Boston, December 31.?The grand total of money embezzled from corpora? tions, private firms and the United States Government during the year 1889 waB $8,562,703. The annual appropriations for the United States navy department are less than double the amount stolen, while the sum would meet the expenses of the war department for three months. It is about equal to the total value of either the living animals, fresh and salt beef, lard, leather, petroleum or cheese exported from this conntry to Great Bri? tain in a year, more than equal to the combined amount of exports to Great Bri? tain of iron, copper and sugar, and' two thirds as great as the total volume of tobacco or maize annually exported to the same country.

A Black Man's Ylews. The Rev. Dr.. Edward W. Blyden, a highly educated negro, whose utterances have been more than once referred to in these columns, earnestly advocates the emigration of the Southern negroes to Africa. Dr. Blyden says that this is a white man's government. He thinks that white men have the right to rule, and ought to rule every State, County and city in the South, and predicts that they will so rule. The Jacksonville Times Union says of this remarkable black man : Dr. Blyden is a pure negro?the beat educated and most talented of his race, as his words and works attest. He declares that racial instincts impose upon the white people the sacred obligation to rule this section and this country. He applauds the sentiment. He warns all negroes, meaning by negroes only the pure, unmixed blood, to ignore the so called "negro leagues" and "negro con? ventions" organized for the purpose of securing "a larger measure of civil and political rights." ' He warns them not to attend the convention called .to meet in Washington city next February. He finds that all self-seeking politicians who claim to be "negroes," are mongrels, and begs of the genuine negroes to cut loose from the mulattoes, who, with no race instinct; are stirring for tbe unattainable on this continent, while the pure negroes sees clearly the status which nature has assigned him. He is docile and patient, and has been led into trouble in the South since the war, because he has suf? fered himself to be misled by the mon? grels. In Washington city Dr. Blyden failed to find a single pure-blooded negro in office, or seeking office. Of the seven million negroes and colored people in the South, abou' five million are genuine negroes, and about two millions are col? ored people, or as he calls them, mon? grels, His purpose in this conntry is to encourage the deportation of the five million negroes, or the larger per cent, of them to Liberia?not suddenly, but as President Harrison advises, in such num? bers as may become assimilated in their new homo, year after year; but 150,000 a year, beginning with the best and strongest of the race. He does not want the mixed breed at all. He sees tbe hand of the Almighty in establishing slavery on this continent that the slaves might, through a probationary appren? ticeship, become in the fullness of time, fitted to bear back to the land of his ancestors the torch of Christian civiliza? tion. It is probable that during this winter and spring the doctor will deliver a num? ber of lectures in the South. His people should hear him with attention and give his views their serious consideration. His mission is one of peace, and, whether he is mistaken or not, his devotion to what he believes to be the best interests of his race should command respect. Some of his advice is undoubtedly good, and while his proposed solution of the race problem may be unfavorably re? ceived, it is still the duty of thoughtful citizens to weigh it carefully before mak? ing up their judgment. ?

