
milking qualities, coupled with the capabili-
ties of makigg good beef; Their peculiar
markihgs‘ make themattractiye is the eye.—

‘ - COAL ASHES-AS A FER-
TILIZER.
A correspondent of the Department
of Agriculture at Franklin, Pennsyl-
vania, writes: I have always believed
that coal ashes had a value for agri-
cultural pnrposes, and have advocated
the free use of them, particularly on
limestone soil. One season I deter"
mined to get closer to the root of the
matter and test their value fully. I
had a. plot of ground on which I had
been unsuccessful for several years in
raising good Early Rose potatoes.
The soil was in the best condition
always. The tops did well. Last
spring I had the ground scored about
six inches deep, placed the cut pota-
toes in the bottom, and filled up with
coal ashes. _.The- plants grow finely,
notwithstanding the dry weather.
The tops did not fall over even after
the weather changed, and I secured a
crop of the very best potatoes for the
table I ever raised. The second ex-
periment was with onion seed and
coal ashes. I put out .five good-sized
beds in seed. In four the seed was
covered with soil; the fifth I covered
with sifted coal ashes." The result
surprised every person that knew of-
the experiment and watched its pro-
gress. 1 have abiding faith in coal
ashes, and am ready to uSc all I can
purchase.

Is it necessary to salt cattle and
horses on pastures? I observe many
people throw down quantities of salt
to cattle and horses on their pasture
grass during the summer season in
this country. I have never seen such
a practice in Great Britain, unless
sometimes upon hay in buildings, or
when storing it away in haying time.
Also, it is frequently used in cooked
food for cattle and horses. I ask, is
there-any necessity or benefit derived
from its use on pastures during the
summer season? If a necessity, how
do the wild animals get salt on their
grass? w. 0. [Salt ‘is admitted by
physiologists to be necessary in a
slight degree to the health or thrift
of all domestic animals. England is
an island, surrounded by salt water,
and stock does not seem to desire it
in localities near the sea coast. But
away from the coast all animals crave
it in a greater or less degree; and
wool-growing and dairying would be
less profitable if the sheep and cows
should not get salt regularly and fre-
quently. This is absolutely true, self
beluga necessity summer and winter.
Deer and other Wild animals get salt
from the numerous brackish springs
called “licks,” and hunters have al-
ways taken advantage of the desire
of wild animals for salt, by lying in
wait at these licks, to shoot the game
frequenting such places. It is not
necessary to throw the salt upon the
pasture—this .being done usually for
convenience. Dnirymen give salt us-
ually every day at milkin time.
Some keep salt in troughs, un er con-
venient sheds, to which the stock has
access at all times.] .
As the old coach roadshave given
way in railways, so conversation has
given way to the press. Men wreak
their thoughts upon expression, not
u talk, but in “copy.”
The Democratic journals are enjoying their
customaryante-Presidential election amuse-
ment in writing up the obituary of the Re-
publican party. In most cases they give it
an elaborate notice free of charge. Its sins
are stated with fulness and its few good
deeds skipped as much as possible. One

confidence of the country, notwithstanding
the fact that it carried six Presidential elec-
that these new employments for women, closely veiled, and with tearsand blushes and tions. —The confidence that it lacked was
probably that of the bulldozers and ballot-
box staffers. But the most remarkable
statement is that the Republican party never
sioa that designihg‘Wall-paper and going in and iifliled her confidence, but after several had any fixed, broad, catholic flaws on
the open air to various houses to see fthat attempts to speak she could only sob an en- questions of public policy, and that it 1“,,

has reached beyond the party rut. Trying to
break up the Union, to save slavery, to flood
the country with irredccmable Greenbacks,
to distroy home manufactures,»and to throw
obstacles in the way of Civil Service reform,
must, therefore, be in the line ol’abroad
public policy from a Democratic standpoint.
But it happens to be such a policy its the
people don't approve and they are in no
hurry to let the pfily die which oppxsrs
that course.

I watched a potter at his wheel one day,
For he was making pitchers out of clay,
The feet of beggar-sand lbeheads of kings,
Dust, blown from old, dead cities far away.
'Not Heaven itself more splendid is and high
Than was this palace, when its kings went
by,. ’
Race after race. The turtle sits here now.
“Where? where ?” she cries. ’But there is
no reply. ' " '
They who endowed with wisdom are like

And. quickly, while the. suns .of . summer

For other grass than that you sit upon
Will,soon be,,springlng from your dust and

When you and I are gone, for We. must go,
They will raise bricks above us and I know
That other bricks_for other tombs than ours
Will out of us be moulded. Be it so.
I do not fear the world. - I do not fear
The leaving it, though I confess'it dear.
We should fear nothing but not living
well
In the only life and world we know of, here.
But come, my friend, since we must pass
away,
Since aliwe are goes back to clay,
What does it matter whether we remain
A hundred years or but a single day.
Be it our care, since pitchers we began.
To hold the heart’s good wine long as we can,
Before the potter molds our dust again.
Into new shapes that are no longer Man.

