a COLORED REVOLT.
Their shack1es Are No Easier For Being
Republicans

Republicans.
The New York Star, of the 10th,
under the above head, declares that
the Southern brother is bound to make
trouble for the Northern born of the
Republican party during the next
Congress. A couple of influential
negroes have circulated the following
petition and received thereto numerous
signatures
To The HON. II. CHEATHAM, NJ. c.:
DEAR SIR-As members of the
colored race of the Republican party
we respectfully urge you who, under
providence, now stands as the sole
representative of our race in Congress
hold yourself aloof from the caucus
Of the party in relation to the organ
ization Of the House Of Representa-
ives, and to take such position as
will compel the party leaders to re-
cognize our race and section in an
equitable manner. We hold the bal
ance of power in the United States
and we look to you for the proper
handling OF that delicate but omni.
potent weapon for our advancement
for securing us proper election laws,
the passage Of the Blair Education
bill and of the Brown Internal Rev.
enue Repeal bill. It matters naught
to US if we must wear shackles
wheather they are forged by Repub-
Leans friends Of the North or bv our
Democratic opponents of the South,
and we insist that you shall WELD
the entire political force of the color
ed race independently of both parties
for our common good.
Cheatham represents the black dis
tirct of our State and is among the
disgruntled with the Administration.
He and Brewer are said to be riding in
the same boat. The petition was circula.
ted by H. G. Gussam, of Edenton n.
G. and George of South Carolina.
"Gussam was a delegate to the last
Republican National Convention and
claims to have been an original Harrison
man. George is one of the richest
negroes in the South. He is said to
be worth $500, 900, and pays taxes on
$4,000. George was a candidate for
q. S. Marshal for South Carnlina, but
Harrison selected somebody else for
the place. George spens his money
freely in politics, and'is. backing Tom
Miller, who will contest Elliott's seat
in the next House.
The negro idea of holding the bal
lance of power is not giving much COM
fort to the Republican bosses, but
there is every reason to believe that the
negroes are in dead earnest"

Stands" the Raleigh Chronicle, Of
the 9th inst, in giving summary as
to how the editors of the State stand
on the GRIssoM INVESTIGATION
puts the FIsHerMAN AND FARMER
as "In favor of Grissom's Remain
ing" in charge of the Insane Asylum.
We have always been opposed to
Grissom's being in charge of the
Asylum. We were with Coke and
others who wanted him removed In
IL and IA and we are with that class
of Democrats who believe that there
is no Republican worthy of public
trust, that outside the rank and file
of the Democratic party, UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES should we go to
find men to fill the appointments Gre
ated by law, matters not what said
appointments may be or, what they
may require. We said in years be-
fore, and we say now, if the Demo
cratic party contains not medical
man of sufficient ability to manage
the Asylum. God help the Alstons,
Fullers, Foots, Satchwells, Win
borns, Haywoods, Hines, Youngs,
fuckers, Cheathams, Booths, and a
host of others, we might mention,
worthy names who have maintained
the dignity of their profession and
added lustre to their honorable and
most virtuous calling. In years gone
bv, we had occasion to say what we
now repeat with pleasure: "Ihe
success of our Insane Asylum, while
largely due to DR.. Grissom, is not by
any means his exclusively to boast
of. If to individual effort and per-
sonal sacrifice anything is specially
attributable then, to DR.. Fuller, as
much as to any one else, having
connection Herewith, is the institu-
ton indebted for all it is and all it is
worth to the unfortunate as well as to
the cause of science" While we
believe that DR.. Grissom should
have been removed and ought to be,
now, removed, we do not believe in
removing him upon charge involving
personal, private character which,
for the most part and the worse
part, were not fully proven and
which cannot, by any possible COM
mon sense reasoning be justified.
From the published evidence, there is
not a Jury of twelve men in North
Carolina, drawn as jurors are drawn
or, were ever drawn in the history
of Justice, and charged as jurys are
charged in the Superior courts, that
would have returned verdict of
guilty on ali the counts in the indict-
ment preferred against him. Believ-
inc this to be true, we can but indorse
the action of those Directors whose
votes were for acquittal. But, with
all, believing as We do, politically,
we would send DR.. Grissom from the
Insane Asylum, never to return there
save as a patient or, casual visitor,
before tomorrow night. To the vic
tors belong, not the spoils, We don't
like the word, but, the honors, places
of trust and endowment and we be-
lieve in giving to those to whom
giving is only due.

