Just at that moment a large party of American tonrists. unaware of the critical situation of the Pontiff, ascended the grand staircase, talking and laughing. They were approached by a gendarme. who said. "Please do not make any noise, as the Holy Father is dying." This produced great emotion among the tourists, and tiny immediately retired.

Dr. Lapponi profited by the Pope'i animation to administer restoratives after which the patient sank back u: suddenly as lie had revived. The words the I'oue addressed b Cardinal Oreglla are much eoinuientei upon, and some wondered whether tin intention of I>eo XIII. was to indicate Cardinal Oroglia as his successor. The first notifications from Cardlna Oreglia of the Pope's demise were sen! to the Cardinal Dean, representing tlx College of Cardinals, and the Cardlna Vicar, representing the Bishopric ol Rome. Immediately after the acered Red representatives of the foreign pow ers to the Vatican were informed Moiisignor Xocella. the Secretary of tlx Sacred College, communicated witl those Cardinals who were absent fron Home, and requested them to attem Immediately at the forthcoming con clave.

Following them eaiue the Noble (iuards. to watch over the Pontiff's remains, the brilliancy of their uniform contrasting strikingly with the sombre attire of the monks and the solemn dignity of the chamber itself. The only sound heard was the measured chanting of the Psalms of Penitence by a group of monks kneeling beside the couch of death. Two Noble fSuards took up positions at the foot of the couch and stood there, rigid and si'eut as statues, with swords drawn and reversed, pointing to the floor. 1"- .hnml.M Plllcl) 1 lie UlillH the satin- appearance as it did during the illness of the Pope.

I p m kSSSXSS&S^iiltSSiSXIiKiliSCSIt Some fifty years ago there was a iogmatic old squire in the sevcn:eenth district of this, Cass county, vhose name was Jim McGmnis. Ho , lad plenty of what is called good lorse sense, a determined will and ibundanee of prejudice. He won the r. P. machine in that district for about :wenty years, and his final judgment n a case was the law of the settlenent. Nobody dared to appeal of ear y the case up for fear of offending lim and losing the next case they had i n his court. One time a fellow sued another fellow for the hire of a negro. Judge Parrott was on one side, and Colonel | A.bda Johnson on the other, and when i Lhe judge started to read his law from I 3reenleaf on "Evidence." Colonel Johnson stopped him and made the point that Mr. Greenleaf was a very smart man and had writ a power of good law, but that he was a yankee and lived in Boston and knew no ; more about hiring negroes than a i lieaten knows about Sunday. The old squire asked for the book, and looked over the title page, saw that it was printed in Boston and so he ruled it out of h?s court, and Parrott lost his case. The squire said that Mr. Green- ; leaf lived a little too fur off to bo j familiar with the business. I've seen a good many pieces of i late about the negro and the great southern problem. The people up north begin to admit that they can't see through it We are tired of nil this nonsense about slavery. It was no blot. It was i nature. There are heap of people now in the south who look upon slavery like it was Achan's wedge of gold and perished under the condemnation of God and man, but I don't yant anybody to teach my children any such 3landers, for I know it was in the main a humane institption. and if the nigger is any better off now than he used to be, I can't see. The whites are better off, a long ways, but the nigger ain't. I've great respect for the old i time darkies. I know lots of 'em I would fight for. If I was to see a man Imposing on my good old faithful friend, Tip, I would fight for him like I would fight for my children. I love these good old darkies. I am willing to live with 'en and die with 'em, and : be buried with 'em in the same grave yard, and when Gabriel blows his horn I can rise from the dead with em without any fear that it will destroy the hilarity of the occasion, as General Toombs said. I love these old darkies, not as my equals, but as I love my children. I love them because they love me and are dependent upon me. The relation between the white and black race is by nature one of protection on the one side and dependence upon the other, and when it ceases to be that I have no use for the nigger. It is always a pleasure to me to befriend 'em when they want my friendship and my help, but when they aspire to be my equal and put on independent airs. I've got no further sympathy. I have been raised to look upon negroes as children, children in youth and children In manhood and old age. I didn't have any hand in/making 'em that way. It is their human nature and they can't help it, and I have a sovereign con- | tempt for any effort their r-ople are ! making to change their relation to j us. for it can't be done.

His best education is one of contact, close contact with the white race. If we will iet the negro alone and keep him cut of poli- | tics he will get along very well and i there will be no problem to solve. There never would have been any ! problem if he had been let alone. He ! has no business with office or in the j jury box or in the legislature, and he : never will have. This is a white man's j government and the white man must: govern it. The negro loves to depend upon the ! white maiTand the white man loves ; the homage of the negro. It suit3 and ! fits both races and I hope it will stay so. I heard an old physician say that he had never seen a great-grandchild that descended from mulatto parents In a mulatto succession. The crossing of races has never improved them. Not even will the Jew and the Gentile mix with harmony. John Randolph boasted of his Pocahontas blood, but I reckon it run out in John, for that was the last of it. History makes no rec-! ord of two races living together in i peace unless one was in a state of de- j pendence upon the other. Our modern philanthropists are deceiving the negro when they flatter him with a capacity equal to the whites in fitness to invent or to govern, or to rise to the , heroic or the sublime. I reckon if one ( of our millionaires was to die and leave liis money for the education of poor white children it would be a violation of some of the constitutional amendments. We want to help rhe negro, but we want him to help himself ( first. He has got to work out his own advancement by Industry and by sav- < iug what he makes before education will do him any good. Dr. Mayo, of ] Eoston. was the superintendent of 1 education in that state, and he said: | "The negroes must be told that no people In any land was ever so marvelously led by Providence-as they have been for 250 years. Indeed all the good there was in a slavery was for them. It was that severe school of regular work, and that drill in the primeval virtues which every race must eet at the start and their slavery was a charity school, compared with the desolation and tyranny by which the European nations came up to their present civilized life. If the Southern freedmen now lie down in stolid indiference to their future they will deserve all that their most contemptuous critics say of them." This is sensible talk. There is no foul blot, in that view of slavery and It is good talk to the negro. What the bad negro wants Is les3 chaingang and .more whipping and the bad white man should be punished the same way.?
