The question of the new market house
in this city is very little talked about It
seems to be a foregone conclusion that it
will cany. The voting will be by separate

So with the city ard township boxes there
will be three boxe it each voting place.

Lonis Riel, the Manitoba rebel, is a
scholar and a man of great intellectual
capabilities. Years since he wrote several
poems of finish and fine expression,
though these have never been published.

A rebel with his pockets full of "re
spectfully declined" poetry is a desperate

but firmly, also with persistent zeaL
The rumors of war have created a boom
in the manufacture of firearms and ammu
nition in the United Suites. One firm
which manufactures rifles is working 1,360
men, another has received a very large
foreign order, and a cartridge firm is very
busy. A Massachusetts company has an
order for 200,000 swords, it is said, for the
Russian Government The Russians have
been making their own rifles for some
years, but they cannot, in the event of
war, make enough to supply the army.
By way of Jeflersonian simplicity, the
New York Tribune gives the following de
scription of Secretary Lamar's bath room,
fitted up in a room adjoining the Interior
Department:
Well, vou ought to see it It has been
furnished", regardless ot expense, with marble
6labs, carved mahogany, elegant chairs, costly
mirrors, Turkish towels, Smyrna rugs beauti
ful ivory mounted brushes and other requisites,
including perluined soaps and sweet-smelling
waters. Oh! it is gorgeous, and so comforta
bl that I do not believe the most exacting
Svbarite could find lault with its appoint
ment". To fit up and tarnish that room must
"have made a pretty big hole in the pile ot
money that theSecrfUry saved to the Govern
ment by sellirg the horses and wagons that
bad been used by the officers of the Depart
ment in the transaction of official business.
Secretary Lamar is rather elaborately
preparing, Sah, for the continuous influx
of the "great unwashed," and Secretary
Lamar is instinctively right, though a
trifle gorgeous.
Maclin and Gallagher, the Chicago bal
lot box stufiers and political swindlers dur
ing the late Presidential campaign and
convicted of election frauds, wf re ad
mitted to bail in the sum of $50,000 each,
last'week, on a writ of error granted by
Judge Gresham in the IT. S. Circuit Court.
The time for sending the two men to the
penitentiary expired at noon March 24,
and if the writ had not been granted they
would hae been taken to Joliet. Mike
McDonald-, the gambler, qualified as chief
bondsman and testified that he owned
$500,000 worth of real estate unincum
bered. War is brewing all over Europe, also
in Africa and Asia. In South America
there is always trouble. The forces of
Barrios under Prestan, were defeated by
the forces sent from Panama, at Colon,
and that city burned to the ground. The
danger threatened American citizens in
South America has called for the protec
tion alorded by the U. S. Navy and a
large naval force has been sent to Aspin
wall. The Reil rebellion in the North
west will probably give our army a chance
for an airing to prevent the rebels from
fleeing into the United States when the
Canadian army falls upon them.
To-day is Easter, and the appropriate
observance of the day will constitute the
services at the various churches in the
city to-day. The custom of using eggs on
Easter day comes from the remotest ages.
They symbolize the resurrection of the
Savior, and also various other usages have
grown up with the passage of time, as it is
supposed in early times the egg was the
only nourishment used on Easter day. The
Jews used eggs at the Passover; the
Druids also used them in their peculiar
ceremonies; the Persians made gifts of
them. In Russia it is a common custom
when greetinga friend on Easter morning
to say: "Christ ia risen," and present him
with an egg. The Mohammedans have a
similar custom. The queston will be ask
ed why do they color eggs on Easter? and
the only answer is that the custom gradu
ally grew out of the desire to beantifiy the
eggs as presents to friends.
The New York Tribune, after waiting
to obtain reliable information as to the
nature and causes of the trouble in the
Northwest, says editorially:
"The more the canses of the outbreak
come to be mnderstood, the less justifiable
does it appear. It, as alleged, the half
breeds apprehend the loss of some of their
lands through the introduction of a plan
ot surveying to which they were not acces
tomed, tbey had lawful remedies in their
hands. Riel, however, does not appear to
have desired the application of lawful
remedies. He wanted to figure as a pop
ular leader. Perhaps he has visions ol
an independent territory under his rule,
though after his experience in the Red
River rising it is difficult to understand
how he can possibly harbor any such delu
sive expectations."
But the war in the North-West .is get
ting very earnest The town of Battle
ford, Manitoba, has been pillaged and
burned by the rebels, and ten persons
killed. It is remarked also that the dis
cussion in the Canadian Parliament indi
cate that the rebels have friends in the
house.
