The effort of the negroes of Fi¬

under the law in securing seats
for their children in the white

schools, and the trial of all the
other cases has been postponed.

that “by slow degrees the Ameri¬
can people are learning to distin¬
guish between a cyclone and a
tornado; but the difference is still
far from being generally observed
even by those great popular edu¬
cators the newspapers.” Perhaps
so, but when a ring tailed roarer
comes swooping down on a city,
chewing up buildings and killing
a score or two of people, it doesn't
make much difference to the vic¬
tims whether it is a cyclone or a
tornado. The effect is pretty
much the same.

since. Now he has cancelled the
$3,000 debt, has plenty of corn
meat and his land is in better
