Logan,s sFour-Year-Old Admirer.


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-Gen. Logan is
immensely delighted with a letter he re-
ceived a few days ago from a gentleman in
Little Rock. The writer, whose name is
True, began by saying that he had two
boys aged respectively and Z years. The
younger is rampant Republican, and the
elder is an equally strong Democrat, to
which party his father also belongs. One
day last month, while the children were
at Sunday school, the superintendent, in
the couIse of his remarks, referred to
the scriptural phrase, ''Publicans and sin
ners." Instantly the younger boy sprang
to his feet and shouted: "Hurrah for Black
Jack Logan. He's a publican and so am
T." Mr.. True closes his letter by saying
that he is an officer of the city government
and wonders if he will in the future be
.classed as an offensive partisan" Gen.
Logan says there are few incidents in his
public career that afford him more pleasure
than the loyalty of his juvenile Arkansas
friend.

HIS STAMP GAVE HIM AWAY.
Route Agent Sykes in Trouble for Alb
stractiDg "Razzer'' from the Mails.

James A. Sykes, bright mulatto in the
employ of the postal service as a route
agent on the Brunswick and Western
Railroad, was before United States Com
missioner Beckett yesterday charged with
stealing shaving set from packet that
was passing through the mail. The war
rant was sworn out by S. S. HartsAOrne,
United States Postal Inspector, before
Commissioner Haskin, of Macon, and
charges that the offense was committed
about March 4, 1884. The fact, as ascer-
tanned by News reporter, shows that at
the time the alleged offense was COM
mitted Sykes was running as route agent
between Brunswick and Albany. The
package. containing small lamp
and a shaving set, was mailed in
Cincinnati, and was addressed to
5. ). Love, Gardenia, Ga. The mail was
put of at the latter place, and the Post
master now recognizes Sykes as the man
who was in charge of the mail that day
and put of the mail pouch. Mr.. Love re-
ceiYed the package soon after it arrived
at the post office, and upon opening it
found that the shaving set was gone, and
/ found some old papers and Sykes stamp
as route agent with his name on it on the
inside. The articles had been abstracted
and the package so carefully put up again
that the fact that it had been opened
could hardly be detected.
SYKES was arrested Thursday at Macon
by Deputy Marshal NJ G. Hall ,and brought
to Savannah Friday. He gave bond
yesterday, with Simon Gazan as security,
for his appearance for a hearing before
Commissioner Beckett, Feb Z.
Sykes claims that the whole affair is
put up job on him, and that the package
was opened, the shaving tools extracted,
and his stamp placed in it by an enemy.

A few afternoons ago as one of the
ocean steamships passed along the
wharves on her way to her berth, a NEWS
reporter overheard the conversation of a
group of eolored men on the subject of
travelling, probably elected by seeing the
passing vessel. They were apparently of
the class who work along the docks.
and one was first rate talker,
and, as would appear from his
remarks, close observer of his colored
brethren. Combating the views eX-
pressed by some other one Of the party,
he said: Il tell you, cOlored people amt
like white people no how .Dere is something
dey do like 'um, but dey don't know what

elling; he know where he is going and

Capt. r. G. Fleming, Superintendent of

position. In talking with a NEWS repor-
ter last night, he said II found the
crowd much larger than I anticipated. l
spent three days on the grounds and
found a very good show indeed in all ar
ticles Of manufacture, and numbers of
States well represented in their various
products. Many exhibits are superior to
similar exhibits at the Philadelphia Cen
tennial. This can be accounted for
frcm the fact that with the Ameri-
can people eight years of progress
is an age. l believe every Southern man
should visit the exposition and should feel
a deep interest in it. The lovers Of horses
will find it much to their interest to visit
the horse show which IS commented upon
in very high terms. There is very fine
exhibition OF nearly every breed of horses
known, among them the Norman. which
is something new to our people. The only
drawback | saw to the exposition was the
mode of getting to the grounds, which,
however, is being improved daily. ana
satisfied that the management is doing all
in its power to make it a success. As far
as accommodations are concerned l am
convinced that by timely correspondence
any one can get such accommodations as
he may DESIRE"
