we call the attention of our readers to our diminishing receipts4 ,we have been cherishing the hope that we would be spared this necessity4 ,but the receipts in ,february are so much below the receipts of the corresponding month of the previous year1 that unless the loss is quickly retrieved we shall be embarrassed all the rest of the year4 ,in ,february1 a year ago1 we received #ba1hig4gd4 ,last ,february we received only #ab1chi4gi4 ,this is a loss of #i1ejg4ie4 ,until ,february we were well ahead of last year4 ,but the drop is so great that our total receipts up to the first of ,march are #c1dch4af less than they were at the same time the preceding year4 ,in church collections and individual donations1 we are behind #e1chi4ca6 ,we earnestly ask the attention of all the friends of the ,american ,missionary ,association to these facts4 ,what is the reason for so heavy a falling off8 ,are we failing to keep the necessities of our work before the churches8 ,in our thought that the ,association was getting nicely out of the woods1 have we relaxed our efforts and allowed other things to slip in and crowd the ,association out8 ,something has happened4 ,that during the month of ,february--which ought to be one of the best months in the year--only a little over #ab1jjj should find its way into our treasury1 is occasion for anxiety4 ,we have had our bills to pay and we have borrowed the money and paid them4 ,in so doing we have incurred a debt4 ,we could not avoid it without leaving our missionaries unpaid4 ,we must speedily be reimbursed1 or else back again into the hated bondage and hindrance of financial embarrassment we inevitably fall4 ,we appeal to our friends to spare us this humiliation and vexation4 ,we ask this favor1 namely3 ,will pastors and individual friends please take this question of our outlook upon their minds and hearts and make an earnest effort to increase contributions to our work from this time forward8 ,will they try1 during this month and the months intervening before summer vacation1 to secure so much to our treasury that during the summer months we shall be spared the agony of special appeals and special efforts8 8,a prudent man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself40 ,we are urged to be prudent now by the very unpleasant memories of what we have been obliged to do every summer1 for several years past4 ,will you join us in foreseeing the evil and help us to avoid it8 99 99 99 99 99 ,we are from time to time reminded that the old abolition friends of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 are rapidly passing away4 ,they will soon all be gone4 ,there was something in their friendship that challenges our admiration4 ,they gave the ,association such a hearty support that there could be no question but that prayer and gifts went together4 ,so also they have in many instances shown the wisdom of giving generously during life4 ,the recent death of ,mr4 ,lewis ,s4 ,swezey1 of ,rockford1 ,ill41 gives emphasis to these thoughts4 ,he helped organize the ,liberty ,party1 and was one of a few who first voted in the town of ,rockford for ,birney for ,president4 ,though his whole estate did not amount to more than #aj1jjj1 he gave to the ,association a one thousand dollar bond in #ahhe1 and another amounting to seven hundred and fourteen dollars in #ahhf4 ,at his death he left the ,association a life policy of #b1jjj1 and #ejj in his will4 ,he made the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 his residuary legatee1 from which our treasury will probably realize about #e1jjj4 ,his sympathy for the colored people may be seen in the fact that one of the last acts of his life was to give a poor old colored woman in ,rockford a hundred dollars to repair her house4 ,when dying he said to his wife1 8,this seems like crossing the river10 and in response to the question1 8,how does it look on the other side80 replied1 8,very bright1 very bright40 ,and no wonder4 ,he had laid up his treasures where neither moth nor rust corrupt1 and where thieves do not break through nor steal4 ,money given to the ,lord during life is followed with no regrets at the dying hour4 ,were ,christians thoroughly possessed of the conviction that such work as the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 is doing must be prosecuted and sustained as a religious duty1 we believe their offerings would be far more generous than they are4 ,a sense of duty as expressed in their gifts would be accompanied by a sense of delight4 ,our prayer is that the surviving old abolition friends may be long spared us1 and that the places of those who have fallen may be speedily filled with worthy successors4 99 99 99 99 99 8,it is with pleasure ,i assist you4 ,i have made several of our young ladies life members during the past few years1 to get them interested in the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 ,anything ,i can do to help on the good work1 be sure and call on me for1 and ,i will do all ,i can for you40 8,i think the placing of the work of the ,association before individual church members is productive of good results1 as ,i find that only those well informed of the ,society's needs contribute regularly and liberally to its support40 8,we are to make a careful canvass of our congregation1 with a view to increasing our missionary offerings1 and securing a larger number of regular readers for our missionary magazine4 ,can you send us ten or a dozen copies of ,,the ,,american ,,missionary to be used by our district visitors80 8,my gifts to the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 have been necessarily reduced to meet my change in circumstances4 ,i gave five dollars at our last collection1 which was the price of a cushion in my pew4 ,i believe that under the circumstances the hard side of a board will be softer than the soft side of a cushion4 ,there is no special merit in it1 but ,i feel that it is an encouragement to the workers to know that many in the churches are willing to give up little comforts for the sake of them and the cause40 ,,extracts ,,from ,,letters4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the new pastor of the ,park ,street ,church1 ,boston1 ,rev4 ,david ,gregg1 in his first sermon after installation1 discussed the duties of the ,pulpit and the ,pews4 ,one who heard it said at the close1 8,well1 that was a sermon that would please the secretaries of our benevolent societies as well as the rest of us40 ,depend on it1 that any sermon of which such testimony can be borne has two things characteristic of it3 ,one is1 it must be a gospel sermon1 and another is1 it must be interesting4 ,it has been our privilege to read the sermon as reported in the ,boston daily papers4 ,it fills the bill4 ,it is full of the gospel1 and a thrill of interest runs all the way through it4 ,speaking for the ,secretaries of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 we can say they are pleased1 intensely so4 ,here are two brief extracts that sufficiently justify their pleasure3 8,is it the duty of ,park ,street pulpit to accept the service and co-operation of the ,park ,street pews8 ,the pulpit here and now solemnly performs its duty1 