THE POTTER INVESTIGATION.
ANDERsoN's TESTIMONY.

James e. Anderson, of Philadelphia,
formerly supervisor of registration of East
Fellciana parish, La., was the first witness
called, and Representative MacMahon be-
gan his examination. After giving de-
tailed statement as to the duties of SUPER
visor OF registration, Anderson said that he
had seen document known as the Sher-
man protest, and that 1t had been altered not
being the same as when signed by him. In
reply to question as to Its alteration, the
witness said there were two or three addi-
tional paragraphs In the document. and that
1t was filled In In several places. In an in
tervew with Gov. Kellogg he was asked how
his (Anderson's) parish was going, and he
replied about fifteen hundred Democratic
majority" Gov. Kellogg said THAT willnev-
er do" and suggested that Anderson rally
the colored voters of the two polls and carry
them and let the remainder of the poles go,
remarking, further, that the witness then
get up disturbance, and, In consequence
thereof, throw the Democratic votes out.
While in New Orleans. he heard that John
Sherman was In the city. desirous of seeing
Dan Weber and himself, whereupon they
called at the st. Charles l.otel to see Sher-
man, but failed to find him there, but later,
succeeding in finding him at Maloir's res
taurant. on canal street. Weber advanced,
and. addressing Sherman, the later re-
marked: "Gentlemen, l am glad to see
you" Continuing, Sherman said: II want
to see you. as / understand there Is some
difficulty In your respective parishes, and
this Is a time when the assistance of every
Republican and true patriot is needed and
l trust you will stand by u.s." Weber re-
marked that In endeavoring to do their du-
ty,, they incurred the displeasure of Pack.
ard and Kellogg. and were compelled to
leave their respective parishes, and, In the
event of Packards election as Governor,
we will get nothing from the administra-
ton. whereupon they were assured by
Sherman that they would be cared for, as
Hayes would control the Federal patron
age. All desired of them was that they
stand firm and let the record run along as
1t had.

SOME people grow excessively polite
to visitors on the point of departure,
after having treated them quite coldly
at first. So many timid persons become
fercely pugnacious, almost requiring to
be held back when the enemy is quit
ing the field. Nations are combina-
tions of individuals, and not infrequent-
ly manifest individual characteristics.
Just now it is curious to see Austria
SO cautious and reticent while Russia
and Great Britain were apparently COM
ing to blows-growing critical and die
tatorial, and seemingly bent on playing
the dictator If the congress at Berlin
fails and the political atmosphere again
becomes squally, Francis Joseph's ad-
visers will return to their pacific ways.
They want to share in the distribution
OF spoils, but they prefer the bloodless
route to success.

How She Fixed Him.

The young man was evidently honest
in his intentions, but three years of con-
slant courting had failed to overcome
his excessive bashfulness. They were
sitting in chairs at respectful distance
apart. Said the young man, having
spent five minutes in search of subject {:
"How do you get along with your
cooking?"
"Nicely," replied the young miss
"I'm improving wonderfully. / can
make splendid cake now"
"Can you ?" said the young man in
pleased manner. "What kind do you
like best ?"
like one made with flour and sugar
and citron and raisons and currants and
lots of those things, and beautiful frost
ing on top" responded the young miss.

claimed the young man nervously.

as pumpkin, it's ears stuck out like
clam-shells on a cocoanut, its nose pro-
jected like figure four from what
seemed to be its face ; it walked upright,
and its head was covered with growth
of bristles about one-sixteenth of an
inch in length, and for want of better
name the creature had been called the
"What is it ?"
And placing his hand on the boys
head, the father said:
"Why, here it is now. Here's the

The boy replied, as he buttered piece

"They've got blamed sight worse