It was written last summer for the North American Re vieio; but, in consequence of what Mr. Davis characterized as the mutilation of his reply to Lord Wolseley, by the editor of the Review, he withdrew it from that periodical and gave it to Betford's Mag? azine, in the January number of which the first part of it appears. It is a remarkable paper, and will attract wide attention. "Nearly a quarter of a century has elapBed," writes Mr. Davis, "since war between the States ceased.' Has the prejudice fed on the passions of that period ceRsed with the physical strife ? Shall it descend from sire to son, hard? ened by its transmission ? Or shall it be destroyed by the full rjovelopraent of the truth, the exposure vf the guilty, and the vindication of tiw itnocont?" Believing, as Mr. Davis without a doubt did believe, that he, personally, and the Confederacy, aa n cohin-uatty, were not responsible for the tiecdiess suf? ferings and mortality of prisoners at AnderBouville, it is natural that be should have written with earnestness and warmth, even if without bitterness, in defence of his own record aDd his people. The facts that he introduces in bis paper divide themselves into three groups: The first group are designed to Bhow, while no attempt is made to deny the existence of great and needless Bufferings, yet that they were not owing to any fault of the Con'federate authorities, and that, contrary to the common belief at the North, neither the suffering nor the mor? tality among the Federal captured sol? diers iu Confederate prisons were so great as the sufferings and mortality among Confederate prisoners in Federal prisons. This last assertion will seem so as? tounding to Northern readers that, unless fortified, the rest of Mr. Davis's article will excite no attention. There- ' fore, although it is one of his last points in the order of presentation, we.quoto it first: "It must be conceded that the North? ern States are more generally healthy than the Southern. Then, with equal means and care in providing for the prisoners, it follows that the rate of mor? tality should have been as the salubrity of the country. It may bo presumed that all were "on duty" whon captured, and the average of the wounded among the prisoners about the same; therefore that all were in a condition to be bene? fited by rest and proper treatment in a favorable locality. What was the result? According to the reports of the United States War Department, the relative number of prisoners and death were in round numbers: United States prisoners held by the Confederacy.:. 270,000 Confederate prisoners held by the United States. 220,000 United States prisoners died in Confederate hands. 22,000 Confederate States prisoners died in United States hands.'.. 20,000 "From this it appears that the Con? federates, with an excess of 50,000 pris? oners, had 4,000 fewer doaths. This should not have been the case if the means of providing for them had been equal; but, in every material re?pect? in food, in clothing, in Bhelter, in medi? cine, in surgical instruments, and all which free commerce contributes?the North has greatly the advantage. Only one element remains to account for the difference?care for the defenceless; and this, in the depths of our destitution, never ceased, as the world will appreci? ate whenever impartial history shall render the justice which contemporary prejudice and passion have denied." Mr. Davis insists that the needless suf? fering at Andersonville was caused by the inhuman refusal of the Federal Gov? ernment to exchange prisoners, and de? claring medicines contrabrand of war, even after it knew that the Confed? erate Government was unprovided with food enough or medicines to care properly for the prisoners in its hands. "It was not starvation," he writes, "but acclima? tion, unsuitable diet, and despondency, which were the potent agents of disease and death." He stops iu his argument to defend both General Winder and Major Wirz from the charges of cruelty to prisoners, and tells this astounding anecdote about Wirz, on the testimony of Father Boyle among others: "Oa the evening before the day of the execution of Major Wirz, a man wished, on the part of a Cabinet officer, to inform me that Major Wirz would be 'pardoned if he would implicate Jefferson Davis in the cruelties at Andersonville. Upon my refusal to take any action in the matter, ha went to Mr. Schade, counsel for Wirz, with the same purpose and with a like result. When I asked Msjor Wirz the next morning, he told me that the same proposition had been made to him, and had been rejected, with scorn. The Major was very indignant and said that, while he was innocent of the charges for which he was about to suffer death, he would not purchase his liberty by perjury and a crime, such as had been made the consideration of his freedom." Mr. Schade confirms this astounding statement. Mr. Davis briefly reviewa the different and earnest efforts he made to exchange prisoners, and even to permit the medi? cines needed to treat Federal prisoners to be introduced, solely for their use and in charge of Federal agents who Bhould distribute them ; and he tells how every offer wa3 rejected?even the peti? tion of a committee of Andersonville prisoners who were parolled to go to Washington to present their complaints, at the request of the prisoners them? selves. The article is temperate in tone, and will be sure to be widely discussed ; for its statements, however familiar they may be to Confederate historical stu? dents, have the sensational quality of absolute novelty to Northern ears. This essay is Mr. Davis's final plea for his people. His recent death will give it a larger and a more unprejudiced audi? ence than it would have commanded during its life. Its importance as a con? tribution to the history of the war can hardly be overrated. The present gene? ration has no interest in giving credence to the prejudiced opinions of the genera? tions that fought the war. Confederates and Federals have disappeared ; only Americans remain. And it is due to the fair fame of our America that the real authors of any cruelties that have marred our national history should be con? demned, on whichever side they fought, and that injustice should be done to no man, whether ho wore the blue or the 1S90.

Preston, in the Century, we quote the following: "He had the gentlest way possible of giving counsel and administering rebuke. 1 remember hearing him say, in a presence where such a testimony was worth more than a dozen temperance lectures : 'Men need no stimulant. It is something, I am persuaded, tbey can do without. When I went into the field at the beginning of the war, a good lady friend of mine gave me two sealed bottles of very superb French brandy. I carried them with me through tho entire campaign ; and when I met my friend again, after all was over, I gave her back both bottles of brandy, with the seals unbroken. It may have been some comfort to me to know that I had them in case of sudden emergency, but the momeut never came when I needed to use them.'" Men Who Look in the Glass. The idea that women are the only mortals who gaze at themselves in a mirror may be quite generally accepted, but it is erroneous. The average man is unable to resist the desire to take a squint at himself. He may, and often does it on the'sly; but he does it, just tbe same. If anyone doubts tbe truth of this state? ment, let him catch the men as tbey step into an elevator in any one of the business blocks. The fiot thing a man does after entering is to place himself squarely before the reflo< t >r aud view bis counterpart on tbe other side of the glass. If caught at it, he usually turns quickly away, with a bang-dog expres? sion of countenance; or, if a friend bap pens to enter, be at once engages him in conversation about the weather, business, of some kind of topic. But when a fellow has the elevator all to himself, he will stand and admire himself ss long as any one of the gentler sex.?Minnea? polis Tribune. Franklin's Words of Wisdom.