and declares its acceptance of co-operation and service4 ,i have come among you for this very purpose4 ,i come to beseech you to throw yourself for all you are worth into the work of the church1 ,i come to command you in the name of the ,lord that you love1 not for yourselves4 ,i greet your locked-up wealth1 and ask it to come forth from the vaults of the bank to meet me and to join me in the work of ,christ4 ,i promise you to be the most liberal man in the world in dealing out your money from your pocket-books1 and in accepting and in giving away your time4 ,i am willing that every righteous and needy cause under the broad heavens shall call upon you for aid4 ,i come among you to tell you that you have the same obligations before ,god to consecrate yourselves and all you have to the gospel that ,jesus ,christ had when he lived his sublime and devoted life4 ,i put a gospel mortgage this day upon the pastor and people of this church1 and upon all that we have1 by way of brain and heart power1 and gold and trade1 and time and business1 and natural endowment and acquired attainment4 ,park ,street pews1 you can offer no good thing to the pulpit of this church1 in order that you may glorify ,christ and build up his cause here1 that the pulpit will not take and publicly credit4 ,this pulpit welcomes to the service of ,christ every agency filled with the spirit of ,christ40 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 8,if we are to realize the possibilities open to us as pastor and people1 we must keep a constant eye upon the land and age in which we live4 ,our age and our country speak to us to-day4 ,because our lot has been cast in them1 they have a claim upon us1 and their voice should be heard4 ,our age is an age telling of ages1 and it commands us to meet the duties of the hour4 ,no relations in life ought to be more helpful for this than our church relations4 ,there is no place for medival fossils outside of a museum4 ,the demand of the hour is for living men and living women4 ,our age is a pivotal age1 a cardinal age1 a burning age1 a crucial age4 ,let us not forget that we are living under the westering sun of the #aith century1 and that this lays us under obligations to be #aith century ,christians4 8,while we forget not the age1 we must not forget the land in which we live1 and which expects an outcome of good from our church relations4 ,america is the land where the battles of the future are destined to be fought4 ,in push of discovery and of civilization there is no land beyond this4 ,the fields of ,america are the outer rim of the earth1 and here the nations of the world1 crowded out of the old lands1 meet1 and here all the great problems and questions of ages must be debated and settled4 ,our land cries for help1 and we can help it4 ,we can give it the gospel of ,jesus ,christ and that is what it needs above all things4 ,the gospel alone carries in it the principles which can solve with safety and finality the social and political questions which are coming to ,america to stay40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,by ,,treaty ,,stipulations the ,chinese in this country are guaranteed the same rights and privileges as are accorded the most favored nations4 ,one ,thomas ,baldwin was arrested by a ,united ,states ,marshal for driving out with force and violence a number of ,chinese residents from the town of ,nicolaus1 ,california4 ,the circuit court refused to discharge him upon a writ of habeas corpus4 ,an appeal was taken to the ,united ,states ,supreme ,court4 ,the ,supreme ,court looked the matter through and found that while the ,united ,states ,government has the power to provide for the punishment of those who deprive the ,chinese of their treaty rights1 there is no statute law by which it can exercise its power6 ,the decision of the circuit court was therefore reversed4 ,justices ,field and ,harlan dissented4 ,in a separate opinion1 ,justice ,field held that if the ,chinese could not be protected in their treaty rights1 neither could the subjects or citizens of any other nation4 ,this is a beautiful attitude for the great ,united ,states to be placed in before the eyes of the world4 ,making treaties when it has not power to compel its own citizens to observe them6 ,what a farce4 ,is it to be supposed that if this were understood nations would go to the trouble of making treaties with us8 ,were the questions at issue about the ,chinese raised in regard to subjects of ,great ,britain or ,germany or any of the first or even second-class powers of ,europe1 is it to be supposed that any such a decision would have been formulated and promulgated by our ,supreme ,court8 ,we do not question the ability nor the integrity of our justices4 ,the probability is that in the strict construction of the law they are right4 ,but even judges1 when put to it1 can sometimes find such latitude in the field of interpretation as to warrant them in setting aside mere technicalities rather than to allow justice to be defeated4 ,that such eminent jurists as ,field and ,harlan found interpretations that justified them in dissenting2 that the circuit court in ,california found reasons for refusing to release ,baldwin from custody1 would certainly indicate that the decision is fairly challengeable4 ,it is a national humiliation4 ,it ought to be so felt by the people4 ,it would be so felt if regard for right and justice were supreme in the national heart and conscience4 ,it is to be hoped that this matter will be brought by the proper authority1 as soon as practicable1 to the attention of ,congress1 and that the ,united ,states ,government will speedily be clothed with statutory power to enforce its own treaties4 ,if this decision shall have the effect of getting us out of the painful predicament that it reveals our ,government to be in1 we may reluctantly accept it as a means of grace4 ,meanwhile even ,china is on record as being far more ,christian in her treatment of our people than ,christian ,america is in its treatment of hers4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,money ,,compensation is a very poor return as an offset to outrage4 ,congress passed the bill appropriating #adg1gej to indemnify the ,chinese sufferers from the ,rock ,springs riots4 ,hon4 ,wm4 ,walter ,phelps1 representative from ,new ,jersey1 spoke words upon its passage for which every ,christian in the country must feel grateful4 ,said he3 8,i want to pay this amount because the ,chinese ,government asked for that sum4 ,the sum represents only the property destroyed4 ,the ,chinese ,government knows that our ,government never likes to pay a claim in full1 so it wisely presents its bill only for the property destroyed1 and says nothing of #bh men murdered--nothing of #ae men wounded--nothing of #gjj ,chinese hunted for ten days with club and rifle like rabbits1 until they were dispersed into the wilderness and their village was made an ash heap4 8,in the time when ,great ,britain was at war with ,china1 an ,american citizen named ,edwards was arrested by mistake as an ,englishman1 imprisoned from sunrise to sunset1 and then released4 ,the ,chinese ,government paid #ca1fjj for the injury done to his