A Colored Centenarian. The Cincinnati Enquirer of a recent date

contains a short bvocrraphical sketch ot

Tabitha Short, better known as "Aunt

Tabby." an old cobred lady living at No.

100 West i lfth street, who ha3 grown up

with the republic from its earliest infancy. She was born in Griswold County Va., in

1777, making her 104 years old. She lived through all the dark days of slavery, most of the time in Kentucky, witnessed many of

the stirring scenes of the Revolution, saw

slavery crushed aid our country become truly great and free. ner history ia a

The Manager Have One Cod of Moral ror White People and Another lor Colored People. The Leader's exposure of the plan to displace the colored teachers in our schools, inaugurated by Superintendent Tarbell, Austin II. Brown and Dr. Carey, has merited and received the universal condemnation of the colored people, as well a the whites whose opinions are not formulated by that Srejudice against the colored man, which as supreme control of these school managers. The more this question has been agitated, the more dirt comes to the surface. If any person doubts that there is corruption in the management of our school, let him go among the cole red peoplo and learn something of some of the teachers appointed in their schools. One of the members of the teachers' committee told a reliable colored

man a few day6 ago that he would net consider a certain teacher in our fchool a fit person to teach a white school. As this teacher is teaching a colored sehe, we infer that he doe not consider it essential that the teacher of a colored echool should posEess the same moral and intellectual qualifications as the teacher of a white school. The Superintendent and these two members of the Board have placed themselves on record before the people, and the people will sooner or later select better men to manage our schools. Men who have one code of morals for colored people and a different code for white people, aro not the men to be at the head of our school system.

School Trouble in Pike Township. Mrs. Jones, a colored lady living near New Augusta, this county, was in tbo einlaßt Saturda' and feinted to n Leader reporter, a very aggravating case of discrimination a?ainst colored children by the

school authorities of Pike townsh

rears that in the locality where

live?, there are about ten colored cuihmiii ot school ago, wLoui lh3 school tiuthorities j deiro to exclude from the i-.ibiic rehool in f

the vicinity. Instead of Kte:!nr:g thi3

school, Mrs. Jones informs us that the township trustee, Mr. Jasper Guion. ha issued orders for the colored childi..u to alt ml school at an old building in the neighborhood as long as tbe weather will permit, and then finish next summer when the wai ni weather returns. As an additional annoyance, a teacher has been appointed to take charge of thi3 fair-weather bchool who has

never been examined for a certificate. As the case was one which evidently demanded the attention of the County Superintendent, we advised Mrs. Jones to call on that gentleman and state the case to him, and demand justice at his hands.

It would be impossible for me to describe how much

I have suffered, and I had abandoned all hope of ever being cured. I was, however, recommended to try Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and it has done me more good than the combined skill of all the physicians I have ever tried during my entire life."
