Successful Colored Man.
Enrrcirv:'—Whilst reading a sketch
of some of the wealthy colored men, it re
minded me of the wonderful achievements
some men were able to accomplish under
adverse circumstances.
In 1835 Stephen Smith had accumulated
considerable property and was doing a large
lumbering business at Columbia, which
fact is supposed to have excited the envy
or hatred of those not so prosperous and of
the ruling race. Some person or persons,
on a certain night in that year, broke into
his offmo and destroyed all his papers and
books. On the morning following the com
munity was terribly excited against the
blacks, which was taken advantage of by a
few men who led a mob to drive every col
ored family from the town, and they fled
in terror for safety to the adjoining hills and
country. While they were absent, the mob
destroyed a largo amount of property.
Smith removed to Philadelphia, and was
successful in his undertakings. (William
Whipper was placed in charge of his busi
ness here.) He purchased " Pennsylvania
Hall," which was burned down, I think,
in 1838 or 39. He brought suit against and
recovered from the city of Philadelphia
675,000 damages, which was in excess of the
cost of the building by several thousand
dollars.
100 P. M.
William Whipper became a partner of
Smith and made'monoy. In 1850, after the
passage of the fugitive slave law, the color
ed men were again perseen!ed to such an
extent that many thousands of them in
Pennsylvania fled to Canada and other
places for safety. Feeling that ho would
some day have to leave Columbia, if the
then hatred to the negro continued, he went
to Canada and purchased largo tracts of
land, at Chatham, bordering on the lake, at
a few dollars per acre, which is now valued
at three hundred thousand dollars, and is
yielding a large revenue. Both of these
- gentleman are le - Luling a 'retired life;in Phil
adelphia. Tho latter is educatad and a man
of some literary attainments. Some years
ago a Democrat wrote for the Columbia SPY
a series of articles, in which the author en
deavored to prove the inferiority of the col
orea race, and was replied to with ability
and spirit by an anonymous correspondent. '
You can easily imagine tho chagrin of the
Democrat, some months later, when ho dis
covered he was worsted by William Whip
per, a colored man. S. E.
At a stated meeting of the Sunday School
Teachers of the E. E. Lutheran church, of
this place, held on the above clay and date,
the following preamble and resolutions
were unanimously adopted :
Whereas, at a meeting of the Teachers
Association held Dec. 15th, 1869, Brother
W. EL Steck tendered his resignation us
Superintendent of this school, and Presi
dent of the Teach( rs'Association,and where
as it becomes our painful necessity to re
ceive the same, therefore be it
Resolved, That we accept Brother Stock's
resignation, and tender our heartfelt grati
tude to him for his patient labor among us,
and for the faithful and efficient manner in
which he has discharged the duties of his
offices,
Resolved, That by cherishing the ehris
tian lessons he has taught us, by the more
discharge of our duties, we will en
deavor to prove our gratitude for all his
kindness.
Resolved, That though we shall miss his
prsence, hear his voice no more in our
midst, yet we shall love him none the less,
and in the sublime faith he has taught us
we can say go, go to a wider field, a larger
labor and a more glorious reward.
Resolved, That to every Sunday School
scholar, to every Sunday School teacher,
and to every christian heart in his new field
of labor, we most earnestly commend our
Brother, saying, "take care of him for he
was our. friend, and is our Master's devoted
servan t."
Resolved, that the above resolutions be
entered on the minutes of the Teachers' As-
sociatlon, and a copy be furnished Brother
Steck, and that they he published in the
" Lutheran Observer," and " American
Lutheran."