person and to the dignity of the ,united ,states4 ,there were #gjj ,chinese who suffered at ,rock ,springs--all of them more than this man4 ,we hesitate to pay them #bjj each4 ,recall the familiar story of heathen generosity--how ,china once gave us #gjj1jjj and said3 #8,take it and pay the claims of your citizens4' ,we took it2 we paid the claims with twelve per cent4 interest1 and there was enough left to return #bjj1jjj to the ,chinese ,government4 8,if this seems ancient history1 long after the ,rock ,springs massacre there was a riot in ,ching ,king4 ,the rabble destroyed property belonging to the ,american ,methodist ,missionary ,society4 ,the ,chinese ,government has already paid #be1jjj for these losses2 and also1 since our discussion on this bill1 a riot1 under similar circumstances1 at ,shanghai1 destroyed other missionary property4 ,the ,chinese ,government has paid this bill too1 #e1jjj4 8,i have no heart to speak of the obligations founded in the international law4 ,i don't want even to refer to the treaty1 where we pledged ourselves to exert all our powers to devise measures for the protection of ,chinese subjects in this country4 ,it is not on the ground of legal1 but of the moral obligations that ,i prefer to rest this claim40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,our ,,treatment of the ,indians is very much like the way a kindly parent allows his judgment to be at the mercy of the pranks of his mischievous boy4 ,the boy takes a stick1 and chasing a dog1 pokes it and pounds it till the maddened brute turns upon his tormentor and bites him4 ,this enrages the father1 who forthwith takes his gun and shoots the dog4 ,in strict justice he ought to have taken the stick and applied it to the back of the boy4 ,the good man had no ill will whatever toward the dog1 nor would he ever have thought of shooting it had the poor brute been let alone and not tantalized into biting the boy4 ,but the dog having been enraged so as to become dangerous1 there was nothing left but to destroy it4 ,white men--some of them not even citizens of the ,united ,states--in violation of law enter the ,indian reservation1 steal the ,indians' ponies1 drive off their cattle1 shoot down a few of the ,indians for resisting them1 or perhaps for the mere fun of the thing4 ,the ,indians1 maddened by the wrongs inflicted upon them1 go on the war-path4 ,the savage stirred with anger strikes back1 and the innocent with the guilty--if indeed the guilty do not go scot free--are made to suffer4 ,had the ,indian been let alone he would have remained peaceful and quiet and friendly4 ,but by desperadoes he has been maddened to go on the war-path in vengeance1 to retaliate for wrongs he has suffered4 ,then follow the blood-curdling stories of ambuscade and massacre4 ,popular indignation is roused4 ,extermination of the ,indian is demanded4 ,there is nothing left now for ,uncle ,sam to do but to send his army and put the ,indian down4 ,a pity that the chastisement cannot be inflicted on those whose wickedness started the mischief4 ,,bishop ,,whipple bears the following testimony to the good effect of making the ,indians feel the responsibility of individual distinctive effort for themselves by vesting them with individual rights of property and by compelling them to live by their own labor3 8,twenty years ago we began with a small number of ,indians at ,white ,earth ,reservation4 ,they were wild folk1 used only to savage life4 ,now there are #a1hjj people living like civilized beings4 ,they have houses built by themselves4 ,they are self-supporting4 ,it is an orderly1 law-abiding1 peaceful community4 ,in religion they are about equally divided between the ,episcopalian and ,catholic churches4 ,the laws are administered by an ,indian police4 ,this year they raised #dj1jjj bushels of wheat and #cj1jjj bushels of oats4 ,they have a herd of #a1bjj or #a1ejj cattle1 several hundred horses1 swine1 sheep and fowls4 ,they are proud of their homes and of living in them like white people4 ,they are as neat and orderly as old-fashioned ,dutch housekeepers4 ,they are excellent cooks1 too2 they never need to be shown twice how to cook anything4 ,their sewing is the most beautiful ,i ever saw2 it is impossible to see the stitches4 ,they have made all the carpets and bedding ,i have in my house4 ,the contrast1 therefore1 between these ,white ,earth people and the scattered bands of ,chippewas shows plainly what can be accomplished with them by adopting right methods4 ,the latter are utterly degraded40 99 99 99 99 99 ,in the ,february ,,missionary we commented on the causes which had led the ,executive ,committee of the ,freedmen's ,aid ,society of the ,methodist ,episcopal ,church to direct the ,trustees of the ,chattanooga ,university to ask ,professor ,caulkins for his resignation4 ,this the ,trustees refused to do1 and1 in view of a current expectation that colored students would again seek admission1 they have passed a series of 8whereases0 affirming that the ,university was designed for white pupils1 and not intended to be a mixed school2 that well-equipped schools for colored pupils were easily accessible2 that to admit colored students would injure the school1 defeat the object for which it was established1 alienate the races and prove especially detrimental to the interests of the colored people2 that the ,general ,conference had declared the question of mixed schools to be one of expediency 8to be left to the choice and administration of those on the ground1 and more immediately concerned10 and then wound up with a resolution declaring that they deemed it inexpedient to admit colored students to the ,university1 and instructed the ,faculty to administer accordingly4 ,such action on the part of the trustees could not be permitted to pass unnoticed4 ,the ,executive ,committee of the ,freedmen's ,aid ,society called a meeting of the ,board of ,managers1 and submitted for consideration the above-noted 8whereases0 and 8resolution40 ,the whole subject received full consideration4 ,we have not space to publish the report in full1 but it is all summed up in the last resolution1 as follows3 8,resolved1 ,that if the ,chattanooga ,university fail to secure the resignation of ,prof4 ,wilford ,caulkins1 to take effect at a date not later than the close of the present school term1 and to so modify its action as not to exclude from instruction in that institution students on account of race or color2 i4 e41 if the said university fail in either of these particulars1 we hereby instruct our ,executive ,committee to secure1 by agreement1 if possible1 with the ,trustees of said ,university1 the immediate termination of the contract between the ,chattanooga ,university and the ,freedmen's ,aid ,society2 and1 in case a termination of said contract be not secured by mutual agreement1 in either of the contingencies named above1 to notify the ,trustees of the ,chattanooga ,university1 within sixty days from this #bdth day of ,february1 #ahhg1 of the termination of the contract as provided in the same40 ,this brings matters to an issue4 ,we congratulate the ,board of ,managers of the ,freedmen's ,aid ,society upon the stand