Hoon after slave iu Kentucky, invented a machine for cleaning hemp, bnt tlie patent was taken out by his master, and even tha name of the inventor is now unknown. Several of the latest invention are for use in parlor and sleeping cars, as might be expected from the general employment of colored men- there, and one, for ex cluding dust and cinders while admit ting air, is thought by experts to be of great value. Another much spoken of is the gong signal chuir, invented by Mis Miriam K. Benjamin. She was born iu South Carolina and educated iu Massa chusetts and is now taking a medical, course at Washington. By this device a patient iu a hospitul or one waiting in a railway station can call an attendant from an adjacent room without making auynoiso. Tho inventor claims that but half or a third as many attendants will be needed und the quiet and comfort of patients and guests greatly promoted. Mr. J. K.

So I weut to the grounds ami found that tho structure bore on its artistic front the plain title "Negro Building,' and uowhore about it is the euphemism of "colored."

Aud doing crime aomothiug they certainly wore, though unfortunately for my purpose it consist ed chiefly of hammering aud unpacking, for tha general delay iu getting the ex j position into shape has here been sup- p lumen ted by special delays iu receiving i the educaiiuual exhibits.

But between theso two extremes there is now a large class for whom tho imme diate future lisiks very dark indeed. There are tens of thousands of edu cated young colored men und women full of ambition and eager to do some thing for themselves and their race, but every avenue seems shut up. And they are fitted by nature for tho finer kinds of work iu silk mid liueu. That peculiar suppleness of fingers and taste iu color und fabrics, even that delicacy of touch. which murks the lighter colored people is exactly suited for tho mills manufac turing in silk, linen mid cotton. Tho philanthropist can speud his money and Loop it, t.K aye, mnko a profit on it. A notice over the d.sit of such :i mill that it is "for colored people exclusively" would offend no prejudice, and the south now has somo 400,000 young men mid women for whom this is the natural work. But to return to tho Negro building. Tho front is adorned with mi immense relievo, which at first view strikes one us ludicrous. Ou tho right is un im mense medallion, with the head of Fred- crick Douglass, and ou tho left another, with that of a typical black woman of tho plantation laborer class. It is far from pretty, but it is snggestivo mid true to life. Between is the cotton field, with curt, plow, mulo team and negro driver. I observe that promiiienco is ev ery where given to the full blooded no gro and tho laborer, though tho maim gers are niiscegems.

I am told that some of the roads entering here provide separate cars. As a third or more of this city's people are colored. there will be ample hotel and boarding house accommodations, and iu a very considerable sectiou all the stores and shops ure owned and run by colored peo ple. As near a I can guess, nlxint half tho workers on tho exposition grounds ire colored, but the Negro building wa built exclusively by colored mechanic and i iu ifeclf an interesting monument to their skill.

A great event is but "a nino days' wonder" iu a great city, for what length of time will the people bear iu mind the murder of nu uukuowu man? The scenes in the thoroughfares are kaleidoscopic, with instant changes. The stories of the disappcurunce und wanderings of tho people are sometimes sad, bnt they ure frequently amusing. In many cases uNTrutioii of mind is the canse of disappearance, and while tho whole city is uhu-ined the object of search is innocently wandering among the searchers after him und contributing to the lino and cry. Only ypsterduy I heard of a man who came from tho west nine years ugo nud found himself in Providence, so dazed that he lost his identity, and under the first naino that came to his mind start ed a business which he continued with success there for six years. Oue day, ut the end of that time, ho went to Puw tucket ou business nud ugain lost bis identity. Again lie started a new busi ness and mudo a success of it for three yours when he remembered his Provi deuce uumo mid returned there recently to resumo his former occupation. It wus six years ago, while I was liv iug iu a flat with my ug.Ml parents, that a strange case of uben-atiou of mind enme under my personal notice. It illns trated that tho cause may be grief, while oilier cases show that business troubles loud up to it. Iu tho first flat lived u physician and his wife, u very estimable lady of some n0 years, who was ulso a practicing physician. Both were grad uates of medical colleges uud they hnd their own patients. It may bo grunted that the lady wag of sound iniud and fair reasoning power. Tho luuibund died very suddenly und for three duvs the widow remained inconsolable, lament ing his uncxM'ctol death. At tho end of that timo she went out nlone for a wulk. Sho wulkod severul miles up town, as nearly us she after ward remembered, and then turned.to go home. But everything seemed strante to her und sho could not decide what directiun to take. She thought of the recourse thnt comes to every mystified Iktsoii iu a great city and divided to ask a IKilicemuu to 6ot her right. But ufter arriving at this conclusion she could uot remember the street or tho number of tho street where her homo was, and worse than nil sho could not recall her uiinie. She wus not addicted to the use of liquor, as this state of nfTairs would indicate, uor was sho of a constitution ally weak intellect. In this dilemma, as sho afterward told nie, the wanted to talk to some body, just tf hour her own voice, nud sho stopped tho first policeman who enme iu view.

He laughingly suggested that she should accoiniiany him to tho station house, where the captuiu might cive her the desired information. As a last resort she went with him. The captain did recognize her. for when she entered the station he greeted hor as Dr. B., uud she reioiciiiulv ex- cluiined: "Thut's itl That ' my name, but whero do I live!"

He was si in ply a boy, like nny other boy, aud this was exactly what he wanted. But he was treated with great respect by tho shopkeepers, because ho wemed to have plenty of money. Curiously enough, tho thing which Roomed to nt tract him most was a head shearing ma chine, or hair clipper, mid when the fnghteued nobles of the com t discovered him nt last it was with this singular implement in his possession. Ho had already begun an attempt to experiment with it on tho heads of sot erul small street boys, who wero prov- lug rebellious subjects, when tho cour tiers approached him, prostrating them selves upon tho gTound aud making aiurineu outcries.
