"Yes, with the exception of about three families. They are staving with onr peo ple in the locality of California street. Of all who hare arrived say in the neighbor hood of 600. bat three families are unpro Tided for." "Can Ton tell me where these families have been located?" 4I could accurately by referring to my notes. Let me think. Eleven families have gone to Union City, 10 to Crawfordaville, 70 to Greencastle and vicinity, 10 to Terre Haute, one to Greenfield and 23 persons, simong whom were two men, to Shelbyille." "The location of more in the last-named place was prevented, I believe." "I have been told bo." "Have not several families been located about Indianapolis?" "Yes, Colonel Streight has given homes to four, and Stoughton Fletchor, jr., has located several families on his lands. Some of the last lot went to Spencer, some to Greenfield and some to Terre Haute." "When do you expect another lot?'' "Not immediately. There will be some more coming in the spring. I have this word that the agents have dispatched back not to send any more crowds to the city. They can not be provided for." In this connection the following extract from a letter from Washington, December 13. 1879. will show that even then the en terprise had become burdensome: We have ready to ship about 150 rnlnrpxl emigrants to your State. I am sorry to say that they ceme upon us with out money, making it necessary for ns to feed tnem and raise money to end them to von. The maiority of vour Indiana men in this city do very little for the cause in rh wit of material aid. We have about exhausted the resources of our humanitarUn. Those here, who have means, have no sympathy with the exodus, as they are all rebel sympathizers. We can in future nnlv feed those who come this way, while passine through direct, and assist them to K . . . - ITT- H. 1 - 1 I nnu nomes in me west. uvb uopw th State of Indiana would aid us in send ing them from this city, but no help yet very truly yours, O. S. B. Waix, President E. A. Society, D. C. "What is the condition of the immigrants who have arrived?" I next asked. As I remarked before, all the families hut three have found homes, and I have had favorable accounts of their condition. They all express themselves very well sat-;rf;rf-There is no distress among them here. Some are in pretty close circum stances not more than falls to the lot o the poor none are Buffering.' "Is there much sickness and death ?'' "Three have died one woman and two children. A eood many have the measles. "Is it true that one of the emigrants gave hirth to a child in the California Street Phnrr.hr That may be. I had not heard of it thAn?h- I know several women arrived in a condition which made it expedient to and them homes verv Quickly.' "Have yon any idea how many colored neoole there are in tne otaie : "N'o. It is nrettv difficult to ascertain The next census that will be published was taken before this tide of emigration set in. And the colonies from North Carniinn am not all who arrive. Some 50 o the last lot came from Kentucky; and they ar rnmincr in all the time from different points, and settling over the State. It is nothing new, excepting the large numbers in a lot. There shas been a steady stream of colored emigration into the State for Acpral vears particularly since the war hooan and ended.'' I have not seen Mr. Williams, but I am told he is greatly dissatisfied. Says he is li vins? or trvinz to live on one dollar a week, and was at the expense of $18 in bringing his family here." "Mr. Williams said something of the fcind to me. but he ought not to be in disrps- I cave him money to go with his family to Greencastle. It is something I can not nndeirstand where the agents (such as Williams and Perry) get pay from. They must be reaping it from some society or from the emigrants themselves. I do not spa how thev do subsist. If they under take to be agents they should look out for their pay somewnere- iney can noi are on air. Williams told me he wanted assistance. Perry is still active; he has gone to Kansas." "From what part of North Carolina do ine lmmigmina wujc, mmi.iuohj "I do not know. Tneydo not know them selves, 'La Grange' and Goldsboro' are most frequently named, or from such and ench a Court-nouse. imugniDg.j "Or Beard's hatter shop," I suggested. "What do you know about that?" quickly asked the parson, with a smiling face. "I had an uncle who hailed from there!" I replied. . "And my mother was raised there. I have heard her talk by the hour about 'Beard's hatter shop' and Dobson's Crossroahs.' prJtSOHAL TO THE PASTOR. "Where were you born, may I ask?" In Monroe county, N. C, August 30, 1820. Father emigrated to this State in 1830, and settled in Orange County. In about two years he removed to Owen County where he squatted on Congress land, which he entered and obtained patents for. Then he sold and bought property in Vigo County, wher he lived for years. He was in the Baptist ministry, a preacher for 60 years." "How much of a family had he?" "Eighteen children. They are all dead but nine three daughters and six sons re living. My parents are both dead." "Tell me something of your own life-" "I was raised a farmer in Vigo County. In 1854 I went into the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal church, and have labored in many vineyards of the Lord. First, Muscatine, Iowa; Charleston, Newport, Richmond and Indianapolis, Ind: then Muscatine again' and Springfield, and Chicago. 111. My last charge was Quincy, 111." "Where did you get your education?" I "Got it as I could. I had six months' Befooling in all. A gentle man in Hpringfield, 111., asked me in what college 1 graduated. I told him in the chimney corner by the light of hickory bark. We did not have such liht as thL," he added, pointing to the nicely trimmed coal oil lamp on the table. "The best we had was a hog's lard lamp with a broad canton flannel wick in it, or drippings of meat fat in a pan, with a rag wick in a bent corner. The new comers donot have to rough it, af ler all as we did in those days." r In the package of baggage notes shown were several rairoad notices of the arrival of good and charges, which further testified that the immigrants did not come quite empty-handed. THE CENTENARIAN AQAIN. Of Mrs, Trevan, a comely and intelli"

