that Goosely doesn't k"ow much

way, and now that he has deliber-
ately peJured himself in the at

WHY OUR BOB WAS AP-
POINTED.

Bob Terrell is a good fellow,
said an old associate of his this
week, and how he got his recent
appointment is only known to "a
few. You see, said his friend,
Bob is waiting on one the Miss
Sumnervilles with the expectation
of marrying her. John r. Lynch
is the husband of one OF them,
hence, brother-in-law to the one
Bob expects to marry. To make
a family affair of the business and
to increase the income of family ly,
Bob, who is expecting to marry
one of the daughters, got appoint
ed chief of a division. Lynch is
opposed to Northern Negroes hav-
ing any representation, but, ke
has gone. or will take the stump
in a few weeks to tell the Negroes
in the North how to vote. Cheek!
isn't it?

Cullen was a gallant Union officer
during the late rebellion, and as
reminder of those days, he carries
a small ball in the calf Of his right

L. Rider, another Ohio man, who
carefully looks after the interest Of
the employees. This little depart

discrimination is allowed. No one
is known by the color of his face.
THIS establishment works about
25 mechanics, 80 common laUOrers,
and 65 canvass workers (female).
Several Of the latter are cOlOred

JUDGE MILLER.

We desire to extend to Judge
Miller of the Police court the
thanks of the colored people for his
kind and just remarks from the
bench in behalf of a people that
has been so abused. From the
time Judge Miller was appointed
by President Cleveland we said
then, and we say now, that the ap~
pointment of such a man was a
God send. We shall thank any
man or party for what is done by
such a man or party for the Negro.
Judge Miller of the Police Court is
entitled to the highest commenda
tion for a just and unasked for
defense of our people. We hope to
have as many more good judges as
Mr.. Miller.

DIR. TOWNSEN

There is no public man ths ss
gained more popularity and -e
good will of the American people
than DIR. j. W. Townsend of the
Land office. The speech of Dr..
Townsend at the citizens meeting
on last Wednesday evening, under
the auspices of the Philomathain
Literary Society, was a mastery
effort. He has risen 100 per cent.
in the estimation of the American
people. We need such men as
DIR. Townsend to the front.

NEGRO LEADERSHIP.

10 say that Negro leadership Is
not a failure is but mild way of
stating it. With but few excep.
tions, the so-calIed Negro leaders
of the race who have held and who
are clamoring for place and power
to-day are a disgrace and an i'm
pediment to che race. 1t is fact
undeniable that the so-called old
leaders of the race, who have been
sucking the tit of Uncle Sam for
a number of years are of no conse-
quence to our people. What we
want and what we hope the Presis
dent will do is, when he makes up
his mind to appoint colored men
to office, on the strength of being
a Negro and being identified with
the race, that he will carefully
consider the merits of each appii-
cant.
We are about sick of class of
men being appointed to positions
on account Of what some insigni-
icant social clique may say. Such
appointments are not only danger
Gus TO the government, but detri-
mental to the success of any poli-
tical party, Negro leadership is a
failure; the Negro race up to date
recognize no leadership in those
men who are and have been for
self and their immediate family.
There are applicants for Office who
are posing as leaders, as represen-
tatives of the race, and as soon as
they are appointed to positions,
they attempt to Identify them
selves with the Anglo Saxon race.
Some of them have the impudence
to say that their parents are or
were white; that they recognize
no color Before they received
the appointment sought after, we
are bothered to death with these
hypocrites about their love for the
Negro race.
We don't recognize a leader in
the race and shall not until
we can find men
who are honest enough to
forget self and their families. One
of the recent Negro appointees.
after having appointed one of his
near relations to a position,
called at the Interior department
a anu ask2e! eestaia official there
if he could appoint one of his SIS
ter-in-laws to a place.He was told,
no, that be had 10 place for him,
bus, we have been informed, how
ever, that he received an appoint
ment for her in the Bureau of
Printing and Engraving. If the
colored people want to send class
Of such men to represent them,
we are mistaken in the make up
of the race.
Negro leadership is not only a
myth, but a mockery to this gen~
Grafton.
Since writing the above, we
are led to the opinion that DR..
James NJ. Townsend, Recorder of
the Land office, may be looked upon
as an exception to the above. He
is one of the few cOlored officials
who has the interest of his race at
heart.

FROM A WIRE TO A PIN.
How the Sharp Little Instruments are
Manufactured by Machinery.

