To Steal The South.

WASHINGTON, May According to
the alleged authority of the clerk of Sen.
tor Quay, Mr.. Porter, the Superinten.
dent of the Census, is to have the emu
meration of the negroes in the South
made in 80 careless and incomplete q
manner as to give fraction only Of their
real numbers. By this plan the South is
to lose eighteen OF twenty Representa-.
tives. In the meantime the increase of
representation under the new census in
the Republican States will give that
party as many additional members, and
make their control of the House of Rep
resentatives safe and permanent. This
and lot of similar stuff, it is said, was
communicated by Mr. Quay's young man
at the Pittsburg banquet on Saturday
night last. In the closing hours of that
banquet, according to reports, the wine
was in and the wit was oat, and many
things were said not desirable for the
public to hear concerning Republican
plans and plots for the future.
It is we'll known and appreciated here,
and has been ever since the meeting OF
Congress, that the Republican leaders,
having now every branch of the govern.
ment in their control, are determined to
avail of every possible means to perpeiu-
ate their power, and will be restrained by
no scrup les whatever. All of them have
been Matching out schemes for six
months past, and the busy brain of Quay
has been one of the most active. 1t has
been said that at the approaching meet
ing of the National Republican Commit
tee in this city Mr.. Quay will be pre-.
pared TO lay before his associates some
details ola scheme to capture the next
House of Representatives despite OF and
in defiance of the overwhelming popular
majority throughout the country against
him and his associates. 1t may be that
some such idea as is put into the mouth
of his clerk may have been suggested,

but it is scarcely to be apprehended that
it could be seriously entertained, because
it could not possibly be carried out.
There are too many difficulties surround.
ing it to make it a success.
Mr.. Quay, it is said, is opposed to any
more election laws, believing the party
purposes can be best accomplished
through other methods. On the other
hand, Speaker Reed, Senators Hoar,
Chandler and others think that an iron.
clad election law, giving the power to
their creatures to register, count and Ger.
tify, is all that is needed. All these
minor ideas and schemes @ill probably
be discussed at the meeting of the
national committee. Mr.. Porter, the
Superintendent of che Census. might
possibly help out the protectionist cause
by skillful aud adroit manipulation Of
industrial and manufacturing statistics,
but even if he wWe disposed to make the
attempt, and there is no reason to believe
he would lends himself to such scheme
it would be too Herculean task to drop
from the enumeration of the population
100000 persons.-Batin,0re Sun.

ne Colored Brother North and South.

Thera is considerable trouble between
the North and South relative to the
treatment of the negroes down in
! Dixie y said ex. Congressman Tom
--Qehiltree last night at the Hoffman
House "aand that reminds me of one OF
6ur. Texas darkies named Sam, whom |
used to have in my service. Sam could
:read, and in the newspapers he had seen
$50 much of the love the people of the
North bear for the colored man that he
sconcluded the North was the place for
Y him. So to Iowa he went, where he was
s.spretty well treated. The psople there
fiScalled him Mr. and shook hands with
sEhim, and talked politics with him as il
sIls we're an equal, but nobody. seemed
.anxious to have Sam work for him.
fter a awhile all of his money was
fSgone, land he then concluded the best
4 thing for him to do was to 60 back to
Texas !; SO he started on foot, hoping to
pickup enough food on his way to keep
him going. The first place he reached
sswas.a farmhouse where 8 man from New
ORR lived. The farmer was very po.
s5iIite, but when food was mentioned, said
udl0 aAu AO NAN4 oo1Ao'S: - y
shad any thing to spare. He tried several
s S0thers farmhouaes, but always with the
same result everybody was polite, but
snobody gave him any food. For two or
.threeS days he didn't have anything to
sat, suntil finally he came to a place
where a man was out, in the front yard
mowing grass. To him he told the whole
story Of leaving Texas, of his bad luck in
Iowa and sof his desire to get back to
Galveston, and of his great hunger.
Before: he had concluded bis story, the
farmer interrupted him: "You black

Meanness is Not Economy.

