InrerEstING EXERCISES LAST WVepnespay Evenrne. The Association was entertain? ed on last Wednesday by the tal- ented and scholarly L, W. Pulies on the future of the Negro. The meeting wus called to order by the President, Mr. W. Calvin Chase. A few extracts from Mr. Pulies paper will, no doubt, be in tere-ting reading to the patrons of the Bez. Public opinion, based upon false reasoning and assumption is hos- tile to the Negro. Itis a badly diseased conditicn and must be re- stored to a normal condition This must be attained by agitating the question of human rights. The vital principle, the science of Guvernment is to secure to each individual life, liber:y and the pursuit of happiness. Tne Constitution guarantees aud secures to each citizen tue full enjoyment of those rights by which he consents to be governed. The Negro aud_ his descendants are as fuily comp chended and covered in these rights under the Declaration by the Constitu- tion, and by the laws, as are ci zens of any other racc; and the Government is as legally and morally obligated to protect and defend him in the enjoyment of these rights as it is bound to any other class of citizens acknowledg- ing allegiance. With malice, ha- tred and resentment, a minority of white men, bid defiance to the authority of the Government, trample the law under foot and 1 — that the Negro sball not njoy these malaienable rights; and by crime and fraud consum- mate their purpose. Normally the ) egro is made the scapegoat. But the principles in- volved overshadow him individ- ually and asa clazs, It at once becomes & question of National importance, It etrikes at the corner stoue of the Government, viz; the untrammeled expression ot the popular will, It resurrects issues that were slain and buried at Appoomattox, an@ practically questions whether popular Gov- ernmant is not a failure. The Nation is slowly but surely drifting to a criss which may be- come a catastropha which can only be averted by a resolute, un- ftinching determination on the part of the Government to uphold the majesty of the law in every section of the country. The permancy of a Republican form of Government, the life of the Nation, depends upon the su premucy of the organic law in ev- ery se-tion of the country. There can be but one interpretation and a uniform application of the Jaws to all classes of citizeis throughout the length and breadth of the land. llerein lies good Govern- ment; and where the application of that priecipal fails, the govern-~ ment fails. ‘The exigencies of the situation are imperative that the travesty upon justice, upon the suffrage of the people, this stifting of the vor populi _must cease Therein is the great danger to the permanency of our Republican Institutions and not in Negro domination, or any other ill-dis— guised pretext for disloyalty, law- ie-sness and crime, As a means to secure our po- litieal and civil rights, and a per-~ fect equality before the law, there must be intelligent, road thor- onga organization; unity of pur- pose and action, backed by the highest, best ard noblest aspira- tious and impulses, Among those who discussed the paper were lawyer T. R. Holmes, J J. Johnson, Rev. Cowles and others. The discussion was very lively and interesting. See - BISHOP TURNER UPON THE DEATH OF HIS WIFE. From the Christian Recorder. Mr. Eprror:— ‘three months to-day, Oct., 19, my wife, my coun- selor, my staff, my prop, wy light, my angel, my cherub, usually call- ed “Hun,” threw off all that was mortal and mounted the skies to await the arrival of those for whom she lived aud labored. It has been the darkest three months Lever passed through. Had God answered prayers, I too, would have been numbered with the dead, for life to me has been a blank, a void, a deception, a cheat, a cheerless gloom, when viewed from the light of nature. True, when I would turn to God’s Word and read the promises of Holy Writ, a gleam of lustre would throw a gloriole around the sombre chambers of the tomb, and for a short time the emotions of hope and faith would chase every melan- choly sensation away. But when frail nature attempted to reason out and phislosophise upon the problem of death, horor or horors confronted me at every step. Nev- er before bas the impetency ot philosophy, science, mathematics and all that constitutes human learning, being so visible, so pat- ent and so transparent. I baye siudied some English, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, German and a bit of Spanish, read the history of the world, especially its ancient histo- ty. Ihave studied some astrono- my, geology, anotomy, physiology, chemistry, psyphschology, law, in tellectual moral and natual philoso phy. Ihave niobled more or less at almost every thing in the broad scope of pantology and for the last three years have been trying to overthrow, the gravitational theory of Sir Isaac Newton, and have) been studying to show that the un- iverse is run by positive and neg? tive electricity, and therefure that) the possible exhaustion of the sun’s | light and heatis a myth and that) the sun will constitate the heaven | of all the inhabitants of the