taken4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,writes a teacher in ,georgia3 8,with the close of #ahhf many left our school1 some to teach in the public schools and others to engage in any work that they could find4 ,over thirty schools have been supplied with acceptable teachers from our schools40 ,we have here an illustration of what is taking place more or less in connection with all our schools4 ,we are supplying teachers for the public schools of the ,south4 ,reports that tell only of what our missionaries are doing among those whom they personally reach1 fall far short of that larger work1 which1 through their scholars1 they are doing all over the ,south4 ,think of the difference between a school taught by a ,christian teacher and one under the care of a godless teacher4 ,the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 is sending out ,christian teachers4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the ,charleston ,news and ,courier is authority for the statement that one thousand and fifty-seven colored people of that city have deposits in the local savings banks amounting to #abd1icf4 ,the person who has the largest deposit1 #f1gdg1 to his credit1 is a pure-blooded ,african1 but a born financier4 ,he has recently bought a valuable plantation for #aj1jjj1 and has paid #g1jjj of the purchase-money4 ,the ,news and ,courier adds3 8,there are thousands of active and thrifty colored men in the ,state who have bought land since the war1 and who are steadily collecting about them the comforts and many of the luxuries of life4 ,comparatively few of the colored people entertain decided notions of economy or have any faith in ,government savings banks1 but the wealth they have hidden away in old stockings and the money they are investing from year to year in lands and houses1 if it could be rightly estimated1 would prove a pleasing revelation40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,end ,,of ,a ,,distinguished ,,life4 ,the death of ,rev4 ,henry ,ward ,beecher has evoked a widespread expression of interest4 ,his funeral was more like that of some distinguished statesman1 over whose bier all political and religious differences are forgotten and only the good connected with his life remembered4 ,it was certainly a most remarkable demonstration4 ,and why all this8 ,because he had worked himself into the popular thought as the faithful champion of reforms and measures that touched the popular heart4 ,his pulpit power1 as an orator1 made ,brooklyn famous the world over4 ,his splendid victory in turning the tide of ,british opinion on the side of the ,union as against secession by his marvelous speeches in ,england1 challenged and won the admiration of his countrymen who were loyal to the integrity of the republic4 ,but what more than anything else created an affection that his death has resurrected1 and that will make his name famous so long as its memory remains1 was his fearless and uncompromising ,abolitionism4 ,plymouth pulpit was a battery whose shot and shell made continuous breaches in the defenses of slavery during the days preceding the great conflict1 and when the conflict came1 it was heard as a voice in trumpet tones calling the people to battle and steadying them in courage and determination4 ,the preacher saw with prophetic eye not only the preservation of the ,union as the issue1 but the emancipation and enfranchisement of the slaves4 ,mr4 ,beecher was1 therefore1 always the friend of the ,american ,missionary ,association4 ,for eleven years he was one of its vice-presidents4 ,at ,lawrence1 ,mass41 in #ahgj1 he preached its annual sermon4 ,its representatives have always been welcome to his pulpit1 and its work has always been sustained by the contributions of his people4 ,it was fitting that the same man who had been the undertaker for ,john ,brown and ,owen ,lovejoy should perform the same service1 as he did1 for ,mr4 ,beecher4 ,it was fitting that a ,virginia ,confederate general and former slave-holder1 and a ,massachusetts colored commander of the ,william ,lloyd ,garrison ,post of the ,grand ,army of the ,republic1 should march arm in arm1 as they did1 at the head of the procession when the body was carried to ,plymouth ,church under escort of the #acth ,n4 ,y4 ,regiment1 of which ,mr4 ,beecher was the chaplain4 ,it was fitting that the last letter ,mr4 ,beecher wrote1 and which he left unfinished1 should be1 as it is1 about a colored man and the word of ,god4 ,and it is fitting that ,,the ,,american ,,missionary should join1 as it does1 with the tens of thousands who testify to the wonderful power1 the marvelous achievements1 the great value of the varied ministrations of this justly distinguished and remarkable man1 and who thank ,god that the transcendent wealth of his great mind1 and tender1 sympathetic heart was consecrated to the service of the loving ,father1 who bestowed it1 in behalf of liberty1 justice1 equity and right4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,negro ,,on ,,the

statistical uses4 ,but all the correspondents report an ambition to accumulate property1 and the accumulation of more and more every year4 ,the great mass of the blacks are not real estate owners4 ,the great mass of black families are yet tenants2 but the progress making in the acquisition of land seems to be satisfactory4 ,in most ,southern communities1 land is yet very cheap1 and the mere ownership of land does not argue material prosperity to any great extent2 but the ownership of homes does argue a social advancement that is exceedingly significant4 ,there is reported from some communities a lingering opposition by the whites to the disposition of land to ,negroes4 ,but this has had the natural effect to make the ,negroes the more ambitious to become land-owners4 ,in most communities this opposition seems to have disappeared1 or at least to have taken the modified shape of opposition to the ,negroes' acquisition of the most desirable land for residences4 ,the race is indisputably laying the foundation for all healthful progress4 ,the ,system of ,wages1 ,credit1 etc4 ,there is very general complaint of the credit system which prevails in most ,southern communities4 ,the most grievous shape this takes is the payment of wages in supplies1 whereby an oppressive interest is exacted1 and by the nature of the system generally made necessary4 ,by such a system the thrifty are taxed to make up for the thriftlessness of the rest4 ,it is at this point1 in fact1 that the industrial servitude which yet lingers as a relic of slavery obtrudes itself most oppressively4 ,the abolition of this system is necessary for the material advancement of the ,south--of both races alike2 necessary for the elevation of the laborer and for the promotion of his efficiency2 necessary as a corollary to the ,emancipation ,proclamation2 and necessary as a means of freeing the whole system of ,southern labor 7the employer as well as the employee7 from inefficiency4 ,no conceivable amount of extraneous capital invested in the ,south would so add to material prosperity as the abolition of the credit and supply system4 ,the labor problem there is to effect this emancipation4 ,as for wages1 