man. That alone would be but an
empty tub thrown to the whale. They
ought to ask of their Radical friends
to give substantial evidences of their
sincerity. There are plenty colored
boys in the Northern Republican
Districts, SO that the Congressman
can appoint them in preference to the
whites.
With Howard at West Point, there
is no excuse for keeping colored CO.
diets out of that National school.
Let the man and brother have his
chance while the Freedman's Bureau
runs the machine.
Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1881-01-01

While a number of the cadets had
availed themselves Of the short furlougt
usually granted to those who desire tc
spend the holidays in the family circle
larger number had remained at the
University. In view Of this, President
Johnston caused dinner to be served in
the large dining hall at 3 o'clock P. NJ.
Besides the cadets, the President and
the Commandant, Hon. s. N. Robertson,
there were gathered around the festive
board, the vice-President Of the Board
Of Supervisors, Hon. Leon Jastremski,
the Treasurer, Harvey Skolfeld, ESQ.,,
the Secretary, Wilmot H. Goodale. Esq,
Professors Thos. D. Boyd and Calhoun,
the latter the Secretary to the President,
and Mr.. Conerly, the Instructor in the
Agricultural Department.
Mr.. Jadot, the Majordomo, had ca
tered well for the occasion, as was evil
denced by the quality and the variety
Of dishes and desserts that graced the
prettily arranged table; a sight which
seemed to excite his just pride, already
wrought up by the three hearty cheers,
which the cadets had given him during
the forenoon, in appreciation of his sue
cessful efforts in conducting the commits
sariat Of the institution.
At the close of the dinner, appropriate
toasts were offered in turu by Messrs.
Jastremski, Johnston, and Goodale,
which were received with loud applause
by the cadets, who responded through
their COmmandant, Mr.. Robertson.
The want Of space forbids us from
giving synopsis Of the sentiments ex-
pressed by the several gentlemen; yet,
we cannot omit to mention that portion
of President JOhnston's remarks, where
in he said, in substance, "that at the
close of the unfortunate struggle for
Southern independence, he had deter
mined to devote his energies towards
the education of the youth of the South.
1t was not, in financial point of view,
a remunerative pursuit, but his heart
was in the cause, especially towards
Louisiana. to which State his father
Gen. Albert Sydney Johnston, owed his
military education at West Point,
having been appointed cadet from the
Parish of Rapides. Though it might be
held that his sire had repaid by his SER
vices, the debt he had contracted to-
wards the State, he, Col. Johnston, felt
that he owed it to Louisiana to which
he was bound by those ties, as well as
by those Of marriage, to do all in his
power in disseminating knowledge
amongst her sons. He promised the
Cadets to labor faithfully for their ad-
vancement and in perpetuating a Uni
yersity of which they and the people
would be proud. F..
Thus was the afternoon of Christmas
pleasantly spent at the University.

RECONsTRUOTING WEST POINT,

General Schofeld, the soldier and
gentleman, is no longer to be Super
intendent of the West Point Military
School. The Conscientious and frank
utterances contained in that portion
Of his report which refers to the
Whitaker comedy were Of too manly
and patriotic a character to suit the
demagogues who, by fair or foul
means. have contrived to retain the
reins of government in their hands.
1t matters little to the Republican
schemers whether the training school
of the Army is inquired i'll its
usefulness, or the just pride of its
graduates be lowered
The colored voter must be retained
within the fold. Hence have they
found it necessary to pander to his
preiudices. TO this end General o.
0. Howard, whose name is linked
with that hyprocritical swindle, the
Freedmen's Bureau, has been assign
ed to the post so honorably filed By
Gen. Schoheld. & n
From the radical standpoint How
ard is pre-emincntly the man to fill the
position.
BY this time, the words of the Ger
man soldier of the Eleventh corps,
who, after it's crushing defeat at
Charlottesville, by Stonewall Jack
son, swore that
1--WE fight nit SiegeI
But wc run nit Howard
have almost been forgotten. Besides,
if Towards name was the by-word,
then, i'll illustrating au inglorious
rout. has he not won greater laurels
since as the head of the Frecdmen's
Bureaug
Everybody i'll this country knows
that Howard is not proud man and
that in consequence of the humility
of his nature he has never believed
himself "better than niger
The apostles of miscegenation will
applaud the action of the commander
of the armies, in appointing so prom
inent a champion of social equality as
Howard to direct the social and mill
tary training of the young cadets
through whom it is hoped the color
distinction will finally be effaced.
1t only remains for the Republican
Congressman of the North and South
TO appoint colored cadets to West
Point, instead of whites, to make this
forward movement a brilliant success.
The colored voter shouldsnot allow
himself to be duped by the simple APP

battle Greek <A1ich.) Cor Chicago Inter Ocean.]
Frequently the question is raised as to
whether dumb animals have instinct suf-
ficient to enable them to count. Anec-
dote upon anecdote has been raised to
show that they have sufficient intelli-
gence or instinct to enable them to per-
form this function of the brain. As a
case in point, VIC will relate the expert
ence OF George Andrus, an extensive
farmer of Gogoac Prairie, and one who
has had much experience in stock-raising.
He recently stated to the Inter Ocean
correspondent, as a most singular fact
that his drove Of cattle always knew on
what days they were to be salted. It
has been his custom to give them salt at
the barnyard every Sunday morning dur
ing the spring, and once in two weeks or
every other Sunday morning during the
hot weather.
This the cattle have we'll learned, and
during the spring they will come up the
lane regularly every Sunday morning,
and stand there believing and make a
great noise until they are salted, when
they will return to their pasture lot,
which is some distance away. This they
do regularly every Sunday morning, and
never make the mistake Of coming on any
other day. The same fact is still more
strange in summer, when they only come
up once in two weeks, and not oftener.
This fact is offered as one more going to
prove conclusively that certain classes of
animals have sufficient brain to enable
them to count, and also memory for at
least two weeks, and even longer in many
other animals, as, for instance, the ele-
phant, which has been known to remem-
Der and vent it's wrath upon it's enemies
years after some real or fancied injury.
Darwin is at liberty to make as much
or little out of these facts as he can;
however, they cannot be denied, they do
exist.

(From the Philadelphia Ledger.]
The cause of nine-tenths Of the fires

missioners. Of II, 500 fires 1900, or
about one-fourth, were caused by gross
carelessness in throwing away matches,
lights, cigars, hot ashes, etc. Another
fruitful cause Of fires. due to neglect
rather than actual carelessnese, was that
Of foul chimneys. Coal oil lamps caused
1,287 fires, and children playing with
matches, 8S7. Over 900 fires were
caused by window curtains being fred
by gas jets, and several hundred were
due to ignorance or carelessness in
building fues and furnaces and erecting
stoves. A great deal of the money lost
through these fires might be saved if
everybody could be made as careful in
preventing fires as they are ready to
help in putting them out after they have
been started. .-.~,.
