WHAT A KENTUCKIAN HAS DONE IN
NEW ORLEANS E. Barber
was q slave of S. P. Barber, formerly a
halter of this city, on Market street, and
acted as porter in the store for several
years. Just before the war he went to
New Orleans, where, by his intelligence
and ability, he has achieved a position
which is an honor 10 himself and his native
state. During the war he held the office
Of harbor-mas,er, very lucrative posi-
ton. He was afterward very prominent
member Of the legislature, and is now the
general commanding the militia of the state
Of Louisiana. General Barber is large,
tine-looking black man, modest and dgnifi-
cd in his manner and attractive in his
conversation. lie has educated him
self, and deports himself as man who has
mixed among men of cultivation and re-
iinement. He is now in the city, suffering
from a chronic disease, and is under the
treatment of DR.. Lewis Rogers. General
Barber was the chairman of the meeting of
the colored people of New Orleans, held
soon after the Colfax massacre, at which
ian address to the American people" was
framed, setting forth the actual circum-
stances connected with the causeless, bru-
tai massacre of the negroes at Colfax. This
address has beel published, and is being
distributed through the country.-Louis-

RELEASE OF CoMANCHE CAPTIvEs.
A copy of letter written by Indian
Agent Haworth to Indian Super
intendent Hoag, at Lawrence, Kan
sas, has been received at the interior
department. The letter is dated Kiowa
Comanche agency, Indian territory, the
18th inst, and states that on the day pre-
yious train came in from Texas, bringing
Comanche women and children who had
been held prisoners of war at Fort Concho.
Agent Haworth says he at once sent word
to the Comanche camps, and large num-
Der of Indians came in to welcome their
friends. A council with the principal
Comanches followed, in which the latter
expressed their qualification at the release
of their kindred, and gave renewed assu-
RANGES of future good behavior. Agent
Haworth again suggests that the government
should keep its faith by releasing Satanic
and Big Tree. He says the Kiowas have
medicine dance soon, and that as peace
or war is frequently decided on such. oc-
casions, good policy would dictate the re-
lease of the Kiowa chiefs.

THE PRESIDENT AND PRoFANE LAM
GUAGE.-On Friday afternoon before
leaving for Long Branch, the President
took stroll along II street and dropped in
to see a friend, who is well-known citizen
of Washington. During his stay the
daughter of the gentleman referred to re.
marked that she had heard pleasant thing
about him 1.-THE President. The President
inquired to what she referred. 81 have
been told by an officer who served with
you in the army" said she, "that he had
been with you under many trying crcum-
stances and that in no single instance,
no matter what the provocaton,
had he ever known you to make
use of prolane language. was
delighted to hear this, especially in view of
the fact profanity that is said to be the
rule and not the exception among army
officers. Will you.excuse me, Mr.. Presi-
dent, if inquire if what heard is true 2"
ut is / believe" modestly replied the
President; 81 have always regarded pro-
fame language as unnecessary, to say the
the least, and as | am man of few words,
have never been able to understand the
necessity for useless expressions of the
character referred to-"

THE indianapolis Journal, in an article
on manufacturing and farming, says: "One
of the influences employed by the Demo-
crazy to divert the organization of farmers
from its original and legitimate object of
correcting the abuses of railway transpor-
tation to the restoration of that dishonest
and disloyal party to power, is the renewal
of the old clamor that the policy of encou-
raging manufactures and creating DIVERSE
ty of industries is inimical to the interests
of the farmer and an unjust discrimination
against him. A more absurd or more
thoroughly exploded fallacy was never inn
posed by impudence on credulity. All
reason and experience establish incontesti-
bly, the intimate and inevitable connection of
agricultural with manufacturing prosperity,
and the equal value to the farmer, with all
other classes of community, Of diversity
of industry"

announces the death, within the space of a
week, of MIR. John Fraser, his wife and
two children-all of cholera. Among the

