COLORED MEN IN OFFICE.

The action of the present admin
istration in appointing to offices a
number of representative colored
republicans, is one that will be en-
dorsed by all fair minded men.
The fact that about five times as
many colored men have been ap-
pointed to office by this admins
tration as by the last, disproves
the charge made by the democratic
party that the colored people
would receive no recognition under
the republican administration.
The following shows colored re-
publicans who have been appointed
to important offices so far, and
does not include number of ap-
pointments to minor positions in
the different departments at Wash
ington and elsewhere: John r.
Lynch. of Mississippi, fourth audi
tor of the treasury, $4,000; j. NJ
Townsend, of Indiana, recorder of
the general land office, $4,000;
Robert Smalls, of South Carolina.
collector of customs at Beauford.

Douglass, of the District of Colum-
bia, minister to Hayti, $4,000; N.
Wright Quincy, of Texas, collector
of customs at Galveston, Texas.
$4,000; James Henley, of Alabama.

vile, Alabama, So, 900; N. H. Alex
ander, of Alabama, receiver of the
land office at Montgomery. Ala
bama, $4,000; J. H. Patty, OF
Louisiana, naval officer of customs
for the district Of New Orleans,
Louisiana, $4,000; John J. Spell
man, Of Mississippi, special agent
of the general land office, $1,000
and travelling expences; George c.
Smith, of Missouri, special agent
of the general land office, $1,50C
and travelling expenses; Samuel
Lee, of South Carolina, special
surveyor of the general land office
$500 and travelling expenses.
This is a pretty good beginning
and it is more pleasing be-
cause most of the appointments
have been given in the south where
a colored republican has little, il
any, show for recognition in poll.

One of Ellaville's gallant young
disciples of Blackstone, finding
business in the legal profession
rather dull at this season, and
having a wife and baby to provide
for, laid away his law books,
closed his office, doffed his stand
ing collar, congress CATERS and
courthouse clothes, hauled on his
seediest garments, siezed a trowel,
and sailed forth to earn bread by
the sweat Of his brow. until the
law business picked up. He had
gotten job of bricklaying and
earned over 800 before his friends
missed him out of town.
There is youth in Buffalo of
an extremely taciturn disposition.
He will sit at table and never ut

in company he has to make an
effort to talk. But the moment
he'drops asleep his tongue begins
to wag, and he talks all night
with scarcely a pause for breath.
The youth is thinking of buying a
phonograph to collect his brilliant
conversation by night, and to
grind it out by day for the bene-
fit of his friends.

THE EXECUTION OF CRIMINALS.

The Electrical Engineer does not
share the feeling expressed by
some electricians that the employ
ment of the electric current in
capital punishment would disgrace
or stigmatize their vocation. We
take the liberty. however, to point
out the following paragraph from
the report of the commission:
"Your commissioners are firmly
convinced that if the criminal
could be put to death in a certain
and eficacious manner the pur-
pose of the law would be achieved
equally we'll as if the terrors Of
death were enhanced by the inflic-
ton of prolonged physical torture
before the end was finally accom-
plished. Various suggestions have
been made as to the means of &C
eomplishing such a result. One
has been the injection of violent
and sudden poison, such as prussic
acid, by means of the hypodermic
needle, into the body of the con-
demned, which is open to the very
serious objection that the use Of
the instrument is so associated
with the practice of medicine and
as a legitimate means of alleviat-
ing human suffering that it is hardly
deemed advisable to urge its ap-
plication for the purpose of legal
executions against the almost
unanimous protest OF the medical
profession"
We are not told when and how
the medical profession was polled
on the question, but the above
paragraph clearly implies that the
suggestion of poison was satisfac-
tory but for the feelings of the
doctors.
1t has always seemed to US that
the question of simple and more
humane executions could be best
met by physicians. There is nc
doubt that they could provide a
simple method of poisoning, which
could re applied with no, expect

Farmer Crowder had finished plant

A WaterSpout.

Eve-witnesses describe the water
spout as presenting most impressive
and beautiful spectacle, says the Mo-
bile Register. 1t formed about midway
between Point Clear and Battles wharf
proceeding slowly toward the shore,
roaring at first with Il very loud noise.
1t struck Battles wharf, near the
shore end and cut it off as neatly as if
it had been sawed off. The spout
sucked up great deal of splintered
wood and went dashing inland, carry
ing with it mass of whirling debris.
in the midst of which hundreds of fish
were mingled. The waterspout pro-
ceeded up the land, tore off the corner
of barn, and then fell to the ground
with loud noise, depositing the load
of broken wood and fish.
Capt. L. II. Kennerly gives graph
ic account of the phenomenon. He
says that he watched the waterspout
from beginning to the end. There was a
very heavy black cloud in the sky off
the point, and all the clouds in the
neighborhood were seen moving to-
ward the center of the black cloud.
He knew then that waterspout was
anu dlltADlOH W tllC
atmospheric disturbance. Presently
the water of the bay, about one hum
dred yards off the end of long wharf.
began to boil and whirl around with a
loud noise. The whirlpool was direct
" beneath the black cloud. The black
cloud then formed in funnel shape and
let down point, revolving in direc-
ticn contrary to the whirlpool below.
Soon the two bodies of water joined in
forming a column about fifty feet in
diameter in the middle and reachin g
up about mile in the air. As soon as
the junction was formed the greater
part of the rushing water ceased. The
column stood apparently motionless
for about fifteen minutes, and had an
angle with the horizon of about 60 de-
grees. The funnel at the top was dead
/ black, but the body of the waterspout
was slate color. At the bottom, where
the spout spread out into pyramid,
the water was green and white. 1t

