Some of our g colorcd il'icnds" object
to our use of the word negro, in referring
to them. With characteristic afectatlon
they want to be called "colored people"
We generally endeavor to calreverything
by It's right name. If we said @colored
man," we might mean eithera Mongolian,
Malaysian, Indian, Caucasian, or negro:
The expression would apply equally to a
black man, blue man, n green man, q
red man, or "any other man !" We used
the word negro because that is the name
of the race to which they belong; in the
samc way that we used the word Indian
to designate the aboriginal Inhabitants Of
the country. Besides, black is not a color,
but the absence of all color, and therefore
a black man is not a " colored man," but
a no-colored man. Would they prefer the
latter title ?-E!rchange.

WHAT NExr.-Major Gen, King, CON-
mandant Of this District, accompanied by
his wife, and another gentleman and lady
drove ont yesterday afternoon, and when
about three miles from the city we're
met by two men on horseback, who en-
quired the road to MilIedgeville, and af-
ter the interchange of a few words, de-
manded of the General to surrender to
him the horses which he was driving.
The demand being accompanied by the
exhibition of shooting irons, the General
gracefully, but reluctantly, surrendered
to overpowering force from the fact that
he was unarmed; and doubtless, came to
she conclusion, under the circumstances,
that discretion was the better part of val
or. The robbers Immediately unharness-
ed the Generals horses and bid him an
affectionate farewell.
After driving on short distance those
highway robbers met a gentleman and
lady, riding on horseback, who accompa-
MED General King and lady from the
city, and with the utmost audacity COM
manded the gentleman to dismolnt,
which he did, and his horse was then ap-
propriated; making in all three horses
which they had stolen. This is in every
respect the boldest highway robbery
which we have of late chroniclcd, when
we consider the time, the Place and the
prominence of the victims of this eutra-
geous proceeding. General King, on his
return to the city, sent y detachment Of
mounted men after the robbers, and We
sincerely trust that they will be arrested
and punished severely for this high-hand-
ed outrage.
The General is an officer of the old
Army, and has, by hisjudicious and iln-
partial administration of all matters COM
ing under his jurisdiction, won tho respect
and esteem of our citizens, and we sim
cerely regret the occurrence OF this daring
highway robbery.
The General, no doubt, appreciates
good Joke, and we imagine that the fore-
going is too practical to be appreciated

SnnAr-Heated Sianm.

= The invention of Eben 'Danford, Of &C.
neva, Illinois, patented about one year
ago, by which super-heated steam could
be generated and applied to the propul-
sion of machinery in cheap and speedy
manner, has excited much interest
throughout the country, and secured a
name and fortune for the inventor. But
some few days ago William Conant, of the
same place, came to Washington and sue
ceeded in obtaining patent for 'ssuper-
heated steam generator" which is destin-
ed not only to bring the inventor for
tune, but to prove public blessing. Mr..
Commits invention differs from Mr.. DAN
ford's in this important particular
former converts water into steam by pass
ing through heated coils or tubes, and
then forces it (the wet steam) into heat
ed receiver, where it is instantly changed
or subhmated into dry, or super-heated
steam, and then it is ready for it's applr.
cationto machinery, etc.; while the lat
ter elects water by means of a "rose
sprinkler into the super heated receiver.
The difference is specifically that the one
elects water and the other wet steam into
the super-heated receiver, Mr.. Conanti
claims large economy n.fuel, and an
excess of power over Mr.. Danford, as
well as greater durability of his tubes
and receiver. -Amerac@n Royozist.

PRINCE ALFRED of England has become
Duke of Edinburgh, and is to take his seat
in the House of Lords. Prince William
Henry, Brother of King George Ill, was
created, on the 10th of November, 1884,
Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh. The lat
ter title was not used, though both were
British peerages-the Crown having had no
power to create Scottish peerage since
the Act of Union of May 1907. The elder
Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh died in
1905, and was succeeded by his son, Prince
William Frederick, at whose death, without
issue, ON the Both OF November, 1884, the
two peerages became extinct. The title Of
Duke of Edinburgh is therefore new Gre
alton in favor of Prince Alfred, and will be
borne as his first title.
Mr. LINCOLN was not member of any
church, but his religious views strongly in
clined to those held by Theodore Parker.
In 1853 Mr.. Lincoln and his law partner,
W. H. Herndon, invited Mr.. Parker to lee
ture at Springfield, and both of them saton
the platform with him during the evening.
Mr.. Lincoln, however, manifested in his
life more genuine religious feeling than any
other American President, most Of whom
did not have enough religion to hurt their
political prospects while living, nor, we
fear, to help them much when dead. Mr..
Lincolns unaffected reliance upon Divine
aid, and his frequent requests for prayer
thathe might be sustained in his arduous
work, made deep impression upon the
people, and the feeling was almost universal
that he was thoroughly good man. Some
of the leading clergymen Of various demon
nations attempted to persuade him to join
the church, and there were reports after his
death that had he lived longer these efforts
would have been successful. Of this, how
ever, it is impossible to judge. Rochester

Erie. Broad Gauge Railway.