The result of the municipal election in
this city tomorrow promises to be one of
unusual interest By this time every well
thinking man and citizen of this city has
determined in his own mind as to which
one of the candidates named, he will give
his support To this class of people there
is no appeal; to the other class, whose
minds may be changed and whose votes
can be purchased on the eve of the bat'le,
there is no fitting or effectual appeal pos
sible through any other means than the
power of money, or promise of reward.
That appeal must net be made in this
election, and if those who desire real re
form in elections of Springfield will see to
it that no unlawful nse'of money.fpromises,
or undue influences be used there can be
no danger to the city government from
the officials chosen by the vote that will
be cast tomorrow. The real contest does
not close until the last ballot is dropped '
into the boxes, and the polls are closed.
To the citizens of Springfield it is of
supreme importance that the best men
should be elected tomorrow to fill the city
offices. It is not a time to mince mat
ters, nor is it a time when any man inter
ested in what really constitutes a good
government to hesitate in the discharge
of a plain duty. There can be no ques
tion between Jas. P. Goodwin and J. J.
Smith for Mayor of this city. Mr. Good
win possesses the qualities, and possesses
them in an eminent degree, relatively, far
beyond his competitor, that recommend
him to that class of people who really de
sire reform and good government in this
city. For this same reason, for this alone,
and it is amply sufficient, the whole Re
publican ticket is recommended to the
voters tomorrow. The opportunity is of
fered for a grand victory for the very best i
element in this municipality, and the
counting of the ballots tomorrow night
will demonstrate whether it is appreciated
or not.
Out or the Old Home Into the New.
"Were I Diogenes I would not move out
of kilderkin into a hocshead though the first
had nothing but small beer in it, and the sec
ond reeked claret" So says Charles Lamb.
Nevertheless at this seafon of the year there
are always more or less people who feel it
necessary to make a change, and at the pres
day everything is so conveniently contrived
mat it is ia some ways a pleasant excitement
to move. "Very few thiugs are broken or de
faced. But there are certain things in every
house, wbese scratched aud cracked condi
tion give an idea of long descent to the prts
ent owDer, and it cannot be hoped that three
things will survive that quality in the expo
sure of a furniture-wagon.
Most everything turns shabby under the
ordeal of moving, and for a time we feel de
graded by the spectacle of their foilornness.
When he new house is chosen we make
gradual preparations to leave the old one.
The carf ets come up one by one, and one
after another, the walls are stripped ot their
pictures, and presently we are reduced to no
house at all, and being at home neither one
place nor the other. In the old house we go
from one room to another, recalling many
circumstances connected with them. The
guest chamber is still so densely peopled by
those it has lodged, that it will never quite be
emptied of them.
Friends are still calling ia the parlor below,
and the children are yet on the stairs. In
getting ready to go, nothing hurts quite so
much as the sight of the little girl packing
ber doll things for removal. The trouseau of
all loose elegant creatures are carefully as
sorted and arranged in various boxes and
small drawers ; the bits of broken dishes are
packed in paper and set out on the floor, a
pitiful little basketful.
However tedious the process of moving is.
the time finally comes when we sit down in
the new house, and take our first meal there.
This meal is almost sure to be un
pleasant tea, some scraps of bread made
with toast aad a bit of cake. But even this
compares very favorably with the last meal
in the old house. Indeed, It would be very
hard to tell which of the two uninviting
meals was the most so. Both were hurriedly
cooked, served upon irregular crockery, amid
groat disorder. But doleful as these meals
may be to the alders, they are partaken ot by
the children with a joyous riot
Every true American is a mover. We take
it from Abraham, who, it will be remembered,
packed his parlor and kitchen furniture on
his camel's back, and started off with his bet
ter half to seek a new camping ground.
As to the bouse we have left, it is always
best if it could be occupied immediately after
we have moved from it. A day's absence
changes it wholly, and it seems very differ
ent from the vacant house it was when we
first came to look at it
Bow very different our feelings now. Then
we were full of hopes, now wo are full of
memories. There is tne doorway where we
have sat to many summer days, and here the
family sitting-room, where so much has been
planned. The place will always bo painfully
sacred, and we resolve never to enter it
again, unless as a penance. Let some one
else take the old bouse, who is also escaping
from his past He will find it new and free
from memories, while we are in our new
hous enjoying the preent, that borders on
the future.
The Colored Race and Industrial Educa
tion. To the Editor of the Sunday Globe-Republic:
Sib: It is now a settled fact that the col
ored people of this country wield an immense
power, politically; indeed, it is believed they
hold the balance of power. At all events,
tbey are, as a race, an important factcr in the
government of our nation, Politicians see
and know this. They know that, if nomi
nated for office, it will never do, if they woo'd
be elected, to ignore or disregard tbeir
'brother in black." Alas ! too many, whose
political influence for good is now dead, have
learned this truth by sad experience.