they are low1 but their lowness is not itself a cause of distress4 ,it is the system which keeps them low and keeps labor inefficient and taxes thrift and skill1 and puts a premium on thriftlessness and untrustworthiness1 that does the damage4 ,the gist of the whole problem is here4 ,the ,races and the ,laws4--,the statutes of the ,southern ,states are not a matter of complaint1 except the bastardy and marriage laws2 but there is a very general opinion that in the execution of the law1 race prejudice appears4 ,one correspondent lays great stress on a fact which several others mention1 that many ignorant blacks often fancy that they are the victims of injustice when they are not4 ,the opinion of the colored practitioners of law is practically unanimous that a ,negro tried for certain crimes is more likely to be convicted than a white man for the same crimes1 and likely to pay a heavier penalty where the penalty is discretionary with the court or jury4 ,the marriage and bastardy laws of several ,southern ,states at least concentrate the pressure to crime at the weakest social point1 and do not give the ,negro woman a fair chance1 nor the same protection or reparation that the white woman has4 ,schools and ,churches4--,in the answers to the inquiry whether the ,negroes themselves prefer separate or mixed schools and churches1 a peculiar state of feeling was made plain in this regard--that 8union0 or 8mixed0 schools were opposed by the colored teachers because the white teachers would then have a monopoly of the business of teaching4 ,this implies a belief that the ,southern whites would teach ,negro schools if it were made profitable4 ,the dominant sentiment of the colored people is decidedly in favor of the present system of separate schools and churches2 but they prefer them because mixed schools and churches would emphasize and provoke the race prejudice4 ,as an independent question1 apart from the difficulty of readjusting a plan now almost universally adopted1 they would prefer mixed schools and union churches4 ,the most intelligent of these correspondents1 even as things are1 favor mixed congregations and schools as a means of eradicating race prejudice4 ,it is worthy of notice that several correspondents declare that the separation of the congregations of the same creed on the color line has had much to do toward causing the blacks to doubt the sincerity of the religion of those who1 though they teach that their religion is universal in its application1 allow it to yield to race feeling4 ,this is a significant confession for colored men to make2 and it is worthy of the attention of the ,southern churches4 8,civil ,rights40--,there is a unanimous protest in these letters against the discrimination made between the races on public thoroughfares1 and at places of amusement4 ,the desire of the colored people for the obliteration of the color-line in these places seems to be universal and is strong4 ,the ,most ,pressing ,need4--,in answer to the inquiry1 8,what is the greatest hindrance1 and the most pressing need of the race80 the ,negro's appreciation of instruction1 and his ambition to be educated1 were forcibly expressed4 8,education is the greatest need10 is the answer in substance of every correspondent4 ,in the replies it was made plain that the race is prepared for an important prohibition movement4 ,drink is thought to be the greatest hindrance by a large number of the colored lawyers and teachers1 as well as preachers4 ,this points to a probably early agitation of prohibition over a wide ,southern area4 ,the colored man himself appreciates1 too1 the necessity of practical instruction1 instruction in the trades4 ,morality and the ,mixture of ,races4--,a general moral improvement is what the ,negro himself believes his race is making2 and this belief is in itself strong evidence that this judgment is sound4 ,but the dominant opinion is that the black race is already perceptibly disappearing4 ,colored men are everywhere reported to prefer light-colored women4 ,there is a race pride on the ,negro's side as well as on the white man's against intermarriage4 ,but the ,negro has1 nevertheless1 reached the conclusion1 if these letters are representative of the race's opinion1 as they are believed to be1 that the pure ,african will become rare in a very few generations1 and that he is doomed to extinction4 ,it remains to be said that the letters which have been received in answer to these inquiries show not a little mature thought4 ,they show1 too1 a profound interest in all phases of the subject4 ,the ,negro is at least seriously thinking over the problems that his presence presents4 ,many of these correspondents have expressed great interest in this investigation1 and have put themselves to no little trouble to make it full and fair4 ,the sincerity and frankness of these letters have spoken for themselves4 ,a deep moral purpose pervades most of them that is impressive4 ,they emphasize the conviction that the race is making an heroic struggle1 according to its opportunities for advancement4 ,that the ,negro is true to his race1 moreover1 is a fact of some importance4 ,the educated are working to educate the rest4 ,it is noteworthy1 moreover1 that out of all the answers received only two displayed bitterness of race feeling4 ,the ,negro's temper1 as shown in this correspondence1 is the temper of a patient1 charitable worker for a great purpose4 ,and1 above all1 the ,negro has faith in the ,negro4 ,it has not occurred to a single correspondent to express doubt of the continued advancement of the whole race40 ,n4 ,y4 ,,independent4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,religious ,,doggerel4 ,the ,sweet ,songster is the name of a little hymn

scattered through the book1 but often sadly marred by omission1 alteration or addition4 ,some of the original effusions are ludicrous in the extreme4 ,the poet shows his estimate of education as he

eye-- ,the atmosphere calm1 and serene was the sky1 ,so calm1 still and awful--tremendous the sight-- ,i thought the last judgment was drawing to light4 ,the dead all arose immediately then1 ,and

body or sound2 ,my joys were unspeakably full of delight1 ,so loud was the music it wakened me quite4 ,we were pleased in the perusal of these hymns to notice that the poet's theology took in apparently all men in its broad sweep4 ,we said here is a man who does not recognize the color line in his thought of ,god's redeeming love4 ,it takes poetry to expand the soul above prejudice and caste--when lo1 we stumbled across the following3 ,roll forward1 dear ,saviour1 roll forward the day ,when all shall submit and rejoice in thy sway1 ,when white men and ,indians1 united in praise1

poet drooped as he essayed this loftiest of flights4 ,we are thankful1 however1 that he did let the ,indian come in for a part in the hallelujah4 ,the war-whoop would not at all be out of harmony in his kind of a hallelujah chorus6 ,that this 8sweet singer in ,israel0 ,d4,d4 should make some of his songs take on the form of ,scripture exposition is what we might expect1 as witness3 ,there was a man in ancient times1 ,the ,scriptures doth inform us1 ,whose pomp and grandeur and whose crimes ,were great and very numerous4 ,the man fared sumptuously each day ,in purple and fine linen2 ,he ate

