LETTER FROM SENATOR
BLAIR.
Policy Of the Administration
Governing Appointments.
Passage of the BIairEdu-
CatiOnal BiIIthe Hope
of the Nation.
UNITED STATES SENATE.

Washington, D. c., April 26, 'S9
My Dear Sir:
| do not believe the Administra-
ton desires the division Of the Re
publican party upon the ground of
race or color, or political division
of the people based upon any such
distinction.
In appointments Of Office | believe
the purpose Of the President to be
to get the best men and that he
means to select them carefully re-
gardless of all questions save such as
relate to their capacity, integrity
and Republicanism. There is no
other just principle of action and
the talk of the adoption of any other
by the Administration is, think,
wholly without foundation.
Every one in the party desires the
accession Of creator numbers. Nat
urally they must come from the white
people since the colored are nearly
all with us already-and yet the
church is not full. We do not how.
ever intend to turn out those whom
we already have in our communion.
Remember that the passage Of the
school Bill will end this by carrying
intelligence to all. regardless of race
or color or previous condition in life.
All parties and races should unite to
secure its passage.
Truly Yours,
HENRY w. BLAIR.

Now Ones Satisfactorily Tested at the An
napoIis Testing Grounds.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, June 14-The pneu-
matte gun carriage made by the Pneu-
matte Carriage and Gun company, of
South Boston, Mass, was fully tested
Wednesday at the naval proving grounds
by board Of naval officers consisting Of
Capt. John A. Howell, Lieutenant Com
mander M. r. S. Mackenzie, Lieut. s.,
Eaton Schroeder and Lieut.. Sidney A.
Staunton.
The tests began at 1o:40 a. m and
ended at p. m. Twenty rounls were
fred ten slowly and ten fast. The gun
was furnished by the government, and
is an S-inch, carrying 25O-pound shell
with charge of 1876 pounds of powder
The carriage acted in a satisfactory
manner. The recoil of the gun is re-
ceived upon an air cushion. A short
recoil is great desideratum ON ship
board, where there is little room. The
recoil Of field piece Of artillery will
be from six to eight feet
The pneumatic gun carriage tried
Wednesday reduced the recoil to two
feet. No accident of any kind happened
during the tests. The ten fast shots were
made with minute and a half inter
val. Col. Greasy, president of the Pneu-
matte Gnn Carriage and Powder com
pany, and William Hunt, Jr, secretary,
were present during the trial.

Negro Progress.

The Chattanooga Times to whose
fairness and liberaliLy in its discus
of the "Negro Problem" is due in no
small degree the friendly relations be~
tween the races within the broad
scope Of its circulation has won anew
the commendation of good people by
its able criticism and denunciation of
the revolutionary views advanced by
Mr.. Edgington in speech at the
Memphis National Cemetary on
Memorial day, which speech was
published in the the Memphis Ava
lanche. The orator abused the oc !.
casion by discussion of the color
question, advocating partial dis
franchisement Of the Negro, asser
ting his incapacity for citizenship,
his failure as laborer and making
an invidious comparison with the In
dian trying to place the latter far
ahead in attainments and merit and
more deserving Of recognition.
After disposing of the ''untrue as
sertiens and fantastical exaggeration'
of the speech. The Times defends,
and makes the following just showing
of the progress of the Negro as csm-
pared with the Indian;
Mr.. Edgington compared the ne
gro to the Indian, to the great ad
vantage of the red race; but he was
prudent enough to confine himself
to the stereotyped twaddle on this
point. He told US nothing Of the
achievement of the Indian in civi>
lized life, while, as usual with his
class of 'reasoners," he belittled and
sneered at what the negro has accom-
plished by and through the aid and
guidance OF the white race, In point
Of fact what return has the Indian
made for the hundreds of millions of
dollars lavished on him in efforts to
reduce him to an orderly and useful
member of society? Has he not been
upon the whole burden and curse?
Let the facts of history answer. And
what has the nogo done to commend
him to our sympathy and help? A.
gain let the truth answer. Previous
to the civil war, as slave, he raised
practically the entire cotton, sugar
and food crops of the South, and his
labor prepared those products for
market. Since the civil war, as
freeman, he has made hopeful pro-
gress in the mechanical arts and as
a farmer, and many of the race have
done we'll in the higher walks OF
learning and literature. Carefully

The Worlds Tobacco Yield.

