Why He WAS IN THE PENITENTTARY.-
An important case was tried before the
Criminal Court of the District of Colum-
bia. An old colored man was on the
witness stand. The District Attorney
interrogated the witness:
"What is your name?"
"John Williams, sab"
"Are you the John Williams who was
sent to the Alb ny State penitentisry
for larCeny?"
"No, sah-not this John"
care you the John Williams who was
convicted for arson, and sent to the Bali
timOre penitentiary ?"
"No, sah."
Tired Of asking fruitless questions, the
District Attorney suddenly put lead
ing one.
"H,ve you ever been in the peniten-
tiarv P'
"Yes, sah."
All eyes we're now turned upon the
witness. The District Attorney smiled
complaCently, and resumed
"How many times have you been in
the penitentiary2"
"TwiCe, sah."
"Where2"
"Iu Baltimore, sah."
"How long were you there the 6rst
time ?"
About two hours, sah."
"How long the second time ?" asked
the attorney, rather crestfalen.
"An hour, sab, l went there to white.

his client"
The attorney sat down amid the
laughter of the spectators.

IN THE CABINET.
The COlOred Brother Demands RecOg-
milton,

The COlOred Brother Demands RecOgs
milton.
The colored brother is clamoring for
recognition under the new dispensation.
The AdOOcGte, an organ Of the race pub
lished in Washington City, thus advo-
Gates the claim of the negro for Cabi-
net place.
"Just before the nomination at Chi
cago we discussed the recognition due to
the negro from the Republican party.
Now that victory is achieved by the cleo
ton of Garfield and Arthur, and major
ity in the next House is assured, it is
seasonable to continue the discussion.
In the first place, we call attention to
the article of Mr., Smith, on the first
page, as being very strong plea in be-
half of the appointment of Senator Bruce
to place in President Gar6eld's Cabinet.
We indorse these views, so far as they
co. but our idea is, that the appointment
of no one single individual to promi
nent place is the full measure of duty
toward the negro. General recognition
in all the departments of the Civil Ser
vice is what we want-from a place in
the Cabinet down to clerkships here in
Washington, and in Postmasterships,
Collectorships of Customs and Internal
Revenue, Inspectors of the Postal De-
partment, Special Agents of the Treasury
Department throughout the country, &c.
The value of the negro vote in such
States as Indiana, New York and Ohio
can be properly estimated when it is
known that their vote was so large that
had it been taken from the Republicans
and given to the Democratic party the
result would have been far different,
Hancock, instead of steaming up Salt
River on the suspicious craft, Solid South
believed to be stolen property-would
be steering for the White House. Turn
ing from the Presidential to the Con-
gressonal victory, the importance of the
negro voter is more clearly seen. In at
least nine of the districts of the South
from which Republicans were returned,
in all save the one in East Tennessee
and Kentucky, the negro voter gave the
Republican candidates much more than
the majorities, and in a majority of these
cases fOur;ftthS of the votes cast"

LITTLE THINGS OF GREAT MoMENT.-lt
is a small matter to take the horses
across the field for their water its seems
to cost nothing, yet if a farmers time, or
that of a hired man, is worth anything,
it costs a great deal in the course of a
year. 1t is small matter to chop each
days wood upon the day it is used, and
thus have it all fresh but fifteen min
rites in harvest time is worth more than
in January; besides, there are vastly
more economical methods of making fire
wood than with an axe. 1t is very lit
tie matter to tighten loose nut, but 1t
sometimes costs life and limb not to do
it. A pear tree here, and peach tree
there, cost 80 little that one is inclined
to think they are of no account, but
when the fruit is ripe they are appre-
ciated. A single step from one room to
another is "only one step" but the
thought of stair way made out Of these
steps during life time, is enough al

Cry OF AN EXTINCT PEOPLE DrsCov-
ERRD james Stephenson, in charge of
the United States geological survey in
northern New Mexico, reports having
made the astonishing discovery Of a city
of an extinct people; old dwellings of
which extend thirty or forty miles par.
alel with the Rio Grande, and about
ten miles back from the river, and only
about 40 miles from Sante Fe. The dwell.
lings are, in some instances, 1920 feet
in dimensi ms, cut in solid rock with
arched ceiling, on the face of a cliff ap.
parently inaccessible to man, The exca-
vations were made, apparently, with i'm
plements of stone. In some of the dwell
iings were found fragments of materials
used by the inhabitants, long since.

JOHNSON, the colored barber, who - -
for Congress in Arkansas, and was for
some days reported elected, has come
North, and been interviewed by a Mil.
waukee reporter. He cries "fraud," of
course, and gives promise of joining the
noble army of Republican contestants,
of whom there are now a full score or
more waiting for the new Congress. Bat
the mistake with Johnson was, he per-
mitted the canvass of his district to go
by default too long, and mounted his
spawned mule too late to retrieve the
day. He polled 10000 votes as it was in
the counties he was able to reach, and
these returns-the earliest to come in
seem to have unduly inflated him with
the expectation of success, which for a
time others shared, Perhaps the Rspub.

gress Will determine that what might
have been should be, and 80 award the
seat to the dusky gentleman from Ar
