The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle has gotten up a cock and bull story to the effect that Frederick Douglass had no Negro blood in his veins. Some Mrs. Dale, who is represented as a "great champion of the Negro race," claims that Douglass confessed to her that he was "a white and Indian half-breed." The Chronicle continues: "This will astonish those people who have been for years admiring him as an illustrious member of the Ethiopian race and who have presumably erected a monument to him chiefly in that character. These people are evidently the victims of misplaced confidence. The peculiar talents of Douglass, therefore, came from white and Indian blood, if Mrs. Dale is to be believed, and the Negro is "not in it." The children he had by a woman of Negro blood, his first wife, return to obscurity. His second wife, a white woman, was childless. It is strange that Douglass never made this revela- tion while he was in active life and waited until he was about to die to make a clean breast of it. Perhaps, had he told the fact, as Mrs. Dale now does, he would have lost caste with the Negroes and been at a discount politically with the white abolitionists. But the truth of history has been vindicated again and we are curious to see how the old abolitionists and the Afro-American brethren will take it. Will they assail Mrs. Dale's veracity, or will they complain of being buncoed? On the Douglass monument a new inscription might be carved: 'Frederick Douglass had been a slave and championed abolition, but he did not have a drop of Negro blood in his veins.' As Douglass attributed his mental gifts to his mother, a half-breed Indian, it would seem that the aboriginal red man and not the black is entitled to all the honors of his production, as the white ancestors would probably surrender their claims and give poor 'Lo' the right of way.' It is very strange that this absurd story has just come to light five years after Douglass' death. There is no reason to believe that Douglass ever said any such thing. Anyone who ever saw the great Douglass knows that the African imprint was on him in complexion and hair, which was inclined to be crisp and kinky. No child of Caucasian and Indian parents was ever born with hair like Douglass', which was a perfect bush about his head. It is too late in the day for the Chronicle to attempt to bellittle Douglass' attainments and attribute them to his white and Indian blood. Douglass always acknowledged his Negro blood and was the champion of the Negro race. Leaving Douglass out of the question, THE APPEAL will, for the benefit of the Chronicle, and some of its Southern contemporaries, name some famous men of pure Negro ancestry. Dr. J. C. Price, president of Livingston College, Salisbury, N. C., was, by many, considered superior to Douglass as an orator. Dr. Price was a pure black, and had not one drop of Caucasian blood. Dr. Edward W. Blyden, the great linguist of the race, and president of Liberia College, is a pure African Negro, yet he speaks forty languages and is an author of recognized ability. Richard Allen, the founder and first bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and a preacher of power, was of pure Negro ancestry. Rev. Alexander Crummell, the great Episcopal rector, of Washington, and author of many books, was of pure Negro blood. Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the greatest poet of the race, is a pure Negro. Rev. Henry Highland Barnett, the eloquent Baptist preacher, writer of ability, and United States minister to Liberia at the time of his death, was a pure Negro. Lawyer T. McCants Stewart, author of several books, and now the attorney of a syndicate in Hawaii representing many millions of dollars, is a pure Negro. D. Augustus Straker, a Detroit lawyer, and formerly judge of one of the courts, and also author of several legal works, is a pure Negro. Martin R. Delaney, who was a commission officer in the war of the rebellion, and the author of a number of books, boasted that not a drop of Caucasian blood flowed in his veins. Toussaint L'Ouverture, who whipped the great Napoleon's army and liberated Haiti from the white man's rule, was a pure Negro. Phillis Wheatley, the greatest poetess of the race, was a pure Negress. Benjamin Banneker, the great astronomer, was a pure Negro. THE APPEAL could name a number of others of pure Negro blood who have become famous, but the list is sufficiently long to prove that persons of pure Negro blood have left their impress upon the annals of the world. Gilt Wall Paper: THE APREAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER The Doom of Sing Low. Twenty years ago Sing Low had been a thin, meek Chinese