Straight Out DEMOCRATS.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 24.-About fifty
colored delegates from various parts of
the Union arrived in the city to-day to
attend the conference of colored men
called by j. Milton Turner and others.
A circular sent out by Turner ~recites the
magnitude of the coming struggle be-
tween the two great political parties. and
suggests that it would be wisdom on the
part of the great body of negro American
voters to be an unknown quantity in the
present contest" The circular concludes
by stating that the conference is called
for the purpose OF consulting and CON
sldering upon whatr recommendations may
be decided upon as the best to promulgate
the interests of the colored electors of the
country. Let it be distinctly understood
that the proposed conference is not called
in the interest of any particular party or
individual, but purely of the negro"
This language of the call, which dis
tinctly foreordains that the conference was
to be of a political independent character,
was openly repudiated tonight by a large
majority of the delegates present, who
declare that they are here as negro Demo
Gratis and not as Independents, and at a
meeting of the preliminary organization
committee tonight Turner and his sup
porters were denounced by the straight
out Democrats ana u voted on all ques-
tions Of organization. Charles Fl. j.
Taylor Of Kansas City, ex-minister to
Liberia and editor of the Public Educator
Ia Democratic journaD. led the Demo
cratic wing at the committee meeting,
seconded by Gordon Street, an attache of
the Boston Herald. They were opposed
by Turner and George Fisher of Virginia,
who represented the Independent wing.
The meeting finally broke up in a row.
Street made personal charges against
Turner: when the latter picked up a chair
and attempted to assault Street. but was
prevented. The Democratic faction car
ried the day and declared that they
would organize tomorrow as a Democratic
negro conference and exclude Turner and
his followers from all participation.

"Our Young Folks Reading Circle
Is the name Of a new organization
formed for the purpose of promoting
good reading among boys and girls.
Among its board of directors are William
II. Rideing, Mrs. Livermore, Miss
Frances e. Willard, Professor J.. w.
Stearns, DR.. Bascom and the Rev.
Lyman Abbott. 1t has also a board of
counselors, who, with the board of di-
r~ectors, must pass on all books before
they are approved. This is a capital idea,
and it is to be hoped hat it will succeed.
Now let an association be formed to tell
grown up people what books to read and
what books not to read. Many of them
need directions on this point as badly as
the boys and girls. New York Tribune.

PARIS. July 24.-An American lady
named De Narny, who is ignorant OF the
French language, was arrested a little over
a week ago at the Arc de Triophe on the
charge of being a pickpocket. After
three days confinement she was liberated
and told that her arrest was a mistake.
Having forgotten her money and jewels,
she returned to claim them, when she
was rearrested and sent to the prison st.
Lazere. There she was kept one week in
company with the vilest OF men, and her
repeated demand to be taken to the
United States consulate was ignored. The
magistrate failed to have the papers trans
lated and did not apply to the United
States consulate for information concern
ing her.

AS l approached the landslip, / saw a
number of brown monkeys rush to the
sides and across the top of the slip, and
presently pieces of loosened stone and
shale anne tumbling down where l stood.
l fully satisfied myself that this was not
merely accidental, for / distinctly saw
one monkey industriously with both fore
paws and with obvious malice prepense,
pushing the loose shingle off the rock,
/ then tried the effect of throwing stones
at them, and this made them quite
angry, and the number of fragments
which they set rolling was speedily
doubled.
This, though it does not amount to
the actual throwing of objects by
monkeys as a means of %offense, zones
very near to the same thing, and makes
me think that there may be truth in the
stories of their throwing fruit at people
from trees. At all events, the general
statement that the act Of throwing
things is never performed by any animal
except man is certainly not correct, as l
have myself seen recently captured ele-
plants project branches of trees with the
design of hitting persons out of their
each.-Traveler's India Letter.

hen anything stands a test of fifty
years among a discriminating people, it is
pretty good evidence that there is merit
somewhere. Few, if any, medicines have

BRANDRErH' PILLS, which, after trial
of over fifty years. are conceded TO be the
safest and most effectual blood purifier,

That this is the result of merit, and that

by the fact that those who regard them

AS the growing season approaches it

Care must be taken to not only furnish

farmers who are likely to come short

too small Iatlons, and thus little by

Amen waterproofing process In use

Il nel1 waterproofing process In use
IN Germany for treating woolen and
half woolen fabrics consists in treating
them with a solution Of 100 parts OF
alum. 100 parts OF glue, parts OF tan
min and parts of soluble glass. The
alum Is dissolved In a moderate quaint
ity of boiling water, the glue is stepped
IN cold water until it has absorbed
twice Its weight of water, and is then
melted by heat. The tannin and solu-
bic glass are well stirred into the solu-
ton of glue, to which the alum solution
is then added. and the whole is well
stirred and allowed to cool. The gela-
tineous mass is employed as follows ::
One kilo of the mass Is boiled for three
hours IN 10 TO 10 litres of water, fresh
water being constantly added to COM
pensate for evaporation. The bath is
then allowed to cool to 500 centigrade,
and the material to be rendered water
proof is kept in it for half an hour,
then withdrawn, and the moisture is
allowed to drip from it for several
hours Finally the cloth is stretched
on frame and allowed to dry at a tenn
perature of Sc. The cloth gains con-
siderably In weight and is perfectly
waterproof, though it impedes neither
air nor respiration.
