A Washington letter says: "Some of
the Colored politicians are beginning to
ask the question, whether or not Mr..
Blain would exclude them from every
branch of the service as he now does
practically from the diplomatic and con-
sular, service if he were elected to the
Presidency" 1t is our private opinion
that that is just precisely what Mr..
Blaine would do. He has never, that
we are aware, shown any friendship to
the Afro-American.

No greater mistake can be made with
men than for woman to boast of her
success in winning hearts and proposals.
1t seems impossible that woman pos
sessing one ray of common sense or a
particle of breeding could do such a
thing; yet it is not an unusual thing to
hear young lady relating her conquests
to group Of admirers, and laughing
over the susceptibility of mankind.
Though they may laugh with her, they
are sure to laugh about her among them
selves when herback is turned.

SATURDAY., NOVEMB Der 7, 1891.

Judge Lynch seems to become most
potent factor in our social system and
his court one of the recognized irstitu-
lions of the country. Mob law and law
less violence seems to prevail to greater
extent and throughout wider scope of
territory than at any previous period Of
our history Justice indeed seems blind
to the most reckless violation of law and
public sentiment seems to admit it's ex-.
7stence, as in many cases, not merely a
necessary evil, but as a commendable
act of selt-pres ervation. This was, actu-
ally the line of defence offered by the
assassins Of the Italians in New Orleans.
Again, it has been excused as necessary
to guard our civilization, or to prevent
NEGRO dominion" 1t must not be for
gotten, however, that such doctrin can
be used as a justification for any crime.
The outlaws, who are burning tressels
and imperiling the lives of travellers in
Georgia, claim to be simply avenging
wrongs they suffered at the hands of the
law. The rioting Pennsylvania miners
suffered great wrongs, thousands of lab
orers complain of grevious wrong. 1t
may not be we'll, to teach them that
mob law is the proper remedy.

About Receiving Gifts.

From the receivers standpoint all gift1
may be divided into things that we want
and things that we don't want. It takes
no particular skill or grace to receive
things that we want, but as, in times OF
general giving, like Christmas, the larger
part of the gifts we get are things that
we don't want, that branch of receiver.
ship is worth attention. The two ordi-
nary reasons for not wanting things are
the vulgar one that they do not strike us
as intrinsically desirable, and the more
complex reason that we don't want to re.
ceive them from the particular giver. A
general remedy applicable to reluctances
due to either of these causes is to keep
streIuously in the mind the happiness OF
the giver in giving.
Remembering that, you are delighted
with a trif}e from some one you love, be-
cause it makes you happy to have beer
even passively instrumental in procuring
him the happiness of giving; applying the
same principle, you can accept ever SO
costly a gift from some one for whom
you care little without any irksome sense
of obligation, since Of course the giver
had the best of it any way, and it is a
great deal kinder and more generous to
sacrifice ones personal inclinations and
accept. than to refuse. Remember per-
sistently that by receiving with due grace
you secure to another person desirable
form of happiness.

Bidding Texans to a Wedding.

This morning an unusual sight was
seen on Brenham's streets. It was a
horseman gayly decorated with ribbons
of every hue of the rainbow. These rib
bons were hung in clusters and festoons
all over the rider and horse. The horses
ears and forehead were covered with a
sort of cap in which were stuck feathers
Of bright colors. surrounded with rosettes
and knots of ribbons.
The rider was Fritz Wiesepappe, and
questions about his startling decorations
elected the information that he was the
inviting agent to MARRIAGE sort of
animated wedding card. His brother,
Herman Wiesepappe, and Miss Bertha
Schultz are to be married next Thursday
at the home of the bride, in the Post
Oaks, five or six miles east of here, and
he was summoning the guests. Calves.

The Zodiacal Light,

The curious phenomenon of the zodi-
acal light may now be seen in the early
morning skies little before sunrise. In
this latitude it takes the form of a por-
ton of an ellipse whose longest diameter
is inclined somewhat from the perpen-
dicular, and may be looked for in that
part of the sky where the sun is about to
appear. Its pearly gray light is caused
by the reflection of the suns rays from
countless swarms of meteors which re.
volve about him at different distances.
It has recently been suggested that these
meteors are the medium by which the
electrical connection between the sun
and the earth is established; in fact, that
they play the same part in the solar sys-
tenn that the copper wire does in the con-
veyance of electric energy from the
dynamo to the electric lamp.-New York
Recorder,