colohe, tolling in the rice fields of the Soo-Chow province. Insufficient clad and insufficient fed, Sing Low had been a poor man, and but for the vows of his society society forbidding would have put a summary end to it—a double quantity of opium in the pipe is an easy way! But Sing Low had persevered and starved until he was able to exodus of many of his own society from the "silver Land") to the western coast of Mexico. With them journeyed Sing Low and his newly married wife, Fay Lee, for there was demand for Chinese medicine that the promoters told it loudly that they made a "silver land." For once the truth had been spoken by a promoter! Had you ten years after the exodus known the Chinatown of Madre de Dios, the restaurant and "tea place" of Sing Low you would have known the fact. For the Chinese colonists had made unto themselves a place of their own in the western part of the city, out beyond the marshes; and with the shops of the Chinese, who were in larger colonists, but full fledged citizens. In the very center of the Chinese civilization, and fronting a view of lot, blue gulf water, Sling Low's name was blazed in gaudy Chinese script over a tea cup and opium dum, while uptown, where Mexicans mined many most dCi congregate, another low adobe and pine boards, bore the legend: Chinese Restaurant of Sing in front of this restaurant generally sat Sling Low, not the Sing Low of the Soo-Chow rice fields—far from it. This was a very fay flow—fishing garmens, digital mats and about a sleek and shining head, and about a sleek and thrust into flapping embroidered slippers. can watch dangled from his sah, and yellow Mexican diamonds glittered on his surface, truly had Sling Low, head of the "Sons of Asia," disposed and waxed far in a far land. To all of which poor Fay Lee had to consent, of course. Sling Low being a husband of so small persuasive power, parental of so small persuasive power, stick. and he hesitated not to chastise the wife of his bosom when occasion Christians say: "Wives, obey your husbands in the Lord!" Not that it often became necessary to impress this latter woman with the way of many women, fat, pompous Sling Low now, in the midst of his prosperity, even as she had once loved humble Sling Low of the rice fields, the way of many women. And, though she was not a child, she children for her to caress with affection, she was content to live the life that her husband bade, embroidering his costly dress. And she were his bonded slave, instead of his wife. And during the long hours that he spent in the opium house or in the secret room, she conserved herself with many cups of tec. and admiring thoughts of the brave figure that her honorable love was at the head of his society. Poor Fay Lee! Flacidity, indigent, yet somewhat miserable. Fay Lee went back to her embrassment. Fay Lee incident did not seem of enough importance to repeat to her husband, and it should dare not seem of enough importance to repeat to her husband, and it should dare to tell such things of her most honorable and faithful lord, expectant wife, however, when very late that same night Sig Low came home, not alone, much more severe for liquor. He had brushed her hair, and she brushed her hair, he stated, with drunken dignity, and Fay Lee must wait upon her, and Fay Lee must wait upon her, and she (Fellup) was to be, the honorable mistress of the house, and Fay Lee must bearrants must bear themselves accordingly. Your Chinese wife is no creature of high tragedy, and Ray Lee acted under her guidance. Her nanny, the nice lady should, placing perfumed water and powders and silken apparel for the newborn, touched Sting Low, touched highlighter for them. And only when her services were no longer needed did the supplanted wife hate from the house of her husband. She had a cousin who was a high official and a secret society; to him she went. Not a secret society, Chiese wife if her husband wishes to take unto himself a No. 2 spouse, for it is according to the law. But all things are not so awvised. Lee of his intention. It was not the law of dignity and self-respect had been transgressed by Sing Low, who had not so realize. Lee of his intention. Her family, the cousin was not so realize. But butuins are not prison and be avenged vately; wherefore the cousin was Fay Lee said long, but bled their time, having in mind a way in which they could be more vicious. For quite a long time, as much as a month. Sing Low was exceedingly happy with his pretty young wife. She had such apprehension, and she had not married the pority old Chinaman for the sole purpose of embroidering his clothes and waiting on her foot—not a bit of it. And so she emphatically stated. On the