The Proper Message.
ILondon Tlt-Blts, ]

Recently a woman entered a subur-
ban telegraph Office and said to the re-
ceiver of messages that she desired to
telegraph her husband, who was IN the
country, for money. He pointed to the
counter supplied with blanks and told her
the rate for a dozen words. She strug-
gled away for q quarter Of an hour and
then handed in the following
Won't you please send me five
pounds by next post
81 don't know whether that will do
or not" she said, as she felt for her
money. "If you were to receive such a
telegram from your wife would you for
ward the money!"
Well-well. l might he replied in
doubtful tones
"Now, you wait. Idon't like the tele-
gram at all, because | tried to keep it
within twelve words. I'll write an
other"
She tore it up, walked over to the
counter, and in three minutes handed in
a new one. reading -
Gam out of food and fuel and want 95
as soon as you can get it here. If you
can't spare it I'll pawn the parlor carpet. "
THAT would bring the money from
me-" said the receiver, as he read the
lines and marked the number OF words.
"Then it will from him. Send it
quick"

A Frightened Picture-Frame Agent.
nAWiainNn IOurnalI

A man suffering from cancer on his
tongue handsomely routed a picture
frame agent whose tongue was in COM
plete running order in 0rland the other
day. The agent called at the sick mans
home and persisted in staying and
talking though the lady Of the
house told him she wanted none Of
his wares. The husband, who was
sick in bed in an adjoining room, get
ting out of patience with the importuni-
ties of the agent, raised himself from
the bed, wrapped sheet around him,
and opening the door, wild aud bag
gard, he appeared before the astonishei
agent with "you git, we don't want
you here" His peculiar speech, caused
by the cancer and his wild and CHASTITY APP
pearance, struck terror to the heart OF
the agent. His under jaw dropped. A
deathly paleness came over his counte-
nance. lie gave one look and bolted.

MRS. POTTER's MASCOT.
She Treasures n Piece OF Rope That
Hanged Man.

Mrs. James Brown Potter, that little
understood woman, has wealth OF
chatain-hued hair, which, when let
down, falls in wayy mass far below her
knees,
Her hair has also an unusual character
istic for such thick hair-that is, that it
is very fine and Of silky texture. She
wears it in loose knot at the nape OF
her neck, and brushed well from her
forehead, but love-locks will drop down
upon it as though loath to leave such a
fair, sweet resting place.
There is an interesting Ondit about
Mrs. Potter anent her "mascot, " which
she never is without. A French lady,
an ardent admirer of this fair southerner,
told her of an old French superstition,
which is that if a piece of rope with
which a person is hanged can be OBJ
tanned and worn, the wearer will be
blessed with continued good luck.
She ended her little story by present
ing Mrs. Potter with a piece of such
rope, which she warranted to be con-
nected with such tragedy. The pretty
actress always wears this in her corsage,
and firmly believes it to be her "mas-
cot -

ELLEN TERRVs CHILDHOOD.
Endurance Of the Great Actress Under
Trying circumstances on tho stage.
London Tit-Blts.


When Ellen Terry was little girl
about eleven years of age, she belonged
to Mrs. Charles hean's company at the
Princess. She was one evening acting
"Puck" in the Midsummer Nights
Dream, and had to come up through
the stage floor on a trap-door, standing
on mushroom. The trap-door was
shut too soon, and one Of her feet was
caught. She screamed with pain, and
her sister Kate, then acting Titania, ran
TO her and threw her arms around her.
Still the child continued to scream, and
Mrs. Charles Kean, seeing what was
wrong, came on the stage and struck
with her heel for the trap-door to be
opened. The man naturally mistook
the signals and shut it tighter, and the
child's screams redoubled, Mrs. kean
whispered to her:
BE brave girl, Nellie, and finish
your part, and you shall play in King
John"
The trap door was by this time open
ed, but the little girls toe WAS broken.
She finished her speech, however, though
she tainted when she got of the stage.
Later on she played the part Of Prince
Arthur"
Another time, in the same company,
she had to play one of the angels in
" Catherine OF Arragon's Vision. To
give the appearance OF distance the
largest angel came first and they gradu-
ated IN size until the end, and Ellen
Terry, being the smallest actress, was
placed at the top OF the row. Whether
the height she was from the ground
made her sick is not known, but she
evinced her feelings in the most tangi-
bic manner, proving most unpleasantly
to the other "angels" beneath her (who
demonstrated with her afterward), that
however spiritual her appearance might
me, she was subject as any mortal to
the ills that flesh is heir to.