We learn that the day express trains on
this railway have been recently furnished
With a new set Of coaches, smoking and
baggage cars, which are said to be far
ahead of anything heretofore in use
! These coaches were built at the company's
shops, are 81 feet long, supported on six
Wheeled trucks, and will seat comfortably
80 passengers. They have been fitted up
without regard to expense. and the up
holstery is really luxurious. The i'm
provement in The formation of the backs
|. of the seats, being so arranged as to fit
every portion of the back like an easy
chair, is very desirable one; while
special pains have been taken to give am
pie vfoom for the limbs and support for the
feet. q t~.- [gA y 49,, y
The smoking cars are furnished with
cane seated revolving chairs, and; at one
end a news stand has been erected, where
all the current literature. as well as a
good cigar, can be obtained. On such a
train as this, stopping at proper hours for
breakfast, dinner and supper, at eating

A.NoveI Enterprise.

Alprogressiye engineer proposes toscon-
meet New York with Jersey City by, a cast
iron tube laid in the bed Of the river, five
feet in diameter The tube lis to be cast
in lengths of twelve feet, with spherical
joints to allow for change of position, and
is to be worked by the pneumatic method,
for the purpose Of transporting the Erie
Railroads freight from Long dock to the
Duane street pier in New York. The plan
is said to be perfectly. feasible, while the
principle is one that can be advantageous
ly applied on large scale. All the rail-
road lines diverging from New York will
eventually enter it underground and con-
centrate in single subterranean depot.
Access TO this will be much the most
cheaply and expeditiously attained by the
New Jersey and Long Island Railroads,
through tubular iron tunnels, laid ON the
beds of the Hudson and East rivers.

In the Old School General Assembly, at
its recent session in st. Louis, Rev. DR..
Thomas, in speaking about the insubordin-
ate attitude of the Louisville Presbytery,
dwelt at some length upon the contempt for
all kinds of authority which prevails in this
country, illustrating by the following anec-
dotes:
"The great want of our age, sir, is a
spirit of obedience to law, of reverence tor

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
The Metric System and its Equivalents


The bill passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives to authorize the use of the metric
system of weights and measures, provides
that the following tables shall be recognized
in contracts and legal proceedings as the
equivalents of the weights and measures of
metric system. Any apparent completely
of the system will disappear when it is OBJ
served that it depends upon. single unit
the meter-and that any denomination of
measure can be expressed in meters, square
meters, or solid meters. The gram is the
weight of cube of water hundreth of a
meter on each side. For ordinary uses the
words meter and gram are the only new
words to be learned. r
It should also be noticed that although the
weights and measures are in value precisely
the same as those usedsin Europe, the names
have been so changed as to accord with the
spirit of our language

The Able Paradis, 60 years of age,
principal chaplain at Bicetre, was walking
in Rue Vandamme, Paris, on the morning
of the 18th of May, when he was accosted
by gentleman who asked him the hour.
He replied "half- past eleven, the hour of
my death; never mind; / am ready, sus-
tain me 2" And before the latter request
could be complied with, he grew pale, tot
tered, and fell to the pavement. Medical
assistance was instantly procured, but he

cause of his death to be the rupture of an

"A strange spectacle was recently pre-

be employed. What was to be done? The
station master proposed to the women to &C
company their husbands, but in separate
carriages. The poor creatures consented;
but when the train started, the carriages
with the women did not move. The station
master had them detached, but wisely took
care to get away before the discovery was
made.

were registered as having died of convul
sions; very frequent source of infant NOR
tality, for | have known az many as seven

malady without exciting any wonder. She
next poisoned her husband, then her para
mour, then her grandchild, and lastly her
son-in-law. Her guilt was clearly estab-
lished, for four of the victims corpses were,
so TO SPEAK, embalmed with the quantity of
arsenic administered. And such is the re-
pugnance of French juries to capital pun
ishment that this monster got the benefit of
extenuating circumstances.