bending more and more as it advanc-
ed. When it reached the shore, just
where the wharf joins the shore, the
spout bent in the middle. and a report
of electric discharge and a flash of
lightning announced that the spout
was broken. The greater part of the
water was sucked up in the heavens a
the spout parted in the middle, and
the remainder fell with a great noise,
enyeloping the wharf and breaking it
down for distance of perhaps fifty
feet, reaching from the shore to a
small house situated on the wharf.
The effects of the spout were felt on
land slightly. 1t was only remnant
of the gyrating water that hit the
house, and the damage resulting was
small.

A Great Military Road.

The Georgian military road is
piece of work of which the Russians
are justly proud. Vast sums of money
are still spent yearly in keeping it in
first-rate condition. What it actually
cost to make over a period of many
years is question like that put to the
Emperor Nicholas with regard to the
Isaac Cathedral at st. Petersburg, and
which that frankly spoken monarch
answered by saying that only the AL
mighty and the architect could tell
The first part of the road runs with
gradual ascent through the gorge of
Darrell, through which flows the River
Terek. There are several excellent
iron bridges over the latter in the
course of the windings of the road
under the beetling broWs of the craggy
mountains on both sides of the defile.
The scenery is grand. but stern and
wild. Bare. stony cliffs and granite
rocks, quite perpendicular in many
places, and dull-brown mountain
slopes, with scanty vegetation, inclose
and overshadow the roadway and river
as far as Kazbek. Here the valley of
the Terek begins to open out, and the
road rises rapidly towards the pass
over the Krestovaya Mountain, as it is
called, at height of 1868 feet above
the sea.
North of the pass the road leads
through Ossetia, or the country of the
Ossetins, who have been considered by
some philologists as having some
affinity with the Germans But
the bewildering babel of languages in
the Caucasus, or ''mountain of tom
gues," as it was anciently called,
is still a battling study for European
professors. 1t was reckoned by Ara
bian writer's that, with the dialects and
divisions of the various distinct Ian
guages, they numbered some 500 or
more. Pliny speaks of $50 interpre-
tiers having been necessary to transact
business with these numerous linguist-
zeal groups at Dioscura, the present
region of Abkhazia. Even at the pres
ent day good number would be neces-
sary to communicate properly with
the more isolated mountaineers away
from the main thoroughfares, where
Russia is not yet the common medium
of intercourse.-L0nd0a1 Times.

Contentment.

Once there lived fair maiden. who was very
sweet and fair.
Who had eyes like purple pansies, and long,
sunny, flowing hair;
And twas said through all the country she
was loved beyond compare
Yet she had no wealth nor dower-1ust love
Just kindly, gentle nature, and maiden's
winsOme grace:
But at times she longed for jewels, 10 wear
silk and costly lace,
And 1t CHANGED she lay a-sleepfng in the gar
And the sunlight kissed her tresses, and the
breeZes sang tune,
And the roses were half jealous all the sum-
mer afternoon.
And she dreamed Of wondrous treasures, of
castle by the sea,
OF a Prince who came to claim her, and whose
praise seemed melody
Like the music of the waters flowing on de-
lghtfully.
And she longed for Time to pass her like a
sudden spirit flown,
For her youth to vanish quickly. and tobe a
woman grown,
That the Prince might kneeI before her. and
might claim her for his own.
And in part her wish was answered, for there
came to her one day
One who offered wealth and station, and IN
Tho she had no love to give him. yet she did
not turn away.
But I've heard a sad eyed woman stand alone
at close of day,
And her heart is grieved and troubled, LEI
men praise her as they may,
For her happiness has left her-taken wings
and flown awayl
And / think, friends, 'twere better, In this
journey here OF ours,
Not to dream of power and riches nor OF
stately dOmes and towers
But to live in sweet contentment, like the lit
tie birds and flowers.

have no optical decisions about what

be distracted and was not once off his
guard. Noticing this the old juggler
played to him entirely. An immense
porcelain vase was brought in and set
in the middle of the room, and the Jug
