A Symphony iit Color,

One does not need to go to the leafv woods or to the remote mountains to find beautv ol color or ot for m. If one has an artistic eye he can find beauty enery where. What can be lovelier than the varied colot and combinations that can be seen anv day in front of any Crawfordsville grocerv store. There are the delicate tints of the I peach, the dark purple of the grape, the rich red of the plum ami tomato, the dark and light mottled green (if the watermelon, the beautilully veined vcllowand brown ol the tnuskmelon. Then there is the prosaic cabbage, uand very good it is with its proper compliment of pork) the light and dark green ol its opaque leaves are mddels ol beauty. The rich, shinv purple of the egg plant makes the dark yellow ol the warty crooknccked squash seem deeper by contract. Then there are the whitened stalks ot Lhe celery with leaves as beautiful a* are the bonded palms ot oriental cliifies. The little vellow tomatoes lying side by side their green confrerers of the cucumber vines are perfect symphonies in color. The old masters or the moderns never depicted better colorings or handsomer groupings than the trained or appreciative eye can see on our streets any dy.y in the week.

Abat« the .Nuisance.

We .ue in receipt of a communication asking us to call the attention ot the Citv Council to an intolerable nuisance and to say that if there is no ordinance already on the statute books providing lor its abatement one should be passed and enforced vigorously. The matter which lias so exercised our correspondent is the fact of the blackbirds roosting in the trees o\ erhanging the sidewalks, and she wants an ordinance forbidding them to roost therj and compelling them to seek quarters outside the city limits. We don't see why if they can abolish cows thev can't do t*.e same with blackbirds. The "attention of the Council is called to the matter.

It was a hearty welcome to the brilliant candidate for Heporter, and the speech was one that did much good for the Hepubluan cause.

Tin* Citj Pulpit*. Occupied by tht? A. M. 1C. ('niilt'icnn' Member*. The puipit* of ^everal 1 tlie citv churches were occupied Sunday and ihat night bv the minivers of the A.M. E. Conference now in ?ession in this city. Dr. J. M. Townvetui, of Richmond, the Missionary Secretary, pre:.ched a scholarly and able sermon Sunday night att'enter churcii on the subject of "Immorlalitv." At lhe i^'irht Fresbvterian church Rev. Dr. D. P. Roberts preached in the morning and Rev. J. 11, Davis in the evening. Hoth sermons are spoken ol as being able, instructive and entertaining. Rev. T. E. Wilson lectured at College Chapel in the afternoon. Hoth the A, M. K. and the African Hapti*t churclies wi.re supplied bv .listinguished visitors. At the Methodist church Rev. D. A. Graham preached in the morning. Rev. J. H. Clay at night, and lJishop John M. lirown in the alternoon. The Htshop chose for his text Mathew v., 5: ''Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit »he earth." ThischaJter contains the beatitudes ot Jesus. *lle thought tliis the most striking and gives to us the most strength. Persecutions were a blessing. Me said that the man who was meek was one who had conquered and whose greatest desire *vas complete consecration to God. He was a man of a holy and happy disposition and had great charitv for the opinions ol others.

He said that a man of a simple mind could afford to see something good in others, wait to study the ueak points instead ot the worst points of others that this great .vorld wa to be made good onlv bv the meek, that the meek man was not a coward truckling at lhe teet of her% but that he was a man whose heart is fixed on God. Men are to conquer the world, not bv abu«»e and tault finding, but bv meekness gentleness and kindness. He ueir *:r

a urunken young man, by simplv saying, "young man. get up Irani there," He said that God loved the world with a divine love, and that his piogramme was not lo destroy, but to save the world and that when this world was thus swed from sin wickedness, that the meek should inherit it. He retered to the fact thai we were to have a new heaven and a new earth, and that he cculd not understand the need of th'.se things unless they were made for man to live in. The Bishop grew more eloquent at the close and left a lasting impression upo.i the mind and hearts of the lar^e audience. A collection ot $22.SO was taken up by Dr. 1). P. Roberts. The Bishop was assisted by his son, Rev. D. P. Brown, of Evanston. ill. Bishop Brown is the only Bishop, white or colored, who has a son as an ordained elder, and he certainly is a promising young man.

