Why Not A fro-American?. To the Editor of The Leader: Not much reflection is required to reveal that the epithets commonly applied to the colored mau are inappropriately and totally Bon-sub-versive of their purpose. In that they do not ethnologically show who he is. The Englishman comes from En ((land, Germans from Germany. Chinese from China, Italians from Italy, hut the ilored man," he is who. and from where! Surely his name sheds no light; hence inappropriate. Prior to the mineling of blood, superinduced by that institution so long a blot ou America's fair fame, these several appellations sufficed, but 10 not to-day. It should not be "Negro," as a journey to Africa's clime brings us in contact with a race called Negroes, but no blood of American citizens courses in their veins. "Colored roan" is indefinite, since other races can, with equal propriety, be so designated. Hence, the further use of these terms la not justified by these fart. We know the Immortal bard of Stratford-on-Avon, after inqniriu? what is in a name, has sai l a rose would smell as sweet by any other name, and we grant that the odoriferous onion wouid continue to bedew the cheek with eroeodile tears were It called a honeysuckle or tuberose. Yet we ho'd that a body of 5,000,000 of people should have a proper race-name, und hubinlt that Afrn-Ainericans Is the proper name for the sable, citizens of the United States of America. For the American traces his lineage from the Angles and Saxons, and calls himself Anglo-American. We trace our lineage from the Anglo-American and African races: we were born tn America; hence, wo are indisputably At'ro-Auiencans. Our solicitude is not engendered because we believe that a change of name will effect any physical changes a moral impossibility, and absurd conception. But we submit our reasons briefly: First Because, as I have shown, we are Afro-Ameiii-ans. Second An adiective may be derived from Afro-American, as Afro-Amcricau migration; while colored man migration is not admissable man must bo possessive, man's, to be grammatical. Third Because its (Afro-American) length is no objection when Scandinavian, South American, Australian, Asiatic Turk, etc., are used. Fourth We must, as do other races, insist upon a recognition ot our true pedigree. Fifth Because I believe that a name proclaiming us citizens of the New World, and indicating our geneobgy. will convinco even the wayfaring man that we are members of the great American nation, and will greatly contribute toward overthrowing the barrier of race and color caste which ia our bane us a people. Submitting these views to our readers, I am the Afro-American. E. J. Wakixo. Coi.CMnis Ohio. LOVED TOO LATE. CT MA KT A. nVKR. Year after year, with a glad contentf In and out uf our home he went In and out. Ever for us the skies were clear: His heart carried the care and fear. The care and doubt. Our hnnds held with a careless hold All i hat he won of honor and gold Iu toil and pain. O dear hands that our burdens bore Hands that shall toil for us no more. Never again! Oh , it was hard to learn our loss, Bearing dally the heavy cross The cross he bore: To say with, with an aching heart and head "wouid tw God that the Iavc now dead Were here once more!' For when the Love we held too light Was gone away from our speech and sight, No bitter tears, No pnasionate words of fond regret. No yearning grief, could pay the dept Of thankless years. Oh. now while the sweet Love lingers near, Grnde not the tender words of cheer: Leave none unsaid. For the heart can have no sadder fat Than some day to awake too Late , And find Ive dead! Harper's Weekly. clippings. One hundred and twenty miners were killed by au explosion in England, last week. An insane street preacher at Denver, enrazed because bis hearers were disrespectful, drew a liinfe and kil cd two of them. So terriide is the famiue in Kurdistan that hundreds of young girls have been sold for about api.-ee in order to buy food. An 1 man was swindled out of $300 by gaiiib'ef it an Illinois fair, and the loss grieved him si, much that he committed suicide. Tunneling Mout Blanc is a project which is engaging the serious attention of French engineers. The estim ated cost is $13,000,000. Secretary of War Ramsey says no action will be taken in the case of Cadet Whittaker for ten days or two weeks. Tlie question of granting Whittaker a court-mariial trial Is under comsiderat ion. William Nicholson, a deaf mute, aged about forty, walked on the tailroad track at Lyous Station, near I onnersvide. 