above are samples of versification that we have selected from this ,sweet ,songster1 that our readers may see for themselves the kind of ,christian instruction some white people in certain portions of

state the case too strongly1 but it is a fact that the ,indian girls of the ,apache tribes are very bright and are more docile and make more rapid progress than any equal number of white children ,i have ever seen in the course of more than twenty years' experience in teaching40 ,there are #ddg of these ,apache ,indians held as prisoners of war in the old ,spanish fort at ,st4 ,augustine1

99 ,are the colored people accumulating property8 ,this is a question often asked by the interested friends of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 work4 ,let two facts emphasize the affirmative to this question4 ,in ,oaks1 ,n4 ,c41 the colored people have purchased more than five hundred acres of land and built their comfortable cottages around the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 school and church4 ,when we remember that the average wages of a working man in that region is not above ten dollars a month1 and that the average colored family is not fashionably small1 the purchase of this real estate proves that they have carefully economized their scanty earnings4 ,take another fact3 ,in ,thomasville1 ,ga41 the colored people paid taxes on three thousand one hundred dollars worth of property in #ahhj4 ,in #ahhe1 this same people paid taxes on ninety-five thousand six hundred and six dollars worth of property4 ,in five years they had multiplied their taxable property more than thirty times4 ,this represents no unhealthy

,,university4 ,not since #ahha have we enjoyed in this institution so thorough and satisfactory a work of grace as during the last few weeks4 ,indeed1 on only one or two occasions in its history have so many been reached and been led to enter upon the better life4 ,the special interest began during the week of prayer which was observed by holding a meeting each evening1 and a spirit of inquiry was early manifested and a goodly number promptly confessed ,christ as their ,saviour4 ,much personal work was done by teachers and older pupils and many who had been negligent and careless1 made confession and renewed their covenant4 ,short meetings were continued for a few days longer1 and the seed-sowing and the harvest went on together1 and every day some gain was made1 and one after another came to a decision1 until nearly all the students in the family and many of the day pupils were deeply interested1 while some who had withstood many good influences for a long time yielded to the claims of ,christ and took up his service4 ,there was a quiet and gentle influence manifested in all our meetings so that without noise and confusion and without protracted services1 the work was done and the blessing came as the dew or the rain from ,heaven4 ,no strangers were called in to help1 and no unusual means were employed1 and only ten extra meetings of a general character1 most of them of less than an hour's duration1 were held4 ,thus far the new converts1 over thirty in number1 and representing about twenty-five different towns1 have stood the test well1 and most of them are proving by fidelity in daily duties the reality of their religious experience4 ,absent pupils have been reached by the same good influence1 as well as some former students1 and the scholars have been encouraged to write to parents and friends1 and thus it will be easily seen how far a light kindled here may shine and how valuable and precious a reviving at this center may become4 ,we hope that a few who resist may be softened1 that the timid and halting may be brought in and the great company of day pupils may be affected and the neighborhood toward which we are reaching out more than we have1 will be blessed4 ,we are very grateful for these blessings1 to the giver of all good1 and very humble in view of our unworthiness1 and very hopeful for larger and continued gifts4 ,c4 ,w4

twelve miles or so distant1 and the windows of heaven were just being opened after a remarkably dry winter1 so that when ,mr4 ,pope said to one of the teachers who had not been at ,mt4 ,hermon for

in starting1 all would have been well1 for they were within four miles of their destination when darkness and tempest settled round them so densely and drenchingly that the last third of the way consumed three hours of time1 since it was frequently necessary to stop a few minutes and wait for a flash of lightning to reveal the road4 ,the faithful horse was bewildered1 and persisted in veering to the right1 as if to get nearer the driver4 ,this finally led to the complete overthrow of the buggy1 the right wheels running up a bank and striking a projecting root4 ,mr4 ,pope was out in an instant and at the horse's head1 his companion disentangling herself and scrambling out more slowly1 stepping into several inches of soft clay and leaving an overshoe1 which must be pawed for in the darkness1 and1 upon securing it1 taking her place at the horse's head4 ,it was found necessary to take poor ,rob out of the shafts1 when he gave one or two scrambling leaps up the slippery bank and

to some of us1 while in ,hartford ,theological ,seminary1 more than fifteen years ago1 by a missionary from ,africa1 and he gave us some illustrations to prove his point4 ,i was forcibly reminded of this a few weeks ago as we elected two ,indians to serve as deacons1 the first ,indians ever chosen to fill that place in the history of this church1 for during the first eleven years of its existence there have been white men connected with it who have filled that office acceptably4 ,some time ago1 however1 the last one left us1 and after waiting a while in vain to see if some other men would not come1 who would serve in this capacity1 we decided that it was best to choose ,indians for the place4 ,one of these has had a remarkable history4 ,about thirty years ago or more he was baptized a ,catholic1 but when1 after a short stay1 the ,catholic priest left these ,indians1 not to return again1 he1 with the rest of these ,indians1 relapsed to their heathenish ways4 ,twelve years ago he was noted for drinking and for the sly ways in which he could procure his liquor4 ,in #ahgf he had great trouble with his wife and wished to leave her1 but the ,agent would not allow it4 ,a long trouble followed1 in which the ,agent and prominent ,indians tried every way they could think of to make them live peaceably together4 ,one day the ,agent with two friendly ,indians went to arrest him1 but1 with the help of his uncle1 he knocked down the ,agent1 broke out a window and got away4 ,he was pursued all day1 but was not taken1 and at night was helped off by his relations1 and he ran a long way off4 ,for this his relations were locked up in jail1 which brought them to terms1 and they induced him to return so that they could be let out1 and he served six months in jail4 ,after that he secretly left his wife1 took another1 and went to another reservation1 sixty miles distant1 but