Here is the way % Chicago paper
describes the advcAlOfa distinguished
statesman in Washington. 1t will
have to be read to the end to be
appreciated ga somewhat famous
man has appeared in Washington.
The country has heard of him morn,
noon and night, for years. In fact,
he is one of the country's public
servants. But the capital knew him
not. He tried to enter the sacred
precincts of the senate as he wandered
around the city endeavoring to recall
localities with which heought to have
been perfectly familiar; but the
sturdy doorkeeper opposcdhim. The
renowned individual was unknown
to this humble official: "My letters
Of introduction are at the hotel; so
is my flask of mountain dew SO is
my checkbook. And my white shirt,
with my name on it, is in the wash"
this distinguished citizen is supposed
to have remarked, "and I have not
been here in so long a time that my
old friends are dead, and the boys
have turned gray. Still, if this is the
senate, | must goin. The government
owes me money. Somebody must
introduce me. Why, Pm Sharon.
Senator Sharon"

BUSINESS ON THE BRAIN.

Justice Moses was aroused from q

Are you ready for trial, | saye"
"Husl, !! Don't make a noise, or else
you'll wake the baby she replied,
endeavoring to sooth him.
Don't talk back to this court" he
vociferated eff you've got any witne-
sses bring'em on, but let your lawyer
do the talking"
"Why, Tom, how you take on
What is the matter :"
81 send you up for sixty days
that's what's the matter. Here,
Enders, take her away. Now, I'm
ready for that larceny case. Bring
up the prisoner"
And, jumping out ofbed, he started
fer the next room to summon u jury
but fell over q rocking chair, barkcd
his shins, woke up, and asked his
wife what the dickens was the matter,
anyhow.

CUBAN EMANCIPATION AND LOU.
ISIANA SUGAR.
Shreveport Standard.

just as the Clement attachment has
been proved u success, by which the
profits Of cotton culture in Louisiana
will be largely enhanced, another
occurrence has taken place which will
exert an important and a favorable
influence on the profits of the sugar
crop also. We allude to the emanci-
patton of the Cuban slaves. The act
which has passed the Spanish Cortes,
and been promulgated, provides for n
system Of gradual emancipation, to
commence at once, and to be COM
pleted in ten years. Although it's
effects may not be prceptible at first,
in a very few years they will begin
to make themselves felt, unless wo
have read the teachings of history to
no purpose.
These effects will be the gradual
diminution in the amount of sugar
cultivation and a gradual increase in
the price of the article in the market
until the production of it in other
countries shall become much more
remune1ative than it now is. The
negro, under the soft and cncrvating
climate of Cuba, will not work
faithfully and industriously except
under the restraints of slavery.
Unlike the freedmen in the United
States, who have been in contact with
civilization for two hundred and fifty
years, the majority of the Cuban
slaves are either native Africans or
their descendants within q single
generation. Their tendency is to
return to barbarism and to the idle
habits of their native land unless they
are made to laborundcr u compulsory
system. Hence the cultivation of
sugar will continue to fall off until
it shall cease to be the important and
valuable industry it now is. This has
been the history of this policy in all
the other West India islands in which
it has been adopted, 1t is admitted
that the abolition of slavery ruined
both the French and English posses
sions in those lands in which it was
carried out.
Cuba is the main rival of Louisiana
in the cultivation of Sugar. With the
destruction, or diminution of the
Cuban sugar crop, the cultivation Of
sugar in Louisiana will become much
more remuncrative than it now is,
and it is paying crop to-day, With
the increase in price an increase in
acreage will necessarily follow. We
may also expect new methods of man
ufacturc to be adopted, as also the
abandonment of the expensive system
Of Il sugarhouse for each planter, in
favor of a neighborhood sugar-house,
to which many planters can take their
cane to be ground.
With the impetus thus given to the
cultivation ofboth our great staples,
the prospects of future wealth to
our State are bright indeed. Immig-
ration should now commence to flow
in, and the prospective completion Of
our railroad lines should cause the
country to settle up with great
rapidity.

FIRE AT OSHKOSH.

OSHKOSH, Oct6.-About II o'clock
last night bright light was seen in the
direction of the exposition grounds. The
fire department soon reached the spot
and found the exposition buildings en-
veloped in flames beyond their power to
extinguish, there being no reservoirs in
the vicinity The buildings were COM
pletely destroyed, together with the grand
and music stands and every shed on the
premises, entailing loss of about $1,000
on the society, on which, however, there
was an insurance of $4,000, in the follow
ing companies: Western of Toronto,
$4,000; Lancashire, $4,000; Commercial
of London, $1,000 The loss to the Stock
Growers Association, which owned all
the sheds and buildings except the main
exposition building, will be about $500.
A few agricultural implements left in
the building were also destroyed. A
tramp named Hess was arrested on the
grounds, on suspicion of having fred the
buildings, and is now confined in jail.
He is a half crazy soldier, said to be
from the Milwaukee Soldiers Home.
Circumstances point very strongly to
him as the incendiary.