John Jacob Astor, who has recently
died, left so great fortune that 1t is i'm
possible for one to even imagine what the
figures really stand for-Sl50, 1000 =!
A millionaire one hundred and City times
over!
The father of this Mr.. Astor, also
named John Jacob, was born near Hell
delberg, in Germany, in 1868. He came
here poor man, but soon made fortune
in the fur business. This story told
of him in the Boston Transcript shows
that in one case, at least, he lost money
by trying to save in q mean way. He
learned wisdom from this experience.
One of Astor's sea captains had sailed
six voyages to China and other distant
countries with no chronometer, depending
only on "dead reckoning" and "lunar OBJ.
servations." Just before starting on his
seventh voyage he suggested to Mr.. Astor
that it would be safer to have chrono.
meter. "Well, get one," said the mer:
chant. The captain did so, and entered
its cost in his account current. When
Mr.. Astor's eye fell upon the item
he drew his pencil through it. The Cap
tain expostulated. Astor's reply was :"I
told you to get one; I didn't say I'd pay
for it"
The captain severed his connection with
Ast0r then and there, went into Wall
Street and engaged with owners, and be.
fore night was in command of as fine q
ship as ever foated in New York's beau
tiful bay.
In three days he WAS ready for sea and
set sail. At the same time Astor's ship,
under command of a new captain, set sail
also. They had race for Hong Kong,
but the captain who, as he used to put it,
had discharged John Jacob Astor, by
keeping the men at the braces, and TAX
ing advantage of every puff Of wind, won
by three days. The ship was loaded in
the shortest time possible, and before AS
tors vessel, which had arrived meantime,
was half loaded, our captain weighed an.
chor, and With a full cargo of tea set sail
for Sandy Hook, arrived in good time,
got his ship alongside the wharf, and be.
gan hoisting out his cargo, which was
sold by auction on the spot. This glutted
the market, for the consumption was
comparatively small in those days, and
when Astor's ship came in prices had
fallen. Two days later, as the captain
was sauntering down Broadway, he met
his former employer.
"How much did dat chronometer cost
you?" asked the latter.
'sSix hundred dollars" was the reply.
"Vell, dat vas cheap" said Astor; "it
cost me 100000.
That merchant and the captain both
died years ago, but that chronometer is
still a good time keeper and treasured
relic az we'll. It does not always pay
even rich man to be mean.

How Indians Get Drunk.

They will drink whiskey land what
Indian will not), but even in this they
observe method and q degree
of decency that white topers would do
we'll to initiate. When band or family
decide to get drunk they send to the
nearest market for one or more gallons
of liquor. In spite Of the law forbidding
the sale of into1icants to Indians, they
have no difficulty in finding white
agents willing to procure the stuff for
them.
It is indeed stuff, and that of che vilest
character, though for it the Indians are
made to pay at least double the price of
the best quality. But what frontier
trader regards it as anything but meri-
torious to cheat redskin2
With the liquor in their possession, the
Indians retire to some remote spot where
their orgies will not be witnessed by any
save themselves, and deliberately prepare
for their spree. They first set aside q
share of the Sire water" for the aquaEs,
who will not touch drop of it until
their lords have finished their debauch.
All guns, knives and other weapons
are then placed in charge of the squaws,
or, if there are no women in the party,
they are delivered to one of the men, for
whom s. certain amount of liquor is re-.
served. While the rest are drunk this
guardian of the peace must remain sober
and keenly watchful of the action of his
companions.
Should be prove unfaithful to his
trust. he will be exiled from the tribe,
and no Indian will hold communication
with him for the term of months or years
during which his exile is enforced.
While the debauch of his companions
lasts he is absolute master of the situa.
tion, and is at liberty to use any amount
of force, even to the taking of life, to
repel an attempt to regain possessions of
the weapons. IF these are left with
squaws the same rule holds good for
them.
The preparations being thus complet.
ed, the Indians, using one small tin cup,
which is impartially handed from one to
another proceed to get solemnly, funnily,
frriously and stupidity drunk. The next
day it is the turn of the squaws or Of the
man who has stood guard, and they, too,
taste the joys and sorrows of complete
intoxication.-Scribner Magazine.