Estimating the Dam age.

She was q large, resolute-looking wo-
man, and she sat in the attorneys con-
sultation-room and stated the case to
him without any emotion.
"The thing for you to do, madam,
said the lawyer, is to sue the woman
for alternating the affections Of your hus-
band"
Cant / have her put in the peniten-
tiary ? u" she demanded,
"Um.no. You can sue her for dam
ages, though, aud make the figures as
large as you please"
Damages? What for ?"
"For robbing you of your husband,
madam. 1t amounts to that in reality. &"
"And you advise me osue her for
money y"
81 do"
"Then I'll do It'll" she exclaimed
yindictiyely. "I'll make her pay his
full value. Sue her as quick as you
please"
"What damages will you claim ?"

man. she replied with dignity, but L
am o conscientious one. Make the dam
ages about a dollar and a half.

Alleged Authors.

Now that the cat is out OF the bag
about " The Anglomsniscs, the numbers
OF people who we're accused OF writing
it, and did not deny the soft impeach-
ment, must feel rather cheap. Their no.
ton seemed to be that the author or
"The Anglomaniacs would maintain O
lasting incognito like the author Of " De-
mocracy." At Newport last summer,
Miss Wardwell, of Boston, was several
times accused of being the author, and
invariably refused to say whether she
wrote it or not. A great many people
who didn't know much actually thought
Miss Wardwell did write It. but few
people who know great deal were per-
fectly certain that Miss Wardwell didn't
write it.

what tho Negroes Owe Us.

| To the E'd{tOr of the DiSp0tch:
"Bloodshed must follow the unlawful
practices of the Democratic party IN VIZ
ginia. a free people will not much longer
tolerate it,"
The above is copied from the Rich
mond Planet of November oth.
Langston has also talked OF "hOg8-
heats of blood"
All this furnishes much food for
thought. Not that we fear any danger
from the "bloodshed " threatened, but
when two Of the most prominent and
perhaps the best educated negroes in
Virginia are guilty of such expressions
as those above quoted, it is well calcu-
lated TO convince us that the millions of
dollars taken out of the pockets OF the
southern white people by taxation for
the purpose Of educating that race to
make them better citizens have been
vorse than thrown away, because 1t Is
being clearly demonstrated every day
that the more education these people
have the worse citizens they become.
The average negro hates us and Will
continue TO hate rs no matter what we
do for him. We have civilized, Chris
tanned. and educated him; but that
which If not the most prominent Is GER
tainly one of the most commendable
traits in the white mans character IS to-
tally wanting in his-gratitude.
The history of the world mentions no
instance in which the African race has
ever been taught civilization successfully
except in a condition of slavery, and
these negro editors, professors, and poll
ticians who want our blood now
would have been eating each other with
their cousins in the wilds OF Africa had
not their ancestors been brought to this
country and sold into slavery. l want
MIR. Langston, Mr.. John Mitchell, Jr.,
and all their admirers to put that III
their pipes and smoke 1t.
For centuries past missionaries have
been sent TO Africa TO try to civilize and
Christianize these unfortunate people,
and what has been the result Those
who were fortunate enough to escape
being killed and eaten, we are told, had
to buy q negro before they could con-
vert him, and now these very people who
have been civilized, Christlanized, and
educated by the only means with which
it was possible to accomplish these re-
suits want to rule and make laws
for those who taught them, and
failing in this they talk about
bloodshed, hogsheads of blood, &c.
Verify, it is time to cali halt, for nine
tenths of all the teachers employed IN
the colored schools are Langstons and
Mitchells, and instead of trying to teach
those committed to their charge to be IN
dustrious, quiet, and peaceable citizens
they are laboring to bring out the very
worst elements IN their character, and
succeeding, too.
Now. If we must continue to tax ON
people 20 run these negro schools why,
in tho name of all that is reasonable,
can we not employ reliable white men
for teachers who will at least teach them
some commOn-sense La

70 Me Editor OF ne UlSpuIch:
A few months ago when the taxpayers

enough to bind their wheels with raw

This has not been done, and as the