Mr.. Hoy, in which an allusion is made to
Mr.. Mann, and to ga. d." as though they
had or knew of some money due Mr.. Fra

traitor in Memphis has qualified. Not
knowing any of the relatives of the de-
ceased family in Virginia, Mr.. Rhett wrote
to Mr.. Hoy for information concerning
them. The letter did not reach Mr.. Hoy,
and with the hope that he or the friends OF
the family may be made acquainted with
the facts in the case, we have given the
substance of the letter-which may be

The COAL TRADE.-The Philadelphia
Ledger, says: "The total OF anthracite mar
koted for tie week ending on the 18th in
slant amounted TO 43S,312 tons, and
for the coal year ,S07 400 tons to cores
ponding time last year, being an increase
Of lob 1892 tons. The bituminous tonnage
for the week is 5000 tons, and for the
year 970,663 tons, giving total of all kinds
for the week of 49S,000 tons, ard
for the year Of S,77S,G63 tons, a
gainst $3.50, 203 to same time laI. year,
being an increase Of 10Y $50 tons. The
coal trade continues quite active and prices
are steady. The operatives acknowledge
fair supply of orders. The wages paid for
June will be on the $500 basis. At Port
Richmond for the week ending with the
2lst instant the receipts Of coal were 81 900
tons, the shipping $4,000 tons, leaving
los 900 tons ON hand. Vessels are now
reported in good supply and rates in the
main unchanged, at $1.25 to New York, 50
to Providence, and $3.50 to Boston. The
Reading railroad company has Just
issued its circular of prices for the
month Of July, which shows generally an
advance of ten cents per ton. The other
companies and larger coal operators are
expected to advance their prices cores
pondingly. "The Mauch Chunk Gazette,
speaking for the Lehigh region, says,
there is a very good trade and prices are
fully maintained. Buyers are beginning
to accept the views of the seller in regard
to prices, and they consider it doubtful if
they can buy coal again this year as
cheaply as now"

LOUD PREACHING.-In one of his
lectures before the Yale college theological
students, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
was asked whether he thought man could
succeed, by action and increased emphasis,
in working himself up to feeling of genu-
inc enthusiasm. He replied in parable as
follows:
''In regard to that | will mention cir
cumstance that occurred to my father. |
recollect his coming home IN Boston one
Sunday, when was small boy, saving
how glad he was to get home, away from
the church and he added. 1T seems to
me / never made worse sermon than did
this morning. Why, father,' said I, Il
never heard you preach so loud in all my
life.' That is the way said he, 4

SENATORS SPECIALIZING IN PUB.
DoCs.-In connection with the discovery
of the sale Of valuable public documents
to secondhand dealers in Washington, two
cases Of note have come to light. In the
first a senator was applied to by vender
of oil paintings to purchase landscape for
5000. The artist finally offered to ex-
change for documents then due the senator,
and the sale was made on these terms.
The artist received nearly all the books due
for the last Congress and sold them to
secondhand dealers. The other case was
that of senator whose term expired with
last session. lie traded all books due for
two years for single rare volume in the
hands of secondhand dealer. = Cincinnati

The jury question is about to come to
an issue in Germany. Bayard Taylor, in
one of his letters, explains that there are
two forms of the jury system in use. the
Schotfengericht and Schwurgercht. The
latter corresponds with our system, but
the former is peculiar to Germany and
German Switzerland. II reserves all uues-
tons, both of fact and law, to Judges and
jurors. who meet together aud return a
common verdict. The judges are generally
three in number, and the Jurors not more
than six. In the draft for the criminal
code, which has been submitted to the inn
peral parliament, the preference is given
to the Schoffengericht. The people, as a
whole, are opposed to the jury system al
together, upon the ground that it is a
French importation. The advocates of the
system have, therefore, very shrewdly
sought to show that it was originally the
creation of fatherlsnd, that it then travelled
to England and France, and afterward
came back to Germany, where it was COM
pletely developed.
