Sentences of the Rioters.

Judge Adams has imposed quite severe
sentences upon those Of the Yamacraw
rioters who have been convicted. They are
not too severe, however. The crime of
which they were convicted is a very grave
one. and swift and severe punishment is
likely to have tie effect of preventing 1t
from being committed soon again.
Interference with an officer in the dis
charge Of his duty has not been re-
gs-ded at all times in this city as
serious an offense as it really is, and it
is not improbable that for that reas n
roughs, both black and white. attack an off,
Ger of the law almost MS quickly as they do
one who wears no badge of authority. Tn
aim should be to create a wholesome re-
pect for the police 81 that when they appea
upon a scene of disturbance there will be
manifested at once disposition to yield to
Them.
The Yamacraw rioters doubtless intended
to kill the policemen whom they attacked
They are guilty OF two Demonstrating
an officer and attempting to commit
murder. BY the time they have served
their sentences they will be willing to
respect the authority OF those who preserve
the peace.

Mr.. Armour Enjoyed the Joke.

P D. Armour Chicago's millionaire meat
packer, loves to crack a joke once in a while
with his employees, and appreciates it all the
more should the mirtn tables turn at his own
expense. He was very much surprised the other
day, however when he was politely but firmly
told TO vacate his own packing house.
Come, come, )" said the man in charge, sup
posing he was addressing stranger. no one is
allowed in this department but those regularly
connected with the establishment. How did
you get in here, anyway"

You mean the gentleman who just went
out?"
Yes, him.
why. you numskull, that is Mr.. Armour
THE devil you say. just ordered him out
Of here"
half hour later the man had occasion to
report to his employer.
That was nice trick you played on me-
calling him by name said Mr.. Armour, with a
merry twiakle in his eye. 1T has come to a
pretty state when a man gets the bounce from

Presbyterian Union.

There is not much probability that the
committees OF the northern and southern
branches Of the Presby terrain church,
which were appointed some time ago by
their respective synods to present basis
upon which the two branches could unite,
and which met in New York on Friday.
Will reach an agreement. The only differ
ence between the northern and southern
Presbyterians relates to the admission of
colored people into the church. The north
ern Presbyterians are inclined to think that
a refusal to admit colored Presbyterians on
an equality with white members is incon-
sistent with the principles of christianity.
The southern Presbyterians contead that
they understand the color line question
much better than their brethren of the
north, and that they must be permitted to
settle it for themselves
This matter was discussed at great length
in the last northern Presbyterian synod at
Philadelphia and the last southern one at
Baltimore. The difference between the
two, which cropped out in the discussions,
was very marked, AID both were firm in
maintaining their respective positions. The
northern Presbyterians are undoubtedly
sincere, but they cannot speak on the color
line question from practical knowledge Of
it. There is. no probability that the church
in the north will ever be invaded to any
great extent by colored people. There ara
very few colored people comparatively in
that section, and there is no prospect that
thoir number will come sufficiently large
% arouse whatever prejudice there may ex-
ist there against them The northern
Presbyterians, therefore, can insist upon
what they consider the christian view Of
the question at issue without any fear that
hey will ever be troubled with color line
complications.
The southern Presbyterians, on the other
hand, know that if they should agree to
union on the LASTS that the northern Pres
byterians propose, they would have trouble
at once. The colored members, as they in
creased in numbers and wealth, would in
sist upon privileges which the White NOM
bers would not grant. That, of course,
would destroy al harmony in the different
congregations The church in the nth,
instead Of lourishing, would soon begin to
show signs OF decay. The white people,
affairs wholly at variance with their feel
ings and desires, would abandon the church
altogether.
TIE Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterians'
all divided on questions connected with the
co!ored people, and they are likely to re-
main divided ~ long as the RAGS problem
is unsolved. If the northern Presbyterians
are really anxious for union with the south
ern Presbyterians, they will not insist tha,
the southern branch of the church shall
receive colored members on an equal foot
ing with white members As long as they
hold that position there viii be no union.
OF course union on basis satisfactory TO
both would be beneficial to both. Only one
organization would then be necessary, and
all church work would be carried on under
one management. Thee would at once be
great reduction of expenses, d, at the
anne time, an increase OF force in building
up the church.

The Bride Smiled.


An amusing incident occurred at the union
depot yesterday afternoon. and furnished fun
TOR large number OF passengers. A rather
modest-looking groom and his pretty bride were
sitting delightfully."- close together, and were
going through some of those lovab.e little
antics which newly married couples alone can
affect. Two young men were sitting Just oppo-
site waiting TO welcome some sweetheart on the
Incoming train. The boys watched the caresses
Of the coupls for awhile. but finally decided to
put q stop TO IL.

other, when is your wife coming homer"
Never. hope" replied the young man ad-
dressed. ri wish she would elope with some
one or the train would run off bridge with
her. BY the way, when is your wife coming
homer"
Pretty soon. am afraid. When she does,
have good mind to meet her at the depot with
An ak and give her and that Internal kid ten
minutes to leave i'll. wife is nuisance, any
way"
The young men kept up this nonsence for
half an hour, and the loving couple knew that
all of the conversation was intended for their
ears. 1t tickled the bride immensely, but the
groom got hotter and hotter, and finally called
one of the young men aside and threatened to
whip him. This had the effect of stilling the
fun permanently, and the exultant groom
bravely put his arm around his treasure and
hugged her until the train carried them away

The Tanor,a emotion.