solar | system. | Bat I am now prepared as ever | before, to say that the man who | ‘as faity in God, believes the Bible, relies upon its promises and takes | God at his word, is the giant of} earth. He is worth more than all! the theorists and all that the world | calls learned, for they are all dumb at the mouth of the tomb. The) tongue ot the Bible can only ney heard at the grave. | When my wife was dying laid) prostate ou the floor and from the depth of my writing and anguished | heart 1 invoked beaven and earth | for a word of comfort, bat none} came, save, “I am the resurrection | and the life, saith the Lord,” or “| have the keys of death and hell,” | | Mr. or, Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord” or “I saw the dead small and great stand before God,” or ‘Death and hell delivered up their dead,” and other kindred pas- sages of God’s word. But when Rev. R. A. Hall, P. E., preached that masterly funeral sermon which is now being printed in mem- ory ot my wife, and which will be a model sermon of the kind for a a generation to come, with supple- mentary remarks by Rev. S. H. Robertson, P. E., and ©. L. Brad- well. I noticed that the Bible on- ly farnished them with such weap~ ons as stripped death of its terror and made the monster the messen- ger of heaven. How often since, however, bas my heart sung with- in me anc frail nature staggered beneath the load and tears would rush to my eyes, while my heart would almost burst. I bave ex- claimed Without due consideration a thousand times: O Lord, why treat meso cruel! But in an instant it would come to me hke a flash: millions of wives have died before mine was born. Tears encagh have been shed by the stroke of death to overflow the banks of the Mississippi river, Bones enough has been unfieshed by death to vie with the Rocky Mountains were they thrown in a heap. While I never expect to look at my wife’s likness without weeping, nor do I care if I cannot, for her virtues and graces were worth a thousand years weep. And if I chose to take an occasional cry, thank God, it is nobody’s business but mine. I can cry as much as | please, and I bless God that I can weep tears by streams. If I had eyes that could not weep, I would regard myself a brate. It is manly, honorable and gallant to ery for a good wife. A man who is too mean-hearted to weep for his wife, isa dog, and if he ever at- tempts to court another woman he ought to be hung. IfI werea woman and a widower were to request my company to church, before I consented to walk with him, I should ask him if he wept for a month wheu his wife died, and if he said no, I should say, begone, sir. Yet, I ought not complain. We were married thirty-three years, she sixteen and I avout twenty-two years of age. While she was small (never weighing a handred pounds in her life, most of the time eighty- seven) she was nevertheless a pow er in spirit and influence. { shall conclude this letter by saying that I refrain from writing up to this time (since the sad event) because I had no heart for such work. I shall, however, con; tribute my puragraphical notes occasionally, as I am urged to do so,-both by the editor and others. Still I know Lam to busy to bother with them. But if your readers wish my offthrown thoughts, I will give them at intervals, however crudely they may he hurled off. It is useless to stop work because I am a mourner, for I will be a mourner as long as I live. I shall never cease mourning the lost of that saintiy wife till I meet her on the other shore. God be with me till we meet again. A BANQUED BY THE WASH. ING ASSEMbLY.

THE GREATEST LIFE SAVING DEVICE. —-o J.S. Coorince’s Harness Attachment is the best thing of the kind ever put on the Market. It is so ar- ranged that any one can secure it to any harness, in three minutes, without cutting the same in any way, right out in the street. It canbe taken off the harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its former style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in hitching and unhitching as a horse_can_be at- tached to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds and extri- cated in less than 5 seconds. It is an ornament to the harness and contains nothing in its parts to get out of order, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is required. The Bolt is removable secured so as to allow the spring to be removed when worn. The particular advantage this device possesses over others consists in the con- structions of the case and arrangements of the straps, whereby the same maybe attached to any harness without cutting the same, as has heretofore been nec- cessary in order touse devices of this character. To the loop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, said lines being connected with the driver by suitable means, so that if the horse runs or becomes unman- ageable, the tightening wf the lines will draw the bolt 12, and the spring 24 will cast the plate 16 aside and release the animal from the vehicle. Any woman or child can hitch or unhitch a horse without the slight- est trouble. used every day. 1839. HOWARD UNIVERSITY. ashington, D.C.