TUE TonAcco CROP AGAlN.—Since the
article in our last upon this subject, several
circumstances have transpired which go far
to prove that the present disposition of our
people to hold the tobacco crops is impoli
tic and the source of much trouble. Early
in the week several agents from New York
canto here with the express design of buy
ing up the crop. They tried to buy of the
farmers of Manor and other townships near
Columbia, but finding that they invariably
asked too much—prices ranging front 20 to
40 cent; a pound—left for the west. With
gold down they can not possibly buy at
present asking prices. We apprehend an
unfavorable issue out of this tendency to
hold on.
Some of the largest business firms in Co
lumbia have book accounts standing against
fartners—men who are able and competent
to meet their engagements promptly in or
dinary times—who defer settlement until
they realize money from the sale of their
tobacco crop. These accounts -are good
enough, but can not,ba settled till, dhis im
mense crop is sold, and removed and the
purchase money paid. Our merchants are
in turn cramped in their business engage
ments, and this again affects the trade of
large cities. To relieve this, let our farmers
sell at living prices, discharge their obliga
tions here, enable our merchants to adjust
their accounts in the citles,and at least coo
tributo a small quota towards inducing ml
easier money market.
naliftERSTOWN.—The social hop at Mr.
Burkhart's on L.st Saturday evening well
deserves the Lame, for all wham your cor
respondent conversed with expressed them
selves highly delighted. Several days ago
Mr. Seyster, of the firm of Secrist S Seys
ter, of Illinois, arrived in our place with an
improved hay elevator ; it is one of the best
implements of the kind, and is. receiving
the commendation of many of our citizens
"who aroruhle to judge of its good qualities.
On last Suday evening while Mr. Martin
Seheaffer was on a visit to Mr. Myers'
in this place, his horse became unman
ageable and ran away, making pieces of his
buggy. It presented a horrid spectacle to
'those who saw it. On Monday evenitur last
the Woodworth sisters, of Cleveland, Ohio,
were here, and we had the pleasure of being
favored with a concert by them. It was
hold in the Seconnary School building.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather, the Sisters had a crowded house
and all were well pleased during the whole
of the evening's entertainment. G.tsrEn.

Mn. EDITOR have no theatre in

The ten logged cow and the four logged

Council. No constitution, however strong,
could stand the wear and tear of trying to
get anti improvement men to go ahead.
The windows near the Council room rattle
during their session from speaking?—No,
indeed—but from the snoring of the sleep
ers. How do they take care of the Borough
interests?—they do nothing. Is there a
crossing this day in Manheim fit to be used,
except where neighbors run out every half
hour to scrape and hoe it off ? Every now

. from their sleep, and with a howl will rush
on some poor man whose pavement is not
level, and who is too poor to what they call
"stand law."
Why did toe American Mechanics,whose
motto is "improvement," accept one.half
of the bill which they incurred in fitting up
the Council room? It was only because
they knew they were dealing with men who
do things by halves. Mho can tell which
way the water should 2,un from our streets?
At how many corners do we have duck
ponds after every rain ? Why, are not our
streets piked? which co uld be done with
very little if any increase'on our present
taxes. Do they say that this borough can
not borrow $30,000. payable in twenty y ears.
If we can not do so, who has hurt our credit?
Is it the improvement men, who build, re
new and bolster up our borough ? Citizens
of Manheim, let thorn bean end to this leth
argy. Call a town meeting. Let us raise
the means, employ our working classes,
pike the streets, attract capital, and the
Manheim of five yefirs hence will be as a '

LADIES.—Our firemen aro as generous as
they are brave. It is not often that we see
our genial friends, Win. S. Mullen and T.
T. Wright among the ladies. They were
among them, however, on last Tuesday
evening, and this was the way in which it
was brought about. Will and Tom are
both very active and useful members of the
Columbia Steam Fire Engine and Hose
Company. The company having, during
the late holiday season, held a very success
ful fair, in spite of many adverse cireum
stances,resolved upon tasking a substantial
acknowledgement of the obligations they
were under to the ladics,who had so cheer
fully aided them in their labors. A corn
mitt. oof arrangements was therefore ap
pointed to have a first-class oyster supper
prepared for theta. Will. and Tom were
partspf thattcoMmittee. Mrs: C. CiHlch
ards was engaged to furnish the repast, and
she prepared it in a way highly gratifying
to all who had the happy privilege of par
taking of it. Every thing was ready on
last Tuesday evening, and at a quarter past
eight, under the direction of Will and Tom,
the opening exercises begun. Twenty-eight
ladies, "some younger some older," did
ample justice to the oysters, oranges, rai
sins, almonds and secrets. The latter af
forded the unmarried ladies excellent op
portunities for complimenting Will, and
the married for giving him excellent bits of
advice. Almost two hours had been spent
around the festive board, when the assem
bled fair-ones separated—their eyes spark

