An extremely dignified, elderly bache-
lor, who was wild in his younger days
but who has been choice blossom of
propriety for these many years, lives at
eur house this winter. There is an ancient
stovopipe hole through the wall which
divides the bachelors room from an un
occupied one, which hole is covered and
hidden with wall paper. and tho bachelor
knew not of Its existence. He had made
II few bets on the election, as 10 the cus-

collected those bets and treated tho

years. Hence II Is not at all strange that
upon this occasion he became rs "gl0r-

late hour he came home in what had
been his normal nightly condition twenty
years before, and stumbled up to his
room, Now, 1t so chanced that there
was visitor in the unoccupied room that
night, the gaslghts whereby shone
dimly into tho bachelors room
through tho paper which covered
the round stoveplpe hole. The
bachelor saw that light at once aud
gazed at it with eyes Of horror. Terror
stricken, he ran with boyish speed to a
friends room. and bursting the door, he

Lime water, even when closely

AFTER tho election there was an out
burst of prOtestation of good feeling to-
ward the colored man all along tho
democratic line. Its general tenor was
such that the millennium seemed close by.
President Cleveland would protect him
in all his rights, and the party at large
felt its collective bosom in red-hot
glow Of friendship for him. 1t appeared
that the traditional regard of the repub
lican party for the colored man was mere
humhug compared with this newy-de-
veloped affection Of democra cy. But
somehow the futile Reagan interstate
commerce bill has shown that democratic
regard for the colored mans rights has
certainly undergone another sudden
turn, the turn being backward into the
old channels. 1t is rather odd, after all,
that tho noble southron will
eat food prepared by black
hands, be waited upon at the table by
black servants, suffer his children
to play with negro children-nay, has per-
haps in his infancy drawn his life nour-
ishment from some fond old black
'mammy," and yet, despite all, when it
comes to allowing u black mans money to
secure the same privilege upon public
conveyance that his own money buys
straightway he revolts. The Reagan bill
is not likely to became law. but it has
served useful purpose in showing that
democracy still keeps up its ancient
haired of the negro, and not evsn the
polite hona of winning the nnlnred vote
can induce rock ribbed bourbonism to lay
aside its prejudice long enough to en-
brace an excellent opportunity to score
a good point in the line of its late eager
professions. That, too, when common
sense would point out that the oppor'
tunity had occurred in connection with q
measure sure of defeat in tho senate,
