 An article in the Voice, a leading prohibi- tion organ, charges that the negro voters in I Georgia are responsible for the recent prohi- ! bition defeat in that State. It further charges that the negro voters are ignorant, ' immoral and purchasable. These charges l are met by flat and most emphatic de- | nial from the New York Age, which is one of the ablest organs of the colored race. The Age says that 'the people who manufacture the whisky of the South and drink the most of it are white people" and that "the people most interested in sustaining the traffic are the white people,"
 A man in Denver has 8 collection of over seven hundred pens, no two alike. Some are of steel, some gold, some amalgam and so on. There are pens pointed fine enough to make lines of microscopic delicacy, and others intended for men who use the first personal proneun great deal in their cor respondence. These are of the stub variety, and make a mark, when required, such as a tar brush would. The collection embraces specimens from England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany and other European countries, be- sides America and Canada. Some are in shape like shovels, others resemble stove pipe.
 One of the most cemmendable bills which will be brought to the attention of congress this winter is the one which Senator Dawes has reported for the improvement of the management of Indian schools. The essea- tial feature of his measure is the vesting of perintendent, subject to the approval of the secretary of the interior.

 mediocre in figure and inperfectly formed. Prince Wilhelm has a crippled arm. The fingers are mere knobs. In the Hussax uni- form there is pocket, and he wears it be- cause the three fingers of the helpless mem- Der can be hung in the pocket. Otherwise it hangs awkwardly and helpless in it's sleeve. His horses are especially trained ,and before the prince is to mount are ridden three-quarters of an hour to wear them down. He can just manage to hold the reins. We were together in a country house. I looked with our hostess at the fork with which he eats. It is of silver and not conspicuously different from others, but fixed to the under tine there is a sharp, small blade. What the prince cannot cut with one hand and with this blade he does not undertake to eat. The right hand and arm are large and of extra ordinary dexterity, but the little finger is de- formed by growth which the prince only imperfeotly concesls by wearing rings up to near the third phalange.