gent lady, I was fortunate enough to ob

tain some luformation in regard to the very old colored woman I had failed to find when I last wrote about the colored exodus. ' Mrs. '.Trevan knows her very welL With Elder TreAan she was instru mental in procuring her a home." and the old woman visits- them quite frequently. Her name is Blue, and she lives with a family by the name of Washington, sure enough, butihey reside a couple of miles from town. The smart old woman walk the distance without any difficulty, notwithstanding her 108 years. Indeed,she does not look nearly that old. Her hair is not much ?ray, her figure is erect, and her step is active and firm. She is in posses ion of most of her faculties, and is an interesting study. Some idea o( the part she has played in life may be gathered from the fact that she was the mother of 26 children. Two of her daughters had 25 children apiece, and several Jof hr daughter gave birth to from 10 to 15 children. The decendants of Mrs. Blue run up to nearly 500. In her hegira from Sörth Carolina, Mrs. Blue was accompanied by a venerable daughter, 69 years of age. She was married last Augu&t to a man about her own mi . 1 .1 a A 28. iney, wuu tne mower, are quav ered .t the Washington home, before menioned.

In another place in this issue we reproduce an article from tho Indianapolis Leader, the colored men's paper of Indiana, addressed to the colored men of Grant county; adjur ing them to stand true and solid with the Republican party. Every colored man in Grant county should read and heed it. In ans vor to to tne intimations of the .Leader that there must be some cause for colored men so voting, we will say that, liko some white men, they permitted a few political and general scoundrels to draw them from the path of duty, but we think they will not again do so. With tho Legislative power now in the hands of the old-time onslavers of tho colored people, the Democratic party, and the possibility that within a year the executive power may also bo obtained by the same power, the right of suffrage may be wrested from the colored people. To make a few now doubtful States reliably Democratic by depriving colored men of the right to vote would be an act which the Democratic party would quickly do if they had the power. Their right to suffrage is not nearly so well established to day as it was five years ago; for it is well known that in several States the colored people are practically disfranchised by this same Democratic party, and tho only reason that it does not disfranchise them in all the States is, it does not possess the power to do so. Letter From Wilberforce. To tbe Editor of tha Leader. Knowing the wide circulation of your paper, and the interest which it gives its readers, I feel that they would like to know something of the 'jots and dots" of Wilberforce. Wilberforce University, situated three miles east of Xenia, O., on tbe Columbus and Cincinnati pike, in the county of Green; promises to be (if not already) one of the best colored schools of the land. President lt. F. Lee. whose intellectual ability would give credit to any seminary of learning is a graduate of this institution. Next and a graduate of the same institution, we have l'rof. J. V. Shorter, professor of mathematics, and second to none. We have as professor of language, W. 8. Fearborough, a graduate of Oberlin college, whose ability to bold such a position can not be doubted, Thirdly, ana teacher of French and natural ncieuces is Mrs S. C. Bierce, who has long since proven herself worthy of the position she hold. Lastly, but not the least is our worthy lady principal, Mrs. A. M. Adams. It is not too much to say that while Mrs. Adams may have her equals as a teacher in her de partment, he needs to acknowledge no superior. We have also many undrr graduates faithfully discharging their duties in the! restitution as teachers, promising a success to themselves and to the world. - How tbis country baa advanced in education! Twenty years ago when we saw a young dum foodie picking his teeth in front of a hotel, we thought he owned all that square. Nowadays we reason that he doesn't own the coat on his back.

