THE color question is likely to
seriously affect the harmony of the
G. A. r. This is greatly to be de-
plored. The organization is so Largely
social in its objects that u question of
rsce when once sprung assumes very
serious proportions. That the colored
troops fought nobly and are entitled
to every consideration for their loyal
ty and devotion to the old flag cannot
be g~ainsayed. They must have
recognition as part of the great
Grand Army Of the republic. but this
does not necessarily imply member.
ship in the white posts. Wisdom and
patriotism and a deep sense of justice
will be needed to properly arrange
this difficulty.

party was opposed to its passage,

The Ell Paso people are not happy
over their federal officials. Com
plants have been made against both
the postmaster and the customs col
lector. The removal of the custom
house head was affirmed some time
ago, but was promptly denied, and
Mr.. Clark was complimented on his
retention of the office. The FL Paso
Herald of the 4th, however, seems to
have other information, for it says:
The latest news from Washington
confirms the report that Collector
Clark Is to 90. II this is true, it Is to
be hoped that the president will ap-
point a home man to the office. There
are but three candidates prominent
ly mentioned from this city, viz:
E. G. Roberts, Chas. Merrick and
w. S. McCutcheon. All of these
gentlemen have extensive business
interests in this city, and none of
them have made any fight upon Mr..
Clark. They may have complained
of his lack of re~publicanism, but that
is all. The selection OF either of
these gentlemen would prove hlgnly
satisfactory to the people of Ell
Paso."
1t is not the business of the LIGHT
to intermeddle in this local struggle
owe the Ell Paso collectorship. This
much, however is admissible. The
post should be filled by some good
Ell Paso republican. There are plen-
ty of good men and true republican,

Let the republicans of FL Paso, in
caucus, unite on their man and urge

they will certainly shut out all tor
eign applications.

A MIDNIGHT SPELL.
By NJ. I.ORlNG GUILD.

The low range of sand hills over
which Browning Carter was walking
was softly lit by the full summer moon.
From his position the young man could
overlook the leyel green country at his
right, and the quiet sea at his left.
1t was evident, however, that he saw
neither. In his eyes was the far away
look of expectation, and, as he moved
ii ong IN buoyant ecstasy he was quite
unconscious OF the slipping sand and
tangled dun grass.
Presently he came to break in the
hills, sort of gulley which the sea had
once cut. Hear the coarse dune grass
had reluctantly y given place to a finer
species, and, in The centre Of the hollow
stood solitary tree. Its twisted, storm
whipped arms looked gaunt and appeal
ing in the flood OF moonlight.
At sight of the tree the young man
made low exclamation and quickened
his already swift pace. As he approached
he scanned closely the scantily leayed
branches. 1t was not till quite near
them that he was certain of their
species.
lie heaved sigh of deep satisfaction.
San oak thought so"
There was strange excitement in
his manner, and his hand trembled as
he took out his watch.
"A quarter of twelve. Ten minutes
to wait. The lncantation takes but
five"
Rather impatiently the young man
sat down at the foot Of the old oak ,and
took from his pocket small, calf bound
volume, very old and very musty.
He had recently found it among a lot
of old books which had been left him by
his great a man of much mystical
learning. who, in earlier times, would
doubtless have suffered under the accu-
satlon of witchcraft.
Carter, at the time of his uncle's
death, had rather wondered at the odd
bequest. But the elder Carter had
evidently seen in the nervous, sensitive
temperament Of the young man that
which would make HIM fit disciple of
theosopby.

Fly.Eating Plants.

Did yon ever see plants that live on
flies or mosquitoes? Hearing OF them,
| took stroll through the botonical
gardens at. Washington, and inquired of
the superintendent about the truth of
the story, says writer III the Philadel.
phia Times.
"Oh yes, we have some such thing"
he said, land here is one now.' He
pointed to a pot containing what seemed
to be moss. But in this green mass
could be seen tiny shells, like baby clam
shells. only they we're thin and green
and only half open. Along the edge
were green hairs like eyelashes.
"You see fly goes in here,' he ex.
planned, as he opened the two halves,
and when he gets in the leaves close.
Then the fly can't get out. Then he
dies and his substance is absorbed by
the bad little flower. 1t grows only in
South Carolina.
"Here is what I call the beer saloon"
he continued. you see this is shaped
like pitcher, hangs from long stem
and has curved lid. Inside is IL fluid
that intoxicates all insects that drink it.
They are then absorbed by the plant.
This other one, like round, hollow,
tulip stem, is of the same nature
'Then here is a big green pitcher
plant. Well, frogs climb in this to
drink from the fluid at the bottom.
But they can't get out, for when they
try to a couple of sharp horns in the lid
overhead stab them in the back.
Could any one dream that an inno-
cent fragrant flower could be co heart
less 1t butchers its victim after Turing
it into an intoxicating den. and then
feeds on the mangled remains.
This on the board Is what we call
stagmoss. You see it grows on the side
of the house from clump of brown
leaves like deer's head. From it
branches out four large green prongs of
leaves exactly like horns. Of all
curious plants this is about the oldest.
These green leaves are spotted with
white and you can always trace a face
on the outlines, and l call 1t caricature
plant"

Two Songs.

The sun is gone from the valleys,
The air breathes fresh and chill;
On the barn roof yellow with lichcn
A robin is singing shrill.
Like n tawny leaf is his bosom,
Like dead leaf is his wing;
He is glad of the coming winter
AS the thrush is glad of the spring.
The sound ola shepherds piping
Comes down from distant fold,
Like the ripple of running water,
AS tuncless, and sweet, and cold.
The two songs mingle together;
Like and unlike are they,
For one sounds tired and plaintivc,
Aud one rings proud snd gay.
They take no thought of their music,
The bird and the shepherd lad;
Rut the bird voice thrills with rapture
And the human note is sad.

The Weaver.

| stood in the room of a weaver,
Then watching the shuttlcs fly,
And the colors as they blended,
Like rainbow IN the sky.
His eyes were fixed on the pattern,
AS he wrought the figure fine,
So wonderful in its beauty,
So marvellous in design.
How earnestly he is looking;
He turns not to gaze away
From the ti4ure he is weaving,
Or the shuttles in their play.
He knows If q thread is broken,
Or a co.or be misplaced,
1t would mar the costly fabric,
And could never be cifaccd.
watched, and watched, nor grew weary
And these thoughts came to my mind
That we, all of us, are weayers,
And God has made the design;
Has drawn Il beautiful pattern,
For us to work by each day;
Is helping us with the shuttlcs,
Is guiding them in Their play.
But there ofteutimcs come moments
When we tire, and listlcss stand;
Grow forgetfui Of the pattern,
And seek not the helping hand.
Only moment we turn back,
Then cry cut with grief and pain.
80. Father see the broken threads
We cannot make whole again"
When our weaving is all finished,
And our looms stand idly by;
When our work, us impcr!ection,
Is seen by the Masters eye,
May We hear these words, rejoicing:
"Thoush many threads are liycn,
And mars and stains thy fabric bears,
For these, thou art forgiven"