Natural Gun to He Piped.

W. R. Oglebay, of Tipton. representing the Indiana Light and Fuel Company, is here looking over the ground and feeling the pulse of the people with a view to piping natural gas from the Kemptoi: iields to this city. Monday he asked the City Council lo have an ordinance passed giving his company the privilegeof using the street's and alleys for such purpose. He docs not usk for an exclusive privilege, but simply permission upon conditions similar that would be granted to other persons or corporal ions. The plans of the company are to come by way of Thorntown and Lebanon and turuisli these and the intervening villages with Iht much desired lluid. Tie1 rates to consumers are not lixed in tlie ordinance which lie has been preparing.but it is understood that thev will lie about the same as Lima or Toledo. At these places where the gas is piped some distance. it is stated that the gas fuel is about forty per cent, cheaper than any kind of coal that we use. Mr. Oglebay has met. with no discouragement, as the people are dead ripe for natural gas and are willing to lend their aid anil encouragement to forward the enterprise. tf course the City Council must Use due diligence and can1 lo sci that the rights of the citizens are properly protected.

Our Sellouts.

The following from the Lafayette Sunday Times hits the nail on the head exactly. "Some teacheis have an idea that the school room is merely a place of recitation, the pupil being expected to piepare his or her lessons al home. Now. 1 think thU is all wrong, for two reasons. First, such an idea results in making tin? parent a teacher. This throws an inconvenient burden oil tinparent which somebody else was paid to bear. But second, and much more important. boys and girls should be allowed to give all ol their out of school hours to mental and physical real ion. No tasks should be imposed that would require hours of close application at home. Lessons should be studied as well as recited at school--that, is what, schools are for—and it tlii- gives teaches a little more trouble-that is what teachers

When questioned as to bis age he said he was 2S years old on the 7th of March following the battle of New Orleans. lie remembers this because he was a slave and was sold at that time and this was the age given his purchaser by his master. As that battle was fought in 1S15 seventythree years ugo, this would make fiis age now 101 years. He is probably the oldest, man ot any color in the Stale.

His leinarks were full of good ideas on the yient missionary spirit which should prevail in every religious denomination and was well received.

The committee 011 temperance made a report which created quito a discussion when it touched upon politics. Finally the part relating to Prohibition was stricken out and all was serene again.

The closiiiL' business session of the A. L.AnnualConlerence was held Monday night- 'I he business session was precceded by an old fashioned love feast, conducted bv Hev. J. I-\ Ferguson. The btead and water were passed after which the members of the Conference gave in their testimony in behalf of Him whom thev served. The meeting was rich in experience and exhibited great depth of love in the cause of Christianity. The speaking wat interspersed with singing old tiiLe hymns and melodies and tin- zest with which they wen rendered made the meeting a most en joyable one.

morals will have been reached. Intemperance seems to be the.great threatening evil of our times, and just how this evil is to bo met and conquered and banished from our borders is a question which must be decided upon ami fol lowed to a happy conclusion by the friends of reform. Vour committee on temperance will no doubt recommend something along this line. "We are now in the midst of a heated political campaign in which we can not in any wise be unconcerned. As the majority of our people belong to that class known as lhe laboring class, and as the issue involved in this campaign is that of high vs. low tariff, or protection to American industries ami American labor vs. destruction to American industry and propel tv for tho American labor.

We insist upon it that uverv minister study closely tho situation, that thev may in turn advise the people in those things which will tend to their own prosperity ai well as to the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation.

That we are not in the enjoyment of the fullest and freest rights of American citizenship is a fact to bo deplored. In many localities, especially at the South,