in time1 with the help of another ,agent and two soldiers1 he was again taken and conveyed to ,fort ,townsend1 where he worked six months more1 with a soldier and bayonet to compel him to do so4 ,a year or two afterwards he returned to ,skokomish4 ,he said that he had reformed1 but was still a ,catholic1 and he held some ,catholic services at his own house4 ,for a year or two1 however1 they did not amount to much1 as hardly anybody attended them4 ,in #ahha affairs changed1 and through the death of a prominent ,indian1 the ,catholics became quite strong1 mingling with their teachings spiritualistic revelations from the dying man1 and he was their priest4 ,the next year another ,indian professed to die1 receive revelations1 and come to life again1 and he originated a religion which was composed of ,protestantism1 ,catholicism1 spiritualism1 the old ,indian religion1 and a nervous twitching1 similar to the jerks prevalent in the ,southern and ,western ,states fifty years ago1 and which gained for them the name of ,shakers4 ,for a few months they carried things with a high hand1 and he was an acknowledged leader4 ,the ,catholic religion1 however1 grew to be a very small part of their services1 while the shaking grew to be very large1 so that their heads and hands were sometimes shaking night after night1 six hours at a time4 ,to save them from becoming crazy1 with the advice of the physician1 the ,agent put a stop to this1 but told them they might continue their ,catholic services1 if they wished1 as he had no right to interfere with their religion as a religion4 ,but they gave up everything1 and asked me to teach them4 ,i gladly did so1 and a year afterwards1 in the fall of #ahhd1 he united with our church4 ,thus he has been by far the most troublesome ,indian of any here1 both to ,church and ,government4 ,for more than two years he has done well in the church1 and now1 with my approval and with the unanimous consent of the members of the church1 he has been chosen their deacon4 99 99 99 99 99 ,as ,i write1 an ,indian sits before me dressed in leggins with two blankets around him1 and a comforter tied over his head4 ,he has come to get his horses shod1 and as the blacksmith is away1 he has to wait4 ,he has sat stolidly most of the day1 his horses out in the cold--the thermometer is about #ab or #ad degrees below zero4 ,as he has sat here without an expression of a single emotion passing over his face1 he has occasionally drawn a deep sigh4 ,he knows his life is wretched1 and yet it would take almost a miracle to arouse him to activity enough to render his life comfortable4 ,as ,i contrast him with my own boys and girls1 with the emotions aroused by mental activity chasing each other over their faces1 ,i feel that their lives will be happier and1 ,i hope1 better than his4 ,,teacher ,,among ,,the ,,poncas4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,chinese4 ,several articles savagely anti-,chinese having appeared in a ,knights of ,labor paper published in ,marlboro1 ,mass41 ,rev4 ,a4 ,f4 ,newton sent to the editor the following vigorous reply3 8,we understand the purpose of the laboring classes in their organizations and publications is to promote the best interests of our suffering fellow men4 ,and this we do wherever we find a man who has fallen among thieves on the ,jericho road4 ,the fact that he has on the wooden shoes of ,holland1 or the queue of ,china1 or the corduroy pants of ,ireland1 does not prevent our performing our duty to him as a fellow man4 ,and any one who abuses any man because of the land of his birth deserves severe censure from every right-minded man who labors with hand or head4 8,your inconsistency1 ,mr4 ,editor1 appears when in one place you say of the ,chinese1 #8,this town is afflicted with but few of them1 thank ,god1 and the sooner they disappear the better4' ,and in another column you say1 #8,we are willing to do anything possible to aid in promoting charity1 but if creed or nationality is to be considered in bestowing it1 just count us out4' ,what is your creed8 ,the one in which you thank ,god this town is afflicted with only a few of one nationality1 or the one in which you propose to be counted out unless charity shall be bestowed regardless of creed or nationality8 ,the man who tries to ride two horses is apt to fall4 ,inconsistency always appears ridiculous4 ,we hope the prayer in your #8,thank ,god' does not put you under the condemnation of ,proverbs #bh3i4 8,in behalf of every nation in ,america1 we protest against the abuse of any people1 whether they come from the banks of the ,shannon1 or of the ,rhine or the ,po1 the ,danube or the ,hoang ,ho4 8,it is urged against the ,chinese in one of your columns that their great sin is in the fact #8that ,california has been drained of over #bjj1jjj1jjj during the last twenty-five years4' ,this is an average of #hjj1jjj per year4 ,but surely this is not a great offence1 for ,mr4 ,michael ,davitt1 at ,madison ,square ,garden1 ,new ,york city1 recently urged #8that millions of dollars had been sent from this country to gladden the poor ,irish peasants4' ,every true man will rejoice that the peasantry of ,ireland and ,china and ,germany can be gladdened with money honestly earned by their friends in ,america4 ,the heart of one peasant is as precious in the sight of the ,lord as the heart of any other peasant so far as we know4 8,we have always held that it was mean for a great strong man to strike a small one4 ,when we see this done we feel like saying1 #8,take a man of your size4' ,on this principle we shall never admire the #ag1jjj1jjj laboring men attacking the #abe1jjj now in our country4 ,we do not believe any one has correctly sensed the heart of true workmen when he tries to win their favor by abusing the few harmless industrious celestials4 8,what are the charges you have to make against these ,chinese8 ,are they disturbers of the peace1 are they thieves1 are they licentious1 are they riotous or drunkards or paupers8 ,are they the burden of our courts8 ,if there be anything ,i denounce it is national prejudice4 ,will you denounce an ,irishman because he came from ,ireland1 or a ,chinese because he came from ,china8 ,i will not4 ,my condemnation shall fall on him who violates law and is an unworthy citizen4 ,and then my condemnation rests1 not upon his nationality1 but upon his guilt4 ,so long as any man is a quiet1 law-abiding citizen1 he can count me his friend4 ,when he sins1 ,i shall preach to him repentance and reformation4 8,i am aware that the problem of foreign immigration is gigantic4 ,but what kind of a sieve shall be used to strain the stream that is flowing into ,america from the ,old ,world8 ,the men who weave the meshes of the strainer have a ,herculean task4 ,your readers will find it very profitable to study the

