native child was very much afraid of the first white woman that he saw because she was "so ugly."
     Miss Gehrts asked the boy "Am I really and truly ugly?"
     "Really and truly you are, Miss," he replied with childish frankness. "But," he added, "You cannot help that, for the good God made you so, did He not? We cannot all be black and beautiful!"

     "No form of government can be based on systematic injustice. The election of Congressmen is a national not a local matter. If it be a race question, is there any reason why the white man in the south should have two votes to my one? Is he alone of mortals to eat his cake and have it too? Is he to suppress his Negro and have him also? Among all his remedies he has never proposed to surrender the representation which he owes to the very Negro whose vote he refuses. The Negro is human enough to be represented, but not human enough to have his vote counted" --THOMAS B. REED.
     "I have just forwarded an article in which you might be interested. It is about the manly effort of the Rev. Mr. J.B. Brandon of Edge Hill, Pa., to bring to justice a wealthy white man of that place who attempted to rape a respectable colored woman who is a member of Mr. Brandon's church. You can write to Rev. Mr. Brandon, Pastor Antioch Baptist Church, Edge Hill., Pa. The daily papers here are keeping the matter as still as possible."
