Ga., July Ist, 1574. ‘Civil Rights’ in a Barber Shop. A Chattanooga letter to the Cincin nati Commercial tells the following: That was a good reply which a col ored barber in this city a del egation of colored men who called up on him for the purpose of claiming the right to be shaved “the same sis a white man.” “Sir,” said the spokes man of the delegation, “we demand the right to bo shaved here.” “It can’t be done.” answered the colored barber. Then tho spokesman came down with a pertinent thrust, saying, “Ain’t our money ns good as anybody's V ’ And the coloreu barber answered thus: “Yes, just as good, but there is not enough of it.” That covered the case exactly. It was n:i answer worthy of a philoso pher. Tho darkey’s money is as good as anybody’s to the barber, but tliero is not enough of it to compensate him for the loss of his white custom. Tho barber, in telling me this cir cumstance, “said: “I am a colored man, and have to work for a living, and the minute I commenced shaving darkeys that minute every one of my white customers would leave me. The biggest Radical in town would quit me just like the Democrats. I’ts con- 1 trary to the nature of a white man to want to mix that way w'th the negroes; and, what’s more, they won't do it. Yon can't get a white man in this town to shave in a shop where ne groes are shaved. I woul lu’t either, if I was them, and I'm not going to break up my business to accommodate a few swell-bead niggers who want to put on all the style of white men.” “Now, when colored men will not admit their colored brethern to tho enjoyment of equal rights in the bar ber shop, how are we to expect white men to do it ? Curious Calculation- There is somethin" wonderful in figures and numbers; when calculated, startle us by their immensity. We talk of millions and billions with lit tle thought of the vastness of the sums we name. The lips may utter the words glibly, but the understanding fails to grasp their real significance. Take our own national dabt as an il lustration. Everybody knows it is large, but few have ever stopped to consider its appalling magnitude. A few calculations will not, we trust, be uninteresting to our readers: Let us suppose that the national debt is, iu round numbers, $2,500,000. It an experienced cashier was to com mence counting this, at the rate of three silver dollars per second, and work dilligently eight hours per day, three hundred days in the year, it would take him about one hundred years to complete the count. If the silver dollars were placed side by side, touching each other, they would reach nearly three times round the word; they would pave a highway the width of Chicago’s streets more than two hundred miles in length. Fused into one solid mass of pure silver, they would make a column ten feet square and two thousand five hundred feet high, or a bar fifty miles long and one foot square. If each silver piece be estimated at one ounce in weight, and the money loaded inte carts containing one ton each, and driven one before the other, eaeh horse cart occupying two rods, the procession would exten 1 five hundred miles. Or consider that only one billion minutes have elapsed since the birth of Christ, and that if one dollar had been pui away each rniuute, day and night, since that event, the accumula tion would amount to but little more than one-third of the debt this nation now owes. If this calculation was ap plied to England or France, whose national debt is nearly twice as large as ours, the result would be still more startling.— Chicago Inter- Ocean.