A GOOD WORD FOR THE PUEB-
Los

There are III existence nineteen tribes
and all live in the northern half Of New
f'exico except Moquis, who are just
over the line In northwest ArizoBa-4UO
miles east of Fort Yuma. Pueblo is
tribe name, as much as Ute, and is never
applied to any other TRIBE. There is not
in the whole Southwest an ignoramus SO
monumental as to class Navajos, Apaches
or Yumas as of the Pueblos. No PGeb-
los ever dwelt in wooden hut or tepee'.
They dwelt in adobe or stone houses,
and very neat, wholesome and comfor-
table ones. They are the only Indians in
the country who do. They have not
abandoned any social laws. No Ameri-
can community in existence is 80 we'll
governed as a Pueblo town. There is
no such thing among them-nor ever
has been-as thief. They elect their
officers by ballot yearly. The Pueblos
are not paupers in a land Of wealth, but
are invariably in comfortable circumstau-
ces. The population of the villages runs
from 100 to l, 500 and each village owns
from 10, GOO to 10000 acres of land, the
arabic pant being held in severalty. I'm
der the sacred pledges of the treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo, these people are
entitled to full citizenship. They are
the best class of people in the territory.
They are short, as a rule: but almost in
variably of superb physique; and as for
brains, the average tourist certainly does
not oversize them. They are always
modestly and picturesquely clothed, and
a more modest race does not dwell in the
two Americas.

The Speech Was Not Made.

A man who gets the reputation as a
good after-dinner speaker is usually
one who has power to tell a story well.
1t may not always be a very new story
or very witty one, but if it is well
told it is almost certain to be success
full at dinner party. One thing is
fatal in such an attempt-prosiness
Sometimes, however, a success is won
in not telling story when it is ex.
pected, in not making a speech when
people suppose that one is coming.
A certain famous and witty English
man, visiting America was asked to
make an after-dinner speech at the
ladies' night of Boston club. 1t was
a literary club and he was literary
man, SO it was expected very naturally
that he would glorify his profession
and that of his hearers. Instead OF
doing so he rose gravely and, with a
serious glance at the fruits of the

repeated, Il come not-here to talk"
All eyes were turned toward him.

People began to laugh, seeing that

II come not here to talk" said he,

modest gesture of depreciation, 81

The Name of Iowa.

The state derives its name from the
tribe known now as the Iowa tribe.
Much learning, or at least research,
show the photography and definition
of this word among the Indians them
selves. While Washington Irving,
with the license allowable to an imag-
NATIVE writer, states that the meaning
of the word is beautiful" and re-
counts the incident by which that
phrase was first applied to the country,
saying that the tribe who in their wan
behring's arrived at the highest point in
the Iowa prairies, looking over the
vast eXpanse of country uninterrupted
by hills or swamps, Involuntary ut
tered the word Iowa." meaning "beau-
tiful." But probably better authori-
ty for the meaning of the word was
Mr.. Antoine LIE Claire, half-breed
of the Sac" and "Fox" nations, who
always asserted humorously that he
was the first white man born in Iowa,
though his mother was an Indian. He
was employed for many years by the
United States as an interpreter in their
dealings with the various Indian tribes.
His definition of the word was, Here
is the spot-this is the place-to dwell
in peace 1t is very certain, how
ever. that the name of the state, and
the name of one of its secondary riv-
ers, running through large part of
the centre of the state, is derived from
the name of the tribe.-Mr. Justice

