Some of the colored people at the South
seem determined to let their Republican
friends at the North discover exactly
what sort of a political element they are.
A few days since we noticed the fact that
a colored man of Stanton who signed a
call to get Hon. III. Fl. Stuart's views
on the political situation, had to Call on
the Mayor for protection from some
rouehs of his own color. Now, we see that
the colored ministers of Atlanta. Georgia,
having signed a request to Gov. Colqnitt
and Senator Brown to address the colored
people On the situation, are being persecu-
ted by some of the rougher class of
Negroes. Rev. Jerry NJ. Jones has had
to call on the police for protection. and
Rev. Robert Grant has been forbidden to
appear in bis pulpit. If Mr.. Blaine wants
to find first class vote suppiessor let
him hunt out the Negro bull dozars of
the South. 1t is but fair, however, to say
that this class are in large measure con-
fined to the most ignorant Negroes OF
least repute, and that those who have any
weight IN the community of which they
are members, are of a very different sort.
Our Roekbridge cotemporary, tie Ne,os,
is fulfilling the predictions We made for
it, and is proving to be live local paper
giving full attention to its county news.
It is on the sure track to success, and its
industry and energy will reap its reward.

CATHOLIC BISHOPS.
Important Action Taken by the Pie
nary Council Regarding
BishODS.

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 1O.-The Press this
afternoon publishes the following concern
ing the third plenary council lately held at
Baltimore:
'sAt the recent meeting Of the arch bish-
ops of America, in Rome, suggestion with
reference to the election of bishops was
made and was acted upon at Baltimore.
Heretofore. at the demise of bishop the
vacancy was filed in this manner:
The bishops of the province would
meet and select three names for the
vacant bishopric aud forward them to Rome
with endorsements to each Of the Dignissu-
mus (most worthy, Dignion (more worthy,
and Dignus (worthy), and in most cases the
candidate recommended as Dignissumus
would be chosen. The propaganda author
tiles supervise these episcopal appointments
and the disciplinary appointments of the
church. But the fual approval comes from
the holy father himself A decree was
adopted at the late plenary council that here
after new mode of entering bishops
will take place. Heretofore q bishop
OF the diocese had full power TO
remove priest from a parish, aud priests
had no voice whatever in selecting a candi-
date for bishopric. Hereafter each bishop
will appoint a court of consuitors composed
of six priests of his diocese. This court of
priests will be irremOvable. They will have
power to try the cases with the bishop and
each member viii hold this very important
Office for life. Besides this ten per cent of the
priests Of the diocese designated by the bishop
will be made reetOrs aud their passionate shall
be irremOvable. After being selected, the
bishop will be pOwerless To relieve them ex-
cept for cause, after trial. In the selection
OF consuitOrs the bishop may choose from
among the rectOrs, or may appoint other
priests. But whoever are appointed remain
as such for life, The mode Of electing a
bishop will be as follows:
On the demise of that dignatory the rec
tors and cOnsultors of the diocese will meet
and send three names to Rome. Then if
the bishop Of the province object to one or
more of the names in the priests
list, the bishops can forward
the objections, or, if they chose
can make up entirely different list and
send it to Rome. Rome then passes on the
whole matter. But few cases could arise in
which the bishop of a province would be
likely to interfere with the will of the priests
In diocese in the appointment of their own
bishop. This system attaches great deal of
Importance 10 the position Of rector or coun-
sellor. The bishops are said to have concluded
that IN each province they will throw their
united support in favor of one of the Catholic
papers of the province. 1t is also said that
the bishops Of the United States desire to see
two Catholic dailies established, one at New
York and the other at Chicago.

THE MAN WHO SLAVES HIMSELF.
The BEGINNING and The End of &c.
cincinnati Enquirer.