Broulrer Gardner’s Horoscope.
. “I see by dc papers,” said Brother Gard-
ner, as he motioned to Samuel Shin to drop
one of the back windows—“I see by de '
papers dat Professor Gilliam predicts dot in
1983 do cull‘d man will be in de ascendency
J ist so. We’ll drap two mo' winders an’ dis-
cuss de snbjick a little.
“In one hundred y'ars.‘ dem, ’cordin’ to de
Professor, dc Samuel Shins and Givcudam‘
Joucses, an’ Pickles Smithses of our race
will be at de head of as guv’ment. P’raps
a pusson named Waydown Bebec will be
President of de United States. Whalebone
Howker will-be dc leadin' chief justice of
de highest court in de land. Judge Ca.
duver will be do gub’norof Michigan. Chew-
so Chapman an’ Depravity Johnson will be
do Vanderbilt an’ Gould of dc period. Profs.
Backdown Turner an’ Rice Up Bunker will
flourish at Harvard an? Yale. Three-Ply
Jones, Discount White, Bunko Jackson, an’
odors will be presidents of national banks,
an’ boards of trade, chambers of commerce,
an‘ stock exchanges will be run entirely by
cull’d men.
“It am a beautiful landscape to look upon,
am’ I really pity de poo’ white man. He has
bin lordin’ ober dc world at large so long,
and has made sich progress in science an’
ferlosphy dat it will seem purty tough for
him to saw our wood, clean our alleys an’
black our butes.” _
At this point Reconstructed Taylor began
to stamp his feet and clap his hands and
seek to start an encore, but the president in-
terrupted him with:
*‘Brudder Taylor drap itlv Now draw ycr
feet out of the alley an’. doan' move agin till
de meetin’ am out i’ No doubt you um
tickled half to death, but let see what tickles
you. In a hundred y’ars we am to be top of
de heap. We am to lose our kinks and grow
straight ha’r, our feet am 10 be pared down
our noses am to be trimmed down, our
mouths puckered on a new plan,-an’ we am
to lose our brunette complexions. Den our
heads am to be reshaped an’ rcstuflcd, our
speech filed down and sandpapered, an
we am to progress faster in 100 y’ars dau dc
white man has in 1,000. .I thinkI see us at
de pinnacle! We look awful putty at de
top of do heap! Nobody would know us
as we stan’ erect on the cap sheaf an’ wave de
glorious banner.
“My fren’s,” continued the president, after'
a long and solemn silence, “if Professor Gil-
liam am not a fool, he am de ucx’ best thing
—a crank. One hundred y’ars will not do
what he says. We can't fetch it, We was
bo’n in de wrong time of de moon, brought
up on do wrong sort 0' eatables, an’ edde-
cated in do wrong kind of- skules. We have
an’ shall progress. Our chill'eu will know
mo'. dsn we do, an’ deir chili'en will be a peg
higher, and de day will come when we shall
stan’ higher in all dc arts an’ sciences; but
we must not forgit dc present. Dar am mouths
to feed au’ bodies to clothe an house rent to
pay an’ fuel to buy, an’ be who loses a day’s
work to dream obcr Professor Gilliam’s
prophecy shows his lack of sense. If, arter
all de present members of dis club have been
sleepin' for half a century in de grave, dc
white :mau begins to lose his grip an’ dc
black man begins to cotch on, it will be all
right. Meanwhile, doan’ miss a co". Doau’
be made fools of. Doau’ try to clothe do
chill’cu wid the raiment of a hundred y’ars
thence, an' doan' expeck dat dc predickshuu
dat we‘shali’ ultimately warm our feet in do
halls of congress am gwine to satisfy present
hunger; We ‘will now tighten our belts an‘
pitch into de rcglar order of bizness."—-Ds—

Governor Butler at a recent hearing before
referees was referred to as "the Governor"
several times, when he_ snappishly remarked
to the opposing counsel: "Better drop the
governor—it is true I hold the office, but you
had nothing to do with making me so." “No,”
replied his legal brother, .“that sin is not-
upon my 30111.”,

True joy is a serene and sober emmion;
and they are miserably out that take laugh-
ing for rejoicing; the seat of it is within,
and there Is no cheerfulness like the resolu-
tion of a brave mind. -
We should no more lament that we have
growa old than the husbandman,-when the
bloom and fragrance of spring have passed
away, should lament that summer or autumn
has come.
