COMMENTS AND GNssIP.

The Baltimore Tindicator has taken
a bold and manly staiid for recognition
A newspaper that will talk right out
boldly and openly. and demand full
recognition for colored men, is worthy
of support: There is good logic and
plenty of good manly common sense
in the editorials of the last Tindtcator
on this point. We wish abundant Sue
cess to our neighbor.

Capt. Plea 'ant retires from the ruilec-

holding public office ever had Il
harder time, but we are proud to lie able
to SLY that he has deborted himself like
4 mdti and Will retife without d blem-
lSh upon his official character
The desperate effort made by his en-
emies to tarnish his record has utterly
failcd, We are TRULY thankful that
this is so while we deeply regret h Is re-
tirement.-Geoygta Baptist.

Useful Elephants.

In the town of Maulmain, in Bur
nah, the whole business of moving
timber is done by elephants. There are
many large timber-yards at Maulmain;
indeed, it has always been famed for
its exports of teak logs, which are cut
in the forests upon the banks of the
Salween, and then flOated, sometimes
hundreds of miles, down to the capital
In these timber-yards elephants are
employed in drawing, stacking, and
shifting the immense teak logs, some
of them weighing as much as two
tons.
A log that forty men could scarcely
move the elephant will quietly lift
upon his tusks, and holding it there
with his trunk, will carry it to what
ever part of the yard his driver directs.
They will also, using trunk, feet and
tusks, pile the huge timbers as evenly
and correctly as one could wish. They
will select and pick out particular tim
bers from the center of stack or heap
of more than hundred simply at the
command of the driver. The huge
beasts are directed by the mahouts, or
drivers, by spoken orders, pressure of
the feet on their necks, and by the use
of the aubus, or elephant goad.
1t usually requires year OF a year
and half to teach them the lumber
business" and when thoroughly taught
they are worth from 500 rupees (s250)
upward, according to their abilities.
Sometimes an animal breaks his tusks
through, being forced to carry an ex-
cessive weight by stupid or brutal
driver, though the elephant knows his
own power, and generally refuses to
lift more than his tusks can safely
bear. If these should be broken off
close to the head, death would ensue.
if only cracked, they are hoped about
with iron bands, and are thus rendered
serv1eeable for many years. Young

A Red Letter Day for Augussa's Lastls

GODDESS of dolldom With her Aaxen locks and
baby blue eyes waved aloft her jeweied
wand and summoned together party Of the
fairesi and loveliest OF her subjects 1t wal
supposed to be . wedding party. A table
had been prepared in the hall and spread
with one of the daintiest little carpets tina,
was ever seen in dOlldom. Over its damask
surface were strewn howrets and SPRAYS Of
evergreen. On this sumptuous carpetng the
wedding guests reveled and the hvmeneal
fires burned brightly. Under . tiny floral
bell of pure white pinks, in all their wedding
finery, stood the groom and bride. From the
brow of the bride floated q gossamer veil and
her satin train swept the floor with becom-
ing granduer. The groom in strong contrast
with his bride, was q red headed antiQuated
specimen of humanity and was generally
sneered at Among the relatives of the
bride was an ancient grandmother of doll,
that had seen Is summers. The mother was
stately dowager of so, and % years of doll
life sat lightly on the shoulders of bloom
ing sister. The varied beauty of the invited
dollies wa. fairly tantalizing to the specta-
tor. There were dolls of every size and
fashion; dolls with blonde, powdered, black
red and white hair; dolls with no hair at all ;
dolls with black. red, hazel and laughing
blue eyes; dolls with blushing red cheeks
and rosebud lips; dolls of japanese, Mulatto
and Gypsy pedigree; dolls in long clothes.

and velvets deliberately made up.

maidens were in a continual futter of excite
ment and they romped and chased each other
hther and thther in a whirlwind of childish
glee. They went into ecstasies over the
dollies, laughing and sporting as children
only can. 1t was a most successful party
and the only one of its kind ever held in the
