Steadily Growing Weaker.

The reports of the condition of the Ger
man Emperor are very much like those
which were furnished to the public during
Gen Grants illness. One day they have a
hopeful tone, and another they leave the
impression that the disease is steadily pro
crossing toward fatal termination. There
is no doubt that some days the Emperor is
so much better that hopes are excited that
his life may be prolonged for good while,
but careful study of the bulletins shows
that his strength is steadily failing, and
that each time he rallies from
period Of prostration the point
reached in his recovery is much below that
of the previous ons. 1t is doubtful if any
one Of his family now entertains hope of
his return to health All that Is possible to
lessen his sufferings is being done. At times
he suffers intensely. One report says that
in his agony on one occasion no tore the
sheets of his bed into pieces
He is very patient. He realizes his hope
less condition, and seeks to comfort those
dear to him. He can scarcely make himself
understood, and he seems pleased when his
signs and whispers are comprehended.
The Emperor is a noble and good man.
1t is not strange that the German people
love him. Gentle and kind, it is doubtful
if he has ever deliberately given any one
pain. What plans he had formed for the
advancement of his country, and what
hopes he had entertained of increasing the
happiness of his people when he was look
ing forward to the time when he would be-
come Emperor, and before he was stricken
with the terrible disease which now has its
grasp upon his life
He may be resigned to his fate, but how
can he help longing to live9 In the prime
of life, and the Emperor of great nation,
1t would be strange indeed if he did not cry
out against the relentness fate that pre-
sents the grave to him instead of a long
and brilliant career as the ruler of mighty
people.
The Emperor is said to be fond of farm
ing aud TO love simplicity of life, and no
doubt he often thinks of the hard working
farmer, who finds it necessary to labor
from daybreak till dark to provide for his
family, and envies him his lot Suffering
and death are the lot of kings as we'll as
peasants.

Trying to Scare Colored Voters.

The Northern Republican newspapers
and politicians, who are constantly assert
ing that every colored voter in the South
is Republican, should study carefully the
statement of the New Orleans Progress, a
newspaper conducted by colored mon, and,
also, that of the chairman of the Demo
cratic Parish COMMITTEES Of Rapides parish
relative to the course pursued by many
colored men in the recent Louisiana cleo
ton. The Progress says that thOusa nds
upon thousands of colored voters cast their
ballots for Gov. Nichols, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, and the Rapides
Democratic chairman gives the names Of
prominent colored men, formerly active
Republicans who voted the Democratic
ticket. In the face of such testimony as
this, it would hardly benefit the Northern
Republican leaders to continue to assert
that the colored voters of the South are all
Republicans, and that the reason they do
not vote is because they are prevented
from doing so by bulldozing methods
The actual situation in the South is this;
A very large proportion Of the colored
voters now act with the Democratic party,
and very much larger proportion don't
vote at all, not because they are prevented,
but because they are Indifferent.
1t is quite safe TO say that not half the
colored voters in the Seventh South Caro-
lima district-the one which Smals wants
to represent-are registered or will register
for the next election. They don't register
for two reasons: First, because they don't
want to lose the time that it requires to do
so, and they are not sufficiently anxious to
vote to lose the time that it requires to go
to the registration office; and, second, those
of them who have a little property, and
the number is quite large, don't want to get
ON the tax list. If they don't register they
are very apt to escape the tax collector.
1t is said that a report has been circu-
lated in the Seventh district which causes
the colored voters little uneasiness 1t is
that if they don't register they will be ar
rested and compelled to pay a fine of S.,
and that those who cannot pay it will be
locked up in the county Jail for thirty days.
Thisreport could have originated from only
one source, and it shows how desperate the
methods are to which the Republican poll
ticiaus resort to retain their hold upon the
colored voters. The colored people, how
ever, as rule, are shrewd enough to inquire
of white men in whom they have conf
dence whether they can be compelled to
register or not, before allowing themselves
to be influenced by the report. There is no
reason to doubt that Col. Elliott will retain
his seat in the present Congress and be
reelected

They Will Never Kiss Again.

From the Kansas C1tg NetCS.
Two young Kansas City hearts that formerly
beat as one are not on that beat now. A rain
storm caused it all.
He was visiting her house some time ago, and
just as they had kissed each other good might so
many times that they had to begin all over again
to count them he suddenly said:
My! it's rainingl Lend me your ear, please,
for must hurry home"
Without stopping to think, she imagined that
he wanted to borrow her ear for an umbrella
and she slammed the door right straight ia his
face forever and forever, amen.
She was sorry as soon az she had done it, for
she afterward interpreted his true meaning
He wanted to make believe whisper to me,
and then kiss me again. What shli do? What
shli dos"
But he was mad. He was mad clear through,
both ways.
Every day after that. as he passed the house,
she fiattened her nose against the window pane
to see if he really and truly would come back.
He saw the nose. Yes, he saw that nose that
he had so often kissed as she lodged him, but
he was mad, and he sent her long letter tell
ing her that she ought to wash her window, for
somebody had thrown piece of meat against
it, and it had been there for week.
They will never kiss again.