What is true of my race in regard to poli
tics is equally trne of them in respect to
buuness. The many readers ot your
valuable piper, and especially the business
men of our city, may not have
noticed it heretofore, but it is a fact that the
colored people, not only of Springfield, but of
the wnole country, make it a rule to trade
at such business places as have in their em
ploy colored help. I know whereof I speak.
This conclusion is not the result of hasty
judgment on my part bnt rather, the legiti
mate outcome of personal inquiry and close
observation.
When it is remembered that the freedmen
ol this country have been ont of "the house
of bondage" for something more than twenty
yeais, and furthermore, that these are now
growing up to manhood and womanhood so
many sable sons and daughters of Ham; and
when it is borne in mind that most of, these
young citizens in embryo are coming in
to the possession of such rare intelligence,
and manifest such integrity of character as
well as habits of strict sobriety, its surprising
to see that so few of them are given the op
portunity to learn a trade, servo bebiad the
counter, become an apprentice in the printing
office, or to associate with his b-other man in
either the dissecting room or the chemical la
boratory. It is a well-known fact that for years my
race my poor and oppressed race have
been accustomed to no other labor than that
performed in the cotton-fields, in the kitchen,
in the restaurant and hoteL Is it always to
be soT Are we forever to be "hewers of
wood and drawers of water?" It cannot b;
it must not be. The pbilanthrophy of Ameri
can citizens is too great; and the religion ol
the Christian people is too ardent to allow such
a slate of things to exist forever. Long since
the Evangelical churches ot America realized
the patamount importance of helping the
negro to help himself, and with this heaven
born conviction many of them have deter
mined to educate his hand as well as bis heart.
At this moment the eyes of the civilized
world are centered upoa Africa, and the prime
question now being agitated by the chnrch
is "What shall we do to redeem Africa?"
The leaders in the church have expressed the
opinion that there should be sent from our
schools and colleges young ladies and gentle
men ot color, whose brains have been devel
oped and whose hearts are warmed and en
thused by the lore of Christ This is good
so far as it goes, but they should
be blessed with other qualifications.
Missionaries to the "dark continent" say that,
in order to elevate the natives and bring them
into a proper state of civilization, it is very
requisite that the hand should be educated as
well as the heart and brain. A distinguished
educator, how presiding over one ot our col
ored seminarits in the extreme Sautb, says :
"We need chops, and tools, and a foreman.
Many of our people have mechanical tastes.
We need a press to aid in our work." An
other, Rev. C. E. Becker, pre ident of Bene
dict Institute, Columbia, South Carolina,
says: "The industrial departments, organ
ized this year by the generous aid of the
Slater fund, are giving instruction in carpen
tering, sho making, type-setting, and to the
young women in dressmaking. The moral
effect ot educated labor cannot be appre
ciated until seen nnder such circumstances as
surround us here."
How can industrial education among the
race become more general. Not all of our
colored youths can have the advantage ot a
systematic education in our schools and col
leges; and hence, something should be done
to educate them in the industrial arts on a
larger scale. How can it be done? I claim
that much of the good work can be accom
plished by the business men ol America, Let
the enlerprising, large-hearted. Christian men
of our country, who have for years con
tributed so liberally or the moral, intellectual
and religious elevation of the colored race,
take our young men into their employ, and
thus give them the opportunity to become
good business men. The experience of many
proves most conclusively that such a move
ment, if general, will have a two-'old effect
First, it will aid the colored race
by giving many of their num
ber an industrial education ; and second, it
will help to increase the trade or business ol
such as hire colored laborers. So the simple
reason that the race will most generally pat
ronize and encourage such as maniteset a
willingness to help the negro.
Subjoined, are a few letters from some of
our own city business men that speak tor
themselves:
I feel that in employing colored help, I
have not only bad eminent satisfaction with my
help, but find that my trade is much increas
ed thereby. J. M. Dosii.l.
We have employed a large number of color
ed men in our business for the past twenty
years. As a rule they have been industrious
and honest Some of them having been with
us four or five years, and we have had satisfac
tion in the employment ot colored labor.
We also employed a colored girl who was
with us several years and was very efficient,
a good cook, very neat and strictly honest.
C. C. Tatlob,
I have found, in asy experience wi'h color
ed employes, that tbey have been faithful,
and their services satislactory; and, moreover,
have a good trade among the colored people
which is duly appreciated.
