at recitation. The strongest reason for sup
posing that white cadets did not tie Whitaker
hands and feet and cut his ears was the fact
that in the social cole of West Point white
cadet is being far too lofty to touch tinted
cadet even for the purpose of SHAKING" Ana
vet the white cadet is supported out OF taxes
which the colOred boys father helps to pay.
The officers of the post, if they have not d.
rectty encouraged this state of things, have Ger
tainly made no attempt to change it. Some OF
the officers are undoubtedly as bad as the
cadets. They are newly-hedged lieutenants,
lust promoted from the pupils bench to the
teachers desk, and they have themselves been
guilty of this offence, in company perhaps with
the yerv lads who are now under them. If the
matreatment of niggers" is a tradition among
the cadets, 1t naturally becomes a tradition in
the army too. This being the state of feeling
at the post, it is not surprising that the authori-
ties should have fastened to assume Whittaker's
guilt before the investigation, even though his
character according to their own account was
"unexceptionabe' and that General Schofeld
should have issued his extraordinary order In
anticipation of the finding of the court; ana
that inflated young officers should have insulted
the civilian counsel when he presented himself
at the inquiry. 1t will not mend the case Ii it
prove that in jumping at the presumption Of
the colorcd boys guilt West Point made
lucky guess. West Point was bound to give
him fair play; and whatever may be discovered
about this particular incident, the dsgraceful
fact has been clearly established that at West
Point cOlored boys never have fair play.
We repeat what we said on this subject three
weeks ago; GWhether the guilt be fastened
"upon Whitaker or the cadets, there can be
"but one opinion among well bred or right
"feelng people as to this trial thus forced upon
" the colored boys at West Point and Annapolis
@by their fellow students. There is not q
"yOung man at either of these schools who does
not know what intolerable torture such treat
"ment would be to himself, when continued
"thrOughOut the years Of his bOyhoOd; and
"the fact that among all these lads there has
"not been one who had the courage to be mer~
"cful or kindly proves that the ruling tone of
"mOrals and breeding in both places is that OF
I" the vulgar snOb rather than the brave and
"gentle gentleman whom we fOndly imagine
"our soldiers to be-"

THE AQUARIUM.

There is no especial change in the performances
at the Aquarium this week. General Tom Thumb
and his company still remain the principal attrac
ton, appearing in al long and varied programme.
Signor Giovanni exhibits his trained birds and
plays upon the musical glasses, and the Man Fish
end tho Water Queen do clever tricks in the water
Major Newell sings comic songs in character, dances
excellent clog-dances on skates and is surprisingly
agile as the Mischerous Monkey in an amusing after
piece. General Tom Thumb and his wife appear in
several acts, during which the General gives his
famous limitations of Napoleon l.. sand his vito
sings. The performance cluscs with Punch and
Judy show. These entertainments are Especially
attractive to the little folks who form large part
of each audience, and who seem to enjoy them im-
mcnsrly. There is still the capital collection of
fishes on exhibition, and new feature has been
added in the shape of Reptile Hail." where may
he seen Il number Of snakes of various sorts; The
pet seals are missing and the tank Of the whale is
no longer in the centre of the building, but there
are monkeys anu birds in the place of them, which
afford mnrh delight to the children. There are per-
fur,nances each afternoon and evening.

SALSBURY'S TROUBADOURS.

SALSBURYS TROUBADOURS.
I Mr. Salisbury and the artists whom he has gath
cred about him and terms his Troubadours," are
now performing in their musical extravaganza.
"The Brook" at Days Theatre There has beeN
no great change in the piece since 1t was first given
year or more ago at the San Francisco Minstrels
Opera House, but features have been
added, chiefly in the matter Of songs and the per-
Torrance is much smoother than 1t was then. 1t
now goes with great spirit, and nothing could ex-
coed the energy of all the performers In it, 1t is
something to make lazy people shudder. The
weight of the musical portion of the piece rests
mainly upon the ladies, Miss Helene Dungeon and
Miss Nellie McHenry. The former has a light
soprano voice of pleasant quality. which she uses
with no little skill. Besides tho part which she
took in the concerted pieces she sans o serious
song for the display of her powers of yOcaization
the drinking song from Giro e-Giroila" and
Robin Affair." all of which were given with much
more style and finish than one is accustomed to OBJ
serve in performances of the kind. They were eX-
ctlcntly received. Miss Mcllenry's songs were
comic on the other hand, and were full of spark
ling and mischievOus spirit Of fun. Mr.. Salisbury
and Mr.. GOurlay gave some clever recitations, and
appeared in various characters. and Mr.. Webster
filled out the entertainment, which, if it has no
serious value Is least bright and amusing, and is
quiie free from anything that is vulgar or coarse
There is also trille called Gross Purposes o
sort of very slight farce. with which the evening

THE VEST POINT INQUIRY.