contrary, she was not so aware of the boxes at the bull fights and the one small theater that Madre de Dios posed and had no intention of being any man's slave. And so began the tormenting of poor old Sing Low. He soon learned that in the early days of his career, he variegated tartar, and that, unless humored, she could and would make his life a torment to him. Therefore, like a wise woman, he would have morened her in all things—that is, in all things but one. Despite her every endeavor, she did not what went on at the meetings of his secret society. On that one subject alone sing Low met mute, and no caecility or blandness. As time went on, and the influence of his Mexican wife told on him, Sing Low began to sink lower and lower, both mortal now, and more and more of the "black smoke" apple of his eye, his restaurant, with its American ples, began to be neglected, and he got about, and more than one high official of the secret society murmured distrust. Meanwhile a worn and aged woman hardly to the degree of the waiter, eager for revenge. And in the secret society of the "Sons of the Silver Land" one of the high officials went about among them; and was among them; that important secrets had more than once been given away and that if not located and dealt with the traitor would soon accomplish the All this came to a head one night when the most important meeting of the year was held. For more than a century, the society built with an ominous quiet crowd of Chinamen, who were waiting in perfect stillness, to meet the first of whom had gone to fetch their erstwhile head, Sing Low. For the first time in twenty-one years, the society of the solemn, and more than that, all the private records and documents of the "Sons of the Silver Man," was perfect stillness in the secret rooms, and that over in the corner one Chinaman waited, holding a huge racer-edged knife, and that with quickely among Chinese guilds. They brought him in presently, the cousin and another society member carrying him, for the honorable head was taken, and the opposing arm was opium and bad cognac to walk of his own accord. He was dropped limply into the corner where the Chinaman and his cousin were sitting in the set of members the cousin showed the precious papers and records that he had just taken from Sing Lowe's lilac vest, and the Mexican part of the town, while the society papers and records—had access to by only two men, the cousin and Sing Lowe, the cantina floor, to be seen there by all who might care to read. And but for the cousin, who had found them in time, the papers would have been distributed far and wide, the sun, and the society, "Sons of the Silver Land," with all its important secrets, would have been ruined, and many of its members implicated in all sorts of criminal acts, the gallows. The sin, of Sing Low had been a tremendous one, for which no atonement could be made, and there was no punishment, far as his punishment was concerned. "Honorable judge, this man is dead!" Five minutes later the Chinamen were dragged, still on his knees, from the room, and dung into the narrow, weed-covered trench, to be berg mercy, but his hips were stiff and dumb. Then he had clung to the judge's knee, sabbaring hysterically, only to be dragged into a Chinamen lost to caste and his moaned begged at the feet of his cousin, but he, too, had passed relentlessly on, paying no attention to a dead man, and all gone among the crowd Sng Low' own clerks and employees—and the dead crouched, alone and deserted of all, in For two days the torture of Sing Low he kept into his own restaurant and he crept into his own restaurant and Blas, J.

From the Youth's Companion: According to the recent studies of Signor de Sanctis of Turin, children begin to dream before their fourth year, but are unable to recall dreams before the age of 4 or 5. This age, he concludes, is when a child first becomes distinctly conscious of self. Aged plea dream less frequently and less vividly than the young. Women's dreams are more frequent, more vivid and better remembered than those of men. Criminals and delinquents dream much less frequently and much less vividly than other people. Two-thirds of the most depraved criminals examined by Signor de Sanctis were never conscious of dreaming. This is ascribed to lack of mental activity. The healthiest spot in the world seems to be a little hamlet in France named Amone. There are only forty inhabitants, twenty-five of whom are nearly years of age, and one is over 100. The authorities in Algeria gave $40,-000 toward fighting the grasshoppers. In one section 3,200 camels were employed to carry the material for burning over the places where eggs had been deposited.