Twenty-Six Boys Bead, London, Jan. 1.?The boys' section of the paupers' school in the district of Forest Gate, in connection with the Whitechapel and Popular Unions, look fire last night while the inmates were asleep and was burned with terrible re? sult, twenty six of the boy3 who were in tbe upper stories being sjffocnted be? fore they could be rescued. Fifty-eight other boys were safely taken from the burning building, amid terrible excite? ment. Two of the matrons of the institu? tion escaped in safety by sliding down wa? ter pipes. Several of tho boys escaped in the same way. The superintendent of the echool rushed through the flames repeatedly and brought out a number of the inmates. There were 000 persons in tbe institution. The bodies of those who were suffoca? ted were carried to the main hall of the building, which was still profusely decorated with Christmas garlands. The fire was started from an overheated stove. The female department, in which were 250 girls, was not touched. Tho boys rotired last evening in the highest spirits, having been promised presents and a New Year's fete to-day. Tbe scenes in the main hail, where the bodies of the dead boys lie, are harrowing. Relatives and schoolfellows of those who perished are loud in their lamentations. Further reports of the.fire show that it originated in tbe clothing room, be? neath the boys' dormitory. The smoke and flames issuing from the stove flue alarmed tho?e sleeping on tho top floor, and they made their escape. Tbe fire engines were promptly on the scene. The employees of the adjacent railway station rushed to the ?T"e and rendered valuable assistance. The crira of the boys who were unable to escape were terrible. The bodies of two boys were badly burned, but it is believe ! that they were suffocated before I hey weio burned. The ages of the boys arc from 7 to 12 years. ? John Ij.

How HJb Tlmo 1b Spent In College (hunting undergraduates and special students together, there are 1,,140'young men between tho agus of 17 and 24 now residing at Harvarfcollege. Tho writer enjoyed an Interview with qne of tho Buffalo boys, -who woe at iiomo for a brief recess, a short time ago. "You will understand," ho said, "Jhat I am neither a 'grind' nor a loafer, but an av? erage student, and tho vast majority of thorn live just about as I da A picture of my college day i? about aa follows: I turn out anywhero between 7:80 and 8 in tho morning, and go over to Memorial to breakfast at 8 or 8:30?sometimes curlier than that, so as to go to chapel. Prayers como at 8:45, and are well at? tended, though wo don't have to go unless wo choose. After this recitations and lectures tako up nearly tho wholo fore? noon, and I havo ono in tho afternoon three times a week. On four days of tho week I havo three recitations, on tho others two. Other men have them dif? ferently, according to tho elcctives they take. My studies are over for the day at 8 p. rn., and they occupy, all told,; about seven hours a day. "I'm interested in athletics, and my afternoon from 8 to 5:30 is spent in the gymnasium, or in outdoor athletics in tho season for them. Part of our train? ing,, in suitable weather, consists of a run of two miles, to Porter's station and back. Tho gymnasium is always crowded, and you get pretty well beared up K? your exercise, whatever it is. Then, after a cold shower and a brisk rubbing, you feel like a king, and don't you just sleep nights, though! I find that my athletic training helps my studies greatly. Din? ner comes at 0, and I generally study evenings, though not always. I've been to the theatres some eight or nine times this term, but I don't like to go to Boston much. It takes too long and you havo to bo up late, which won't do when you aro in training. "Many people havo tho idea that you can let your studies go and loaf, or worse, until two or thrco weeks before tho ex? aminations, and thou cram up. This is utter nonsense. It is simply impossible to keep up with your class in that way, unless, indeed, you can spend $100 or ?150 for private tutors, and even then you wouldn't be safo. As for cutting recitations, if you mado a practice of do? ing it offener than twico a week, you'd bo investigated, sure as fate?and that is not at all pleasant "On Sundays I go to church some? where?sometimes to Boston to hear Phillips Brooks, sometimes to the college chapel, sometimes elsewhere. There are usually 400 or COO at morning prayers, and inoro than that at the Sunday even? ing servico, though you don't havo to go to cither unless you want to."?Buffalo Express. Chorine Banks.
