We have tried present methods and party prom- ises twenty years. A few of our people favorably. situated havo accumulated property and pro- gressed Incapacity; but the masses are in a state of Servility, bound hand and foot, denied the rights of citizens and deprived of the stimulants ani conditions of improvement To these the future is hopeless, The system of rents, high prices, low wages and credits keeps us always in debt and forever at the mercy of our masters, The ballot 13 a miserable farce. We are not allowed to acquire land, and when we undertake to settle upon the public state lands ag other citiz-ns we ere expelled, our money and propsrty are confiscated. Wecan only have peace by suppres fon aud subordination. ‘There 13 anoth«r reason why we should separate. Solong as the white man can depend upon the cheap labor of the black he will no more progress than under the slave system. The present rela- tion 13 a damage to both races. ‘The separation and formation of self-sustaining communittes will enhance the price of all common labor, black and white, and thus tend to equalize things. The best citizens are those who have homes of their own, and therefore a common in- terest, in the peace and good order of society.

At the hearing in the case of O'Donnell in the Bow-street police court, London, yesterday after- noon, Mr. Poland opened the case for the crown. He recounted the passage out on the steamer of the Carey family and O'Donnell and repeated the details of the murder. Mr, Poland said that O'Donnell’s assertion when he was arrested, that he acted tn self-defense, would be contradicted by the testimony of Carey's eldest son, who would swear that his father had no pistol. Mr. Sullivan, M. P., counsel for O'Donnell, com- plalned to the court’ that a solicitor hai been re- fused access to the prisoner. Mr. Flowers, the magistrate, allowed the prisoner to retire and con- sult with a solicitor. James Parish, a servant on the steamer Melrose, on which the crime was committed, and Thoinas Jones, the boatswain, who were eye-witnesses of the murder, then repeated the testimony that they gave before the court at Cape Town. A bullet found upon the floor of the cabin of the steamer and the pistol taken from O'Donnell were pro- duced and identified. Jones swore that O’Don- hell's Words to Mra.

A pair of shapely, white limbs, two prettily moutded arms, a sudden shoot through the air and asplash in the water that sent the spray flying in all directions. A moment later a laugh- ing, girlish face emerged from the water, anda | lithe, willowy form came partially into view. The doors of the little cabin-like dressing-rooms at the South Side Natatorium opened one after another at short intervals and a haifa seore or more of teminines of all shapes and sizes, from the coy maiden of twelve to the matronly-look- ing lady of thirty-five, came forth and mingled with a number of the sterner sex, who were dis- porting themselves in the water. It is rather an uncommon sight to see men and women in the bath at the same time and the custom is a new one at the natatorium, the first of the series of what are known as “social swims” having been inaugurated a week ago last night. Only gentlemen accompanied by ladies are allowed to enter the hall, ang with put few exceptions those who enter are pupils of the school and in most eases are acquainted with one another. Some of the young ladies were at first a little | Shy of entering the water before strangers and in the company of male companions, and upon leaving their dressing rooms looked dublously | at their rather scanty attire. When once in, | however. this teeling wore away, and those who were the most timid inthe start became the boldest before the clang ng of the big bell an- nounced the close of the lesson. There were all kinds of girls there—tall girls and short girls, | thin girls and little “‘sawed-off” girls as thick as they were long; lank, medium, pretty and homely. But the girl with a poor form had no business there, for once wet the thin bathing suits clung to the person as closely as a glove onthe hand. The ladies’ suits consisted of a short tunic and tight-fitting breeches of a length consistent with the modesty and beauty of the ‘mb ot the wearer. Some of the more auda- | cious young ladies would lounge carelessly | about the steps when exhausted with swim- ming, or mount the spring-boardand dive boldly and gracefully into the water. There was no constraint inthe bath and the sexes mingled freely, and, a8 all were well acquainted, enjoy- ing themselves hugely. | Everything was conducted ina proper man- ner and there was nothing that couid be called in the least improper or immodest. It was sim- ply a party of young ladies and gentlemen en- joying themselves as they would in the surf at any of the watering-places. The “socials” will be held every Monday evening and only scholars | will be admitted, with the exception of those who go upon special invitation. ~ see BIG OYSTER EATERS.
