While there are not so many Colored People 'S. here afe there are in Ohio, the few that are here are treated better. For years I iy we have "had two Colored teachers in the JMpfnneapolis schools, and we have *J two in St. Paul, Misses Minnie and Bes ale Farjr.", A few days ago Superintend ent Taylor, speaking of the present con fdition'of the schools said:"We now have ibout!290 teacbers,"and really need 303. )f these, two are colored and the rest bite. One Colored teacher is at the adison school and the other is at the Incom school, and I may say they are uet as popular as the white teachers. No, ijhave not heard a word of objec ien by anyone regarding them. There re a great inany Colored children scat ered through the schools. No, there is no separate school for them they are ^intermingled with the white pupils. As their ability and smartness they show fair average, as compared with white pupilsff'* Such will be the case in Ohio or anywhere elst when all are accorded equal privileges and fair judgment. Time will suiely do the work well. flSi The,hrro*s of Southern, penitentiar ies must be great indeed, when a man will prefer death to a five years sen- -:J: stance. Last Wednesday, .Sam Branch, :\-7"^ a Coloied man, accused of grand lar ceny, was on trial in a Chatanooga court, l^^ha jury returned a verdict of guilty \'_:\ and a sentence of five yevrs in the peni tetiary. As these words were uttered by the foreman, Branch exclaimed "God knows I am innocent,"and pulling a large Vjknifthroat his.pocketspurting :vhis he thrust it into the blood over the V5nry box and judge's desk, and in less than thirty minutes he was a corpse.

Monday, September 19th., was thethe seventh anniversary of the birthday of Miss Gertie McOracken, and her many young friends gathered at her beautiful residence and gavt her a very pleasant surprise party. A delightful supper was served, and after spending the evening royally, the guests departed for their homes, wishing her inany happy returns of the day. She was the receipant of a lot of presents amooig which were a gold ring, gold perns, handkerchiefs, photograph albums,gold eye glasses,gold bracelets, books, etc. The occasion was a delightful one to all, On the 22nd of Sept. the masdiis gave alive pigeon pie at their hall tho hall was beautifully decorated with -flags, banners and flowers.^ !The ladies, old and young, looked their best, and A3Home" they promenaded down the hall, keep-jthe time had come to go home. We ing time to the music of the band, look ed more like fairies from fairyland than human beings. The pie, which contain ed the live pigeons was placed on a cen ter table, all decorated and festooned with flowers, the pigeons were tied with red ribbons and had little red caps on their heads. At 10:30 they were let loose, and whoever caught jthem, got the prize, the pigeons. sf^: &'* Il^ A High Tribute, The good men do lives after them,aad, though, often, it is not until after death that their good qualities are recognized, it usually comes to light then. Prof. C. F. Adams, who is now teach ing German in thiscity,spent some time traveling in Europe a year or two ago, and, during one of his visits to West minster Abbey, around which so many historic memories cling, he was attract ed by.a plain white marble slab contain ing a medallion of Granville Sharp,upon which the following tribute was inscrib ed: post amongst the foremos' of that hon orable band associated to deliver Africa from the rapacity of Europe by the death permitted to interupt his career of usefulness till he bad' witnessed I avenue South that acAbolitionBritish of the Parliament bv' _, which was decreed I his private relations he was equally, ex cemplaryjand having exhibited throttgeh life a model of disinterested virtue, -he resigned his pious spirit into'the hands of his Creator, in the exercise of charity and faith and hope, on the sixth day of July, A.

Sacred to the memory of Granville Sharp, ninth son of Dr. Thomas Sharp, Prebendary of the Cathedrals and Col legiate churches of York, Durham and and grandson of Dr. John Sharp, Archbishop of York. Born and educated in the bosom of theOhurch of England, he ever cherished for her in stitutions the mest unshaken regard, while his whole sole was in harmony with the sacred strain "Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth and good will toward men," on which his life presented one beautiful comment of glowing piety and unwearied beneficence. Freed by competence from the neces sity, and by content, from the desire, of lucrative occupation, he was incessant in his labors to improve the condition of mankind. Founding public happiness' on public virtue, he aimed to rescue his native country from the guilt and inconsisten cy of employing the arm of freedom to rivet the fetters of bondage, and estab lished for the Negro Bace, in the per son of Somerset, the long disputed rights of human nature.