,,and ,,conduct ,a ,,ladies ,,missionary ,,society4 ,the ,home ,land ,circle1 ,park ,st4 ,church1 ,boston1 was organized a little more than two years ago4 ,three public meetings are held during the year4 ,funds are divided among the ,am4 ,miss4 ,asso'n1 the ,a4 ,h4 ,m4 ,s4 and the ,n4 ,w4 ,e4 ,c41 in such proportions as the ladies decide at one of these meetings4 ,the names of the ladies in the church and society are taken1 a band of collectors is appointed1 and each lady is called upon1 and offered the privilege of contributing4 ,by mentioning the wish to the collector1 any contributor can have the whole of her gift go to the specified society4 ,membership is constituted by an annual contribution1 no amount specified4 ,the meetings1 we are informed1 have been made very interesting by means of letters from the workers of the societies aided4 ,referring to the value of these letters in mission circles1 one lady writes3 8,while once we felt ourselves to be working blindly1 with little idea of the work that was being done or of the manner in which we could best help1 we seem now to have a personal and friendly interest1 as well as an increased sense of our own responsibility40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,colored ,,people are crazily fond of organization4 ,women and men alike are caught in the whirl4 ,offices with high-sounding names1 processions1 regalia and show1 have a wonderful charm before which go down their better judgment4 ,the evils of the ,lodge1 our missionaries meet on every hand4 ,in the home and in the church1 this insidious foe to piety and thrift is encountered4 ,the love of organization may be utilized and turned to good account4 ,our teachers endeavor to impress upon their pupils the value of co-operation in doing good4 ,the outcome of such instruction appears in one of our schools where the girls of their own accord1 and without aid from their teachers1 organized themselves into the ,helping ,hand ,society1 in which the members pledge1 7#a7 ,not to tell lies1 7#b7 ,not to steal1 7#c7 ,not to be selfish1 7#d7 ,not to quarrel1 7#e7 ,not to talk about the boys when together1 and 7#f7 ,to try and help every one they can4 ,on the other hand1 the vice of 8,secret ,orders0 may be seen in the following1 written by one of our teachers3 ,a colored man with the title of ,elder1 recently visited this place and organized a secret society called the ,universal ,brotherhood4 ,he had left one church with stains upon his moral character1 but1 as is too often the case1 another fold had an open door for sheep1 goat1 or wolf1 and1 as he could operate better inside a church than out1 he went in4 ,the initiation fee to the society is one dollar1 and the monthly dues are twenty cents4 ,small as this amount is1 it is much to those who have families to provide for upon very small wages4 ,if all the promises made by the organizer could be believed1 membership in the society of ,universal ,brotherhood would be better than forty acres and a mule4 ,all who are sick are to receive aid4 ,when a member dies1 his family will receive a thousand dollars4 ,if any one of the family dies before the member insured does1 twenty-five dollars will be furnished for funeral expenses4 ,heavy fines are imposed for absence from the meetings1 which are held weekly4 ,the name might lead one to suppose that this lodge is for men only1 but it is composed of men and women4 ,they have oaths and pass-words and secrecy1 but one who is too wise to join such an organization says the great secret which they will never find out is where the money goes4 ,the idea of some one to help in time of sickness1 and of property left to one's children1 is enough to draw the final dime from a colored person's pocket1 and stimulates parents who are not able to patronize a school to invest in a lodge4 ,a colored woman who does well to send one of her six children to school said to me last week1 8,i am just as much opposed to the lodge as ,i can be4 ,a good many women have to work hard to support their families1 for it takes all their husbands can make to keep up the lodges4 ,they pay four dollars a month for the rent of a hall to meet in1 and they can't pay the rent for a shelter for their families1 so their wives have to attend to that40 ,the poor woman had the eloquence of truth and earnestness4 ,she had had enough experience to know what she was talking about4 ,they have the lodges1 chapters1 commanderies1 and consistories of the ,masonic order for colored men as well as for white4 ,in ,oddfellowship there are lodges for the men1 and the ,household of ,ruth lodges for the women4 ,there are the ,knights of the ,wise ,men and the ,sons and ,daughters of ,relief4 ,the following are some of the lodges for men and women3 ,diamond

every time1 and he does well in school1 too4 ,a year ago his relatives wanted him to come to our school1 but as he could not live in the ground and grow his own coat as other badgers do1 we had to wait till this fall4 ,i said he could not live in the ground4 ,he did live on it though last winter1 for there was no floor in his house and the sides and roof were made of logs and mud1 and he had a tin cup1 and sometimes a tin plate1 perhaps1 and that was all there was to supplement his fingers4 ,some forked sticks in the ground1 on which a board or two were supported1 and a dirty quilt and an old blanket made his bed4 ,the bed made itself1 without any neat housekeeper's help4 ,corn1 pounded up in a wooden mortar and boiled in water1 and dried venison and berries1 were the principal diet of our ,badger4 ,now1 he is just like a boy--a white boy--and he is learning to talk ,english fast1 and he tries to sing ,sunday-school hymns and gets the tune quite well4 ,pretty good for a ,badger just out of his native hole1 isn't it8 ,well1 he has woolen shirts1 knee-pants1 stockings1 mittens1 and shoes and cap1 etc42 everything suitable for a boy seven years old4 ,you would not know him from a boy if he did not sometimes get down on all fours and rub his stockings through at the knees2 but we hope he will grow out of this badgerly habit in time4 ,now1 there are some boys and girls called the 8,torrington ,valley ,gleaners10 who like pets so well that they are taking care of this little ,badger4 ,they call him ,edward4 ,they send him clothes and send money to buy his food4 ,they held a fair1 and the boys brought in pumpkins1 turnips1 celery1 pop-corn1 etc41 not for the ,badger to eat1 but to sell1 so that they might have money to help him4 ,the girls made fancy articles for the same purpose4 ,now they have enjoyed doing this so much1 and they think it will be so nice when they and their ,badger are grown up1 to feel that they had helped him to be a man1 that they have asked me to recommend their plan to other boys and girls and to their parents1 in ,connecticut and other ,states also4 ,we can say that we have a variety of pets for them--ducks1 bears1 weasels1 cows and other animals1 to whom we give ,christian names and ,christian training1 so far as ,christian friends help us to do so4 ,nine of these ,indian boys have just gone off in the twilight with their lady teacher1 in a big sled1 to get the mail1 and a dozen little girls are making rag dolls1 etc41 for they all like a little play after school is out and their work is done4 ,so they have both work and play and are not dull4 ,may there be many to pray for them and help them that they may become good servants of ,jesus ,christ4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,receipts ,,for ,,february1 #ahhg4 ,,maine1 #bff4dc4