The worlds annual output of tobacco
is increasing. perhaps more rapidly
than that of either wheat Or corn.
Kentucky is the greatest factor in the
tobacco market, and her product stead
lily grows. That of Virginia does like
wise; and several of the Northern states
are cultivating it successfully. Cuba
has long been fam Gus for her cigar
wrappers. and in many parts of the is
land the planters are abandoning sugar
and turning their attention to tobacco,
finding the latter much more profitable.
Even Germany is endeavoring to raise
it.
But the greatest efforts to extend the
cultivation oftobacco are being made in
the East Indies. Both the sell and the
climate of the great islands near the
Asiatic coast are admirably adapted to
the weed, and it has long been success
fully grown there, but not until recent
ly have attempts been made to produce
it on such a large scale. Both the
Dutch and the English are heavily in
terested, and the industry is not con-

The Eyes of Great Men.
From the Philadelphia Press.

An occulist who has made the human
eye study for thirty years, and vino
has examined many famous mems
eyes, declared the other day that the
thoroughbred American eve was
steel blue in color.
'Would you say that black-eyed and
brown-eyed men are deficient In intel
lect?"
mot that, to be sure, since history
has afforded some examples of able
men whose eyes possessed this pigment.
But undeniably, among people of high
er civilization eyes grow lighter in hue,
and there are to-day far more blue
eyed persons than there were a century
ago. If you will be at pains to inquire
the color OF the eyes of Bismarck.
Gladstone, Huxley, Virchow, Buchner,
Renan, in fact of any OF the living great
as we'll as of the great army of the
dead who in life distinguished them
selves, you will learn that most of them
have, or had, eyes of blue or gray. 1t
has seemed to me that the pigment is in
the way, that it obscnres the objects
presented to the visual organ, and that
the aspiring mind seeking the greatest
lights casts it OFF,"

Cholera preventive.

Prof. Salmon, chief of the bureau of
animal industry, has issued report on
hog cholera. 1t is very complete.
The professor says there are two dis
tinct swine diseases of an epizootic
character among hogs, which are wide
ly different, but have been classed as
hog cholera. One is termed hog
cholera and the other swine plague.
These are the two most fatal diseases,
and are caused by the presence of bac-
terra or microbes in the intestines. The
first outbreak Of hog cholera occurred
in Ohio in 1888. 1t was believed to
have been imported from Europe, in
hogs brought over to improve the
breeds. 1t exists more in Great
Britain. All dead hogs should be
burned or buried. All infected pens
thoroughly whitewashed. Carbolic acid
is the best disinfectant. The disease
is contagious; hence all sick animals
should be put into close building and
and everything from them should be
buried or treated with lime, sulphuric
acid, copperas or other disinfectants.
1t is better to kill and burn, or bury all
sick hogs at once, and remove the we'll
ones to new ground. AS q rule, it will
not pay to decor a hog which has the
cholera. Laxative foods are good and
ant;septic agents like copperas, carbolic
acid, crude petroleum, bi-sulphate of
soda and charcoal are useful to put
about the pens and to mingle in the
food, to a very small extent, as pro-
tectives or preyentives.

Old HOrseshoes.

The old horseshoes that accumulate
on farm are not past their usefulness.
They will do to strengthen post that
has tendency to split at the rail holes
or to make a grape trellis. Nail one
side to the side of the post and lay light
poles across from one side to the other,
resting in the arch of the shoe which is
nailed on upside down. The advantage
of this trellis is that delicate vine can
be dropped 10 the ground and covered
with manure in the autumn, by simply
taking the poles out of their rests, and
in the spring the poles may be replaced
and the vine retrained.