OFFENBACH'S FUNERAL.

PARIS, Oct. THE funeral of Jacques
Offenbach was celebrated at Madeleine
this molning with great pomp and cere-
mony. Although the weather was wet
there was an immense crowd, both inside
and outside the church, The hearse was
loaded with wreaths sent by the theatres of
Paris and ofnearly every European capital.
Service begun punctually at 10. Long
before the hour every seat in the huge
church was taken, and even the steps of
the altars were invaded by spectators.
The funeral procession was preceded by
detachment of soldiers with fixed bay
onets, who took up their position at the
altar. The music of the mass requiem
was sung by Faure, Talgac and other
great artists of Paris. Faure made
profound impression by his masterly
rendition of the 'Pie Jesue." During
the service several fragments of the dead
composers "Contes d. Hoffman" and
"Chanson de Fortunie,'' were executed.
The cortege left Madeleine about half
past II for the cemetery of Montmartre,
followed by large number of friends of
the deceased, among them nearly all the
! artistic celebrities of Paris.

INDEPENDENT GERMANS.
WHY THEY WILL VOTE FOR GARFIELD.

The German Independent Republican
organization of New York, has issued an
address, in English and German, an
nouncing the ability of it's members, af-
ter Conscientious examination of the
claims of the two parties, to support the
republican ticket at the coming election.
The address recites briefly the reasons
which have led to this determination;
they are summed up in the following
of the republican party, no less than the
well founded expectation that the splen-
did condition to which the country has
been raised under republican administra-
ton will last and further improve under
Garfield, justify this determination.
After reviewing briefly the history of the
parties during the war, the period of re-
construction, and since then to the pres
ent time, the address declares that there
are "no guarantees that the country will
not be drawn into state of uncertainty,
confusion, calamity and violence in case
the democratic party should be called to
take the reins of government. Nothing
approaches even any surety that we shall
not have to deplore events which would
destroy all achievements of the last twen-
ty years; which would fan into fame the
cinders of discord now smouldering under
the ashes, which would threaten the well
fare, the peace the liberty, and even the
unity Of the country. We do believe
that democratic congress, with even the
best democratic president, would intro
duce measures the tendency of which
would be against the Union, against the
last amendments to the constitution, and
against the prosperity of the country
The position of the democratic party
upon questions of state sovereignty, fl
nances, tariff and taxation is then re-
viewed, and the address continues:
'There are numerous signs that the
democratic party is contemplating to lay
many unsupportable burdens upon the
peoples shoulders. The claims for loss
of property during the war amount to
hundreds of millions now They would
increase to thousands of millions. 1t is
not improbable that it will be claimed
that the federal government should as
sumo state debts"

ELEPHANTS IN A FUNERAL PRO
CESST0N
From the Charlotte IN. c. Observ

From the Charlotte IN. c. Observer.
The funeral cortege which followed to
the cemetery yesterday afternoon the
remains of John King, the keeper OF
animals in Robinson's Circus, who was
killed yesterday by the elephant Chief,
was a somewhat remarkable spectacle.
The body lay in a magnificent casket,
and was carried to the graveyard in a
hearse to which were attached four hand
some white horses. Close upon the
hearse followed the two pet elephants OF
the dead keeper, Mary and The Boy,
whose stately tread in perfect time with
the dirge which the band was playing
seemed to indicate that the intelligent
animals felt the solemnity of the occasion.
The funeral ceremonies took place in the
Catholic Church, and the scene there was
likewise solemn and impressive. The
performers and laborers, fresh from the
shouts and glare of the circus, in their
rough everyday clothes, but with faces
respectfully cleared of the dust and paint
of the arena, were all present.

SOCIALISM IN EUROPE.

GENEVA, Oct. Tt is announced that
a Socialist congress will be held in Zurich
in 1881. Circulars have been sent to the
principal Socialist societies of Europe, in
viting their cooperation.
Berlin, Oct. 8.-From semi-official
notice in last evenings paper relative to
the rumored suspension of the minor
state of siege in such cities as Leipsic and
Hamburg, it appears the government has
seriously taken to heart the words of Count
Won Alenberg, Minister of the Interior,
at the debates in the Reichtag on the pro-
longation of the repressive law, when he
pointed out that were hotbeds of Social
ism apart from Berlin, and that the time
might come when there might be no
remedy there but a state at siege. 1t
also appears the demeanor and menace
of the Socialists at the late meeting at
Zurich have caused the Prussian govern
ment to consider the question afresh,
and have made it draw the serious atten-
tion Of the Saxon government and Ham
burg State to the necessity of taking
measures to guarantee the public safety,
though it disclaims all attention of ex-
ercising undue pressure on any federal
members, so as to constrain them to
initiate its example by declaring certain
cities in state of minor siege.
