••Sorry foir you, corpora we must

It was a case In which the victim had
nothing to say. When he returned .to
consciousness, his left leg had Imen am
putated at the knee, and he was lying
amoivg a hundred other wounded men.
The loss of his money occurred to him
at once, and he made the fact known
to a comrade who had tiecn shot In the

Well, it w amusing to read these
stale platitudes and theories about the

some of them a delusion, ami some art-

separation is the only solution arid the

dollar spent on their education widens
the gulf between the races. One very
sensible writer says stop tbeir voting
and stop paying taxes for their educa
tiou.
Take them all together and they
don't harmonize on any'plan, though
a large majority with Dr. Curry in the
lead, are for education—more educa

great aud good a man as Dr. Curry to
be mistaken. He aud Bishop Candle:

made a life long business of educating'
youug people, and are naturally dis
posed to magnify lia importance, hul
it seems to me when we try an expert

one hundred millions of dollars on it,
and tha negroes got worse instead ol

other method.

in the same negroes we had bflflaH

old time negroes had a very good edu-
not in book learning; but by
contact and ansi nation with llu ir
masters and their masters' families amt
neighbors. Education is not all gotun
from books. It comes through the ear
as well as through the eye. Our old
time slaves were better educated for
usefulness and happiness than are the
college graduates of to-day. They bail
more common sense and far tuore