In the former days it took twelve
to fourteen men to make pin, that is
there were twelve to fourteen process
es in the manufacture, each of which
was performed separately and by a
different hand, says Good House,
keeping. Now a single machine
turns out stream of pins at the rate
of 200 a minute, all ready to be fin
ished.
The wire is prepared by drawing
it from a large coil on a revolving
drum through hole the size of the
pin wanted. The coil, wound on
another drum, IS then suspended at
the end of a machine. The wire
passes into machine through hole
and series of iron pegs which keep
it in place and straighten it.
A pair of pincers moving back and
forth pull it along and thrust the end
through hole in small iron plate,
on the further side of which a little
hammer beats a tattoo on the end of
the wire, and so forms the head OF
the pin. Next knife descends and
cuts off the pin to the proper length.
The pin falls through a groove or
slot through which the head cannot
pass, and is thus suspended SO that
the lower or point end is exposed to
the action of a cylindrical file, which
has both a revolving and lateral mo-
ton. By the time the pin has pas
sed this file it has smooth. sharp
point, and is complete pin so far
as shape is concerned.
These processes are all performed
with such rapidity that the pins fall
in a constant stream from the end Of
the machine. They are next put in
| quantities into revolving barrels,
which are turned till the pins are
secured and cleaned. Next they are
boiled in an acid in which fine pow.
der of tin has been put. and they
emerge from the bath white and
shining with their new tin coat. They
are then dried in sawdust. apair
shaken in barrels, and busted. The
machine which sticks the pins upor
the papers on which they are sold is
very ingenious and simple in its de
tail, but too complicated for brie
description. The machine crimp:
the paper and holds it while the pin:
are brought up in long rows, a whole
row being stuck at one push of ;
lever.

Elvira Villano, a snake charmer,
while giving a performance at Boston
museum few days ago, was bitten by
one of his reptiles through the thumb.
An attendant, was standing closely,
rushed to the wounded mans assist
ance, and bound strap tightly around
his wrist to keep the poisoned blood
from circulating, poured about quart
of whisky down his thoat, and applied
ammonia to the wound. A doctor was
sent for, and, when he arrived, found
Villano's hand badly swelled. He says
the prompt action of the attendant
saved the mans lite. The doctor
cauterized the wound, and left his pa.
tient in a comfortable condition.

MODERN MISTAKES IN GRAMMAR.

Faults are pardonable in. conversa
ton, which are not pardonable in writ.
ten compositions. But we must be
careful not to take too much leeway in
this regard, and not to make mistakes
in grammar or pronunciation. Some
people are guilty of grammatical blum
ders through sheer csrelessness. Thus,
a lady of my acquaintance, who under
stands trigonometry, ard can translate
Virgil, often says to me, "you was," and
vet she knows perfectly we'll that this is
an inexcusable mistake.
Other people who ought to know
better say che don't" for che doesn't
know as l do" instead of 81 don't
know that | do" "Aint" and "taint"
are not often used now by educated
people, unless in jesting way. 1t is
an unwise thing, however, to be care
less or inaccurate in ones pronuncia-
tons or use of language, since tricks of
speech are easily caught, and very hard
to get rid Of Thus, when one is talk
ing to servants, or other uneducated
people, one is often tempted to adopt
their phraseology, IN order to be under
stood by them but it is better to with
stand the temptation, even if one should
be obliged in consequence to take more
trouble to express ones meaning clearly.
What shall be SAID OF the woman who
says 81 done it2" She has certainly
placed herself between the horns of a
dilemma. Her hearers will infer, either
that her early education was neglected,
or that she associated with uneducated
people turing her childhood. And yet
this is grammatical fault which seems
hard to get rid of. Persons who never
say 81 seen It," or che has went" or
"them things" will occasionally betray
themselves by letting slip the fatal 81
done it."
1t is quite as incorrect to use che"
and 81" for chin" and "me," or vice
OerSa, as it is to say 81 done it," and
yet the first named class of faults-tbat
of using the wrong pronouns-is some
times committed by educated people.
Indeed, have heard the phrase "it
is me" justified, on the ground that it
was literal translation of the French
"c'esf mol." But our English grammar
does not, like its French namesake, JUS
tlfy the employment OF certain pronun-
clal forms, merely for the value of
euphony. "He is older than l" may
not sound so we'll as che is older than
me-" yet the former is the correct form.
1t is a very common mistake to say
"Between you and l." and yet mo-
ment's reflection should convince any
one who has even studied grammar,
that he should say "Between you and
me."-Horence Ho70e Hall, IN La
dies Home Journal.
