JULES VERNEs GREAT STORY.

. CHAPTER XXII.--CONTIEUED.
Passepartout had certainly had the
foresight to breakfast as heartily rs
possible before he left the Carnatic;
but after walking around for p day he
felt that his stomach was very empty.
He had noticed that sheep, goats or
pigs were entirely wanting at the stalls
of the native butchers; and as he
knew that it is a sacriiege to kill
beeves, kept only for the needs of ag-
ricnfture, he concluded that meat was
scarce in Japan. He was not mistaken;
but in default of butchers meat, his
stomach would have accommodated it.
self very well to quarters of deer or
wild boar, some cartridges or quails,
some poultry or fish, with which the
Japanese feed themselves almost ex-
clusiyely. with the product of the rice
fields. But he had to put brave heart
against i'll luck, and postponed to the
next day the care of providing for his
nourishment.
Night came on. Passepartout re-
turned to the native quarter, and wan
dered in the streets in the midst of the
many-colored lanterns, looking at the
groups of dancers, executing their feats
of agility, and the astrologers in the
open air gathering the crowd around
their telescopes. Then he saw again the
harbor, relieved by the fires of the fish
ermen who were catching fish by the
light of their torches.
Finally, the streets became empty.
To the crowd succeeded the rounds of
the patrolmen. These officers in their
magnificent costumes and in the midst
of their suite, resembled ambassadors,
and Passepartout repeated pleasantly,
each time that he met some dazzling
patrol:
GOOD. good! Another Japanese

Editor Mansion:
Dear Sir-I see published in
your valuable paper two or three
different times, articles concern
ing the Mosaic Templars. The
articles referred to are of such
character as to have aroused the
people to an enthusiasm OF think
ing of organizing temple in this
city. From what we can deduce
from your paper we believe the
order a good one, and Of benefit
to us as a people, especially when
we find such men as j. E. Bush,
G.. w. Keats and j. III. johnson
at its head, and so valuable a pa
per or journal as yours furthering
its cause. L say valuable, be-
cause [ have read nearly all the
journals in this country published
by coIored men, and tor wit, hu-
NOR and sound sense, know that
there is no journal in this coun-
try that excels it, the proud Cau>
casian notwithstanding. We find
the editor rs we find no other
colored editor in this country.
First, at the nations capitol
consulting the president, next
with our Caucasian editors visit
ing Mexico, and finally at St.
Louis in convention with the col
ored editors, equal to any and
cxcelled by none. In fact think
the colored people throughout the
length and treadth of the Union
need to be proud of our Editor
Simkens, and especially us IN
Arkansaw.
But | have left the subject mat
ter, so [ return to it. Will you
please, IN your next issue, give us
a complete history of the Mosaic
Templars, together with its bene-
fits to its members.
The crops are doing we'll IN
this section of Arkansaw. The
colored people are happy as usual,
with a merry dollar for old Santa
Claus.
We have elected as delegates to
the State Convention, A. Nj.

ceive them cordial y.

Who is McCatfery, and what
good is he to the community.
Why should so much time and
testimony be produced on his ac-
count. If we must answer the
question, it is only to show that
he is bad character and ia bet
ter off at the convict farm. but
where the trouble comes in, he is
a white man. The white men
made the convict farm law and
they should be made to help
share its consequences, and they
will then see the necessity of re-
pealing 1t at the next session of

ROBERT ROAM KICKED TO
DEATH.

Personally appeared before me
Robert Grindrod, a justice of the
peace of Big Rock Township,
Pulaski county, Robert Mahoney
and says on oath, that he was
working out a fine on the convict
farm of Gabe Myers, about the
1st day Of August, 1888, and that
he is personally acquainted with
Charles Roam, the man that was
reported to have died by being
sun struck Or overheated. and
says that Chas Roam did come to
his death by brutal treatment, as
he saw Charles Hale one of the
guards at the convict farm beat
and kick him in the face and
body until he could not move.
THIS was about three or four
o'clock, on the same evening
Roam was dead. 1 stood by and
helped Roam in the correction, and
after he had been whipped he was
taken to the guard house or stock
ade and there he died that night.
There was quite number of 9th
er convicts that saw the same as
[ did. There was considerable
excitement that nj ght about the
killing of Chas. Roam, and tbs
next day the inquest was held by
