Capps, one Of the colored men
who left New York on the I'd
inst. for Liberia, when asked
how he felt on leaving his native
land for the African Republic,
sententiously and enthusiastical-
ly replied, II feel that I could
not be engaged in a better Or a
nobler work. We folks go to
Liberia to civilize and Christian
ize the African continent. Now,
suppose your ancestors hadn't
come here in years of yore,
wouldn't the buffalo still be
roaming over Manhattan Island? ?
Wouldn't the country have still
remained in tho hands of a
lot of savages? Now, just as
your ancestors came here to
drive away the buffalo and plant
civilization, so we go to drive
away the bushcow from Liberia
and build up great Christian
empire.

A man named Proctor was

A man named Proctor was
recently hanged by q mob In
Iowa. An inquest was held. 1t
is now reported that; in conse-
quence of haste and bungling,
the culprit was not dead; that
his family held a mock funeral,
and that he escaped disguised.
The tale Of his revival is a fear
full one. When they became
aware of returning life those
around threw cold water upon
his face. For some time they
seemed to accomplish nothing,
but at last u feeble groan escap-
ed the lips; he eyes opened and
closed agaln, rs if dreading to
see. They spoke to him, told
him he was with friends and
need have no fear. He again
opened his eyes and looked
about in a curious, wondering
way, and after a few attempts
spoke, but with great difficulty.
He did not seem to be conscious
of the events of the day, and
inquired what had happened.
They told him, and as his mem
ory was awakened to the terri
bic ordeal he had undergone,
a convulsive tremor shook his
whole frame. His imagination
seemed to transform his sur
roundings into the scene Of his
fearful sufferings, and ever and
again he closed his eyes as if to
shut cut the dreadful vision.
During the period of returning
cons eiousness, he must have suf-
fcrcd a hundred times the terrors
of the day; his breathing be-
came difficult, and it seemed at
times as if each breath would be
the last. His face grew livid, as
If again the moose was tighten
ing around his neck. So vivid
and realistic was the horrid fan
cy that the constant assurances
of his friends were long power
less to dispel it.

The travelling salesman, or as
they are sometimes called. drum
mers'' Of the Northwest, are in
for q fight with the Northwest
erni Railway Company. The
trodble. originated in suit in
yolying the right OF a railroad
company to allow or refuse pas
sage to a commercial traveller
who'h not procured a lay-over
check. The case went to the
Supreme Court of Iowa, and in
his argument Judge Hubbard,
attorney for the company, closed
as follows:
"It may be stated now, as a
matter Of history tina. the Court
will take judicial notice of, that
this class Of men are the hardest
lot OF men on earth. They mo-
nopolize all the best rooms in
the hotel; they insult or seduce
all the chambermaids between
Maine and the Gulf of Mexico,
between the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, every month of the cal
iendsr year; they rush into the
ladies' car on every railroad in
the United States and Canadas
every day, and crowd into the
seats of every respectable lady
travelling alone and insult her
five minutes afterwards; they
travel with harlots, and make
assignation houses on every Sat
urday night of every hotel in
America; they have flirtations,
intrigues and elopements with
innocent, unsuspecting and re-
spectacle girls in every village
and city on the continent; they
pursue all virtue and all good
ness as the sharks pursue a ship
with the yellow fever on board.
There may be men in other call
ings who for some single vice
can challenge a comparison with
a commercial tourist, butt have
never seen them. But for a
combination in harmonious
blending of dishonesty, impu-
dence, cowardice, poltroonery
and leprous rascallty in all vari-
eties he stands without rival

Old Kaiser Wilhelm, in spite
Of his four score years, still en-
joys excellent health and looks
as stalwart and robust as
ever. Age seems to have but
little power over his martial
frame. From morn till eve his
Majesty is lndefatigable, in per-
formance Of his solemn obliga-
tions, thus presenting a striking
contrast to his Chancellor, by
twenty years his junior. Often
late at night the lamp may be
seen still burning in his study,
the windows of which occupy
the we'll known corner of his
palace facing the splendid monu-
ment OF his illustrioUs ancestor,
Frederick the Great, whose
fame bids fair to be surpassed
by that of his descendant, Kaiser
Wilhelm l. Punctually at two
in the afternoon he quits the
palace for drive through the
Thiergarten. The light equip
page, drawn by two splendid
Orloff trotters, present from
his nephew, the Gar, is general
ly open, affording good view of
the veteran Emperor, who, clad
in his gay military cloak, gra-
ciously recognizes and returns
the salutations universally and
heartily accorded HIM by the
passers-by lining the streets.
His Majesty never wearies of ac-
knowledging the greetings of his
subjects; even the humblest may
be sure of a friendly nod in re-
ply to his respectful bow.
The record of the coroper's
Office in New York City for the

The suicides, 1852, were ten more
than IN 1876, and the deaths
from accidents, 552, fourteen