From the San Francisco Arqonaut.
About 1850 the famous tenor Mario was at
St. Petersburg singing in company which
numbered, among others, Lablache, and his
daughter, then only girl, bus who afterward
became the celebrated Mile de Caters. One
day, in some opera, and during the usual duo Of
passion, to her Amusement aud in iignation she
so low that the words reached only her own
ears: MIA cara Mia BELLA Ama me! 10
t'ddc roi'' So offended was she that after ieav-
ing the stage she refused to listen to the tenor's
explanations and refused to sing with him
again.
Some days afterward. however, from the
wings she heard Mario sing the same duo, and
assumed the abandoned role. Again did the
tenor fill In his RESTS" with the same impas-
stoned whispers-"Mid cara 10 t'ddoro!" Then
she understood. The burning avowals were
only means of keeping himself en- train of re-
tanning the emotion necessary for the continu-
ance of his role.

Some Of the New York papers seem to
think that the travel to Florida this winter
will be very greatly decreased, on account
of the recent yellow fever epidemic in Jack
sonville. They say ticket agents OH Broad
way are kept busy answering questions
about the Bermudas and Bahamas and
about Southern California. Why should
anybody remain away from Florida be-
cause there was yellow fever in some parts
OF the state last summeri There is no fever
there now, and tourists would run no risk
whatever in going there. Florida is the
most pleasant and convenient point for
seekers after a warmer climate, and to re-
main away for the reason indicated would
be absurd.

How Laird Saved Himself.

Few congressman who come to New York are
better known than James Laird of Nebraska.
When here he is q welcome visitor at the lea J.
ing clubs. Upon a visit here recently he was a
guest ut the University Club, and he told there
how he saved himself from losing a renomina-
ton to congress four wears ago.
He had tarried in Washington until Within
few days OF the convention. In the meantime, sew
eral opposing candidates had appeared Laird
represented a cowboys district. Ono of the
opposing candidates had become exceedingly
popular with the gentlemanly beef jabbers, :"
who seemed 20 hold the balance of power.
Upon his arrival, however, Laird started out
for one Of tho round-ups. The cowboys change
a good deal during each year, and Lard found
that about half of them were strangers to him
He was dressed in the latest style, and the
strange cowboys concluded that he WAS a dude
Among others who shared in this belief was a
cattle herder who had lately arrived from
Texas. lie made all sorts of fun of the CON
gresham, and fina ly became offensive.
Laird resented this treatment, and challenged
the man to duel IL was arranged that they
stand OIL 100 yards aud exchange shots at each
other with pistols The cowboy fired first, and
the three shots be aimed at the statesman
missed the mark. Then Lairi prepared to fire.
Now, said the congressman, Il will not try
TO kill you upon the first shot, but VIII try TO
send bullet through the crown Of your hat"
He did Just as he said and then coolly re
marked TO the now trembling cowboy that the
next bullet would pierce his right eye. Before
he had time 10 carry out what he bad said the
boy begged TO- mercy.
81 took you for dude, but you have proved
yourself thoroughbred" exclaimed the cow
II will lot you OF" said Laird provided tha;
you will not treat the next woil-dressed man
you meet a. a dude
The fellow promised; and the incident made
the cowboys solid for Laird.

A Little Goes a Long Way.
From the Richmond pispotch tpe,,. ,


Some of the southern papers are discussing
the question of opening up The Indian territory
to negro settlement, with view to segregating
the negroes from the whites of the south. The
principal objection to such a scheme is found in
the fact that the southern negroes wouldn't
settle in the Indian territory. or any place else
where they would be segregated from the south
ern whites Every now and then we hear of an
exodus Of southern negroes TO some western
state, but in course of time all who can manage
to do so come back home. A little experience
In segregation, or with the kindness of their
northern friends, goes a long way with the
southern negroes

Wall Street Promoters.

Wall street is the home Of the promoters
There are hundreds of them there. They
are ready to promote anything which prom
ises a handsome return on money inves ed
in it. Apparen ly they are plilanthrepists.
They show great anxiety TO help SO nebod,
or some section of country. They do not
speak about benefting themselves. They
talk only of promoting some one elsss in
crest. They buy railroads and consolidate
them in order to develop tho country
through which the roads run, AMI promote
The interests of the people thereof. They
form st OK companies to promote new in
ventions, or TO develop mines, manufactur-
ing and agriculture. 1t turns out, however.
hat their chief object is to promote their
own interests.
A few days ago some of the Wall street
promoters concluded that they would pro-
mote tie automatic cotton picker. 1t
seemed to them TO be a good thing, and
they thought they saw millions in it. The
Inventors wanted l,000,000 for it, and
tue promoters were disposed to give it. The
automatic cotton picker did spleadid work
on a smooth floor. 1t picked cotton, advaa-
,ageously arranged fur it, III way thai
made the hearts of the promoters glad.
They thought they saw chance to aid the
south. They wanted to be sure they were
not mistaken, however, AMI so they sent
the machine to cotton field in the south to
nave it tested on the rough ground Of
cotton field. Alas! the rough ground
knocked the hopes out of the inventors and
promoters There was dismal failure, and
now the promoters are looking for some
hing else to promote.
