Fitzhugh to Negroes. LEXINGTON, KY., Dec. 18.-Captain M. R. Fitzhugh, who was a gallan t Con fed?rate soldier under Generals Ma lone and Early and other distinguish ed Confederate leaders, and who has iieen a tireless laborer for the upbuild ing of the negro race, has issued'an address to the negroes of Kentucky. Captain Fitzhugh for the last she years nas been the financial agent of the Col ored Orphan's Home, and has traveled all over the North and South! in the in terests of this institution. The follow ing excerpts are taken from ^he ad dress : "It is the very oiucerity of interest that impels me to istop beating about the 'bush, and, yielding to the irrepres ?fblo mandates of my convictions, frankly tell my friends among the col dr?d people, those who will not ques tion the sincerity of my motives, that it is practically the unanimous decis ion of the people of this country that ?egroes should not be permitted to rule over white people in any State or .om munity of a State, let their majori ty be what it may. * * * "The politicians of the country, and, for the most part, your well wishers and benefactors, have said or intima ted one thuig to you, and another thing when you were not present. You have been betrayed for over thirty years into following the the ignis fatuus of .dvil equality until you have wandered well nigh unto your destruction. * "My advice to you, then, is to give np trying to do the impossible and seek to promote your own wise ends by selecting for your representatives the best white citizens of the commun ity, tooee who bold substantial inter ests in the community, and whose high and chivalrous characters area'guaran tee of their justice and humanity to ward ali men." ? - The Popular Science News gives tho reasons why persons should be cov ered when lying down, pr even taking J a nap. The object is simply this: Nature takes the time when one is tying down to give the' heart a rest, and that organ consequently makes ten strokes less a. minute than when ?le is in an upright posture. Multi plying that by 60 minutes gives 600 strokes. Therefore, in eight hours spent in lying down, the heart is saved nearly 5,000 Strokes, and as .the heart pumps six ounces of blood with each stroke it lifts 30,000: ounces Jess of Mood ina night of eight hours spent in bed than when one isin an upright position. As the blood fiows so much mora slowly through the veins while ?ne is lying down, extra coverings mnst then supply the warmth usually f urnisthed by circulation. - The Chester county almshouse gives shelter to three interesting char acters, viz: A man who twenty-five years ago was worth $200,000, but, largely by reason of bis generous na ture, lost-it ali ; Sallie Elbert, one of . the lait Oi the Lenape tribe of Indians that were numerous io Chester county years ago, and Rebecca Thomas, col ored, said to be 103 years old, and who gays she remembers seeing the town of Havre de Grace, Md., burned by the British as she stood on the porch of her master's house.
