Color at the Inauguration Ball.
From the Hartford Times.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-There
have been many graphic pubic
sketches of the Inauguration ball, but
in none of them have noticed any
thing except general reference to
the presence of colored people. There
were in all fifteen colored persons
there, among them being ex-senator
Bruce, ex Governor and would be Sen
ator Pinchback, Robert Elliott, once
member Of the House from South Caro-
Ina, Robert Harlan of Cincinnati, who
follows running racing meetings for
living. and is known to all horsemen,
and three or four other colored men
who are less known, employees Of the
Government in THIS city. Each was
accompanied by his lady friends. AS
it appeared to them that they were
not being treated as we'll as they should
be, they formed little party of their
OWE and made up set for the first
dance, lanclers, about twenty teet
from where the Presidential set would
have danced had Mr.. Garfield con-
sented to take part. There they
remained al the evening, taking
part il every square dance that
vas on the programme. Some of the
younger Of the party-all of whom
we're mulattoes except Elliott and his
wife and one little black barber named
Ellsworth, who works IL one of the
hotels here-essayed to dance the
racquet, bnt somehow they did not
seem to grab the notion" and could
not make success Of it. Pinchback
busted himself escorting his wife
around. She is nearly white, and, like
Mrs. Bruce, is remarkably fine look
ing woman. Both are we'll educated
and have an intense weakness for dia-
uonds, as does Pinchback, who wore
a $4,000 "spark" in his shirt front.

Republican 'E:.wGuSEtoelf.

The Republicans bave succeeded
in organizing the Senate. It was
all along that the Demo
Gratis would be in the majority :; but
this expectation was founded on
the presumption chat Senator Ma
hone, Of Virginia, was a Democrat,
which turns out to be mistake.
Counting Mahone's vote the Demo
Gratis would have had 80 to the Re
publicans' 81. AS Malone has gone
over to- the other side the vote
stands SO to 3S, leaving the casting
vote in the hand of Vice President
Arthur, which means, practically, q
Republican Senate.
Malone became q leader in poll
tics during the Virginia State cam
paign. in 1880. He became the
leader of that branch Of the Demo-
cratic party in the State which op-
posed the payment of the whole
State debt, their policy being to
''readjust" the debt by repudiating
a large proportion of it: hence this
branch of the party was known as
"Readjusters'. In this fight the
negroes generally sided with the
Readjusters, simply because they
were opposed to the regular Demo
cratic party. On this issle mem =
bers were elected to the State
Legislature, and the Readjusters
had a majority in that body. They
elected their leader, Gen. VIM. Ma
hone, to the United States Senate.
Malone claimed all along that he
was a Democrat. But there have
been suspicious concerning his po-
litical principles for months past,
and his action in siding with the
Republicans caused more indigna-
ton than surprise.
The Senate was organized the
18th instant in favor of the Repnb-
licans; Malone, of Virginia, voting
with the Republicans, and Davis, OF
Illinois, with the Democrats, max
ing the vote 81 to 81, the Vice
President casting the deciding vote.
The following ale the Chairmen OF
some of the important Committees :
Privileges and Elections, Hoar, OF
Massachusetts, Foreign Relations,
Burnside, of Rhode Island; Fl
nance, Morrill,, of Vermont; Com
merce, Conkling, of New York
Agriculture, Malone, CT Virginia ;

day, while the daughter of a white
man named Cunningham was going to
visit a neigbbor mile distant, with
her little sister, she was violently as

the negro seized lightwood knot and
knocked her senseless.
The little sister ran for help and
the negro dragged the seuseless girl
for one hundred and fifty yards to a
swamp. She partially rallied and
made an attempt to scream when he
renewed his attack upon her. Hear
ing persons coming he made his
escape into. the swamp and ever since
has been hotly pursued. If be is
found he may have short shift.
The girl is lying dangerously i'll.
One eyeis almost beaten out, and she is
badly cut in the head. The outrage

place.

The County Teachers Institute.

The County Teachers Institute.
As will be seen by an ADVERTISE
ment in this issue the Teachers In
stitute of this County will meet at
the Court House the first Saturday,
being the Sd day, Of April. With
out presumiDg to instruct the
teachers of the County as to their
duty, we would earnestly call their
attention to the Importance Of their
attending these meetings and Of
making the Institute living, active
organization. It is impossible to
calculate the amount of good that
may be req ped from such an organ
;zation when the members take q
proper interest in it. The gather
ing together OF the teachers Of the
County, the interchange Of thought,
the discussion of methods and sys-
TENS of instruction and discipline,
and of all the other matters that
appertain to success in the school
room, cannot fail 80 be beneficial.
There is no teacher however &C
complished be may be that will not
learn something useful from an in
terchange of ideas with others in
the same profession. The teachers
of the County are engaged in a
work that will leave its impress
upon the rising generation ; upon
them depends to great degree
what manner Of men and women
the children who are now growing
up shall be. The teachers position
is very responsible one, and be
should bring to the discharge Of it's
duties all the training and al the
experience and knowledge that he
can acquire. He should neglect no
opportunity that tends to render
him a more success: full teacher.
We hope to see all the teachers
in the County at the next meeting
of the Teachers Institute, and that
interest Displaced by each that the
subject deserves.

