and twiee daring the day the miniature

f?^a a 6-iocb and once again with a

' feat is possibly unparalleled io the an?
nals of goonery.

A Negro City.
The most unique of all the oolooiza
tioo schemes for founding cities is that
which is io charge of Moses Bentley, a
colored barber of Atlanta.
^ Bentley bas bis plans well under
way and be will not take bis emigrants
to any far away place, in Africa or
^Liberia, bat will settle them in Geor?
gia, and will do so at small cost to tbose
who follow.
Bentley's scheme is to found a city
exclusively for the negro. He i? to
bave'the entire government conducted
\by the people of bis own race-a negro
mayor, negro councilmen, negro polioe
* mes and in fact, as there are to be no
white people living within the city
limits, every office holder will be a
negro Then, the laws are to be the
work of negro mental labor.
In order to carry oat bis idea, it is
proposed to resarreot an old "Deserted
Village," re-establish a city which ooce
flourished nearly a hundred
years ago and which has literally been
wiped off the face of the map. This
wa? Sunbury, thc city which was
located on the Sunbury river, at its
mooth, in Liberty county, Ga , on the
seacoast. In the year 1800
Sunbury was a Sooth Georgia
*t "boom towo," and it quickly
sprang into popularity, all the wealthy
planters of tbat section going there
aod building beautiful bornes In
1820 Sunbury had some ten or fifteen
thousand inhabitants and was
considered a model city. Ships
came into its harbor and it was
regarded a commercial center of no
mean proportioos. But suddenly
Sunbury began to decline. It was
sickly on account of malaria and
the people fled from the city
as if a piagae had stricken the
place. In a few years the city was al?
most deserted And now only three or
four h?ts mark the spot where once it
flourished.
Benitl- [? to build bis model negro
ci:? ? :u ?he site of old Sunbury He
has ascertained that while the white
peopi^ cannot stand the malaria of that
districtv the miasma has no ill effects
upon negroes The land is rich and
caa be bo\nghr. cheap It cao be made
a shipping point for many miles
around.-Spartanburg Herald.

Washington, Feb. 17.-The senate
committee OD foreign relations gave the
Saoguilly case careful consideration
thia morning, the subject coming before
the committee on the joint resolution
of Senator Call, instructiog the Presi?
dent to demand the immediate release
of Julio Sanguilly with permissioo to
return to the Uoired States The cor?
respondence which has been sent to the
senate was thoroughly gone over, but.
the committee fioaily agreed to post?
pone action emil to morrow, so that the
state department could respond to the
committee's inquiry as to whether there
bar* been any developments io the case
since the sending of the correspond
eoce to the senate. The case appears,
io the opinion of the oomroittee, to b6
au aggravated ooe, and it is thought
that the seGtiment ?of the oountry is
favorable for the recommeodatioo of the
passage of Mr. Call's resolutions.

Io some sections of the country it is
fashionable to blackguard the Wilson
tariff law, but figur?s show the foreign
trade of the year 1896 to have been the
largest this country every had. Our
exports amounted to $1.000.000,000,
while our imports were $680.000,000,
leaving a balance of trade in our favor
of ?326,000.000 These figures show
that the tariff is not the disease respon?
sible for the couotry's troubles, not?
withstanding republican assertions to
the comrary.
SPEAKING TO THE DEAF.
I A Mistake Is Often Made In Trying to
Enunciate Very Plainly.
Many people, and I am sorry to say
some teachers of the deaf, fail to realize
-in practice at least-that speech is not
as clearly visible to the eye as it is audi?
ble to the ear, and think that by speak?
ing slowly, word by word, and opening
their mouths to the widest extent, they
will render the *ask of the speech reader
easier. As a matter of fact they render
it all the more difficult A child in
school may learn to understand a teach?
er who mouths his words in this man?
ner, but this ability is of no value to
him when be leaves school. Indeed per?
fectly natural, deliberate speech is easier
to understand than the exaggerated
form of articulation which people are
apt to use the moment they know they
are talking tc a totally deaf person.
People who depend entirely upon
their speech reading for understanding
others have requested me, when intro?
ducing them to strangers,* not to say
that-- they were deaf; because they find
it easier to read the lips when the per?
son speaking is not aware that he is be?
ing understood in that way. I have in
my acquaintance a yotrhg man educated
wholly by this method who travels a
great deal and picks up acquaintances
on the steamer or on the train just as
people'sd? who possess all their faculties.
- I have in mind also a congenitally
deaf girl ot 14 who is not considered
unusually bright, yet whose, speech is
clearly intelligible to strangers after
the first ten minutes, who is intelligent
on the topics of the day, and whose
larger and more conversational reper?
tory is much'larger and more entertain?
ing than that of many young ladies of
20 and over that I have met in metro?
politan society.-John Dutton Wright
in Century.
. The Captain Told Kim.
An Englishman, touring through
America, went on board a steamer late
one night and on the following morning,
after walking on deck and looking
around him, he stepped up to the cap?
tain and asked, "I beg your pardon, but
would you kindly tell me what lake
I'm on?"
"The Lake Huron, " replied the cap?
tain and turned away. ^
The Englishman looked puzzled for a
moment, and then, following the cap?
tain, began again, "I beg your pardon,
you said"
"It's the Lake Huron, " roared the
captain, thinking the man was deaf,
"Yes, I know," persisted the passen?
ger, "but wnat's the name of the lake
that I'm on?"
"The Lake Huron!" shouted the cap?
tain, incensed at what he thought gross
stupidity, and he turned away to relieve
-himself by railing at one cf the hands.
The Englishman looked more puzzled
than ever.
"The lake you're on is the lake you're
on. Of course it is. The laka I'm on
can't help being the lake I'm on. What
impertinence! Let me look in my guide?
book. Perhaps that will tell me."
It did tell him, and then the humor
of the situation suddenly dawned upon
him.-London Tit-Bits.
' Mrs. Hearst's Motive.
Mrs. Phoebe Hearst of California has
given $200,000 to found a niini7:g school
in connection with the state university
at Berkeley as a memorial -to her hus?
band. She gives largely to the free kin?
dergartens, supports several college set?
tlements and contributed 51,000 to tho
recent campaign for the woman suffrage
amendment. She has also given $:>C0,

girls at the state university. She said to