FIGHT WITH A BLACK SNAKE

NEWARK, n. J., Aug, 24.-Philadel-
Record: Paul Smith, Waterman at the
Detroit wire works, at Belleviile had a
fight with black snake over six feet
long last night. Smith had club in his
hand, and was carrying lantern when he
first saw the reptile. He struck at it
with his club. The snake lodged the
blow, and instantly cnrled itself around
the club and pulled it from the watch
mans hand. Smith hunted up a big
stick, and as he turned to renew the con-
test he heard the reptile kissing at his
heels, 1t having followed him. Holding
the lantern where it shown the snake,
Smith prepared to strike again, but be-
fore he could DO SO the snake lifted
its head and body from the floor and
aimed a blow at the Waterman. Tue
blow missed the man but hit the lantern
knocking it from Smiths hands to the
floor and extingulshing the light.
Smith was thoroughly, frightened and
started for the office to get another light

several shots, but the snake moved so
rapidly that the bullets went astray The
reptile became more vicious, and Smith
was compelled to retreat to the top of a
piece of machinery. The snake follow

hours struggle Smith was finally enabled

Clarence house. the residence of the
duchess of Edinburg, is one of the
most comfortable houses in London,
SAYS Modern Society, and is famous for
its good beds. for the only daughter Of
Alexander III. CT Russia is, like many
Muscovite ladies, very particular
about her beds, and will tolerate in
her house none but the very best.
Even when mere child, and long be-
fore her marriage, she was so particu-
lar about this very important item in
domestic comfort that, to insure the
sheets being tightly stretched over the
mattress, she used to have them sewn
down, for even the slightest crease or
wrinkle would entirely destroy the re-
pose of this imperial spoilt child for
the night.
Her royal highness used to be great
ly chaffed about this weakness by
members of our royal family when
first she came to this country, but the
queen, who is also veryparticular about
her beds, stuck up for her, and al
though now the sheets are no longer
sewn down to the mattress they are
composed of the most exquisitely fine
linen that can be procured, and
stretched like tight rope over the
most perfect mattresses that can be
manufactured in Paris, in which capi-
tai the making of mattresses has been
brought up to the level of fine art.
A curious and amusing chapter
might indeed be written about the
beds of illustrious personages. The
ex-Empress Eugene is quite as par
ticular about her beds as the duchess
of Edinburgh or our gracious sover-
eign, and quite agrees with the first
named lady as to the fineness of the
linen and the tightness of the drawing
of the sheets, but her imperial majesty
has an odd fancy to have her bed
so low as to give a visitor to the
imperial bedchamber the impression
that the widow of Caesar is almost
sleeping on the floor. 1t is indeed
hardly elevated more than a foot from
the floor, as all who have visited in
old days the private apartments at St.
Cloud, Compiegne, and the Tuileries
will remember.

The Graphophone.

The graphopone, which is sort of
uncompiicated phonograph, is coming
into practical use in the offices of few
stenographers in this country. The
man who takes the notes, instead of
debating to the typewrlters, sits down
and talks into the machine, and the
cylinder on which his remarks are re-
corded is then turned over to the type
writer, who sticks a tube attached to
the machine into each ear, and work
ing the roller by treadle as she
would a sewing-machine, has whatever
is there talked off to her as rapidly or
slowly as she can take it down. In
practice it is said that a stenographer
can dictate to the machine in an hour
as much as rapid typewriter can
transcribe in three or four hours. The
time thus saved is so much clear gain
for the stenographer, and in case
where copy is needed i'll hurry the
work can be done by the employment
of enough typewriters in a tuird to a
quarter of the time that would be
necessary if the steDographer had to
dictate his notes to single type
writer. The graphophone and the
photograph are controlled by the same
company, which refuses to sell out
right, and which charges such a high
price for the rental of the instruments
that stenographers- who have not a
large business hesitate to try the ma

three years on the direction of surface
