At Tuskegeo tltln year tbo enrollnient in tbo normal department readied 1,300, of whom -130 wero young women. Of them' young men anil women sttt ilontH 62 worked all tbo year during tlio day, attending school at iiiitht. OtburH worked part of tbo daytime. Tbo iiii1Ih at a branch school, presided trvor and looked after by MrH. Washing ton, would bring tbo total number of juipllH ii) to l.HnO. Tbo Iiif trtictlon Ih largely indiiHtrial. Women uro taught cooking, revving, droHHiuaking, iiurHliig and inaiiy other tiHofnl artH.

' What a wonderful, adinirablo, vastly influential work this IhI Its iulliiuuco Ih coiiHtautly expanding, and cannot bo nuiRNtired or scarcely estimated. No wonder that it Iiiih Leon wild by a good Judge that Hooker T. WiiNliington in probably tbo most useful man living.

Governor Longino Ih n good model for other governor. Ho not only knows his duty but ho ia not afraid to do it. Some of tbo southern officials and prominent men bavo lately manifested n similar determination to uphold the lawH and give Negroes, as well ns white men, a fair trial, and it in be lieved tlio number of such men Ih in creasing. It ic high time that it was. INNOCENT NEGRO LYNCHED. It Ih not only probable, as stated in Tlio Now Ago bint week, that many Houtliern Negroes are lynched on mere suspicion, or on acctiHatiotiH made by portions not callable of Identifying the tbo real culprit, Negroes wbo in fact aro innocent of tlio crime charged, but occasionally n capo comes to light, and tbo discovery adds to tbo horror of these crimes, Such a case occurred about 10 days ago in North Carolina, when a Negro wiih taken from tbo jail by a mob of about 75 men and lynched, and it has since been discovered that the accused was entlrelv innocent. Governor Aycock, another southern governor who belloves in doing (and daros to do bis duty, has offered a re ward of f 1,000 each for tbo arrest and conviction of these murderers, or an aggregate reward of $30,000. Thin will pnbahly rnnult in nothing, but if the governor is in earnest, as ho Is supposed to bo, bo may succeed in bringing Mimo of thcto abominable lynchers partly to justice, or at least In making trouble for them. A few hangings of white lynchers In such (iimib would not only bo an act of ice, but would tend to check lynching crimes in tlio future. Tlio Democrats have very little chance to control tbo next-house. Most of tlio northern stated will follow the Lexanplo of Oregon. f-'onio southern Afro-American papers bavo been criticising Present Itoojc velt severely on account of pome South Carolina appointment, but while tiiere may bavo been boiiio grounds for the criticism it shouldbo rememborcd that the president has in word and deed shown bis de-iiro it tut intention to do justice to tbo Negro raco. Ho ought not to bo soerely censured for ono mistake. A. W. Lloyd, a coloretl man, Is grand chancellor of tlio Knights of Pythias of Missouri, and as an organizer lias done splendid work, the order during bis leadership having increased in t bat state from (160 to 1,760 members. BURIED BY TWO HUSBANDS. Kccallrd just-these A FOOLISH PETITION. A so-called International Immigra tion and Commercial Association hud a session last week In Chattanooga, and prepared a petition to the presi dent and to congress asking an appro priation of half a billion dollars to assist Negroes to leave tbo United Htatos. The people who passed such a resolution must bo a lot of crack brained visionaries, or they would not imagine for a moment that congress or the president would pay any attention to such a foolish petition. Tlio Ne groes of tlio United States do not want to leave this country. It is their country. They wero born bore, and for better or worto they are going to stay here. In many Instances and particulars they aro not treated justly, aru not given a "equate deal," but they uro going to keep improving and at the same time insisting on their rights, and on fair treatment. They bavo no apologies to make for their ex istence hero, ami few of them are clamoring to bo bundled off by Uncle Sam to Africa, Liberia or some other country, though many southern No groos, after the war in the Philippines is over, might do well there. SENATOR MirOHELL. A GOVERNOR WHO DID HIS DUTY. Governor Longlno, of Mississippi, is ono Southern ofllclal wbo evidently be lloves that duty is not to Ixi subordin ated to oxcited sentiment or unjust publlo clamor. Such sontintent ami clamor in tbo neighborhood of Hatties burg in that statu was btroug tlio other day In favor of lynching a Negro who was accused of assault, and tbo govern or know that if be did not yield to that sentiment lie would make himself un popular, for tlio present at least, among the white people, who uro tbo only vot ers down there. Hut tbo governor do lled tills lawless, murderous senti ment, and upheld tlio law. (lo llrst requested a circuit judge to grant the prisoner a preliminary bearing ami commit him for trial us soon iih possi ble, While this was being done u mob assembled at tlio jail and was addressed by Homo of tbo "beat citizens." in tbo town, but whether tlioso men