A Talk With One of grants. the ImmiNo Uore North Carolina for Olm. In our ramblings about the city las. Mondav. we were informed by a promi nent business man that he had met vritfin an aged immigrant in very destitute circumstances, who seemed to be anxious to ! get back to the Old North State againt .. ... ..... i , . Almost before tms miormation couia oe eiven. the seed immieruit put in an ap pearance, and we sought the opportunity ..... .. tt! T) : ..J lor an inierview. ins name is wuu Herring, and he came to this city about three weeks ago from Lenoir county, N. Carolina. By reading the interview which followed an introduction to him, it will be seen that he is not eo anxious to return to his former home aa we expected to find him. He it a man of considerable intelligence, and no one conversing with him would doubt tne trutiduiness oi nis Maiementa. We begun our interview by asking: Why did you leave North Carolina? "Well. sir. we left North Carolina on ac count of bad treatment received at the hands of the white folks." In what way. were you badly treated? "Thev wroneed us in every way. The highest wages paid for labor was forty cts a day, and laborers must board themselves This amount was seldom paid in money, but orders on the store were given. The store man alwavs overcharged for his roods, and we could save nothing." were vou allowed tne iree exercise oi your political rights; to spak and vote as Toumeueui - .. gif We aiwaya votea the RepubHcan ticket when allowed to vote at all. Sometimes, at elections, they would not accept ft cket middle.aged men and aavinz thev were too voune to vote: and semetimes they would take in tickets at the polls "and throw them away, telling us thev were no account ' Did the election authorities ever refuse to allow you to cast your vote? "They thought I was too much bent over to count me out on account of ge, and I am always very quiet on election day." I understand that you can find no employment, and want to go hack to North Carolina. Is this true? I have an engagement to chop wood for a man who lives twelve miles in the countrv. at 7o cts. per cord. I never ex pect -to go back to ortn Carolina, l would rather starve in Indiana than to cro back." - l . u that vou are about out o moneVf anj mURt soon depend upon charity. "Well, I nav'nt got anymore money than I need, but I guess I can get along. have put my little pile away, ana i go and iook at ,t and let it alone." in wnat condition are tne schools in North Carolina? 'The schools don't amount to much. The teachers don't know much more than us old fellows. When the Republicans m q KOod wae, and consequently good teachers could be hired; but since the Democrats have captured the State, enough money is not paid to secure good teachers." How does it happen that so many are co:iiine to Indiana in mid-winter? Well, you see we got a little money for our work on small crops in the fall, and we were afraid to wait till spring for fear we could not get money enough to come away." How much did it cost you to get here? "It cost me $65 for myself and family?" How did you raise that sum. "We have been organized for two or three years, and have been saving up money all the time for this purpose." Do you intend to make this State your home? "I don't know; I will stay here till hpring, and I may go to Kansas then. I would go now, but as many of our people have already gone there, I am afraid I could not find work. Many people make drug shops of their stomachs, in the attempt to relieve a simple attack of liver complaints, when with a dose or two of Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil, the complaint might be eaäily and pleasantly obviated.

'Tis now that the young men will foot the street, whde the ladies foot tbe bills. . ; Famed JUphi passed through Vincenne on his way home from the State Teachers' Convention last Friday evening. Ue stated that he had alto made a visit to his father's in the country. To confirm his statement, were bis boots covered with

mud, and his pants rolled up so high as to remind one of the days of Geonre Washington, in the days of "knee breeches." All told, he looked like a Spartan just from the arena. Non Du in was severely scolded because of the non appearance of the Leader two weeks ago, but now that the holiday mania has passed, we have settled down to do

The first for angels, the afct for wounded man. The "exodus" from Terre Haute was composed of some of the elite of (said) city, viz: Mary Woodson and Miss Maria A.

Czar was "pumped" by Hindu, when he put into N. D.'s mouth such elegant rhetoric. Now boys, remember that there are glass-houses, and each one of you is a tenant, if you should awake in the morning and find the gentle dews of the constellated company pouring down through a rent made by some unknown hand, don't wonder; for the guilty always drift into the handsof justice. Non DrM. Stolen fruits may be sweetest, but when a boy finds himself in an apple tree with a dog at the fiot, he discovers that the apples are sour.