Quarterly meeting next Sunday, March 11th. Kendrick Clark was brought before the Municipal Court in company with two soldiers, charged with assault and battery, Wednesday. Clark says he was walking down the south side of Seventh street, when one of the group of four soldiers standing on the curbing sarcastically alluded to a rose he wore on the lapel of his coat. This Clark resented, and as the soldiers displayed a belligerent attitude, proceeded to knock down three of them, and a general row ensued, in which, from the evidence in the case, the soldiers got the worst of it. Judge Hine fined Clark $10 and the soldiers, E. E. Bartscher and William T. Kean, $5 each. The executive committee of the State League of Republican Clubs met at the Windsor Thursday to fix the date of the State convention and to arrange for the co-operation of the clubs of the State in entertaining visiting delegates to the national convention, to be held in St. Paul, June 17. President Wright said the State convention would undoubtedly be held on June 16, the day before the assembling of the National convention. Then the State convention would merge naturally into the National convention. Plans for strengthening the organization were also discussed. It is proposed to extend the organization to every voting precinct in the State, and to make every member of the organization a worker for Republican success. On Washington's Birthday Prof. Emil Onet, a music teacher, went into A. J. Bell's barber shop in the Albion and was waited upon by E. J. Brack, familiarly known as "Little Joe." By some means a small bit of lather got on the Prof. trousers, which he accused Brack of putting there. Brack denied the accusation and one word brought on another. Finally Brack blacked Onet's eye in good shape. He was arrested on a warrant sworn out by the Prof. and tried in the municipal court and was fined $10, though every one who knows the Prof. knows THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER him to be a very disagreeable man, and none were sorry he got his just deserts. Lawyer McGhee was Brack's attorney and fought for his client manfully. Brack got the worth of his money, however, in the satisfaction which is in his in teaching one man that it is not always safe to presume that Afro-Americans will not resent wrongs and insults when heaped upon them.

London is now faithfully going through its season of pantomime—not so brilliant, perhaps, and fresh, but it’s traditional and they must have it. Yet there are irrelevant critics who cry “chestnut.” The above, from the people’s comic weekly, Ally Sloper, is a sort of protest that the pantomime demon is played out, and really ought to go.

At the Grand Opera House, St. Paul. That famous musical comedy yclepied "The Telephone Girl" is announced for presentation at the Grand the coming week, preparations are being made to entertain a large audience and it is pretty shrewd guesses to say the management will not be disappointed. The play is something of a novelty and differs materially from the other "evil" shows. It goes with the swing that the public is fond of and leaves no room for ennui. The music is very bright and pretty and of the kind easily understood and whisked. Dave Lewis as Hans Nix, the PLENTY telephone Inspector, is the central figure and his German burlesque is extremely clever and kept up with unflagging spirit and zest. He is ably assisted by Miss Jessie Merriles, who is a versatile lit: lectres, a good singer and as chaming as she is veratile. The tipy scene in the second act is admirably done, piquant without being vulgar. Snuffles and Toots, James F. McDonald and Miss Nellie Douglass, are very clever in little scenes during two acts and McDonald's singing is far above the average as is also his dancing, which is exceedingly graceful and agile. The other roles are all in most capable hands. The costumes and solemnity are very fine and are the same that challenged admiration from the New York critics. As a production it takes rank with any enterpriss at present on the boards. WHAT A BLACK MAN **Saw in a White Man's Country.** The above is the title of a book which has just been published by Rev.

The fossil remains of a strange prehistoric animal were discovered at postmaster Nusbaum's ranch, at Teusque. Alphonso Dockweller, who has charge of digging a ditch through a ridge on the ranch, picked up a piece of petrified bone the shape of a large tongue, but with a row of 12 teeth along what seemed to be the tip of the tongue. He dug a little further and found the remainder of what seemed to be the jaw of an animal that was part ichthyosaur and part plesiosaur, with part of the characteristics of the other plesiosaurs. The jaw consisted of about 20 teeth, bone in the shape of a tongue, and each layer was armed with a dozen teeth, which showed that the animal was herbivorous and not carnivorous. These 20 layers were evidently the upper jaw of the animal. Mr. Dockweller expects to find the lower jaw and perhaps all of the remains of the strange animal. As much as he has found he will bring to this city, and from here ship it to the Smithsonian Washington. Two layers of the jaw were brought to the city by J. G. Schumann, shown to friends, who were all part of their unusual shape. It is well known that the surroundings of Santa Fe abound with the foundations of Santa Fe abound with the site of the city was covered by a sea. Only half a mile up the arroyo and canyon that branch off Palace avenue, near the old brewery, pretty petrified seashells are to be found. At many other places there are signs of the erosion of waves and the footprints of gigantic animals that probably lived their home both in the water and on the land when the highest peak of the Rocky mountain range were only islands in a vast ocean.-Santa Fe New American.
