The New Orleans Picayune has an
able article showing that there has
been no increase in the colorcd popu-
lation during the last ten years. II
says that it has no desire to see the
colored race.fade out, or wear out, or
emigrate, for there is room enough
and work enough for all their race
without crowding ours, but it seems to
be a doomed and clinical decree that
the only condition under which the
Ethiopian race can prosper and multi
ply is either m undisturbed occupation
Of tropical and fertile region or the
legalized control, supervision and die
tation of those who represent a more
advanced civilization.

The New York Herald. referring to
the so-called XIVth and XVIII Amend
ments, says:
From General Grants course on the
ku-klux question, it is evident that he
intends to force the fight upon these
two amendments, so obnoxious to tile
Democracy of the South and never
recognized by the Democracy Of the
North.
But it makes no sort of difference
what Grant forces the fight upon if
the Democratic party makes q square
issue against him. With q statesman
and a true Democrat for a nominee he
will be the worst beaten wretch who
ever ran for an office. SO many of the
most intelligent and respectable mem
bers of the Mongrel party hate and de-
spisc him, that the campaign will be
dead before it starts. And Grant win
60 to the shades of lorney, and be a
dead dog too.-[N. Y. Day Book.

Louis Kossuth is lying at the point of
death in Turin, Italy What history
has been his He is now 79 years of
age. Before he was thirty he had
made himself famous in the public. af-
fairs of Hungary. He was a fine lin
g1list, having, before he left college,
acquired fuency in the Magyar, Slovak,
German, French and Latin tongues.
From 1881 to 1851 he was constantly
occupied in public life, and was an
active and turbulent leader. In 1851
his extradition was demanded by Aus
tria and Russia, but through the
friendly intervention of the United
States and England he was allowed to
come to this country. His progress
through the northern states was an
ovation. In Washington banquet
was given him by the members of both
houses of Congress, at which he was
addressed, among others, by Daniel
Webster and Lewis Cass. His efforts
to obtain pecuniary aid for Hungary,
however, received fatal blow by the
coup d'etat of Louis Napoleon, the

the knowledge necessary to obviate GER

ditH YuaTieTS, Foou HHu beuuIng.
Mr. G. @. Fulton, of the Baltimore
American, who accompanied the San
Domingo Commission, writes to his pa

"The refusal of Profs. White and
Howe to accept the hospitality of the

hilarity. After Prof Howe reached the
empty house that had been engaged
which, by the way, is the private prop
erty of President Baez-there was not
even chair to sit upon There being
no chairs to be had, it was found neces-
sary to send over to President Baez to
borrow a dozen. The chairs having
been promptly sent, Secretary Burton
went to green grocery establishment
and ordered stock of eatables, whilst
DR.. Wainwright and Prof Crane were
dispatched to purchase table This
was about 6 o'clock in the evening,
when an American, who happened to
drop in, inquired of Prof. Howe wheth-
er they had any accommodations for
sleeping ~ Al
All the spare cots in the town were
at the palace, and there were none for
sale. The dilemma was an awkward
one. The hospitality of the President
and the people had been Indignantly
refused, and the rejected cots must now
either be had or the Commission must
sleep on the brick tiles of their room
floors. Their visitor proposed to inter

sent to them from the palace, and the
balance at the palace rendered to the
use of the press. The foolish proceed

AN OLD SALTS SroRY.-Old Capt

AN OLD OALTS STORY.-OldC CapI -,
of Stonington, relates the following re-
markable incident that occurred while
on the passage from New York some
years ago. He observed one summer
afternoon a heavy cloud arise from the
land, and to his great surprise approach
the vessel. Suddenly it broke near
him, and millions of mosquitoes cover
ed the deck of the vessel to the depth
of several inches, while part of the
flock went through the mainsail, leav-
ing nothing but the bolt ropes idly
hanging to the spars. Corroborative
evidence to this astonishing tale was
found in the person of "down East
skipper" who heard the story, ond who,
on comparing dates with the narrator,
declared that two days afterwards he
was boarded by apart of the same flock
and they all wore canvas breeches.
