CoLoRED MEN AND THE SIGNAL CoRPS.-During
April w. Hallett Greene, colored, a member OF the
class that will graduate this year at the College OF
the City of New York, applied to Gen. Hazen, chief
OF the signal corps, for enlistment in the service
May Sth Gen. HaZen replied, stating that Congress
by legislation had provided for the enlistment OF
men OF color only in two regiments OF infantry and
cavalry, and had failed to pass bills providing for
mixed enlistments, which he interpreted as an
iature, which he was nOt.at liberty to violate He
therefore dismissed the application. General Alex
ander s. Webb, president OF the college, to whom
Greene appealed, laid the case before Secretary
Lincoln, who on the 4th instant sent him a reply
advising Mr. Greene to make a new application,
and enclosing copy OF his [the Secretarys) en-
oorSement on the papers sent to Gen. HaZen. In
this endorsement the Secretary said that he could
to what is the public policy OF Congress in relation
to persons OF color being enlisted otherwise en-
poyed IN the public service, and that action should
be taken accordingly.

OPPOSITION TO PROHIBITION.

ayes" said the Widow FlapjacE,
who is chief executive officer of an
Austin boarding house, ''yes, l must
say I am very much opposed to
prohibition and closing up the sa-
looms, and all that sort of thing. It's
all base scheme against the best
interests of the hotel keepers and
landladies."
.'Why, I am surprised to hear you
express such unchristian sentiments,
and you u church member, too.
How do you make out that pro-
hibition is against the interest of the
landladies?
s'If prohibition goes into effect all
the saloons will be closed up and
then all the free lunches will stop.
Now, I've noticed that among my
young men boarders the dissipated
ones are the most profitable. Before
they come to dinner they always step
into the saloon and get sour beer OF
a schooner of toddy, or something OF
that kind, and they fill up on the
free lunch, and when they come to
the dinner table they don't eat hardly
anything, while the steady young
men who never drink just gorge
themselves. 0, my, you ought to
see 'em eat They just take the
profits off, and if it wasn't for the
free lunches and the "next morning
feeling that some of the borders
suffer from occasionally don't know
what we poor landladies would do
There'd be no profit in the business
Yes, l am opposed to prohibition fol
purely economical reasons"
And the Widow Flapjack sighed

The JAVA DISASTER.

Boston, December THE bark
William Ii. Besse and the ship
Anahuac arrived this morning, the
former from Manila and the latter
from Calcutta. The Besse had
voyage of 1876 and the Anahuac 1879
days. Captain Baker of the Besse
says his bark was directly in the
vicinity of AMER, Java, at the time
of the terrible disaster which killed
thousands and changed the face of
land in and around Sunda straits.
He left Batavia on August 10th,
and on the following morning at
daylight those on deck noticed
heavy bank of clouds rising from the
west and obscuring the sun. AT the
same time the barometer dropped to
29.40 and again suddenly rose to
30 20. All hands were called and
sail was taken off rs fast as possible.
Heavy showers of sand and ashes
then commenced falling, completely
covering the decks, masts and spals
to a depth of several inches. BY
noon it had grown darker than the
darkest night and began to blow a
hurricane, but, strange to say, the
remained perfectly smooth. Heavy
rumblings, like distant thunder,
were continually heard, and at in.
tervals the sky was lighted up by
lightning flashes. A strong smell of
sulphur permeated the atmosphere
and made it difficult to breathe. All
hands were affected by this awful
scene, and many of the sailors
thought the world was coming TO an
end. Throughout the gale the tide
set strongly to the westward and the
bark drove through the water at the
rate of fourteen knots an hour. AT
3. pm. the sky commenced to grow
lighter, but the ashes continued to
fall like snow.
On the following day the bark
entered the straits of Sunda and the
extent of damage done was plainly
to be seen. Whole islands had sunk
and those that remained had changed
in form. The north western part of
krakatia island had disappeared and
verbatim and Lang islands, hereto
fore covered with trees, were COM
pletely bare. The sailors saw very
large number of dead bodies. The
water for miles was covered with
trees and corpses. The sea for 600
miles was a field of lava. They eX-
perienced o hurricane from the
north northeast, with tremendous
sea, which lasted three days. Dur
ing this time the decks and cabin
were flooded with water and por-
ton of the bulwarks and everything
movable on deck was washed away
"The most fearful thing of all,'
said the Captain, twas the sea Of
corpses. For nearly three days we
came across body after body OF
persons who had lost their lives il
the earthquake. One man counted
sixty in plain sight at once. Thou
sands must have persisted. IS. Fl

Professor Peabody, of Illinois, al
luding to the fact that very large

ment are absorbed by railroads, settlers
or spectators says: "Long before the
next thirty years shall have ended, the

with Illinois land at fifty dollars an
acre." This statement has agreat deal

dering over sections that are only fit for
sheep pastures in search of farms and
homes, and it will not be long before q
refluent wave will bring the best of them
back to the older and better sections
that are now SO sparsely settled, while
Eastern immigrants will have learned
that the cheapest land is often the
dearest. Let no good farmer be de-

The complaint is made in New York
that the abolition of tolls on the canals
in that state has failed of the effect ex-
pected Of it, through the extortionate
charges for elevator service at Buffalo
and New York. These elevators are
owned or controlled by the railroad
companies and they make the charges
high enough to more than neutralize
the benefit of the. abolition of the tolls.
The repeated tolls amounted to a charge
OF $500, 600 a year upon the canal COM
merce: but it is said that the elevator
tax amounts to 81, 600, 900 a year on the
grain trade of the state. The canal in
terest is worse off, therefore, than be-
fore. It is asserted that the railroads
have injured the canal business to such
an extent that it is no longer done as
profit, and the boatmen are gradually be-
coming impoverished and disheartened,
and if the legislature does not interfere
to regulate the elevator charges "the
water route competition with the roads
will come at IN end as effectually as if
the Erie canal were drained and every
one of its 1000 boats lay rotting on its
banks"
