NEGROES IN NORTHERN COLLEGES.

In response to a circular sent out, seventy Northern Colleges sent
information; and in them are at present one hundred and sixty-nine

ridiculed for studying Greek and Latin; then mobbed in a New Hampshire
seminary; then dragged from a street car in Utica; then studying
theology with Dr. Beman in Troy, N. Y. Soon he was settled as a
minister; afterward he travelled in Great Britain and on the Continent

the door plate." He was the first Colored man who ever spoke in public
in the Capitol at Washington, having preached there Sunday, Feb. 12,