Sunpose it turn out that Cadet Whitaker
wrote the anonymous notes and committed the
mysterious outrage upon himself how will that
DEVELOPMENT affect the criticisms which have
been so freely made upon the tone of West
Point and the methods pursued in the present
inquiry
1t will not affect them at all. The particular
business which now presses upon the officers Of
the post is to discover whether Whitaker or
somebody else committed particular offence ::
but there is another question in which the out
side public takes much greater interest, and
that is whether the National Military Academy
IL ruled by ridiculous and abominable spirit
of caste. The character of Cadet Whitaker is
not matter of general concern; the character
of the Academy is. Whether this cOlOred lad is
innocent or guilty remains to be proved and9the
American people are not gre lily anxious about
the verdict; but there are certain things con-
nected with the management of West Point
which have been proved already, and the issue
of the Court Of Inquiry, whatever it may be, can
not alter them. We wish it could for they are
not pleasant things to contemplate. 1t has been
shown that every cOlored lad who enters the
United States Military Academy, though he has
the came rights there as his white companions,
is subjected during the whole period of his stay
to systematic and cruel maltreatment. Life is
made so hideous to him, on account of the
color of his skin, that only extraordinary
strength of mind will enable him to endure it.
Nobody is willing to speak to him, to sit on the
same bench with him, to stand beside him in
ranks. He never hears his own voice except

ago the final operation Of making
small incision into the stomach, through
which the food was to pass, was per
formed, and twice q day during the
past week a beefsteak, cut up fine, has
been passed with the forceps into the
stomach, and the child is steadily gain
ing strength.
On Saturday last I visited the child,
in company with DR.. Herff, and saw it
fed. We halted in front of small
one-story house, which, we entered. A
little girl, with light hair and blue eyes,.
was sitting Up in bed surrounded by
playthings. Her mother, young
woman Of about thirty years of age,
was busy in the ROOM
Don't YOU want your supper, Jcs-
sie?" said the doctor.
$ want stc"k don't want any
bread, COS it hurts" said the little
girl, whose thin features and pale COM
plexiOn showed the result of her long
fast.
The mother brought in rare beef
steak which the doctor proceeded to
cut up into small pieces, crumbling up
some bread at the same time. The food
being prepared, the child lay back on
the bed and the opening in the side
was exposed. It was only an inch in
length, and presented the appearance
of a badly-healed cut. It was little
infamed. l stood by and saw the doc
tor take one piece after another and
carefully introduce it with the forceps
into the stomach, until the plate was
nearly empty. The child complained a
little at times, but did not appear to
suffer any. She finally said, .'My
stomach is full;'' and, as there was no
more steak, the doctor desisted. Final
ly some cotton was placed in the open
ing, a bandage put on, and she sat up
and was soon fondling her playthings.
The following additional facts may be
Of interest to the medical fraternity and
others interested. No particle of solid
food has passed through the child's
throat since the accident. A grain of
rice nearly strangles her. Milk is also
injected into the stomach through the
opening. The only possible danger is
from the wound closing up. hence it is
kept open with cotton. At first plug
of expansive cotton was used. There
is no reason why the child should not
become stout and healthy. The food
digests readily, just the same as if
chewed and swallowed. To the inquiry
if this mode of taking nourishment
would have to be kept up through life,
no definite answer was given, as it de-
ponds on the possibility of reducing
the structure of the throat. DR.. Herff
proposes to have, as soon as the opening
heals up completely, an instrument
made by which the food can be more
readily introduced into the stomach

CanarieS as Concert. Singers.

An entire novelty in the concert-sing-
Ing department of musical art is prom
ised to the lovers of sweet sounds by an
ingenious citizen of Phenixville, South
Australia. This gentleman has for some
years past devoted himself exclusively
to the training of canary birds in every
known method of vocalization. and, as
we gather from antipodean journals,
with extraordinary success. But he has
recently crowned his triumphs as very
LAMBERT of feathered songsters by in
venting mechanical apparatus by
which his yellow pupils will be taught
to perform music of more reconcile
and complicated character than mere
ballads and opera airs. He proposes,
with the aid of this continuance, not
only to produce canary soloists, capa-
BILE of executing airs like "Dip Your
Chair" or "Dec Tanty." as the immor-
tai Jeames dc la Pluche designated the
ford displays fashionable in his day,
but to teach his pupils part-singing and

The Tardy Foot Of Justice.

Among the curiosities of crime, the
Chingf0rd murder-now no longer q
mystery-wil deserve hereafter con-
spicuous place. Although the foul
deed was done twenty-five years ago, it
was only yesterday that it's perpetrator
had his guilt brought home to him.
Jonathan Gaydon, who has been SEN
fenced to death for the murder of Miss
White, an inmate of the house of her
brother-in-law, Mr.. Small, a farmer at
Chingford, on the 21st of June, 1857,
has not escaped punishment for these
twenty years or more, though he man.
aged to battle the law during that time.
From the day when he butchered his
victim and plundered the house in
which she was left alone one quiet sum-
mer Sabbath morning in 1857, he has
wandered upon the face of the earth a
conscience-stricken vagabond with the
brand of Cain, not perhaps visibly inn
printed on his forehead, but assuredly
ever burning itself into his heart. This
miserable wretch has been constantly
haunted by the shadow of his horrid
deed, and his self-torture at last drove
him to give himself up to justice in q
mood so desperate that in his confession
to the police he said: "H could have
got rope strong enough, I should have
hanged myself to-day But for his
own confession and the fitting in Of his
story with the facts Of the case. there
was no evidence against the unhappy
man; but his advocate made q futile
attempt to convince the jury that he
was not Jonathan Gaydon at all, but
some morbid minded, crazy creature,
who, out of a demented love of criminal
notoriety, was personating the muir
derer. The mans tale, however, so
painfully circumstantial, his demeanor
SO terribly. earnest, and the utter failure
of his counsel to prove that he was
somebody else than Jonathan Gaydon,
left the jury no alternative than to
convict the prisoner. Barbarous as
was his deed, there must have been
some latent good in this wretched out
cast He had conscience, at any
rate, for it has been the means Of bring
ing him to tho gallows. London Isls-