argued for or ngnlnst violence tbo dispatches do not stnto, "Host cltitens," how over, liuvo figured m frequently at southern lynching that it will surprise no ono to learn that, upon this occasion tiioy also epoko in favor of violence, At any rate, an attack was made upon tbo Jail, and for this contingency tbo governor bad provided, A company of militia leveled loaded rilles at tlio crowd uutl tbo crowd fell back. Tbo governor bad presented an argument with which no one durod to trllle. Tbo prisoner was duly committed for trial and removed to a stronger prhon under the guard of statu troops, whero bo will romuin securely in custody until such Though Tlio Now Ago Iiiih felt friend ly to Senator Simon, ami wiih favorable to IiIh re-election until tbo voters de cided otherwise, it lias never opposed or criticised Senator Mitchell, but has spoken many good words for him; and It believed, mid still believes, that lie l n very capable and useful senator. His long experience makes him espe cially valuable to tlio state bo serves so well. Ho Ih a companionable, popular mini, ami can accomplish more than an oven greater man could wbo was cold in manner and stood too primly always on his dignity. Mr. Mitchell has done very excellent anil important work for Oregon, and will doubtless be kept in the senate as long uu be lives uutl retains IiIh health. In its support in tbo past of Mr. Simon and Mr. Moody Tbo New Ago, as it ex plained nt the time, was prompted by a deslro to see harmony restored in tbo party, by yielding something to lioth factions, not by any animosity to Mr. Mitchell or his friends mid supporters. Hut now that tbo battle Iiiih been settled in their favor, all loyul Repub licans Bbould forghe und forgot, and lot this factional strife, that has so long vexed the party, end, onco for all. A Louisiana wliito preacher Bays thnt coloretl people uro emotional, not re ligious; thnt they would work them selves up to n high pitch of fervor when a mooting was in progress conducted by some evangelist, hut as soon us it was over they relapsed into sinful ways. Which, if true, only piovea that in this respect black people wn just ubout like white people. A Itomnntlc Cnie in Knctnml by One In Atncrtcn. Apropos of the remarkable Instance of conjugal devotion, which, according to Wednesday's Globe, Iiiih recently been displayed by Mr. Gannon of Chi clnnntl, lu bringing his wife's body from America to her native place lu this country for Interment, It Is Inter csting to recall n somewhat similar bill even more romantic story which Ih re corded of Lord Dulmeiiy, eldest sou of James, second Earl of Itosebery. This young nobleman, who died lu 1755, met In London some years pre vious to bt denth u lady with whom be fell violently In love mid whom bo per suaded to marry him unit accompany him on a continental tour. The mar riage, though couconled from the rela tives on both sides, proved to be an extremely happy one. the pair living together lu the greatest harmony until tlio Intly wns overtaken by a morlnl Illness. When assured thnt she was dying, kIio asked for u pencil and pa per, mid sbo then wrote tbo following messngo: "I am tlio wife of tbo Hev, Mr. Cough, rector of Thorpe, lu Essex. My maiden name was C. Cannon, and my Inst request Is to be burled nt Thorrjo." In whnt circumstances sbo Inul de serted her husband docs not nmienr. but Lord Dalmcny protested that ho know nothing of her former uinrrlnge, find liitinedlately sot nbout fulfilling her Inst wishes. Ho had the body em balmed nnd Inclosed In n chest, nnd then, under the nssumod namo of Wll llnms, ho brought It to England, laud ing nt Colchester. Hero tbo chest wni suspected by tbo custom house otn- cers of containing smuggled goods, nnd wns opened by them to tbo great dis tress of the bereaved hiisbnnd, who grow nlmost distracted under the dnrlc or suspicions which arose -when Its real contents were rovenled. However, after Infinite dllllculty he succeeded In conveying the body to Thorpe, nnd, when It hail been placed In tbo church on mi open bier, took his sent besldo It. evidently absorbed In grief, tbo sceno bnvlng remlndod a by Btnndcr of "Itomeo und .lullot." At length bo guvo n full explanation of the circumstances of his uinrrlnge, nnd Mr. Gough wns sent for to come und Iden tify his wife, which tbo Intter gcntlo mnn did without n moment's hcsltn tion. Tlio meeting uetwecti tlio sorrow-stricken youug mnn nnd the Indig nant brstmnd wns described as n most moving one, but neither seemed Inclin ed to wnlvo his right to tbo other, though of tbo two, Lord Dnlmcny wns tbo more anxious to do honor to tbo deceased. Ho hnd n splendid collln mnilo for her, and followed lior body to Thorpe, whero ho wns mot by Mr.: Gough, nnd In their presenco tbo bu rial wns performed with nil duo sol emnity, thus probably furnishing the only Instance on record of a woman bo lug attended to her grave by two Iiiih bands nt tbo same tlmo. Immediately nftor tbo ceremony Lord Dnlmeny left for London, nppnrently Inconsolnblo nt his loss. In tbo peernges bo Is describ ed us unmarried. London Globe. Testing Ills Temper.
