Watch)ns fur Plrca. The negroes in Charleston are in a terribly ejrclted,,^Condition over the prophecy of a crazy negro woman that the city would be destrojed fiy^a great tire and that every one living In It would be burned up. The woman said the city would lie destroyed Tuesday night of last week, but the passing of the set time without the catastrophe did not help matters as the negroes are still excited. The Charleston Tost says negroes spent last night again in the streets, parks and along the Water front, fearing that the senseless prophecy of the woman may yet lx: realised. Many of the negroes whu crossed the river by the Ashley bridge, and in small boats, when they saw the reflection of the (ire in the suburbs, have not returned to the city. Many households were again Thursday tnorniug without cooks and oilier hit vants. A large numlier of laborers also skipped out ot the city, and U»ey. have not yet returned to their -posi tions. The reassuring woids of the employers have had some effect upon the friglilefted negroes, but Mils was not sufficient to keep many from re maining up half ihe night, for fear that the expected catastrophe might catch them” In their beds or rooms, which spemed a thing to be avoided. It Is remarkable that such a condi tion of affairs should prevail for so long a time among the negroes, but it is all owing to the general ignorance of the the people. Some of the negroes have taken even thehr-ehildren from school, fearing that accident might befall them there. There Is no estimating the loss of life and the ex tent of the exodus which would have ensued on Tuesday night, If an alarm of Are h*d been turned th while the negroes were so terror-stricken. A panic would have taken place, which would eerUlnly have had very serious consequences, considerably reducing the colored population of Charleston The coroners and police would have beeh busy and the city hospital would have been taxed to its utmost ca pacity- There would have ijeen MANY VICTIMS.

Later they met in Richmond, Va., when Mr. McConnell remarked that he tired tire last shot from his com pany and brought down the color- hrarcr of the Twenty-sixth North Carolina regiment. “Then you are the man who shot Col John It. Lane,”, declared Col. Hurgwyn. Arrangements were tb*n~ made for the meeting which took place here Kirday, and Mr. McConnell said: “Ycal have come all the way from Chicauound brought my wife for no other purpose than to piasp tliek hand of-tho gallant man 1 tried to kill and thought then that 1 succeed ed.” The l oax l<:. t Jos>e> recorded on any modern )>attleheld Vve.e To ~tt» Twenty sixth North Carolina regi ment,. with a.loss of !)(i pt r cent., "and the Twenty fourth Michigan, with 80 per cent. hiss.

Ills argument that the real solu tion of the negro problem will be found When the people of the north realize that it is vastly more important to give to the negro the industrial train ing necessary to fit him foe goad citi zenship than to prate about social aud political “rights” may not be new, but the fact that it comes from sue!) a source is important. “It is ih the nature of cumulative evidence going to prove that the thinking people of all parts of the north are beginning to see the negro problem in the proper light. When men like Mr. Eckels and Mr. Cleveland and Dr. Parkhurst join in impressing upon the people of the northern states that what the negro most needs in his preparation Tor use ful citizenship is industrial education —the intelligent education of the hand; when such men realize for them selves, and show to their fellows that the people of the south are working earnestly and honestly on these lines 4nd when they pointout the folloy of those who demand impossible things for the negro, they prove themselves real friends of the negro race. v That northern sentiment is rapidly coming, to a realization of the truths of the race question Is well for the country and well for the negro. -gyage t -— - - Hi-other Hoiiiph Shocked.
