We have no idea where the money is to come from. We have faith that it will come, because such work is in the line of God’s providential movement. He who wisely works in that line cannot fail. The way to get it is to ask for it, prepare for it, push for it, be worthy of it, pray for it, and it will come. The people of the country will sustain a good work for Indians. Some may object that it will trespass upon the negro. Has it been so here? How would our colored students feel to-day if our Indians were to be withdrawn? They would vote solidly against it; they would lose and not gain, and they know it. Is the mutual love and respect of these races of no account? The American Missionary Association aims to destroy caste. This is our way to do it. Nothing here has ever filled me with more pleasure than watching our students’ recreations, in which race lines are utterly forgotten. They exist between them, and many feared, in consequence, disastrous results of their mingling. Two of our most important and successful Indian teachers are negroes, graduates of this school. Three seventy-dollar scholarships are contributed by Virginia churches for this Indian work, from Petersburg, Portsmouth, and Hampton, respectively. Southern churches are aiding negro schools. Have faith and go in for Indians! * * * * * GENERAL NOTES. Africa. —A French school of archæology, like those which already exist at Rome and Athens, will be established at Cairo. M. Maspero, Professor in the College of France, has charge of the organization. —M. L. Vassion, attached to the office of foreign affairs in France, has gone to Cairo; he will start from there for Khartoum and the river Blanc, where he will study the nature of the commercial relations which it will be possible to establish with Soudan. —Dr. Pogge and his companion, M. Wissman, have sailed from Hamburg for Saint Paul de Loanda. The German Government has officially asked for them the protection of the Portuguese Government, by which they may traverse the African possessions on the western side. —The mission of Algiers proposes to found two new stations between the great lakes and the Atlantic. The first will be upon the Congo itself, at the point where the river bends to the north; the second will be in the States of Mouata Yamvo. —Messrs. Brazza and Ballay will descend the Alima in the transportable steamer which the latter has obtained from Europe, to complete the exploration of the Congo. —The _L’Afrique_, in an article on the Sanitary Condition of Africa and the adjacent Isles, says, “Madeira is remarkably healthy, so that it has been for a long time chosen as a sanitarium for consumptives. Malaria is wholly unknown there; dysentery is rare and shows itself only in the epidemic form.”