''You see you need two razors to shave
then you need an extra pair for use while the
others are being put in condition. A sharp,
keen-edged razor is an actual necessity to a
man who cares at all for comfort and a good
scientific stropplng every time after using,
with an occasional honing by an experience
ed hand, are the only means by which razors
may be kept in this condition. II is curl
GUS fact that man will cut himself ten
times with dull razor where he won't bring
blood once if he follows my advice and lets
me take charge of his steel. Now, can get
you four dandy razors for 500"
''That's enough; you are barking up the
wrong tree. don't want any razors, and l
don't want you to take charge of the one /
have. But, honestly, now, suppose took
your advice, how much would 1t cost me to
shave myselff'i
The tonsorial artist was not pleased with
the interruption, aud for fully twenty sec
onds he lathered and shaved without speak
ing 4 word, by his dignifed carriage plainly
intimating that if the journalist wanted TO
do all the talking he would not interfere; but
he presently relaxed far enough to answer
the question, and after being assured that his
victim had no money, he gave the whole
snap away about as follows:
''Oh, there's no money in shaving your
self il you follow my advice, of course; it
comes high, but the boys, as a rule, don't
mind that. When one Of our bloods goes to
Europe and comes back with a veneer Of
English polish all over him he generally tries
shaving himself for a short season, not TO
save money, but in order TO be as nearly
like an Englishman rs heaven viii let him.
OF course, such men are fools; most young
men are. l thought you belonged in that
class, and so 1 was trying to ring in our
usual game on you.
"The boys generally make great prepare
tons at the beginning, spending from 500
70 $50 on a shaving case, including razoIs,
mugs, brushes, soap, powder, bay rum and
court plaster. They know no more about
handling razor than a monkey knows about
Greek, and in consequence the blades are
down here for imaginary repairs two or three
times a week. We look over them, and if
they are all right we give them turn or two
on the strOp, and send them home along
with little bill. The bows soon find that
they can't shave themselves with any degree
OF smoothness; and so on special occasions
they drop in here to be polished off in a re-
spectacle style. This grows on them, and
before q month is over they generally have
shaving kit for sale, which we buy at about
one-fOurth its original cost. So you see when
boy begins to shave himself it is generally
fun for US, but-well, rather extensive for
him IL he is a fool, which, as said before,
most Young men are.n

To the Editor OF the Globe.
MINNEAPoLIs, Dec. 9.-''For the poor al
ways We have with you" So It's true to-day,
as it was eighteen hundred years ago, always
was, and while the common standard re-
mains the same, ever will be.
There can be no doubt that most Of the
restitution affecting the poor results from
improyidence, vice and crime, and could be
obviated were society disposed 10 deal with
delinquents as as it should and could. Were
the suffering limited 10 the delinqents ii
were less a matter of concern to the chart
tably disposed, and the true Office of charity
were very much circumscribed within the
range at present defined by the necessities
and suffering Of the innocent and helpless
Those who are unable TO help themselves,
should have the aid OF society; and yet in
the bestowment OF charity, there should be
discrimination and system. The innocent
should be provided for ere they are reduced
TO a condition of suffering, while all who be-
come reduced through their own IMPROVE
idence and vices should also be aided, but
with compulsory industry when able TO work
All able bodied offenders should always
have trial without unnecessary delay, and on
conviction, such as are confined should be
compelled 20 earn their living by some use
ful labor suited TO punitive restraint Charity,
yagrancy and our criminal system should
receive earnest legislative attention as Of
first importance. y. I. HAUsER.

The Beoaar Student.

The Thompson Opera company closed a
half week season at the Grand last night in
the ''Beggar Student" The opera is bright
and interesting in libretto from first TO last
The situations are perhaps its best feature.
Mr.. Thompson's company is not especially
strong in any single particular. He has
adopted that innovation of presenting opera
without star. Hence he has selected re-
markably evenly balanced company. Mr. yke
has pleasing baritone voice and good pres
enee, and is at times quite dramatic, in the
title role. Miss Louisa Manifred's is high
and strong soprano, Mile Gaillard has a
happy and sweet meZzo soprano, and Miss
Hall, while not strong vocally, is charming
soubrette; Mr.. McCollin is a clever comedian
and Mr.. Glover fair tenor. The opera was
handsomely mounted and exquisitely cos
tuned.