Rats In the Cream.

There are various idle stories Of the
acts of rats in the cream jar. But there
are plenty of real incidents of this class
without repeating unauthenticated
ones. In Texas, lately, rat iellin a
cream pan, and was such lively swim
mer that by his padding he churned
the cream into butter and crawled out
on bis butter bridge. A rat some years
ago, above Steam boat Rock in Hardin
County, Iowa, was not so lucky. Hear
ing that the lady of the house was to
have company that evening, the rat,
purposely or accidentally, got into the
cream jar, and in his efforts to churn
the butter for the company he got
drowned. But the lady told her COM
pany that if she had known her COM
pany was coming she would have fin
ished the churning and had the butter
to set off her table. Another lady re-
ported that she frequently missed the
cream in the morning from her milk
pans, but invariably found in such cases
teaspoon in the pan, and she charged
some of the family with slipping her
cream. By careful watching. however
she discovered gray old rat back up to
the milk pan and stick his tail through

board and obtained a teaspoon and car
ried it to the pan and helped himself to
cream through the crack in a sensible
way. But when he was done, to hide
his mischief, he always threw the spoon
into the pan. We indorse these facts,

Trained Fishes.
rom the Atlanta Constitution


William Pair, of Atlanta, Ga. who
owns the Ponce de Leon bathing pond,
pets fishes. Behind his bathing pond
he has beautiful little lake surrounded
by tall fence and filled with trained
fishes. The water is alive with perch,
Dream and carp, but so we'll trained are
they that it is next to impossible to catch
one with hook and line. The water in
the pond is blue and clear. When you
reach the rustic seat on the bank it
seems as if you are looking upon large
French plate mirror. After a moment
spent in listening to the lonesome song
Of lazy bull frog, chanting melodiously
from beneath an overhanging bush, you
reach into box behind you and get a
stale cracker. You pitch it in the water
and then a change comes over the pond.
One, two, three. four-a hundred perch
and Dream come darting from the sandy
bottom and congregate about the white
cracker, each waiting for the other to
attack it first. While they are waiting a
large carp. great ungainly fellow foot
and half long, rises lazlly up and sucks
in the tempting morsel with smack
heard all over the pond. Another
piece of cracker goes in and the small
Try gather about it like chickens about a

dash for the cracker; he misses it, an
other and another tries his luck, and
then it is G. free-for-all scramble; the
water boils and ripples, and one smack
follows another in quick succession un-
til the cracker is secured. 1t is pretty
sight to watch the fishes when they are
fed. 1t is very seldom that they bite a

Unleached Ashes.

When used in drills from 900 to 1000
pounds OF unleached ashes can be used
to good advantage per acre, but in MAX
ing thorough application from two to
five tons should be used. When used
in quantities over two tons per acre,
they should be spread on top of the
ground in the fall or early spring,
when the ground is not frozen, so that
the moisture and rains of these seasons
of the year will aid in dissolving the
potash, phosphoric acid, lime, silica,
and enable them to amalgamate with
the soil before plan ting the seed. 9th
erwise the strong alkalies coming in
contact with the seeds might spoil the
broadcast it would be we'll to harrow in
that good results did not follow the first
years application, by reason of failure
of sufficient rains to dissolve all the
chemicals in the ashes before hot, dry
weather comes on, let them alone that
is, make no application of other fertiliz-
ers to the ground, for nothing will be
lost by their lying in the soil, and their
influence will surely be felt in the next
years crops. When once thoroughly
leached into the soil they are invalu-
able in drought. I think it would be
well for farmers who have not hereto
fore used ashes to experiment for
themselves by using side by side with
stable manure and other fertilizers, a
like quantity in cost of unleached wood

in cost half each of stable manure, well
mixed with the soil, and as a top dress