II. W. Plattibbcbq.
We have in the past filteen or twenty years
employed a large number ot colored men
finding them as a rule to be good workers
and honest Some of them working for us
from four to six years. B. J. Hollowav.
We take pleasure in saying that we have
several colored men in our employ, and that
tbey give us satisfaction. They are honest
and industrious and in every way good
citizens. J. H. Uuuck a Bao.
For Five year I have had in my family a
colored gentleman of boaest aad industrious
habits. I also have a colored boy in my
grocery. Both give satistaction. Moreover,
I have good patronage from the colored peo
ple generally. Wm. Dixox.
Many other business firms write me that
they are not only well pleased with their col
ored clerks, but that they find they have a
much larger number of colored people trading
with them than do those firms that have no
colored help.
Now, in what I have said oa this subject, I
do not wish to be understood as sayiag that
that the colored man should be engaged as a
laborer because be is colored; nor that the
white man should be turned ont to give his
swarthy brother a chance, Not so. Such a
desire in any man is 'base and mean. I be
lieve most emphatically in the "survival of
the fittest" The best and most skillful work
man should always be preferred, to the
black or white. But every close
observer knows that there are those
in this country, who often refuses the services
of good mechanics solely on account of their
color. Nothing else r re vents onr young
ladies rom being engaged as cashiers and
clerks in our millinery and dry-goods estab
lishments. Morally, they are well developed,
and not a lew ot them have carried away the
honors in their several classes at school.
I have merely broached this all-important
subject in a general way. I bare touched
only upon what I regard a theme of great
moment to the American people at large. An
uneducated, unskilled, and idle race oi beings
is neccessary a burden to any community.
As a nation our progress is seriously retarded
so long as tht masses are kept in ignorance.
The world may expect to find among my race,
as among every race, a s lbstractum of the
idle, the vulgar, and the vicious; but
shall the better and more refined
class be ignored ard kept forever
in the back ground on their account? Shall
these young and sprightly boys, who are
now playing about my window, and who are
perfectly ignorant of the amount of hardship
their parents experienced while in bondage;
shall they, born in a Christian land, and
reared under Christian influences, be ignored
aad forsaken because God, in His wisdom,
saw fit to give them a dark hue? Surely the
intelligence of the age will not tolerate such
an outrage. Yours for Humanity.

TUB THEATERS.
Attractions at onr Opera noose's for the
Coming; Week.
The Hollywood Juvenile Opera Company
will appear in the Fairy spectacle production
of Cinderella at Black's Opera House for one
week only, commencing Monday night,
April Ctb, with matinee Wednesday and Sat
urday, fhey come highly recommended by
the Eastern press and public.
Baby Clara, who is only five years of age,
takes the part of Cinderella, and her dancing
and sioging cannot be excelled by any oue at
her age. Master Dick, ber brother, who is
one year her senior, appears as the Prince,
which is well taken by the yonng actor.
They are supported by a strong talented com
pany. There will also appear fifty beautiful
children from this city, who are well trained
for the occasion. The entire wardrobe used
is new, handsome and costly; splendid
scenery painted expressly for them; gorgeous
itage settings; everything bright and at
tractive. The prices of admission are only 10, 15
aud 25 cents. Reserved seats are on sale at
C H. Pierce k Co's. and Wilburs Railroad
Ticket Office.
Everybody in the immense audience who
witnessed "A Cold Day When We Get Lett'
on its former presentation here will rejoice
that the piece is to be again enacted at the
Grand next Wednesday evening. Brimming
toll of absurdities, it is one of the most laugh
able farcical comedies aver written. The
prices of admission will be 15, 25 and 50
cents, with no eitra charge fcr reserved seats.
The following is from the Boston Post:
"It was 'A Cold Day When We. Get Left,'
at the Howard on Monday evening, and it
the hearty applause with which the entertain
ment is greeted is any criterion, there will be
few cold days in the box otPce of that estab
lishment during the present week. The
attraction is a most singular combination of
roaring farce in a state bordering on the
delirium. Running through three acts are
strung together a series of situations of utter
absurdity and incongruity, aad the spectator
is forced to laugh without well knowing
what causes his mirth. The portion of the
entertainment displaying the most talent is
the variety melange into which the leading
feature is merged in the third act with sur
prising abruptness and ludicrousness."
S. B. Nagley imbibed too much "Bock
Bear" last night and got himself into trouble
by getting into the station house. He went
to a stand in the Market and bought some
horseradish, which he refused to pay for.
Officer Wilson and deputy Cnrren were called
and locked him up on the charge of drunk
enness and disorderly conduct.

they did with credit to themselves.
Judge Littler has been illustrated by the