New YORK, Dec. I0.-A medium sized
middle aged man, with hair turning gray
and dressed like merchant answered &c
the name of William Balfe to-day in the
special sessions court. He was s son of
Michael William Balfe, the celebrated singer

assaulted his former landlady. The land.

mony, said Balfe only paid her portion OF
the rent, and that when she ordered him
TO leave he and his wife and daughter as

there was pretty lively time at the house.
Mrs. Thompson's son in law took Balfe's door
off the hinges and tried to take out the win
dow in their room. Balfe showed Mrs.

retain possession without legal process. The

An Escaped Jaguar.

DAYTON, o., Dec. 10.-Last evening Bar
rett's circus passed through this city on its
way east, but was stopped by a burnt rail
road bridge near Enon, seventeen miles
from Dayton. A monster jaguar escaped
from its cage, and was not heard Of by its
owner, j. l. Shoemate, until this morning
The beast, finding itself released, fed rapidly
across the country, alarming the people who
were up late last night, stampeding cattle,
wounding many, killing aud sucking the
blood of others. About midnight the
beast had reached the vicinity
Of Dryden's mills, five miles south
OF this city, where a farmer, Vim. Lesher.
was awakened by great eommotion in his
hog pen He got up, with neighbor, took
gun and lantern, and found a dead hog
and the iaguar killing another. The rest Of
the hogs were squealing, dashing against the
pen and trying To get out. He shot the ami
NAL in the hind parts. II jumped at the men
and chased them in the house. It then took
drink and fed down the pike. The whole
country is alarmed. A hundred men wit h
rifles and sidearms searched for the animal
all night. At daylight two women signaled
distress. Some men FASTENED to their relief,
found and shot the jaguar dead in an out
house OF DR.. Whist, az Alexandersville.

A Gander that Danced.

music from an ACCORDION. A flock of geese
were feeding in the road just below the house,
and with outstretched necks answered back
with loud notes of satisfaction. Soon a white
gander commenced dancing lively jig, keep
ing good time to the music. For several
minutes he kept up the performance, TO the
great delight Of the company. The expert
ment was tried several times for a week or
more, and the tones of the accordion never
failed to set the old gander into lively
dance.-lPopular Science Monthly.

Dress Not stnf..I Ynnttu.

Ruskin is the first great writer who has
treated the subject Of dress with due gravity
He has shown US that serious study thereof
is q needful virtue, instead of sinful vanity
and that harmonious and well constructed
gown is as much work of art as picture or
statue. Neither can it be argued that the
work is mean, since it is to adorn human be-
ings, who are, after all, natures masterpiece
es- His words are but the expression of an
opinion held By all artists from time imme-
mortal, and indirectly expressed by most of
them. For there is neither drama nor paint
ing in which costume, both as to color and
drapery, does not form an all important ele-
ment, and there are few impressive scenes
in our works of fiction in which the dress is
not mentioned. The unconscious tribute to
its significance is not only due to the realis-
tic force of such description, but also to their
power in expressing character.-[ American

ceded that the ladies have presented a list of
attractions for this fair surprising any at
tempt of a similar organization in this city,
and the patronage that will reward them for

at all hours. "The Nicollet avenue minute
coffee man" is on hand to make cups of de-
licious coffee for the thirsty, and this feature
is being thoroughly appreciated. Mrs. J. F.
Carter presides at the postoffice, andif a lady
is to receive the Minneapolis Office under the
new regime, she will have many friends TO
advance her claims. At the head of the hall
is an evergreen tree filed with choice It'd
bits containing fortunes TO the lucky

Ellis, finds her services in con-
slant demaDd. At the extreme