praise. We feel sure the "Columbia boys"
will never 1)0 forgotten.

a
resolutions were unnimously adtiptedfeff*
Rusor.vnv, That the public mind has
been misled by Arr. Wells in regard to the
profits on pig iron ; that Cho present tariff
although ample with gold at Lid, is insuffi
cient protection as the premium (learns,
and at the present prices of coal, railroad
freights and labor, we must look forward
to being compelled to blow out our furnace.
in case of any reduction• of the present do
ties on pig iron, old rails, and scrap iron, or
further loss by the incidental protection
afforded by the premium on gold.
RESOLVED. FURTHER., 'That the i
Committee of this Association forward at
once petitions to Congress, requesting that
the present duties be raised one dollar per
ton on bar iron, and three dollars per ton
on rails, scrap, boiler iron, and all other
descriptions of manufactured iron, and that
a direct tax be imposed of one dollar per
ton on all pig, bars, rails, plates, and other
descriptions of iron manufactured in this
country, to compensate fir the loss of rove

Rev. S. H. C. Smith will deliver a course
of lectures in the Methodist church. From
the character of the subjects announced, we
may anticipate a good time. Those modest
you ng ludies,and gentlein an ,who "are afraid
the fatal step to take," will learn to dispel
the terrors of the matrimonial noose, by
taking the right step in the beginning. All
young men in search of wives (and where
is there one who don't search?) should at
tend the course especially the tirst lecture.
" The young ladles chosing a husband or
companion" (we know several such) will
certainly attend the second lecture. The
subject of the whole course being of the
most interesting nature to every one per
aonally,we trust they will be well attended.

say.j what they have to
EtlitorSpy,
Please give me a little
s ce in your paper to-day, that I may say
a few words about selfishness. Not that
positive ltishness that every one denounc
es, and none more bitterly than the intense
ly selfish themselves, but that negative
selfishness, though willing, positively to
injure a neighbor, yet k , ggedly refuses to
help him, and echoes the e sion of Cain.
'Most '.carefully should this e guarded
against; for it works insidously.
It makes us contented with sbcial sys
tems, whose evils we may not feel by reason
of fortunate circumstances, but which crush
to earth many of God's children as dear to
Him as we. It enables us to sacrifice jus
tice to party measures, and truth to social
and church interests, to conceal words that
should be spoken, and to neglect deeds that
should be done-all unrebuked of conscience.
It whispers of self•culture, yet makes us
forget the most essential part of it, viz . the
subjection of self to the general interests of
humanity, the substitution of a generous
selfhood for an ignoble selfishness.
We are content to float with the current,
to measure our zeal by that of our social
circle, church, or parlor, and to tone down
our light with the shade policy. Policy,
there aro in that word more devils than•
ever infested Magdalene and a legion com
bined. It sounds the death knell of true
principal in every soul that makes it a
watchword.
Policy, in practical action, means that
you will do what good you can without
running any risk from wrong-deers in
pocket or reputation ;' that you will speak
the smooth, pleasant truths, and wrap up
the hard ones, which would probe rotten
heiirts to thecore. In politics it means that
justice and tho nation's welfare shall be
sacrificed for plunder and power. In
churches it means that ministers shall be
dumb dogs, giving no warning cry when
the wolf comes ; false prophets, saying soft
things, equally satisfying the world and
the church universal,and swelling the van
ity of their congregations at the expense of
their spiritual Liles and that the member
ship shall bar the doors against all the dis
agreeable, shalt live in conformity to the
notions of the Pharisees, shall refuse to eat
with publicans and sinners, and in short
shall be popular and pretty, leaving truth
and humanity to shift for themselves.
Always and everywhere it means that a
brother's interests must be sacrifices to our
ease and quiet ; that social wrongs may
wear out themselves, or the world, ere we
will damage our respectability by trying to
right them ; that God has not called us
to look out for any but ourselves, if wo will
be in the last degree incommoded thereby;
that respectability is the ono thing need
ful so that if we can be respectable and do
good, too, we may, but at all risks, be res
pectable. It is born of selfishness, it feeds
on selfishness, and it is ever the tool of sel
fishness. Away with this juggling fiend.

