"FeIly asitFIies,,-at Newport.

1t has been quite mystery to the
gentlemen why the regular lady board
ers at the hotels should appear at break
fast in Jockey hats, but the mystery has
at last been solved. They do it to hide
their crimping pins, their hair being in
"a state Of preparation for the evening
toilette, and it has been suggested that
gentlemen n who have not the leisure to
shave before breakfast be admitted to
the dining-room with their faces done
up in napkin. The monogram fever
still runs high. Even the bouquets car
ried at the receptions have their own
ers initials most beautifully wrought
in five colored flowers, and set in a
ground of white coronations. Lace
sila wis were never 30 much worn, but
they are seldom seen unless gathered up
Oh the the shoulders, and belted down,
doing entirely away with the shawl ar
raugements, and resembling basque
more. Ladies of all ages are seen on
the promepades, with wee specimens of
dogs looking out from under their arms,
or with heads thrust out of their pock-
ets. The fashionable morning suits for
gentlemen are made of linen material,
resembling crash toweling more than
anything else. Black for evening wear
seems to be going out, and mixed goods
are much seen. The Grecian Bend is
prevailing to an alarming extent.
There are many more affected with this
distressing disease than last season, few
having the courage then to be seen in
the street with it, Newport's boys not
being any more respectful than any
others, and always showing an inclina-
tion to make fun of the poor sufferers.
They now receive but little sympathy,
but the cases are SO commonly seen that
it has got to be an old story, and boys
do not now molest them.

Another Opponent of Prescription.


The Parkersburg Times, after bitter
experience i'll the society of the pro-
scriptionists, comes out under its new
management fairly and emphatically in
favor of the "let up" policy, "the re-
moval of all Test Oatbs and disfran-
chising clauses" Thus, one after an
other, the Republican journals of the
State and country cast off the policy of
prescription and hoist the liberal flag.
The people ofWest Virginia are destined
to be free. But little while and the
pains, penalties and disfranchisements
which now oppress them will be over.
In replying to the charge that the
Times proposes to abandon the Repub.
lican party and 60 over to the Dem
ocracy, that paper says:
And now to hear it said that we in
tend to change front; because some gen.
erous friends have aided us in our sd-
versity and lent us their assistance
when sadly needed. We say to those
unscrupulous men who are spreading
such rumors that, while they may be
bought, ice are not for sale. Further, we
announce to them here in plain terms
that we are for impartial suffrage as we
ever have been; We sustain the Chicago
platform in all its bearings, will sustain
President Grants administration and
his policy; but will oppose all and any
test oaths and disfranchisinp clauses.

No Coolie-M uch Negro.

The South must employ negroes. Con-
grees will not tolerate coolies. To do
so would be to sacrifice the results of
the war. The purpose for which the
Union heroes laid down their lives Is
understood to have been the establish.
ment Of the black man in a position
that would enable him to command en-
ployment, position, influence and social
and political Importance. As we pro-
gress in the great work of finding out
what the war was fought for we learn
that this is the meaning of the slate un-
pleasantness." That being so, the ne.
gro must be protected against all com-
petition. He must be backed by bay
onets, Congress, perpetual special legis-
lation and all other nuisances of that
sort, to enable him to hold his own
with the "poor white trash" and more
over no other race must be allowed to
pit its muscle, energy, or industry
against his. Hence we can't have any
in ours. We must build a
Chinese wall to keep out the Chinese.
1t is now intimsted that among the
first acts of Congress on its meeting,
will be the passage of the law declaring
all contracts with foreigners, made in
foreign countries, void. This will be
dsne with the hope of thereby compel
ing. Southern planters to employ only
negroes.
There must be no thwarting of desti-
ny. The negro is the ward of the Ameri
can people. He is theirs to enjoy, theirs
to preserve, theirs to transmit. There
must be no wasting of affection on John
Cinnamon. There must be no running
after strange gods and coolies. There
must be no labor save black labor in the
South. The American negro must and
shall be employed.

Cuba.


TamIlany has taken sides with Cuba
in her struggle for freedom. Elsewhere
we publish the resolutions sympathiz'
ing with the patriots and condemning
the Administration. It's clear case OF
stolen thunder. GRANT has had the op'
portuRity for months to enlist the sup
port and command the respect of all
that class of American people, who SYM
pathize with the victims of oppression,
struggling to be free. Millions Of
Americans felt for the sufferings
and desired the liberation of Greece,
afterward of Hungary, and later still OF
Ireland and Of Crete, as they success
lively rose up against their oppressors.
Just as many of our citizens have warm
place in their hearts for the Cuban pa
triots, and heartily pray for their sue
cess. Why this is, it is needless to in
quire. Possibly because there is some
thing in the nature of free institutions
that educates freemen to respond to the
cries of the down trodden, no matter
from what part or period of the world
they may come. At any rate, the Amer
lean heart throbs in unison with the
struggles of Cuba.
GRANT ignored this fact. He has not
rightly interpreted the wishes of
his people. He has made the
Alabama distractions of more value,
than the Cuban realities. Preserving
a sort of consistency under the bare
hope of obtaining indemnity from Eng
land for her encouragement of the rebel
lion, he has not only refused the Cuban
patriots lawful encouragement, but has
organized his marshals and marines into
a gang of detective police to hound the
steps of those people at the suggestion
of Spanish spies. As soon as he made
his Administration the tool of Spanish
tyranny, Tammany saw her advantage.
She now proclaims for free Cuba, con.
demns the Alabama nonsense ont of
which has come the disgraceful
treatment of the patriots by GRANT.
and thus commands the support
of every Cuban sympathizer in
the country. Governor HOFFMAN
heartily comedies, endorses and ap-
proves Popular sentiment in his State
goes with him. New York is all right
for another year at least. We may call
this political trickery if we will, but it
is the sort of trickery that the loyal
folks will wish GRANT had adopted, be.
fore the country is a year older.