The President has sent in the

position of Associate Justice Of the
Supreme Court. Mathews was
nominated by Hayes only month
or two ago; but the Senate very
promptly rejected the nomination.
The action Of the Senate met with
the hearty approval of the whole
country, for Matthews is known to
be unfit for the position. Garfield,
however, sends in the nomination
again. Matthews only quali6ca-
ton for the Office is that he is an

Feeding a Giant.
chang, the Big Chinaman, Making Res
tauraut Keeper Look Blue.
New York Sun.

4 restaurateur of Brooklyn lately
had for guest Chang, the Chinese
giant.
A S&n reporter happened to dine
at the restaurant several evenings ago,
and had Chang for nelghbor. 4
little natural curiosity led him to note
the bill of fare of the giant. First
Chang ordered oysters, raw, on the
she'll next, steamed oysters on toast
then green turtle and prirtaniere
<oups, and. after that, fish, including
oroiled shad, filet de sole, sauce tar
;are, and boiled salmon with lobster
sauce.
The reporter thought Chang would
stop there, but the giant politely sig
aifed to the attendant that he was
waiting for the next article on his
written bill. So he had for his &C.
trees Turkey wiugs, jardiniere, and
chicken croquettes and tomato sauce.
Then be attacked with gusto roast ribs
Of beef and balf chicken stuffed, &C.
companied by fried parsnips, sugar
corn, and boiled onions. He appeared
20 weary at this point, and mildly
asked for snail plate of plum pud-
ding, piece of apple pie, and a little
ice cream, to which he subsequently
added small cup of cafe noir.
The proprietor was noticed rumina-
ting in quiet corner and apparently
speculatiug as to the advisability Of an
early assignment for the benefit of his
creditors. To question By the re-
porter as to Cbang's wonderful appe-
tite, he replied with ao earnest sigh:
Don't speak of it; my gracious.
never have had such an experience.
When Capt. Bates, Barnum's giant,
was here l was astonished to see how
little food be required to sustain his
immense frame; but this Chinese
giant has the stomach of an ostrich
and the appetite of goat. Mind you,
these dishes are not of the order re-
ceived BY old diners-out, many of
whom have gone through With a much
longer list, but they are what We in
the business call full portions,' that
is, any one of the dishes eaten by him
this evening would satisfy the hunger
of an ordinary man. I don't want
any more giants if they are blessed
with the appetite of Chang. Why, I
contracted to entertain him at the rate
| Of 81 a day! Just cast your eye over
the bill Of fare and see what I would
receive for the same meal from my
regular customers"
The reporter did so, and found that
he would be compelled to pay exactly
1896 for similar repast.
The restaurateur continued:
"Now, you figure it up, There is
s5.95 for one meal. Well, he has
three other table exercises during tie
day, and one or :wo sbites,' as he calls
them. Then he goes to the bar,roon,
and to the inquiries of his manager
and others as to his health, replies:
"'I don't feel velly we'll; lost ap-
petite.'''

The Dead CZaP.

The Dead Gear.
Alexander II, whose life termi-
mated 50 horribly the 18th instant,
was born April II, 1918; he was
married to a daughter of the Duke
Of Eesse April 16, 1871; and as
cended the throne of Russia March
2, 1855. He was man Of kind
disposition, but lacking in moral
courage and in frmness. His de-
sire was to introduce more liberal
government in Russia and to anne
liorate the condition of the people.
His chief effort in this direction
was the liberation. shortly after he
became Gar, of 23,O00.000 serfs or
slaves, a deed that Will give him a
place in history IS one of the great
est henefactors of the human race.
He gave TO the people q taste Of
liberty, which led them to demand
more. He excited hopes in the
minds OF the people that he could
not, or did not, meet. Much dis
satisfaction arose; secret organiza
tions were formed throughout the
Empire whose object was to resist
tyranny. Efforts have been made
several times of late years to take
the life of the Gar. Since 1865 he
has lived in constant terror OF as
sassination.
The first attempt upon his life
was made April 16, 1865; a man
named Karakasof shot sc him with
a pistol as be was entering his car
riage.
The second was in Paris June 6,
1867; he was riding in carriage
with two of his sons and the French
Emperor, Napoleon III, when a
Pole named Berezowski fired 8 pls-
tol at him; in attempting to fire
the second time the pistol burst.
The third attempt was December
l, 1878; a mine Of dynamite was
exploded under a railroad train
near Moscow in which the Car
was supposed to be travelling. The
parties who had prepared the mine
were familiar with the movement
of the trains; a mail train was to
have passed over the road ahead OF
the Cars, but the Cars train
passed the other before reaching
the mine and went over first. The
would be assassins thinking it was
the mail train allowed it to pass
unmolested, but when the mail
train reached the place the mine
was exploded by means Of electrlcl,
t7 and the train was blown to
atoms.
The fourth attempt was April Il,
1879; while taking q walk be was
fred at four times by a man named
Skolof, who stood in a few PAGES
Of him.
The fifth attempt was February
IT, 1880; the dining hall Of his
Winter Palace was blown up by
dynamite; eight men were killed
and forty i've badly hurt. The
dynamite had been stored IN the
cellar and was exploded by means
OF electricity. The explosion oc-
Cured just as the Gear and the
royal family were entering the hall.
The sixth and successful attempt
was made March II, 1881.
The new Gar, Alexander III,
was born March 10, 1915; be mar
ricd Princess Dagmar, of Denmark,
sister OF the Princess Of Wales. He
is more popular than his father
was, and promises to make a good
ruler.