Ex-Gov. Bullock writes to the Augusta
Chronicle denying that he will be the Re
publican candidate for Governor next fall.
He says the pleasure of again voting for
Gen. Gordon is in store for him, and adds:
I'm addressing an assemblage of business
men from the North and West l said, and
now repeat it, that the negro is safer under
the present State Democratic admnistra-
ton than he would be under Republican,
because the latter would be regarded as
alien, and would not command the willing
support of our white people," No doubt
the Republican newspapers will charge
Gov Bullock with being Democrat, and
it must be confessed that what he says is
truthful enough to have come from Derl-
ocrat

The pavement on BroughtOn and Con
gress streets gives such general satisfaction
that the Council could not do more popu-
lar thing than to pave other streets. The
owners of property on those streets would
not have it removed for twice what it cost
them, and the general public appreciates it
fully as much as the property owners.
For month or more the dust along the
unpaved streets has been almost unbearable.
On Bull street, the principal promenade, it
has been so great at times rs to cause that
street to be avoided to a great extent The
dust from the unpaved streets, it must be
remembered, is of the most dlsagreeable
kind. By many it is regarded as productive
OF various diseases. 1t is loaded with a
century of impurities, and as it finds its
way into the lungs it is not improbable that
it produces throat and lung troubles.
The Council has money with which to do
large amount of paving this year If it
IS not spent in that way it may be appropri
ated for other objects, from which the pub
lie will not receive as great benefits. 1t
may be said that the Sanitary Board would
object to any disturbance of the streets
during the summer. It would hardly
object to such disturbance as is necessary
for laying a pavement. 1t is necessary
to remove only the surface of the streets
The vehicles disturb the soil to almost as
great a depth as it would have to be for a
pavement.
There is another reason why paving
should be done in summer A great many
1aI Of,
until September, and would be glad to OBJ
tain work at reduced wages The cost of
paving, therefore, during the warm season,
would be less than in the winter. There is
no doubt that the paving that has been laid
has helped the CITY in many ways, and it
can be predicted, with considerable degree
OF certainty, that in proportion as the
streets are paved, the prosperity of the city
will increase
The Council has shown a good deal of
public spirit in the last year or two, and
the improvements it has made in different
parts of the city are appreciated. 1t ought
not, however, to rest on its laurels. 1t ought
to try to YIN new ones.
If it proposes to go on at once with the
some INQUIRIES into the merits of brick pave
ment. This kind of pavement is gradually
growing in favor. 1t would not be a diff
cult matter for the Council to get full and
reliable information about it. Quite a
number of cities have tried it, and are so
well satisfied with it that their engineers
have ne hesitation in recommending it.
Brick pavement would be- q good ono for.
this city, because the bricks can be easily
obtained, and it can be put down at price
much less than that of asphalt If reports
concerning it are reliable, it is as durable
and as noiseless as asphalt, and is prefera-
BILE to a pavement of that kind in hot
weather, as it does not reflect the sun to
such an extent as that does. 1t does not re-
'quire an expert to lay it. 1t can be laid
under the direction of any competent en-
gineer

certain fort in the far West, so the story
goes, was in command of Major of artillery
who WAS constantly lamenting that his favorite
arm could not be more frequently used against
the Indians. Finally one day he took one of
the small howitzers, which defended the fort
and had 1t securely strapped to the back of an
army mule, with the muzze projecting over the
animals tail With this novel gun carriage he
proceeded in high feather with the captain and
sergeant to bluff on the bank of the Mis-
souri,, near which was encamped O band of
friendly Indians. The gun was duly loaded and
primed, the fuse inserted, and the mule backed
to the edge of the bluff The Major remarked
something about the moral effect the exhibition
was likely to produce upon the Indian allies and
stepped gayly forward and applied the match
The curiosity of the mule aroused He

Why Edmunds is Displeased

Senator Edmunds is reported to be
greatly displeased because his friend, Mr.
Phelps, the American Minister to England,
was not nominated for Chief Justice. The
Senator would like to control appointments
under Democratic, as well as under a Re-
publican administration. He will have to
abandon the idea that his wishes ought to
be consulted when judicial appointments
are to be made, whatever the political com
plexion of the administration may be.
simply because he is chairman of the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee. Perhaps Mr.
Phelps would have made good Chief JUS
tice, but the President thought that Mr.
Fuller would make better one. 1t is GER
tain that there would have been great
deal of opposition to Mr.. Phelps. His course.
since he has occupied his present position,
however correct it may have been, has
made him enemies, and they would have
used their influence to defeat him.
That the nomination of Mr. Fuller is a
wise one is shown by the fact that COM
paratively nothing is being said against it.
There is very little TO be said Mr.. Fuller's
ability and integrity are admitted, and his
record is spotless. Some of the Republican
journals are trying to make it appear that
he was not as pronounced in his attitude in
favor of the Union during the war as he
ought to have been, but they can make no
capital out of that A few LAWYERS in
Washington think that he is not sufficiently
well known, and that no has not had enough
experience in cases involving great consti-
tutional questions to be entitled to the high
est judicial Office in the country. He is
certainly as well known as the late Chief
Justice was when appointed, and his repu
tation for legal ability is fully as great. 1t
will not be said that Chief Justice Waite
was failure in any respect.
The truth is, that the President could not
have made a wiser selection. Mr.. Fuller.
as far as now known, will be confirmed
without opposition. If any other one of
those who were mentioned for the place
had been nominated, the opposition, in all
probability, would have been very marked.
and, perhaps bitter. 1t is SAID that the
President never seriously thought of
appointing any of the other Candidates.
except Mr.. Carlisle, and Mr. Carlisle is
needed where he is.

A young lady of Des Moines, Ia, has
demonstrated the ability of the fair sex to
climb trees. 1t was after this wise; The
other night she arose in her sleep, attired
herself in light summer apparel, slid from
upstairs down post of the portico, caught
and saddled horse, and rode to the Gem
etery. Here her hand came in contact with
a briar, and she awoke. A, moments re-
Election brought her to a full realization of
her situation, and she fled toward the near
est house, before reaching which, however.
she was chased by several dogs. She was
frightened nearly out Of her wits, but it
seems that enough sense remained for her
to climb tree, from which she was soon
rescued by friends Thisis quite remark
able case of somnambulism.