1 lie preacher of tlie fun ral discourse made all tho comment that Is necessary. The reason why snow at ereat elevations does not melt, but remains permanent, is, ac cording to Nature, owing to the fact that tlie heat rel eeiveu iroui inesuu is uirown opinio sie.uar space so rapidly by radiation and reflection that tlie sun fails 10 raise the temperature of the snow to tu malting point. Tho summits of tlie Himalayas receive more than ten times enough heat to melt off all the snow, but the snow does not melt, ami . not with standing the sun's strength and the dryness of the air, evaporation is iusuilicieut to remove the snow. Inter-Occan: From the reports of our city columns it would appear that the colored woman Wort Inn gton, who, vithherboy, a Tad of 8 years. Is locked up at the Armory, Is held on no other authority than a postal-card, charging that she has stolen her own child. It would b interesting t know whether the itolice of Chicago are in ihe habit of arresting people ou tlie authority of postal-cards, even tl ough it be only colored women und children who are the victims of such wholly illegal ierform!ince. If such is the outrageously unlawful practice, it would be interesting to learu that it had been brought before the courts in such a way that the police might be taught some other authority than a postalcard is required for locking up even a friendless woman and child. A reporter of the Kansr.s City Journal was on the tram tdat carried Grant from Galena. While attempting to obtain a list of the persons on the traiu, he came to a short, thick-set man, who sat azhi2 pensively out of the window, with a cigar in his mouth. "Are yon one of the iuvited guests!" asked the reporter, tapping him on the shoulder. The man said he was. and kept on smoking. "From St. Joe or leaven wort hi" asked tho reporter, note-bok and pencil in hand. "I hnois;" replied the man, still smoking. "I'd have to trouble you for your name," persisted the reporter. "Grunt." said the man. still smoking. Initials, please!" asked the reporter. "Ii, es S. Grant," reidied the man. quietly. "Oli." faintly ejaculated tho reporter. And a strauge Hghtcame in his eyes. And he moved on. F tri 1 1 Between a Lizard and a Scorpion. Virginia City Enterprise. George Jennings, the well-known tailings sluice man of Sn-mile Canyon, describes a queer battle which he witnessed one day last wetk betweea a lizard end a scorpion. He says the lizard, a hl ick one about eight inches iu length, cum out of a pile of lumber, and his attention was first particularly attracted to it by seeing it bobbing it head np and down in au excited manner, occasionally creeping forward a foot or two. looking Iu the, direction in which the liznrl was crer pt ng, Mr. Jennings obseryed a scoioion. some four iucb.es in length, sitting upoua pile of moist sand that had a--cumulated near ic of tho sluice-boxes. Thinking the lizard meant to attack the scorpion, and being curious to see what would be the result of a battle Is! ween the pair, Mr. Jennings was careful to dn nothing that would disturb either. Tlie lizard moved quite near the scorpion, when it braicd itself up on its forefeet and began bobbing its head and bowing in a ludicrous and banier ng ' way. The scorpion crccteu its tail, winch it vibrated in a threatening maimer. The lizard circled round the scorpion, occasionally halting to bow at l.im. At length, however, the scorpion atcmrdrd to crawl away. The moment he began crawling ttie lizard darted upon him like a flash, and droit! seized him by the laet joint ot the t il tl.at which contains the poison-sack and at ihopwinlof which is situated tho sting. Hav

ing this hold of the Rconjion the lizard ww afe from its stins, out bad apparently no weans of doing any further damage. Presently the corpion twisted hims&tl about ami tried to get hold of the Jlaard with his claws, which are like the claws of a lobster or crawfish, whereupon the lizard shook him as a dog would shake a rat. This was repeated dozens of times, the lizard restiug after each shaking ontll the scorpion began to go for him with his nippers. The battle lasted over half an hour. At last the scorpion no longer showed tight and the lizard dragged him away into the lumber-pile. Mr. Jennings 8a3's he has been iu the country twenty years, has seen lizards daily by scores during t he summer months and scorpions very frequently, but never before saw a battle of the kiud, and never had the least idea that a lizard would attack a scorpion. Ex-Senator Christiancy's Son. New York Times. A young man, who said his name was John II. Chritjtiancy, was committed to the King County Inebriates' Homo, on Saturday, by Justice Bloom, of Brooklyn, under peculiar circumstances. He went to the Justice in the morning, giving his name as above, and said he was a lawyer and a son of ex-Senator Christiancy, of Michigan, now United States minister to Peru, showing letters to confirm his statement. During a long conversation with Justice Bloom young Christiancy declared that the liking for strong drink had obtained such a mastery over him that he was compelled to ask the Justice) to send him to the Inebriates' Home until hi3 taste could be cured. He said he had once got himself committed to a similar institution in Btnghamton, and once in Philadelphia. , He had not been long in Brooklyn, and was boarding at a lodging-house on Main street, and was without friends or money. He thought his father would pay his board in the Home, if ho was told his couditioo. It was then arranged that one of the court officers should swear out a warrant charging Christiancy, "on information anil belief," with beiug an habitual drunkard, and Justice Elooui then committed him to the Hntue for six mrnths Christiancy then started for the Home to deliver his commitment in person.
