In the cities of that section, those of them who have been compelled by necessity to assume tho profession of

boot-blacking, steadfastly refuse to "shine 'em up, sir," for a negro under any circumstances. They will go hungry and steal rather than do so. There is nothing, you know, like adherenco to a principlo with such men as Bob Toombs and his kind.

Register Bruce is in receipt of dispatches from Mississippi to the effect that tho Republicans and Greenbackcrs have failed to agree upon a ticket, and therefore there will.probably bono opposition to the Bourbon ticket.

Anderson, of Hamlton, O., the veteran anti-slavery airitator of a quarter of a century ago, and an earnest, straight-forward, ife-long Kcpublican, is an applicant for the mission to Ilayti in tho event of a vacancy. Should Hon. J. MLangston no longer desire to represent our Government in Hayti, we do not think that President Garfield could appoint any gentleman to fill the vacancy that would give any more genuine satisfaction to the colored people all over the country, and who would more ably discharge his duties, than Alfred J. Anderson. i . , IiKTlIKL, CIIÜKCH IN DANOEK. Wc desiro to call the attention of the colored people of Indianapolis to tho fact that Bethel Church property on Vermont street is in danger of being lost. As many are aware, the Church was sold the 24th of last July for a debt of 84,8GH. The purchaser under the mortgage gave tho Church authorities one year in which to redeem the property, and as that time has nearly expired, it is plainly apparent to all that something must bo done, and that speedily, too, if the property is saved. Now, it would be shameful and almost disgraceful lor the colored people of this city to allow the Church to be lost for tho debt which now hangs upon it. AVc do not speak only to tho membership and congregation of Bethel, but to all the colord people of this city. The Church is in a measure common property to all, and as Andrew Jackson said to Stephan A. Douglas, all shouli put their shoulders to the wheel, pray God for success, and push forward. Tho amount necessary to be raised by July 2t, in order to savo the property, is $3,235.56. Everybody should do something for Bethel. It should not be published to tho world that such valuable property should bo lost to our people by neglect and inactivity. Let us all go to work and do what we can to save Bethel. Dr. John Wilson, in his "Health and Health Resorts," remarks of alcoholic drinks as fctimulants: "They are. as a rule, the most palatable; they impart gentle Btimulation. and arouse the witnetic nature as no other carbonaceous matter does. I confess that they are open to tho objection of endan gering the formation ot habits of intemperance, but in advanced cases of phthisis I have rarely known this to bo tho case, and I am convinced that I have seen at least manv davs added to tho lives of feiich in valids by the use of these beverages without this evil conseouence. Bv a wise law of nature, that which subserves a needful Pur pose rarely demoralizes, if Indulged in under stress of necessity, and in cases of the rapid disintegration it would seem that toxic effect of the alcohol is more or less lost in the process of combustion, in which its carbonaceous principle plays bo import ant a pan.

During last week occurred the most memorable and best commencement that AVilberforce University ever experienced. Aside from the immense crowd of friends, the large attendance of the bisheps and the presence of so many renowned men, there are many features which tend to make these exercises not only of interest to the colored people in Ohio, but also to make them an event of history. Properly speaking the Commencement began on Sunday, a week ago, with the Baccalaureate sermon of President B. F. Lee. The subject of this jr.ost excellent sermon was "The sum of human duty.'' and it was based upon Ecclasiastes xii, 13. Separating tfris into three or fourtopic3he discoursed tellinglvand feelingly of tbo "Obligation of man to'Ciod," "The fear of God" and "Our duty to each other is given in love." Delivered a it -was before a large and appreciative audience, it can be honed that the many high moral lesSons contained in it, . . a. . Ä -. . may not oe vain in eueci. me emiio uay the "Annual Sermon" was preached by Bishop D. A. Payne, formerly president of the University. On Wednesday occured the Class Day Exercises and tbo Annual Rhetoiical and Pri.e Contests. Next to the graduatiag exercieps, those of Class Day stand out preeminently U't. "The Salutatory" by .Miss A. II. Jones and tho essay, "Deacon Lights' by .Miss A. E. Dugget, were very fine. The "Class History,'' by fi. S.

Un 1 hursday came the day for the graduation of the class of '81, consisting of fivo young men and two young ladies. The subjects ot their orations are p.3 follows: "Progress,'' D. M. Ashby, Fleming-jburg, JCy.; ''The Demands of the Age" V. W. Jones, lroy, it.; "intellectual Culture," J. A. Dodson, Ilarveysburcr. O.; ''Build lour Own Monuments," Miis A. II. Jones, Troy, O.; Oration and Valedictory SStndy of Nature," E. S. Clarke, Wilberforce, Ohio. After the viledictory, President Lee conferred the diplomas upon the graduates with appropriate and kind admonitions and wishes as to their future. Then the diploma conferring the title of Master of Arts, was given to Prof. S. T. Mitchell, formerly a student of tho University, who has by incessant study since his graduation, won and merited- the bestowal of such title. Last Friday night the Gaines' high school sent out into the world nine young ladies and two young men the Class of '81.

In his address, Mr. Hawkins tendered tne ser. vice m the name oi the ' Class ot '01 as a token of its highest esteem for him as a teacher and also wished that his future would be surrounded by a halo of happinoss, fully equal in brightness to that of the service. Mr. Clark, who knew nothing at all of tho presentation, and who had imagined the present as ono of some of tho graduates, wa3 totally overcome and surprised, and was only able to return bis thanks and high appreciation of the gift in a few broken sen tences.
