TWENTY NEGRO PREACHERS LE.Ai
INTO THE CAMPAIGN.

When candidate Malone spoke in Staun-
ton, he remarked with contempt, that the
Democrats seemed to have but one issue
"Mahone and the Niger Unhappily
Gen. Malone SO contrives and manages his
campaigns, that the Niger, as he calls
him, cannot well be kept out as an issue.
At the beginning of every campaign Gen.
Malone puts himself in correspondence
with the pastors of colOred churches.
That is almost his first step and this year
it was taken in August. He sent out the
following circular:
PETERSBURG, VA, Aug. %, 1889.
{ Sir:-Please send me the names of the Pas
tors of the different churches of your county,
their poStoce addresses, and state whether
white or colored in each case.
Yours truly, WIN. MALONE.
Oh course it is improbable that he receiv-
pastor, but he got what he was really after,
the names Of tie colorcd pastors. One re-
Spouse to this movement has been caught,
and is published in the Richmond Dis
patch. 1t reads us follows

one which has confronted our people for many
years. With gictory ii Is tie conss1e,sation o,ai

truthfully charged with any desire for supre-
macy in the administration of public affairs.
All we want and ask are our rights before the

in the belief that this can best be done through
the medium of the Republican party, and we

The Legacy Trick.

The LEGACY trick" is rather finished
article in the swindling line Just intro
duced into Paris by the elite of the pro.
fession. The story of N. Cailac, coal
merchant, illustrates the mode in which
it Is carried out, says the Liverpool 1fey-
cry. NJ. Cailac received a telegram to
this effect: Come at once. A legacy
has been left to you Ploch, Notary, /
Rue d'lIauteville." The happy receiver
of this message lost no time in visiting
NJ. Ploch's Office. A short time after he
left his wife received a telegram from
him, aud telling her to at once get to-
gethcr $780, which were required to pay
preliminary expenses. The good woman,
overloyed ut this stroke of luck, got the
money ready, and shortly afterward n
demurc, white chokercd gentleman, we'll
got up as notary, called for the money,
for which, of course, he gave receipt in
due form. A few minutes afterward the
husband, white with passion and savage
with disappointment, returned to say the
whole thing was hoax, and that M.
Ploch knew nothing of the legacy in
question. His state of mind was not i'm
proved when he learned that sham NJ
Ploch had called in the meantime and
extracted 800 from his wife. TO add
to his confusion he found his room full
of neighbors, whom Madam Cailac had
summoned together to rejoice with her
over the unexpected windfall. The
Partisan police are busily searching for
the clever little gentleman with the
"whito choker," but have not yet found
him

He Captured a Company OF Regulars.

The only private citizen who captured
detachmento OF United States troops and
held the entire command us prisoners of
war in times of peace, was recently in
Kansas City.
The hero of the strange adventure is
John q. Blake, prominent mining pros.
pector OF Colorado. Mr. Blake fitted out
body of three hundred Colorado noun
taineers ten years ago to prospect the tie
reservation. He was wealthy at the time
and spent 500, 900 before the ect of
the expedition was accomplished When
he left for the Indian country printed
proclamation was issued, copy being
sent to the addresses of all the members
OF Congress in the country and to the In.
dians themselves, stating that the party
proposed to make a thorough explora-
.tion OF the reservation i'll spite of every
obstacle that might be thrown in its wav.
White men had been warned to keep oil
the Ute country under penalty of death,
and serious trouble was anticipated The
Indians knew the desperate character of
the invaders and kept out of sight, APP
pealing TO the Government for aid. "A
detachment of two hundred regular
troops entered the mountains to make

looking around the officer saw the rocks
alive with mountaineers fully armed and
prepared for battle.
Resistance would have beea folly, aud
the officer gave up his sword with the
understanding that his men should be
treated rs prisoners of war.
After three days of captivity the troops
were released on parole. Mr.. Blake has
the paroles at his home in Colorado to-
day. The prospecting party was never
punished and the Utes were soon after
sent to new reservation.-New York

people to know that, of this number but

Three hundred and seventy five novels
have been reissued l wonder if they have
done the native authors all the harm

Amer can noYels were published last year
than the year beforc, which is possibly
the result OF higher standard being set
by the publishers because OF the CONNIE
tition of the cheap paper reprints. In
England the production of new books
showed even greater increase than usual.
In 1881 there were $3.50 books published
against o5o1 in 1888. Every one, doubt
less, has his own theories as to the causes
which increase or decrease the number
OF books put into circulation yearly, but
1t is to be noticed that a "Presidcntial

publishers, and important literary under