Et:wrap Sry :—At your suggestion, and
in reply to the (pestle:l asked in last issue
of your jouraal regarding, 'Who establish
edthe first libraiy.and where was it located,'
Presuming that you do not expect any ac
count of what is known as the " library of
Clay," I send you the following facts taken
from standard, historical works, the words
of which, in some instances. I will use.
The first library was fon tided by the Egypt
ian King, Asymaudyas. Another celebrat
ed library was founded by Ptolemy Soter,
at Alexandria, and also one at l'ergamus,
founded probably by Attains I,—the latter
library, when sent to Alexandria. by An
tony as a gift to Cleopatra, contained 200,000
volumes.
The first publio library at Albert% is said
to 'nub been founded lw P.isktratoq.
IThe 'first public Roman library Wits ttal
collected by Asinius Pollio.
But the downfall of the Western Ind sub
sequently of the Eastern empire involved
the destruction, or dispersion, of these emi
nent libraries; however, within the shelter
ing walls of the Monasteries—l quote from
Chambers' Encyclopaedia—the books which
had ese.sped destruction. the salvage, if we
may so express it, of the general wreck,
found a safe asylum, and not only were
they carefully preserved, but so multiplied
by the industry of the transcriber as to be
placed beyond all risk of loss in future.
Amongst the conventual libraries of the
middle ages specially worthy of notice are
those of Christ Church and of the Monas
tery of St. Augustine, Canterbury; of the
Abbeys of Floury, and Clugni,in France; of
Monte Cassino, in Italy ; and of St. Call.
in Switzerland.
In reading the history of the see° cen
tury of the christiau era, I Lind the accounts
or the library of Pain phalls, the martyr. at
Cies:ire:l where Ensebius phiced the Octa-
Pio of but I cannot at present
the date in which the library of Pamphilits
was established.
In the year 216 Pope Anterns formeil what
may well lie termed a library, the archives
of which were to teach eh ristians ; and Pope
St. Hilary, whose pontificate ended A. D.
drder:l3 the establislitnent of two libra
ries in thi- Lateran basilica, and through
him a rep•sitory for the treasures, of intellect
was opened. In my opinion questions or
this kind will serve the conifounity and
help to circulate your paper. KnAnint.

EDITOR SPY
Having read hi your last number of the
SPY of a question, which is to be ansivored
in your ne;%rt, isene, " Who established the
first library and where was it located,"
after a little consideration I have conchi
ded, that the clergy of Connecticut, estab
lished the first library. They located it at
New Haven, Connecticut, for the reason
that more money had been subscribed,
and the location was more convenient,
there, than at other places.

AN event of considerable interest to the
Catholics of Marietta occured on last Sun
day, on which day the Rev. J. S. Russell ,
pastor of St. Peter's church, Columbia, said
Mass in the above place and preached a
sermon.
We learn from one who was present that
the people seemed delighted and very
agreeably surprised as they knew nothing
of it until the evening previous ; but the
news soon flow around and consequently
at 101 o'clock there was assembled a pretty
largo congregation. It, is expected that the
congregation thc.., on next Sunday ,will be
much larger.
