Girl of Negro Blood at Vassar.
~The graduates and. students, of
Vassar College,are much agitated over
a report that one of the graduatee ip
the senior class of ~97 is of negro
parentage. The story js repeated by
responsibte persons, who give the
name of the student. The young
woman in question had intelligence,
tact and ability.
~she had a roommate, to whom she
spoke of the wealth of her parents and
their style of living. who in turn re~
peated the conversation to her father,
a man of extensive business connec:
tions. He made inquines and found
that the only man in the place named
bearing the name sheT gave was a
negro. This information he commu-
~-picated to his daughte and, acting
upon his advice, she, under some
pretext, secured another roommate.
A few days before commencement this
girl told her history to one of the
faculty, She eaid that es a little girl
she was clever and bright beyond the
average of her race, and strangers
were attracted to her, A woman cf
wealth and pésition saw in her possi"
bilities of a noble womanhood if
~properly ttuined and took her into
their own household and gave her all
the education which money and refine-
ment could command. She passed the
required examinations, entered Vassar
College and completed the prescribed
course of study.
In a Bad Fix
Suid a gentleman yesterday just re-
torned from a trip in che eastern part
of the State:
oI feel sorry for the people of that
section. The other day I was at the
largest store in a good sized town when
a young lady came in and said to the
propritor of the store that she had $86
oin county scrip in her Sand, wanting to
knew if she could buy some things at
the stor, Ihe man told her that he
weuld sell her anything he had on as
long time as. she. desired, but .that. lie
evuld not take the scrip, for not a
dollar was in the treasury, and he did
not know when there would be. ~The
lady said she was a teacher and had
just been paid. She did not know
what to do, for she said she had to

This is bad, but the people in that

Bringing the country merchant to
town in order that he may make his
purceses directly is to some extent a
reversal of the method of sending
salesmen to the country to. solicit
business. Face to face business has
its mamitest advantages. Whether or
rot the new system shall supplant the
old, it will wonderfully facilitate ex-
changes between conntry and city to

It used to be tought necessary
when eny one got sick to bleed the
suflerer as a preliminary to the restora-
tion of health, We now know that
this was a delusion and @ mistak e.
But there are thousands of credulcus
persons who think that the passage of
a law increasing Federal taxation and
vleeding the pockets of the people will
cure the business sickness which which |
afflicts the country. In due season
this delusion will also passaway- But
the good tame will never come if the
schemers who profit by po pular super~
stition can prevenv it. The toreign
demand for our grain, the new dis
coveries of gold, the abuzdance of our
harvests and the general growth ,of
confidence in the ability of ~the Gov-
ernment to maintain its credit and pay
its debts have filled the hearts of the
people with hope. But those who are
making unearned millions of dollars
out of the changes in our taxes point
to the newly smoking chimneys and

It was Georgia day at the Tennessee
centennial and Dr. J. B. Hawthorre
was asked to deliver the address cf
welcome, In doing $0 he said :
oA manly man ie the noblest work
of Gud.� In his response Governor
Atkinson t2ok issue with him and
said: oDown in Georgia they believe
that woman is the noblest work of
God.� ~The audience applauded the:
sentimen: vigorously. Dr. Hawthorne
rose and remarked: ~1 thought I was
understood that the men embrace the
women.� It was some little time be-
fore Governor Atkinson had ain op-
portunity to reply, owing to the violent
laughter of the audience. When he
did, he said, oThat may be t rue, but ]
~did not expect a minister, to acknowl-
edge it publicly.� The papers stated
